The Real Estate Industry has changed something fierce in the last 29 years in Waukesha County Real Estate. From technology to technique to communication to closings and paperwork. I've been here all this time and I am not going anywhere real soon if I can help it. When I started in this Industry almost 3 decades ago one would come into the office , grab their set of weekly MLS books and tear them into sections for their buyers. There was an addition of a dot matrix printer at one time that typed out the MLS sheets from the MLS on a BORIS system, and to top it off there was a desk phone that went from dial to keys. I was thinking that was technology. Was I in for a rude awakening. I remember the day I got my Uniden bag phone (cell phone) . It was the size of a regular phone, it was in a... 01/17/2014

 There seems to be a myth, a general order, a certain way that the world expects real estate to be and that I see in Waukesha County Real Estate as well. Dead wrong. It is your house, you own it, and yes, you are my boss. Together we roll up our sleeves and we work on a game plan as team players and we get you from point A to point B in a relatively straight line with the top dollar and least headaches being paramount.  Most people in Waukesha County that know me know how diligent I am and how far I will go to make sure you are happy. Sure I watch your transaction like a watch dog,  but with all the technology you could imagine it still boils down old fashion values and old fashion service. I answer my own phone, I set up my own appointments and yes, you employ me. There is no hidden se... 01/16/2014

There is a hobby, a past time, a passion, true art form, if you will, that exists when you live in the Waukesha County Real estate and Lake Country real estate markets. It is known as ice fishing and some take it pretty seriously around these parts. One being known as my son Spencer Braatz, the Ice Fishing Master and Ice fishing Aficionado. He treats it as an art form, and to him it is pure art. I can still remember the day a few winters ago when my son comes up to me and asks if he can use my credit card. As I ask him for what he mentions he is just going to go buy an ice fishing shanty. I said to my self "How much can a Frabill ice shanty cost?" Well, times have changed and I realized this when he came back with one that had multiple independent swivel seats, and extra room, windows a... 01/10/2014

  In Waukesha County Real Estate many people will always hear me refer to the area I live in as Lake Country, with the Lake Country being part of Waukesha County Wisconsin.

When it comes to Waukesha County Lake Homes my son Spencer has got to be the most hell bent for leather fishing aficionado you have ever met. He has everything you can think of. Including Sterno and food for the trays to be heated, heaters, and well... you get the picture.. Once again, Spencer gets his arsenal of favorite lures, poles, varied and assorted snacks and food and he will eat while the grueling and strenuous ice fishing is under way. Sitting in an ice shanty looking at two open holes takes a certain amount of conviction, pseudo tenacity, and desire and strength that many would not understand Spencer tells me.
