Baker join us right now with clients first, and to Keller Williams, how
are you, sir? I'm great today. I'm excited to have you in
here. It's been a couple of weeks. It has been busy time a
year for you guys, though, isn't it It is? You know,
and we enjoy it and sometimes you get a little tired at the end of
the day. But well, but the thing that's nice. I've heard the
phrase, and you come from a farming background, you've heard the phrase,
make hay while the sun is shining. That's exactly this is the time.
So if people right now are thinking, you know, I've wanted to sell
this house, but I just haven't gotten around to it, or hey,
you know, I've been thinking maybe I should buy a house and I just
haven't gotten around to it. And I know, interest rates just dip down
a little bit, so that's that's a good thing. But this could be
there's no time like the present to say, let's buy, let's sell,
let's get this done. But one of the things we're gonna talk about today
is you've got a checklist things that you can do to avoid costly repairs.
And I think this is really cool, the whole maintenance checklist. This will
help even if I'm not in the market to buy or sell a house.
If I've got a house, I want to take care of that, don't
I, Well, you do. It's a very large investment, and shelter
is a big requirement for everybody's life. So whether you're buying today or tomorrow,
you really need a place to go and to protect that investment. And
so as a realtory, you walk through some properties and you see occasionally a
property that's been let go, and sometimes it's because they are so busy with
kid activities. But at some point it needs to be corrected or it becomes
a big issue. A small thing becomes that big issue, and it also
detracts from your property and then that will cost you in the end, because
now when it's time to sell, if this problem that was a little thing
turned into a big thing all of a sudden, that decrease the value of
the property correct it could become an appraisal issue, it could become a health
or safety issue, and people are caught off guard or they say, well,
I want to sell it as is. Well, bear in mind a
lot of buyers don't have skills. Yeah, and when they're buying a home,
they don't have extra cash. And there are things that on this checklist
MC and things like the roof and the gutters, and you know that's probably
a good place to start. Start at the top and work your way down.
And we got sighting and other things, but let's start with the roof.
What should they look at it when it comes to making sure the roof
is taken care of. One is what is the age of the shingles on
that home. Some areas of head hailstorms, so it's getting a rough inspector
up there to evaluate is there storm damage, how much granular loss is there?
And sometimes we have nail pops or we have exposed nails on say the
vents that need to be cocked. I just looked at an inspection report this
morning, and we can see where the rough vents have lifted up, and
so there's potential for moisture to get back underneath. When I looked at the
other day, there were some pretty significant hail damage on event. Seller is
saying, well, I don't remember a hailstorm here for several years, but
again the evidence was there, and those shingles were older and so not much
grain left. So it's important to know that your roof is good because the
outside pieces of your home, your roof, you're sighting your windows. Think
of those as an envelope. Yeah, the really important part in a letter
is the contents of that piece of paper inside. Yeah, but the envelope
is what protects it and delivers it to its final destination. And that's what
the shell of your house is. So even though you like your pretty kitchen
and bathrooms and all of that, the extraor of your home is actually the
most important piece. If it's not moisture resistant, all of a sudden,
inside you've got water problems and mold problems and a lot of problems, a
lot of problems. Make sure it's taken care of on the outside first.
Another thing now on the list er was gutters, and sometimes it's probably just
as simple as making sure they're cleaned out. Because the home that we bought,
they had a weird gutter syste them. And then I got up to
look at the gutters and they were full of mud, just like gunk and
like rotted leaves. So the gutter system that they had that was supposed,
you know, this weird gutter system to get the water away, it was
pointless because they were full. Well, that's exactly it. You have to
keep them clean. And even on new construction. I have been up on
the roof of new construction and looked into gutters and you go, well,
how did that stuff get in there? Yeah, But so at any age
you have to check your gutters. I have a neighbor with a beautiful,
big evergreen, but it gives off needles and cones and so that tends to
block it up. And gutters are a really important piece because you want to
get that moisture not away from the foundation of your house. Sometimes people have
water inter basements and they don't know why, Well, there's no gutters,
or the gutters are full and the downs boats are not crying the water away
from the foundation. Yeah, that's a lot of foundation issues are related to
poor gutters. We're no gutters, and that's a recipe for disaster. If
you've got water just sitting there, it's got to go somewhere. It does.
And we're talking right now, going through a checklist, and we're going
to wrap up today, but we're going to continue this conversation next week about
whole maintenance checklist. And if somebody listening is going, hey, I'd kind
of like to get a copy of that. Can they reach out to you

history brought to you by the Sioux Falls Fund Page and Sunny ninety three point
three. It was on this day, June twenty fourth, nineteen seventy eight,
a strange set of circumstances put Soue Falls citizen and Chief Justice of South
Dakota Supreme Court, Roger Woman, swearing in his younger brother, Harvey Woman,
as Governor of South Dakota. Roger Woman had served as an associate justice
on the state Supreme Court for ten years before becoming Chief Justice in nineteen seventy
eight. At the time, his younger brother, Harvey was the lieutenant governor
of South Dakota. Some jested that if, by some strange circumstance, Governor
Kneipe and other so falls politician couldn't complete his term, Roger Woman would get
the chance to swear in his little brother as governor. Bella's fate would have
it. Five months before the end of his term as governor, Governor Knipe
was appointed by President Jimmy Carter as the US Ambassador to Singapore, so of
course he was required to resign as governor of South Dakota. Harvey Woman is
the only lieutenant governor in South Dakota history to succeed the governor's office. He
had served for three and a half years as the lieutenant governor, finishing out
the last five months of the term for Governor Richard Knipe. To make matters
even more strange, Harvey Woman had run and lost in the primary to be
the Democratic nominee in the governor race that fall, so he was the governor
for five months. Didn't even have the opportunity to run to keep the seat.
The Democratic candidate, by the way, was Roger mckillops. He was
defeated handily by Governor Bill Janklow. This day in Sue Fall's history has been

to you by Genesis Gooldira dot com. Equity markets advanced the previous week,
but the sign of economic cracking continues to grow. The S and P five
hundred moved higher for the session and set another new high despite the signs of
cracking and an expectation for the FOMC to hike rates by another twenty five basis
points. The move would put the base rate at the highest level in nearly
two decades, and there's a chance this won't be the last cut. More
information will come out Wednesday with the Fed's policy statement and Friday when the PC
Price Index is released. This is also the busiest week of the Q two
earnings reporting season. Nearly two hundred s and p five hundred companies will be
reporting. That brings the total for the season close to fifty percent. There's
a high expectation that the season will end better than expected relative to a start,
but the outlook continues to decline. In this scenario, there is little
reason for the market to sustain a rally and every reason to think a top
in the market is near. You could get the inside track in your inbox
