We felt Brandon was extremely knowledgeable of the market but as an added bonus, he is also very knowledgeable about construction in general and was able to point out flaws or positive attributes of each house we toured. Brandon was our advocate throughout the entire process and made sure we got the best price and timely responses from the sellers. Before closing, Brandon's team contacted our mortgage lender directly to handle details and they followed up with us to make sure we had everything ready and were prepared! On closing day, Brandon came to the closing with us and explained anything that we didn't understand in the sea of paperwork presented to us. We highly recommend the Brandon Buell and The Buell Group! They were fantastic to work with!

Asher Masino was our realtor when we sold our Eastside bungalow. Any time we had a question or…read moreconcern she was available for discussion. Months before we listed Asher came by to consult and advise us on projects that needed to be done. She provided an excellent booklet that covered things that should be done before listing and a list of contractors. This helped us find a trustworthy vendor for repairs after hail damage about a month before we planned to list the house which saved us time and stress. Asher was extremely knowledgeable about our part of town and how to market the property. Her recommendations helped us sell the house in less than a week for the price we wanted.

Her communication was consistently clear, timely, and reassuring, which made every stage of the process feel manageable. Asher knows the Madison market and its neighborhoods inside and out, and her pricing guidance was always realistic and well‑informed. She also has a deep understanding of older homes and was quick to point out mechanical issues or areas to watch, which I found incredibly valuable. Throughout our time working together, she was unfailingly available, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me make the right decisions. I've already recommended her to three friends, and I can't speak highly enough of her professionalism and expertise. If you're looking for an agent who truly goes above and beyond, Asher is the one to trust.

Alex is an amazing realtor. He's so good that I sent the president of First Weber (who knew my…read morefather) this message. Is Alex Saloutos real? A realtor who thinks about us first, and not him? Let me explain. You already know the first part of this; but the latest chapter is new. We want to buy a lot. Alex spends a lot of time showing us lots and does an electronic mapping thing that works great with my personality. After a long search, we find one we love. It is, I forget maybe $99,000. I suggest an offer around $91,000. Alex builds a spreadsheet of golf course lots in Dane County and notes that this one started on the market 3 years ago at maybe $109K. He thinks it can be had for under $80K. We make an offer below $70K, and settle at $71K and make the purchase. We are ecstatic. Melanie, though, really wants to live IN Madison. After completely designing a house for the lot in SketchUp (OK, I can be psychotically driven); I say, "If that's where you want to live; let's expand/remodel your old house". $300K later it is great. But we still own the lot, which is listed at $79,900 to be virtually the same price as the adjacent lot. Early this week we get an offer of $74K. Alex researches the offer and talks to the seller's realtor. He learns that they want to build a BIG house on a golf course (like the neighbor's house), and need two lots to do that. He learns that they have an accepted offer on the adjacent lot, contingent on closing with our lot. There are only three lots in our subdivision left, and only two adjoining. Alex advises holding on our price, and countering at full price; but offering them a copy of the detailed survey that we paid for ($925), which costs us nothing now. That's gutsy! His best interest would have been served by saying, "take it!" You understand better than anyone that one way to get easy commissions is to get your clients to underprice their homes, or advise them to buy at premium prices. The next day they accepted the full price offer Between the two transactions; Alex took us from a loss of around $20K (plus taxes and transaction fees), to a net profit even after fees and commissions. I can't recommend Alex too much. We will sing his praises to everyone interested in a realtor. I have a vCard for Alex that I send to anyone interested in a realtor. You really can build your business by serving clients' interests, and not going for the quick gains. Jeff Boldt, PE

We used Kathy to sell our existing home and to purchase our new home. The purchase of our new home was a lengthy and incredibly frustrating process (5 counter-offers were exchanged) with some challenging sellers. Kathy did a great job of finding a home that fit our family, and was there for us whenever we needed her, whether it was during the negotiation process, or after the offer was accepted. She was with us every step of the way. She provided insightful advice about staging our home (it sold in 3 days and for more than our asking price). She has great contacts for home inspectors, handymen, etc. We wouldn't want to work with any other realtor.

He worked with us for…read moremore than six months when we were searching for our perfect home in the crazy Madison real estate market. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful he was in helping us find our ideal home. We made almost weekly out-of-state visits to look at the houses and Ben was always available to show us around. He was very knowledgeable about the area, answered all our questions in detail and was always patient and respect full towards our needs and wishes. This was our fourth time working with a real estate agent, and we feel we had the best experience with him. He never made us feel pressured/never forced us to make a decision. He understood perfectly well what our needs were and showed us the properties while explaining pros and cons of each. He was always supportive of our decisions. And ultimately he helped us find a house which we loved. Not only that while we were waiting to find our home, he helped us find a temporary rental property and went above and beyond to help us find the re rental/ sublease client for our rental apartment when we did find the house! He is a hard-working, knowledgeable, and committed realtor and we have no doubt that we are going to use his service in future if we have any real estate needs. We 100% recommend Ben Allen for your real estate needs!!

Ben understood our unique situation. He patiently answered all of our questions and ensured that our house hunting experience was as easy as possible.

We made several trips to Madison to see the suburbs before buying. Ben generously spent several days with us during these visits showing us around and touring homes with him. We never felt rushed or pressured. He ended up finding us a home in the exact neighborhood we were hoping to move into. During the closing process he kept us informed about what to expect with each step. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor or a better person to work with. Highly recommend!
