#1 Commit to the Sale What is motivating you to consider selling your home? There are a lot of buyers looking for homes. They read newspaper articles, research the Real Estate Market online, watch television reports, receive advice from their parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, lender, friends, financial advisor, doctor, dentist, lawyer... and the list goes on. If you decide you want to sell your home, you must commit to preparing your home, and yourself, to enter the Real Estate Market.
#2 Prepare Your Plan Timing is a key ingredient to a successful transition from your current home to your next home. Life changes, whether you are a growing family in need of more room, or a senior looking to downsize, or dozens of situations in between, an experienced REALTOR can help.
#3 Consult an Experienced REALTOR How many transactions has your agent been involved within the past year? This Market is challenging in itself, sellers don't need to educate an inexperienced agent at the seller's expense.
#4 Interview 2 or 3 Experienced REALTORS Get a Free Comparable Market Analysis from at least 2 REALTORS, if the difference in the Recommended List Price is more than 5%, contact a 3rd REALTOR. Ask for recommendations to Stage your home for the sale. Prepare your home to show.
#5 PRICE IS KING!! Don't be swayed by an agent looking to "buy" the listing by overpricing your home, they know if your motivation to sell is strong, they can beat you down on the price later. PAY ATTENTION TO THE MARKET ANALYSIS done by the Experienced REALTORS. An overpriced listing will take longer to sell, and you will end up chasing the market downwards.
#6 Declutter, Clean, De-Personalize Stage your home to maximize its saleability. If you are not sure what to do, consult your REALTOR or consider hiring a Staging Professional.
#7 Ready? Is Your REALTOR Ready? What is your Marketing Plan? Don't be mislead by too much glossy promotional material in the Marketing Plan. Nearly 80% of buyers begin their search for a home on the Internet. Is your agent connected?
#8 Cooperate with Showings Selling a home is nearly as stressful as buying a home. Make your home available for showings on short notice. Maybe it's an inconvenience, but accommodate the buyers as much as possible.
#9 You Have an Offer!! Put away the emotion, save it for the move. Look at the overall picture and the benefits of the offer. Keep in mind MARKET VALUE. Your REALTOR will fully explain the details of the offer and should prepare an Estimated Seller's Closing Statement. Make an informed decision.
#10 REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL! (LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION) THE RACINE, WISCONSIN REAL ESTATE MARKET IS ALIVE AND WELL. IT WAS BETTER IN 2004-2006, BUT IT IS STILL VERY ACTIVE. IF YOU DECIDE TO SELL, MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS.
Reefpoint Marina on the western shore of Lake Michigan in Racine, Wisconsin has a little bit different look in January. (Still very beautiful)
It still has quite a few customers.
The 2008 season is near, we hope!

Racine has an absolutely beautiful Library in a world class setting, overlooking General Pershing Park and Lake Michigan. I believe it was built around 1960, with an addition in the 1990's, replaced an outdated, but beautiful Library Building that was built in 1903-1904 with an endowment from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation.
Outstanding programs for everyone from pre-schoolers to Senior citizens are offered on a regular basis. Program schedules are available at www.cityofracine.org.
The old Library is located one block west of the current library and houses the Racine Historical Society.
Wonderful exhibits about Racine's World Class Companies such as Horlick's Malted Milk Co., S.C. Johnson & Son, Mitchell Wagon & Motor Car Co., Jacobsen Manufacturing, In-Sink-Erator, Modine, and many others are featured.
These buildings are located on the southside of Racine's Historic Downtown, with several Frank Lloyd Wright originals within walking distance.
Specializing in Racine, Wi, residential properties, resale and new. I also have extensive knowledge and experience with our beautiful, Downtown properties on Lake Michigan. 25 years Experience! Try Me
My name is Dan Gobis. I was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin, on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan. I received my Real Estate Broker License in 1982. I worked in Racine in 1983-1984, then my wife and I moved to Austin, Texas where I worked for Randy Morine Properties, one of the largest custom home builders in Austin at the time. The Austin market became slow starting in 1987 and in 1988 we moved back to Racine, Wi and have been here ever since. I joined RE/MAX in 1989, left in 1996 to be Sales Manager at another local franchise, then came back to RE/MAX in 2001 and business has been growing ever since. I really enjoy the Real Estate Business and the challenges it presents. Finding solutions to people's everchanging situations is very rewarding. * Licensed Wisconsin Real Estate Broker since 1982.

* Received Certified Residential Specialist Designation (CRS)
* Past Director Racine Board of REALTORS
