You are not alone!! Short Sale?

More and more, we are coming across people who are in this situation.

Many have had a change in situation: job, divorce, illness and just can not make the payments.

and because home prices have stopped spiralling upwards, they are also what is called upside down in their home, meaning that there is more loan than home and there will be nothing after costs of selling to pay off the complete loan.

Add to this, the unability to pay the existing loan and you have foreclosure looming. We know that this creates untold levels of stress. Which can permeate all aspcts of an affected family.

We also know that there is a way out. We can help. It starts with a free consultation. Often it is as simple as a phone call to us. 608 661 7022.

Question,

If we are in a buyers market, why are buyers doing everything but buying?

ie they seem to be waiting for the "Bottom" ie trying to time the market.

Here's news for you. You can not time the market. Not Real Estate, not any market.

WHY?

Because by the time you realize the market is bottomed out it is on the way up. And this moves quickly.

Play this game with a friend. Put a finger in the air pull it down and then move it up in a smooth curve. Challenge a friend to stop you when they think your finger is at the bottom. What do you see? The finger is always well into the upward stroke, which is when you would be buying if you were timing the market. In fact, you might decide oyu had missed the market and decide to wait again.

TRUTH.

You can not time the market. The time will find you.

I promise you that Real Estate is a good market. If you buy now, and hold for a minimum of 5 years, you will enjoy great appreciation.

EVP Coffee, Madison Wisconsin,

I was out and about in Madison Wisconsin today, had a spare hour so i stopped in at a new (to me) Coffee shop.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see a spacious yet quiet and comfortable place. It was busy and I soon found out why. The coffee is strong, much more so that the run of the mill shop. So much so that the coffee tender, Paul offered to dilute it. It was very nice. Apparently they Roast their own beans on the East Madison location.

I decided to head to an outside sitting area where my phone calls would be less annoying. (note to self - do this again because I get more calls done!!)

I found that EVP has 4 Madison locations and is a real progressive employer, that they don't hire many people because employees don't leave, they are well paid and well treated.

EVP's bright service area

As Paul said "they don't think of the owner as a boss."

Expect me to return often for my calls, I love to support the local stores who treat their employees right.

Real Estate Guy still pushing the boundaries of traditional Real Estate

For so long, Real Estate has been considered the realm of individual agents all doing their own thing. Many companies discourage any type of practice out side of this model. Prefereing to keep agents separate because it is better for the company's bottom line.

However Keller Williams does not only encourage this, it has a training and coaching program to promote the growth of teams. The philosophy from the company is if we help agents to grow and become successful then our the company will grow. (It seems to be working because since I joined KW in 2002, agent # has jumped from 12,000 to just shy of 80,000.

Over these years I have become immersed in the Keller Williams culture, systems and trainings, having gone to Austin about 6 times, Minneapolis, Chicago and Vegas 3 times each, New Orleans, Atlanta, for their first class trainings. This is in addition to the many local trainings that are held each week.

I have take the systems and trainings to heart to become, I am proud to say, one of the better practitioners in the field. That is the field of Resale homes in the Madison area.

1) I have created a team of specialists, each member chosen for the required strengths.

2) They have been trained and work repeatedly on their specialists.

3) We are striving to pickup more listings, more listings more buyers to cross sell.

4) Better technology. to bring in more buyers.
