As an experienced Realtor I do list & sell all types of real estate in Washington, Dodge, & Ozaukee and surrounding counties. However, having the interests that I do and living in the heart of the Kettle Moraine I tend to deal a lot more specifically in rural properties, mainly those with 2 to 100 Acres with or without outbuildings. I understand the differences in these properties and when you are looking to find one I will put you on the right track. After a few questions to find out what your needs are I can pretty much narrow down what will and will not work for you and show you the type of properties that you are interested in and fit your needs. I also know how to advertise this type of property to bring in the type of buyers whose needs match the property being sold. Putting together buyers with properties that fit is a must in this market. Many agents will look at features such as a metal building and simply advertise it as a pole barn because, they don’t know the difference between a Pole barn used for storage, a livestock barn setup for horses or other animals and a metal shop building which is heated and insulated and has sufficient power to run a workshop for a business. Acreage is the same to a lot of agents 10, 15, or 30 Acres is just that 10, 15, or 30 Acres. To a buyer it is important to know if it is hunting land, buildable, tillable etc. and to a seller it is important to get that same information to prospective buyers that are looking for a specific type of property.
Why is agent choice so important? In this rather challenging market you defiantly want the experience of a seasoned professional working for you as either a seller or a buyer, someone who has been there and done it. While any agent can sell an average home in a good market or assist you through an average purchase, it often takes a lot more expertise to come to a successful closing in today´s market. Now more than ever Realtors are encountering unexplored territory on a daily basis as a result of a major market slow down and the country´s changing financial landscape. We are experiencing circumstances that are new to everyone involved (Buyers, Sellers Realtors, Banks, Mortgage brokers, and Title Companies) with enough updated regulations, new underwriting guidelines, equity issues, and more to keep everyone on our toes. The ongoing transformations in the housing market require Realtors like me to follow up on new developments like a hawk, so I can communicate the correct information to clients and customers.
A good Realtor right now isn´t just someone who will simply help you sell a property or find a home. They are also well versed consultants like me who understand these issues and are prepared to translate terminology and explain how potential issues may impact you. If you are considering buying or selling let me assist you with your real estate needs. Whether you are an experienced investor or a first time buyer I can work with you at the level of assistance you need to make the right decisions and feel comfortable in your real estate transactions.
