I have bought and sold a few properties in Wisconsin (commercial and residential). This Agent was…read morethe worst by far of them all. Very unprofessional & rude. If you try and pull away from their listing because it's not what they promise, they hold you hostage for future sale of your property. They say one thing and act another. Be careful signing a contract with them. They simply lie to get your business. My experience was simply horrible with them.

Jay Schmidt and his team are the best. If you are looking to buy or sell your home, then you need…read moreto call the Jay Schmidt Group. We recently moved back to the Milwaukee area. We were targeting Whitefish Bay or Wauwatosa for our next home. We reached out to Jay, and he immediately set us searching for homes that met our criteria. We have a crazy schedule with managing a new job, moving a long distance, and having 2 kids under 6 at home. Jay and his team always worked around our schedule. They were responsive via email, text and phone calls at all hours. The market is really hot, and they were able to get us into newly posted homes quickly, and we were able to compete on every home we were interested in. They're a highly experienced team, and you NEED that support in this hot market. Everything we needed was written and submitted immediately. There were never any delays. Within a few weeks we found and purchased our dream home. We could not be happier. We will only use Jay Schmidt and team for any future real estate needs.

Had a great experience with this group. Everyone was very professional and responded to all of my…read moreconcerns and questions in a very timely manner. This was a big deal because I used this group remotely from out of state to sell my property in Wauwatosa. Their mobile apps make it very easy to see and schedule showings and you get great, timely feedback on the showings as well. The group treats you with respect and I am very lucky to have been able to use them to sell this property. Definitely recommend!

5 stars is an understatement! If only there were an opportunity to give more stars! There are few…read morepeople you'll meet in your lifetime that are more compassionate, yet professional, than Marc. He truly "gets it". 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.

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.

Chad Scheifen at Encompass Realty helped us out so much with answering questions, and helping us…read morewith selling and buying 3 of our homes! Would never choose any other realtor! Chad even helped us move our furniture to our next homes and knows what he is doing when it comes to moving because he use to move furniture for many years! Andrea Johnson also helped us out alot with getting top dollar for our homes we sold and working through many unexpected issues with selling our homes! I would highly recommend Encompass realty to whomever is looking to buy or sell!

Chad is an incredibly attentive professional! As first time home buyers, he was so informative. One…read morenight, we happened to check our credit score and were surprised to see that we actually might qualify to buy a home. We called Chad and set up a meeting at a local restaurant. Over a pizza, he tirelessly answered all of our questions (and then some!). He referred us to a fantastic mortgage lender and together they helped us though every step. It was sooo stress-free! When it came time to start looking, he graciously took us to every place we wanted to see including a couple that we knew would not be right for us (we wanted to get an idea of how the photos and real things would compare). Sometimes, like the day we found OUR home, he actually met with us twice in a day. It was a FSBO, but he left the gym and zipped over to see if there was a phone number on the sign, since there was only an email address on the Zillow listing. 15 minutes later, we were looking and shortly thereafter, ready to make an offer. Unbeknownst to us, the seller had been inundated with interested buyers and there was some drama involved that nearly cost us the house. Chad saved it for us by going over and beyond to help the seller. She told him that a great part of why she accepted our offer is because of his kindness and willingness to help. We moved into our home a mere 26 days after making the offer. We HIGHLY recommend Chad & Encompass Realty. Call! You will be so glad you did!
