In a day and an age when we work hard, and I mean really hard, why is it that we have to shake our heads in disbelief, and wonder what it takes to get others on the same page? Hence, there still are times in the real estate market that I see the emergence of the Proverbial Dog and Pony Show. A few examples: 1.) I go and reconfirm my appointment an hour away. "Now I am on my way and it's my intention to list your property. Is that your intention as well?" I get there and no one there. I shake my head. I get a hold of the seller later that day and they say "Something came up, can we make it another time?" No, we cant! Sellers; Real Estate  and real estate agents want nothing more than to see you at a closing for that manner. The first step is to physically be there for your appointment. I... 04/07/2014

Summer is coming up and I can't help but think of a friend that was visiting me last summer and told me they were thirsty.We were walking down a street in Waukesha County Real estate and Lake Country Real estate.. My reply "Why don't you go stick your snout over the bubbler over there and get a cold drink?" Their reply "Okay Tom Braatz, what in the heck is a bubbler?" I went on to explain that in many Waukesha County cities, towns, and villages that water fountains were conveniently placed for people to get a cold drink of water anytime of day they wanted. These fountains are referred to as bubblers.              By definition and sources:                                                                            http://www.bratwurstpages.com/dialect.html Food, Music, and Culture of Wis... 03/27/2014

I sure miss my dog but it doesn't take much to get a grin on my face with some of the precarious things he and I would do. Recently I drove by a dogpark and it got me to thinking and I could not help but laugh and laugh about what a sap I could be at times. It must have been about 2007 in summer and it was hot. Lars and Tom Braatz  went to a dog park in Waukesha County and from watching movies and television shows I heard and seen so much about the comradely between men sitting on benches and woman coming up to them and striking up conversations. "Heck, I'm up for that" I said to myself. Wisconsin has numerous dog parks. When I lived in Ozaukee County there was a dog park called mutland meadows. I only went to that place once. Milwaukee County has some as well.    Dogs socializing; how ... 03/24/2014

Spencer, has it really been 19 years? It seems like yesterday your mom and I brought you home. It's been a road little buddy and we walked a lot of that road together. I know the whole world is ahead of you but do me a favor please? Don't grow up too fast because if it's ok with you I will always think of you as my little man.

February 5, 2014by David Tal Short Sale Myths-Part Two                                    Here is part two, talk to a professional before making your decision.    Myth Number Five:  A short sale will prevent me from qualifying for a new mortgage.   Wrong! You could qualify for a new home loan within just 2-4 years of a short sale; even less if you never fell behind on payments! Comparatively, a foreclosure can ruin your chances of getting a home loan for many more years.   Myth Number Six:  It’s hopeless - short sales take months, even up to a year to complete, so the bank will probably foreclose on me first.   Wrong! New guidelines ensure the short sale process works swiftly. If you have a short sale agent to help streamline the process, you could have your short sale completed in as l... 03/13/2014

Short Sale Myths - Part One January 30, 2014by David TalWhen a property is sold for less than the balance remaining on the mortgage loan, that is called a short sale. A short sale can benefit homeowners in many ways, by helping them get out of an upside-down loan, avoid foreclosure and eliminate their mortgage debt.  Short sales today are also, on average, taking less time to process than before - thanks to tighter regulations and better practices in the industry. However, there are still a lot of misconceptions about short sales floating around out there, and we are tackling eight of them to help homeowners in the market to short sell know what the real deal is!   Myth Number One: I will still be responsible for paying off the total amount of the mortgage after a short sale.   Wrong! I... 03/12/2014

  In my career I have met some pretty amazing people. People that know me know I am a pretty level headed guy. I would rather let you down now than let you down later. I will work my tail off for you but don't cross me. I think being raised by Immigrants from Denmark, my grandparents, had a lot to do with it. You give someone your word you keep it. If you say you are going to do something you do it. I am lucky that in my office I just don't have co workers; they are my friends. I used that same interaction when I owned two of my own companies. I built up a real estate office and holding company and I developed a RE/MAX office and enjoyed the 43 agents that worked for me. WE cared for each other. We helped each other, and they were nothing short of honest, decent, caring people. Today I ... 03/12/2014

There is never a dull moment in Waukesha County Real Estate and Waukesha County Life has always been pretty interesting. Earlier in my life and to this day. I have fond memories of hanging out with my grandfather when I was young.  Saturdays were a ritual; a trip to the dump so the guys could get together and chew the fat, a secret trip over to Dottie's bakery in Stonebank where my grandfather would pick up the donuts and then fly over to the Phillips 66 station in North Lake so he and his friends that had diabetes could eat their jelly donuts, and of course the cheese factory in Mapleton to get a half a brick of cheese. The Waukesha county cheese factories may have diminished but those memories will last for ever for me. I was showing property a bit ago to someone and I made the commen... 03/10/2014

DO I QUALIFY FOR A SHORT SALE? In order to qualify for a short sale, you must show that you are experiencing some kind of financial hardship. For example, if your income has dramatically dropped, or you have lost your job, or you are a few payments late on your mortgage and having trouble keeping up. In other words, if you're on a steady road to foreclosure, then you are very likely a perfect candidate for a short sale. Also, the home must be worth less than the balance of your mortgage. WHAT IS THE SHORT SALE PROCESS? The first step in pursuing a short sale is speaking with a knowledgable short sale agent who can run a home evaluation of your property and determine if you qualify for a short sale. Next, your home will be marketed for sale, and buyers will present you and your agent wit... 03/07/2014
