Beth was recommended to us by everyone that we asked - we were hesitant to contact her because she seemed extraordinarily popular, and therefore, she must be busy. We never once felt as though we were being rushed, or like we were wasting Beth's time. Beth was super knowledgable and always available. We were very interested in buying a "charming" (old) house. Beth was incredibly knowledgeable from everything to weird electrical outlets, to ancient windows and wood floors. Each home we walked through, she was sure to point out small things that we could admire or question. Once we found a house, Beth was kind enough to give up a few hours of her afternoon to discuss the charm of the house, bringing up a few things we should watch out for on the home inspection. She helped us fill out the paperwork, and within 24 hours the house was ours! Beth recommended a home inspector, and also gave us a list of contractors that she trusts. She made the entire home buying process, and the home owning process so much easier than we anticipated. Over the holidays, we received a small box on the front porch. We opened it to find an adorable custom wooden ornament to remember our first home. How sweet! We will never buy or sell a home in the Milwaukee area without Beth's assistance - and we recommend you do the same!

Highly recommend Beth! We are first time home buyers and she walked us through the entire process…read more(as many times as I asked), provided insights that my husband nor I would have ever considered. She was happy to explain anything and everything, and show a wide range of homes - like every style that exists. She responded extremely fast to all my questions via email and text, which is SO helpful and had excellent business recommendations for things we needed. We will be going back to Beth when we sell and buy again!

Wow! Where do I start? Justin & Jennifer from our very first meeting were fantastic! We met with…read morea few different realtors and were surprised at the differences between marketing strategies, what they wanted to price our home at, etc... Justin & Jennifer won us over right away with their reasoning why they wanted to price our home where they did. They were not the realtor with the highest price of our home, but we went with them because we agreed with the comparisons and not wanting to price ourselves out of the market. When we finally were able to get our home on the market (delay was not the fault of Justin or Jennifer), we were very impressed by the results of their marketing. In 2 days we had 9 showings of our house and had 6 offers in writing by the morning of the 3rd day. We ended up selling our house for over the asking price due on large part to accurately pricing the house and not scaring off would be buyers by asking too much. Justin and Jennifer were incredibly helpful along the way and were very fast to respond to all of our phone calls and texts. Justin even offered to shovel our (insanely long) driveway while we were out of state on a house hunting trip. Blue Bell is a company I can confidently recommend as a caring, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly people to help you with your real estate needs.

Being so far from my childhood home and having the responsibility to deal with a bridge loan for the A.L. was a huge stressor for me. However, communicating with Marc from day 1 really eased much of that. I could tell right away just talking with him on the phone that he was sincere and understanding of our circumstances. His personal experience makes him stand out in his industry. Marc's knowledge of people/contractors/industry professionals and the entire process was absolutely incredible. I had the utmost confidence that my Mom and home were being given the best heartfelt effort. I truly feel we were got the BEST person to get us through this process and recommend him 100%.

With his life experience driving his passion to help other families navigate a stressful time in their lives, he is nothing short of a lifeline to answers and sanity. He lifted us up during a dark period with a relative I truly wanted to help, but wasn't sure how to go about dealing with a house situation that was overwhelming at best. When a house is the key to funding care for your loved ones, there's no one else I'd want in my corner than Marc. He explained everything in detail and made me feel like I could breathe again. I had time to focus on my loved one while he put together options. Seriously... options! I felt like I'd gained some precious control of a situation that was going sideways. He brought solutions when I didn't think there were any. I'll be forever grateful that he has the knowledge, experience, and expertise to truly make lemonade out of lemons.

We needed to find a 3 bedroom ranch, no basement, no stairs, a 2 car garage. It was sellers market. We were having no luck. Constantly being out bid or finding the location popping up on line was already sold. We saw a new listing just inside St. Francis by a realtor named Kristel Sikora. She was with Shorewest Realty, Inc. out of New Berlin. She had just gotten the listing and we went together to view it for the first time. It was awful and she recommended we talk about our needs. She listened, and began searching for what we wanted. We viewed a myraid of homes with what we were looking for and in our price range the entire month of June. We continued being out bid in all opportunities. She suggested a different area we hadn't considered and immediately scored a sale in our price range with everything we wanted and closed mid July. Kristel Sikora has been a top producer with ten years experience. She listens, she acts on the information, and she sells. She's head and shoulders above all the rest.
