If you are looking for a suburban location, but want to keep drive times to a minimum, Brown Deer might be just the place! Located in the northeast section of Milwaukee County, Brown Deer is close to I43 for a quick commute south to downtown, or day trip north to Green Bay or weekend in Door County.
Brown Deer Park is a jewel in the county park
system with something for everyone, including a
championship golf course formerly on the PGA Tour!
The Interurban Bike trail starts in Brown Deer and goes
all the way to Sheboygan with many fun stops on the way.
Brown Deer history
starts way back with the first settlers in 1835. That
reminds me of a home I sold on Sherman Blvd that was one
of the oldest homes in the village, it actually had tree
limbs for the roof joists! While there are many stories
of how Brown Deer got its name, one of the best stories is
that of a card game going on in a saloon and a brown deer
jumped through the window!
Over the years the village grew in stages from small
cottages, to the ranches of the 50’s, larger colonials in
the 70’s & 80’s, and a flurry of newer construction in the
2000’s. One of those newer homes is currently for sale. A gorgeous newer home ready to move
into. A great location in a private wooded area, closer
to Mequon than most of Brown Deer!
Two unique points about Brown Deer make it a great place
to live. The school complex occupies a large square area
with ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON ONE CAMPUS, so from
Kindergarten through senior year classes, sports and extra
Curricular activities are in one area, VERY CONVENIENT for the busy
family! Another nice feature is the village hall, police
department and village park are located together. The
park is the home to the village swimming pond with a raft,
sand beach and new bathhouse.
Whether you are looking for a home in a suburb or the
city, call Pat Tasker 262-437-5853, today to discuss the
variety of suburbs in the Metro Milwaukee Area.

Ever wonder why so many homes go on the market, yet just a fraction of those homes actually go to a closing? While it is always a combination of location, condition and price, it really comes down to one thing: PRICE.
If a home is in a harder to sell location, it will sell with the right price. If the condition is poor, it will sell with the right price.
In today’s market it takes a COMPELLING PRICE to get your home chosen over the others it is competing against. Today’s market is a cross between a beauty contest and a pricing war. It has to look great AND be priced right. If not, it will linger on the market with the other homes….buyers will look, but without a compelling price, they will “keep looking.” You really want it priced where they leave and worry it might be gone if they don’t move fast. I call that the “worry price.”
The big question in a sellers mind is “How do I price it to sell, but not lose money by under pricing it?” That is when the help of an experienced Realtor is most important.
With 20+ years of experience I can read the market and tell you where your home needs to be priced to get it sold. This is not the market to choose just any agent, or a “friend in the business”. In today’s market, you need an expert, feel free to give me a call! Pat Tasker

Read that again, I said SUPER SUNDAY….Did you think I meant Super Bowl Sunday? Well that too! But when you work in the profession I do, every Sunday is Super Sunday.
Open houses abound and it is a chance for potential buyers to take a peek inside of homes they’ve seen online. It is a chance for sellers to open the door and show off the home they loved and now have on the market.
Every job has its plusses and minuses. Working weekends is just part of our job in real estate, and Sunday is one of the most productive because of open houses! THIS SUNDAY WILL BE NO DIFFERENT! The Super Bowl starts late afternoon, 
so even if you are going to a party, you have a chance to stop at some opens. For a full schedule, check out this link to view local open houses.
There is much hype about the Super Bowl, who’s playing, how they got there, who should have gotten there, who’s the half time entertainment and of course the commercials!
Monday morning there will be all the rehashing of the evenings entertainment and the outcome. Here are some top Super Bowl plays from years gone by.
Personally after what New Orleans has been through as a disaster city for the last few years, I’d love to see them go home winners….How about you? Other winners this weekend will be the buyers who get out there and find a dream home on Super Sunday!
