Sue was wonderful when it came to listing and selling our home. We had to sell our home in order to buy our new home and she was ready to go to battle to make it happen. Whenever something came up, I knew I could call her (pretty much no matter what crazy hour it was) and she would get it done. She goes out of her way for her clients and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the future.

We were living in an apartment in Milwaukee and were tired of the rising rent so we decided to move to a rural area. Connie worked with us and explained everything since it was our first time buying a house! She was super nice and made time for us. Walked us through everything and gave us the best offer and house we could ever ask for. Thank you! We hope to live here for a very long time!

We have bought and sold 2 homes with Jim Kapellen as our realtor. He is incredibly knowledgeable and a true joy to work with. Each and every time he goes out of his way to make sure we are happy with the entire process of buying and selling our home. Truly, the entire staff is such a pleasure to work with. When a problem arose with a property we were purchasing this summer, while Jim was out of town, several people from the team immediately jumped on the issue to resolve the matter in a timely fashion. We couldn't be happier with the service and dedication of Pleasant

Matt was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout our home search process and once we found the perfect property, they ensured everything went smoothly. Cannot recommend them enough!
