 No matter you may be in life one day you will aspire to own your own home. It is human nature. It is a goal. It is the American dream. If someone would have told me when I was 20 that I would become one of the Waukesha County Real Estate agents and I that I would have shaken a lot of hand over 37 years introducing myself "Hi I am Tom Braatz, can I help you in your real estate goals?" I would have told them that they had it wrong. Turns out they were exactly right. Owning a home is the American dream. It's where we settle down. It's where we see our kids grow up. It's where we have a comfort zone because if we do it right we can always say " I can't wait until I get home " Can I help you accomplishing your American dream?

 John Weber a Milwaukee Real Estate agent purchased a 87 acre plot on the northern side of Waukesha, Wisconsin  The end result would be Moor Down mud baths and a health resort. Mr. Weber's property had black Moor mud on it and it contained the same medicinal remedies that the black Moor mud did in Germany and the European mud baths..With a follow up research to Germany the decision was made and the Grand View Health resort was built and opened in 1911. This property is now part of the Waukesha County office buildings. Prior to the county the property was a Catholic seminary. The original hotel and resort was  thirty two rooms with an addition that followed that added another thirty rooms. Andrew Frame, a Waukesha resident built a large golf course in 1919 around the whole complex and th...

 Often I make reference to many of all the great things one can do in the Kettle Moraine area. It was not too long ago someone asked "Hey Tom Braatz, what is a Kettle Moraine?" Well it's not so much what is it, but also where it is.By definition, per Wikipedia  "A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock) which can occur in currently glaciated and formerly glaciated regions, such as those areas acted upon by a past ice age. This debris may have been plucked off the valley floor as a glacier advanced or it may have fallen off the valley walls as a result of frost wedging. Moraines may be composed of debris ranging in size from silt-like glacial flour to large boulders. The debris is typically sub-angular to rounded in shape. Moraines ma...

When I was younger and would hang out with my grandmother driving her nuts she would often suggest I go mow the yard, pull weeds, or do some physical work so I could appreciate a good days work. Often, I would look in her refrigerator for food and comment that her ice box should be colder. Of which she would reply "You don't know how good you have it Tombo, I remember always scraping and cleaning the ice chest." I would then make some crack about not keeping tabs on the pioneers and from there I was out doing physical hard work. Little did I know the amazing history that was all around me on the Waukesha County lakes and the rest of the Lake Country Real Estate Market.Before refrigerators most people could have used an ice chest which consisted of a holding compartment, a storage area u...

Of Course, you can find them in Waukesha County Real Estate and Milwaukee County Real Estate. I'm often the designated driver for my friends when we go some place to watch Packer Games. I can tell you my friends may have too many of these little gems.  When you enter a fine Wisconsin establishment or bar, tailgate party or restaurant and someone is celebrating you can tell they may go all out and order an aber gut (German for Oh Good!). This way you know they are really "cookin with gas now" and they are not just "FAIR-TA-MIDDLIN  ( Not bad or great, just "O.K." ) We drink them plain, and sometimes we drink them flaming .An aber gut is a combination shot of brandy with schnapps on top ( Sometimes it is known as a snow shoe or possibly a snow ball ). You may not hear this lots of places ...

 If there is one thing I have learned in life and Waukesha County Real Estate is that great risks bring great rewards. Have I learned that the hard way; many times. This time around I am more aware of my commitment and know that I can't risk it like I used to. Nonetheless; I never have a doubt of my capabilities. I don't flinch easy.  It's all in knowing that I have proved it many times and I have seen many talk, and I mean talk. Well, talk is cheap. For thirty seven years now I have faced the music and smile.I recently met with a client looking for real estate agents in Waukesha County Wisconsin that needed their home sold like yesterday. After we concluded our conversation she thanked me for doing my best, thinking outside of the box, and taking chances in every direction to get their...
