"Oh Racine, Racine How You Make Me Quiver..."

So here we go...



Blogging! Who would have ever thought that I would actually begin a blog. While it remains to be seen how current I keep this, beginnings always come with the grandest of intensions and so, of course, this blog will be the "come to" place for information on Racine, Wisconsin real estate.



The title of this blog is taken from an informal Racine anthem of the 1960's. The rest of the song is not very flattering of the Racine area (ask someone who grew up here for the balance of this little ditty) but I chose it here because the title serves a dual purpose. Let's get this out in the open right now-RACINE, WISCONSIN IS A BEAUTIFUL AND CONVENIENT PLACE TO LIVE AND RAISE YOUR FAMILY-PERIOD! Some may take issue with that statement but it is, in fact, the truth.

In the interest of full disclosure I am required to tell you that I make my living in selling real estate in the Racine area. I was born here, grew up here (on the corner of 15th and Park), left here for better opportunites out of college (Marquette University) and made the conscious decision to return here when I realized the beautiful community I had left behind. I have tried to be involved in civic and volunteer organizations and take great pride in having had the honor to serve as president, chairman or board member of many of the local organizations committed to improving the entire Racine community. I think I have a unique perspective and I am most interested in providing honest and accurate real estate information to anyone who asks-no commitments, no strings, no charge.

Being new to blogging I'm not real sure where this will go or who will see this. My hope is that people who live in the Racine area will want information on how home sales are going, what may be happening with mortgages and home loans and will want to know about general information affecting Racine. I also hope that those who are considering a move to Southeastern Wisconsin will come here for accurate information on all that the Racine area has to offer. While I certainly do not have the answer to all of your questions, I'm pretty sure that I can find a source that will clearly and honestly provide you with the information you need to make a good decision.

So try me out and give me a chance to be of service. I love Racine and want the entire community to grow and thrive on the western shore of Lake Michigan. This should be fun!
