southeastern wisconsin real estate: Employment Brings Investment - 01/23/19 03:49 AM

The market varies and as we all know different markets can mean shifting what you do...or where you do it.....and sometimes, as was the case in short sales..even HOW you do it. Regardless of the niche or kind of sales we believe it is best pursued with a base in education.
   We have both taken CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) courses...we have been landlords and flippers. Back in the day, we shorted commercial property with with mega lien holders for over a million dollars.  In this part of … (11 comments)

  The phone call began....."My attorney said that I could list with you now....or after the Judge told me to...." said the post divorce caller.

  Sometimes in our divorce niche...we are not the first Realtors....the couple has listened to their friend, cousin, neighbor who is the Realltor who told them what they wanted to hear for a price...and the house didn't sell. Sometimes … (11 comments)

southeastern wisconsin real estate: Your Goal IS..... - 06/15/08 01:45 AM
 
 
 
   I had a friend that always used to say that your goal should be to make enough money to pay people to do things that you cannot or do not want to do.....That goal can be professional, personal and combinations.  We work at quarterly goals and examine what we are doing that is working...and what is not. What we can improve on that seems to be working and what we will abandon.
    With some health challenges...the older we get, those seem to multiply....we have some goals in that area...lose weight, exercise....healthier eating.  We have business goals...The … (1 comments)
