S.C. Swiderski Hosts SCS Chilton Groundbreaking Ceremony
S.C. Swiderski and the Chilton County Chamber of Commerce hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the multi-family project, SCS Chilton, on September 13th. We were joined by Chilton Mayor Thomas Reinl, City Administrator David DeTroye, Chamber representatives, community members and partners on the project including MSA Professional Services and Abby Bank.
SCS Chilton features 102 market rate apartment homes with 14 different floor plans ranging from 702 to 1360 sq. ft. On the site, there will be 15 multi-family buildings total using 3 different building styles which include one, two and three bedroom apartments and three bedroom duplexes. The site also has a property management office for the onsite property management team from S.C. Swiderski. Each apartment home has an attached or detached garage included, separate entrances, private laundry and either a patio space or balcony. Rent rates include heat, water, sewer, cable, Wi-Fi, trash, lawn care and snow removal. The apartment homes are pet friendly for cats and dogs under 50 pounds. SCS Chilton is in a convenient location located off of Irish Road just south of US Highway 151.
“We appreciate the support of the Mayor, municipal staff and Mr. DeTroye for this project. Their partnership was key to making this project feasible. We are excited to bring quality housing to this community,” said Jacqui McElroy, Director of Business Development at S.C Swiderski. SCS Chilton will provide a variety of maintenance-free housing options at a wide range of price points adding much needed housing in the area. S.C. Swiderski is working with local subcontractors and tradespeople on the project and are committed to being an active member of the Chilton community for the long-term by adding property management jobs on-site and contributing to local charitable organizations through their CAS Committee.
GUEST BLOG | MORGAN | HOMES CONCIERGE
When I was 3 years old, I was sitting in the shopping carts asking complete strangers to go home with them, solely to go and look at their home. Old or new, interior, or exterior, I was and always have been so invested in learning and seeing what each home had to offer.
If I am being completely honest, I never thought it was possible to find a job that would fulfill my dream to work with homes. It wasn’t until the end of my Marketing Internship with SCS that I knew it was possible. SCS mentioned they were launching a single-family homes division and they were willing to give me a shot at this brand-new position titled Homes Concierge.
As you can see, I ended up taking the position. My position here at SCS entails being with one of our homes from the very beginning all the way to the end. I plan which floorplan and model is built, where it is built and if the subdivision will be aesthetically appealing. The next step is selecting interior and exterior finishes and materials. Exterior materials include but are not limited to shake, siding, board, and batten while interior materials include but are not limited to countertops, cabinetry, flooring, light fixtures, and tile. After everything is selected, I move to the next step of the process, working with the client to ensure the home has everything they want, make changes if applicable, and take them through the purchasing process. This is the part of the job that is very interesting to me. I graduated with a degree in communications; therefore, I find communicating with others very engaging. Every person, every home, every location is different, this allows me to do different things every day. While communicating with someone, you must read the situation, the person, and the home you are working with. There is not one way to communicate with a person rather there are several ways which makes every day different.
Graduating school and immediately stepping into this position has allowed me to use the knowledge I have and to learn from the other employees around me. If I have a question about any matter, I can always count on someone from SCS to know the answer. Every employee is always eager to help one another succeed which makes a great work environment.
Never in a million years did I think I would end up working in the position I am now. I never thought it was possible to do so many things I always loved to do. Needless to say, my three-year-old self would be very proud.
SCS Real Estate Continues to Grow
SCS Real Estate, a division of S.C. Swiderski, LLC., is growing its team. Recently, SCS Real Estate welcomed four new Realtors, Keena Edholm, Pat McElroy, Shayne Fellenz and Morgan Wardall. The new agents are licensed under Broker Samantha Cricks at SCS Real Estate.
Keena Edholm and Pat McElroy are part of the Swiderski Group at SCS Real Estate; the team provides a great client experience. Keena Edholm comes to SCS Real Estate with one and a half years of real estate experience. Her favorite part of being a Realtor is meeting new people, making friends, and helping them start a new chapter in their life whether that is buying or selling their home. “Helping people buy and invest in their future is one of my favorite parts about being a Realtor. It is exciting to help people own their own property, pride in ownership is priceless,” says Keena.
Pat McElroy joins SCS Real Estate with seven years of industry experience. He has been a licensed agent for one year. His favorite part of the role is seeing the history of the houses. “I love to see and imagine all of the stories that each property holds,” says Pat. The most rewarding part of his job is the final walk-through for both sides. “For buyers, I love seeing their excitement at the purchase of a new home. For sellers, there is a sense of relief that they can move on to their next step. Either way, helping clients reach their real estate goal is the absolute best!”
SCS Homes is a division of S.C. Swiderski, LLC; two of its employees are now licensed agents as well. SCS Homes Coordinator, Shayne Fellenz, and SCS Homes Concierge, Morgan Wardall, have recently obtained their real estate salesperson licenses. Shayne Fellenz assists the development team with evaluating different housing markets throughout the state of Wisconsin and choosing which homes are the best fit for each community they invest in. Morgan Wardall serves as the main point of contact for interested buyers to get information about any of their home’s locations, floorplans, materials, and finishes. Now that they both are licensed agents, they will work directly with the home buyers in the beginning design phases through the finished product and final purchase of the home.
Broker Samantha Cricks explained, “It is an exciting time for the brokerage. I am thrilled to have quality agents working at SCS Real Estate to provide the service buyers and sellers deserve. As we expand into home building, we are ensuring the same level of service throughout the home building experience as well.”
