Both buying and eventually selling them as we divested of them to retire. In 2024, we were down to our last duplex and were selling it to a good friend. We needed to find a 3 bedroom ranch, no basement, no stairs, a 2 car garage. It was sellers market. We were having no luck. Constantly being out bid or finding the location popping up on line was already sold. We saw a new listing just inside St. Francis by a realtor named Kristel Sikora. She was with Shorewest Realty, Inc. out of New Berlin. She had just gotten the listing and we went together to view it for the first time. It was awful and she recommended we talk about our needs. She listened, and began searching for what we wanted. We viewed a myraid of homes with what we were looking for and in our price range the entire month of June. We continued being out bid in all opportunities. She suggested a different area we hadn't considered and immediately scored a sale in our price range with everything we wanted and closed mid July. Kristel Sikora has been a top producer with ten years experience. She listens, she acts on the information, and she sells. She's head and shoulders above all the rest. She'll be the only agent we'll ever use going forward. Happily retired homeowners: Stephen & Diane Jones"

After phone interviewing several…read moreagents, we decided Lisa was our best bet based on her "can do" attitude and examples of obstacles she had overcome with past home sales. To say we are pleased with the results is an understatement. Lisa showed our property over one weekend. We received 10 offers and the sale closed in six weeks -well above asking. As with any real estate transaction there were a few last minute bumps and potential issues that happened (water leak...). But Lisa was calm and efficient and highly communicative-she got the deal done. We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking a personable, professional realtor to sell your property.

Beth was recommended to us by everyone that we asked - we were hesitant to contact her because she seemed extraordinarily popular, and therefore, she must be busy. We never once felt as though we were being rushed, or like we were wasting Beth's time. Beth was super knowledgable and always available. We were very interested in buying a "charming" (old) house. Beth was incredibly knowledgeable from everything to weird electrical outlets, to ancient windows and wood floors. Each home we walked through, she was sure to point out small things that we could admire or question. Once we found a house, Beth was kind enough to give up a few hours of her afternoon to discuss the charm of the house, bringing up a few things we should watch out for on the home inspection. She helped us fill out the paperwork, and within 24 hours the house was ours! Beth recommended a home inspector, and also gave us a list of contractors that she trusts. She made the entire home buying process, and the home owning process so much easier than we anticipated. Over the holidays, we received a small box on the front porch. We opened it to find an adorable custom wooden ornament to remember our first home. How sweet! We will never buy or sell a home in the Milwaukee area without Beth's assistance - and we recommend you do the same!

Thanks when a friend recommended Lifetime realty group and we found Jen!! What a savior in a hectic time. She knew we didn't have a ton of time to look but could make more time in order to find the right house. She listen to what we wanted and what we could afford. Her assistant showed us houses and showed up with a flash light and taught us about the houses we saw. Also got me into showings that were hard to get into.

Very nice, very informative with any questions we had, and was very understanding with the situation with all 4 of us owning the house. He kept all of us informed of what was to happen, and what our next steps were. Mark would text us every time there was an update, a showing, the walk through, and offers on the property, also to the end at the closing. The Lifetime Realty Group went as far as separating the amounts equally between the 4 of us. The team there, are awesome and it was a privilege to get to know and to work with them all. I would definitely recommend Mark, and the Lifetime Realty Team to anyone who is wanting to sell or buy a house.

We knew nothing about buying or selling before beginning this process, but Kathryn was there every step of the way to answer our questions. She helped us find our dream home and recently sell it so that we could move cross country. It was such an easy process because she helped every step of the way. Some things we loved: - Communication. Easy to always ask questions back and forth! And we never felt like a bother. - Great for first-time buyers and sellers. She really helped us feel comfortable because we honestly had no idea what we were doing when it came to buying or selling. - Very thorough. Buying and selling can be an overwhelming process but Kathryn broke everything down into easy steps throughout the journey. She helped us with lists, advice on what to look for, and more. - Just great to work with all around. As we got our home ready to sell, we had a lot of maintenance/painters/etc. coming through and they all loved how responsive, easy, and thorough Kathryn was too. There's no way we could have done this without her. Highly recommend for anyone looking to buy or sell and especially first time homebuyers and sellers because you really do want someone who makes you feel comfortable in this process.
