We Need More Fans!
Not the GMAR, we have plenty of loyal fans!

Many veterans, transitioning from the streets to an apartment, or temporary living dwellings do so without basic home furnishings. Help keep our vets comfortable this summer.

Here's how you can help:
  • We will take new, or gently used fans at the GMAR office or directly at the MHVI - 6300 W National Ave, West Allis, WI 53214.
  • Make a check payable to "MVHI" and mail to Scott Bush at the GMAR.
  • $20.00 will count as one fan.
  • If you donate directly to MVHI, let Scott know so we can add your name/company to the challenge fan above.

Please contact Scott Bush if you have any questions.
Episode 18 : Specific Seller Terms - LIVE today July 8 at 9:00am
A seller's market creates opportunities for the seller to establish some of their own terms.

Look back on previous episodes in the "Being Competitive" Miniseries.
Cas h offers can have potential pros and cons from the buyer's and seller's points of view.
When a buyer chooses not to include a home inspection contingency in the offer, what does that mean for you as the agent?
To say that sellers are receiving multiple offers on most listings is a huge understatement.
