Cool house of the day, compliments of Front Door.com. Working in the real estate business, I find it interesting to look at interesting houses. Hopefully, readers will find it interesting too.
Front Door is one of the national real estate websites that First Weber pushes our listings to through our Front Runner Multi Media program. Have you searched for real estate on national websites like Front Door or Trulia before? What did you think of the experience there? Were listings easy or hard to find? Our experience is that some of those sites are heard to search, or hard to search for an individual property. We can tell people are searching these sites for Wisconsin real estate because everytime someone clicks through to a First Weber listing from a national real estate website we feed to, Front Runner records a hit. We have found it to be beneficial added exposure for First Weber listings.
One difficulty of feeding to national websites is that we don't control the display nor the updating of the listings like we do on firstweber.com. However, each listing we push out, does always have a link back to the listing on firstweber.com for up-to-date information.
We will be doing a redesign of firstweber.com in the near future. If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see added, please tell us by making a comment.
Wausau Relay for Life
The Wausau version of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life was held last Friday and Saturday at John Muir Middle School track. First Weber entered a team captained by Karen Harvey. Multiple First Weber agents walked throughout the night to raise funds.
The First Weber Group Foundation was one of the sponsors for the event with a contribution of $2,500. That along with contributions and fund raisers allowed our local Grand Ave and Rib Mountain Office to raise more than $5,000 for the Relay.

You are reading this blog. What other blogs do you read? First Weber is a Wisconsin-wide broker and covering all the topics can be difficult and wide spread. What do you want to see here? More local content? Agent comments welcome. That is where the local Wisconsin real estate content would come from. Or are you interested in Wisconsin real estate statistics? We could get those for you also, if you find them interesting. We are interested in involving the consumer and their thoughts -- what are your thoughts and questions?
This should be interest to first time home buyers for sure. We are here and are always ready to help you. That is the bottom line. And beyond that -- we know you always have questions. Ask away. This forum is for you.
