3:29
Speaker 4: Yeah?
3:29
Speaker 1: Yes, joined us this morning from Rock Real Tea, and
3:36
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about about you, Kaylee. I
3:39
Speaker 1: I know your mom's been on the program. It's a
3:41
Speaker 1: family a family thing, isn't it.
3:43
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.
3:43
Speaker 5: I mean my parents have been in real estate for
3:45
Speaker 5: god what, probably over a decade now, yeah, something like that.
3:49
Speaker 5: I mean my parents bought their first rental when they
3:52
Speaker 5: were nineteen, which is actually the home that I own now,
3:55
Speaker 5: so I bought my childhood home. They you know, have
3:58
Speaker 5: been in real estate with doing tolls and then my
4:00
Speaker 5: mom got her broker's license not too long ago. My
4:03
Speaker 5: dad's also an agent. My brother's girlfriend is an agent.
4:06
Speaker 5: My PO was an agent for a while, so it
4:09
Speaker 5: is a whole family affair and we all work for
4:11
Speaker 5: Rock Realty.
4:13
Speaker 2: Does mat ever feel like the odd man out here?
4:14
Speaker 2: It feels like what.
4:16
Speaker 3: I'm searching for things and I type in Christowski. There's
4:19
Speaker 3: a lot of names that pop up.
4:20
Speaker 2: Actually there are in oldest of seven.
4:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, youngest is three.
4:27
Speaker 1: That isn't busy, And so I'm guessing that you've probably
4:30
Speaker 1: already put in the three year old to work somewhere
4:32
Speaker 1: around me.
4:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're working remotely.
4:36
Speaker 2: Earlier.
4:37
Speaker 1: And so as we talk Kelly a little bit about
4:40
Speaker 1: kind of your area where you work. Obviously we talked
4:43
Speaker 1: about Janesville, get into Dane County as well.
4:45
Speaker 5: Oh god, I go all over. I mean I sold
4:47
Speaker 5: the property in Choboygan a couple months ago. Yeah, Portage, Bearaboo.
4:51
Speaker 5: I mean, wherever the paycheck will take me, I will go.
4:54
Speaker 1: So how does that work too with folks that are
4:58
Speaker 1: and I know, one of the great things about Roy
5:00
Speaker 1: Rock Realty is all the great resources and all the
5:02
Speaker 1: great tools, and whether whether it's folks that are listing
5:05
Speaker 1: their home and really getting a great reach for exposure
5:08
Speaker 1: for that home, or people looking to buy how does
5:10
Speaker 1: it work somebody coming to you and say, you know,
5:12
Speaker 1: we've worked with Rock Realty in the past, we're looking
5:14
Speaker 1: to move up to Sheboygan, for example. Do they come
5:17
Speaker 1: to you and say, we really we trust what you do.
5:19
Speaker 1: We'd like to maybe have you be our agent, even
5:21
Speaker 1: if it's not an area that that traditionally people think,
5:24
Speaker 1: oh Rock Realty, Dane Rock, Jefferson County. Is that is
5:26
Speaker 1: that kind of how that establishes itself?
5:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, for instance, the property in Sheboygan was
5:32
Speaker 5: my high school friend right now for a while, and
5:34
Speaker 5: so you know, he moved up there from Janesville, wanted
5:37
Speaker 5: to eventually purchase a property. So he had called me,
5:40
Speaker 5: which I so appreciate, you know, because not being from
5:42
Speaker 5: the area. I actually have a client yesterday who asked
5:45
Speaker 5: me if I would be willing to go far up
5:47
Speaker 5: north to buy him a property in the boondocks. Nice.
5:51
Speaker 5: So I told him, I was like, you know, for
5:52
Speaker 5: the right property, I'll come up there.
5:54
Speaker 1: There are some great areas if you've got to spend
5:57
Speaker 1: some time exploring northern Wisconsin.
6:00
Speaker 2: The boondocks of northern Wisconsin not a bit.
6:02
Speaker 3: That zip code.
6:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think I've mentioned my wife is from Spooner,
6:07
Speaker 1: so I'm a little I get quite familiar with the men.
6:11
Speaker 5: I was, Oh, yeahle Wisconsin.
6:12
Speaker 2: Y Oh, it's it's beautiful up there.
6:15
Speaker 1: So as we talk about and Katlee, one of the
6:18
Speaker 1: things I've noticed right away about you is very much
6:20
Speaker 1: a people person, very very friendly, and I've got to
6:23
Speaker 1: guess that that that that it's a really good quality
6:26
Speaker 1: to have.
6:26
Speaker 2: What do you like most about working at Rock Realty?
6:28
Speaker 5: Oh, gosh, I mean our culture. I feel like we're
6:31
Speaker 5: a very close brokerage. We do a ton of events
6:33
Speaker 5: and probably on like a monthly basis, we all get together.
6:36
Speaker 5: We've got a group chat that blows up every single
6:40
Speaker 5: so we are If I get any notifications, it's from
6:42
Speaker 5: the Rock Realty group chat.
6:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's busy, you know, whether it's questions or congratulations
6:49
Speaker 4: or happy birthday, it's a it's a good time every day.
6:51
Speaker 1: And we've talked about and I know on a future
6:54
Speaker 1: show we're gonna you're gonna revisit this topic as well. Uh,
6:57
Speaker 1: if you are listening to the program right now, and
6:59
Speaker 1: you are whether you're dissatisfied with your current current role
7:03
Speaker 1: at an agency or maybe even thinking about becoming a
7:06
Speaker 1: real estate agent or anything I have to do with
7:08
Speaker 1: the real estate.
7:08
Speaker 6: Matt.
7:08
Speaker 2: You guys are always always looking for new people, aren't you.
7:12
Speaker 3: We're looking to fill a few spots.
7:13
Speaker 4: I mean, ideally we're looking for people that are full
7:16
Speaker 4: time or are really truly looking to get into full
7:20
Speaker 4: time for this, because it is it is a lot
7:22
Speaker 4: handling in a real estate and handling a pipeline.
7:24
Speaker 3: It takes a full time effort.
7:26
Speaker 1: It is, and it's a great team too. Is Another
7:28
Speaker 1: great thing is that you know, we think about obviously
7:30
Speaker 1: as agents the front facing folks that are out there,
7:32
Speaker 1: but there's also folks at the office and doing other things.
7:35
Speaker 1: And you talk about a really good, really good area
7:39

8:35
Speaker 3: Room and yeah, happened to be available.
8:38
Speaker 1: That's exactly talk this morning with Matt Heypman and Kaylee
8:42
Speaker 1: Chaikowski Prestowski, you know for folks, little peak behind the
8:49
Speaker 1: scenes before we came on the air this morning. I
8:51
Speaker 1: got the name right, and then I said, if I
8:53
Speaker 1: get it right on air, people are going to get suspicious.
8:55
Speaker 1: People are gonna think something's up. We've got We've got
8:59
Speaker 1: a mess that up a little bit here and there.
9:02
Speaker 1: When we talked too about working in real estate. One
9:05
Speaker 1: of the things I love is is hearing about challenges
9:08
Speaker 1: and issues, you know, as much as what do they
9:11
Speaker 1: always say the best laid plans of mice and men,
9:13
Speaker 1: those type of things. There's going to be some challenges
9:16
Speaker 1: in life. And we were talking earlier about the great
9:18
Speaker 1: team at Rock Realty and the great support staff as well.
9:21
Speaker 1: And as agents, you encounter things from time to time
9:23
Speaker 1: as well when it comes to challenges, and there's always
9:27
Speaker 1: great stories about kind of how that was overcome. And Kayleie,
9:31
Speaker 1: I know you've got a story as well about a
9:33
Speaker 1: challenge you had run into and how you really worked
9:36
Speaker 1: through and really got got a successful outcome on that one.
9:39
Speaker 5: Yeah. So you know, I'm a little bit younger. I'm
9:41
Speaker 5: twenty four. I'll be twenty five here in a couple months.
9:44
Speaker 5: So one of my biggest challenges that I think I
9:46
Speaker 5: encounter from time to time is people seeing me pull
9:49
Speaker 5: up and they're a little a little stunned when they
9:51
Speaker 5: see me exit the car.
9:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.
9:54
Speaker 5: But you know, contrary to my age, I feel like
9:56
Speaker 5: I come with quite a bit of experience from my family.
9:59
Speaker 5: You know, my parents are licensed contractors here in Wisconsin.
10:01
Speaker 5: I've worked for the construction company. I bought a fix
10:04
Speaker 5: your Upper three years ago, and I am doing all
10:06
Speaker 5: the projects myself.
10:07
Speaker 3: She does amazing.
10:08
Speaker 2: Things really look amazing. That's awesome.
10:12
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean I've done a staircase demolition and rebuild.
10:15
Speaker 5: I have done an inground fire pit, Florida ceiling, you know,
10:19
Speaker 5: electric fireplace wall, I am new flooring. I mean the
10:23
Speaker 5: list goes on and on.
10:25
Speaker 1: Does that help to have I mean having that experience
10:27
Speaker 1: and that now know how I think of, if you know,
10:29
Speaker 1: working with you as an ancient as well help people
10:32
Speaker 1: kind of identify things that that may need a little work.
10:35
Speaker 1: I think of when I bought my first home. There
10:38
Speaker 1: is a there is some truth to ignorance is bliss.
10:40
Speaker 1: There's also something when you're making possibly most likely the
10:43
Speaker 1: biggest purchase in your life, having as much information as possible.
10:47
Speaker 1: I've got a guess having that experience and that knowledge
10:49
Speaker 1: goes a real long way working with working with clients
10:52
Speaker 1: and finding that that perfect home for them.
10:54
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean A great example is just two
10:56
Speaker 5: days ago, I was at a showing a property we
10:58
Speaker 5: actually got under contract yesterday or a but the it
11:02
Speaker 5: was a quick flip and they had used grout and
11:04
Speaker 5: instead of silicon cock where it should be used, so
11:07
Speaker 5: you know, educated my buyers. Hey, this is the first
11:09
Speaker 5: thing I want you guys to do. As soon as
11:11
Speaker 5: you close, I will even come over and help you.
11:14
Speaker 5: You know, there's just there's a lot of very small
11:16
Speaker 5: things that can lead to bigger issues in a home
11:19
Speaker 5: that need to be addressed.
11:20
Speaker 1: Are you able also to help for folks that may
11:22
Speaker 1: be looking maybe there's somebody who's who's handy, is maybe saying,
11:25
Speaker 1: you know what, I want that fixer upper. I've got
11:27
Speaker 1: to guess your experience as well, having done it yourself.
11:31
Speaker 1: That's got to go a long way as well, doesn't it.
11:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I can give them estimated prices of
11:35
Speaker 5: what things are going to cost because I've done them myself.
11:37
Speaker 2: Well, that is very very cool. Also sold fixer.
11:40
Speaker 4: Uppers, yep, that work, and so she's able to kind
11:46
Speaker 4: of explain different things.
11:46
Speaker 2: That is absolutely amazing.

12:43
Speaker 1: three two two ninety eight fifty five. That's six oh
12:46
Speaker 1: eight three two two ninety eight fifty five. And as
12:50
Speaker 1: we've talked about Kylee, of course a second generation real
12:54
Speaker 1: estate agent at Rockrealteam. Matt, obviously not every agent comes
12:58
Speaker 1: through those channels. Let's talk about kind of what you
13:01
Speaker 1: guys at at Rock Realty when it comes to finding
13:03
Speaker 1: the right agent.
13:04
Speaker 2: How do you guys go about that?
13:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a tough thing to do.
13:08
Speaker 4: I mean, just like any business when when you hire people,
13:12
Speaker 4: you know they tend to say the right thing, Yes
13:14
Speaker 4: they do, but you know, whether or not they have
13:17
Speaker 4: the work ethic to do it, it's a different thing.
13:18
Speaker 3: And you know, you have to be able to connect
13:20
Speaker 3: with people. You have to just kind of keep pushing forward.
13:23
Speaker 4: Even if they're struggles, you know, because it is a
13:25
Speaker 4: commission based situation, right, so you have to have the
13:28
Speaker 4: right people with the right opportunity. And I think that
13:30
Speaker 4: we try to blend that opportunity in there so that
13:33
Speaker 4: everybody has that. I mean, Kaylee started working a full
13:37
Speaker 4: time job and was already doing full time production.
13:40
Speaker 5: Wow.
13:40
Speaker 4: And since then she's she's left that, so, I mean,
13:43
Speaker 4: the opportunity.
13:43
Speaker 3: Is there to become successful. And she had eighteen closings
13:46
Speaker 3: her first year.
13:47
Speaker 1: One of the things I find interesting, and I think
13:49
Speaker 1: we've probably all known somebody in our life it's like,
13:51
Speaker 1: I want to do real estate and they kind of
13:53
Speaker 1: jump in, and I think a lot of folks think, like,
13:56
Speaker 1: it's got to be easier, it's got to be It
13:59
Speaker 1: really takes a special person to be successful in real estate,
14:01
Speaker 1: doesn't it.
14:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does, especially if you're not going to go
14:04
Speaker 4: all in, right, if you're not going to just jump
14:07
Speaker 4: in full time and say, you know what, I'm going
14:08
Speaker 4: to make this work.
14:10
Speaker 3: You know, it's pretty difficult.
14:12
Speaker 4: And we've only had a handful of people that have
14:15
Speaker 4: successfully transitioned from a full time job into real estate
14:18
Speaker 4: by slowly getting there. You kind of have to have
14:21
Speaker 4: a full pipeline in order to be able to get
14:25
Speaker 4: paid as a full time agent. Absolutely, so we do
14:28
Speaker 4: our best to fill everybody's pipeline, but whether or not
14:30
Speaker 4: they're able to put in enough effort in time is
14:32
Speaker 4: a whole different thing.
14:33
Speaker 1: And it's a fantastic you know, we talk about working
14:36
Speaker 1: with working with the folks at Rock Realty, and you know,
14:39
Speaker 1: we've had a chance to get to know some of
14:40
Speaker 1: the agents over the years, and of course get to
14:42
Speaker 1: meet with Matt each and every week. It's a really
14:44
Speaker 1: really great company and they really do great stuff for
14:46
Speaker 1: their clients and again great stuff as well for their employees.
14:49
Speaker 1: For somebody that's looking to make that commitment, and Kaylee,
14:52
Speaker 1: I want to ask a little bit about that commitment
14:54
Speaker 1: and kind of what a day in the life of
14:55
Speaker 1: a real estate agent is like and I've got to
14:58
Speaker 1: guess what's to be one of the great features of
15:01
Speaker 1: being a real estate agent. So there's probably not a
15:03
Speaker 1: quote unquote typical date. They're all kind of unique, aren't they.
15:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean every single day is different. You will
15:09
Speaker 5: be meeting with contractors, some days doing seven showings, another
15:12
Speaker 5: day no showings. The following day, sure, I mean Saturday,
15:16
Speaker 5: for example, seven showings. Sunday I got I think three showings,
15:20
Speaker 5: wrote two offers which both got accepted. Yesterday, God, yesterday
15:25
Speaker 5: I met with a contractor showings. Today after this I'm
15:29
Speaker 5: going to showings. So, I mean, it's amazing though, and
15:32
Speaker 5: I really appreciate being busy. I appreciate all my clients,
15:35
Speaker 5: so I wouldn't want it any other way.
15:36
Speaker 2: What is an open house? What goes into doing an
15:38
Speaker 2: open house for a listing?
15:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, depends on the agent. I will pronounce all of
15:44
Speaker 5: my lm LAS sheets, my real estate condition reports, you know,
15:47
Speaker 5: any additional information on the property. Some people will bake
15:50
Speaker 5: cookies them, bring the open houses, bring waters, you know.
15:55
Speaker 4: But Kaylee tends to do a lot of video to
15:57
Speaker 4: which I really, oh really, she's really good on social media,
16:00
Speaker 4: little fun shorts, and I mean she's had ones. Where
16:03
Speaker 4: wasn't it buyer clients jumping through your sun roof on the.
16:09
Speaker 2: That's great, really good stuff. What about it?
16:12
Speaker 1: And Matt we talked about that when it comes to
16:13
Speaker 1: like open houses and deciding that how what what Matt
16:16
Speaker 1: works then for? Like which houses do those or is
16:19
Speaker 1: that something you work with the with the homeowner?
16:22
Speaker 2: How does that? How does that stuff happen?
16:23
Speaker 4: I mean, it all depends on the house, depends on
16:25
Speaker 4: the market, depends on the location. You know, there are
16:29
Speaker 4: some places that just naturally won't do well with an
16:32
Speaker 4: open house because they're out in the country. It takes
16:34
Speaker 4: a drive to get there, right, there's other places there
16:37
Speaker 4: and such busy roads. The open house can can you know,
16:40
Speaker 4: the signs themselves can pull in people, but otherwise you're
16:43
Speaker 4: kind of relying on the MLS and the internet sites
16:46
Speaker 4: to tell people about the open house. We do, we
16:48
Speaker 4: do run paid ads for our open houses to try
16:51
Speaker 4: to you know, procure as many visitors as you can.
16:55
Speaker 4: But yeah, it all depends on timeframe too. Sometimes we'll
16:58
Speaker 4: do it Thursday night. Other times it'll be just Sunday afternoon,
17:01
Speaker 4: like normal schedule that around the packer game, of course.
17:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Katlee, it's got to be a benefit too
17:07
Speaker 1: for you as a as a younger agent, as we've
17:10
Speaker 1: you know, as even in my lifetime, I've seen just
17:14
Speaker 1: as as an observer, kind of a different approach to
17:17
Speaker 1: real estate. It used to be very much like people
17:19
Speaker 1: would drive around and they go to see these homes.
17:21
Speaker 1: So much is done online. And I think of people
17:23
Speaker 1: in their in their twenties and thirties that that's really
17:27
Speaker 1: the online world is really second nature to them. I've
17:30
Speaker 1: got to guess having that, you know, your age, has
17:32
Speaker 1: got to be a great benefit to really marketing online
17:36
Speaker 1: some of these houses.
17:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean that kind of goes back to
17:40
Speaker 5: my videos as well. My demographic is more on social media.
17:43
Speaker 5: I'm not on TikTok. I might eventually be talk. My
17:47
Speaker 5: siblings are on it, so I kind of refuse to
17:49
Speaker 5: do that.
17:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like the old Facebook for us. Yeah, now
17:55
Speaker 3: we're on Facebook, I hear.
17:56
Speaker 1: I remember when Facebook was like new and hip and
17:59
Speaker 1: like it and people. When Facebook first became a thing,
18:03
Speaker 1: you needed an invite, like you.
18:04
Speaker 2: Need somebody meeting.
18:05
Speaker 3: It was a big deal.
18:06
Speaker 2: You need to know somebody.
18:07
Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg's.
18:10
Speaker 2: Wife and kids, Mark said thank you for joining.
18:13
Speaker 1: Yes, remember Tom on my space what he's up to
18:18
Speaker 1: you my space at all I.

19:10
Speaker 5: I love Dora County. I was just there in July.

19:20
Speaker 5: and I actually I really love that.
19:23
Speaker 2: I have anxiety. Yeah, it's gonna say. Matt's like, No, I.
19:27
Speaker 5: Usually coordinate with my clients and I let them know

Speaker 5: but no, I mean us realtors, we are constantly on
19:39
Speaker 5: our phones. That's where the hub is for our work.
19:41
Speaker 5: So sometimes it's nice to detach a little bit and
19:44
Speaker 5: get a reset.
19:45
Speaker 2: Is that one of the things?
19:46
Speaker 1: Just one final thing too, before we get back to
19:47
Speaker 1: this week's feature listening, I do want to ask you
19:49
Speaker 1: about is. Obviously, phones are everywhere and they're great tools
19:54
Speaker 1: and other things.
19:56
Speaker 2: It has changed.
19:57
Speaker 1: All works, work, walks of life when it comes to
20:00
Speaker 1: to work being in a real estate agent. I've got
20:02
Speaker 1: to guess one of the things. And I don't know
20:04
Speaker 1: if this is a plus a minus, but I think
20:07
Speaker 1: for some people they love it is you never know
20:09
Speaker 1: what what your schedule is going to look like any
20:11
Speaker 1: given week. Got this is We're not talking nine to

Speaker 5: your morning thinking there's going to be no showings that day. Yeah,
20:19
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, you have four clients. Your
20:21
Speaker 5: entire day is filled up.
20:23
Speaker 1: Do you get like ever get like random clients just
