I have lived in Southwest Wisconsin for over 50 years and appreciate all the Driftless Region has to offer. My entire working career has been spent in banking and real estate and I am currently working as a business banker and CPA, in addition to promoting real estate sales. Over the years I have learned the value of owning real estate as a practical hedge against inflation, as well as, an excellent investment to enjoy. In my estimation there is no better place than Southwest Wisconsin to purchase real estate at a reasonable price. I am ready to assist those who want to own real estate here or locate to this beautiful Driftless area.

I love Wisconsin and believe that our Driftless area may possibly be the most beautiful and wonderful place to live! And whether you are in a car or on a motorcycle, there isn’t anything better than cruising our winding back roads on almost any given day!

Every person is different and so is every real estate transaction. I am very excited to have the opportunity to partner with you in achieving your real estate goals and dreams! Maybe for you that consists of buying your first home, your next home, selling a home, or investing in property.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION REFRESHER Whether it’s the first time you’ve ever sold real estate, or your 5th time, a real estate transaction refresher never hurt! Here are some of the real estate specific terms you’ll want to know.

Real Estate Brokers and Real Estate Agents

Listing agreements are made between real estate brokers and you, the seller. A real estate agent works for the licensed real estate broker. The commission for the sale of your home will be paid to the real estate broker. The real estate broker will pay a split of that commission to the seller and buyer agents where applicable.

The Fair Housing Act

The Fair Housing Act, originally passed in 1968 and amended in 1988, is a federal law in the United States that prohibits discrimination in housing. The following are protected under the Fair Housing Act: Race, Color, Religion, National Origin, Sex, Disability and Family Status.

You can learn more about The Fair Housing Act at www.HUD.gov.

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

The Multiple Listing Service is a proprietary database of all properties currently under an active listing contract in a given area. All active agents and brokers who belong to this MLS will have access to information about your property listing. Buyer’s agents searching for a new home for their clients will learn about your property listing through this online database.

Real Estate Portals

Real estate portal websites like Zillow and Realtor.com are data aggregators on listing information.

The marketing information on your listing will be syndicated to real estate listing portals in order to draw in the largest possible market of interested buyers.

Appraisal

Before you signed your listing contract with me, I offered you a competitive market analysis of your home’s value. We will set the final asking price on your property based on this market value estimate.

When you receive an offer on your home, the buyer’s lender will require an official appraisal of the property from a licensed appraiser. This valuation helps assure the lender that they would own a marketable property if the buyer (or the borrower in the lender’s eyes) should default on their mortgage. The buyer will pay for the house appraisal, but you should know that it may be different than the market analysis that I provided you.

Inspection

In addition to an official appraisal, most interested buyers will request a home inspection before final sale. The goal of a home inspection is to give the buyer an objective, independent and comprehensive analysis of the physical condition of your property and check for any safety issues that might otherwise be unknowable.

A professional inspector will check on the structure, construction and mechanical systems of the house. This usually includes checking: •

Electrical systems

•

Waste disposal

•

Walls

•

Plumbing and waste disposal

•

Pests

•

Floors

•

Water heater

•

Foundation

•

Roof

•

Insulation

•

Doors

•

Radon gas

•

Ventilation

•

Windows

•

Asbestos

•

HVAC system

•

Ceilings

•

Lead paint

•

Water source and quality

Showing Appointments

When an interested buyer is scheduled to see your property, it’s best if you, your family and any pets you may own are not in the property.

Buying a new home is a very emotional process, and it’s sometimes hard for prospective home owners to imagine themselves living in a particular place when the current resident is still inside. I will work with you and the other real estate professionals who will be showing your home to schedule and supervise listing appointments.

These home showings will most likely be an inconvenience for you and your family. I will do everything I can to work with you to minimize the impact, but an aggressive showing schedule will help us sell your property quickly, which is our ultimate goal.

COSTS OF SELLING YOUR HOME Mortgage Balance

This is the remaining balance on your original home loan. You will need to pay off your mortgage in its entirety when your home is sold.

Home Equity Loans (2nd, 3rd Mortgages)

Any loan against the value of your home will also need to be paid in full after the sale of your home.

Prepayment Penalties

The bank or lending institution that currently owns your mortgage title may assess a pre-payment penalty. You should speak to your lender now, ask if they plan on assessing a pre-payment penalty, and figure out exactly how much that amount is. You may be able to negotiate with your lender to reduce or waive the prepayment penalty, if there is any. You’ll also want to submit a formal pre-payment notice to your lender.

Pre-Sale Preparations

In most cases, it’s not advisable to make major investments in your home right before a sale. There are however, a few things that can be done to increase your home’s curb appeal, fix minor problems, and otherwise make your property more attractive. Together we can identify what items should be addressed and create a budget for these pre-sale preparations that are sure to show a significant return on investment.

Closing Costs

All closing costs associated with the sale of your home will be listed for you and for the home buyer in the Closing Disclosure form. The buyer is generally responsible for all of these closing costs, which include: •

The real estate broker commissions

•

Title costs (examination and insurance)

•

Loan fees for the buyer’s home mortgage

•

Legal documents and service fees

•

Insurance premiums

•

Recording/filing fees

In some cases, buyers make a request for you as the seller to cover their closing costs as a part of their purchase offer. We will negotiate these requests if they are made and I will help you understand why it may be advantageous to cover the buyers closing costs (if it is), and what limitations we can set to make sure we know the exact net of your home sale before closing.

Taxes

The money that you make from the sale of your home is considered capital gains. The good news is that these profits can be excluded from your taxable income, up to $250,000 for an individual or $500,000 for a married couple, as long as your home was your principal residence.

To exclude the full portion of those gains, you will need to have lived in your house for at least 24 months in the 5 years previous to the sale date of the property. This is considered the 2 in 5 rule.

If you do not meet the minimum occupancy requirement, you still may be able to exclude a portion of your gains if you are selling your house because of circumstances related to your health or to your job.

You should speak with your accountant or a certified tax specialist if you believe you fall under one of the exclusions or need help in reporting your capital gains after the sale of your home.

If this property is a real estate investment, your profits will be considered taxable income and will be subject to state, federal and self-employment taxes. You can defer all capital gains taxes in a 1031 exchange if you are planning to reinvest the proceeds of your real estate sale into a new property.

Again, in this circumstance, you should speak to a financial specialist who can help you fully understand and minimize your tax liability.

Moving Costs

Moving isn’t only a hassle, it can also be very expensive. Whether you’re moving to a new house in your neighborhood or across the country, it’s important to estimate and plan for the full cost of moving from your home once it is sold.

If you’re working with a moving company, you’ll want to get a full idea of what you’ll be charged for what services. If you’re moving yourself, you’ll most likely need to rent a van. And don’t forget the packing materials including boxes and tape.

The more preparation you do in planning your move, the more likely you are able to avoid overpaying for your move expenses.

SELLING YOUR HOME Location

it is the single greatest factor affecting value. A neighborhood’s desirability is basic to a property’s fair market value.

Competition

Buyers compare your property against others in that neighborhood, and interpret value based on properties available on the market.

Timing

The real estate market may reflect a “buyers” or “sellers” market. Market conditions cannot be manipulated; an individually tailored marketing plan of action must be developed for each property.

Condition

The property condition will affect price and speed of sale. Optimizing physical appearance and advance preparation for marketing maximizes value.

Terms

The more terms available, the larger the market, the quicker the sale and the higher the price. Terms structured to meet your objectives are important to successful marketing.

Price

If the property is not properly priced, a sale may be delayed or even prevented. Reviewing the Comparative Market Analysis assists you in determining the best possible price.

PHASE 1: PLANNING THE SALE

Once you are sure you want to sell, it’s time to choose the CENTURY 21 Affiliated Sales Professional that you feel best represents your interests. One consideration is the listing agreement. There are three types. You will want to choose one that you feel most comfortable with.

Open Listing

This arrangement lets the owner sell the home on their own. However, if a REALTOR brings an able buyer and the owner accepts that buyer’s offer, the owner will pay a fee to the REALTOR. This type of listing is non-exclusive and can be executed simultaneously with more than one broker.

Exclusive Agency Listing

This arrangement is the same as the Open Listing, except the agent will represent the owner.

Exclusive Right-to-Sell Listing

This is the most common arrangement, and gives a broker the exclusive right to earn a commission by representing the owner and bringing in a buyer directly or through another brokerage. The owner pays both the listing and selling broker fees.

PHASE 2: 21 MARKETING OPTIONS Create a Marketing Plan

Much of a CENTURY 21 Affiliated agent’s work is quiet and unseen, though critical for gaining the exposure necessary to get your home in front of prospective buyers. The phone calls, work with contacts, open house arrangements, follow-ups with prospects, conversations with ad responders, web postings and other outreach efforts are all handled by your agent on your behalf.

PHASE 3:

STAGE AND SHOW YOUR HOME The most important part of staging your home is to make sure it is extremely clean, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. Next, it’s time to eliminate extraneous knickknacks and furniture to make rooms and closets seem more spacious. If you have decorated your home with bold colors and patterns, you may consider toning them down to appeal to a broader base of buyers.

All necessary repairs should be made, including those on the exterior of the home. Don’t overlook the impact that your front and backyard will have in your efforts.

Proven tips to make homes most attractive to buyers: 1. Cleanliness 2. De-clutter 3. Neutral paint and décor 4. Curb-appeal

CHECKLIST TO STAGE YOUR HOME FOR A SHOWING

INSIDE •

Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house

•

Clear all unnecessary objects from kitchen counter-tops

•

In the bathroom, remove items from the counter-tops, tubs, shower stalls and commode tops

•

Ensure that the bathroom tubs, tiles, sinks, shower floor and ceiling and toilet bowls are free of mildew and look sparkling clean

•

Rearrange or remove some of the furniture if necessary

•

Remove/rearrange pictures or objects on walls

•

Patch and paint where necessary

•

Review the house inside room by room and paint any room that needs it, clean carpets, drapes, windows, ceilings and chandeliers

•

Make sure the closets and garbages are not “too full”

•

Replace burned out light bulbs and repair any faulty switches

•

Repairs and improvements will facilitate a sale being made

•

Make certain all rooms are odor-free

OUTSIDE •

Go around the perimeter of the house and remove all garbage cans, discard wood scraps, extra building materials etc. into the garbage or trash

•

Check gutters, roof leaks and dry rot

•

Weed and then mulch all planting areas

•

Clear patios and decks of all small items, such as small planters, flowerpots, charcoal, barbecues, toys etc.

•

Check paint condition on the house, especially the front door and trim

•

Review if shutters, shingles, stone or bricks need replacing

•

Check exterior stairs and handrails, walkways, screens, screen doors

COMPLETE THESE TASKS AND YOU’LL BE AHEAD OF MOST OTHER SELLERS!

PHASE 4: NEGOTIATING THE DEAL

When a buyer is ready to make an offer, they will contact you or your agent. All offers should be formally presented with a contract for purchase and sale.

Usually, buyers and sellers want the same thing—to transfer ownership of the home. But the contract negotiation often involves some back and forth between parties. Your CENTURY 21 Affiliated Agent’s expertise and negotiation skills are indispensable at this stage.

As a seller, you can agree to accept or counter the offer. Plus, the price, stipulations and closing date are all negotiable. Once mutually-accepted terms have been reached, your agent will collect a deposit from the buyer as a financial indication of their intent to buy. Actual ownership of the home is not transferred until the closing.
