7:59
Speaker 1: that really stand out to you through your career working
8:02
Speaker 1: at Rock Realty.
8:04
Speaker 5: To be honest, the I had never thought I was
8:07
Speaker 5: going to be as satisfied as what it was when
8:09
Speaker 5: I got the When you get that, when you get
8:11
Speaker 5: to make that phone call let someone know they got
8:13
Speaker 5: the house. Oh yeah, I think I made a mention
8:16
Speaker 5: to you that my first ever transaction I think I
8:18
Speaker 5: had as a realtor, it was a younger couple just
8:21
Speaker 5: moving to Madison, expecting their first child.
8:23
Speaker 4: And when I made that phone call, I could.
8:25
Speaker 5: Just hear the screaming in the background, and uh, you know,
8:28
Speaker 5: I usually try to say I'm pretty good guy, pretty
8:31
Speaker 5: tough guy, right, don't cry, and yeah, you know, I
8:33
Speaker 5: had a few tears come down my face. And I
8:35
Speaker 5: think when I heard that, that's kind of like I
8:37
Speaker 5: was like, this is why I think I'm doing what
8:39
Speaker 5: I'm doing.
8:39
Speaker 1: So that's a great perspective too is I think sometimes
8:43
Speaker 1: we forget is obviously for the families that are that
8:46
Speaker 1: are buying that home, especially if it's the first home,
8:49
Speaker 1: what a memorable experience is. But we forget that that
8:51
Speaker 1: the people you've been working with and the team around you,
8:54
Speaker 1: they've got not just a professional commitment, they've got a
8:58
Speaker 1: very personal commitment as well. In a bond forms as
9:01
Speaker 1: you're working with these you know, you talk about your
9:04
Speaker 1: first that that first couple, and you know you're really
9:07
Speaker 1: you know, these are people you really want to you
9:09
Speaker 1: really want to please and really want the best for.
9:12
Speaker 1: We forget that that there's that relation, like a true
9:14
Speaker 1: relationship that develops.
9:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:17
Speaker 5: I actually I've had customer of clients I've worked with
9:19
Speaker 5: that I come to find out that their their son
9:21
Speaker 5: was the offensive coordinare u W Whitewater football team. So
9:25
Speaker 5: obviously that kicked off some conversations right away. And I
9:27
Speaker 5: don't think I think we talked more about football than
9:29
Speaker 5: we did about the house erraitory in that day. So
9:32
Speaker 5: so yeah, I mean, you tend to form that.
9:33
Speaker 4: Bond and and uh, it's just it's a great feeling
9:36
Speaker 4: to have.
9:36
Speaker 1: So talk of this morning with Jason Allen and Matt
9:39
Speaker 1: Heypman of Rockrealty Online Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's Rock
9:43
Speaker 1: r O c K Wisconsin dot com.
9:45
Speaker 4: Matt, let's talk.
9:46
Speaker 1: I want to ask you too about as we talk
9:47
Speaker 1: about different agents with Rock Realty. Obviously there's some common allies,
9:51
Speaker 1: there's some uniqueness. Is what when it comes to bringing
9:53
Speaker 1: new agents on. Obviously Jason's got quite a bit of experience,
9:57
Speaker 1: But for like new folks that are just joining, what's
9:59
Speaker 1: that what's that process? Like, what are you looking for
10:02
Speaker 1: when when you're deciding let's let's bring this person on
10:05
Speaker 1: to be part of the team.
10:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough one to figure out. I mean,
10:09
Speaker 2: anybody that sits down in an interview is trying to
10:11
Speaker 2: impress the other party, right, So it's you know, it's
10:14
Speaker 2: important to make sure that their priorities are in place,
10:18
Speaker 2: Like we want to make sure that they seem to
10:21
Speaker 2: be a person that is going to put their client
10:23
Speaker 2: first over you know, just making a larger.
10:26
Speaker 1: Payer paycheck, right.
10:28
Speaker 3: And you know, that's kind of the culture we've created
10:30
Speaker 3: there is.
10:31
Speaker 2: We want we want people that are just really concerned
10:34
Speaker 2: on making sure that the clients are happy and building
10:36
Speaker 2: those relationships like we were talking about before, and the
10:39
Speaker 2: other thing is trying to determine whether or not they're
10:42
Speaker 2: going to put in the effort. Right, So it's it's
10:44
Speaker 2: it's hard to find hard working people, but we've we've
10:47
Speaker 2: been lucky thus far.
10:48
Speaker 1: Sounds like and for folks that are curious, by the way,
10:50

Speaker 1: website my rockstar job dot com. That's my rockstar job
11:40
Speaker 1: dot com. This week talking with Matt Heiman and Jason
11:43
Speaker 1: Allen of Rock Realty, and we think about the day
11:46
Speaker 1: to day life and any career and every job. There's
11:48
Speaker 1: going to be challenges. There's going to be obstacles. They
11:51
Speaker 1: can be quite frustrating at times, but quite rewarding in
11:54
Speaker 1: the outcome. And Jason, are there any challenges that that
11:58
Speaker 1: you face that you that you say, you know what,
12:01
Speaker 1: this is something that you learned a lot from or
12:03
Speaker 1: like an experience that that you'd like to share as
12:05
Speaker 1: far as some of the challenges you faced.
12:07
Speaker 5: Uh. Yeah, interest rates are probably the biggest challenge at
12:12
Speaker 5: least right now. Yeah, to be honest with you, having
12:15
Speaker 5: that conversation with people and trying to, you know, reassure
12:19
Speaker 5: them that hey is losing out on the house, so
12:22
Speaker 5: your dream's worth you know, being scared of the interest rates.
12:25
Speaker 4: You know, I think everyone got so.
12:28
Speaker 5: Rewarded when back when they were down to two two
12:30
Speaker 5: and a half percent that and I just have to
12:32
Speaker 5: reiterate to people that we're never going to see that probably.
12:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was just a reluctant thing.
12:37
Speaker 5: So interest rates is probably the hardest thing that makes
12:40
Speaker 5: my job the most difficult.
12:43
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I mean, but what about working with you
12:46
Speaker 1: talk about working with you know, interest rates and and
12:49
Speaker 1: kind of overcoming that that obstacle for folks, So that
12:52
Speaker 1: perceived obstacle for folks working with and having a good
12:55
Speaker 1: relationship with with with a lender. Working know, obviously as
13:00
Speaker 1: a as a real estate agent, you've worked with a
13:02
Speaker 1: number of lenders, you know, the ones that that that
13:05
Speaker 1: you trust and have that relationship. Let's talk a little
13:07
Speaker 1: bit about that helping folks kind of develop that relationship
13:10
Speaker 1: as well.
13:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, you want to find a lender obviously you can trust.
13:14
Speaker 5: You've had Wes on here in the past. Wes is
13:17
Speaker 5: someone that we can send people on to. One situation
13:21
Speaker 5: that I had was, you know, I was working with
13:23
Speaker 5: a buyer who was working with the lender who we
13:25
Speaker 5: won't name, and it's just the lack of communication. The
13:31
Speaker 5: lender really fallen through on a lot of dates and
13:33
Speaker 5: things like that. Normally in a normal situation that that
13:38
Speaker 5: that transaction probably falls through. And one thing that I
13:42
Speaker 5: was able to do is obviously keep the communication open
13:44
Speaker 5: with that listening agent and the seller and let them
13:46
Speaker 5: know that I was doing everything that I can to
13:49
Speaker 5: to obviously get it going. We did close a week late,
13:51
Speaker 5: but the fact that we got to that finish line
13:53
Speaker 5: and we closed, my buyers, we were just he was
13:58
Speaker 5: his basket case right the whole thing, and I just
14:00
Speaker 5: kept assure, I'm like, listen, I'm here for you. I'll
14:02
Speaker 5: keep doing this, I'll reach out to the lender and
14:04
Speaker 5: I'll take care of it. And we got to that
14:06
Speaker 5: final spot. Like I said, we closed a week late,
14:08
Speaker 5: but we closed on it.
14:09
Speaker 1: So I wonder too, if that's kind of in your
14:12
Speaker 1: DNA I think of. I was not raised in a
14:15
Speaker 1: house that was big into sports, but as I've matured,
14:18
Speaker 1: I've really fallen in love with football and soccer and
14:23
Speaker 1: some other sports. And one of the things that I've
14:25
Speaker 1: fallen in love with them is strategy and coaching and
14:30
Speaker 1: understanding like how plays are developed and designed and really
14:34
Speaker 1: these puzzles that it's more than just When I was young,
14:37
Speaker 1: I remember seeing like football and things just people hitting
14:41
Speaker 1: each other, and then you suddenly realize, oh no, there's
14:43
Speaker 1: a very very precise strategy. And when you were talking
14:46
Speaker 1: about working through some obstacles with a lender. I thought
14:50
Speaker 1: these got to be applicable to one another. Is what
14:53
Speaker 1: you do with coaching and what you do in real
14:57
Speaker 1: estate is really you know, putting those pieces together for
15:01
Speaker 1: that for that successful outcome.
15:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, and honestly, this last season was my first season
15:06
Speaker 5: as a high school coach.
15:08
Speaker 4: I've coached youth.
15:09
Speaker 5: My youngest is a freshman at Memorial, so I kind
15:11
Speaker 5: of coached his team and was asked to join the staff.
15:14
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, when I.
15:15
Speaker 5: Got to the high school level, Yeah, it's a whole
15:17
Speaker 5: new You want to talk about half a couple of
15:18
Speaker 5: the game plan? Yeah, you know, even working with on
15:21
Speaker 5: a freshman team and then helping out with the varsity team.
15:24
Speaker 5: Even at the freshman level, you have to come up
15:25
Speaker 5: with a game plan, So a lot of strategy involved,
15:28
Speaker 5: which is a lot like obviously being on a real letters.
15:31
Speaker 1: And Matt, I've got to ask too some of your
15:32
Speaker 1: job almost like being that head coach sometimes too, as
15:35
Speaker 1: I think of like you know, bringing in new new
15:38
Speaker 1: agents and coaching them up and getting them ready for
15:41
Speaker 1: their their role as you know, assistant coaches or well,
15:45
Speaker 1: some of that.
15:46
Speaker 2: Half of it's motivating them to keep striving forward. The
15:49
Speaker 2: other half is making sure they get don't get too
15:51
Speaker 2: low and they don't do well right, you know.
15:54
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's both sides.
15:56
Speaker 2: And it's just real state in general is you're gonna
15:58
Speaker 2: have your ups and you're gonna have your downs. And oh,
16:00
Speaker 2: Wisconsin climate in general effects that as well.
16:04
Speaker 3: So yeah, February March, we're almost through that.
16:06

18:06
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've shared this on air before.
18:07
Speaker 1: I worked in bowling alleys for twenty some years before
18:11
Speaker 1: getting into radio when I was a kid. First job
18:13
Speaker 1: ever at a bowling alley. I got paid to eat
18:15
Speaker 1: French fries and drink coke and fix pin setters.
18:18
Speaker 3: Man they broke twenty something years it must have been
18:20
Speaker 3: like five years old.
18:21
Speaker 1: Oh there's a great more to that. I'll tell you
18:23
Speaker 1: off the air, Okay, trust me. We're actually at the
18:26
Speaker 1: bowling alley I used to work at. They've they've now
18:28
Speaker 1: changed up. They've got string pin bowling now where the
18:31
Speaker 1: pins are all hanging on strings. And I got o
18:33
Speaker 1: have you saw either guys? Have I asked you this about?
18:35
Speaker 1: Have you guys sold the house with a bowling alley
18:37
Speaker 1: in it yet?
18:38
Speaker 4: No?
18:38
Speaker 3: I'm still working on that.
18:39
Speaker 1: And I ask you that question, Matt, that feels like
18:41
Speaker 1: it was a golf simulator. Oh, golf simulator, okay, which
18:43
Speaker 1: I have.
18:44
Speaker 3: So I got to find the bowling alley you do need?
18:47
Speaker 1: Well they're building is it shields one of those sporting
18:50
Speaker 1: goods building places not to and they they sell those
18:54
Speaker 1: string smaller versions of the small like duck pin. I
18:58
Speaker 1: don't know what those are, but maybe you could get
19:00
Speaker 1: one of those for the access a great dave. Speaking
19:03
Speaker 1: of if you are looking to have a house with
19:06
Speaker 1: the bowling alley, you probably got to build it specially.
19:08
Speaker 1: And if you're looking for a lot, I know somebody
19:11
Speaker 1: with six sacres that's got a fantastic lot that would
19:13
Speaker 1: have a beautiful house. You could build a house with
19:15
Speaker 1: a golf stimulator, a bowling alley, a beautiful garage for
19:19
Speaker 1: all your toys, or or you could you could build
19:23
Speaker 1: a small house and say, you know what, I'm just
19:25
Speaker 1: living here, living with nature and kind of doing my
19:28
Speaker 1: zen thing. Let's talk about this this featured listing this week, Jason.
19:31
Speaker 1: It's it's right in Marshall. It's really convenient. I was
19:34
Speaker 1: looking on the map during break and Highway t T.
19:37
Speaker 1: You can get pretty much anywhere from this lot, which
19:40
Speaker 1: is kind of the best of both worlds. You've got
19:42
Speaker 1: space and you've got convenience of Madison or the interstate.
19:45
Speaker 1: In generally you can go in Madison, Milwaukee, go anywhere
19:47
Speaker 1: from this place.
19:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's real easy access to the interstate. I think
19:50
Speaker 5: it's ten to fifteen minutes driving to Madison too. So
19:53
Speaker 5: you know, if you want to live out in the
19:54
Speaker 5: country and have less neighbors and less city traffic, but
19:58
Speaker 5: yet be able to get to get to working about
20:00
Speaker 5: ten to fifteen minutes and the east side there.
20:02
Speaker 1: How does we were talking earlier about financing for I
20:05
Speaker 1: know we've talked on the program in the past about
20:07
Speaker 1: about building financing for biling. How does financing for is
20:11
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess that there's probably a little bit
20:13
Speaker 1: different for lots, the financing is a little different, but
20:17
Speaker 1: obviously something that can easily be done, but it does
20:19
Speaker 1: a little slightly different process.
20:22
Speaker 4: I think so Mack could probably answer this question.
20:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it depends on the lender.
20:26
Speaker 2: But you know, they usually have construction loans available. Sometimes
20:30
Speaker 2: builders will offer the financing themselves so that you don't
20:34
Speaker 2: have to worry about going through the construction process and
20:37
Speaker 2: dealing with the financing. So yeah, it's called turnkey if
20:40
Speaker 2: it's the builder that's doing it. Otherwise it's a construction loan.
20:42
Speaker 1: What about if you don't want what do you want
20:44
Speaker 1: to buy a lot? I'm guessing that's probably a fairly
20:46
Speaker 1: simple loan process.
20:48
Speaker 3: There, portions pretty simple.
20:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you get too much acreage, then you have
20:52
Speaker 2: to kind of switch to other lenders that kind of
20:54
Speaker 2: specialize in that. So there are lenders out there that
20:57
Speaker 2: specialize more in the larger sized lots and then also
21:00
Speaker 2: at the farmland.
21:01
Speaker 1: So I've always wondered about how that how that all works,
21:04
Speaker 1: and now I know, And it's a great opportunity for
21:06
Speaker 1: you today. Been looking for a beautiful, beautiful parcel again,
21:09
