They don't treat you like a number or part of their quota to meet each month. They put it to you straight, and honestly. They make certain buyers are educated in the process, get the best rate and loan program for you. Their level of customer service and communication is well beyond the industry standard. They STRIVE to be the best and are continually growing, improving to serve the clients they have. AND...THEY CLOSE ON TIME!!! For these reasons, my husband and I chose to entrust our own home loan to Joe and his team. They got us a phenomenal loan, well within our budget at a great rate. It was smooth, and we knew where we stood every step of the way. With my clients, they rave about Joe and his team. I have had deals get accepted BECCAUSE the list agents have confidence in Joe and his team from their own past experience. You can look elsewhere, but why, when the best is right here!! THANK you Joe, Anamika Jed and Gina for helping all of our clients!! You ROCK!!

This is my second year renting from Bruce Wunnicke of Delta Properties and he is far and away the…read morebest landlord I have lived with in Madison (and I have lived with a total of 5 landlords and rental companies in my 8 years here). His properties are well-maintained, so that you don't have to compromise the structural integrity of your entire house when you want a charming apartment rather than a square box with white walls and beige carpet. He updates kitchens and bathrooms so that you're not cooking and bathing like it's 1920/30/40/50/60/whatever. His apartments are perhaps a bit more spendy than what you usually see in the area, but they're totally worth it and usually very large. For instance, I pay $975 for my two-bedroom but it is MASSIVE -- two living areas, a huge kitchen, a very large bedroom, a slightly smaller bedroom and a large and well-appointed bathroom. Plus free parking behind the house. Bruce is attentive and responsive to issues that arise (which, with houses built at the turn of the last century, they will). When I moved in, the bathroom sink wasn't draining properly and he came and fixed it immediately. There was also one broken blind so he replaced the whole set! He is also a really sweet guy and a pleasure to deal with. I have also been in contact with his daughter, Katherine, in some of the renting processes and she is also incredibly nice and great to work with. So many landlords in Madison are seedy, dishonest, manipulative, money-hungry or otherwise unconcerned with being decent human beings. Bruce is none of these things. He's truly a terrific landlord to rent from -- his properties are beautiful, his prices are (in my opinion) fair and he is an extremely responsible landlord.

Tim O'Brien did not want to pay to seal the driveway, but then proceeded to have a company plow the driveway before it was even hard. They refuse to fix it. The siding is bowing out.

Their properties are beautiful Mansion Hill homes converted to spacious apartments. The apartment manager is very friendly and responsive to any maintenance requests (many of which were taken care of the next day). I do have to mention that they do not rent to most undergraduate students. These apartments are quite and are usually rented by grad students and young professionals. All the apartments I've seen have beautiful crown and base moldings, high ceilings, wood floors, gas stoves and many unique architectural touches. If you are looking for beautiful, well kept apartments in the downtown/capitol area this is the company to go with!

I've been told this company prefers to rent to adults/professionals and grad students who maintain the units and respect other tenants...their properties are not party pads.

We ended up feeling a little bit like we were being led on by the bank we were working with. \ My fiancé's dad just became a real estate agent near Madison, and said he could speak with the next-door mortgage brokers about our options. Steve at Educated Mortgage gave me a call, and agreed to answer any questions I might have as well as advise me on whether we were getting the best deal we could. Steve was extremely helpful. He answered all the questions that I still had, which it seemed hard to get a straight answer on from the bank. He helped me look into any other mortgage programs I might qualify for, and determined that I was already getting the best deal I could. He also recommended that I should stick with what I had and not risk wasting more time or being turned down by a different bank. Steve did all of this for free, with no expectation that we would become his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for advice or shopping for the best mortgage in the Sun Prairie/Madison area.

We couldn't find a bank or credit union in the area with expertise in that type of lending. I'm so glad we called Dan at Educated Mortgage - he knew all of the ins and outs of VA lending and got us all set up.

We have worked with Dan each time, and all 3 experiences were a breeze. The process with the team at Educated Mortgage is quick and painless, and we now have a fantastic mortgage loan on the home we love. I highly recommend working with the pros at Educated Mortgage.
