Today we are going to talk about why you should consider hiring a professional agent in 2016 if you plan on selling your home. We’ve got 5 different reasons to share with you, and as you will see, hiring a professional for this task makes a huge difference.

1. Experience
Experience counts and experience matters. Having experience helps you understand all the little things that may come up during a transaction.

2. Exposure
Real estate agents have contacts through centers of influence, past clients, networks of relocation buyers, active marketing, and more to help us keep in contact with a large amount of buyers and sellers. We try to match up those buyers and sellers to get a great deal done.

3. Paperwork
There is a lot of it, and we are a highly regulated industry. We will fill out all of the mountains of paperwork clearly and correctly.

4. Pricing
There is a fine line between understanding how to get the best value out of your home and making sure it actually sells. We want to find that sweet spot.

5. Negotiations
We can be a buffer in negotiations through the entire transaction, to make sure the deal actually happens. We can often negotiate better than you would be able to on your own.

If you’re thinking about selling, or if you have any questions for us, don't hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We can’t wait to hear from you!

A lot of clients ask me about the upsides of owning a home. For one, monthly mortgage payments are often far cheaper than monthly rental payments. Plus, when you rent, you're really just throwing your money away every month. If you owned a home, those payments would be going towards paying back the home loan, which is a direct investment in your future.


When you own a home you can also live as you see fit. You can decorate your home the way you want, have as many pets as you want, and paint the rooms like you want. You do have to accept the responsibility of maintaining a home, but that's just part of being a homeowner.

Personally, I would always recommend buying over renting. This will depend on a few things, but buying a home is almost always the better option if you have the finances for it.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you!

The new year is in full swing, so today we wanted to give you a quick market update for the Milwaukee area. In a recent article in The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, we saw some great numbers: both home sales and the average price of a home sale are on the rise.

Overall, in the Milwaukee metro area, home sales increased by 14% increase from January 2015 to January 2016. That’s a total of 933 homes sold in January this year, compared to 820 sold last January. Some counties saw an even greater increase, as Washington County saw a 24.7% increase in sales. This big increase has a lot to do with the mild weather we’ve been seeing this winter, along with the currently low mortgage rates.




The average sales price in Milwaukee also saw a considerable increase from last year, with a 7.1% increase throughout the metro area. Washington County saw an 8.7% increase and Ozaukee County saw a 4.2% increase.

Right now, we are experiencing one of the lowest inventory levels we’ve had in the last 5 years. If you’ve been thinking of selling, you want to get your home on the market earlier than the spring. If you have any questions for us, we would love to help you out. Acting soon is of great importance whether you are thinking of buying or selling. We would love to hear from you!
