About Me
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2002, majoring in Psychology and Communication Arts. After 3 years in a cubicle at the Gordon Flesch Company, I felt a move into the real estate industry would be the right fit for me. After about 3 years as a real estate agent, I know I made the right decision. I love the freedom of being my own boss, and the challenges that come with it. I enjoy working with various people on a daily basis, and it is very rewarding to help people with such a huge venture as the purchase or sale of their home.

Real estate is a prosperous industry, and I want to help you invest in properties, whether it be a home for your family or an income property to supplement your income, and everything in between. Whatever your real estate need, I am dedicated to giving you tremendous customer service.

It certainly counts as something. But as a general rule, I would say no, finished below grade sq ft is not as valuable as finished above grade sq ft. - Thu Mar 27 2008, 08:06

I don't see any problem with buying a condo in Madison - there are some great ones out there and you can get a very good deal right now! I totally agree with Rob that location is key. I would think about what it will be like to try and sell the condo in 5 years, and hopefully avoid selling a 5 year old condo in a market surrounded by brand new condos that are very similar to it. - Wed Feb 13 2008, 21:16

Are lease-options on homes in Madison common? How do I find them?

Seth Peterson answered:
I don't believe they are common, but some sellers are open to that. Real Estate Agents can search on the MLS specifically for homes on the market that are open to lease options. Let me know if you'd like me to email you all the lease-option listings that are in your price range/location/etc. - Wed Jan 2 2008, 20:07

How is the general housing market in Madison?

Seth Peterson answered:
The housing market nationwide has been down, and it's no different in Madison. But that does not mean everything has been depreciating. In fact, the average home is still appreciating in the Madison area. So the market isn't so bad, it's just not really good. In general, Madison has and probably always will have quite a stable market. It will never "burst" like you'll find in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Orlando, etc. It has it's ups and downs, but not to extremes.

More specifically about the current market in Madison, it's a Buyer's market, which basically means there are more homes for sale than there are buyers. Also, interest rates are still relatively low. So it's actually a great time buy! - Fri Jul 27 2007, 17:01
