Speaker 2: Speaking of listings, this week's featured.
1:37
Speaker 1: Listing is a but I guess we could call it.
1:40
Speaker 1: It is a really really beautiful home in Jefferson. Let's
1:44
Speaker 1: talk about this house on Fairway Circle map.
1:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a charmer, I mean, a curb appeal that's
1:50
Speaker 3: out of a movie.
1:51
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah.
1:52
Speaker 3: The addresses six to twelve Fairway Circle in Jefferson. And
1:57
Speaker 3: this is a large home, four bedrooms, three and a
2:00
Speaker 3: half bath, over three thousand square feet. You know, it's
2:04
Speaker 3: got it's got a fireplace, it's got finished lower level
2:09
Speaker 3: has one of those neat side garages which give the
2:12
Speaker 3: front a really neat, neat look to it, because you
2:14
Speaker 3: just it makes a home look a lot even bigger
2:16
Speaker 3: when you have the garage doors on the side.
2:18
Speaker 2: It does.
2:18
Speaker 1: It looks and I know that there are some subdivisions
2:21
Speaker 1: that have requirements for that now where they don't allow
2:24
Speaker 1: you allow your garage facing the circle.
2:26
Speaker 2: I see why. It looks just amazing like that. The
2:29
Speaker 2: other cool thing is.
2:30
Speaker 1: For anyone that's ever bought a home, the first thing
2:33
Speaker 1: I noticed was two words new and roof.
2:37
Speaker 3: And new central a c oh, yeah, the two major ones.
2:41
Speaker 2: But they are they are? Is that?
2:43
Speaker 1: And by the way, I wouln't ask you too, Matt,
2:44
Speaker 1: when when working with an agent on something like that,
2:47
Speaker 1: is I think of like first time home buyers. You know,
2:50
Speaker 1: we all do this where we're like very wowed by
2:53
Speaker 1: like and for good reason. You know, beautiful looking home,
2:56
Speaker 1: you know, great countertops, all these other things, but things
2:58
Speaker 1: like again new maybe not the most glamorous, but the
3:02
Speaker 1: reality is it does make a substantial difference on at home,
3:05
Speaker 1: doesn't it.
3:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, It definitely makes a difference, and it actually can
3:07
Speaker 3: affect your insurance as well. Really yeah, if you have
3:10
Speaker 3: a much older roof, sometimes that can have an effect
3:13
Speaker 3: on what you have to or can do with your
3:15
Speaker 3: homeowners insurance.
3:16
Speaker 1: So it's a it's important thing, It is really important.
3:19
Speaker 1: It's also important to be working with a great agent.

4:57
Speaker 1: about about working at Rock Realty for you?
4:59
Speaker 2: What what set like?
5:00
Speaker 1: What's that what obviously you've been there since since day one,
5:03
Speaker 1: first employee, What's what's that been like for you?
5:05
Speaker 4: You know, it's a great team environment. Everybody's there to
5:08
Speaker 4: help you and work together. I've I've had a great
5:12
Speaker 4: experience with all of the agents that work there, and
5:14
Speaker 4: and really just everybody's willing to help everybody else, and
5:17
Speaker 4: it's it's just a great team environment.
5:19
Speaker 1: Let's talk then, too about you know, a little bit
5:21
Speaker 1: of the internal is obviously a great team there. But
5:23
Speaker 1: I've got to guess and it's certainly you know, we
5:25
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, about working and accounting as.
5:28
Speaker 2: Well and that stuff. You've got to be a people person.
5:30
Speaker 1: I've got to guess you you probably really enjoy being
5:33
Speaker 1: a real estate agent as well, don't you.
5:34
Speaker 4: Absolutely? You know, tying those two things together, knowing people's
5:38
Speaker 4: finances and being able to help them on the real
5:40
Speaker 4: estate side, understanding what they can really afford and doing
5:43
Speaker 4: those things is you know, it's a good marriage between
5:46
Speaker 4: the two careers.
5:47
Speaker 1: What made you decide to start doing real estate? Matt
5:53
Speaker 1: he has that power over people, doesn't He's very influential.
5:56
Speaker 2: It does. That is it's it's got it.
5:59
Speaker 1: That's got to be so much fun though, as you
6:01
Speaker 1: think about about having people and helping people and something
6:04
Speaker 1: very tangible is is you know, going from whether it's
6:07
Speaker 1: a house that maybe they've they've outgrown, kids, grow off,
6:10
Speaker 1: grow up, go to college, start their own families, or
6:13
Speaker 1: maybe a situation where they're ready for that move up,
6:15
Speaker 1: or even even I'm gonna guess even more dramatic, that
6:17
Speaker 1: first time home buyer. That's got to be amazingly rewarding.
6:20
Speaker 1: Getting to know these families, getting to all these folks
6:22
Speaker 1: and kind of working through a pretty significant life phase
6:25
Speaker 1: with them and assisting them along the way.
6:27
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's like an extension of your family, right they
6:30
Speaker 4: become part of that group and you get to celebrate
6:33
Speaker 4: with them after everything is said and done and see
6:35
Speaker 4: the excitement on their face when they finally find that
6:37
Speaker 4: right home.
6:38
Speaker 1: Oh how great is that? Speaking of finding that right home,
6:41
Speaker 1: obviously you've got you've got some places listed. Is there
6:43
Speaker 1: anythink that's standing out to you right now as far
6:45
Speaker 1: as your listenings that you're like.
6:47
Speaker 4: So, I don't have any current listings myself. I'm working
6:50
Speaker 4: with buyers right now, but Rock Reality's got some great
6:54
Speaker 4: active listings out there that she sold all hers earlier
7:00
Speaker 4: in the area during the tax season.
7:03
Speaker 1: Well, I talked about working with the buyers and what
7:06
Speaker 1: that experience is like for you is is you know
7:09
Speaker 1: I mentioned, you know, getting to know the families and
7:11
Speaker 1: getting know the folks. Let's talk a little bit about
7:13
Speaker 1: what that's like from your perspective.
7:14
Speaker 4: Sure, So, I mean it's a daunting thing, right looking
7:17
Speaker 4: for a house right now and trying to find that
7:19
Speaker 4: right spot. Interest rates are a little high, and affordability
7:24
Speaker 4: sometimes is not quite there. So sometimes talking them off
7:28
Speaker 4: a ledge on some of the things that they want
7:29
Speaker 4: and having them kind of compromise on some of the
7:32
Speaker 4: things and know that they can do other things to
7:34
Speaker 4: finish it up.
7:35
Speaker 2: You know.
7:35
Speaker 1: One of the amazing things about this area is obviously
7:38
Speaker 1: if you're in like the heart of Madison, there's there's
7:40
Speaker 1: a premium that you're going to pay for that, right
7:42
Speaker 1: if you're the convenience of the isthmus and that type
7:44
Speaker 1: of thing. But if you step outside of Madison proper,
7:48
Speaker 1: even if you're willing to Rock County Jefferson County, there
7:51
Speaker 1: are some really, really amazing properties that are that are
7:56
Speaker 1: very affordable for folks, and I think people sometimes and
8:00
Speaker 1: especially if you if you know, if you're a younger
8:01
Speaker 1: person looking for that first home, they'll see like the
8:04
Speaker 1: stuff like in their neighborhood where their house or their
8:07
Speaker 1: apartment is, and they're going, I don't know if I
8:08
Speaker 1: can ever afford that. If they take the time to
8:10
Speaker 1: talk with an agent and work with a good buyer's agent,
8:12
Speaker 1: you can find them something. It might it might be,
8:14
Speaker 1: you know, twenty minutes outside of town, but they're out there,
8:16
Speaker 1: aren't they.
8:17
Speaker 4: They are. I actually have one under contract right now
8:20
Speaker 4: that's in Jefferson County, h three bedroom, three bath, townhouse
8:24
Speaker 4: style home and you could never find that price point
8:28
Speaker 4: in Madison.
8:28
Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing stuff. Talking this morning with Bethany Alexander

Speaker 1: But real quick too, Matt, we mentioned in that last
9:29
Speaker 1: segment that Bethany was your first hire. A little bit
9:33
Speaker 1: about working at Rock Realty, and a little bit about
9:35
Speaker 1: the I know you and Mike really work to form
9:39
Speaker 1: a really really cohesive team at Rock Realty buyers agent sellers,
9:43
Speaker 1: agents working with clients.
9:45
Speaker 2: It's really a high priority for you, isn't it.
9:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I would say that. You know, what we've
9:50
Speaker 3: learned is you have to hire the right people to
9:52
Speaker 3: have the right culture.
9:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
9:54
Speaker 3: Right, And we've always hired good hearted, genuine people that
9:58
Speaker 3: want to do right by the clients and I want

Speaker 3: team atmosphere then too, So they're not just out for themselves,
10:06
Speaker 3: they're they're out for the team, out for their clients,
10:08
Speaker 3: and it's a it's been a great close knit group.
10:12
Speaker 1: We talked to about Bethany, i'mnna ask you, is you
10:14
Speaker 1: get a chance to go out on any of these
10:15
Speaker 1: little excursions. I know once a year Matt likes to
10:19
Speaker 1: likes to get out of town for a while, do
10:20
Speaker 1: you guys it's usually.
10:22
Speaker 4: During tax season, so.
10:24
Speaker 1: She usually qualifies, But that doesn't chooses not the job man,
10:29
Speaker 1: you guys bring back something nice though.
10:31
Speaker 3: You know, if she would do Texas when it's cold out,
10:32
Speaker 3: we'd be Yeah, it would.
10:34
Speaker 2: Be all set.
10:34
Speaker 1: So a lot of the cool perks as we as
10:36
Speaker 1: we talked this morning about Rock Realty and talk a
10:39
Speaker 1: little bit more with Bethany Alexander about about her experience
10:42
Speaker 1: and Bethany, we start this conversation, Uh, mentioning you work
10:46
Speaker 1: in in tax preparation and a tax accountants been one
10:50
Speaker 1: for twenty one years. The two worlds do intersect, don't they,
10:54
Speaker 1: And specifically something called a one twenty one exclusion, which
10:59
Speaker 1: against sounds very very it probably is technical, very technical,
11:04
Speaker 1: but it is something that can be very useful for
11:07
Speaker 1: folks when it comes to real estate. Let's talk a
11:09
Speaker 1: little bit about merging those two worlds and what we're
11:11
Speaker 1: talking about with that one twenty one exclusion.
11:14
Speaker 2: Yes.
11:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there's a lot of confusion sometimes with real estates,
11:18
Speaker 4: and I think people think if they sell their home,
11:21
Speaker 4: they have to invest that money into another property right
11:23
Speaker 4: away in order to avoid paying capital gains tax. But
11:27
Speaker 4: in reality, if you've owned your home for two or
11:31
Speaker 4: owned your home and lived in it for two out
11:33
Speaker 4: of five years, you can use this one twenty one
11:36
Speaker 4: exclusion as long as you make less than two hundred
11:39
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars as a single individual or five hundred
11:41
Speaker 4: thousand dollars as a married couple. So it's a nice
11:44
Speaker 4: way to you know, get that equity out of your
11:47
Speaker 4: home and not have to reinvest it to actually reap
11:51
Speaker 4: the rewards.
11:51
Speaker 1: Oh that's fascinat because I h I think a lot
11:53
Speaker 1: of people are like, oh, we love to sell, but
11:55
Speaker 1: that hit could just be substantial. So with that, I've
11:59
Speaker 1: got to guess working obviously yourself, but working with other
12:03
Speaker 1: agents as well. At Rock Realty, we talked a little
12:05
Speaker 1: bit about that team approach. You're able to help other
12:08
Speaker 1: agents as well kind of navigate through some of these
12:11
Speaker 1: great opportunities and some of these great benefits.
12:14
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I've had many conversations with agents within Rock Reality
12:18
Speaker 4: and as well as their clients just to help answer
12:21
Speaker 4: these questions and make sure that they understand that, you know,
12:23
Speaker 4: they can really sell their home and reap the rewards
12:26
Speaker 4: without do.
12:27
Speaker 1: We see people using it as a strategy as well
12:29
Speaker 1: as kind of an overall financial strategy. You think of
12:32
Speaker 1: like your home and the equity that you can build
12:34
Speaker 1: in a home having. You know, obviously its primary use
12:39
Speaker 1: is a place to live, but we can't ignore the
12:42
Speaker 1: financial implications of this asset that we're building and growing
12:46
Speaker 1: over your simply by sleeping in it each night.
12:49
Speaker 2: Right correct well.
12:50
Speaker 4: In with interest rates in the market the way it's been,
12:52
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes people buyers have to buy a home
12:55
Speaker 4: that is less than what they're looking for, and they
12:57
Speaker 4: can utilize the equity in their home, continue to sell
13:00
Speaker 4: that home every two years. You can take this exclusion
13:03
Speaker 4: and they can build up to eventually their dream home
13:06
Speaker 4: and what they've been looking for.
13:07
Speaker 1: Other opportunities with rental properties as well, as we talk
13:09
Speaker 1: about some of this stuff in some areas that that
13:11
Speaker 1: folks need to be aware of.
13:12
Speaker 4: Absolutely. So you have an investment property, you have a
13:15
Speaker 4: rental property, you can actually bring in the ten thirty
13:18
Speaker 4: one exchange and defer capital gains tax on that into
13:23
Speaker 4: the next property and build up to a bigger property.
13:26
Speaker 1: By the way, you just lit up when I said that,
13:28
Speaker 1: I could see it like I knew I hit something there.
13:31
Speaker 2: A true accountant.
13:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got excited about ten thirty one.
13:34
Speaker 1: Very exciting stuff this morning as we to talk tobut

Speaker 1: memorable experience you've had with clients who are just like, oh,
14:15
Speaker 1: my goodness, this is just just the bee's knees has
14:19
Speaker 1: worked out perfectly.
14:20
Speaker 2: You know.
14:20
Speaker 4: I mean I've had experiences where we didn't actually get
14:25
Speaker 4: an accepted offer and something fell through and then they
14:27
Speaker 4: were able to actually come in and get the property
14:29
Speaker 4: that they were kind of looking at and really wanting.
14:32
Speaker 4: So you know, certain things like that, But every experience
14:35
Speaker 4: is a memorable experience when I get to go through
14:37
Speaker 4: it with these clients and celebrate with them at the
14:39
Speaker 4: end of the day.
14:40
Speaker 1: You know, I have a couple of relatives that work
14:42
Speaker 1: in home building, and like you drive around with them,
14:43
Speaker 1: they're always like I worked on that.
14:45
Speaker 2: Is that the same thing for real estate agent?
14:46
Speaker 1: Like when you drive around you go, hey, I listed
14:49
Speaker 1: that or I know the smiths that live there, and like,
14:53
Speaker 1: is it like that for you as well?
14:54
Speaker 4: It is. It's it's surreal right when you drive by
14:56
Speaker 4: and you know that you had a part in them
14:59
Speaker 4: getting into that home or selling that home and moving
15:01
Speaker 4: on to their next ideal place.
15:03
Speaker 1: What would you say to younger people that are that
15:05
Speaker 1: are looking to get into get into real estate? Any
15:07
Speaker 1: advice for them as far as what they should be
15:09
Speaker 1: doing right now?
15:11
Speaker 4: You know it's scary, but also if you get the
15:14
Speaker 4: right mentor and you work with the white group of people,
15:17
Speaker 4: it can be such a rewarding experience. So I mean,
15:20
Speaker 4: if it's something that you have interest in, I would
15:22
Speaker 4: absolutely explore it.
15:23
Speaker 2: I met.
15:23
Speaker 1: Do you get folks that will call the call the
15:25
Speaker 1: office and say we liked maybe not today, but we're
15:28
Speaker 1: looking to in the future becoming homeowners. What can we do?
15:32
