Alanis Morissette said it best…

thank you

I know Thanksgiving was a couple days ago. Deer hunting is now almost over. Our 50+ degree days seem to be behind us. Snow seems to be only days away. And the holiday season is in full swing…

But before Christmas trees are up and lights decorate both the inside and outside of your home, I’d like to say a little thank you. Not just to you the reader, but also to the world in general.

First, my sincerest thanks to the couple dozen of you who’ve signed up to automatically receive my blog posts. Letting me into your inbox is just as important as letting me into your home. I work hard to provide information that you will continue to receive value from.

Next, to everyone else who’s made their way here. To those of you who’ve bookmarked “The School” or those of you who simply put this website on their website viewing ‘to do’ list; thank you to you as well. I know the websites that are on my must see list, and I’m honored to be on yours.

And to anyone who’s interested in real estate. I became a Realtor 2 years ago because I have a passion for this career. A passion for helping people.

I love being able to share my knowledge on this website as well as GoRapids.com. It’s humbling to be able to help a family purchase their dream home. Or to help a homeowner find someone who’ll better appreciate what their home has to offer.

I’m nowhere near being a ‘top producer.’ But life is good and I truly value the people I’ve met and the people I’ve been able to help.

Thank you.

Neillsville home

Let the stress melt away as you approach this spacious Neillsville home. Located approximately 2 miles from downtown Neillsville this home will provide you a quiet place to retreat to, but yet still close enough for a “quick run into town” to get tonight’s dinner.

As you enter the property you’ll instantly appreciate the 1.5+ acres you can call home. Lined with trees, but still open to provide space for children to play or shops to be built…

Backyard of a Neillsville home

The first building you’ll notice will not be the home, but the detached office. Including electricity, this used to house the office of a former greenhouse business. It will easily handle the needs of any modern office; and provide you the peace and quiet you need to be productive.

As you approach the home take notice of the large covered deck. At 40 feet long you’ll be able to enjoy the cool spring evenings at your new country home. The front door leads you into the formal dining room. I dare you to find a dinner table that will not easily fit into this room. No really, I do!

From there you enter the spacious eat in kitchen. The kitchen offers more than 30 feet of counter space making even the biggest meals easy to create.

Next you’ll move onto the living room. At a staggering 26′x22′ this room will fit even the largest furniture. Do you need space for kids to play? Room for family and friends to gather? This room has it, with room to spare. Patio doors and 2 skylights provide plenty of natural light. Plus they help keep your heating and cooling bills down. That’s always good.

Bed and Bath

The master bedroom. Yes, it is a master. Getting ready for work just became easier with the full bathroom. Spread your makeup, gels, lotions, potions and anything else you need to “become presentable” in the morning out on the large bathroom vanity.

The family room offers you a place to get away. Relax on a Sunday afternoon in January with your favorite book. Or watch your favorite cat soak up the warmth the sun provides through the multiple patio doors and skylight.

Living and Family Rooms

If you find yourself wanting more space, either in the home or in the yard, this home has it. If you want move-in ready at an affordable price, this home has that too.
