In January, HomeSale Realty will open the new location for its Oak Creek office. The 4,500-square-foot office will be located in the new Guardian Credit Union building at 7801 S. Howell Ave. at the intersection of Howell and Drexel. The new HomeSale office offers class-A office space in an excellent location that will accommodate approximately 60 agents, the company said. The firm’s Oak Creek office is currently located at 934 E. Rawson Ave. "We’re very excited about our new office," said Marie Alba, manager of the Oak Creek HomeSale Realty office. "It’s a brand new building with private offices available and an excellent location for our agents to be working the southeast suburban and Milwaukee areas. This new location will only enhance our position in the real estate marketplace. It will also offer a great opportunity for veteran agents to come and join the HomeSale Realty family, especially when they see that they will have the top technology right at their fingertips."
In announcing the new office, HomeSale Realty executives also expressed confidence in the slumping housing market.
"We believe it will bottom out in spring of 2008 before it has a seasonal pick-up," said Roy Scholtka, president of HomeSale Realty. "People who are working hard in the real estate industry are having record years. There will always be people who have to sell and those who have to buy. The market will come back, and we are excited about the future."
"Despite what much of what’s been reported in the news media, it really isn’t a bad market because there are great real estate deals out there," added Alba. "The sellers haven’t yet realized that they can’t get what they thought they could for their house. Nobody’s getting $40,000 (property value increase) after living in their house for one year. Those days are over. But with the affordable interest rates, there is money to be had for mortgages. If you don’t have a house to sell and you want to buy a house, you’re in the peach orchard!"
Currently in its sixth year of operation, HomeSale Realty is one of the largest real estate companies in southeastern Wisconsin, with more than 200 agents.
