I came to Corcoran Realty at the recommendation of a friend after a bad experience with my first…read morerealtor. That realtor made me feel a lot of pressure to overbid and submit offers without inspection contingencies, telling me, "You can wait, but the market will only get more expensive, and you can't save as fast as prices are rising." After doing some research and reading the literature on Corcoran Realty's website, it was clear this was something they anticipated many realtors would do and that they felt an ethical obligation to ensure their clients didn't enter into offers that weren't in their best interests. The consultation I had with Katie and her partner, Cali, couldn't have convinced me more that this was exactly how they operated. They were honest, practical, and their advice made a lot of sense. It was my great pleasure, then, that the first place I looked at after retaining them was the one I ultimately received an accepted offer on. I worked mostly with Cali, who couldn't have been more knowledgeable or professional throughout the entire process. After such a stressful month with my first realty team, this may sound too good to be true, but I honestly felt like the stress of it all washed away once Corcoran became my full-time realty team. Dare I say it, the process became almost fun. Instead of stressing about getting a bad deal, I found myself focusing on how I was going to transition my life into becoming a homeowner. I was extremely happy with the deal and even negotiated some seller's credits, which came because I was able to inspect the property. I can't say every experience will go as smoothly as mine did - it's a tough market - but their approach was incredibly reassuring for a first-time homebuyer. I would recommend Corcoran Realty to anyone looking for a home, whether it's their first or their fifth. I plan to recommend them to friends and family, and I hope to work with them again should I find myself in the market in the future.

Katie is a fantastic agent! We had a bit of a difficult situation: we were moving to a totally new…read morestate where we had no lay of the land at all. We knew what we wanted in a house and a neighborhood in general but had not the slightest clue where to even begin. To top all that off, our move had to happen pretty quickly AND during a time when houses were selling the same week they were listed. Katie took the time to ask us lots of questions to get to know us, and she showed us several different neighborhoods and different types of architecture - we quickly realized that she was a Milwaukee expert. We eventually saw a house pop up and she went over there the very same day to go see it. She skyped us in and did a virtual walk-through of the house since we were still in another state - we really appreciated her flexibility in doing this. She did some research on the pricing of the house/neighborhood and we made and offer and got the house. I was super nervous when I saw it in person for the first time but it was everything we wanted. In short, Katie took the time to get to know us and our personal styles. She was patient as we saw different neighborhoods and styles of house and at the end of the day she really kept in mind what was important to us. Our situation was certainly not typical and I don't believe that all agents would've wanted the pressure of having a client in another state but Katie does not back down from challenges like that. I have full confidence in recommending her to anyone looking for a home in Milwaukee!

Jay Schmidt and his team are the best. If you are looking to buy or sell your home, then you need…read moreto call the Jay Schmidt Group. We recently moved back to the Milwaukee area. We were targeting Whitefish Bay or Wauwatosa for our next home. We reached out to Jay, and he immediately set us searching for homes that met our criteria. We have a crazy schedule with managing a new job, moving a long distance, and having 2 kids under 6 at home. Jay and his team always worked around our schedule. They were responsive via email, text and phone calls at all hours. The market is really hot, and they were able to get us into newly posted homes quickly, and we were able to compete on every home we were interested in. They're a highly experienced team, and you NEED that support in this hot market. Everything we needed was written and submitted immediately. There were never any delays. Within a few weeks we found and purchased our dream home. We could not be happier. We will only use Jay Schmidt and team for any future real estate needs.

The group treats you with respect and I am very lucky to have been able to use them to sell this property. Definitely recommend!

Went as far as putting in the text that the seller liked our offer because it was straightforward. Told our agent he was putting the paperwork together and just needed the seller to sign.

She was familiar with each and every location, which told me a lot about her in-depth knowledge of the Milwaukee area, as well as the current real estate market. I immediately decided to utilize Katie as my realtor. Since I was in a hurry to purchase a home, she willingly showed me more than 12 homes in a two week period, trudging through the ice and snow with a walking cast on her leg. Katie and her team are efficient, pleasant to deal with, and are the consummate professionals. I would buy a home through them again without question.

A friend used Stalle realtors recently & chastised us for not warning him…read more Okay. For those of you who need a warning, it was years ago but memorable. We hired Stalle to sell our house...we had already moved out of town but they assured us they would treat our home "as if it were our own." Consequently, they damaged new floors, lied about their staging experience (they had none), put our expensive furniture in a storage warehouse without informing us, ruined fine artwork, simply lost our drapes (who does that?) & were unprofessionial & dismissive. What a train wreck! We ended our contract, but not soon enough. Obviously, should have shared this experience before you encountered them. Sorry friend.

This was my first experience selling a home and it proved to be very disappointing. Suzanne and…read moreher associate, Gretchen, walked through and the red flags were immediate. As we were walking through Suzanne asked, "is it yours to sell?" I thought how odd a question. I couldnt help but wonder does she ask all her clients that question? She also stated she would take a 5.5 % sellers commission instead of the customary 6%. I didn't think much of it until a few weeks after signing the listing agreement that she indeed was charging 6% and not the 5.5% she had promised. During the initial meeting she said she wouldn't be putting her agency sign outside because more and more homeowners were making that choice for privacy. I thought it sounded a little odd but this being my first time selling a home I didn't question it. None the less the second it sold there was a sign planted in the front yard. I had just purchased a new Samsung washer and dryer a few months prior and I had them listed as an exclusion in the sale, however I was forced to leave them when I moved. Unfortunately the refrigerator had a maintenance issue while the condo was listed and I could have spent $200 and had it repaired and all would have been good but again was forced to give the buyer a $2500 credit. Gretchen is nothing more than a bully and a thug and will say or do anything without any consideration for honesty to get what she wants. She accepted a low ball offer without consulting me and set up 2 closings, a closing for me alone and another for the buyers so we wouldn't meet, how insulting. While taking care of some final touchups before an open house one of Suzannes employees was lending a hand and started talking about Trump's stolen election and she couldn't understand why we couldn't agree with her. My friend found it so disturbing and unprofessional he left. If you see Powers Realty Group coming, turn around and run.

We wish we had chosen Powers first. They handled our sale with professionalism, expertise, and extensive experience in unique selling circumstances. This allowed them to complete the sale when larger real estate firms couldn't. This speaks to their network of support partners and excellent professional relationship with them. From our first meeting with Suzanne and Gretchen, we were so impressed with their preparation and attention to detail. Both Suzanne and Gretchen arrived at our home with face masks and were very serious about the new showing and realtor protocols with COVID19. They maintained this same level of diligence and customer focus to all aspects of our sale. Gretchen and Suzanne exhibited expert knowledge and problem solving skills when faced with all phases of the sale and any challenges as they arose. They kept us informed and presented solutions while working collaboratively with us throughout our sale's progression. They were always available and responded promptly to us. Abbey was integral in the smooth execution of all the tasks during the sale. She was also a delight to deal with. Powers Realty Group presents itself as a boutique broker. They are the epitome of this label. They are right sized, specialized and the perfect balance of exceptional customer service and expert knowledge base. They shine throughout the range of real estate possibilities, from niche property sales to traditional properties. Our only regret is that we did not call Powers Realty Group sooner for our sale. Thank you Suzanne, Gretchen and the team for a job well done. We are very grateful.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lea Byrd, and I truly cannot recommend her enough…read more From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. She was always available, incredibly supportive, kind, helpful, and knowledgeable--everything you could hope for in a real estate agent. When we hit a major roadblock during the process, Lea was right there beside us, offering guidance, reassurance, and solutions. She genuinely cared about our experience and our family, even going so far as to send us dinner one night just to ease the stress. That level of thoughtfulness is rare and speaks volumes about who she is--not just as a professional, but as a person. If you're looking for someone who will advocate for you, be in your corner every step of the way, and treat you like more than just a client, Lea Byrd is the one. She made a stressful process feel manageable and even joyful. We're beyond grateful.

Please, look no further and go with Ty to help buy or sell your next home. Ty is genuine, authentic, honest, reliable, professional and most importantly punctual. Ty and his team are the quickest in the business. We were in a tight situation timing wise and Ty was able to help us get a competitive offer out within just a couple of hours of us seeing the home! Ty and his team were extremely thorough throughout the entire process and communication was key. To top it off, Ty was readily available at all hours of the day to respond to my follow up questions that I had. Ty was even kind enough to send us THREE gifts after the closing. The seller was very stingy and would not budge an inch when it came to concessions and so Ty was kind enough to purchase us a one year home warranty for peace of mind! Ty even went out of his way and sent our family a gift card for a food delivery company since we were coming in from out of town. To top it all off, Ty gifted us a beautiful basket at the closing table with local coffee and wine. It's safe to say that Ty went above and beyond the job requirements and I know he would do the same for you too. One major added bonus that sets Ty apart from every other realtor is the fact that he also offers property management services! Ty really is a one stop shop for all of your real estate needs. We do not plan to move into the home until next year and Ty was able to find us a renter in less than 3 weeks to fill our home! He even gave us a discount on his property management services since it's a short term deal. Thank you again for all that you did for our family Ty!

Don't be fooled by these planted, spotless reviews by his buddies…read more Everyone knows it takes years of skill and experience to build a strong REAL clientele of people who aren't your friends to actually EARN 5-star, slam-dunk reviews across the board. You'll see when you meet him. Ty Ash is incompetent, immature, unprofessional real estate technician. He is in it for himself, doesn't care about you as a client, and will do anything to put you in a terrible situation for a money grab. He will schmooze you til the end, and you won't even realize it because that's how slimy and shady he is. Trust me (an unbiased client who was looking for a new home and got absolutely ROBBED), or feel free to trust his boy club buddies (majority of whom work or have worked with him). His reviews are a facade as weak as his actual real estate skills. Literally, go to anyone else. Give your commission to someone knowledgeable and trustworthy. Someone who will do the work and who's earned and deserves it. Someone who will find you something appropriate within your price range, provide actual guidance and support, go to bat for you, and has negotiation skills. Not a young amateur who will not spend an extra minute on you and will screw you over with terrible advice to make a couple more bucks for his and his girlfriend's pocket. Or, you can just believe all these fake glowing reviews - that's exactly what he wants :) Just don't say I didn't warn you.
