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.”

S.C. Swiderski Hosts SCS Fox Point Grand Opening Ceremony

S.C. Swiderski hosted a Grand Opening ceremony for our SCS Fox Point apartment homes on August 22nd. S.C. Swiderski was joined by many partners on the project including Steve Haas, Dave Johnson, LaDonna Fermanich, Lori Anderson, and Mark Weix from the city of Merrill. They were also joined by Fred Siemers from Paper City Savings as well as Clyde Nelson, Cheryl Skoung, Sara Sturm, Sue Kunkel, Rob Moore, and Mark Raymer from the Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce.

During the ceremony, S.C. Swiderski recognized 2 recipients of their $30,000 giveaway in celebration of their 30th anniversary, each receiving $1,000. These organizations were Lincoln County Humane Society and Community Food Pantry. These organizations were selected by S.C. Swiderski employees.

During the ceremony, Senior Marketing Coordinator from S.C. Swiderski, Samantha Miller, explained the project. SCS Fox Point features 56 market rate apartment homes with 6 different floor plans ranging from 702 to 1244 sq. ft. for tenants to choose from. On the site, there will be 5 multi-family buildings total using 2 different building styles. Each unit comes with an attached or detached garage included with the apartment. All apartments have private laundry and either a patio space or balcony. All apartments include heat, water, sewer, cable, Wi-Fi, trash, lawn care and snow removal in the rent rates. The apartment homes are pet friendly for cats and dogs under 50 pounds. SCS Fox Point is in a convenient location and easily accessible to the community. The apartments also have on-site management who is ready to respond to the needs of the tenants. “We are so excited about the progress – 3 buildings have opened along with our property management office. The final building is set to open in just a few short weeks,” explained Samantha Miller.

Construction by S.C. Swiderski Construction began last summer under the direction of site superintendent Brian Winter. Lease up activity has been strong and is being managed by S.C. Swiderski Property Management headed by Leasing Manager Kari Kussow and Area Manager Mike Manning. 

After the ceremony, guests were invited to enjoy some snacks and drinks provided by S.C. Swiderski and guests toured the apartment homes.
