"We had been contemplating a move from our home for a couple of years, but were not ready to sell until just this past summer.  Throughout that time, Kris stayed in contact with us and always demonstrated courteousness, sensitivity, and a professionalism that is rarely found today.  Kris acted swiftly when we felt ready to put our home on the market.  Within days we were having regular showings, almost on a daily basis, and our house SOLD in just two months!  All the while, Kris kept in communication with us, as well as the other parties involved.  She never missed a beat, and always was friendly and organized.  We will never forget the helpful and amazing service we had with Kris Johnston.  THANKS KRIS!!!"  Maria Perez Oberbruner     PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY GIVE BACK PROGRAM, WHERE I M...

As I was coming out of my Re/Max office in Waukesha County this morning; heading for my appointment in Waukesha, I got a call from my buyer. She asked me "Tom Braatz, when we were talking yesterday, I got the impression you knew Waukesha and the City of Waukesha very well." "I certainly do; I know every street in that city, most restaurants, and I have had to good fortune of making lots of friends helping people find homes for sale in Waukesha. I also have had the luxury of selling a home in Waukesha for clients." I got off that call and I started to reminisce about how the City of Waukesha has grown but has maintained this wonderful charm to it. Waukesha has many famous residents, and has had many famous residences. One of them is Les Paul. Les Paul is better known as forever changing ...

Well, it's that time of year again. Perhaps I will put a little gray shadow or liner on my dog Lars and parade him around the neighborhood as a vampire. I must admit he looks pretty dapper in a cape and those majestic ears of his. My son will hide all of his peanut butter cups so his Dad's OCD of eating those blasted little things won't send him into a diabetic coma. Doorbells ringing, and all those little kids saying "trick or treat" or "Happy Halloween" in Waukesha County. Happy Halloween to everyone in the Waukesha County real estate market; see the bottom of this post for a schedule of scheduled times for kids for trick or treat times in Waukesha County, Wisconsin.   Tom Braatz              Looking for Waukesha County real estate agents?

      Each Thanksgiving, I send a special hand written note of thanks to my cilents of that current year.  I think it is important to stop and simply take a moment to let them know I appreciated their loyalty and faith in me.  I am proud to keep in contact with all my clients, and letting them know their business is important to me (and future referrals too of course!) is such an easy, but essential, part of my ongoing marketing efforts.   Of course, I also thank each client at the end of the real estate transaction, with another personal note, closing gift, and a contribution in their name to an animal shelter or rescue group of their choice.  Even in these hard times, it is crucial more than ever to let clients/customers know that their business is appreciated.   What do you do to gi...

Once in awhile I find myself saying "I wish I would have had a crystal ball", then again I often find myself asking why things get the way they do. Perhaps there is no rhyme to a lot of reasoning. I sit back and can think of many reasons and come up with many ideas of why the world has got itself in such a fast paced time. It dawns on me after a pretty good illness lately that I am not a spring chicken anymore. There is an old saying that "if the airplane industry had grown as fast as the electronic industry we would have been on the moon the day after the Wright brothers flew their plane"; hard to conceive but how bitterly profound and true. When I started in this business known as the Waukesha County Real Estate market little did I know that I would absolutely fall in love with what I...

This morning I was getting ready for an appointment and looked out my office window only to see that it was indeed snowing to beat the band. Summers over, fall was short, although there is more left, and it's already snowing. It was really coming down there for awhile. Very peaceful looking; there are many things that can make one feel peaceful and a first snow can be one of them. Truly more pleasant than watching cows walk into the barn. All the bubblers have been removed from streets and the anticipation of what to come is right around the corner. Snow is beautiful but snow storms in Wisconsin and the Waukesha County real estate market can often be harder on a person than eighteen miles of dirt road. Winters coming along with the cold temperatures and lots of freezingweather. Just as ...
