    Dave Nimick: Tales from the Real Estate Market {May 2023}

    In this episode, Dave discusses: Stories happening in the Spring 2023 real estate market.What makes this year different from prior years. The inconsistencies in the current market. Understanding what you want during your sale or purchase.   Key Takeaways: You want to work with an agent who listens to what is most important to you and understands the market in your selling area. Consider leaving a couple of days open for showings and trust your agent to run the scheduling of those showings. Keeping the home clean and show-ready is easier if you aren’t there. When an agent does a detailed, in-depth market review, it will do better because it will be priced right for the market. As a real estate agent, if you have relationships with the trades it can serve your clients, especially those out of state, in ways they may not have considered.   "It was priced well, it was staged well, and it was in good condition. And I will always say that when those three things are in place, good things are gonna happen." —  Dave Nimick     Connect with Dave Nimick: Website: https://thenimickteam.com/ Email: dave@thenimickteam.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davenimick/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenimickteam   Dave Nimick is owner of The Nimick Team, Inc. with Keller Williams Realty     Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Interview with CFP Ed Gjertsen: Real Estate & Overall Financial Health

    In this episode, Dave and Ed discuss: Why you should consult a financial professional when buying a home. Active engagement on behalf of your clients. Areas homeowners might overlook when purchasing real estate. Real estate investing.   Key Takeaways: Your financial advisor can give you guidance, but, ultimately, it is your decision. They are the coach to your decision-making quarterback. Most people are misaligned between their estate documents and the title of their homes. Every client and every home are unique. Working with a financial advisor can assist with helping make the decision of what will work well in the long term, rather than the here and now. Get the HELOC on your home before you retire. It gives you an additional tool in the toolbox and is easier to get before retirement when you no longer have a direct income source.   "The better we know you financially, the better we can guide you." —  Ed Gjertsen     Connect with Ed Gjertsen: Website: https://engagewealthgroup.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edgjertsenii/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EdGjertsenII   Connect with Dave Nimick: Website: https://thenimickteam.com/ Email: dave@thenimickteam.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davenimick/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenimickteam   Dave Nimick is owner of The Nimick Team, Inc. with Keller Williams Realty     Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

  5. Mark DeBartolo: Talkin' to the Pros: Roofer

    Mark DeBartolo: Talkin' to the Pros: Roofer

    In this episode, Dave and Mark discuss: Most common roofing problems homeowners face. Types of roofing and the one Mark most recommends. Important factors to consider when choosing a roofing contractor. What to expect during a roofing project. The future of the roofing industry.   Key Takeaways: Until there is a problem (such as leaking) many homeowners don’t think about the roof because it is out of sight out of mind. There are benefits and drawbacks to all the different types of roofing products, partly depending on your location. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Most good roofing contractors will do everything for you. Be wary if it is a piecemeal contract where you are needing to do the legwork. There should always be an open line of communication with your contractor. Costs are not likely to go down, but they are stabilizing.   "The roof should always be smooth and solid, it shouldn't be concave or bumping up." —  Mark DeBartolo   About Len Roofing & Remodeling:  Len Roofing & Remodeling is committed to providing nothing less than the highest quality craftsmanship on home renovations, and Chicago roof repair and replacement, which are all backed up with a three-year warranty. We are a top-quality home remodeling and roofing company, serving Northbrook, Northfield, Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka, Deerfield, Highland Park, Kenilworth, and the surrounding Chicagoland area.     Connect with Mark DeBartolo: Website: https://lenroofing.com/ Email: info@lenroofing.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/len-roofing-&-remodeling/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-debartolo-088a263b/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LenRoofing Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LenRoofing/   Connect with Dave Nimick: Website: https://thenimickteam.com/ Email: dave@thenimickteam.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4WqeMs62CL3T5P-w6ncqbQ/videos LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davenimick/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenimickteam   Dave Nimick is owner of The Nimick Team, Inc. with Keller Williams Realty     Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
