KATIE'S HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2017

 

While my clients are the very best part of my business, this year provided me some amazing business opportunities.

 

 

After a tough round of competition for the interview process, the owners of this home chose me to be the agent to represent the sale of this iconic and coveted home. I can honestly say this home was one of the greatest and most exciting opportunities of my career on many different levels.

 

First, I had to come up with a pricing strategy for a home that had no like comparable homes in the neighborhood. How do you even do that? (that's a secret)

 

 

Next, I came up with a unique marketing strategy/drip campaign that included a blogpost about the house. To date it is my most viewed blogpost it received nearly 3,000 hits in the first week.

 

I told the sellers that I would stage the home personally. (See Highlight #5 for more about this)

 

We had over 80 people through the open house, and TWO offers on the property. In less than a week the home was sold. It was a historic sale, the highest price sold for a home off the lake in Bay View ever.

 

 

In September I wrote an article about Private Listings shortly after I had closed on my recent sale of a home in Mequon for $1,615,000. Navigating a high-end private sale takes tons of patience and finesse. All parties to the transaction had a pleasant experience, which is always the #1 goal. Considering how smooth this went and the fact that it was a career-high sale for me, this certainly goes down as an epic highlight.

 

Once again, in August, I found myself being interviewed for a listing and I was up against multiple agents (well-known agents in the North Shore). While I didn't know at the time that I had a competition or who it was, I just went into my appointment as myself.

 

A few days later, I received an email from the owner, saying that she selected me to represent her and her home in the sale process. The owner, a top lawyer, for a prominent large company based in Milwaukee, wrote the following to me in an email when she delivered the good news.

 

"We interviewed 4 North Shore selling agents, you have no equal in professionalism, knowledge of your market and audience, and creativity in marketing, as well as research/preparedness for the meeting - thank you for that!"
