Thank You!

by

The first-ever Geneva National open community day was a renowned success!  As a member of the Welcome Committee I want to extend an enormous “Thank You” to all of our event supporters!  Over 50 properties within Geneva National held Open Houses that were well attended by visitors as they toured this beautiful community.

Geneva National Open Community Success

The gated, family-friendly community covers 1,800 acres and includes homes ranging from one-bedroom condos to million-dollar residences. The public was able to tour the entire property earlier this month for an exclusive look at the golf courses, clubhouse and newly renovated zero entry lap and family swimming pools.

Geneva National was founded 27 years ago and was intended to be a vacation/second home for people. Today, it is now a gated, family friendly, full residential community with new pool facilities, a new homeowner’s association building and a board with a focus on outreach. Geneva National, which sits on 1,800 acres, ranges from one-bedroom condos to million-dollar homes. It also features three premier golf courses.

Realtor Margaret Canfield Opens the Doors to Lake Geneva’s Top Gated Community

by

Lake Geneva Realtor Margaret Canfield, broker with @properties, is announcing a community open house for the Geneva National, Lake Geneva’s premier lifestyle community.

Margaret Canfield, broker with @properties in Lake Geneva, WI, is part of the newly formed Welcome Committee and they are spearheading an open house for the Geneva National gated community on June 2, 2018, from 12-4 p.m. “This is the first time in the history of Geneva National that the public will be allowed to get inside the residential gates and tour the community on their own,” said Canfield, a full-time Lake Geneva Realtor who specializes in transitional real estate due to the proximity to Chicago and its suburbs.

“The gates will be opened to the entire community during this very special event,” concluded Canfield. “Anyone can come in to take a look around, and you don’t have to be accompanied by a Realtor.”

Calling Outdated Counter Tops!

by

You may be reading about or being told that if your counter tops, carpeting, flooring etc. is over 10 years old then you need to rip it out otherwise your house is not marketable. That is an interesting position to take as a realtor. If you are like me, I use my home, and yes, at one time I was going to replace/rehab the baths, kitchen, flooring and so forth. But life took hold, the market changed and all of the sudden, it is not financially savvy to rip out the interior. Like yours, my listing price won’t give me a dime back. ‘The market did not stop at my own driveway!’.

As I view several homes on the market we are all in the same position. So, maybe the message is those parties don’t want to take on the time to list, market and sell your home. It will take longer. You already know you will have to adjust your price accordingly to the market conditions but should you put 75K into your home so that you can list it 75K less? That is a hard decision and I keep playing with my own numbers.

Maybe it is time to focus on the real estate being offered. That means the land, the structure, layout, design, views and the fact that there your home is the only one in this place, at this price at this time. If anything, Lake Geneva is not a large home builder area where we have 4 floorplans and 6 facades.

Virtual Staging of DenIf the buyer can see the value and is willing to renovate I have plenty of suppliers to send their way. Yes, it will cost money but then the Buyer will get what they want and so will you. The chance to move on, move away and recreate.

I have several tools in my back pocket such as virtual staging and floor plan design that will assist the new buyer with their own visualization. Give me a call to see what we can do together to get your home positioned for sale.
