I have had a great time of self-reflection over these past few months as the real estate market has continued to offer challenges and hardships.  I typically do not deal with the general public – my focus lies with my agents.  I want nothing more and nothing less than the very best for them.  This requires the very best from them.  I watch my agents daily “hit the office” ready to do what is needed for their clients.  I hear them on the phones and review their documentation.  Today is certainly a different day than two years ago.  There is a requisite skill necessary to bring transactions together.  Agents need to be strong, they need to have a backbone to negotiate and they need to be able to deliver results.  At the end of the day, the running, the last-minute showings, the “coming back to the office at 10:15pm, or the trip to the municipality to retrieve documents for the title company”, from an agents perspective, doesn’t matter unless we deliver results. 

We work for the Closing, We work to make your deal come together, We work to deliver RESULTS.  With all of that- we look to work in in such a way that our clients will be so delighted with our service and our efforts that they will pass our name along to those looking to make a move as well.

What I wanted to say today is this – I support some of the best agents in Southeastern Kenosha County at Bear Realty.  They work from sun-up to well past sun down.  They travel from South of the WI/IL borders North to Milwaukee and as far West as Elkhorn and Lake Geneva. (we would go East but that would put us in the Water!  Great Lake Views though!)  This is a wonderful group of people who, if you are looking for someone who will stand up and take YOUR interests in mind – you would want to have on your side.

Andrea Blaziewske / Anthony Nudo - form a solid team that will bring knowledge, residential and commercial experience and a great sense of humor to ease any tensions.  I thank Anthony for his community commitment and the times he answers my questions.  I am grateful for Andrea for always making me smile and keeping the office atmosphere lite!

Joanne Brown – if I had to use one word it would be class but even that does not capture the strength in this great agent.
