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!

They got us through a very difficult time with compassion and a friendship that has endured. We highly recommend them!

I came to Corcoran Realty at the recommendation of a friend after a bad experience with my first…read morerealtor. That realtor made me feel a lot of pressure to overbid and submit offers without inspection contingencies, telling me, "You can wait, but the market will only get more expensive, and you can't save as fast as prices are rising." After doing some research and reading the literature on Corcoran Realty's website, it was clear this was something they anticipated many realtors would do and that they felt an ethical obligation to ensure their clients didn't enter into offers that weren't in their best interests. The consultation I had with Katie and her partner, Cali, couldn't have convinced me more that this was exactly how they operated. They were honest, practical, and their advice made a lot of sense. It was my great pleasure, then, that the first place I looked at after retaining them was the one I ultimately received an accepted offer on. I worked mostly with Cali, who couldn't have been more knowledgeable or professional throughout the entire process. After such a stressful month with my first realty team, this may sound too good to be true, but I honestly felt like the stress of it all washed away once Corcoran became my full-time realty team. Dare I say it, the process became almost fun. Instead of stressing about getting a bad deal, I found myself focusing on how I was going to transition my life into becoming a homeowner. I was extremely happy with the deal and even negotiated some seller's credits, which came because I was able to inspect the property. I can't say every experience will go as smoothly as mine did - it's a tough market - but their approach was incredibly reassuring for a first-time homebuyer. I would recommend Corcoran Realty to anyone looking for a home, whether it's their first or their fifth. I plan to recommend them to friends and family, and I hope to work with them again should I find myself in the market in the future.

Katie is a fantastic agent! We had a bit of a difficult situation: we were moving to a totally new…read morestate where we had no lay of the land at all. We knew what we wanted in a house and a neighborhood in general but had not the slightest clue where to even begin. To top all that off, our move had to happen pretty quickly AND during a time when houses were selling the same week they were listed. Katie took the time to ask us lots of questions to get to know us, and she showed us several different neighborhoods and different types of architecture - we quickly realized that she was a Milwaukee expert. We eventually saw a house pop up and she went over there the very same day to go see it. She skyped us in and did a virtual walk-through of the house since we were still in another state - we really appreciated her flexibility in doing this. She did some research on the pricing of the house/neighborhood and we made and offer and got the house. I was super nervous when I saw it in person for the first time but it was everything we wanted. In short, Katie took the time to get to know us and our personal styles. She was patient as we saw different neighborhoods and styles of house and at the end of the day she really kept in mind what was important to us. Our situation was certainly not typical and I don't believe that all agents would've wanted the pressure of having a client in another state but Katie does not back down from challenges like that. I have full confidence in recommending her to anyone looking for a home in Milwaukee!

This was my first experience selling a home and it proved to be very disappointing. Suzanne and…read moreher associate, Gretchen, walked through and the red flags were immediate. As we were walking through Suzanne asked, "is it yours to sell?" I thought how odd a question. I couldnt help but wonder does she ask all her clients that question? She also stated she would take a 5.5 % sellers commission instead of the customary 6%. I didn't think much of it until a few weeks after signing the listing agreement that she indeed was charging 6% and not the 5.5% she had promised. During the initial meeting she said she wouldn't be putting her agency sign outside because more and more homeowners were making that choice for privacy. I thought it sounded a little odd but this being my first time selling a home I didn't question it. None the less the second it sold there was a sign planted in the front yard. I had just purchased a new Samsung washer and dryer a few months prior and I had them listed as an exclusion in the sale, however I was forced to leave them when I moved. Unfortunately the refrigerator had a maintenance issue while the condo was listed and I could have spent $200 and had it repaired and all would have been good but again was forced to give the buyer a $2500 credit. Gretchen is nothing more than a bully and a thug and will say or do anything without any consideration for honesty to get what she wants. She accepted a low ball offer without consulting me and set up 2 closings, a closing for me alone and another for the buyers so we wouldn't meet, how insulting. While taking care of some final touchups before an open house one of Suzannes employees was lending a hand and started talking about Trump's stolen election and she couldn't understand why we couldn't agree with her.

We wish we had chosen Powers first. They handled our sale with professionalism, expertise, and extensive experience in unique selling circumstances. This allowed them to complete the sale when larger real estate firms couldn't. This speaks to their network of support partners and excellent professional relationship with them. From our first meeting with Suzanne and Gretchen, we were so impressed with their preparation and attention to detail. Both Suzanne and Gretchen arrived at our home with face masks and were very serious about the new showing and realtor protocols with COVID19. They maintained this same level of diligence and customer focus to all aspects of our sale. Gretchen and Suzanne exhibited expert knowledge and problem solving skills when faced with all phases of the sale and any challenges as they arose. They kept us informed and presented solutions while working collaboratively with us throughout our sale's progression. They were always available and responded promptly to us. Abbey was integral in the smooth execution of all the tasks during the sale. She was also a delight to deal with. Powers Realty Group presents itself as a boutique broker. They are the epitome of this label. They are right sized, specialized and the perfect balance of exceptional customer service and expert knowledge base. They shine throughout the range of real estate possibilities, from niche property sales to traditional properties. Our only regret is that we did not call Powers Realty Group sooner for our sale. Thank you Suzanne, Gretchen and the team for a job well done. We are very grateful.

As with any real estate transaction there were a few last minute bumps and potential issues that happened (water leak...).
