Happrysary! Annive
Do you know someone who would be a great fit for our Realty Executives Family? Let us know!
Jim & Jill Geracie 25 YEARS
I vividly remember the day that Tom Verette called me to say, “Jim Geracie just left Re/Max Realty 100 to join my RealtyExecutivesofceinWaukesha, this is big news!" Tom was right! Jim was well known and highly respected, and his move was a major blessing for our Realty Executives brand. Jim conducted a weekly radio show, “Talking Real Estate with Jim Geracie” which was very popular in those days. It seemed like everyone knew Jim, and Jimknewrealestate.Twenty-veyears later Jim has formed a dynamic team, partners with his lovely wife Jill, and together they both continue to impact our business for the better. With Jill by his side, the Geracie’s connection with Realty Executives continues to give our Brand recognition and credibility, both locally and internationally. More than anything, Jim & Jill impress by their willingness to share everything they know, openly and completely, for thebenetofallofuswhocallRealty Executives Integrity their home. Happy Anniversary Jim & Jill, we are excited to celebrate YOU this month!

Featured on The Gundrum Group the Cover
When you put e C darburg and real estate in the same sentence, of course the Gundrum Group comes into the conversation! With over two decades of combined real estate experience, Bonnie and Ryan Gundrum have anchored their real estate business in the Ozaukee o C unty market. With a passion for supporting small business owners, Bonnie and Ryan have grown their presence and sales through “Local Business Spotlights” by highlighting the many “Ma and Pa” shops e C darburg is synods for.
“I love when we dig deep into our community, to extend are community architects, helping to build strong and in e C darburg, both in the real estate market and as a fellow small business owner will be felt for generations.” This community focused philosophy is the root of their success. Having served the needs of her clients for over 20 years, Bonnie set out to prove that the “family that Group was established after Ryan joined his mom in her successful real estate business and it’s been full steam ahead ever since.
Dedicated
CommunityMinded Thoughtful Driven
Caring
Creative
Some of my favorite days are when the “littles in our life" Dad or hanging with Grandma, family is ALWAYS the focus for Bonnie and Ryan. For this mother/son team, that mindset directly translates into the experience they provide to their clients. Knowing the importance of home, Bonnie and Ryan work tirelessly help their clients successfully reach their real estate goals.

~ Rebecca Daul-Vasquez
ONE OF MANY INSIGHTS FROM THE MARCH MASTERMIND: Get really connected in the business and take the time to call the agents from each offer. No matter how stressed you are, remain as professional and friendly as possible. Express that your clients would love feedback and/or a counter offer, as they are very interested. Listing agents are more likely to open some sort of dialogue that may guide the offer on track to becoming the winning offer. Hone Your Skills –
