Property listings with a flexible commission scale.  Property Sellers have different needs and expectations.  Not one single commission schedule will appeal to every Seller nor suit their needs.   The property type dictates the marketing plan that you will need.  Selling a home is very different than selling a duplex or a multi family unit.  Selling a condominium will have a completely different set of challenges.   Marketing a commercial or investment property is vastly different than marketing a single family home.  Properties can be as diverse as the owners.  Each must have it's own personal marketing plan targeting a specific group of qualified and eligible Buyers.    Location dictates the approach taken in developing a custom marketing plan to sell a home.  Buyers looking for homes...

While attempting to find the deal of a lifetime try and find a home for sale with the perfect yard.  If you are looking at foreclosed and bank owned properties chances are these properties have been sitting vacant for many months and the weeds have taken over the yard.  How do you turn a weed infested yard into a lush lawn?  The best tip is to talk to the neighbor with the best yard on the block.  This is a great way to get out and meet the neighbors.  If you are lucky they will be sick and tired of looking at the lawn and do the work for you.  Since we don't all live in a perfect world we will have to consider some alternative solutions.  Hiring a lawn service to get the lawn up to par may be the solution.   Interview a number of forms and get written estimates detailing the steps take...

Zopen - A wiffleball tournament to fight cancer. Almost all of us have known someone who has been effected by cancer. I know that when I was just 1 year old I lost my mother to cancer due to a misdiagnosis. There are many things still to be learned about cancer and things have come along way during the past 24 years. Since getting married in 2004 I have seen 5 other people in my church effected by cancer. So far all have been succesful in their battle, but it has impacted them for the rest of their lives. Because of two great men, Ron Johnson and Gary Bell, the Zopen was created by John Lorenz. He was one of the many lives that they touched. It started as just a backyard bareque and has grown into a amazing event. The goal of the event is to raise funds for the Community Memorial Hospit...

  Down Payment Assistance for Buyers!   Finally a program designed to actually HELP Buyers and Sellers.   Since most Buyers no longer have that big gold nugget saved up to put down on the closing table… Since Sellers are sitting there waiting for a qualified Buyer to come along… Since it is ILLEGAL for Sellers to give Buyers help with the down payment… This is BIG!   The name…. The Nehemiah Program.   Here is a snap shot of how The Nehemiah Program works in conjunction to the home selling and buying process…   1. Buyer realizes that they would like the have the benefits of homeownership and contacts his local Realtor via his website. Ex: www.MattYogerst.com or www.BrokerBryant.com, etc..   2. Buyer goes to get pre-approved, but finds out that they can no longer get 100% financing… Smart...

College Basketball in March is a FANTASTIC thing! I would first like to send my condolences over to Marquette for their recent tourney loss. Now, moving on to the Badgers. I do think their level of play is very consistently good. They have a chance to win against ANY team. They have a good starting 5 and reserves. Here is a snapshot of their Starting Lineup: Landry (PF) - Does the Dirty Work down low, has great work ethic. Krabbenhoft (SF) - My Favorite - Always plays smart and aggressive. Butch (F/C) - Can stretch the D with 3-pt range! Hughes (PG) - Energetic player that can distribute the rock. Flowers (SG) - LOCK-DOWN DEFENDER... should have been Big 10 Defensive Player of Year.  Key Reserves: Bohannon (G) - Sweet shooter Stiemsma (C) - Great Rebounder With Bo Ryan running the show,...

The last time I jotted some notes about Wisconsin Sports it was entitled Wisconsin Sports - The Good, the Bad, the Uuuuuugly! I received a couple good comments - one of which questioned my exclusion of the Marquette Warriors - aka "Golden Eagles". I left them out because they didn't fit into the three categories. They aren't "that good" or "bad" or "ugly". They are STREAKY. Meaning that they can be good and bad and each side rears its ugly head when unexpected.  There were a couple times this year when I had the great opportunity to sit down, relax, and watch an entire game. Once they were fantastic! Twice they stunk up the floor. I do realize that teams can have a bad game here and there, but it is during the games that they are inconsistent. I like to see them succeed and do well, but...

That is what my two main investor clients are doing! Right now is a great time to buy a house, not just in Menomonee Falls, but in all of Wisconsin! Prices are low, and Sellers are motivated! If you are an investor, vacation home seeker, first-timer, or down-sizer... now is a GREAT time to find and buy your next property and even sell your current one! The top tip I can give on selling your home today, is fix it up! Make the updates and improvements necessary to make your home appeal to the pickiest of buyers. Also, spending money on staging is worth it! I have always found that the clients who have used a staging service have netted above and beyond their competition! Sellers: Take pride in your home, invest in updates and staging! Buyers: Take your pick of the litter! Both: Email Info...
