Talk about a reverse in temperatures, we had a 60 degree swing in one day. This morning I carved our Re/Max name on the office window. This was on the inside.
Truly in Wisconsin you can have it all, speaking of weather that is, now in regards to real estate we could us a good thaw. We are encouraged that the interest rates are moving downward and that the amount of home on the market in our area have been reduced.
So we will celebrate Christmas, ring in the New Year and get ready to have a great 2009 in home sales.

I live in the land of cows and plows in picturesque Green County Wisconsin. These ladies are truly my neighbors. The road I live on has four active dairy farms on just about a 2 mile stretch. These ladies are both Holsteins (the black & white cows)and Brown Swiss. The Brown Swiss is where we get the chocolate milk from. In my youth we actually rode a very gentel cow named Bossy.
I hope we can have a line-up of clients like these cows at are open houses this next year. I guess the key is to serve food, it works for these ladies.
Care to share any good marketing ideas that worked for you would be greatly appreciated
Scott
Thanks for all the comments about the Snow Day. The kids and I finished the day sledding down our driveway well into the evening and playing "king of the hill". This old guy still rules the hill. Many an attempt was made to take me off the top of the snow castle but to no avail. Any of you agents in the sunshine state right after Christmas please send us in the land of the frozen chosen an early spring.
The real estate market is looking to be not for the faint of heart if you have any great marketing ideas that have worked for you, send them my way. Thank you, Scott
In the busyness of our adult lives it's great to have a reminder every now and again that life isn't just about closing the next deal. This photo of two of my boys having a blast on their improvised sled, reminded me of a scene from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". This in turn made me think how very blessed I am to have a beautiful wife of 26 years and six fantastic children, a roof over our heads and food on the table. Times my be tight in the real estate market but as compared to the majority of the people in this world we truly have a Wonderful Life. The office is closed today because the snow and ice so I plan to revisit the kid in me today, how about you?
This is Steve Kundert, he is the Residential Mortgage Loan Officer at Anchor Bank in Monroe, WI. I asked Steve what he thought was the biggest misconception in banking today as it relates to home purchasing. This is what he had to say.
"One of the biggest misconceptions about banks and home purchasing in today's housing market is the banks are out of money and not providing loans. That's simply not true. The lenders ar AnchorBank work with customers every day to make sure they know how much home they can afford and what the loan process will be. In fact, in some cases low or zero down payments are still available for low-income home buyers.
If you find the right lender and know what you can afford, now is actually a great time to buy, as rates continue to drop to near historic lows. There are many types of loan products available, with long-term fixed rate products being the most popular. A long-term fixed rate loan will give you the security of a fixed monthly payment at an attractive interest rate. Remember, it is important to look for a trusted lender who will give you all of your loan options and then let you choose.
Bundling your banking is another great way to save money. For example, at AnchorBank, we offer free checking to customers with a home loan." Steve's phone number is 608-325-7161
So there you have it, money is available and home selection is great so why don't you give me a call today and let me help you find your Dream Home. Scott Larson 608-214-9844 or on the web at greencountyhomeguide.com

As a people person, I strive for a high level of personal customer service and satisfaction by implementing my negotiating skills and my knowledge of Real Estate. I enjoy getting to know my clients and their individual needs as well as making sure they are represented completely. Therefore, clients feel comfortable and confident when working with me.
As we are all aware, technology is changing rapidly. In today's market, an agent with the right tools is a necessity. I take pride in my internet presence, allowing visibility to clients outside the local area and ability to provide individual features for my clients.
When buying or selling a home, many details need to fall into place. Appropriate steps must be taken properly and promptly. You can enjoy this exciting time instead of worrying or dealing with the stress or details of your housing transactions.
I believe sound advice, personality, experience and genuine care for my clients are what set me apart as well as the reason I receive referrals from satisfied home owners. I do not consider what I do as merely sales, but rather think of it as private representation, counseling, advocacy and doing my part to help people achieve the "American Dream."
The process of buying or selling a home does not always fall between the hours of 9-5 when your work and family may keep your busy. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. For your convenience, I have a courtesy moving truck available to help you transport your treasures to your new home. I make a donation to the Children's Miracle Network for every home I sell. 
I look forward to hearing from you soon and working with you in the future to find or sell your home.

Dear Scott,
I would like to take a few minutes to thank you for everything you did for me in the sale of my home. Looking back, I can’t believe I even considered selling it myself and trying to do all of this on my own. And, based on my past experience with realtors, it is so easy to recommend you above any other! You went above and beyond in working for me, and I can’t say enough good things about this experience because of you! Thank you!
With the market being so tough these days, I have to admit, I was truly concerned about how this would go. But, everything you have done, including your marketing approach, your calling prospective buyers, your recommendations of what to do on my end, your explanations and patience in answering all of my questions, as well as your knowledge, professionalism, and accessibility, have made all the difference. I never imagined I would sell my house in just 3 days, let alone get what I wanted for it!! Thank you!
I have already recommended you, many times, and will continue to do so, to every single person I talk with even considering buying or selling a property. Please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone trying to make that tough choice of choosing a Realtor. Not only do I know what an overwhelming choice it can be, but I also now know first hand what a difference choosing the right one makes. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kelly King

Scott,
Beth and I wish to express our sincerest gratitude for your assistance in selling our home. We couldn’t believe we received and accepted an offer within 3 days of listing with you! This is even more amazing given the very tough housing market for sellers. We knew when we compared your proposal to other Realtors that your plan would be most successful. The quick sale proves you were the right man for the job.
Thanks again for all your hard work in helping us complete this sale.
Sincerely,
Mike and Beth Figi

We want to thank Towne Square Realty and especially Scott Larson for his help in our recent move. I cannot believe that you were able to find us a new home and sell our existing home all in less than 2 months. Scott, you did a great job explaining everything and helping with all of the details involved in both transactions. We appreciate your help and a job well done. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Al & Sharlene Zuhlke
