Hiring a listing agent shouldn't be a coin flip with your biggest asset. 👏

Most people pick a listing agent based on what looks good on paper. The sales volume, the years in business, a few solid Google reviews.

None of that tells you how the sale is actually going to go. The agents worth hiring set themselves apart in different ways.

It's in the questions they invite you to ask, the strategy they bring to the table before your home ever hits the MLS, and the way they communicate with you through every step of the sale.

That's what's worth paying attention to when you're choosing who to trust with one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

If you're interviewing agents this year and want someone who'll actually be in it with you, I'd love to chat.

A peek at summer in Keshena, WI for anyone thinking about making the move. ☀️

This is what the season actually looks like around here. Slow mornings on the deck, long evenings on on the boat, weekends enjoying the sunsets and sunrises, and the kind of pace that makes you want to stay a while.

If this is the version of summer you've been picturing for yourself, this might be your sign.

Comment SUMMER and I'll send you the information on this property.

I’ve seen Appleton/Fox Cities homeowners spend $40K on a kitchen remodel and wonder why they didn’t make it back at closing.

Meanwhile, the house down the street spent $400 on a coat of paint, spruced up their yard, and walked away with more.

I've walked through homes where the owner gutted the bathroom before listing and barely broke even.

Then I've seen a $1,500 garage door swap change a buyer's entire first impression before they got to the front door.

The upgrades that move the needle are usually the ones that remove objections.

A well-maintained yard says "this home is cared for."

Fresh neutral paint makes every room feel like a clean slate - fresh, bright, and bigger.
