 I have always taken pride in the fact that I am pretty close to what I weighed when I was in my early twenties ( a couple years ago) and that I for the most part I eat like a bird. Well, not today in the Waukesha County Real estate market; it was time to enjoy the Buttercream bakery at 322 E. Main Street, in the City of Waukesha. As a Waukesha Real Estate agent I like to know lots of the business people. The owners of the Buttercream bakery are Francisco and Claudia Landa. Francisco is a trained french pastry chef and has been a baker for over 25 years. He makes everything including all his Buttercream frosting from scratch. Probably not the best thing for a guy with high blood sugar but this place is truly a gem that needs to be discovered. Don't just take my word go and visit them for yourselves and tell them I had so much energy after there I could have pushed my car down the expressway. In the Waukesha Real estate market the Buttercream bakery is "Su Pasteleria Favorita"

When you here the name Wisconsin , and in the Waukesha County Real Estate market often one will think of the Green Bay Packers . The Green Bay Packers are legendary in football, and even the NFL Superbowl trophy is named after Vince Lombardi.They are the most winning football team in NFL history, and are owned by the City of Green Bay. Vince Lombardi ,Vince Lombardi ; now there was a man that knew what the word sacrifice meant. Ask any of his players, his fans, and the people of Wisconsin , and far past Wisconsin. The players he had will tell you that he was absolutely tough on them, had an amazing game plan, an attitude that would never die, they loved him, and to this day it is hard to think of Vince Lombardi without not taking it past football. Absolutely focused and dedicated.

Realtors today know what sacrifice and commitment mean. Every REALTOR, lender, stager, and any other ActiveRain  member, knows we have to always keep way on top of our game, not only by stressing the human component of care, compassion, and dedication to an Industry we love, but keep a cutting edge superiority like no other Industry may have with technology and the constant changes.  The fundamental basis we all share is excellence for our Industry, and the need to start the day, and end it, knowing we did our best that we could be. As with all these fine people, and all here commitment, talent, sacrifice, dedication,a great heart, and a winning attitude is what they are about. Am I competitive and focused? I don't know. Would anyone know when I walked in a room? They sure would notice Lars. 

The Official Web Site of Vince Lombardi   Vince Lombardi- Wikipedia, Packers.com, the Official Web site

Some favorite Vince Lombardi Quotes of mine:

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Vince Lombardi

If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?
Vince Lombardi

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
Vince Lombardi

Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Vince Lombardi

Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.
Vince Lombardi

 I came back from the Madison area after helping one of my Investors put a number of new tenants in his Commercial Real Estate he had purchased from me as a Commercial short sale a couple weeks ago. My friend Dave and I got to talking and I mentioned to him that it may not be the greatest or best time to sell your Waukesha County Real Estate, as in Waukesha County Commercial Real Estate, or Milwaukee County Commercial Real Estate, but I think I would be hard pressed to think of a better time to buy. Whether you are in the Madison, Monticello, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Waukesha, or any market you may prefer you have a grand opportunity in Commercial Real Estate property. I can help you purchase a restaurant, buy a strip mall, buy multi family building of any size, and more. From start to finish we will enjoy ourselves, and with a great selection and good prices, you will only looking forward to the next one that much sooner! Email me at tom@tombraatz.com or call 262-377-1459 and let's talk.

Wishing you a productive day, and see you at closing!

Recently I caught up with a friend I that was on his way to take a class. I asked him "Where are you taking your class?" He informed me he was taking it at UW-Waukesha because he wanted to better himself and he enjoyed taking classes on a regular basis. Continuing education at it's best.The University of Wisconsin located in Waukesha, Wisconsin has grown. It is known for the amazing quality and teaching that is synonymous with the entire UW system. The quality of a University of Wisconsin education is superb, and you also get the great recognition that comes with the Badger state. This is an excellent start in the University of Wisconsin system and allows you to transfer into the larger UW system. Upon finishing UW-Waukesha many students may transfer to UW-Madison, or UW-Milwaukee, other great UW campuses, and other Universities. In 2007 the University of Wisconsin-Madison had research expenditures of 913 million (the third largest in science and engineering and the largest in non-science expenditures in the nation).Information per Wikipedia. Please see: University of Wisconsin-Madison . Wisconsin is a great place to get your college education. For more on theUniversity of Wisconsin, Waukesha please see :University of Wisconsin Waukesha, for more on the UW system please see:University of Wisconsin System

One thing is for sure when you visit Waukesha County it is rich in history.

Mention Brookfield, short sale , buying, selling, customer service and more and they are synapses with Sally and David Hanson. Our special bloggers from Wisconsin. Sally has certainly had her hands full in the past couple of years with her illnesses, and to add to that her baby brother having heart surgery. Yesterday David and Sally were walking along and all of a sudden David fell down with symptoms that warranted an ambulance. I don't know his exact condition. Sometimes Sally and I talk, and sometimes we don't. I do know one thing. These are quality people, and I know they would love a call at 414-525-0563 or sallyk@hansonrealestate The Hanson's are part of Waukesha Real Estate,  Waukesha County Real Estate , and the Waukesha county Real Estate market
