January 25th, 2010 I don't spend much time on Face Book or Twitter  or other such sites for the simple reason that I don't have time.  However, someone just called my attention to a Face Book site that was developed for the sole purpose of holding up a person (who I will not name, but it is not m...

December 28th, 2009 I wonder how many zillions of blogs are starting out that way today? But, you know what - 2009 has been a really tough year for probably most Americans (not to mention people all over the world), so we really deserve a happier new year.  Everyone knows the real estate business...

February 20th, 2008 What is a Buyer's Agent and when and why might you want one?  A Buyer's Agent is a licensed real estate agent with whom you have signed a contract-a WB-36 Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement.  In this agreement, the Buyer (you) agree pay the agent to find a property for you to b...

December 6th, 2009 This year, I'm making my Christmas gifts myself.  Baking cookies, knitting and crocheting scarves and hats, and making jewelry from glass beads I made myself are a few of my current projects.  This summer I took a lampworking (making glass beads) at the Clearing in Ellison Bay...

August 11th, 2009 I live in Fish Creek.  My office is in Ephraim. My commute to work is ten miles.  One mile is on Juddville Road, a paved country road with no center-line.  Six miles are on a County Road A which is a bit wider and does have a painted center-line. The last three miles are on Stat...

July 19th, 2009 July 19th, midsummer in Door County-a time of lazy days and peaceful nights.  And the nights have been peaceful, cool with no raucous thunder storms to wake us up in the middle of the night.  This is the time of year we wish would go on forever.  Sometimes I roam the county just t...

June 30th, 2009 An unheard concept in the real estate business?  Maybe not unheard of, but rare, and that can be said of any business involving sales.  The one question that is almost always answered with at the very least a little bit of "fudge" is, "How's it going?"  Just about any salesperson ...

June 13, 2009 This has nothing to do with real estate.  Nothing to do with Door County, Wisconsin.  Nothing to do with homes, condominiums, vacant land, shore properties, the waters of Green Bay, or any real estate for sale in Door County or anywhere else.  Nothing to do with Egg Harbor, Fish Cre...

April 27th, 2009 IF buying a home or condominium in Door County is one of your goals, why should you do it now?  It is really a no-brainer.  (1) There are sellers motivated to sell.  (2) Interest rates are low and loans are available to qualified buyers.  (3) Values overall have held fast and hav...
