With a volatile stock market it seems like a somewhat risky proposition to invest in. I am sure there is money to be made but at the same time you might not know who to turn to for good advice. At this point I don't know anyone that can predict what will happen.


It is true that any investment has inherent risk. There has been much speculation about the future of Real Estate. Some would argue that with prices down it seems crazy to invest right now. But there couldn't be a better time! In fact the prices combined with historically low interest rates means you can get one of the best deals ever.


I can show you how to take lower priced homes and turn them into great rental income. Even if you have never thought of yourself as a property manager I can show you easy solutions for any of the obstacles you might have. Once the market turns around it could be a very long time before we ever see prices like these. You might never see a chance like this again.

When you are first starting to search for homes you probably started that search on the Internet. Almost every website that is connected to our local MLS lets you search for listings in our area but one thing to understand is that it is certainly easy to do, but the data is sometimes difficult to manage. One of the problems that comes about is when Agents try to list the home and it falls on the border of a certain area. You see our MLS is set up for a variety of different areas, the city of Eau Claire is actually divided into parts, North, South and West. You can already see the problem since there isn't an East, now the Agent has to decide what area to put the home into. Is it on the North or South or is it on the border of Altoona? What if its in Altoona but Eau Claire schools? Sometimes a home is in another county such as Chippewa but still in Eau Claire schools! If that isn't confusing I don't know what is. The point is that without knowing all these different subtleties, sometimes it can be very difficult to know for sure that you have a complete list of homes available to choose from. Thats why I set up each one of my clients with a personalized search that helps to ensure that we see every listing that is available. The moment a new listing comes on to the market we both get an email. I am very skilled at setting these searches up and manipulating the results. I am aware of all the nuances involved and try to avoid not seeing a listing.

When you start looking for a new home it only makes sense to start with a complete list of what's available. While almost every website will let you search for local listings as long as it is connected to the MLS system, being able to manipulate the data is the difficult part. Sure you can enter in a price range and try to narrow down the list but what if the price changes? Will you know? Thats why I try to set up all my clients with an automated search specifically set up for them. The moment a new listing changes price or comes onto the market that matches the criteria we set, you are notified instantly by email! What better way to stay on top of things? This puts you at a distinct advantage and isn't that whats important?

Today technology is perhaps the single, most important aspect of Real Estate. We look at listings online and can get a feel for the house without even leaving our homes or offices. On top of that the majority of people looking for homes today start their search online. One of the newest ways to stay on top of new listings is to have me set up an automated search for you. What this does is email you the moment a new listing comes on the market. This means you can be the first person to take a look at new listings which puts you a step ahead of the competition. Setting this up is easy and only takes a few minutes but it can be the most important part of the search process.

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Black Friday

Almost everyone was excited as Black Friday came and then just as fast, faded away. I am sure many people spent quite a lot of time and money. But how many people went shopping without a plan? It would probably be unheard of to just go randomly from store to store hoping to catch a deal without doing your homework first to know where you can find the best deals.


Why should Real Estate be any different?


Working without an Agent is like going into Black Friday with no plan.


Let's make plans together and find the best values before we just go look at houses randomly. I can set you up with a personalized search to make sure that we find the best home that fits your needs.
