greater milwaukee real estate: Now more then ever
- 02/14/09 01:48 AM
Driving around town lately I have been seeing a by owner company advertising on billboards with the headline "Now more than Ever". I could not help but to think to myself that they are exactly right, but not in their favor. In a tough, buyers market does it really make sense do have less service? Or to pay a fee to a company that could care less if your home sells or not? Or for that matter does it even make sense to hire an agent for a discounted fee, knowing that they will not be giving you a full service package? … (0 comments)

greater milwaukee real estate: Jeesh is anyone working this week?
- 07/03/08 03:14 AM
I have been making my calls this week and I swear every person asked me to call after the 4th. Even pepole I had appointments with this week rescheduled for after the 4th. I was asking around the office if we were getting many calls for showings, and that's slow too. We have 45 agents and close to 350 listings, so that is saying something. Well I guess all i can do is make the best of my time by catching up on Admin stuff, and prep myself for big week after the 4th. Hope you all have a good week … (4 comments)

I was doing some showings over the weekend, and as I was setting some showings up on a number of homes(With 3 day notice), I have to say I was a bit surprised that out of all of the home owners, 1 out of 9 said no. Believe me I understand it was Father's Day weekend, and we all have personal lives, but really if you really want to sell, you got to get people through the door. So after all the showings were through the buyers decided on a home to put a slam dunk offer on. Now I can't … (8 comments)

Going through the Daily Hot Sheet (All new activity in the last 24 hours) on the MLS, as I do every morning, I have to say that I am still amazed at the number of new listings that I see that are blatantly over priced when they are just coming on the market. I know that every seller wants as much as possible for their property, that's human nature. But when there are agents improperly doing their jobs, it's really the agent's fault when the home won't sell. So seller's here's some tips for you to watch out for. 1. An experienced … (0 comments)
