Rep. Evan Goyke (D-Milwaukee) discusses the Democratic point of view of the GOP-authored state budget. Most legislative Democrats voted against the budget signed into law by Gov. Tony Evers last month. That begs the question: how will the property tax and income tax cuts impact the midterm elections in 2022? Listen in as Rep. Goyke and the WRA’s EVP Tom Larson discuss the $85 billion state budget.

SAFETY ALERT: THERE IS A NEW SCAM IN OUR MARKETPLACE |
|
Remind your sellers that if anyone comes to their home and tells them that they are from a real estate company or title company and are there to notarize real estate documents for a fee, that is a scam.
We believe the scammers are targeting homes with for sale signs or are looking at online data. One report describes a scammer as being a middle-aged woman driving a black Nissan. She shows a driver’s license as identification. One seller told the scammer that he wasn't expecting her, and she opened her phone to show an appointment with "Coast to Coast" and a fee of $75. When asked what she was hired to notarized, she said "signatures for the sale". The seller called his agent and the agent advised his seller that this was a scam.

KEEP YOUR CLIENTS IN THE LOOP ON LOCAL EVENTS |
|
Here’s another was to stay in-touch with your client base: Let them know about events, meetings and festivities in their community. The GMAR has compiled a list of official municipal websites in the four-county area.
Let your clients know when local parades are scheduled, important local meetings are being held, or how to sign up for municipal newsletters; use this resource as you see fit.
Along with being knowledgeable about local housing markets, now you can share your knowledge of your local community.
