Germantown, WI

Local Germantown WI Resident and Realtor Celebrates 15 years in business.

Local resident and community volunteer Kevin Nash (aka knash.com) is celebrating his 15 year anniversary helping people move in and out of Germantown and the Metro Milwaukee area.

Originally born in a Chicago suburb, Nash and wife Donna moved to Wisconsin in 1993 where they landed in Kenosha from ’93 to ‘96 where their two children were born. When an opportunity developed for Donna to work at BRIO corp. in Germantown, the family then moved to Germantown in 1997. During that time, Kevin went back to school to get licensed in real estate and in February of 1998 Kevin began working for Coldwell Banker in Menomonee Falls and now works for Shorewest Realtors since 2009.

“From the start, Kevin was passionate about real estate” says Donna Nash, wife to Kevin for almost 23 years. When we began looking for a home back then, something just clicked and he knew that real estate was what he wanted to do. So he interviewed several local companies and has been selling real estate ever since. Kevin has always been a technology geek too. When the industry changed to a more computer based foundation, Kevin was able to lead the way, so well in fact that he has been awarded national service awards every year he has practiced real estate, not an easy task.

“I love real estate”, Nash states emphatically. Sure my hours are weird, nights weekends and in between but I meet a ton of people and I get to see some of the coolest homes around. I provide a service that demands I be there when people need me the most and I try to deliver. Nash also says that because of his flexible schedule he has never missed a single school event, play or activity whcn my kids were small.

The community has also benefited from the efforts of Kevin Nash as a local volunteer. Many organizations, from the Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Germantown and the Historical Society have benefited from his participation. In 2004 he received a citizenship award from the Chamber of Commerce. Kevin can almost always be seen in a parade or just about anything that Germantown has to offer says, Donna. He loves this community. Currently Kevin serves as President Elect of Leadership Germantown, sits on the Ambassador Committee for the Chamber of Commerce and also learned how to play bass guitar for his local church worship band. Kevin feels that this is his kid’s hometown, so he is driven to make it a better place to live for them to return to when the are ready to own a home their own.

Part of my success has been getting to know people and to provide them with enough information so that my clients are comfortable when it comes to signing on the dotted line Nash stated. I've been blessed to find a career that I love and it's my pleasure to serve!

La Chimenea, a great Mexican Restaurant in Germantown Wisconsin

When this restaurant first came to town we wondered why Mexican in a German based community? Well, the answer we unofficially got was because we don't have a Mexican restaurant in Germantown, Ok, works for me. Since then, my wife (Donna) and I have been to La Chimenea many times and tonight we decided to visit again.

We went at 6pm on Friday and although the restaurant was full, we were seated immediately. Immediately is a word I could use frequently as the service was quick, fast and accurate. Upon seating, we were served warm fresh tortilla chips and fresh salsa and dinner was sizzling Steak Fajitas and Shrimp Tequila.

Our meals were fresh, hot and excellent. We both couldn't help but notice how quick the wait and buss staff worked. We never once had to ask for water, coffee or a refill.

Top notch service all the way and If you like Mexican, Donna and I recommend La Chimenea!

This time of year, Ice Dams are a common occurance on some homes. Here is an excellent article on ice dams by Tom Feiza Mr Fix It, a local home inspector in the Milwaukee Metro area.

Ice dams are not a defect in the house, but more so a weather induced condition. With certain style roof lines, gables and valleys, during a warm winter melt, the snow on a roof starts to thaw. Once the sun goes down, and temps drop, the melted water starts to back up under the shingle edges.

Mr Fix Its article explains in depth the causes and solutions. Ice dams can be temporarily solved by putting a nylon stocking filled with snow melt (not rock salt) on the icy gutter. This sausage shaped tube will help melt a groove for the melting water to escape.

A permanent solution can sometimes be achieved with better insulation and ventilation. But sometimes, with tiny attic spaces and limited access, it is almost impossible to change....

Years ago, ice dams didn't occur, due to different building methods when it comes to roofs, sheathing and much steeper pitches. Check out this article to see how you can solve todays issues with ice dams!
