Alex is an amazing realtor. He's so good that I sent the president of First Weber (who knew my…read morefather) this message. Is Alex Saloutos real? A realtor who thinks about us first, and not him? Let me explain. You already know the first part of this; but the latest chapter is new. We want to buy a lot. Alex spends a lot of time showing us lots and does an electronic mapping thing that works great with my personality. After a long search, we find one we love. It is, I forget maybe $99,000. I suggest an offer around $91,000. Alex builds a spreadsheet of golf course lots in Dane County and notes that this one started on the market 3 years ago at maybe $109K. He thinks it can be had for under $80K. We make an offer below $70K, and settle at $71K and make the purchase. We are ecstatic. Melanie, though, really wants to live IN Madison. After completely designing a house for the lot in SketchUp (OK, I can be psychotically driven); I say, "If that's where you want to live; let's expand/remodel your old house". $300K later it is great. But we still own the lot, which is listed at $79,900 to be virtually the same price as the adjacent lot. Early this week we get an offer of $74K. Alex researches the offer and talks to the seller's realtor. He learns that they want to build a BIG house on a golf course (like the neighbor's house), and need two lots to do that. He learns that they have an accepted offer on the adjacent lot, contingent on closing with our lot. There are only three lots in our subdivision left, and only two adjoining. Alex advises holding on our price, and countering at full price; but offering them a copy of the detailed survey that we paid for ($925), which costs us nothing now. That's gutsy! His best interest would have been served by saying, "take it!" You understand better than anyone that one way to get easy commissions is to get your clients to underprice their homes, or advise them to buy at premium prices. The next day they accepted the full price offer Between the two transactions; Alex took us from a loss of around $20K (plus taxes and transaction fees), to a net profit even after fees and commissions. I can't recommend Alex too much. We will sing his praises to everyone interested in a realtor. I have a vCard for Alex that I send to anyone interested in a realtor. You really can build your business by serving clients' interests, and not going for the quick gains. Jeff Boldt, PE

Dan's team was nothing short of amazing. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, helpful and knew their craft. The stager was so helpful and the photographer was awesome. Our pictures for the listing were phenomenal, people who had been in our house commented on how spectacular it looked. Since we were packing and getting ready to move, we staged & took pictures in waves as we packed and shuffled boxes around. Dan made a coming-soon listing for us and added pictures as they came in. We had an unexpected early closing date on our new home and Dan was extremely helpful in assisting us with some last minute things that needed to be taken care of prior to officially going on the market. Once we were moved, our house went on the market with an ideal sell date of 10 weeks [by the close of the year.] We were under contract in about 4 weeks and closed in 8 of our listing. Dan's market analysis really was a key component in making sure we were priced competitively to get our offer. Dan and his team kept us informed throughout the process and we never felt out of the loop or that we were being ignored, this was especially appreciated because we were out of state during some of this process. We would definitely use Dan as our agent again without hesitation if we needed to purchase or sell property in the Madison area.

Her communication was consistently clear, timely, and reassuring, which made every stage of the process feel manageable. Asher knows the Madison market and its neighborhoods inside and out, and her pricing guidance was always realistic and well‑informed. She also has a deep understanding of older homes and was quick to point out mechanical issues or areas to watch, which I found incredibly valuable. Throughout our time working together, she was unfailingly available, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me make the right decisions. I've already recommended her to three friends, and I can't speak highly enough of her professionalism and expertise. If you're looking for an agent who truly goes above and beyond, Asher is the one to trust.
