0:44
Speaker 1: And we'll talk a little bit about your experience at
0:47
Speaker 1: Rock Realty and a little bit about a little bit
0:49
Speaker 1: about you. But before we get to that conversation, something
0:52
Speaker 1: that's been very, very popular is the weekly featured listing,
0:56
Speaker 1: and Matt, you always bring fantastic properties to talk of
1:00
Speaker 1: out this week is no exception of house in McFarland
1:02
Speaker 1: this week.
1:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, our age.
1:04
Speaker 3: It has been putting out a lot, a lot of
1:06
Speaker 3: listings and getting a lot of them accepted offers on them,
1:09
Speaker 3: and so this.
1:10
Speaker 2: One, this one's a McFarland.
1:12
Speaker 3: Hard to find anything under three hundred thousand dollars in McFarland.
1:15
Speaker 3: So I thought listeners might like this forty seven zero
1:19
Speaker 3: seven Burma Road in McFarland, and it's listed for two
1:23
Speaker 3: eighty nine nine hundred. It's a condo, it's two bedrooms,
1:27
Speaker 3: one and a half bath, it's got an attached single
1:31
Speaker 3: car garage and even has some finished space in the basement.
1:36
Speaker 2: Really Yeah.
1:38
Speaker 3: The other thing nice about it is it's got some
1:41
Speaker 3: lower level storage that's kind of an exclusive, not some
1:45
Speaker 3: sort of a condo locker that you have to share
1:47
Speaker 3: with other people, but it's kind of part of the
1:49
Speaker 3: unit there. So, great location McFarland, obviously easy to get
1:54
Speaker 3: to Madison, and a great price.
1:57
Speaker 1: And it's pretty a pretty darn good price there, of course.
1:59
Speaker 1: And you call Ashley this morning you want to set
2:02
Speaker 1: up a viewing, all I got to do is call
2:03
Speaker 1: Ashley nine two zero fifty. Let me start all over
2:06
Speaker 1: with that nine two zero five five nine thirteen thirty four.
2:10
Speaker 1: That's five to five nine thirteen thirty four in the
2:13
Speaker 1: nine two zero area code. And I called it right
2:16
Speaker 1: away when I, and I think probably a lot of
2:18
Speaker 1: folks do this is right away you're looking at the
2:20
Speaker 1: pictures and checking out what you can see.
2:23
Speaker 2: And with that as we as.
2:26
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this, at this condo, it's the from
2:29
Speaker 1: the outside even, I mean, just beautiful, kind of like
2:32
Speaker 1: guard I think that might actually describe in part of
2:35
Speaker 1: about this home, kind of like a garden you kind
2:37
Speaker 1: of feel as you walk into the entry where it's
2:39
Speaker 1: it's very well tied in with its natural surroundings.
2:43
Speaker 3: I think might be the Yeah, I would say so,
2:44
Speaker 3: I mean, you can call it a garden style, but
2:46
Speaker 3: it's kind of set alone in almost a ranch style layout,
2:50
Speaker 3: surrounded by a lot of trees. Just does gives it
2:53
Speaker 3: a very home home we feel, not necessarily a condo feel.
2:56
Speaker 2: Are are like these townhouses condos? Those?
3:00
Speaker 1: Are they more popular in Dane County in this area
3:03
Speaker 1: than maybe other parts of the country because it seems
3:05
Speaker 1: like we have a lot of really really nice developments
3:08
Speaker 1: in that area.
3:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say in general, Dane County tends to
3:10
Speaker 3: have more condos. I think you see more condos as
3:14
Speaker 3: you get to more dense population where people are just
3:17
Speaker 3: looking for affordable housing. You know, when you're out in
3:20
Speaker 3: the suburbs, you're not going to see as many, you know,
3:22
Speaker 3: when you're out Oregon and McFarland and such like that. McFarland,
3:26
Speaker 3: you know, they've started to build some new ones right
3:28
Speaker 3: off a whole shore road and such in the past
3:30
Speaker 3: few years. So I think the suburbs of Madison are
3:33
Speaker 3: starting to catch up a bit and get some more
3:35
Speaker 3: condo projects in there because there's just a high demand
3:37
Speaker 3: for trying to get some affordable living with you know,
3:39
Speaker 3: the interest rates and the house prices where they are.
3:41
Speaker 1: It's a real comfortable neighborhood too, kind of tucked away,
3:44
Speaker 1: kind a little bit of a secret area as well,
3:46
Speaker 1: So definitely want to check that out. It's mentioned we've
3:48
Speaker 1: got a special guest in studio this morning from Rock Realty,
3:51

5:10
Speaker 1: about your background there.
5:11
Speaker 4: I've been with Rock and Royalty for about four going
5:14
Speaker 4: on five years. Actually Mike Collins approached me. We had
5:20
Speaker 4: it closing together and he kind of started filling in
5:23
Speaker 4: with Rockyalty, and I wasn't exactly happy with where I
5:25
Speaker 4: was at.
5:26
Speaker 2: Before, so.
5:29
Speaker 4: I made the move in June of I believe twenty nineteen,
5:33
Speaker 4: excellent came over to Rock Realty.
5:34
Speaker 2: What do you love most like?
5:35
Speaker 1: When I know there's probably got to be a billion
5:38
Speaker 1: different aspects to what it is that you get to
5:40
Speaker 1: do each and every day, But what's kind of that
5:42
Speaker 1: one thing that you know when you get up in
5:44
Speaker 1: the morning. What do you look forward to most about
5:46
Speaker 1: working with Rock Realty?
5:48
Speaker 4: I do like that the broker just growing, and that
5:51
Speaker 4: all the agents are more than willing to help you
5:53
Speaker 4: out if you need the help. They're all very knowledgeable
5:56
Speaker 4: and friendly, you know so, and then obviously Rock Realty
6:02
Speaker 4: provides a bunch of different opportunities to succeed, whether you're
6:08
Speaker 4: experienced or a new.
6:09
Speaker 1: Agent's that's interesting too, Matt is to bring you in
6:12
Speaker 1: as we're talking with Billy Shipler with Rock Realty as well.
6:16
Speaker 1: That team approach is I know that people would I
6:19
Speaker 1: would encourage people to head on over to Rock Wisconsin
6:22
Speaker 1: dot com not only to check out the listings, but
6:25
Speaker 1: what a team of folks you have put together at
6:28
Speaker 1: Rock Really how many agents do you guys have at
6:30
Speaker 1: Rock Realty.
6:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're sitting around thirty seven or thirty
6:33
Speaker 3: eight at the moment.
6:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that.
6:36
Speaker 3: You know, we had decided to set up the brokers
6:40
Speaker 3: so that the agents had training, opportunity and support. You know,
6:44
Speaker 3: there's a lot of firms that you can get one
6:46
Speaker 3: or two, but it's very rare.
6:47
Speaker 1: That you get all three.
6:49
Speaker 3: And we try to make sure that our agents are
6:51
Speaker 3: not only trained and have the support by you know,
6:53
Speaker 3: being able to ask questions and getting answers immediately, but
6:56
Speaker 3: also have opportunities. So, you know, we have a lot
6:59
Speaker 3: of a lot of buyer leads seller leads going out
7:01
Speaker 3: to our agents to help make them successful. As long
7:04
Speaker 3: as they're working hard, they can they can find success
7:06
Speaker 3: in the business.
7:07
Speaker 1: Do you see a lot of a lot of the
7:08
Speaker 1: agents kind of working together as far as not just
7:11
Speaker 1: a buyer seller, but maybe listing agents saying Hey, here's
7:14
Speaker 1: something that I've that I've observed, Like you think about
7:17
Speaker 1: kind of that institutional knowledge of of you know, all
7:20
Speaker 1: of us have our own experiences, even those and you
7:22
Speaker 1: know we all have let's say, all work in the
7:24
Speaker 1: same career, all work in real estate. There are certain
7:27
Speaker 1: things that that people possess that others may not. Having
7:30
Speaker 1: that that opportunity not just to gain the knowledge, but
7:33
Speaker 1: having a team around you to share the knowledge with
7:35
Speaker 1: and also receive some of the knowledge. It's got to
7:38
Speaker 1: be a huge benefit for your agents and of course
7:40
Speaker 1: ultimately for your sellers and buyers that having that institutional
7:45
Speaker 1: knowledge around them.
7:45
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely.
7:46
Speaker 3: And you know, as a new agent, the biggest thing
7:48
Speaker 3: is just to have the confidence that you're proceeding in
7:51
Speaker 3: the right manner, right, but not to be afraid to
7:53
Speaker 3: take that step right. So if you have a group
7:55
Speaker 3: of people there where you can bounce questions off of,
7:57
Speaker 3: you can say, hey, you know, here's what I always
7:59
Speaker 3: thinking for a list price, what are your guys' opinion? Hey,
8:02
Speaker 3: I'm in a situation where a home inspection, what are
8:04
Speaker 3: your what are your guys' thoughts?
8:05
Speaker 2: It's great.
8:06
Speaker 3: And then on top of that to have the backing
8:08
Speaker 3: of people that would you know, show up and take
8:11
Speaker 3: care of a showing for you if you have a
8:12
Speaker 3: last minute emergency. It's a it's a big deal. You know.
8:15
Speaker 1: We were going to talk with with Billy this morning
8:17
Speaker 1: as well about about a recent listing and you already
8:20
Speaker 1: got an offer.
8:20
Speaker 2: That one's that one's that one's going to thing.
8:23
Speaker 1: And I've got to ask you, as we talked this
8:25
Speaker 1: morning with Billy Shippler with with Rock Realty, Billy, I've
8:27
Speaker 1: got to ask you, that's got to be a big
8:30
Speaker 1: deal for you. It's getting the chance to help people
8:33
Speaker 1: sell homes buy homes, and like especially I think of
8:36
Speaker 1: like like younger couples, people just starting a family, like
8:39
Speaker 1: really getting into their you know, getting into starting their lives.
8:43
Speaker 1: Having that opportunity to work with them and know that
8:45
Speaker 1: you've really had such a profound impact on their life
8:49
Speaker 1: going forward by your hard work.
8:52
Speaker 4: Yeah. I definitely like helping first time home buyers, especially
8:57
Speaker 4: like going through the process ed you kate in them
9:00
Speaker 4: about the process, helping them through some of the I
9:04
Speaker 4: like calling speed bumps that might arise through a real
9:06
Speaker 4: estate transaction and then obviously making it to the closing
9:10
Speaker 4: table and seeing their excitement and smiles with me hand
9:13
Speaker 4: them the keys over, you know, after signing one hundred
9:16
Speaker 4: and fifty pages of documents.
9:19
Speaker 2: But I always I.
9:21
Speaker 1: Remember when we bought our house and they and at
9:23
Speaker 1: the at the title company, they come out, they bring
9:27
Speaker 1: you like this whole thing of pens, and you're like,
9:30
Speaker 1: why do I need multiple pens? And you quickly realize
9:33
Speaker 1: you may go through a couple.
9:35
Speaker 3: I tell everybody to you know, obviously there's a lot
9:38
Speaker 3: more pages involved when you're you're a mortgage lenders involved, right, Yeah,
9:41
Speaker 3: well yeah, I tell everybody to hydrate and stretch out
9:43
Speaker 3: their fingers. You know, you don't want to cramp up
9:45
Speaker 3: during this process.
9:46
Speaker 1: So talking this morning with Matt Hyman and Billy Shippler
9:49
Speaker 1: of Rock Realty Online Rock Wisconsin dot com that's r
9:53
Speaker 1: O c K Wisconsin dot com. Tell forh number six
9:56
Speaker 1: to eight six seven three fifty four hundred. That's six
9:59
Speaker 1: seven three four hundred Billy. It was we talked about,
10:02
Speaker 1: you know, some of the great experiences helping folks get
10:04
Speaker 1: into get into homes. There are obviously challenges along the
10:07
Speaker 1: way as well. Anything that you've that you're like, oh
10:09
Speaker 1: my goodness, like a challenge you've run into that that
10:12
Speaker 1: you're like, I I obviously learned a lot, but while
10:15
Speaker 1: it was an amazing, amazing process to kind of get
10:18
Speaker 1: through that.
10:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think one of the biggest challenges is a
10:22
Speaker 4: home inspection. You know, you've got good home inspectors and
10:28
Speaker 4: sadly they say there's some bad home inspectors, you know,
10:31
Speaker 4: but one of the biggest challenges is the minute the
10:33
Speaker 4: home inspector mentions like foundation issues, you know, are a
10:37
Speaker 4: bad roof, you know, and then you gotta get specialists
10:40
Speaker 4: in that field to come in and let them know,
10:42
Speaker 4: you know, really it's not that big of a deal,
10:45
Speaker 4: or or yeah, we're gonna you might have issues coming
10:47
Speaker 4: down the road.
10:48
Speaker 1: Do you know working with like, for example, home inspectors,
10:51
Speaker 1: is that something as let's say I'm a perspective buyer.
10:55
Speaker 1: Would I choose them or would the seller or who
10:57
Speaker 1: kind of picks that that is that the mortgage company
11:00
Speaker 1: saying hey, we want we want this company to do it,
11:03
Speaker 1: or how does that typically work?
11:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, So a lot of times my buyers I ask,
11:06
Speaker 4: you know, do you know any home inspectors? So I
11:08
Speaker 4: do have a list of preferred home inspectors that that
11:11
Speaker 4: I give my buyers, but obviously I also tell them
11:15
Speaker 4: to do their due diligence. You don't look at the
11:17
Speaker 4: reviews online. If you don't really like any of them
11:20
Speaker 4: that I'm given you, then feel free to look on
11:22
Speaker 4: the internet and pick one of your own.
11:24
Speaker 1: There are some amazing tools online as we speak this
11:26
Speaker 1: morning with Billy and Matt. Of course, they come to
11:29
Speaker 1: us from Rockrealty. Speaking of being online and great tools,
11:31

11:47
Speaker 1: a little mental break. I'll kind of just start scrolling
11:49
Speaker 1: through some of the homes. Definitely do that today Rock

12:16

Speaker 1: in studio this morning with Matt Heyman and Billy Shipler

12:30
Speaker 1: seven three fifty four hundred. That's sixty seven three.
12:33
Speaker 2: Fifty four hundred.
12:34
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about our featured listening more
12:35
Speaker 1: details on that in just a moment, and continue our
12:37
Speaker 1: conversation as well with Billy.
12:38
Speaker 2: But first talk before the break about things being on
12:42
Speaker 2: the computers.
12:42
Speaker 1: And this makes me sound old because for most young people,
12:46
Speaker 1: they're saying, I know what a computer is, but I
12:49
Speaker 1: use a different kind of computer my phone, and apps
12:51
Speaker 1: are where it's at.
12:53
Speaker 2: I did not know this. Matt, you have an app?
12:55
Speaker 2: Yes for that, we do.
12:56
Speaker 3: Yeah. So as you know, some of the major sites
13:00
Speaker 3: like a Zillo and reeltor have an app that you
13:02
Speaker 3: can download on your phone. Well, we developed one too,
13:04
Speaker 3: had one developed that most people are saying is easier
13:07
Speaker 3: to search and easier to use than both those main sites.
13:10
Speaker 3: So we're pretty excited about it. It allows you to
13:13
Speaker 3: set up your own custom home searches allows you to
13:17
Speaker 3: you know, kind of circle a map area and you know,
13:20
Speaker 3: find all the listings that are in there. And the
13:21
Speaker 3: most important thing is immediately when a new listing comes
13:25
Speaker 3: on the market, you get a push notification. Really, so
13:27
Speaker 3: if you got your save search set up just right,
13:30
Speaker 3: you'll be maybe one of the first people through the door.
13:33
Speaker 1: Oh that's fantastic. And just MLS dot rocks, slash app.
13:37
Speaker 3: Yep, MLS dot r o c k S slash app.
13:42
Speaker 1: So got to give me a little hard time because
13:45
Speaker 1: again back to old man, I'm typing and typing and
13:50
Speaker 1: so it's MLS dot Rocks slash app and apps are powerful.
13:55
Speaker 1: Apps are convenient at the end of the day though,
13:57
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of folks it's a great,
13:58
Speaker 1: a phenomenal tool to find things. When it comes to
14:02
Speaker 1: some of the paperwork kind of things, you really want
14:03
Speaker 1: to be working with a human on that. And that's
14:05
Speaker 1: one of these areas where we talk with Billy. So
14:07
Speaker 1: they people get a chance to to you know, they've
14:10
Speaker 1: got these great tools and say, hey, Billy, I love
14:12
Speaker 1: this house I just saw on the app A little
14:13
Speaker 1: got a little alert. Can you show me can you do?
14:16
Speaker 1: This type of thing is having that bridge between the
14:20
Speaker 1: very powerful, fantastic tools of the apps and the website
14:23
Speaker 1: and actually then having that bridge to a person that
14:25
Speaker 1: can actually help navigate for a lot of folks, I've
14:28
Speaker 1: got to guess that that is a really really good
14:30
Speaker 1: experience and to have both the power and the professional
14:34
Speaker 1: to kind of walk and work through those kind of
14:36
Speaker 1: things for you. When you when you're meeting with people,
14:38
Speaker 1: are they often coming to you initially saying I saw
14:40
Speaker 1: this online, I saw this on the app. Or is
14:42
Speaker 1: it people calling up and saying, hey, I drove by
14:44
Speaker 1: a house or where are you kind of finding people
14:47
Speaker 1: or where are people kind of making that initial connection.
14:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of the initial connection does come from
14:52
Speaker 4: you know, online apps, whether it's through realtor dot Com, zillow.
14:56
Speaker 4: And then you know, once we get connected with them,
14:59
Speaker 4: we try to find id out what's important to them
15:01
Speaker 4: in a home, you know, and we set up a
15:04
Speaker 4: search for them. A lot of times, you know, I'll
15:06
Speaker 4: try to get them into the house that they initially
15:09
Speaker 4: contacted us through and then have a further and deeper
15:12
Speaker 4: discussion with them at that property and what they're looking for.
15:15
Speaker 1: Does that does it help having like a property in mind,
15:18
Speaker 1: or let's just say, somebody, I think I just as
15:20
Speaker 1: you were mentioning that, like, let's just say, I'm like,
15:22
Speaker 1: I haven't found a specific house yet, but here's kind
15:25
Speaker 1: of what I'm looking for.
15:27
Speaker 2: Does that is that helpful as well? Or does having
15:29
Speaker 2: like a.
15:30
Speaker 1: House that's out there saying this is the one that
15:32
Speaker 1: we really like and or does either way kind of
15:34
Speaker 1: work for you as far as kind of starting that
15:36
Speaker 1: putting together those those houses you want to show them.
15:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, either way it really works. I've found that one
15:43
Speaker 4: of the most important things is when an individual's looking
15:47
Speaker 4: for a home is just get them into the homes.
15:49
Speaker 4: You know, as they're walking through more and more homes,
15:52
Speaker 4: they kind of realize, you know, what they're actually looking
15:54
Speaker 4: for and what or I should say, what's important to
15:57
Speaker 4: them and what's not really that important to them, So
15:59
Speaker 4: their needs and once, you know, can change. Once we'd
16:02
Speaker 4: start going through these homes.
16:03
Speaker 1: You have people that are that originally coming to say
16:05
Speaker 1: we're looking for a ranch and ended up getting like
16:07
Speaker 1: a two story Yeah.
16:09
Speaker 4: Quite often actually, Yeah, I mean I've had a lot
16:12
Speaker 4: of buyers, you know, we end up closing on a
16:14
Speaker 4: home that it does not even fit their original parameters.
16:17
Speaker 4: So it happens quite often.
16:19
Speaker 1: And how much is that from you knowing kind of
16:22
Speaker 1: as you're talking with these people, knowing, Okay, this this
16:25
Speaker 1: may be something actually, and maybe I'm watching too many
16:28
Speaker 1: shows on TV where they're like they're they're like, this
16:31
Speaker 1: may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I
16:34
Speaker 1: think you really want to see this home. How much
16:36
Speaker 1: of that that comes from your experience of saying even
16:38
Speaker 1: though they're saying I'm looking for a ranch, you knowing that, hey,
16:42
Speaker 1: you know what, we've got a great, great multi level here,
16:44
Speaker 1: that that may actually be something that fits this family better.
16:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. You know you kind of try to
16:50
Speaker 4: figure out, you know, the family aspects. You know, you
16:52
Speaker 4: know how many kids they have, even pets could kind
16:56
Speaker 4: of get involved with the decision making, you know, on
16:58
Speaker 4: the size of the yard, you know, layouts of the
17:01
Speaker 4: homes and stuff like that. So yeah, you know, you
17:03
Speaker 4: try to use your knowledge and get them into the
17:05
Speaker 4: homes that you feel fit their needs, you know, as
17:08
Speaker 4: good as you can get.
17:09
Speaker 1: Basically, I know, when I was looking at a looking
17:12
Speaker 1: for buying a house, something that was low on my
17:15
Speaker 1: priority was a garage. I just needed a place to
17:18

Speaker 1: the pictures for the house in McFarland beautiful, kind of
19:11

19:20
Speaker 1: good time right now. I know a lot of times

Speaker 1: buy a home right now.
19:29

Speaker 3: last stats I was looking at was that there's about
19:34
Speaker 3: twenty five percent less buyers this year than this time
19:38
Speaker 3: of year than in the summer. And you're getting some
19:41
Speaker 3: price drops on listing, so you can have less competition.
19:44
Speaker 3: You can get in here before the winter. Nobody wants
19:47
Speaker 3: to move in the winter, so no.
19:49
Speaker 2: It's a great time.
19:50

19:53
