This past weekend, the Eleven 20 RE team from our Franklin office, teamed up with Supreme Construction to help families less fortunate during the holidays. "To help these families, we made bags containing everything needed to make the perfect family feast for the holidays and handed them out. The look on these people's faces was nothing short of amazing, and stood as a reminder to what we stand for here at Eleven20; that helping people always needs to come first" noted Tina Elsner Reddick. Through their efforts, over 100 families were provided a meal to share together. "We continue to be proud of our Sales Executives and their commitment to community" said Dana Keegan, Chief Operating Officer at Realty Executives Integrity. "As a company, we understand the impact we have in our industry should extend past the closing table."
The team of ELEVEN20 of Realty Executives Integrity is powered by Tina Reddick, Teri Hayes and Sharon Kugi.

Winter will soon be upon us, and it is time to start thinking about how to winterize your home. But where should you start? Here are six easy tips that will keep your home warm, secure, and efficient during the cold winter months.
1. Avoid Drafts
Cold drafts can make their way under doors and through windows, which will force you to turn up the heat and thus increase your heating bill. The U.S Department of Energy has stated that reducing drafts in your home can save 30% of your annual energy usage.
You can install draft guards to block the draft and keep the heat inside your house. You can purchase draft guards for as little as 10 dollars, or make a DIY draft guard with a rolled up towel or blanket.
2. Install Storm Windows and Doors
Installing storm windows and doors will block drafts and provide more warmth without having to bump up the thermostat.
Storm windows and doors will increase the amount of light that is able to enter your home, and they will help minimize the amount of airflow from outside. This will be a great help when the temperature starts to drop and the cold winds begin.
3. Seal Leaks and Cracks
If you’re going to seal a drafty door or window, it makes sense to also seal any other cracks or leaks in your house. Whether it’s a leak in a window frame, cracks in the wall, cracks in brick, cracks near your chimney, or even the small holes where wires or pipes are installed, these openings can allow cold air into your home.
You can either hire a professional to seal these leaks, or you can easily do it yourself with caulking or weatherstripping. This type of winter home maintenance is crucial for staying warm and keeping your home energy efficient.

Gina Dingman is a name that people in her community know well and Realty Executives Integrity is honored to be associated with such a strong woman. Gina has spent the last 16 years actively involved in real estate in East Troy and has served her community with excellence. She found her start in real estate when her path crossed with the developer of a subdivision that her engineering firm was working on. This developer noticed her gift and suggested that she get her license in order to sell the homes in a new subdivision he was opening. With this nudge and the support of her family, she jumped in to a career in real estate and it has been a great fit ever since.
She loves living in East Troy and “wanted to stay local to sell homes”. When the new construction market slowed down Gina was looking to grow in her career; Realty Executives Integrity allowed her to do just that with our office located on the Square in the center of East Troy. Living and working in a community that allows her to see those she works with brings her great joy. “I love to be at the grocery store or gas station and see my past customers”, she says.
Gina loves the flexibility that working in real estate has provided for her and her family. It has enabled her the time to give back to local organizations. She is passionate about supporting the United Way of Walworth County and serves as a Board Member for this organization. She says, “I love giving to agencies that help people in my own backyard”.
When asked what her favorite part of real estate is, Gina joyfully replied “My relationships! All of them. Buyers, seller, some of the amazing co-broke agents that I have met and my office team.” At any given time during the day, you are sure to find Gina in the office getting things accomplished for her customers and sharing her knowledge with others in the office. Her dedication to service and willingness to exhaust all measures to help her buyers and sellers get to the closing table is simply amazing. “I love to be the person that can get the job done” Gina says.
Gina volunteering with her fellow Sales Executives, Pam Burki & Sarah AlexanderGina’s background in marketing as well as her keen eye for staging and decorating set her apart. Because of these skills, she is able to market homes in unique ways and visualize a space how a potential buyer would, choosing pictures and design elements that will make the property stand out above the rest. Gina is a natural in communication and making connections with others in the business. This is an amazing asset to those that work with her. With her many years of experience, she has built up a vast network of contractors and lenders that she offers to her customers when they are seeking affordable options for repairs needed or financing for purchasing their dream home.
Working hard and adjusting to the fast pace in our market just scratch the surface for Gina’s success. She puts others first and works diligently to get the job done, no matter what. “Taking care of my customers who are sending me lots of referrals” is a regular occurrence for Gina. “I survive on referrals, whether they are from lenders I work with, past clients or even from other agents”, she says. Finding great success with repeat clients speaks to her ability to build relationships of trust with those around her.
Outside of real estate and volunteering in her local community, Gina loves doing anything with her friends and family. “I just love being together, having fun and laughing”, she says. In the winter months, you are sure to find Gina on a snowmobile with her family and friends enjoying the surrounding beauty. This love of people holds true in all aspects of her life and is the foundation for all she puts her hands to

Meet Neil Miyashita, one of our extraordinary Sales Executives since 2014. Neil is sure to greet those around him with the sincerest of smiles and a heartwarming “Hello” any time he walks in to a room. This genuine kindness and care can be felt by all who have the pleasure to get to know him. Neil was born and raised in Montreal, Canada where his family built a successful company. “Prior to being involved in real estate, I operated my family’s business. My father was a chemical engineer and started his own company in 1960 and I was named president in 1997 when he retired.” Neil was drawn to Wisconsin because it is home to his lovely wife Lisa, he began visiting Milwaukee in 2008 and soon relocated to this great area. During this process, Neil was not only looking for a home to purchase but also a new path to pursue for a career. He won the lottery in both areas as they began to search for a place to call home. Working with a Realtor from one of the Lake Country’s most successful real estate teams, Dale’s Home Selling Team, proved to be an unexpected opportunity. Nicole Brown, introduced me to the team of professionals and my career path.” With the team environment a good fit for his goals and becoming a valuable member, he proclaims “This real estate thing is a good fit for me. It gives me the freedom to work and play as much as I want, when I want.”
Neil and his wife, LisaNeil is truly an individual who wants to see his clients served with excellence and when asked what his favorite part about real estate is, he responded simply “the ability to help my clients navigate the process of buyer and selling their properties.” The buying and selling of real estate can be arduous, emotional and an intimidating process for some. To be able to help my clients more forward to the next chapter of their lives is very rewarding.” Real estate is a passion for Neil, who went on to say “I do this line of work because I want to, not because I have to. Therefore, I devote all my care and attention to my client’s need, regardless of the value of the property. Respect, honor and integrity are cornerstones of my business mind set.” These three virtues are at the core of all that Neil puts his touch on.
When asked what Neil believes helps drive his success, he is quick to give credit to his team. Neil knows it’s because of their support and encouragement, that he is a successful Sales Executive. “Dale’s Home Selling Team rocks! If it wasn’t for the support of Dale, Vicky, Becky, Nicole, Sarah and the rest of the team, I would not have been able to do any of this.” Neil also recognizes our front desk administrative team, saying “The office support is fantastic with fielding the calls and ensuring appointments are set up.” Real estate is truly a team venture to Neil!
Outside of being a Realtor, Neil enjoys running, biking, swimming, tennis, golf and shooting. “These physical activities help me stay in shape and keep things in perspective” he says. Neil uses his love of running to give back to his community, which he believes is very important. “As an avid runner, I like to sign up for charity runs that benefit local foundations. That way I can follow my passion for running, while helping others at the same time.”
Whether it be work or his personal life, Neil beautifully blends his passions with helping others. Regardless if the goal is crossing a finish line for a good cause or helping his clients find their place to call home, he devotes his attention to training, preparation and care for each.
