I and my husband had Mr. Ben Allen as our Real estate agent (buyers agent). 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!!

Our experience with Ben (Buyers agent) could not have been better. We moved to Madison from out of…read morestate and we had essentially no knowledge about the area. 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 let him know the type of home and neighborhood feel we were looking for early in the process. Ben did a great job finding us several homes within this set of parameters. 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!

If you're looking to sell a house in Waunakee, Peggy Acker-Farber is the person you want to see!…read more She knows the area and the market extremely well. When it came time for my Mom to sell her Waunakee condo, we hemmed and hawed about who would help us with that task. After considering several realtor friends as well as previous realtors, we decided to go a new direction - with the name that is on every other "for sale" sign in Waunakee. Peggy Acker-Farber. We set up a meet-and-greet with Peggy at the condo where we could chat and she could walk through and tell us what she thought. Peggy was SO pleasant to visit with - very personable and fun. She also came very prepared, showing us comps and recent sales in the area, then giving her opinion on where the condo fell within those examples. That's where her knowledge shined bright - she knew that the condo would sell for a slightly higher price than we anticipated, and it probably wouldn't take long (though no promises!). Within days there were showings, giving us true insight of Peggy's abilities and connections. Seven days after listing, we had an accepted offer! We were able to stop showings and allow Mom to focus on packing and moving! Peggy's team was very thorough regarding all the work that went into showings, inspection, and the closing. They made sure that any questions we had were answered quickly and accurately. The closing went well and Mom was out of there quickly. The next day, while at her new place, a beautiful basket of flowers arrived thanking her for her business. Nice touch. I'm not sure how many homes outside of the Waunakee area Peggy and her team deal with. If I'm BUYING a house, I'll be calling Peggy to help me with that process. If you're in Waunakee as a seller, you should definitely consider calling Peggy and utilizing her team's local expertise. If I'm selling my Cross Plains house, I'll call Peggy first and see what she thinks - I'd have no doubts she'd be able to represent me well!

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.

I've already recommended her to three friends, and I can't speak highly enough of her professionalism and expertise.
