I took the leap of faith and now I'm blogging. I admit it, it's my first time. I'm looking forward to using Bob's Blog as another creative tool to help people with real estate needs in the Fox Cities. I'm at the Coldwell Banker The Real Estate Group Appleton office on John St. The office location is perfect for me being centrally located and easy to access the entire Fox Valley area and surrounding cities. Being my first time with the Blog I'll quit while I'm ahead but I look forward to coming back. Thanks- Bob

Does your Realtor listen?Does your Realtor listen, I mean really listen?  When you ask for listings or comparables, does your Realtor give you what you ask for?  Or what they thought you meant?  Or what they felt like?I guess I am getting ahead of myself...is your Realtor really your Realtor?  Do you have a signed agreement with a Realtor?  If you don't, then the Realtor really isn't yours.  I am an advocate for buyer representation.  You should have someone working on your behalf, BEFORE you start looking at homes.The subject here however, is listening.  During your dialog are you given the chance to ask questions, without interruption?  Does the Realtor go back over your questions with you?  Make certain that everyone is on the same page.The reason I am asking these questions is I am ...

I think it is incredibly important to talk with and get to know the agent you choose, that is who you will be working with.I think trust and reliability are two key factors that should help you with your decision. Remember this is one of the largest investments in your life. ...

Life with Koda                                       Last year my daughter started asking for a puppy.  You need to understand that I need another animal and responsibility like I need a hole in the middle of my head.  We already have 1 farm dog, 2 inside cats and numerous barn cats.  The barn (shed) is filled with dairy heifers and horses.The previous summer (summer of '05) I had to put the farm dog (he adopted us when we moved here) on joint medication.  During the winter he became increasingly stiff and I knew he would not be able to make it for very much longer.  So, in the spring I started contemplating a puppy to ease the children's inevitable loss.  I was not looking for a replacement for Snickers, but something that would take their mind off Snicker's passing when the time arriv...
