Careful the first step is a doozy!!!
Because of Monroe's StreetScaping construction in front of the Re/Max office I suggest that you call me first before venturing to the office. We do have an alternate entrance in the rear of our office. It is best accessed by parking in the city parking ramp and then look for the door with the Re/Max balloon on it for entry. call me at 608-214-9844 for the latest . Thank You for your patience.

When walking through the home you are thinking of buying for the first time, whether it's brand new or used, here are a few things to check.
Drywall - Make sure you check this well. Look for uneven bumps and texture; tape joints should not be visible. Look for marks made by doors
Paint - When checking the paint look for uneven coloring and chips caused during construction. Make sure your baseboard does not have and wall paint on it as well as wood handrails, counter tops, tubs, cabinets... etc. Look for any stains in the paint, especially on ceilings – this can be an indication of water damage.
Baseboard - Baseboard is located at the bottom on the walls and surface of the floors. Check for damage such as scrapes or cuts in the baseboard that is often caused during carpet installation. Make sure it is painted accurately and that all nails have been puttied so as to not be visible.
Light Fixture Locations - This is more common than one may realize and, unfortunately, not caught on many walk-thrus. Where ever there is light fixture, check to make sure cabinets and doors do not hit it when opening. Check to make sure all light fixtures are in the correct location and height. For instance, your dining room table, if too high or low it will not look good, the same is true if the fixture is not correctly centered.
Carpet - When checking your carpet look for stains that may indicate flooding may have. Check for stains caused by excessive amounts of traffic or pets accidents. Make sure the carpet is all going in the right direction and that there are no gaps between baseboard and carpet. You may also want to check closets to make sure the carpet was completely installed and that no corners were cut.
Roofing - Check for broken, missing or discolored shingles. Check the gutters for excessive granules from the shingles. All vents and chimneys should be caulked.
Windows - Make sure they are sealed well. Check for cracks and moisture between panels and by sliders. Look for any stains on the window sills. This may be an indication that the windows were not sealed correctly, and, in cold weather, the windows may “sweat” on the inside.
Doors - All doors should be painted on all sides and there should be no obvious drips. Open and close doors to check for correct adjustment and alignment. Make sure all door knobs and locks are working correctly.
Tile - Check for uneven, loose, chipped or cracked tiles especially in corners where is can easily be disguised. Make sure grout is to your liking or within industry standards. Also check for cracks in the grout, which may be an indication that the tile was not laid properly, or that the floor is uneven.
Tubs - Look for cracks and make sure it is sealed correctly. If a jet tub, make sure it works. Look for mold along the top edge of the tub or shower. This may be an indication of poor cleaning habits, or, of poor ventilation.
Appliances - Examine the appliances and make sure they work, turn them on. The same thing goes for the gas, electricity, plumbing, garbage disposal and water. With the water, run 2-3 different faucets at a time and see if the pipes make any noise. These should all be tested.
Warranty - Try to get complete information regarding warranty information on appliances and the house itself. Ask for a Home Warranty from the seller in the Offer to Purchase.

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

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.
