My husband and I enlisted the Jay Schmidt Group to assist us with purchasing our first home, and we had the pleasure of working with Kelly Nikolanci as our Buyer's Agent. Without question, we could not have made a better choice. She is professional, knowledgeable, hard working and likable. It's obvious that she loves what she does, and that she cares about helping buyers find a home that is just right for them. In the beginning, Kelly listened to what we had to say, and was never pushy about looking at something we knew we wouldn't like. Throughout the viewing process, she was always available to meet us for a walk through every time we asked. Kelly was also extremely informative. Even if we realized the house wasn't for us when we arrived, she would still walk us through, educating us on different aspects of the home - (I never even knew drain tiles existed until she taught us all about how important they can be). She was also very honest, and never pushed us to like a house that didn't fit what we were looking for. Finally, when we found the right house and it came to making the offer and going through the negotiation process, Kelly truly worked hard for us. Both she and the rest of the Jay Schmidt Group went above and beyond to take care of everything so that we could get the deal done. We are so grateful to Kelly and the team - they were such a pleasure to work with and we'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. read more

We can't say enough wonderful things about Jen and Matt!! We had a fantastic experience working with them. Felt a great connection from the very first meeting. Always so responsive and on top of all of the details--we really felt very well taken care of, and felt that they truly had our best interest in mind and did everything in their power to make sure that we got the right house for us! We felt that Jen was very available to us throughout our search process, always positive and upbeat in helping us navigate and fine-tune our list of priorities. We looked at over 30 houses together! Jen and Matt are also both very knowledgeable and discerning about work that has been or needs to be done with the house, structural issues, potential for modifying the layout, etc. We ended up buying a FSBO, and Jen masterfully handled all of the communication with our seller. Once we were in escrow, we felt extremely well taken care of. They were there for the home inspection, coordinated all of the contractors that needed to come in (and they have top notch referrals)--we didn't have to worry about anything! We were very impressed with the level of care, professionalism and attention to detail from the Jay Schmidt Group--they are totally on top of everything. We are so so happy, and feel so blessed to be in our new house and neighborhood that we completely love! Thank you with all of our hearts, Jen, Matt and everyone at the Jay Schmidt Group! read more

Recently our family both bought a new house in Mequon and sold our former house in Cedarburg through the Jay Schmidt Group of Keller Williams Realty in Milwaukee. My wife and I are very pleased with our experience in both the purchase and sale. As a CPA, I appreciated the financial expertise that Dan Mickelsen, our listing agent, had in analyzing the financial numbers behind our sale of our home in Cedarburg. With his in-depth background, we were able to sell our house in one day and we garnered multiple offers in excess of our listing price. On the purchase of our new home, Jay Schmidt (himself) represented us as our buyer's agent for our dream home. With his knowledge, our offer was the one accepted in a competitive bidding process. In addition to the knowledge and expertise of Jay and Dan, the rest of the Jay Schmidt group worked flawlessly in their marketing efforts and back office support. The marketing consisted of standout pictures of our home, effective staging suggestions and very professional marketing materials. The back office support worked diligently with our attorney and lender on the purchase of our new house and made sure no detail was left out. If you are looking to sell your house, we highly recommend Dan Mickelsen and the rest of the Jay Schmidt group to assist you in making the real estate process seem less while getting the best price and a short amount of time! read more

This was our best relocation/real estate experience ever (and we've moved 8 times). Jay and his team were experienced, smart, very attentive and supportive in helping us find the perfect home. We've never come across a real estate agent so well-informed about all the homes in the area and knowledgeable about the market and its history. Coming from out of state, Jay gave us the extra attention we needed to get a feel for the area and identify a neighborhood we wanted to be in. Jay quickly gleaned what our likes/dislikes were and did a super job directing us toward homes that would "check all the boxes." We were especially appreciative of how communicative and responsive the entire team was during our search, inspections, and closing. Even after our move, they have continued to be very supportive and helpful whenever we need a service or professional. We can't say enough about the great experience we had with Jay and everyone at JSG. read more

My wife and I chose the Jay Schmidt group over several other agencies that we met with to sell our home. We were relocating and needed to move our home fast, and they presented the best plan to help us do just that. Having a whole team of people looking at our sale from every angle provided us the best option. The pricing of our home was just right, we received an offer for asking price on the first day of listing. The pre-marketing and professional photography set us up for success before the home was even officially listed. My family moved out of Milwaukee about 20 days prior to closing, and Lindsey kept us informed of all the happenings after we left. They helped us through some home inspection issues and kept us in a position to still sell our home before we closed on our new one. Overall our experience was great and I would recommend Jay and his team to anyone selling or buying in Milwaukee. read more

Jay and his team are ROCK STARS. As first-time homebuyers, they were exceptional in walking us through the entire process start to finish and thoroughly explaining everything we had questions about. Their understanding of the housing market on the North Shore is second to none. If a house came on the market in our price range, there was an email waiting for us even before we saw it ourselves. They were also available whenever we wanted - making lots of time for us to browse through house after house on weeknights, weekdays and weekends. One mark of great realtors is patience, which they have a lot of. There's no pressure or angle to get you into a new house at their speed, it's about you and your needs. We will definitely be recommending them and using them again when we sell our home If you're buying or selling a house, this is your first and last stop. read more

Stefani Miller is an incredible agent with Jay Schmidt Group. She is very knowledgeable, positive, and engaged in every step of the home buying process. I hadn't planned on getting an agent to buy my home, but after working with Stefani, I realize how fortunate I was to work with her. Get her as your agent!! After placing my offer on a home is when I learned how amazing the whole Jay Schmidt Group team is. Leah Tallon kept me informed and focused on tasks and procedures that needed to occur along the way. Everyone I spoke with conveyed a high level of professionalism and expertise. It's obvious to me, Jay Schmidt Group is a cut above the rest! List your home with them or ask them to find the perfect home for you! John F. read more

The Jay Schmidt Group was amazing to work with! Jay was very patient in working with us for almost 2 years to find our perfect home. He really KNOWS the North Shore of Milwaukee. He could rattle off past clients on almost every block we visited, knowing who has children and where they go to play. Jay knew what we wanted and was very honest with his opinions when asked. Once we found our home, he was fantastic with the offer and negotiation. Plus he had great recommendations for home inspectors, mortgage bankers, and tradesmen. His team took over to make sure we were on track for closing. This was the smoothest process we have been through after buying 3 other properties in the past. Thanks Jay! read more

The Jay Schmidt group is great team to work with! My husband and I (first time homebuyers) felt very comfortable with all of the members of the group. Jay took his time to get to know what we we looking for and he showed us a lot of houses to help us find the right area and home for us. It was easy to schedule showings, and, once we found the right home for us, he kept us in the loop with what was going on with the seller. We worked with two other team members for the final walk through and closing, and they were a pleasure to work with as well. We highly recommend the Jay Schmidt Group-they really care for their clients and are willing to go the extra mile for them. read more

We worked with Janine Werner, and she was nothing short of amazing. From our first interactions in starting the home search process through to closing, Janine was a highly responsive, supportive advocate for us -- and a ton of fun to work with. She has an incredible knowledge of the market and was a priceless resource for us through the offer, negotiation and closing processes. She was able to provide balanced views and perspective on what was reasonable to ask for, while being respectful of all parties' interests. We expect to be working with Janine again in the future and would not hesitate at all in recommending her real estate services. read more

The Jay Schmidt Group was amazing throughout our first home buying experience! The team made us very comfortable and kept us very educated on the market and houses. They even pointed out concerns they had on houses we were considering putting offers in on, which showed they really had our best interests in mind . A special thanks to Lindsey Vebber for allowing us to ask all the silly questions first-time home owners have, and helping us through the whole process when we found our new home. We are so thankful for all the hard work the team invested with us, and would recommend JSG to anyone looking to purchase a new home! read more

Really, our experience selling our home through Jay Schmidt Group is as good as it gets. The brokers open house produced multiple offers and we accepted one that exceeded the asking price. We closed on the sale a month later. Jay kept us well informed the entire time and quickly responded to questions we had, which were few because he, and his team, seemed to anticipate them and address an issue before thought to ask about it. Jay really knows the market and is a true professional. His team members are equally wonderful, especially Lindsey, who tastefully staged our house, and Charlie, who took beautiful pictures of it. read more

My wife and I were looking for a realtor in the Milwaukee area and through a Google search, we found the Jay Schmidt group. From the moment we first shook hands and had a chance to tell Jay and Katie Neville (who ended up being our guide through the house buying process) what we wanted, we knew we were in the right place. Their attention to detail and desire to find us exactly what we were looking for really set Katie apart! We know that when we are ready to re-enter the market, we will absolutely go with Jay and Katie. read more

We were recommended to Jay Schmidt group through a friend and it was an excellent recommendation indeed. Jay himself worked with us for most of our house search, which was nearly a year long. When he himself was unable to show us a house he had either Lindsay or Katie fill in. In the end Katie sealed the deal for us and we're now in a home we absolutely adore. FWIW we've seen a lot of Jay's signs in front of the massive mansions on Lake Drive. We weren't one of those clients, but we were treated as if we were! read more

Katie and the team at Keller Williams, Jay Schmidt Group were beyond amazing to work with from open to close! We knew what we wanted and Katie was patient with us in finding our perfect property. I don't think we were the easiest clients at times, but Katie was understanding, knowledgeable and had answers to our millions of questions. A huge thank you to Katie and all of the team! You exceeded all of our expectations and provided the type of customer service that is hard to find now a days! Thanks Again! read more

Mary Beth Freckmann was FANTASTIC to work with and was always so quick to respond to any questions or set up showings as soon as we talked with her.

We are extremely happy we worked with Jay Schmidt and will be recommending our friends to them when they start to settle down! read more
