Working with Accord Realty has been one of the most stressful and frustrating experiences of my…read morelife. I was looking for a starter home in the Madison area and had the displeasure of working with their agent, Greta Drammeh. What I was looking for was an advocate that could help me through the complex and confusing process of buying a home for the first time. Greta advised me to make higher and higher bids on a home I was looking at. After an inspection it turned out the home was a real dud, there were a massive number of undisclosed defects that adversely impacted the value of the home, not to mention the time and stress required to deal with them. Over the course of the next week Greta failed to negotiate any real solution to the defects, coming back with only a token $1000 credit from the sellers as a "win" despite the defects costing far more to fix. I was never able to learn the actual extent of the defects as Greta never got the inspectors we requested in the house to look at the issues and get in person quotes despite our insistence. This whole process has left me distraught and in my opinion Accord Realty did not prioritize me as a client over getting their commission as soon as possible with minimal resistance. I needed a fighter for this difficult transaction and that is NOT what I got with Greta and Accord Realty. If you are looking for a home around Madison my advice would be to find a representative and advocate elsewhere.

Our current and ongoing experience with Accord Realty has been an absolute disaster. I feel that my…read morerealtor (Greta Drammeh) has let me and my partner down in what should have been an exciting first time home buying experience. The house in question had over 10 undisclosed defects (which are defined by Wisconsin law as a "condition that would have a significant adverse effect on the value of the property") that only arose during the inspection process (including two active water leaks, mold, a broken rafter, and a dead animal in the chimney). While we expected some issues to come up in the inspection given the age of the house; however, we were flabbergasted at all of the defects, but we were more stunned when we realized that Greta did very little to advocate for us in negotiations with the selling party. We requested multiple times from Greta that she get certified contractions to get into the house to provide us with quotes to repair the defects, which we feel she failed to do. Additionally, once we made it clear we were no longer interested in the house, she did very little to help us get out of the deal with any of our earnest money. We believe that she wanted to settle the matter as quickly as she could instead of advocating for us like a realtor should have done. We also saw a noticeable shift in her behavior once we made it clear multiple times that we did not want the house as there were too many unknowns and did not feel comfortable going forward with the purchase (she stopped responding as quickly to our emails, and delayed sending us communications from the selling party). The whole situation has left a bad taste in our mouth, and a significant amount of disappointment with Greta and Accord Realty. We will be looking for a different realtor in the future to meet our needs.

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!

We clicked right away while talking at the showing and she reached out soon after to see if we needed more help in finding a house. We definitely did! She was super attentive throughout the homebuying process and was sending us houses pretty much daily that met our criteria. I don't even know how many showings we ended up doing, but Angi was with us every step of the way trying to get us in early to see the places before they had bids on them. This is also saying a lot as we looked in at least 10 cities for houses. She knew pretty much immediately if we would like the place when we saw it and in all honesty, she became one of our closest friends while buying a house during the pandemic. I would highly recommend Badger Realty and Angi as the realty team worked together to help us find a great home! They made the process pretty easy which is saying a lot given the current market.

The interior was very well done and the building maintained well. But sadly, the complex was marketed as "non-smoking" which was a big reason why I signed the lease. However I quickly learned after moving in that it was far from it with tenants smoking marijuana in their units and the smell permeating into the hallway and in some cases into my unit. When management was alerted there was little action besides one email to all the tenants which did nothing to stop it. One sign on the bulletin board which lasted less than a month. I think they could have and should have done more which is why I ultimately decided to leave the apartment before the end of my lease term. My health was suffering from the constant stench. Otherwise, it's a great property and if you don't have an aversion to smokers, I recommend it.

Avante Properties plays hard ball with their best tenants. Here's what happened to us…read more.. We have an apartment at the Arlo in Fitchburg and have been excellent tenants since June 2024 when the building opened. Avante recently notified us that the lease for our second stall in the parking garage has been terminated and we have six days to vacate it. There was no explanation or apology. #1: In the luxury rental business, it's not a good idea to treat good renters poorly, especially your top tenants. Poor reviews and word of mouth will expose you in a big way. #2: Avante has been allowing tenants to move into the garage as late as November-January, just in time for bad winter weather. We've been paying for the second stall since last June so we would have it for the winter months. When we asked Avante for a credit for the past seven months, they referenced legalese from the parking rental agreement, and threatened to tow our car if the stall was not vacated by the deadline. Avante's communication has been disappointing and shocking. #3: During the fall, Avante raffled off 2 free parking stalls to Arlo residents who wrote Google reviews. So they are willing to give away free stalls, but then kick out their paying customers? Huh? Complaining about a valid issue and requesting reimbursement for what we consider fraudulent behavior on their part has ultimately resulted in them threatening not to renew our 12-month apartment lease this spring. Wow is all I can say. A property manager can make or break your apartment rental experience. If I had to do it all over again, I would not rent from Avante Properties. I would look elsewhere.
