A reminder -- waterfront property owners with large existing piers have until April 1, 2011 to register those piers under the grandfathering provisons of the new pier regulations if they want to avoid possible enforcement actions due to noncompliance with the new pier size standards.  Link to the DNR Pier Planner Link to the DNR interactive ...

A couple of weeks back I decided to create a Facebook "community" page for Manitowish Waters -- a "company" page already exists called Manitowish Waters. Wisconsin -- but it wasn't quite what I had in mind.  Nor the "city" page, which draws from Wikipedia.  I thought that perhaps I could do ...

Have you ever watched the Discover Wisconsin television program?  I have from time-to-time and now I actually have a real reason to -- the episode scheduled to air April 3rd features Manitowish Waters.  The 30 minute program is titled "Manitowish Waters - We've Got It All" and will be broadcast locally at 6:30 P.M. on ...

  Today I have uploaded my first videos to my new YouTube channel featuring real estate related videos of (I hope) interest to buyers and sellers of real estate in Manitowish Waters, Presque Isle, Mercer, and surrounding communities.  James Cameron and Martin Scorsese have nothing to fear from me -- shaky camera, poor ...

I read it over and over in real estate and business trade publications and on the web -- gotta change, gotta adapt, gotta do this, gotta do that.  One thing I apparently have to do is to embrace "social media".  Well, maybe I do, and maybe I don't.  I'm picky about such things, ...

It's winter.  It's spring.  It's winter again!  Now it's spring again.  Just Tuesday we had quite a little spring snowstorm that caused a fair amount of accumulation, but by this morning, Thursday, it was mostly gone.  However, we still had a fairly large ice sheet on the lake this morning.  It ...

I am here in Green Bay to attend the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association Designation Week and complete the education requirements for the GRI (Graduate REALTOR® Institute) designation. I have been working on the GRI designation for several years, ...

Our local multiple listing service, the Greater Northwoods Multiple Listing Service, is in the process of switching vendors of our MLS software and data storage. Beginning this Friday, January 23rd, our present vendor (Realty Server) will begin transferring data to our new vendor (MarketLinx), and if all goes according to plan, at noon Wednesday, ...

Oh, what to do.  The snowmobile trails opened on Tuesday; Whitecap, Indianhead, and Big Powderhorn have been open for downhill skiing for weeks; the cross-country ski trails at the Discovery Center and at North Lakeland Elementary School have been groomed and tracked; and one could drop a line through the ice if so inclined.  And then ...

The snowmobile trails in Vilas County officially opened today at 8:00 A.M.  At that time this morning it was a balmy -18 degrees F (that's minus 18 degrees) here in Manitowish Waters, following yesterday when the high was only -3 degrees with wind chills of -40 or better.  I drove by a section of the trail shortly after 8 and it ...
