a pool.

Oh is that like a neighbor with the boat as well?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, something like that. Have you ever had a boat,
by the way, I have not you.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I did, I did have a I did have a boat,
like a fishing boat. It was no, it was it
was a big cuddy like it had a cabin in it.
I got it. It was somebody that he had used it.
He was like on the Madison Lakes. He would salvage things.
It was Superl's like a nineteen seventy something commander I
think is what it was called. But he was a
scuba diver and he would salvage things from the bottom
(01:32):
of the Madison Lakes. And so he's like, my wife
doesn't want me doing this anymore. We get too old.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
He sold it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I get paid like fifteen hundred bucks. A yeah, it's now.
I ended up selling it to a guy that takes
it out on like Michigan and he uses it for
some other type order.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So yeah, I guess I did have a boat. I
don't know much about. I only took it out once
because I got very scared.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I didn't want to be at the bottom of Yes,
so a pool, and especially if it's your neighbor's neighbor's
pool is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But I know a lot of it, especially like kiddos
and other things. Oh, what a great way to bring
the family together. And and Matt, speaking of we've got
a lot of important stuff to talk about Independence Day
coming up this weekend. We are going to talk about
curb appeal and how you're how to make your house
look like it's it's newer than the Nations, which is
so great. Years exactly we've got Oh goodness, I'm going
(02:30):
to tell you something, Matt. We've got a great featured
listing this week and Ryo and uh this house, Oh
my goodness. We I was just looking at the looking
at the acreage and the and I don't know what
it is.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
If you get a chance to like kind of go
stroll through the woods or other things. It is just
fantastic when it comes to like how cool the the
temperature is and stuff like that. And this has got
got just over four acres and it is it's a
pretty amazing four bedroom home. Let's talk a little bit
about this house in Ryo.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, and I haven't made it to Ryo much, right,
So I actually uh googled this yesterday to see right,
and so from Madison it's only about forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, right, so it's a it's not too bad.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That's pretty well pretty much you're right there, You're right there,
you go. Yeah, yeah, I mean four point one seven acres.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's located at n.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Five zero four zero Lutwig Road in Ryo. That's five
three nine six zero. And yeah, it's it's great. I
mean as far as if you're looking for like something
in the country that has a lot of size that
it can kind of be your, you know, family getaway.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
This this checks a lot of the boxes.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It is. It sure does. And again it's a fantastic
home in Ryo. And we've got Travis. Haven't met Travis?
Is this first time?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Travis?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Trevis Trevis with the e Actually, oh yeah, I should

friend growing up. Trevis is the named Travis is the

seven seventy four, four bedrooms, three and a half bath,
stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, got a great view
(04:10):
from the for the fireplacement, primary suite, soaking tub.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Really, where do you got you guys?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is it competitive for these type of like these listings,
Like as we talk about some of you know all
the great listings you guys have at Rock Realty. Is
that something that sometimes can be a bit competitive for
for for real estate agents to get those listings much
like this one.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, it all depends.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I mean if obviously, if it's someone that's been referred
to us at or they've worked with us before, yeah,
they're a little more likely to just say, hey, we're
going with Rock Realty. But lately, yeah, we've we've had
some competition and happy to say that we've beat most
of them.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, there's not a lot of people, you know, advertising
like we are for the listening and no one, no
one that I know of, is advertising and the radio
for listings. So it does give us an edge up
because we can reach more people.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
It's pretty amazing off great day to pick up the phone.
Give Trevis to call his telephone number six. So eight
three three eight fifty seven seventy four. That's three three
eight fifty seven seventy four. So I want to see
this beautiful house in Ryo right at end fifty forty.
Of course, the prices, the price is right when you
look at all the all the great stuff that comes
with this with this Matt again three. You basically got
(05:20):
to bathroom for each bedroom, three and a half bath,
four bedroom home, nearly five thousand square feet.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's a big house. It's a big house. So what
are we looking at listing on this list and price?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, this one we're listed at one point two five
four four nine, so just just under three or one
point three million, So with that much acres, that much size,
and just the big thing is the lot. Yeah, I
mean it backs up to hunting Land, so it uh,
it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That is amazing stuff. By the way, you can also
watch us if you're on Facebook, heading over to wib
A dot dot COM's Facebook page. Well, so you're putting
it up on Rock real Tea as well. We are
live streaming this and while you're on the internet, head
on over to Rock Wisconsin dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Take a look at this house.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I would urge you to give Trevis Paldo right away
this morning, get on that agenda. We'll touch on that
on that featured listing again and in just a few
just a few moments, and Matt, we're going to talk
this week as mentioned about making your house look look beautiful, modern, updated,
and and Karen, if your house by the way is
two hundred and fifty years old. That's awesome, especially if
(06:24):
you're taking good care of it. You definitely still could
use some tips for keeping it attractive. And the front
porch and and we're funny, we're just talking talking entryways
and other things of our last guests here guests on
the station and the front door. That entryway is this,
that's not it's not cliche. It really is an important
(06:45):
aspect to your house, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And you know it's it's either scary or welcoming, yeah,
usually right or bland. Right.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Those are kind of the three the three things. And
you know, the more you.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Can do to to give it some contrast, the better.
You know, it doesn't have to be high contrast necessarily.
I mean you could. You can go with more of
a muted earth tone that kind of contrasts just a
touch with the house. Or you can go with like
a vibrant blue and navy blue even but yeah, charcoal
gray is a popular one lately.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That I love that style.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I love that And what I love about it is
it's different and it's and I like the idea that
and I think in the modern times we are in
now is it used to be like very strict rules,
like doors had to be this color, your siding had
to be this color at all, and like all your
woodwork had to be this this stuff. Whatever we have
here at the station. Now it's like everything can be
(07:39):
unique and taking advantage of opportunities to make the space unique,
make the space really yours, goes a very very long way.
A layered welcoming matt. What what are we talking My
wife does this and I did not. I didn't know
that this was a thing. But what are we talking
about there? About a layered welcoming matt.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, it could make a big difference, similar to you know,
painting your front door can always be changed out, so
can a welcoming matt.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Right, so having you know, maybe spending.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
A little bit more money on a nice woven welcome Matt.
Or I know that at one point we had our
last name that was printed on Yeah, you know, different
things like that could really uh you know, have a
have an effect for a small price.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Very very affordable customizations there as well. Another one, it
see is a good one if you know, yea looking
for customization. It is the other thing to our our
house numbers and I've I have loved this. Uh it's
kind of I don't know where it originates, but like
I'm seeing these numbers where like the numbers are larger,
which I've got to guess, like the the the door
(08:40):
dash people love, but also like they're elongated and very
elegantly slim and you'll see like a big long with
the with the house numbers. But but having that on
there is is a big advantage too, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I mean anything you can do that just kind of
make sure house pop a little bit is always helpful,
whether you're looking to sell or not. You know, yeah,
the goal of being in a house is to enjoy
the house and pulling into the garage and having these
small little features that are different is what makes life fun,
right And you know a lot of the contemporary ones
now have those stainless steel numbers. Oh backlit. Oh yeah,
(09:15):
that's pretty neat too. I mean, obviously it's got to
be the right architectural style, very classy. Look, that's that is,
do you guys? And obviously you see this firsthand. Have
you had folks that have that have literally made up
their mind? Not necessarily obviously you're not going to be
one hundred percent, but had a pretty good idea that
this was a house simply by pulling in the driveway
and just because I will tell you the house we
live in. That literally when we pulled up that driveway.
(09:38):
And it's a weird detail that I just absolutely loved
is our house's brick and like part of the dining
room kind of there's like a weird kind of square
bump out. It just I don't know what it was,
but I saw the thought.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I loved that style, and I'm like, I love this house.
Do you get people like that? Quite often they're like,
unless there's something major, just my my curb appeal, it's
got me sold on this place.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, I mean a lot of times it is the feel.
I mean, it all depends on Whateverdy's priority is. You know,
some people prioritize the interior finishes, even though those can
be changed, right, Yeah, you know I always say that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You know, there's a three three l's make sure I
can remember them, right, Yeah, A lot, location, and layout. Right.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Those those are the ones that are almost impossible to
change or are very difficult. Right, So the first thing
is location and lot. First two and those are the
those are major ones right, if you have the right lot,
the right size, the right you know, backdrop trees, the
right neighbors, the right neighborhood for.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Location, that's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So it could be you know, us discussing these exterior
kind of updates, you know, might be the difference between
a buyer immediately falling in love like you guys did,
or deciding once they're inside.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, is there something too with with you mentioned about
those l's and the ones that you can and cannot change?
Is I thinks too? Working with it with a great agent? Really,
you know, if if you have a great agent that
you really trust in your you know, you know what
this house, the stuff we're looking for, we've talked about
it is included in this place. Sometimes it is just
that curb appeal that suddenly puts the over the edge
(11:07):
and we talk about this stuff too. Talking with Matt
Heytman of Rock Realty. A great week. Maybe you got
some time off this week, Maybe a good week to
be thinking about doing some of these projects, tackling some
of these things. Even if you're not looking to list
your home, it's always just great to do for yourself
as well. Looking for some ideas too. Also, head on
over to rock Wisconsin dot com. That's rock RCK Wisconsin
dot com. That's Rock Wisconsin dot com. Great website there.
(11:31):
Lighting is a huge inside but outside, and I have
seen some just really really cool, very tastefully done. I
don't know if you'll call them lighting packages or things
where I don't know if they're being done professionally or
if people are doing this stuff by themselves, but like
some of these these external lighting concepts are really really
(11:52):
making these houses very attractive even in the evening.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah. Yeah, I would say that lighting can have a
huge There's there's a two story house that's near us.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You know, I'm not really into two stories.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Right, yeah, but boy it looks attractive to me because
they have the lighting and the soffets right and uh
and you know, back back when that was built, I
would say maybe two and ten timeframe. You know, it
was all you know, kind of canned lightings in the soffits.
But now now they've got the LED options. It's it's
you know, I've priced out with the professional lighting costs
and it's multiple thousands of dollars, right, But if you
(12:29):
if you just go online, there's so many do it
yourself's options. Now with led lighting, that just can highlight
all the peaks in the roof and the gables and
it just makes a big difference. It makes your house
look more elegant and uh and you can turn those
on as as the sun starts setting. Yeah, and if
you're going to have a showing in the evening then and.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Don't be fooled.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Also, if you're listing your home and somebody likes your house,
they will probably drive by after work. Obviously summer months
a little difference, but if it's winter fall, they're driving
by when it's when it's twilight, it's getting dark, and
having that just that beautiful appeal can really have a huge,
huge impact. Speaking of other things that can have a
huge impact, we'll talk about crisp landscaping and lawn framing
(13:10):
and the importance of that as well. In this this
week's feach of listing, we'll talk about that. You want
to talk about some great landscaping that is pretty amazing. Also,
we'll get to that and so much more as we
continue our conversation with Matt Heyman of Rockrealty, the website
of Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's our Ock Wisconsin dot com.
They're telling number six O eight six seven three fifty
four hundred. That's six eight six seven three fifty four hundred. Well,
(13:30):
continue our conversation with Matt of Rockrealty. We'll do that
next as Ask the Experts continues right here on thirteen
ten double.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Uiv I.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Eight fifty two thirteen ten WI b A and Ask
the Experts brought to you by Rockrealty Online, Rockwizsconsin dot com.
That's our ock Wisconsin dot com great website. As we
talk about beautiful curb appeal this week, you'll see some
absolutely beautiful homes. A matter of fact, the house featured listing,
we'll talk a little bit more about it. It has
amazing curb appeal. Just a beautiful, beautiful property all around.
(14:09):
We'll get to that in just a moment. You can
preview with though at Rockwisconsin dot com. That's r O
c K Wisconsin dot com. That house on Ludwig Road
in beautiful beautiful Rhyo. Talking this week about some of
the little things you can do when it comes to
kind of tighten things up around your house. And there
is an and I drive around and I see houses
(14:29):
with beautiful landscaping and really well manicured lawns, and I'm
always jealous. And I also it catches your eye like
it doesn't have to. And I don't think it's got
to be a ton of work for folks, But just
things like like edging and just having having some nice
plantings and and maybe a flower box or something like
that really goes a long way for curb appeal, doesn't it, Matt, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It does.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
You know, the edging thing, I don't know, why is
it so obvious, Like when when you're driving by a house, Yeah, edged, yeah,
that person cares. You know, you could have you could
have the inside of the house completely trash.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You would have no idea that's true, because you had
your lawn. Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I was just watching if I've got weeds coming up
through some of the some of the what do they
call those in concrete where like the expansion joints, I've
got weeds coming up through there, and so I've been
doing round up and I'm like, there's got to be
a better way. So I'm like watching this guy and
he's like super like he's got this perfect lawn and
he's like puts foam down there and some kind of.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Whoa, my goodness, I think I've got a level game. Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
So also like things I know, like a beautiful tree
and obviously shade and other things, but also don't forget
about the area around the tree. Maybe some mult or
some just like a really nice defined area really makes
that makes that look absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I think you know.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And there's multiple ways to do it, obviously, but fresh
mult alone is a big deal. But if you can
define that kind of circle around the tree, yeah, it
really makes the tree pop more. Whether that's retaining wall
or you know, if you do some landscape concrete edging.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Oh boy, yeah, that is great.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It's very it's it's very appealing. And you were talking
too earlier, Matt about some of the some of the
lighting for your house and and the fact that a
lot of it's LED now low voltage, which means runs
on batteries or can even be installed by a homeowner.
I've also a very popular option now is is pathway
lighting that used to be like a pretty significant investment
(16:29):
to do. Nowadays you can pick up some some whether
they're LED battery powered solar ones or or even like
the low voltage ones, those can be installed pretty affordably
and they make a huge, huge impact, don't they.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I mean we used to have to you know, dig
down and that little wire it almost looks like a
speaker wire, right, yeah, for you to have to bury that,
But not anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, No, you've got solar panels and such.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
And you know where that actually is is really helpful
is under the tree too.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You can put I personally at one point.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I mean, I think it's huttered out at this point,
but I had a thing that looked like a little boulder,
but it had a light in the back and it showed,
it shined up into the tree. So if you if
you do a few of those little, you know, token accents,
it makes a big deal with that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
When you get a consultation with a listing agent, is
some of this part of that conversation about maybe little
things that can really set the house apart. Is that
is that part of what you're getting when you're working
with this.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we can you know, obviously we
start with the interior and you know, you know say hey,
you know, yeah, maybe maybe remove this glamour shot, right yeah,
everybody in overalls, right yeah? But outside, yeah, you know,
there's Obviously, little things that you can do to uh,
to touch it up to to you know, have a
(17:43):
big impact on a small budget.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What about the overall cleaning. I think a pressure washer.
An afternoon with a pressure washer can go a real
long way, and overall curbabile can't.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, yeah, definitely can. And what is it the north
side that gets the most, right? I think it's the
north side of the house that gets that mildew build
up sometimes. I haven't had that issue of mine since
we don't have a ton of trees as you know,
it's only about ten year old home and there wasn't
a bunch of trees, but you know my previous house. Yeah,
whenever there's any sort of shade, that north side would
really get millday. So if you just you don't notice
(18:14):
it being dirty.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Right, but then after you clean it, you're like wow, Right.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
If you do notice it, that's yeah, if you do
notice it, definitely go get a pressure washer, rent it,
you know, make that happen.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, we've got a whole other issue at that point.
Talking this morning with Matt Heyman at Rockrealty Online Rock
Wisconsin dot com. That's Rock RCK Wisconsin dot com. I
just one one final thing with this, as we talked
about earlier, i'm your curb appeal and really staging and
setting up your home. That's some of the great stuff.
When you're working with the agents at Rock Realty, they
will help you, they will guide you, they will give
(18:47):
you all of that guidance to really make sure your
house looks absolutely fantastic in person and then the pictures,
and they do a great job with that. Speaking of
looking fantastic in pictures, this house at and forty and
fifty forty Ludwig Road in Ryo. I was just looking
at the pictures as we've been talking, just kind of
scrolling through. This is an absolutely gorgeous property, literally both
(19:10):
inside and out.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And we're just kind of tying in with our conversation
this week mentioned the acreage, mentioned the area there. But
these people really did put put a really they clearly
it's not something they've something they've been doing for a
long time. Yeah, they really put an emphasis on outside.
I see like an outside patio with a fireplace and
some other things.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It's a really really great looking there's a number of
interior stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yea, so we've got we've got a soaking tub, tiled shower,
dual sinks. So we've got a large wreck room. Yes,
we have a wet bar, a fireplace in floor heat yes,
and a steam shower.

doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Doing good? Good? I think I want a neighbor with
a pool.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh is that like a neighbor with the boat as well?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, something like that. Have you ever had a boat,
by the way, I have not you.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I did, I did have a I did have a boat,
like a fishing boat. It was no, it was it
was a big cuddy like it had a cabin in it.
I got it. It was somebody that he had used it.
He was like on the Madison Lakes. He would salvage things.
It was Superl's like a nineteen seventy something commander I
think is what it was called. But he was a
scuba diver and he would salvage things from the bottom
(01:32):
of the Madison Lakes. And so he's like, my wife
doesn't want me doing this anymore. We get too old.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
He sold it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I get paid like fifteen hundred bucks. A yeah, it's now.
I ended up selling it to a guy that takes
it out on like Michigan and he uses it for
some other type order.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So yeah, I guess I did have a boat. I
don't know much about. I only took it out once
because I got very scared.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I didn't want to be at the bottom of Yes,
so a pool, and especially if it's your neighbor's neighbor's
pool is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But I know a lot of it, especially like kiddos
and other things. Oh, what a great way to bring
the family together. And and Matt, speaking of we've got
a lot of important stuff to talk about Independence Day
coming up this weekend. We are going to talk about
curb appeal and how you're how to make your house
look like it's it's newer than the Nations, which is
so great. Years exactly we've got Oh goodness, I'm going
(02:30):
to tell you something, Matt. We've got a great featured
listing this week and Ryo and uh this house, Oh
my goodness. We I was just looking at the looking
at the acreage and the and I don't know what
it is.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
If you get a chance to like kind of go
stroll through the woods or other things. It is just
fantastic when it comes to like how cool the the
temperature is and stuff like that. And this has got
got just over four acres and it is it's a
pretty amazing four bedroom home. Let's talk a little bit
about this house in Ryo.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, and I haven't made it to Ryo much, right,
So I actually uh googled this yesterday to see right,
and so from Madison it's only about forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, right, so it's a it's not too bad.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That's pretty well pretty much you're right there, You're right there,
you go. Yeah, yeah, I mean four point one seven acres.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's located at n.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Five zero four zero Lutwig Road in Ryo. That's five
three nine six zero. And yeah, it's it's great. I
mean as far as if you're looking for like something
in the country that has a lot of size that
it can kind of be your, you know, family getaway.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
This this checks a lot of the boxes.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It is. It sure does. And again it's a fantastic
home in Ryo. And we've got Travis. Haven't met Travis?
Is this first time?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Travis?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Trevis Trevis with the e Actually, oh yeah, I should

seven seventy four, four bedrooms, three and a half bath,
stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, got a great view
(04:10):
from the for the fireplacement, primary suite, soaking tub.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Really, where do you got you guys?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is it competitive for these type of like these listings,
Like as we talk about some of you know all
the great listings you guys have at Rock Realty. Is
that something that sometimes can be a bit competitive for
for for real estate agents to get those listings much
like this one.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, it all depends.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I mean if obviously, if it's someone that's been referred
to us at or they've worked with us before, yeah,
they're a little more likely to just say, hey, we're
going with Rock Realty. But lately, yeah, we've we've had
some competition and happy to say that we've beat most
of them.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, there's not a lot of people, you know, advertising
like we are for the listening and no one, no
one that I know of, is advertising and the radio
for listings. So it does give us an edge up
because we can reach more people.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
It's pretty amazing off great day to pick up the phone.
Give Trevis to call his telephone number six. So eight
three three eight fifty seven seventy four. That's three three
eight fifty seven seventy four. So I want to see
this beautiful house in Ryo right at end fifty forty.
Of course, the prices, the price is right when you
look at all the all the great stuff that comes
with this with this Matt again three. You basically got
(05:20):
to bathroom for each bedroom, three and a half bath,
four bedroom home, nearly five thousand square feet.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's a big house. It's a big house. So what
are we looking at listing on this list and price?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, this one we're listed at one point two five
four four nine, so just just under three or one
point three million, So with that much acres, that much size,
and just the big thing is the lot. Yeah, I
mean it backs up to hunting Land, so it uh,
it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That is amazing stuff. By the way, you can also
watch us if you're on Facebook, heading over to wib
A dot dot COM's Facebook page. Well, so you're putting
it up on Rock real Tea as well. We are
live streaming this and while you're on the internet, head
on over to Rock Wisconsin dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Take a look at this house.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I would urge you to give Trevis Paldo right away
this morning, get on that agenda. We'll touch on that
on that featured listing again and in just a few
just a few moments, and Matt, we're going to talk
this week as mentioned about making your house look look beautiful, modern, updated,
and and Karen, if your house by the way is
two hundred and fifty years old. That's awesome, especially if
(06:24):
you're taking good care of it. You definitely still could
use some tips for keeping it attractive. And the front
porch and and we're funny, we're just talking talking entryways
and other things of our last guests here guests on
the station and the front door. That entryway is this,
that's not it's not cliche. It really is an important
(06:45):
aspect to your house, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And you know it's it's either scary or welcoming, yeah,
usually right or bland. Right.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Those are kind of the three the three things. And
you know, the more you.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Can do to to give it some contrast, the better.
You know, it doesn't have to be high contrast necessarily.
I mean you could. You can go with more of
a muted earth tone that kind of contrasts just a
touch with the house. Or you can go with like
a vibrant blue and navy blue even but yeah, charcoal
gray is a popular one lately.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That I love that style.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I love that And what I love about it is
it's different and it's and I like the idea that
and I think in the modern times we are in
now is it used to be like very strict rules,
like doors had to be this color, your siding had
to be this color at all, and like all your
woodwork had to be this this stuff. Whatever we have
here at the station. Now it's like everything can be
(07:39):
unique and taking advantage of opportunities to make the space unique,
make the space really yours, goes a very very long way.
A layered welcoming matt. What what are we talking My
wife does this and I did not. I didn't know
that this was a thing. But what are we talking
about there? About a layered welcoming matt.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, it could make a big difference, similar to you know,
painting your front door can always be changed out, so
can a welcoming matt.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Right, so having you know, maybe spending.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
A little bit more money on a nice woven welcome Matt.
Or I know that at one point we had our
last name that was printed on Yeah, you know, different
things like that could really uh you know, have a
have an effect for a small price.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Very very affordable customizations there as well. Another one, it
see is a good one if you know, yea looking
for customization. It is the other thing to our our
house numbers and I've I have loved this. Uh it's
kind of I don't know where it originates, but like
I'm seeing these numbers where like the numbers are larger,
which I've got to guess, like the the the door
(08:40):
dash people love, but also like they're elongated and very
elegantly slim and you'll see like a big long with
the with the house numbers. But but having that on
there is is a big advantage too, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I mean anything you can do that just kind of
make sure house pop a little bit is always helpful,
whether you're looking to sell or not. You know, yeah,
the goal of being in a house is to enjoy
the house and pulling into the garage and having these
small little features that are different is what makes life fun,
right And you know a lot of the contemporary ones
now have those stainless steel numbers. Oh backlit. Oh yeah,
(09:15):
that's pretty neat too. I mean, obviously it's got to
be the right architectural style, very classy. Look, that's that is,
do you guys? And obviously you see this firsthand. Have
you had folks that have that have literally made up
their mind? Not necessarily obviously you're not going to be
one hundred percent, but had a pretty good idea that
this was a house simply by pulling in the driveway
and just because I will tell you the house we
live in. That literally when we pulled up that driveway.
(09:38):
And it's a weird detail that I just absolutely loved
is our house's brick and like part of the dining
room kind of there's like a weird kind of square
bump out. It just I don't know what it was,
but I saw the thought.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I loved that style, and I'm like, I love this house.
Do you get people like that? Quite often they're like,
unless there's something major, just my my curb appeal, it's
got me sold on this place.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, I mean a lot of times it is the feel.
I mean, it all depends on Whateverdy's priority is. You know,
some people prioritize the interior finishes, even though those can
be changed, right, Yeah, you know I always say that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You know, there's a three three l's make sure I
can remember them, right, Yeah, A lot, location, and layout. Right.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Those those are the ones that are almost impossible to
change or are very difficult. Right, So the first thing
is location and lot. First two and those are the
those are major ones right, if you have the right lot,
the right size, the right you know, backdrop trees, the
right neighbors, the right neighborhood for.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Location, that's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So it could be you know, us discussing these exterior
kind of updates, you know, might be the difference between
a buyer immediately falling in love like you guys did,
or deciding once they're inside.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, is there something too with with you mentioned about
those l's and the ones that you can and cannot change?
Is I thinks too? Working with it with a great agent? Really,
you know, if if you have a great agent that
you really trust in your you know, you know what
this house, the stuff we're looking for, we've talked about
it is included in this place. Sometimes it is just
that curb appeal that suddenly puts the over the edge
(11:07):
and we talk about this stuff too. Talking with Matt
Heytman of Rock Realty. A great week. Maybe you got
some time off this week, Maybe a good week to
be thinking about doing some of these projects, tackling some
of these things. Even if you're not looking to list
your home, it's always just great to do for yourself
as well. Looking for some ideas too. Also, head on
over to rock Wisconsin dot com. That's rock RCK Wisconsin
dot com. That's Rock Wisconsin dot com. Great website there.
(11:31):
Lighting is a huge inside but outside, and I have
seen some just really really cool, very tastefully done. I
don't know if you'll call them lighting packages or things
where I don't know if they're being done professionally or
if people are doing this stuff by themselves, but like
some of these these external lighting concepts are really really
(11:52):
making these houses very attractive even in the evening.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah. Yeah, I would say that lighting can have a
huge There's there's a two story house that's near us.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You know, I'm not really into two stories.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Right, yeah, but boy it looks attractive to me because
they have the lighting and the soffets right and uh
and you know, back back when that was built, I
would say maybe two and ten timeframe. You know, it
was all you know, kind of canned lightings in the soffits.
But now now they've got the LED options. It's it's
you know, I've priced out with the professional lighting costs
and it's multiple thousands of dollars, right, But if you
(12:29):
if you just go online, there's so many do it
yourself's options. Now with led lighting, that just can highlight
all the peaks in the roof and the gables and
it just makes a big difference. It makes your house
look more elegant and uh and you can turn those
on as as the sun starts setting. Yeah, and if
you're going to have a showing in the evening then and.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Don't be fooled.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Also, if you're listing your home and somebody likes your house,
they will probably drive by after work. Obviously summer months
a little difference, but if it's winter fall, they're driving
by when it's when it's twilight, it's getting dark, and
having that just that beautiful appeal can really have a huge,
huge impact. Speaking of other things that can have a
huge impact, we'll talk about crisp landscaping and lawn framing
(13:10):
and the importance of that as well. In this this
week's feach of listing, we'll talk about that. You want
to talk about some great landscaping that is pretty amazing. Also,
we'll get to that and so much more as we
continue our conversation with Matt Heyman of Rockrealty, the website
of Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's our Ock Wisconsin dot com.
They're telling number six O eight six seven three fifty
four hundred. That's six eight six seven three fifty four hundred. Well,
(13:30):
continue our conversation with Matt of Rockrealty. We'll do that
next as Ask the Experts continues right here on thirteen
ten double.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Uiv I.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Eight fifty two thirteen ten WI b A and Ask
the Experts brought to you by Rockrealty Online, Rockwizsconsin dot com.
That's our ock Wisconsin dot com great website. As we
talk about beautiful curb appeal this week, you'll see some
absolutely beautiful homes. A matter of fact, the house featured listing,
we'll talk a little bit more about it. It has
amazing curb appeal. Just a beautiful, beautiful property all around.
(14:09):
We'll get to that in just a moment. You can
preview with though at Rockwisconsin dot com. That's r O
c K Wisconsin dot com. That house on Ludwig Road
in beautiful beautiful Rhyo. Talking this week about some of
the little things you can do when it comes to
kind of tighten things up around your house. And there
is an and I drive around and I see houses
(14:29):
with beautiful landscaping and really well manicured lawns, and I'm
always jealous. And I also it catches your eye like
it doesn't have to. And I don't think it's got
to be a ton of work for folks, But just
things like like edging and just having having some nice
plantings and and maybe a flower box or something like
that really goes a long way for curb appeal, doesn't it, Matt, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It does.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
You know, the edging thing, I don't know, why is
it so obvious, Like when when you're driving by a house, Yeah, edged, yeah,
that person cares. You know, you could have you could
have the inside of the house completely trash.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You would have no idea that's true, because you had
your lawn. Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I was just watching if I've got weeds coming up
through some of the some of the what do they
call those in concrete where like the expansion joints, I've
got weeds coming up through there, and so I've been
doing round up and I'm like, there's got to be
a better way. So I'm like watching this guy and
he's like super like he's got this perfect lawn and
he's like puts foam down there and some kind of.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Whoa, my goodness, I think I've got a level game. Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
So also like things I know, like a beautiful tree
and obviously shade and other things, but also don't forget
about the area around the tree. Maybe some mult or
some just like a really nice defined area really makes
that makes that look absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, I think you know.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
And there's multiple ways to do it, obviously, but fresh
mult alone is a big deal. But if you can
define that kind of circle around the tree, yeah, it
really makes the tree pop more. Whether that's retaining wall
or you know, if you do some landscape concrete edging.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Oh boy, yeah, that is great.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It's very it's it's very appealing. And you were talking
too earlier, Matt about some of the some of the
lighting for your house and and the fact that a
lot of it's LED now low voltage, which means runs
on batteries or can even be installed by a homeowner.
I've also a very popular option now is is pathway
lighting that used to be like a pretty significant investment
(16:29):
to do. Nowadays you can pick up some some whether
they're LED battery powered solar ones or or even like
the low voltage ones, those can be installed pretty affordably
and they make a huge, huge impact, don't they.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I mean we used to have to you know, dig
down and that little wire it almost looks like a
speaker wire, right, yeah, for you to have to bury that,
But not anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, No, you've got solar panels and such.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
And you know where that actually is is really helpful
is under the tree too.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
You can put I personally at one point.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
I mean, I think it's huttered out at this point,
but I had a thing that looked like a little boulder,
but it had a light in the back and it showed,
it shined up into the tree. So if you if
you do a few of those little, you know, token accents,
it makes a big deal with that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
When you get a consultation with a listing agent, is
some of this part of that conversation about maybe little
things that can really set the house apart. Is that
is that part of what you're getting when you're working
with this.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we can you know, obviously we
start with the interior and you know, you know say hey,
you know, yeah, maybe maybe remove this glamour shot, right yeah,
everybody in overalls, right yeah? But outside, yeah, you know,
there's Obviously, little things that you can do to uh,
to touch it up to to you know, have a
(17:43):
big impact on a small budget.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What about the overall cleaning. I think a pressure washer.
An afternoon with a pressure washer can go a real
long way, and overall curbabile can't.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, yeah, definitely can. And what is it the north
side that gets the most, right? I think it's the
north side of the house that gets that mildew build
up sometimes. I haven't had that issue of mine since
we don't have a ton of trees as you know,
it's only about ten year old home and there wasn't
a bunch of trees, but you know my previous house. Yeah,
whenever there's any sort of shade, that north side would
really get millday. So if you just you don't notice
(18:14):
it being dirty.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Right, but then after you clean it, you're like wow, Right.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
If you do notice it, that's yeah, if you do
notice it, definitely go get a pressure washer, rent it,
you know, make that happen.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, we've got a whole other issue at that point.
Talking this morning with Matt Heyman at Rockrealty Online Rock
Wisconsin dot com. That's Rock RCK Wisconsin dot com. I
just one one final thing with this, as we talked
about earlier, i'm your curb appeal and really staging and
setting up your home. That's some of the great stuff.
When you're working with the agents at Rock Realty, they
will help you, they will guide you, they will give
(18:47):
you all of that guidance to really make sure your
house looks absolutely fantastic in person and then the pictures,
and they do a great job with that. Speaking of
looking fantastic in pictures, this house at and forty and
fifty forty Ludwig Road in Ryo. I was just looking
at the pictures as we've been talking, just kind of
scrolling through. This is an absolutely gorgeous property, literally both
(19:10):
inside and out.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And we're just kind of tying in with our conversation
this week mentioned the acreage, mentioned the area there. But
these people really did put put a really they clearly
it's not something they've something they've been doing for a
long time. Yeah, they really put an emphasis on outside.
I see like an outside patio with a fireplace and
some other things.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
It's a really really great looking there's a number of
interior stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yea, so we've got we've got a soaking tub, tiled shower,
dual sinks. So we've got a large wreck room. Yes,
we have a wet bar, a fireplace in floor heat yes,
and a steam shower.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah.

It's it's got everything. And it also has an outbuilding
which I'm seeing in the pictures, which is like, so

have time to rehab a surgery in an operation. At
this point in my life, I didn't want to take
