🏡 Selling a home with a septic system in Northern Wisconsin?
If your property runs on a private septic system (POWTS) instead of municipal sewer, there's a layer of paperwork most sellers don't think about until they're already under contract.
Our newest blog post breaks it down:
✅ What Wisconsin's SPS 383 rules actually require
✅ The 3-year inspection cycle
✅ Why every county runs its own program (Ashland, Bayfield, and Douglas all differ)
✅ The documentation you'll want ready before you list
The good news? A septic system isn't a dealbreaker. Sellers who get ahead of it close more smoothly than those who wait for a buyer's inspection to surface a problem.

🐾 Someone had to inspect the new website. Chico volunteered.

After months of hard work, visionsfirstrealty.com is officially live — and our Chief Morale Officer gave it his full approval (he required a treat for his efforts).

We redesigned the whole thing from the ground up: easier listing searches, dedicated pages for the communities where we live and love — Washburn, Bayfield, Ashland, Iron River, and more — and a whole lot of Northern Wisconsin personality.
