FOR SALE BY OWNER SUCCESS STORIES    Like so many others, my husband was sure he could sell our house himself. Location, Location, Location. We lived in a great neighborhood with incredible schools. It was the end of May-beginning of June, prime real estate season. How hard could it be? Price wise, we were really low for the area so it should only be a matter of days right? Well days turned into weeks and weeks into months. We had already purchased a new house and two mortgages was not something we could really handle. The relief when he told me he was ready to list the house with Team Benske (which I had wanted to do from the very beginning) was incredible. A weight had been lifted from my shoulders. We signed the paperwork and had a written offer in just over two weeks. There was no guess work, no question of what we need to do next. They handled everything. If I had any questions they were just a phone call away. I would definitely recommend Team Benske to anyone.   - Nicole Harju, Shorewood   My husband, John, is a real estate developer and has sold numerous condos that he has built, but when it came time to sell our personal residence, we found that was easier said than done. Our home in Whitefish Bay had a lovely location, beautiful backyard so we thought we’d save money on commission and put it up for sale ourselves. We read all about the appropriate staging, i.e. de-clutter, clean up, good smells, hide the cats, etc. But nothing happened. We had just a few scattered calls and as we’re approaching completion on our new home, we still had our existing home on the market. We had Team Benske take a look at our home a while ago when we had considered buying another home in the Bay area and were impressed with their knowledge of the North Shore – so after a frustrating few weeks of trying to sell ourselves, we brought in the big guns. Team Benske sat down with us and reviewed what we wanted to accomplish and how. We both said no open houses. Some Realtors might have headed for the hills with that upfront stipulation, but they were unfazed. They suggested a Realtor’s open which made more sense to us. There were a number of items on our checklist we wanted to accomplish before that open house occurred (painting the upstairs master bedroom and bath, pulling out old carpet), but Terry suggested that those items weren’t going to make or break the sale of the home. Ok with me; less work for us. After the Realtor’s open, Team Benske had calls coming in within hours. The first day on the market, the gentleman that ended up buying our house walked through. The house sold basically the first day on the market. With all the gloom and doom about the real estate market of late, we were thrilled that everything went so smoothly….from listing to closing…call Team Benske. -Deb Bernhardt, Whitefish Bay A very satisfied customer
