Buying and selling Real Estate in Waukesha County Wisconsin  and being one of the Waukesha County Real Estate agents working in Waukesha County Real Estate has evolved to be a lot more avenues and responsibilities than it did in 1985. When I started in this Industry it was pretty simple. You had a desk phone, a phone book, and every two weeks you received a copy of your MLS books, which had every listing in the surrounding 7 counties. One would rip out sections of the MLS books and give them to their potential buyers. You pretty much sat at your desk and you cold called and worked on whatever you thought would generate a lead. Without any cell phones, computers, social media, Internet, or anything close to the tools today, those remain to be some of my best years ever. You were driven, ...

I have sold real estate for about 28 years now and sometimes I am still taken back by some of the behavior, comments, and actions by real estate agents, and sellers and buyers. At one time I had a Re/Max office, oh about the early 90's, that I owned with some partners. I also was the manager. We had a lot agents working with us. I remember one young guy at that time would always come in just about every day so hung over it was crazy. Nice guy. After a long time of hearing him say everyday "I really need to get some things going" I suggested "Why don't you start earlier like a lot of us. Get your prospects together and be ready to roll. Have a productive day perhaps?" His answer "I have a lot of fun with my friends at night and I think though you might be on to something Tommy" Months we...

In this installment of  Tom Braatz, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#5-6) we will talk about the need to find a Waukesha County Real Estate agent that is very well connected; a support system and company, an active Internet presence, and the use of technology in in their business. I would be pretty fair and correct in saying that you could get any Waukesha County real estate agent to tell you they can get the job done, but there are many factors that can help you make a better and more informed decision about selecting the agent that can get the property listed, find you the right property, and get you to a successful closing with everything all addressed and followed in a correct manner. I have plenty of friends that own their own company and they ...

  In this installment of  Tom Braatz, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#4 of 6)  we will talk about Waukesha County real estate agents specializing in different areas of the real estate Industry. This might seem very interesting to note that I see many Waukesha County real estate agents taking on different projects but I also know many that have a certain niche they have developed. There are those that I know which their niches make them strong. I know some people that work primarily on short sales. It requires a lot of time but because they have it down they make their numbers work. Then again I know agents that do nothing but land development and subdivisions. Again, these agents sell other avenues of real estate but they have a great knowledge of ...

The Wisconsin State Fair: Are ewe going to be there? Have fun until the cows come home! I get excited asking my friends if they are making time for one of the greatest times one can have in this State. August 2nd to August 12th are the dates set aside for the Wisconsin State Fair in Wisconsin this year. Outstanding value, out of this world food, those magnificent animals, and every ride, great musical act, and venue one would want. You can find more information by going to this link here The Wisconsin State Fair: Are ewe going to be there? Have fun until the cows come home! I personally enjoy all that great barbecue food and I would have to think those amazing cream puffs have a place in my heart as well. In this beautiful state of Wisconsin there are many wonderful county fairs but the...

 Often I make reference to many of all the great things one can do in the Kettle Moraine area. It was not too long ago someone asked "Hey Tom Braatz, what is a Kettle Moraine?" Well it's not so much what is it, but also where it is. By definition, per Wikipedia  "A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock) which can occur in currently glaciated and formerly glaciated regions, such as those areas acted upon by a past ice age. This debris may have been plucked off the valley floor as a glacier advanced or it may have fallen off the valley walls as a result of frost wedging. Moraines may be composed of debris ranging in size from silt-like glacial flour to large boulders. The debris is typically sub-angular to rounded in shape. Moraines m...

The word logic by itself makes reference to to level of intelligence and aptitude a an agent may have  a productive day and I will see you at closing! When it all comes down to the right thing its what is good for our client or customer. Not a dollar. Only makes sense that if we do out job right be deserve to get paid. Lately, I am a little taken back by some agents that are more interested in the dollar than what the real goal should be. After all, we got into real estate to make a difference with our buyers and or sellers. It wasn't that long ago then we fought to put  deal together but somehow history has faded and I ave agents asking abut commissions and bonuses. If you do your job right you deserve to get paid. Pretty logical. We deal with people and not numbers and we tend to forg...

Recently I put a new website together, www.waukeshacountylakehomes.com, and the most important feature I made sure to utilize was my MLS IDX search site. (pretty much like the one below next to Lar's card) This same IDX site is also at my other other sites such as    www.nagawickalakehomes.com, www.okaucheelakehomesforsale.com, www.pewaukeewisconsinlakehomes.com, waukeshacountylakehomesforsale.com, www.oconomowocwisconsinlakehomes.com, or www.delafieldwisconsinlakehomes.com. Truth is they pretty much are hyper linked to two of my websites for convenience and searching this way makes it easy for a buyer to do a detailed search on their own. Shortly, each will be an independent blog or website on their own. I would like to extend an invitation to you if you are looking for a very specific...

 In our next part of our series  "Tom Braatz, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#2 of 6)" the topic will be selecting the right real estate agent in Waukesha County to help you buy a home. This is not as easy as Googling Finding a real estate agent in Waukesha County . When you are ready to buy a home or property there are many areas of concern that you may want to address and make sure are covered before and during the home buying process. Your first plan of attack would be to have the Waukesha County real estate agent recommend a number of qualified lenders that will start an application and get you pre-approved for a property. By being pre-approved you know what you qualify for in terms of mortgage, what program will be best suited for you in corre...
