She was amazing when dealing with the seller who was being incredibly stubborn. We almost walked away until Carron made the deal happen. Can't find a better more caring and hard working realtor in Madison.

Wow I had no idea a realtor could be so heartless and cruel- beyond doing her job. Kristin Wild was…read morevery catty with our agent when putting together a deal and was extremely rude. We met the sellers who seemed understanding and kind, but their realtor, Kristin Wild really misrepresented them. She stepped way outside the box as far as appropriate representation of the sellers and was difficult to work with. She doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut and when to be professional- if you are selling do not pick her she will undo a deal because she can't keep her mouth shut.

Jolenta goes above and beyond as a real estate agent. Having worked with a few agents over the…read moreyears, what stands out most is how much she looks out for your best interests as a buyer. There's never any pressure to rush into a decision--in fact, she often spends more time thoughtfully explaining why a house isn't the right fit than pushing you toward a quick close. That's because she's more than just an agent: she becomes a trusted neighbor, confidante, and thought partner. Jolenta listens closely, prioritizes your wants and needs, and helps you make sense of what's realistic in the market. We'd 100% work with her again.

From the initial prep and listing of our house for sale, to closing with Preferred Title, the people involved have been amazing.

We felt Brandon was extremely knowledgeable of the market but as an added bonus, he is also very knowledgeable about construction in general and was able to point out flaws or positive attributes of each house we toured. Brandon was our advocate throughout the entire process and made sure we got the best price and timely responses from the sellers. Before closing, Brandon's team contacted our mortgage lender directly to handle details and they followed up with us to make sure we had everything ready and were prepared! On closing day, Brandon came to the closing with us and explained anything that we didn't understand in the sea of paperwork presented to us. We highly recommend the Brandon Buell and The Buell Group! They were fantastic to work with!

Denis was very patient throughout the process and was always willing to provide his prospective yet meet our demands. The process certainly had its ups and downs as the market in the area was extremely hot. Denis was very good at presenting offers to the various seller as each time we put in an offer, there were multiple above asking price options. Ultimately, we got the house we were looking for with all the amenities we wanted in a beautiful semi-rural subdivision just minutes away from shopping, outdoor activities, and my employer. If you are looking for a committed agent with all the tools necessary to get you want you want, Denis is your guy. Thanks Denis

Things that Darcy Haber and the Solidarity Realty team don't have time to do:…read more 1. Read the laws that govern their business. The Wisconsin administrative code clearly indicates that landlords are responsible for repairing wear and tear and that tenants are responsible for unusual damage caused by tenant abuse. Darcy and the Solidarity team don't know this or choose to ignore it. If after 20 months of using the shower every day the low-quality paint on the ceiling starts to peel a bit, they'll regard that as abuse. That's right: Bathing is abuse. If after 20 months of placing a couch next to a wall there is the slightest little tinge of discoloration on the wall, they'll regard that as abuse. That's right: Sitting is abuse. 2. Hire a competent maintenance staff You won't get a professional. You'll get David, the guy who owns the unit and who wants to save a few bucks. He's pretty good at shuffling around the unit staring shame-faced at the floor as you point out the issues with his "repairs." Actually fixing things? Not so much. 3. Respond to simple maintenance requests. Let's say that they rent you a condo with large windows facing the lake. Now let's say you request that someone wash those windows during the 20 months that you're paying them large sums for this apartment. They will not have someone wash the windows. They will not even respond to your emails. It doesn't matter how many times you contact them. It's not that there isn't a company that cleans windows. There is. An employee of that company will magically appear just as you are moving out. Things Darcy Haber and the Solidarity Realty team DO have time for: 1) Cashing rent checks. They're very good at that! 2) Setting up shell companies. Everyone we dealt with works at Solidarity Realty. They all have Solidarity email addresses. We dropped our checks off at Solidarity's office. But apparently we weren't dealing with Solidarity, but with a company set up by Solidarity's owner for the sole purpose of renting this particular condo. 3) Removing negative reviews Don't ask for competent, timely repairs. Darcy and her team are too busy having accurate reviews taken down.

If you're looking to sell a house in Waunakee, Peggy Acker-Farber is the person you want to see!…read more She knows the area and the market extremely well. When it came time for my Mom to sell her Waunakee condo, we hemmed and hawed about who would help us with that task. After considering several realtor friends as well as previous realtors, we decided to go a new direction - with the name that is on every other "for sale" sign in Waunakee. Peggy Acker-Farber. We set up a meet-and-greet with Peggy at the condo where we could chat and she could walk through and tell us what she thought. Peggy was SO pleasant to visit with - very personable and fun. She also came very prepared, showing us comps and recent sales in the area, then giving her opinion on where the condo fell within those examples. That's where her knowledge shined bright - she knew that the condo would sell for a slightly higher price than we anticipated, and it probably wouldn't take long (though no promises!). Within days there were showings, giving us true insight of Peggy's abilities and connections. Seven days after listing, we had an accepted offer! We were able to stop showings and allow Mom to focus on packing and moving! Peggy's team was very thorough regarding all the work that went into showings, inspection, and the closing. They made sure that any questions we had were answered quickly and accurately. The closing went well and Mom was out of there quickly. The next day, while at her new place, a beautiful basket of flowers arrived thanking her for her business. Nice touch. I'm not sure how many homes outside of the Waunakee area Peggy and her team deal with. If I'm BUYING a house, I'll be calling Peggy to help me with that process. If you're in Waunakee as a seller, you should definitely consider calling Peggy and utilizing her team's local expertise. If I'm selling my Cross Plains house, I'll call Peggy first and see what she thinks - I'd have no doubts she'd be able to represent me well!
