There was a time when you could literally put a sign in your front yard and it would not be that long when you could have some buyers; that day is long over. Putting a sign in your front yard does not do it; it takes a lot of hard work and effort, a game plan that works, being in 6 places at once, a viral Internet campaign that puts the property out in front, good communication and closing skills, and an integrated team effort to get to a successful closing. When you are looking to sell, or buy any of the Lake Country Real estate and Oconomowoc Wisconsin homes for sale. Waukesha County Real Estate is a challenge to sell and I have a method that works. I always have Lars keeping an eye on everything which allows me, for choice of a better word, to work my tail off to get my clients to th... 08/08/2010

These are hard times we live in; make no mistake about it. When I am traveling down that Oconomowoc Wisconsin Real Estate and Lake Country Real estate market I always know it is a two way street with all my sellers and I would much rather have them driving with me than against me in that traffic. Being one of the Waukesha County Real Estate agents and Oconomowoc Wisconsin Real Estate agents and Lake Country Real estate agents for 25 years now I am the first one to tell you I want your listing but I don't need it. Not to be point blank but isn't it easier knowing I want to help you and we rolled up our sleeves and got our game plan together than me taking anything at any terms or any price? It would be so unfair for me to take an over priced home in this market. It would be so unfair for... 08/06/2010

I have your back covered. How many times have you heard that and really wondered if you can count on someone?

There really is something in a person's word. When you give it or it is asked of you it requires one to know that it involves your backbone, your core beliefs, and it needs to stand for something. I myself am a mixture of a somewhat complex person but for the most part I really am of a simple nature. I think, well I know, there really is only one person that really gets me and knows me. What could have been guarded by past experiences is all but surrendered. I try to step up to the plate everyday for that person. It's not me needing to, I want to.  Sure, I interact everyday with people and I want them to know that when I take on a job it will not involve procrastination. I am going to complete what I started out to do, and I will work to get them to a successful closing. It does not mat... 08/05/2010

This is a life long problem with lots of people. I learned very early that the true essence of life and what you hold near and dear to your heart has a way to always make you smile and just let people know they are amazing. I have people in my life that look at me and I know they know the last thing I will ever do is take them for granted. People need to hear and see they are special. They deserve it. Oconomowoc Wisconsin Real estate and Lake Country real estate is similar. I meet agents that will list a property and just forget about a seller. Sure, they may not mean it but people do not want to be taken for granted. A commitment is a commitment, and if you say something you have to make sure to act on your promises. That's why some agents flourish and some struggle. I have a very simp... 08/05/2010

Some things really can pan out to be good and I often think that habit or history has a way for people to want to stop in the way of progress or to just enjoy what they should enjoy. Taking a chance and reaching out requires faith and a strong sense that you know you are frightened. Some fear can be motivating and it turns into good things when it is deserved. They will look at everything that can go bad and not face the fact that this may be good thing, a very good thing in time to come. Sad, but I hear people talk themselves out of great things they have coming to themselves. Their life is a joy and it is to be lived with passion. Real Estate and Waukesha County Real estate is living proof of this. I can meet with a seller that previously has been a For sale by owner or worst yet, the... 08/05/2010

Waukesha County Real Estate and the selling of Real Estate is a lot like everyday life. As I was sitting this past weekend listening to the pastor it just so happened he was talking about reaching down deep for that strength. Somethings mean the world to me and at a time when I was looking so hard for reason that something happened it hit me; the things in life that really are everything require daily maintainance, a constant commitment for putting the other one first, and knowing in one's heart that they see their weakness and they act on it to learn from it and make things stronger, better, happier, and strive for an inner sense of commitment that proves itself. Selling Waukesha County Real Estate is very similar. Many circumstances prevail. New couples buying homes, helping a seller ... 07/31/2010

It is no easy task being organized, keeping on top of my market, and being in 5 places at one time in Waukesha County Real estate and the Oconomowoc Wisconsin Real Estate and Lake Country Real Estate market. Recently at a seminar not too long ago a young woman was asking me questions about my prospecting and how I kept track of my total business. Looking for a wonderful answer I came out and answered her "I don't have a clue". A little laughter but soon I was able to explain to her that I delegate a lot of my work and I concentrate on what I am really good at. I told her that for the most part I just try to be that Cinderella man and I have my back covered with talented people. I went on to tell her that if she had lots of time to being all organized and looking for business her formul... 07/31/2010

  I have been selling Waukesha County real estate for just about 25 years now, and if there is one thing I have learned is the only thing constant about real estate is change. Change in forms, change in government, change in laws, changes in underwriting, change in just about every angle of this Industry. I do one thing that is never going to change; I always need to stick to the basics of this business of I will lose hold of the basic fundamentals and techniques that have helped me. People are and always will be people. This is a people business. When I started in this Industry it was plainly evident that I saw changes I would like to see and it just proved one more time that the majority was not always right. I was shown through my eyes that it really was not so much the way the World... 07/30/2010

 Selling Waukesha County Real Estate is a lot different than it was a few years ago. It takes a solid gameplan, lots of energy, a winning attitude, and lots of determination. I am fortunate to have a very amazing mentor and ray of Sunshine in my life named Linda. This woman has more common sense and brilliance than anyone I have ever met before. It seems that she and I talk often about people stepping up to the plate. People either do what they need to do and get the energy, determination, and will to do it; or for the most part they don't. One does truly win some, lose some, but we always get dressed for every game. Oconomowoc Wisconsin Real Estate and Lake Country Real Estate takes hard work and effort. It's just not a sign in your front yard or the corner window of your building. Tr... 07/29/2010

 Waukesha County Real Estate has lots of great real estate agents in it; many I am proud to call them my friends and colleagues. I have learned from them, and we have learned from each other. Early on in my business I worked for a large company and the philosophy for the most part was to go out and get the listings so the company could fill up the local paper once a week with all the listings. As time went by I asked my self what was wrong with this picture. The need to take care of the client in my eyes was masked even more by pushing agents for the company to keep their position and market strength. This was absolutely wrong in my eyes and from that day forward I decided that actions did speak louder than words. It meant being totally honest, standing my ground, and handling each tran... 07/29/2010

People know me in this Waukesha County Real estate market. The people that know me know I am ahigh energy person. I like to be driven and focused, and I am goal orientated. I pride myself on having good sales skills, knowledgeable in all my residential and commercial aspects, and I love to get people to a closing. When I entered my career It did not take me long to realize that I needed to set myself apart from others and the way they did business. I was not a know it all and I would not pretend to be one. I found it easy to be honest and tell someone I did not know the answer but I would be happy to find the answer for them. Something intrinsic happened in time and I fould myself being attentive to what clients were really saying. I had made a conscience effort out of listening. To th... 07/28/2010

     In life and in business trust is something that can be given but for the most part it is earned just as well. People that know me know that I am a loyal person and when I trust someone it really means something.  The people in my life I trust emphatically and I know they feel the same way.I can count on that and it is something that I have earned. That circle may be small but I know I can count on them, truly count on them. The same holds true for clients; these people are putting a lot of faith in me and I will not let them down. I will always be honest with you and I ask you if I may earn your trust if you are considering buying or selling real estate. I may sell a lot of real estate but I do it one home, one building, one business, and one person at a time. It is that human conn... 07/23/2010
