It's a cold, snowy day in Wisconsin and I look forward to a change in scenery one day like most do. The snow is beautiful but the icy roads, snow banks, and very cold temperatures lend for a lot of paperwork and scheduling to be done in the beginning of the day. As I put the finishing touches on my goals for 2010 I look back at them and question myself if I can really attain such goals and are they realistic. Pretty monumental changes and adjustments are in order and the time is just ticking away until they happen. The curious notion I tend to look at is the fact that I have refined my business goals to really going back to the basics. It's not so much becoming that more viral connected or how to be in 8 places at once rather than 4, but simplicity is now key. My strength has always bee...

It's Friday today and the thermometer in the car said 2 degrees when I got a late start this morning at 7am. Yesterday morning is was -2 below zero with a windchill of -27 below. It was cold, but there is a beauty that is amazing to the countryside and all surrounding areas. The farms are all layered in snow, along with the trees and brush. The lakes have steam and fog coming of them, and it is very bright in contrast to what some would think is dark and gloomy. My dog Lars tolerates it and he likes to play in the snow. He has the sense to let me know when it gets a little too cold for him. All the stores are decorated for the holidays. In the Waukesha County real estate market it may be cold but the real estate market is hot. www.waukeshacountylife.com           Need more information? ...

 Driving along the beach front looking out at Pewaukee Lake you wouldn't think of the history and activity that existed there at one point. It wasn't too long ago that we could always congregate at Calvanos for a Monday night open music party, at least from what I can recollect. Now all that is gone and there is a magnificent board walk of buildings in the whole streets place. prior to that, it was a simple life and enjoyment, trolley cars, picnics, and eventually an amusement park. That is all gone now and the only thing that is certain in ones eyes is the same magnificent Pewaukee Lake. My grandmother used to tell me that everyone in Waukesha would come out and spend the day and evening at Waukesha beach. The name was conceived by two businessmen that purchased a parcel in 1893. P.J. ...

I am really happy to have some pretty amazing clients and friends in the Waukesha County real estate market, and when they are looking at homes for sale in Brookfield Wisconsin or Waukesha Wisconsin, or even Hartland or Delafield Wisconsin. One that will always stay on the top of my memories is Johanna Marcz. Mrs. Marcz takes her dog "Lucky" for a three mile walk everyday, does water aerobics, is in her seventies, and is one of the most charming ladies I have ever met. Absolute class, and a magnificent human being. I recently had the opportunity to sell some real estate for Johanna Marcz and I look forward to helping her and her wonderful son Robert Marcz in a couple months with another transaction. Funny, some people will always leave a lasting memory on me and they give me a sense of ...

We have a couple days of warm weather, and then we have some that are cold. The nights in Wisconsin are colder, and like anything else in life, cycles take place. I began to think about when I was a Wisconsin bee keeper not too long ago, how much I enjoyed it, and how it was very similar to Waukesha County Real Estate at times. If they have not done it by now a lot of Wisconsin Bee farmers will go out to theircolonies , or have went out to their colonies, and after they clean the colonies, put a large sugar cake in the colony, and put a mite strip in there to protect to the colony, they will wrap the protection around the colony so the bees can get ready for Spring. The Queen will be checked to see how she is doing, the drones and workers as well. The hives with be checked for any pests...

Are you in the market for purchasing some Investment property in Waukesha County, Commercial property in Waukesha County, or acquiring a business through real estate in Waukesha County? There are reasons why one may not purchase real estate in Waukesha County right now, but I keep asking myself why they would not? Multi family property is a deal, there are some great buys in Commercial and Investment real estate in Waukesha County, and if you are thinking about buying a business or even starting a business I would love to talk to you about how the SBA may be able to help you. Like anything else, time will eventually run out on the great deals. Like the sands through an hour glass we will watch that time come and go.

It's times that we experience like these that really make a lot of us take a step back and see businesses, people, and many other avenues suffering because there is no such thing as a smooth ride forever and that picture off riding off into a sunset; well, sometimes it rains on that parade. I must say I am very proud of a lot of my fellow Waukesha County real estate agents. We all adjust for the times and we turn up our commitment to the next level to make sure our clients can get to a successful closing. It does hurt when I walk into a restaurant and the owner after 60 years of the same family says they just cannot hold on anymore. In fact; that rather breaks my heart because the significant other will be right next to the individual with an a amazing smile. Just a testimonial that hap...

It's funny how fast the last 24 years has went by in my real estate career in Waukesha County. When I started there was a little "Boris" dot matrix printer one could look up Waukesha County MLS properties and Milwaukee County MLS properties from. It was a product of the MLS and that was pretty much it. In Wisconsin at that time there was talk about putting a home inspection clause in the offer to purchase, and for the most part the offer was just a couple of pages. Every two week would go by and I would give my printed MLS books, book A (Milwaukee County only) or book B(everywhere else) to some of my motivated customers. If I have lots of people I was working with I would order extra books, or tear out the municipality or area they were looking in. No Internet, just a huge newspaper bil...
