Festival Foods Green Bay Amazing Customer Service Experience

Festival Foods Green Bay Amazing Customer Service Experience

Over the weekend my sweetheart made a trip to our local Festival Foods in Green Bay WI to pick up some essentials for the weekend. When she came back from Festival Foods Green Bay we realized that we were missing a few items from our order. I decided to go back to Festival Foods in Green Bay and talk with the customer service gal named Annette and told her what had happened. I made it clear that I wasn’t sure if we had made a mistake but assured her that we had looked for the items multiple times.

Festival Foods Customer Service is amazing

What was extremely interesting about this whole situation was how it was handled. Annette immediately took action and asked me what items we were missing. She then told me to go pickup those items and that they would take care of the mistake. She was very apologetic and very sincere. After bringing the items back she immediately took care of them and handed me a couple dollars worth of Festival Foods coupons for the inconvenience. The coupons said I apologize in big letters across the top. So you may be thinking big deal pretty standard stuff I strongly disagree. There is a reason that Festival Foods in Green Bay WI has expanded all across the state. They have amazing customer service and a grocery store appeal that is like shopping in luxury.

Interesting correlation with Festival Foods and UnMarketing by Scott Stratten

I’m a huge business book reader and I was introduced to an amazing book from my good friend Thomas Clifford and Chris Smith called UnMarketing by Scott Stratten. I read this book a couple of weeks ago and have been going back to it referencing it and really studying what Scott message was. The most interesting thing about this whole Festival Foods customer service experience situation is how it relates exactly to the message of UnMarketing and how the old world business philosophies are pretty much old news and how the new world is all about engagement and being remarkable. Festival Foods did exactly that in how they handled a situation where I’m sure other grocery stores may have handled it completely differently.

If your looking for a different style of grocery stores that provides an amazingly high level of customer service you need to stop in at Festival Foods in Green Bay WI.

Green Bay Homes – First Time Home buyers helpful hints

Green Bay Homes – First Time Home buyers helpful hints

To say that purchasing your first Green Bay Home isn’t an easy task would sometimes be an understatement. However if your adequately prepared and educated on the process you’ll find that a stressful process can turn into a fun event, that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. We’ve put together a few basic tips that can ease the uneasy feeling of not knowing some basic principles.

Green Bay Homes Your first big purchase

The most important thing to do before you even start browsing the internet looking for at Green Bay Homes is to first step back and look at finding out how much you can actually spend. Countless times I’ve talked to buyers who want to go see Green Bay homes right away. This is a big no-no for multiple reasons. One of the first things that can happen is sometimes disappointment, for instance if you fall in love with a Green Bay Home that you saw on the internet you go see it with a Green Bay Realtor to no surprise you fall head over heals for this house. The Green Bay Realtor who did a pour job educating this buyer finds out that they can only qualify for $150,000 when the property is $200,000. If your Green Bay Realtor hasn’t suggested that you get pre-approved first, you might want to consider hiring a Real Estate Consultant that is focused on educating you on the home buying process. This step alone will make your home buying experience much more pleasurable.

Get pre-approved for your first Green Bay Home

In this new world and interesting lending environment it’s now more important than ever to work with a Green Bay mortgage consultant that has a ton of experience doing loans in the past three to six months. You might think why is that important? Well the rules have changed on what seems like a daily basis from lending guidelines, to appraisal requirements, and so on. If you work with someone that’s extremely active they will be up to speed on all the new guideline changes and in turn will make your home buying process so much more pleasant. We have two lenders that we work exclusively with that we trust our children with. If one of my lenders drops the ball on anything they know that at anytime I can shut off the flow of qualified home buyers to them. This has proven to be a win win strategy for my clients and the lenders that I work exclusively with. If you would like to have me setup a meeting with one of our trusted lenders just hit the Contact button on the top of the page. We will have someone with contact with you within 12 hours.

Prepare for the fine tooth comb that you’ll be feeling when getting a mortgage

Getting pre-approved is relatively a simple process. You will need to submit w-2′s for the past two years, recent pay check stubs, taxes for the last two years, any 401k or retirement assets you might have. The more prepared you are on the front end for handing over all of your relative documents the quicker you’ll understand that if you want to purchase that Green Bay Home you have to abide by the rules of the banks. Your mortgage consultant will go over what’s called your debt to income ratio and will pull your credit bureau for all three agencies. You are able to get a copy of your credit report when they pull this information and I would advise you to request this if your not given it automatically.

If your not scared away by anything above your ready to start the fun part of the home buying process and that’s actually looking at homes that match your search criteria. Make sure you work with a Green Bay Real Estate Consultant that has extensive experience helping first time Green Bay Home buyers. Ask for references, testimonials, and interview them for the job. As always if you have questions feel to give me a call at 920-215-1637

Green Bay Homes for Sale – Do your homework on Schools

brandonmatson — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:41:09 +0000

Green Bay Homes for Sale – Do your homework on Schools

If you thinking about purchasing a Green Bay Homes for Sale you should take into consideration doing extensive research of schools in the district you’ll be purchasing your Green Bay Homes. Ben and Kathy from New Homes Section blog do an excellent job of explaining the importance of schools and how it can help or hurt value.

It’s no surprise that schools that have high test rankings tend to have less days on market and sell for a higher price than areas with schools that are not. In Green Bay we are thankful to have an excellent school system that provides a wide variety of options for students.

Research Schools before Buying a Home | New Homes Section Blog

Prospective homebuyers don’t always think about schools when looking for a home- maybe they don’t have children or they’ve grown up and moved out. However, we think schools are ALWAYS an important consideration when looking for a home. Why? Because the success or failure of schools will, over time, affect whether property values rise or fall.

So, what research should you be doing as you are looking for a home to buy? If you don’t have children and don’t plan to have any while in this home, you likely can get a comfort level after doing only some basic research. We like GreatSchools and SchoolDigger: along with useful statistics, GreatSchools will rank the schools in the city you are researching on a scale of 1-10 and also posts reader reviews; SchoolDigger ranks on a 5-star system and also shows rankings by test scores. Homes for sale in a school district with unusually low rankings compared to surrounding school districts shouldn’t necessarily be eliminated but should give you pause and perhaps reason for further research. And remember to check the availability of nearby Private Schools- a quality private or charter school can raise property values as well.

Other “school” considerations are proximity to schools, traffic, trends and future school redistricting. Sometimes relative proximity to a school can be a plus; however, if a school is too close to a neighborhood you are considering, you may want to drive the area during drop-off and pick-up times to see if the neighborhood is overly congested. Also think about the noise factor, particularly if the school has a football stadium or practice fields (think band noise). Trends are another consideration, particularly if there is an alarming drop in test scores. Its also a good idea to check to see if the school has announced plans to either build or close schools in the area you are considering- many times you can find information about redistricting on the school district’s website. In our sales area, we’ve often seen a “pop” in values when a new school is built.
