If there is one guaranteed thing about selling real estate, it is that every day is guaranteed to be different from the past day. For example, a couple walks into my office a few weeks ago. They express a desire to own some farmland. Upon questioning them, I was able to learn they wanted an investment and felt the rate of return they could earn renting cropland to a farmer was profitable. Gently, I asked how they determined this to be so? Typically buyer will share much, but these two weren't willing to discuss much and wished only to take a tour out to the countryside and see some corn-ground. Given that they knew exactly what they were in search of; I did ask a few test questions. Like do you know how many bushels of corn are typical in this area per acre? I went on further to explain that maybe 125 bushel was typical, and this particular ground which they protested as to pricey a price... yields around 250 bushels per acre. While this other one over here, well, was very low and one most likely couldn't feed a goat on that one, which shall we see?
Nevertheless, we set off to see some cropland. Now there is not much to look at, as typically this type of land is very flat or rolling and not necessarily scenic. Yield is what you want to look at. If for an investment, that does count. It was a chilly, windy and a wet day, as we arrived at the first farm on our list. We each turned our separate cars onto a dead-end road. As we pulled in, out charges your typical farm dog. This dog was perhaps a year old, looked to be a mixed of Irish Setter and lab, very friendly. In fact he was overly friendly and an overly enthusiastic jumper. Within a few minutes of pulling in my car was quickly covered in muddy paw prints. Immediately, (I'll call him) Mr. Dozer set upon greeting my newly acquired customers as they got out of their car. They were both attired in stylish all black, designer clothing. Dozer was just so very happy to see them; he couldn't help but to lunged up, placing numerous mud-covered prints all over their expensive clothes.
There was no stopping Dozer, since farm dogs typically don't get a lot of company, the dog just kept dashing about in circles then charging full force towards them leaping with paws up and forward! I know that if you want to train a dog to not jump at your chest, you could raise your knee toward the dog as they leap, the dog then is greeted with the blunt end of your knee, which does not hurt them. Then you praise them and try to get the dog to sit down or stand on all four legs. Trying this was to no avail...the only thing that came of this, was the companion of the buyer thought I was, to my surprise, hurting the dog! Shortly after attempting to stop the dog from jumping on them they too jumped... but into their car and headed quickly back to the city. I was left to only guess that they had decided that investing in farmland was not exactly for them.

I would bet most folks have seen classic country mailboxes along rural roadsides. I would bet too, anyone who has ever driven around the rural countryside may have come across that folksy country humor of an airmail mailbox. They are out there, rural pranksters still putting them up thinking they are really cleaver for coming up with that idea. Well today I actually came across something equally clever, it is what one might refer to as an airmail info box.
I'm guessing that the listing agent who installed this info box better have some liability insurance. It's on a blind curve, to access it you would need to be a mountain goat and where to park without getting killed? It is certainly the most inconvenient location for an real estate information box I have ever seen. The last guy who was limber enough to get an info sheet out of this box, left the box open; most likely all the remaining info sheets are all wet. That is, if there are any in there, aren't most always empty?

Open House Sunday 3/8/2009 from 1pm until 3pm

Just two years young this home is better than new because the price is affordable, ready to move into and it has landscaping, a paved drive and has been freshly painted in neutral tones.
With 2012 square feet, this immaculate bi-level home has 3 bedrooms, a large great room with vaulted ceilings and is a "Wisconsin ENERGY STAR certified home". There is a fully finished lower level complete with a spacious family room. That room features a mini kitchenette with a snack bar. The full size windows let in plenty of sunlight light. The 3rd bedroom and a ¾ bath are also located on this level.

So here's the deal... I decided to work on my 2009 budget and my yearly business plan. With my nose deep into my plan; I had to go retrieve a file from our storage area. Upon entering that room, it hit me. The enormous amount files... They plainly have now outgrown the available storage area and are overflowing from the file cabinets, extra cardboard files boxes and in some cases table tops. They needed, again, to be downsized. Begging the unanswered questions... to shred or to burn... in someones wood stove?
That's when I decided that this would be a good time to figure out a new storage solutions and to green up the office a bit. We will be filing with scanned PDF files saved on Cds starting now and a backup on our intranet site for easy access. Gee that ought to do it. Besides, there is no better time for some Green Resolutions than at the start of a new year. So besides solving our storage problem for me, it also turns out that going to Digital Storage just might also help out our planet a little bit.

If it did... this year you are not alone. Record numbers of homes in the past 6 to 8 months, that were 
listed, expired unsold as the housing market experience a melt down across the country. In some cases the Sellers of these unsold homes, still preferred to blame their agent for the home not selling. In truth some agents may be at fault for having poor marketing skills. However more often than not, the real reason was pricing, as sellers had to struggle and come to terms with the reality that home prices were dropping and fast. There are some agents out there that will tell you what you want to hear to get the listing, which that is called "Buying a Listing". Careful selection of an agent is more critical now than ever before. Today homes are in tougher competition and they need to be in tip top condition, you need an agent who specialized in the area your home is in and one who is a skilled marketer that can correctly price your property. If a home is overpriced it will languish unsold on the market and become stale in the buyer's eye.
Not too long ago I lost out on a listing due to price. I also suggested a few cosmetic fixes which also were never done by that seller. I was totally surprised when another agent took that particular listing for over $80,000 more than what I thought was ever possible. Turned out they were not area specialist, had less marketing experience than I have and also had a very limited marketing budget to get the job done. As it happened the home eventually expired unsold. Even thought that seller decided initially to go with another agent they ended up calling me back after their listing period expired. So if you are interested in a straightforward opinion on price and understand that the market is the market; it is not last years market anymore, here are a few suggestions for you... the seller.
Get your home in excellent condition by making sure it is sparkling clean inside and out, neutrally decorated and in good repair. No matter how much marketing and advertising we do, if the home is not priced right and in good condition the Realtor will only be advertising that they have an overpriced Listing. The buyers of today's market will pass it by for that better buy down the block. So carefully listen and try to recognize how your home stacks up to the competing homes that are also for sale. Your home will be judged by buyers who will form their own opinion. No matter how much you might think it is the best home, as it turns out, those buyers who are looking may just pass it by.

Did Mary Succeed With You? Yes, so far out of three properties for sale, she has sold one & we are hoping to sell the other two this year. RE/MAX Hill Country is pursuing very aggressively with the sale of three properties that are hard to sell. Mary is persistent and optimistic in her approach and she is getting results.

Rozanne R. Lone Rock, WI Closed 6/16/06
Did Mary Succeed With You? Yes, much so. This letter is to thank the ladies of RE/MAX Hill Country. We have been working with this agency for a little over a year now. We have had very good results and will have more in the future. They seem to be very professional in the way they take care of not only the Seller, but the Buyers' needs. The sale of our property has created some unusual situations arising during the sale, but these ladies worked them all out. When and if, all the land and home sell and we decide to buy another home, we will go to these ladies to help us as a Buyer and not the Seller.

Did Mary Succeed With You? Yes. I was kept appraised of everything from the get-go. Jean was very willing to work with my plan and succeeded. My house was sold in 6 days - with about a dozen showings. Everything was coordinated and went off without a hitch for the most part. I've worked with Jean before when I found my Mom's house, so I knew who I was dealing with before I made the decision to list with Jean. I'm satisfied.
