I was contacted by a team of my agents who informed me that they were leaving my company to start their own business.  After trying to persuade them to stay, I sincerely wished them luck and hope they succeed. My first reaction when I heard the news was "are you nuts?"  This is a very difficult m...

I have family and friends who live in Paducah, Kentucky.  A few days ago a major ice storm went through their part of the country.  Power lines and numerous trees are down.  Some areas aren't expected to get power back until the middle of February.  If you've never experienced something like this...

Today I received a cash offer on one of my listings.  It's so poor the buyer's agent didn't bother to send the whole offer over to me.  She wrote it and they signed it yesterday.  I got it a few hours ago.  The binding acceptance date is today which leaves me only a few hours to respond.  Nice, h...

My builder, who has numerous properties listed with me, called to ask about the activity on his homes.  He calls every day.  He has some rental properties as well as new construction listed.  As I mentioned yesterday, my phone has been very active.  No one is calling about the existing homes, how...

Even though we are still in January, I can't help but think that spring is in the air.  I can tell because we've gone almost five days in a row without getting any snow.  We haven't done that since last July.  I'm kidding of course.  It was actually August. For the first two weeks of the Jauary, ...

The open houses will be held from 1:00PM until 3:00PM at 2188 Klondike, 2170 Klondike, 2116 Gard...

I recently received a phone call from one of my agents.  She phoned to tell me that she decided to retire from real estate.  She was one of the first agents I hired when I became my company's managing broker.  Over the years, she has proven herself to be a very solid agent.  She isn't close to re...

When people find out I work closely with a builder, they usually ask me "what's his square foot price to build a xxxx sq. ft. ranch?".  They are attempting to simplify a very complicated process.  Asking that question is like going into a car dealership and asking the car salesman what it costs t...

If you are in need of something to do on Sunday, come visit my open house located at 1504 Lindale Lane in Ashwaubenon.  It is scheduled from 1:00PM until 3:00PM.  This 1,600 sq. ft. home is in move in ready condition. The home is actually my mother's.  We have done some extensive updating.  We ha...

For the last few weeks, my business has slowed down.  I am not getting as many call as I would like and while I have activity, I could use some more.  I'm not in a panic.  It happens every year at this time. Part of the reason is the market but it is mostly due to the time of year and the weather...
