Are You as Excited for Summerfest as We Are?

Summerfest 2017 is almost here. This is what you have to look forward to on the 50th anniversary.

We’re less than a week away from Summerfest, Milwaukee! Are you excited? We know we are, especially since this year marks Summerfest’s 50th anniversary. From June 28th through July 2nd and July 4th through July 9th, Lake Michigan is going to be home to the greatest celebration in the Midwest.

Headliners for this year’s festival include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Luke Bryan, Migos, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Dozens of other top performers will grace the stages as well.

What’s new this year at Summerfest? For one, the Miller Lite Oasis Stage has been redone, complete with a concert viewing deck. Summerfest also has a great app this year through Pepsi, where you can get all the information you could possibly need about the festival, the performers, and the food.

What are you most excited for?

Speaking of food, there are more than 50 new additions to the menu. These include stuffed pasta pizza, waffle nachos, and beer-battered bratwursts on a stick (my personal favorite.) 

Family day is on July 2nd and if you bring in three non-perishable food items, you get a free ticket. 

The Roth Team is also giving away four free tickets to a lucky winner who “likes” our Facebook page. If you already liked our Facebook page, you can also enter by "sharing" this with a family member or friend and let us know. We’ll enter you both.

Can a Home Warranty Help Sell Your House?

Getting a home warranty is absolutely a good idea if you’re a home seller, and here’s why.

Should you use a home warranty to help sell your house? 

Yes, I strongly recommend that you do. Getting a home warranty offers many advantages to a home seller. 

For example, we work with a company out of Madison called Home Security of America. They provide warranties on the sale of used or existing homes just like a builder would on a new construction home. Typically, a builder would cover you for one year after closing, and the same thing applies with Home Security of America’s warranty. 

Getting a home warranty helps sell your house.

Their warranty covers any major problem with the plumbing, the electrical, the heating, the air conditioning, the appliances in the house, etc. The seller also gets free coverage while the home is listed for plumbing, electrical, and the water heater. On a single-family home, the cost for full coverage is typically $564.

The most obvious benefit of getting a home warranty is that it helps sell your home. If your home has a warranty and one of the other properties your prospective buyer is looking at doesn’t, that may sway them to buy yours. Secondly, getting a home warranty provides is peace of mind—not just for the buyer, but for you too. If something goes wrong in the home, it can be fixed or replaced by the warranty company with a nominal deductible. 

If you have any other questions about home warranties or you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, feel free to give us a call. We’d be glad to assist you.
