  In todays WALL STREET JOURNAL the article Housing Imperils Recovery states that nationally home prices have sunk to 2002 levels "effectively wiping out almost a decade's worth of home equity across the U.S. and imperiling the fragile economic recovery as Americans confront the falling value of their biggest investment"  Whenever reports come out about national housing trends, I research Kenosha housing trends to see if we are in fact moving with the rest of the country and at the same rate. Often times when I meet with sellers and talk about national housing trends, I find that they are living in denial, and use excuses such as... "those are the national trends, things are different in every market". I figure that is a fair enough rebuttal, so here are some statistics about the City o...

The New Normal in the Kenosha Real Estate Market   In 2006 I began selling Kenosha, WI properties as short sales. When I first started listing these homes they “flew off the shelves” faster than the iPad 2 because there was a shortage of good priced properties. That year the average sale price of the 2,158 single family homes sold in the Kenosha County MLS was $202,538 and our town as well as the entire country was sitting on a real estate bubble. I remember an agent from another office calling me that year regarding one of my listings. The listing had been published in the MLS as being subject to short sale approval by the sellers lender, and the agent wasn’t sure what that meant. He wanted to write a full price cash offer. I explained to him that the sellers lender would still have to...

As a real estate broker who specializes in listing and selling foreclosure and pre-foreclosure properties in Southeastern Wisconsin, I often receive emails and phone calls asking how to get a good deal on a foreclosed property.

Here are 10 steps to getting a good deal on a foreclosure in Kenosha, WI (or ANY area for that matter). #1  DO YOUR HOMEWORK AHEAD OF TIME  The first step to getting a GREAT DEAL on a foreclosed home is KNOWING what a good deal looks like before you ACTUALLY SEE ONE.  All to often inexperienced investor...

The first quarter is over, tax credit has come to an end, rates are slowly climbling but there is no time like the present to stay motivated and continue to build your business - The days of business being handed to us has long been over - sure, the tax credit was a bonus not only to buyers but also to us agents but now since that has ended, what are you doing to stay motivated and get business?   Prospecting, Prospecting, Prospecting!  is what I have turned to.. I have committed to doing two open houses in a month, prospecting daily and staying focused! I must confess, I lost focus and was unmotivated for a while but after getting a kick in the butt from my coach, I am glad to say that I am back on track.  I believe that with a positive attitude, a good work ethic, and continuous prosp...

In a previous post, I described being contacted by an out of state investor interested in pursuing real estate to be sold in a tax sale.  Coincidentally, the property which the out of state investor contacted me about ended up in the hands of one of my clients.  As the successful bidder of a property seized by the IRS and sold for nonpayment of taxes, my client (and I as broker) had lots of unchartered territory to muddle our way through. Soon after the purchase, my client contacted me to list the property for sale.  She was concerned that another party's name appeared on the tax bill. Surely just an example of typical delays in processing paperwork.  A quick search and hold of the title proved valuable since my client was apparently a joint title holder with a complete stranger. Accord...

It's been just over six months since that fateful day when Northpointe subdivision was one of the communities effected by the the JANUARY 7th tornado's that caught Kenosha, County by surprise.   As a resident of Northpointe, my home was one of the many affected by the storms. While the siren's raged throughout all of Kenosha County, and there were reports of sightings out in Wheatland, WI, I found myself racing home while on the phone with my then-pregnant wife, who was huddled in a corner of the basement with my sons and our dog. I'll never forget the feeling in the pit of my stomach as I turned down our street and began to see the damage to our neighborhood. My next door neighbor was screaming in fear as she ran into what was left of her home to see if her husband and two children wer...

I have been working the last few days to give my blog a face lift. It still remains under construction as work on coming up with a name for my blog. It shouldn't be this hard, but I tend to over think things. Part of my dilemma is trying to incorporate both Racine and Kenosha while having the name be a reflection of what my blog is about. Our office is in Kenosha, but almost by accident about 65% of my closed transaction this year have been in the city of Racine. As I was doing some research I came across some interesting information. Did you know... The city of Racine is named for the Root River. The river is about 35 miles long, and flows into Lake Michigan in the city of Racine. Racine is the French word for root. The city of Kenosha was first called Pike after the post office was es...
