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!

Jolenta goes above and beyond as a real estate agent. Having worked with a few agents over the…read moreyears, what stands out most is how much she looks out for your best interests as a buyer. There's never any pressure to rush into a decision--in fact, she often spends more time thoughtfully explaining why a house isn't the right fit than pushing you toward a quick close. That's because she's more than just an agent: she becomes a trusted neighbor, confidante, and thought partner. Jolenta listens closely, prioritizes your wants and needs, and helps you make sense of what's realistic in the market. We'd 100% work with her again.

This company is also known as Milwaukee Flat Fee homes, which is who we listed our Shorewood…read moreProperty with...If I could select 0 stars I would. Paul Stevens is one of the most arrogant, unprofessional people to do business with. Clearly, I see from the other reviews here, that we are not alone in our assessment as this is his typical pattern of behavior. We listed our duplex (investment property) with Milwaukee Flat Fee Homes in February 2019, right before the pandemic hit. We paid the flat fee to have our property listed on MLS for a year. We don't NEED to sell this property, but it seemed like a great time to sell at the time. Right after listing, Covid-19 hit the US and greatly impacted our ability to show our property to both prospective buyers and prospective new tenants. We received an offer to purchase in April for $50,000 under asking and told them we were not interested. Paul didn't like that. He wants his sellers to accept the first offer that comes their way so he can do as little work as possible. We received another offer for our property in late June, had minimal back and forth negotiations and ultimately we decided not to accept the buyer's offer. A few days later we received an email from Paul accusing us of lying on our condition report and stating that he was breaking our contract and taking our home off of MLS. We then provided proof that there were no "lies" on our condition report and Paul ignored all of our calls and emails related to the "misunderstanding." When he finally responded, he stated, "Our listing fee is non-refundable. Either party may cancel at any time for any reason. This is my last communication on this matter." In other words, Paul Stevens believes that when you pay him up front to list your property for 12 months, he can cancel your listing at anytime if he chooses simply because you didn't accept an offer that he wants you to take.

I had received an offer but only knew that because the buyers agent texted me. I could not get a return call, or email from MFF for 2 days. I interpreted the lack of interest in my property as an indication that their customer service is sub par. Finally, just wanted to share that MFF sent a representative to the closing today who showed up with her boobs hanging out of a shirt that looked like it came from a Victorian Secrets catalog. This was shocking and so unprofessional. Really?
