Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should we list our home for sale with you?

I became a realtor after a bad experience when buying a home.  I wanted to offer something different – a complete service from someone who cares and will actually take the time to do things right.  My clients and customers know that they can depend on me to get them the most money, in the shortest amount of time, with the fewest hassles – all while being personable and friendly, not cold and distant.

My BlueJay Way marketing system offers benefits that most agents do not. My program offers flexible commissions to put more money in your pocket, a cancel anytime policy, and the right to sell your home yourself and pay me nothing.

Q: What is your no risk guarantee? 

I offer the following commission scale:
If you list with me and another agent finds the buyer, you pay 6%.
If you list with me and I find the buyer, you pay 4%.
If you list with me and you find the buyer as the result of your own efforts (not a result of any of my efforts), you pay NOTHING!  And I guarantee you pay nothing, therefore there is NO RISK!

Q: Can we cancel at anytime? 

Absolutely.  My philosophy is if you're not happy, the relationship just won't be beneficial to you or me. I am confident I can provide a high level of service and care. If I don't, I don't deserve your business.

Q: You offer limited services as well. Why shouldn't I go that route?

Limited service simply does not get you the exposure or benefits that you would get with my full service marketing plan.   I offer benefits like "Maid for a Day," moving boxes, a home warranty, and much, much more.  I cannot offer these for the limited service plan.
Additionally, with the NO RISK GUARANTEE you could potentially pay nothing.  A much better deal than the limited service option!

Q: Tell me about your marketing plan.

The exposure your home gets while listed with me can be found throughout this website by starting here.

Q: What internet Web sites will my home be featured on?

Your home will also be prominently featured on Realtor.com (the #1 site for home searches), WisconsinHomes.com, DealDirectHomes.com, JasonNiosi.com, and CraigsList.com among others. 

Q: If we list with you, will we be on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?

Absolutely!

Q: Shouldn't I choose an agent who knows the area to sell my home?

Most realtors would say yes.  I disagree.  I have listed and sold properties in areas more than two hours away.

However, as gas prices rise, it makes sense for me to limit my full service offering to Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, Ozaukee, Washington and counties. 

The bottom line is you need to trust who you are working with.

Q: Once I have reviewed your BlueJay Way 50-point Marketing Plan, what is the next step?

Contact me by email to set up an appointment for us to meet.

Q: How long does it take to get my home on the market?

View my marketing plan to see what I can do within 24 hours of a signed listing agreement.

Q: How do you set the price for my home?

I will provide a correct market position of your home, evaluate supply and demand for the area, and examine property condition. At that point, we can discuss the appropriate listing price that works for you.

Q: My home needs some repairs. Do you know any service people that can help?

We have a number of service people whom we have used in the past and are happy to recommend to you.

Q: How long is your listing agreement for?

I typically use a six month period. But remember, you are free to cancel anytime.
