From the initial prep and listing of our house for sale, to closing with Preferred Title, the people involved have been amazing. Brandon and team were responsive throughout, offered educational guidance every step of the way, helped us through some unexpected hurdles. He also provided solid referrals; from handymen and garage door specialists to title companies, the Buell Group partners with the best.

Brandon and his team were great to work with! Brandon responded immediately to all of our questions…read moreand when he wasn't immediately available, he made sure his teammate, Amanda, got back to us with answers to our questions. 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!

Every interaction we had with Jamie Beltran and the rest of the Ferraro Real Estate team was…read morepositive, smooth, and professional. Jamie was knowledgeable of the area and very helpful when we did our first tours of homes (one of which we ended up getting an offer accepted on). Thanks to their hard work, everything went perfectly. The communication was great, as first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and we felt supported at every step of the way by the entire team. We highly recommend Jamie and the real estate team for anyone looking for a positive home buying experience in the Wisconsin area!

Things that Darcy Haber and the Solidarity Realty team don't have time to do:…read more 1. Read the laws that govern their business. The Wisconsin administrative code clearly indicates that landlords are responsible for repairing wear and tear and that tenants are responsible for unusual damage caused by tenant abuse. Darcy and the Solidarity team don't know this or choose to ignore it. If after 20 months of using the shower every day the low-quality paint on the ceiling starts to peel a bit, they'll regard that as abuse. That's right: Bathing is abuse. If after 20 months of placing a couch next to a wall there is the slightest little tinge of discoloration on the wall, they'll regard that as abuse. That's right: Sitting is abuse. 2. Hire a competent maintenance staff You won't get a professional. You'll get David, the guy who owns the unit and who wants to save a few bucks. He's pretty good at shuffling around the unit staring shame-faced at the floor as you point out the issues with his "repairs." Actually fixing things? Not so much. 3. Respond to simple maintenance requests. Let's say that they rent you a condo with large windows facing the lake. Now let's say you request that someone wash those windows during the 20 months that you're paying them large sums for this apartment. They will not have someone wash the windows. They will not even respond to your emails. It doesn't matter how many times you contact them. It's not that there isn't a company that cleans windows. There is. An employee of that company will magically appear just as you are moving out. Things Darcy Haber and the Solidarity Realty team DO have time for: 1) Cashing rent checks. They're very good at that! 2) Setting up shell companies. Everyone we dealt with works at Solidarity Realty. They all have Solidarity email addresses. We dropped our checks off at Solidarity's office. But apparently we weren't dealing with Solidarity, but with a company set up by Solidarity's owner for the sole purpose of renting this particular condo. 3) Removing negative reviews Don't ask for competent, timely repairs. Darcy and her team are too busy having accurate reviews taken down.

I was also very impressed with her knowledge of the construction aspect of the property such septic, well, windows, and HVAC. I could go in for ever on the reasons I would refer Laura.

We frequently waffled on what was important to us and thought we may never find what we wanted. She has been extremely helpful with recommending and facilitating mortgage loan officers, building inspectors, electricians, chimney inspectors...and on and on. She blew away all expectations based on previous experiences with other realtors. She is definitely an asset to the Stark Realty Company. I would highly recommend Wanda to both savvy and first time home buyers as she is incredibly familiar with Madison and surrounding areas.

She seeks to have her clients' needs and objectives met to the fullest. There is never any pressure.

Even when we don't have immediate needs, she stays in touch throughout the year. If anyone should have a Realtor need, choose Wanda. In the words of my daughter in law, "She's amazing!"

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.
