Hello, my name is Chris Franks and together with Tom Anderson we bring more than 30 years' of industry experience to our latest venture, predominantly in the Finance and Mortgage arena and also as Real Estate investors. Our decades of experience and hundreds of Real Estate purchase transactions have provided us with the tools, training, and knowledge and led us to the opening of a truly progressive Real Estate Company that proudly opened its doors on Earth Day, 2008. Realty 2.0 is founded on what appears to us to be a very overdue, yet very obvious and necessary evolution for Real Estate Companies.
As of May, 2008, there are 16,175 Realtors in the state of Wisconsin. The average Wisconsin home buyer or seller has a difficult time making anything better than a wild guess at which of these Realtors is best qualified to professionally serve their interests. We believe, as a buyer, the first step is to shorten this list down to only those Realtors trained, certified, and qualified as EcoBrokers. Our times are all about energy, oil, utility costs, sustainability, air/water quality, and we believe these issues are here to stay. If we're correct in this belief, it's never been more important to find a Realtor who is trained to analyze your prospective home choices on energy efficiency and utility cost affordability - less than 1% of Wisconsin Realtors carry the EcoBroker certification! We also believe, with the current acceleration of energy costs, and growing environmental awareness, that energy and eco friendly homes may make better investments. Your home, if you're like most, is your largest investment so - choose your Realtor carefully! Looking for the EcoBroker certification makes sense, it's 'Eco Logical'.
We believe 'flat fee' agreements for sellers is another natural, obvious, and overdue evolution. You wouldn't pay your plumber based on the value of your home! For more on our approach to 'Seller 2.0' - please contact us for our flat fee schedule and list of cutting edge marketing services.
Together with our Broker, Chris Vieau, we're building a new and improved (thus, the '2.0') version of full service Real Estate Company, we welcome your comments and hope for the opportunity to discuss the 'Realty 2.0 Difference', call or write any time!
