Shorewest isn’t just a great real estate company, it’s much more than that. Kelly & I are independent contractors which means we can work any where we want. We chose Shorewest because they make us feel like we are all part of one big family. We truly are independent, but we have such wonderful support. That support ranges from the executive offices, to our office managers and assistant manager all the way to the other agents we work with in our offices. We all support one another. Everyone here truly wants everyone to exceed. That is evident when you look at all of the great training tools we are offered on a daily basis. There are always computer classes to learn about the ever changing technology available to us. We have weekly meetings as well. Every year, we have an October Round Table event where agents are asked to talk about their successes & train fellow agents to be successful as well. Throughout the year, Shorewest brings in top notch trainers and offers various classes so that we can earn different designations, and continue to learn. There are other great things that we have come to enjoy while working for Shorewest as well. We have the Number One market share in southeastern Wisconsin, and are the Number Ten Real Estate Company in the nation! Why would we want to work anywhere else? If you are thinking of making a career change, we would be happy to get you a tour of our Executive offices or get you a meeting with one of our great office managers. Contact us to get started! The Kuchta’s- Kelly and Colleen.

If you are one of the thousands of home sellers out there trying to get a nibble, you are not alone. In fact, if you are in Milwaukee County, there are 4,491 homes competing for a buyer. Washington County has 1,019 available homes, and Waukesha County boasts 2,837 homes looking for a new family. So, getting a buyer to like your home more than all of the rest is no easy task.
Here are a few helpful tips:
* Understand that unemployment and the struggling economy has all but destroyed consumer confidence.
* Realize that today’s buyer has plenty of homes to chose from. These buyers are only interested in the home THEY consider priced correctly.
* Know that the economic situation will take some time to correct. It will probably take 5-7 years before we see 2006 pricing.
* Prioritize your needs over wants. Take an honest look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place. Is money more important than being closer to family or your health? Or better yet, is money more important than moving on with your life?
In essence, you need to take the emotion out of the equation. If you can take a step back and look at the big picture, chances are, you will have a more pleasing outcome. Don’t forget - we are here to help! The Kuchtas, Kelly & Colleen www.thekuchtas.shorewest.com.

“Grab a tissue, dry your eyes and lower the price”
A recent quote I heard directed towards sellers of real estate.
There is still time to make it all happen–that is, sell your house and get an accepted offer on a new house, before April 30th, in order to take advantage of the tax credit.
All it takes is that tissue!

Since its origin in 1946, Shorewest, REALTORS® has always been a family-owned company dedicated to helping other families in Wisconsin. We’ve grown from a one-person office in Wauwatosa to 27 sales offices covering a twelve-county area. And the Shorewest “family” now includes over 1,700 people as committed to Wisconsin as the day John A. Horning started the company out of his home over 60 years ago.
Today, the Shorewest family of companies includes Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation, Heritage Title Services, Shorewest Real Estate Institute and Shorewest Insurance Associates, plus Home Closing, Marketing, Information Technology, Home Services, Career Development and Relocation Center divisions.
Staying true to our mission and values.
Midwestern values like hard work, dedication and a family-first philosophy are deeply ingrained in the people of Shorewest. As a family-owned company since 1946, all of us are driven every day by the following mission statement, adopted October 1986:
We are a team…
Proudly independent;
Dedicated to serving the housing needs of Wisconsin;
Committed to unsurpassed customer service;
Pledged to share our talents for mutual growth and prosperity.

Steady leadership for the road ahead.
Joe and John Horning
Joe and John P. Horning represent the third generation of leadership at Shorewest, having taken the reins in 2002. Joe (President) and John P. (Executive Vice President) joined Shorewest after college and have since proven themselves as accomplished business leaders.
The people who make it all happen.
You don’t become Wisconsin’s Largest Home Seller™ without an exceptional sales staff. At Shorewest, our 1,300-plus associates know the market and are driven to put your needs first. With 27 offices located throughout Wisconsin—each with a full-time manager for support—you’ll get the responsiveness you need whether you’re buying or selling a home.
