Living Lake Country -- What is Culling?

Lisa Bear Waukesha & SE WI Real Estate  Buyers Agent/Luxury/Lake/REO 2628935555: Real Estate Agent in Oconomowoc, WI

The governor signed the bill at the Golden Mast Inn on Okauchee Lake near Oconomowoc last Friday morning. The bill's author, Republican Rep. Joel Kleefisch of Oconomowoc.

Culling refers to catching a fish, keeping it in a live well and then throwing it back after catching a bigger fish. The practice is illegal in Wisconsin, but the bill creates an exemption for bass tournaments. Kleefisch says the change will draw larger tournaments to the state.

Friends of mine were on hand for the event -Republican Rep. Joel Kleefisch of Oconomowoc, Aaron David and Mike Simonds!

Spring gardening - Home and Curb Appeal

Spring Gardening Tips- Up Your Curbside Appeal

Garden season is here, and though it may be the number one hobby in America, it isn't for sissies. Gardening is touch on the hands, skin and back. Follow the tips outlined below for a welcoming garden that's filled with color!
Every season brings a different set of chores in the garden. Spring is an exciting time for gardeners as preparations are made for the bounty and beauty of the garden as it awakes from winter hibernation. It can also, however, be a bit overwhelming to know how to prioritize your gardening time at this time of year.
Tip #1: Wear long sleeves, pants, a hat, and gloves. And, even though that grass feels great between your toes, closed-toe shoes and sunscreen are a must. Bend and lift with your knees and not your back to ensure you do not injure yourself.
Tip #2: Curb your enthusiasm. Take breaks in the shade, drink lots of water, and periodically slather on the sunscreen.
Tip #3: Even though it is tedious...know the following: Have a plan for your garden, know your soil type, know your cold hardiness zone. Without this information you will waste money, time and effort of purchasing what will grow best. Also note what areas are sunny and which are shady so that you can buy the plants that grow well in those light conditions.
Tip #4: Add a focal point to your landscape to up the curb appeal and add design in your front yard space. Focal points can be anything from a row of flowering shrubs to a stunning tree.
Tip #5: Apply the "1/3 Rule." Purchase three plants, all perfect for your spot, because one will die, one will barely survive, and one will thrive. Plan on it.
Tip #6: Make sure you have all the right tools in order. Send the mower and leaf blower in for servicing. Tie red ribbon onto your hand tools so that you can find them again once they get buried in a pile of leaves or weeds. Take an inventory and make sure you have everything you need before you start a project
Tip #7: Prune trees and shrubs, remove dead, damaged and diseased branches from woody plants, thin and trim summer blooming shrubs, prune cold-damaged wood after plants resume spring growth, trim spring blooming shrubs and trees after flowering....weed, weed, weed...
Tip #8: Fertilize and mulch beds and borders. Spring is also a good time to fertilize fruit trees. If you applied heavy winter mulch for protection from the cold, you will need to clear it away.


Tip #9: Stake plants that may be prone to wind damage during the unpredictable spring weather.
Tip #10: Spring is the best time to start a new lawn from seed. For established lawns, you should start mowing in the spring, but don't initially cut the grass very short for the first few times.
Tip #11: Place a soap dish and towel holder beside the outside water spigot so you can wash your hands, arms, and neck several times a day. And before you crack open that end-of-the-gardening-day beverage, shower like you mean it. Good, old-fashioned soap does wonders for washing away the dirt, poison ivy, and who knows what else.

Of course, whether you start these chores in early, mid, or late spring depends on the climate where you live, taking in to account such factors as when the threat of frost has past or when the ground is thawed enough to dig. I hope these tips will give you a good idea as to where to focus your attention in your garden this spring. Enjoy!









Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#1 of 6)

Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#1 of 6)

The topic today in Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#1 of 6) is finding the right agent to list your home. There are many real estate agents that are all too ready to list your home. There are a number of thoughts you need to entertain when hiring the right one. The first that comes to mind is the number of years they have been actively selling real estate, and do they sell or have they sold enough real estate to have gained lots of experience. The question is to ask them specific questions. I have put together a report entitled "The 19 Questions you must ask a real estate agent BEFORE you list your home". In this report are very specific questions that are to be asked to narrow the selection very fast. This saves lots of possible headaches down the road and lends for a great talk.

The next question would be is to ask and to also see a copy of their action plan and market plan that they use to get your property to the closing table. Not just an offer, but to the closing table. Make no bones about it; good agents receive many offers on a property and the offer that rolls towards a successful closing has work/terms/conditions and deadlines that ALL need to be addressed before a closing is set and the papers are set for that special day.

Never be afraid to ask for referencesand if possible phone numbers to call the references. Since most successful real estate agents plan on building their business the path to a closing, and the follow up after the closing can often set a tone for future business. Granted, this Industry we know as real estate has some road blocks and every so often there are disgruntle people that we should have not worked with in the first place. So out of fairness remember this is a full time job that requires readily available service.

In addition, do not hesitate to ask about references from cooperating brokers and agents. I have written about it before, and I will say it again, I have the sheer luxury of working with some of the best people in Waukesha County Real Estate in the Waukesha County real estate market. As one of the Waukesha County real estate agents in this County I can tell you that I have friends and fellow colleagues in my business that I thank everyday. Stay away from brokers that condemn others or like to hear themselves talk; if the people you are about to hire don't have a great and friendly dispostion to them what is your journey going to bring you to get to the closing table. Feel free to Google finding a waukesha county real estate agent .

One more thought; ask the agent you are about to hire if they have a guarantee. That's right, a guarantee. For example our guarantee says that if "At any time you are not totally delighted and happy with our service and you want to part ways just ask us to withdrawal the listing and we will be happy to. Provided there is not an offer on the property and it is on it's way to closing." This is a proving ground!

There are many more tips I could give you and I welcome a call at 262-893-5555 or an email at waukeshacountyhomes@gmail.com so I may be able to help you with them. If you are in Waukesha County and you need to sell your property within the next 90 days and want a exclusive seller package just feel free to call me. If you need to buy within the next 90 days or so we have our work cut out for us; just call and request the Buyer VIP package. By all means feel free to request the free special report "The 19 Questions you must ask a real estate agent BEFORE you list your home" is a must
