Thoughts from Charcoal Valley

Four rules of firearms safety... The nine-day WI deer gun season is upon us and, as a certified WI Hunter Education Instructor I'd like to make a little reminder to everyone venturing into the woods soon:
1. Treat every firearm as if it was loaded.
2. Be sure of your target AND beyond it.
3. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
4. Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to fire.

Enjoying the outdoors can be a most rewarding and pleasant activity but it can also be tragic.  Some things you cannot control but some things you can.  Being safe, and expressing that same expectation to your hunting partners is one of the things you can control.  So don't hesitate to talk about the excitement of seeing that buck coming into view but be sure to discuss how to handle your excitement and to make good, safe decisions.

Hunt safe, hunt hard,
craig and dennis

I hope you are getting out to enjoy the beauty of God's Creation.  If you are thinking of securing a piece of that beauty to call your own by all means give us a call.  It's a great time to be a buyer! 

By the way:  We invite all our customers, clients and friends to send us pictures of them enjoying the great outdoors for inclusion in our new website.  Whether it is a picture of your big buck, your first doe, a turkey or maybe just a photo of you or your family enjoying your property, we'd love to put the spotlight on you! (All images will become property of Charcoal Valley Realty, Inc and submission of these photos implies your permission for use). 



 


We'd love to work with you on the purchase of recreation property but we'd first like to invite you to consider the following:  "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" Matthew 6:33 (NIV)  This wise counsel is found in the Bible.  If this kind of wisdom intrigues you and you don't know much about the Bible or Jesus Christ please feel free to contact us.  We'd love to share the greatest Gift of all with you!

Buying a Parcel of Land

"Buying a parcel of land is not just another Real Estate deal. You have very specific needs and desires that can best be understood by someone with similar interests. We are avid outdoorsmen, participating in just about every type of hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, cross-country skiing, ATV, bird-dog training...The list just keeps going. We understand what makes a hunting parcel special and can get you all the statistical information you may desire to evaluate your purchase in advance."
 
 
Your best bet is "The Recreation Specialist!"



Information for Buyers

Buyers:
First things first! When you are thinking of making a recreation property purchase there are a number of steps you need to take to be ready. First of all is to be sure you know what types of use interest you. How frequently will you visit the parcel? How far are you willing to drive to get there? How much acreage do you desire? And of course, how much can you really afford?
 
When it comes to money there are a number of common impediments to a smooth purchase. The single most common hold-up is the financial qualification process. The simplest solution for serious buyers is to meet with their lender for pre-qualification. This means the lender will evaluate your financial circumstances and determine things like how much down-payment you'll need, how much they are willing to lend you, requirements for geographic areas they are willing to lend in and much more. If you really want to buy a property you can dramatically enhance your chances of getting what you want, when you want it, by getting these answers on the front end of the search for your recreation getaway.
 
It is always a prudent course to consult with an attorney and tax accountant to determine what path is most beneficial to you. Have you done this yet? This counsel is not the Real Estate broker's responsibility. The broker can facilitate the sale process but cannot give advice on legal or tax matters.



Information for Sellers

Sellers: Attention Wisconsin Land Owners
Thinking of selling? Want to benefit by hiring the services of a Broker who specializes in what you have? Contact Charcoal Valley Realty for a free market analysis of your parcel and see the difference a specialist makes!
 
If you have a parcel of land to sell that has a recreational use, you should deal with a broker who specializes in recreational land. In many cases this is the highest and best use of the property and may bring the best return on your investment. That's why we're here!
 
When selling a parcel of property, you can help the process by having certain reference materials available at the time you list your property. For instance: locate your prior title policy or abstract of title, surveys of record, aerial photos if you have them, any applicable farm or forestry management program documents. These items will be needed and if available at the beginning can speed up the sale process.
 
Have you contacted an attorney and/or accountant for expert counsel on the most beneficial path regarding the sale of your property? Your Real Estate broker is a facilitator of the sale process, not an expert on legal or tax matters. It is always wise for you to consult with qualified experts to protect your interests.


Is Buyer Agency for You?

There is an alternative to the traditional process for buying property now through what is known as Buyer Agency. Both Craig and Dennis have advanced credentials as Accredited Buyer's Agents in this great new opportunity for buyers.  In this way you, as the buyer, can have our experience and expertise working to your advantage.
 
Unless you hire the broker as your agent, they'll be working for the seller - trying to get the most money possible for their land while being fair and honest with all parties. That is what Wisconsin Real Estate law requires.
 
As the buyer's agent, the broker can locate and negotiate-using all of their experience and market knowledge to your advantage.
 
Buyer's agency can save you time and money as the broker searches for your desired property. It gives you access to a much larger pool of potential properties.
 
If you are serious about buying property, why not have an expert agent on your side?
 
Ask Craig or Dennis for details!
