PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE GIVING THIS BUSINESS YOUR MONEY!…read more This business was incredibly unprofessional, and the way they treated someone who was grieving the loss of her father and simply wanted to do something nice for herself is deeply disturbing. She hired them to remodel her home and trusted them to handle what should have been a straightforward renovation. Instead, within a short period of time, the paint in her bathroom began chipping, the sink cracked, and other things stopped working properly. Even more concerning was how they handled her requests during the project. She asked for completely standard things--a particular faucet, an appropriate sink size, and a grab bar for the shower. They would not accommodate any of her requests. She was actually told they couldn't get her a grab bar for her shower. A grab bar. Home Depot has an entire selection of them. How can a company that specializes in home design and remodeling claim they can't accommodate such basic requests?? Then there is the pricing. Items that can be purchased for a fraction of the cost were marked up dramatically--for example, a showerhead costing around $100 being charged at $750. There is nothing wrong with a business making a profit, but customers deserve transparency and reasonable value for what they're paying. And then things got even worse. The company owner's personal belongings were dumped into the client's dumpster, leaving the client unable to use it for her own renovation waste. But perhaps the most disturbing part of the entire experience was how she was treated when she finally confronted them about it. She was told: "It was easy to take advantage of you." Read that again. "It was easy to take advantage of you." This says everything you need to know about how this company views its customers. People trust contractors and designers with their homes, their money, and sometimes in their most vulnerable moments. They deserve honesty, professionalism, respect, and quality workmanship--not to be treated as an opportunity to make an excessive profit because someone is trusting or going through a difficult time. Please know exactly who you're trusting with your home and your hard-earned money! No one should be made to feel like they were an easy target. People deserve better than this!

After some hesitation - being that I worked with a Shorewest agent to buy my home, had a few…read morediscouraging meetings with other discount realtors, and well the unknown. . . real estate sales are not a small undertaking, nor something you embark upon often - I listed my home with Angela Calteux-Kallay. Angela has a professional presence and a kind demeanor, after meeting with her only 1 time I felt much more at ease. She wasted no time - had professional photos taken, the sign posted in the yard, and my house listed on the MLS and many major websites promptly. I don't want to give away her trade secrets but will say she adds things to the home that assist with showings - a definite bonus touch! Within 3 days I had an offer! I was thrilled! Unfortunately the inspector (focusing on things that weren't major issues) tore my house to shreds. After a few conversations including an offer to remedy the items of concern, the buyer decided to walk. I was bummed but not discouraged. Angela was there throughout the whole process - giving me contractor contacts and advising next steps. Within another 12 days I had 2 more offers! I ended up accepting an offer that was brokered by Lynn Friedman, another realtor with Benefit Realty; OVER asking price, I might add! Angela was great at responding to my (many) emails, texts, questions and concerns. I would absolutely recommend Angela, Lynn, and Benefit Realty to anyone looking for a true full service realtor with a small fee!

Colleen Tarantino from Redefined Realty Advisors is an extremely professional and knowledgeable…read morerealtor. My father recently passed away leaving us his house. It was dated and needed love but was on a beautiful lot in New Berlin. Colleen loved the property as much as we did, she saw the potential. Colleen was prepared with several comps pricing it right. We received multiple offers in less than 48 hours. Colleen walked us through all of them. Her guidance enabled us to sell at a price much higher than the list price with exceptional terms. The closing was very organized, taking less than 30 minutes. Colleen and everyone else at Redefined Realty Advisors were a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend them.

We recently sold our $400k+ Waukesha county home using Redefined Realty. It is a long sad story of…read morehow we found them, but here are the basics: We first listed with Remax, who made a complete and absolute MESS of our listing. We sat on the market for 6 months with Remax with little activity. Remax had our information wrong, used horrible cheap looking pictures, didn't vette out tire kickers, etc... The Realtor was lazy, and was just sitting back waiting to collect his pay-day. Don't listen to the 6% realtors they are full of CRAP. They don't do anything better in this era of internet savvy shoppers. All you are doing is WASTING YOUR MONEY and making some lazy person rich. We had a gorgeous fully updated home that SAT due to a lazy, greedy realtor who simply wanted to maximize his profit for doing NOTHING. After our listing expired with Remax we looked to friends to suggest a Realtor - John Gscheidmeier was the man. John came in as a Real Estate PROFESSIONAL. He takes his work seriously, and he worked fast to get both an accurate listing and awesome professional photos out. John had our home sold in one week for damn near asking price. We made tens of thousands over what we would have with Remax and FELT GOOD about what we paid for in commission. John did significantly more than our 6% guy who claimed to be the best of the best. Redefined is the wave of the future, you get more with these guys as a seller than you will with anyone - guaranteed. Put some money back in your pocket and ignore the B.S. the 6% realtors are telling you - you will be happy you did.
