MICHAEL K. KEEFECHAIRMAN, CEO

We saw sales volumes and transactions return to levels not

seen since 2005, something we have at various times in the

past only envisioned as a distant and elusive dream. Need-

less to say, we all are very relieved and pleased and hope to

expand on that recovery in 2016.

2016 will be noteworthy for us for various other reasons,

not the least of which is the promotion of my son Tom to

President of Keefe Real Estate. As a father, it is very grat-

ifying to pass the torch on to one of your own and know

that the future will be in excellent hands. At the same time,

my dear friend and long-time colleague, Steve Beers, will

remain in his office as our CEO. It is my intention to stay

out of their way while still remaining involved as Chairman.

One of the many projects Tom has been involved in is

LETTER FROM THE CEO

the rebranding of our magazine, Lake & Country, a signif-

icant component of our advertising and promotional pro-

gram, which is focused not only on our listed properties, but

also on the lifestyles and activities available to our clients

and friends. This issue is an example of that, with features

about a restaurant icon reborn as a dinner theatre, home

bars, and a mushroom safari, to name a few. I hope you

enjoy it.

As a father, it is very gratifying to pass the torch on to one of your own and know that the future will be in excellent hands.

2015 proved to be a watershed for both our company and the Southeastern Wisconsin real estate market in general.

INSIDER LOOK:

HOME BARA LOOK INTO FOUR SAVVY CUSTOM

MADE IN-HOME BARS WHOSE STORIES ARE DIFFERENT BUT WHOSE PURPOSE IS MEANINGFUL.

10 | SPRING 2016 |

This Fontana home, built in the early 1900s, offers warmth, charm, and elegance. The owners converted a former sleep-ing porch into a private bar room, maintaining several aspects of the original

house, such as oak bead board ceilings and textured walls. Sitting high up above

Geneva Lake, the room features what could easily be one of the best views of the

lake. The quaint four-stool bar was designed to bring close friends and family

together in a casual and warm atmosphere.

The room holds personal meaning as well. The space honors people and mo-

ments of great significance to the homeowners. Decor commemorating his father,

memories of their daughters engagement, and a personal throne behind the bar

fill this room with the personalities of the homeowners. Though this home bar

has the accommodations to entertain a small crowd, it is most often used as a

personal retreat. Whether it be a quiet lunch, an afternoon game, or drinks with

the family, this home bar is a favorite gathering place any time of year.

ENTER AS STRANGERS, LEAVE AS FRIENDS.So often this statement describes what happens in the local bars of Southeastern

Wisconsin. But what happens when the bar is found in the home? Whether built

for personal use, occasional hospitality, or boisterous entertaining, the home bar

is a bonus room that creates a unique social setting and offers a revealing reflec-

tion of a homeowners personality.

Lake & Country had the privilege of visiting four exquisite and unique in-home

bars. We toured historic, passion inspired, family oriented, and imported bars

around the Lakes Area. While each is unique and has an individual story and

purpose, they all share the similar function of bringing people together.

THE HISTORIC


SITTING HIGH UP ABOVE GENEVA LAKE, THE ROOM FEATURES WHAT COULD EASILY BE ONE OF THE BEST VIEWS OF THE LAKE

12 | SPRING 2016 |

Nearby, a Fontana homeowner dreamed of retiring on a boat in the Caymans, but he eventually traded this dream in order to stay close to friends and family. His home may not be floating in the Caribbean, but it is every bit

the boat he had always dreamed of. Working side by side

with the builders, this homeowner transformed the main

living areas into a replica of a yachts interior. The solid

oak floor was paneled and stained grey with hand painted

grooves to resemble the traditional teak flooring found in

many boats. Surrounded by wooden walls, the living room

and kitchen blend together seamlessly creating the per-

fect galley and salon.

The homeowners passion for the water is evident in each

detail of the space.

The perfectly executed bar, porthole windows, and

yacht style skylights would make any sailor feel right at

home in the hull. A murphy bed, for guests, sits quietly

between trophy cases that portray this homeowners ex-

cellence in his craft. This unique in-home bar pays tribute

to a dream that once was, and epitomizes the passion that

will always be.

DREAM

INSPIRED


Every once in a while, we find ourselves in a room that transports us. If there was ever such an in-home bar in the area,

it is embodied at The Vagabond, a

legendary home bar located just out-

side of Lake Geneva. The Vagabond

was built to resemble a quaint English

pub. In fact, several pieces of the room were directly imported from Europe. A

grand ornate bar commands attention in the center of the room. It stands proudly

against the wall, flanked by a dance floor on one side, complete with disco ball

and karaoke, with quaint booth style tables on the other. The bar itself has details

to match any old English pub. Stained glass windows, a brass foot rail, and dozens

of glasses hanging overhead give this bar a truly authentic feel.

The original owners of this special space desired an unusual place for enter-

taining. By paying attention to the smallest details, they succeeded. Little did

they know, it would become an area legend. Locals have either dreamed of seeing

the iconic bar, or have spectacular stories that are set in the space. Its new own-

ers look forward to carrying on the torch for more evenings of dancing, singing,

card playing, and drinks.

THE OPEN CONCEPT BAR IS LARGE ENOUGH

TO BOAST A TWO-WAY

FIREPLACE, WINE CELLAR,

PUTTING GREEN, AND RELAXING

SPACE WITH A COUCH BIG ENOUGH FOR

THE ENTIRE CREW


Of course, the home bar is not just for adults; it is a place for family and friends to gather regardless of age. These Fontana home-owners put a fresh twist on the in-home bar in order to en-

joy it with their children. As a young family, they needed a

space where the kids could relax with friends, while main-

taining an atmosphere that adults would appreciate as well.

The open concept bar is large enough to boast a two-way

fireplace, wine cellar, putting green, and relaxing space with

a couch big enough for the entire crew!

Replacing the traditional wooden bar counter with galva-

nized steel gives this space a family-friendly, contemporary

look. Scratches only add character, says the homeowner.

On the back wall, atop a backsplash of stone, hang two TVs

on either side of a beautiful double door wine cellar. The cel-

lar features LED lights that change color to fit any occasion.

The homeowners enjoy their bar as a place to set up a buffet

during sports games, host movie nights and wine tastings.

And theres plenty of room to give the ladies a place to have a

refreshment and chat as the men practice their putting close

by. This home bar will set the atmosphere for any occasion

while making everyone feel right at home.

An in-home bar is a place to gather with friends in the

comfort and intimacy of home. Whether the patrons are as

close as family, or new acquaintances that leave as friends,

the room provides a space to build new relationships and

cement old ones. So, pour a beverage and grab a stool. Mem-

ories are in the making.

Caring. Committed. Compassionate.Those three words speak not only to the mission of Keefe

Kares, but also to the generosity and character of the Keefe

agents and staff who make its local charitable work possible

year-round. In 2015, the Keefe Real Estate team collective-

ly raised a record-breaking $31,000 for regional charities

with the goal of even greater things to come.

The Keefe Family first established the Keefe Foundation

in 2006 as a charitable arm of the real estate company. For

nearly eight years, it operated as a successful matching pro-

gram for its agents and staff, giving thousands of dollars a

year to a wide variety of individual-designated 501c3 chari-

ties near and far.

But more recently, that perfect match got even better,

as the newly-focused Foundation effort, Keefe Kares, came

to full fruition. In 2014, Keefe executives Dennis Carnes and

Tom Keefe played integral roles in the programs creation.

We wanted to make an even greater, more meaningful im-

pact within the local communities we serve across Walworth,

Racine and Kenosha counties, recalled Dennis, who today

serves as Honorary Chairman of the Keefe Kares Board of

Directors. Our primary goal was to help more directly in the

places where we live and work, and in ways that reflect who

we are as real estate professionals and residents both.

Through many months of planning, Carnes and Keefe en-

listed the input of Keefe agents and staff on how best to roll

out a foundation program that would forge new and tangible

ties with close-to-home partners in core social service need

areas such as health, food, and shelter. Subsequently a

governing board was formed, served on by current Keefe

team members Tom Pederson, Alison Lieske Olsten, Janis

Hartley, Lisa Pitcher and Stacey Schultz, under Dennis

Carnes and Tom Keefes leadership.

Tom Keefe, now President of Keefe Real Estate, said,

Playing a leading role in improving the communities we

serve is core to our mission. 2015 was a truly inspiring first

year for Keefe Kares, and I am so proud of the entire Keefe

teams commitment and vision going forward. I firmly be-

lieve that every check Keefe can give to such worthy local

charities is an investment not just in that one place, but also

our collective future as a community.

In 2015, rolling-grant gifts of $250 - $5,000 were made by

the Keefe Kares board to the following 501c3 organizations,

following review of each organizations applications and need

priorities: The Sharing Center, TLC/Transitional Living

Center, Aquanuts Adaptive-Skiing Program, Delavan Food

Pantry, Lake Geneva Food Pantry, Elkhorn Food Pantry, Big

Foot Food Pantry, East Troy Food Pantry, Treehouse, Lake

Geneva Water Safety Patrol, Special Olympics, United Way,

VIP Services, Town Oaks Homeless Shelter, Open Arms Free

Clinic, Walworth County Alliance for Children, Lake Geneva

Conservancy, Love, Inc., Alliance for Prevention of Family

Violence, Whitewater Food Pantry, Kenosha Food Pantry.

Money raised by the Foundation for Keefe Kares comes

from several sources. Nearly 70 percent of the donations

come from individual agents and staff, many of whom have

contributions auto-deducted from every commission or pay-

check throughout the year. These contributions are further

matched by Keefe Real Estate. There is also a Board-spon-

sored Fall Harvest Party of gratitude and celebration for

Keefe team members and their families, sponsored by com-

munity partners Johnson Insurance, First Bank Center and

Southeast Title. Outside contributions to the 501c3 Keefe

Foundation, Inc. are also welcomed.

Another way Keefe Kares helps is through organizing

volunteer opportunities to help local non-profits with spe-

cial requests or ongoing needs. Dozens of Keefe agents and

employees served hundreds of hours of volunteer time in

2015, over and above their work hours doing everything

from cleaning out classrooms, to sending packages to our

soldiers, to gathering food and holiday gifts for those less

fortunate.

WRITTEN by Tom Fuszard

HOMEOWNERS TEND TO VIEW A DRIVEWAY AS JUST A PAVED SURFACE FROM THE ROAD TO THE GARAGE. YET IN ADDITION TO ITS OBVIOUS USE, A WELL-MAINTAINED ASPHALT DRIVEWAY CAN ADD IMMENSE VISUAL APPEAL, THEREBY ENHANCING THE VALUE OF THE HOME AND PROPERTY.

WELL-MAINTAINED DRIVEWAY ENHANCES PROPERTY

VALUEDIY

VS.

HIRING A CONTRACTOR

Ah, the rich, gorgeous black of a newly

paved driveway. Wouldnt it be nice if

it would stay that way? With proper

maintenance, it can, says Chris Meis-

ner, In fact, a properly maintained

driveway can last up to 25 years.

Meisner, who owns BTL Asphalt Ser-

vices in Elkhorn, Wisconsin explains

that regular treatment is an inexpen-

sive method of keeping your drive-

way looking new while also helping to

maintain your homes value.

That dark, smooth finish comes

from the oils and minerals in the as-

phalt. Meisner explains. Over time,

UV light oxidizes the oils, and weath-

er loosens the stones. Left untreated,

asphalt deteriorates and breaks apart.

Its once rich dark color becomes a

light gray.

Cracks are the first indication of breakdown, Meisner says, Maintenance is

critical at that point and if left alone they eventually spread. You can expect a

5-10% growth in cracks for each year that your driveway remains untreated.

A typical driveway can be sealcoated in 1.5 to 2 hours, but the sealcoat needs

about 24 hours to dry thoroughly. The hot tar used to seal cracks sets up in min-

utes. If thats the only work done, the driveway can be used immediately.

DO IT YOURSELF VS.

HIRING A CONTRACTOR

Smaller driveways [up to 700 square feet] could be sealcoated by the homeowner

that feels comfortable with the project. Typical subdivision driveways run 1,000

1,500 sq. ft., however, and will most likely require professional treatment. The

cost for a professionally treated driveway of that size would range somewhere

between $165 and $225, and the number and size of the cracks would be a major

factor. That treatment could last up to two years, which is twice as long as a DIY

project would last. And you dont have to get dirty, Meisner says.

But if your budget is limited, focus on filling cracks, Meisner advises. Un-

filled cracks will multiply and cause more problems. Sealcoating alone will not

correct those.


HOW TO SELECT A CONTRACTOR

Meisner says there are several factors to

consider when selecting a contractor:

> MAKE SURE YOUR CONTRACTOR

IS INSURED. Mistakes can happen,

and you need to be sure the company

will return to correct the error. You

might save some money going with

an uninsured contractor, but you

could be left trying to fix any prob-

lem afterward.

> MAKE SURE THEY PROVIDE A

WARRANTY. Find out if the firm will

stand behind its work should a defect

show up afterward. A good warranty

is two years for sealcoating and one

year for crack filling.

> CHECK FOR A SOLID RATING WITH

BBB.

> LOOK FOR REFERENCES AND EX-

AMPLES OF WORK DONE NEAR-

BY. Meisner suggests visiting the

property and talking with the prop-

erty owner.

> ASK IF THE FIRM USES CONCEN-

TRATED SEALCOAT. Some contrac-

tors dilute the sealcoat with water to

save themselves some money. That

kind of application can look good

for six to eight months, but will then

wear off, he explains.

SEAL CRACKS REGULARLY

MAINTENANCE EVERY 2

OR 3 YEARS

BEFORE SEALCOATING ASK EXPERT

VISUAL IMPACT ON HOUSE

CONCLUSION

When any guest comes up the driveway on your property, if you have a nicely

sealcoated, black drive it makes a big difference! Meisner says. And its not a

lot of money.

A driveway is easy to ignore, at least until it needs repair. By then, the deteriora-

tion could be significant. Regular maintenance, performed by you or a contrac-

tor, is an inexpensive investment that will significantly extend the life of your

On acres of sun kissed grass surrounded by gardens, woods and horse stables sits the country estate. While the beautiful lakes of Southeastern Wisconsin get most of the attention, the rolling fields between the waters edge quietly sit, bathing in the warm light of winter sunsets and summer sun rises. Welcome gates are the starting points to driveways that lead to these exquisite private escapes. Country Estates offer buyers a different slice of Southeastern Wisconsin heaven. Keefe agents have been travelling these country roads for decades, and wed be happy to show you that some of the areas best-kept secrets lie between the lakes.

GENEVA NATIONAL establishes a unique and desirable type of living in the Geneva Lakes area. This beautifully kept gated community just on the outskirts of Lake Geneva has made a name for itself by hosting a

top rate 54-hole golf course, award winning steakhouse, newly renovated club house, and exclusive residen-

tial pool area for yourself and family to enjoy. Geneva National not only provides a neatly kept living environ-

ment, it also guarantees around the clock community security for both its visitors and its residents. Downtown

Lake Geneva and all of its social and dining adventures lay just a short easy drive down Highway 50.

THECOMPANYWE KEEPOur agents can be found hard at work

virtually every day of the year, person-

ally focused on transforming their cli-

ents realty dreams into life-enhancing

realities. They are all experts in their

field, specially trained and uniquely

accomplished. They are further com-

mitted to the highest level of customer

service and satisfaction, a standard that

has characterized the Keefe Real Estate

company mission for over 75 years.

How do we measure success at

Keefe? It is true that our agents sell

more homes than anyone else in Wal-

worth County/Southeastern Wiscon-

sin, and top-tier sales rankings are

common among them. But, that is just

a small part of a much bigger story.

Time and time again, our agents tell us

that the thing that really drives them day-in-day-out is

the challenge and the privilege of making a real difference

in their clients lives - helping them buy, sell or rent that

one-of-a-kind dream called home. Its a big job, a hard

job, and, at their highest level of professionalism,

it is a proud and inspiring one.

Keefe agents are top achievers in oth-

er ways, too. In 2015, these community

leaders helped the Keefe Kares Founda-

tion raise more than $30,000, most of

this through their own individual dona-

tions. This money in turn supported over

20 charities in many local neighborhoods

throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. Many

agents give back through volunteer service, too.

We at Keefe could not be prouder of this truly special

team of Realtors. We congratulate and commend each

and every one of them for their professional and personal

accomplishments, for the benefit of so many.

Real estate is more than profession at Keefe; it is a passion.
