Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#5 of 6)
Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#5-6)
In this installment of Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#5-6) we will talk about the need to find a Waukesha County Real Estate agent that is very well connected; a support system and company, an active Internet presence, and the use of technology in in
their business. I would be pretty fair and correct in saying that you could get any Waukesha County real estate agent to tell you they can get the job done, but there are many factors that can help you make a better and more informed decision about selecting the agent that can get the property listed,
find you the right property, and get you to a successful closing with everything all addressed and followed in a correct manner. I have plenty of friends that own their own company and they do amazingly well.While there are a number of fine offices and companies located in Waukesha County, Real Estate offices in Waukesha County differ and there is a difference. I work for Re/Max. Re/Max advertises on TV very regularly, has a great support system in giving their associates instant referrals, and the on-line technology including Mainstreet is outstanding; every tool is put in front of you to help you. Some companies talk about it but really never do anything
more than pull other technology from the Internet. Why shouldn't they? I do the same as well, but for the sake of a company, Re/Max has many offices in Waukesha County that are physical offices that have people in them and working for the associates everyday. Re/Max also has over 150,000 associates in it's system and our office has profit sharing as well. Great support for associates but the public benefits from the tools that the associates have at their hands. Not only does the associate have their own Re/Max site with all the technology to get the job done, but the associates have other websites and more that can really add to the equation. Dave
Liniger, the founder of Re/Max is a great man as well; he owns his own charitable golf courses, and Re/Max is also the sponsor of The Childrens Miriacle Network which has been amazing help to many children. It doesn't matter to me what company you are with but I do applaud anyone that puts kids first, and helps them.Further, the associate should have a good understanding of viral marketing and social avenues and networking that can benefit their business, and
ultimately the consumer as well. I enjoy blogging but the benefits of blogging reach many different angles in social networking and blogging. I am able to be out in front of my listings, the public can reach me and see me in a more visible light, and they can also get to know the agent behind the articles and posts by following them. Hence, get an idea of what they are like. I also like the idea that I can network with other great sources such as www.facebook.com/lisabear, www.linkedin.com/in/lisabear www.twitter.com/RealEstateinWis and lots more. It increases my awareness and I am able to import the same posts automatically to many so I can increase my audience. More
exposure, more Google juice, and more applications to benefit my business and benefit my customers and clients. My website resources and avenues are crucial to my business. The days of spending thousands of dollars a month and getting less results by spending that kind of money are over. Now the trade off is time and effective using my skills to bring my business out in front for a fraction of what it used to cost.
Being connected is important in means of our Industry as well. When an agent needs an immediate endorsement from their title company, a copy of an inspection report emailed again, a city letter and planning decision sent to an attorney, a phase one study performed on a property, a underground storage tank removed, and so on, the agent that is connected and has a system built around them and talented people to help them with their business, is the agent that can pull in all the pieces and
connect the dots a lot faster. recently we needed an underground storage tank removed and it was in a very challenging location. In addition to the tank we suspected that the property may involve more than a phase one environmental study. because we have been using the same reliable people for many of projects for years and we knew we could count on them 
to step up to the plate and get the job done. Having attorneys that own title companies is a great help. A couple title companies we use have attorneys that own them and we have the luxury of bouncing off questions and scenarios to them that gets us a step ahead of the game.With all the technology and Internet at an agents fingers it wont mean a hill of beans unless the Waukesha County Real Estate agent can close.
Having great phone skills and talent is paramount. I have had the luxury of helping agents and brokers with their phone skills. It seems that even to this day that there are those that are afraid to pick up the phone and 
prospect. I ask them why is it that if a relative, friend, or spouse starts to bark at you, vent, or give you their two cents worth it falls on deaf ears and does not bother you, but a complete stranger on the other end of a phone is enough to shatter your day and frightens you.? It's because the agent needs to accept the rejection in a different means and realize the phone and it's applications can really be your best friend. Further, it's been proven that an agent that has an accountability partner or coach can become more focused and accomplish more. An agent has to overcome many obstacles and be able to work through much and realize some people can be different.Have a productive day and we will see you at closing!

Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#4 of 6)
Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#4 of 6)
In this installment of Lisa Bear, How do I find the right real estate agent in Waukesha County? Series (#4 of 6) we will talk about Waukesha County real estate agents specializing in different areas of the real
estate Industry. This might seem very interesting to note that I see many Waukesha County real estate agents taking on different projects but I also know many that have a certain niche they have developed.
There are those that I know which their niches make them strong.I know some people that work primarily on short sales. It requires a lot of time but because they have it down they make their numbers work. Then again I know agents that do nothing but land development and subdivisions. Again, these agents sell other avenues of real estate but they have a great knowledge of land, planning, and other obstacles that allow them to maneuver quicker through bureaucracy.
I have traveled down just about every avenue in real estate, but for the most part we like the homes because it allows us the interaction with all types of wonderful people, and it is also bread and butter. My
strengths are also in Waukesha County Investment property and Waukesha County multi families, complexes of units and strip malls and commercial buildings, and I always like
the challenge that goes along with businesses being set up and put into a building that matches the buyers needs. Residential is our bread and butter but commercial is what I sought out to be trained in and have a tendency to dive into and get fully immersed.I have friends that all they do is leasing. They are great at it. The good thing about some leasing is you may have a buyer down the road, or they write an option to purchase or option of first refusal. The agents that I know that are exclusive leasing agents are extremely good at what they do and I will lease out buildings that I know or do for a buyer to fill his vacancies but that's where I limit the scope of my leasing.
The avenues are many. I have agents I know that are nothing but buyer agents and do it exclusively. They do an amazing job and they work long hours. Whether an agent works with first time buyers or is a senior specialist they now have a chance to carve a niche in what they have become good at. I have many friends that are attorneys and each has a tendency to specialize in real estate, probate, family law, traffic; they h
ave carved a niche and many of the real estate attorneys I know are involved in the board of Realtors and actively participate in many real estate functions and education.A true life example is soon to take place and pretty much puts it in perspective. One of my Investors and commercial seller as well as a commercial buyer comes to me and says. "You made me a lot of money on that commercial short sale building you sold me. You have it occupied with tents now and per my six year plan you set up for me we are at the point of buying more property and we still need to complete two more purchases this year. I have some lots that I just had my engineering on and now I am going to hydro seed them and have you move them for me." What did I say? I thought about it and realized I could sell his home fast, and the Investments and buildings I relish on completing. We need a New
Construction expert in Waukesha County New Construction. That person hands down is LISA BEAR can complete New Construction in her sleep far better than most when awake. She's the best at land development and New Construction. In short, ask the Waukesha County real estate agent if they have experience in the avenue of real estate you are selling and ask them what their game plan is to accomplish getting you to that successful closing to want and deserve.
