Julie made my first home buying experience absolutely great. Her excellent communication eased my anxieties about the process and she was there for us every step of the way. She was so professional, helpful, and I would 100% work with her again. I could have asked to work with anyone better.

In our life time we've bought and sold several properties. In all of those experiences none were better than those where Danell was involved as the agent. We hold her in the highest regard in her trade. She is honest, knowledgeable and always responsive to needs and questions.

If you are looking for someone who is professional, hard working and goes that EXTRA mile. Go no further than Emmer Real Estate Group and ask for Hanna Overman. She sold our with multiple offers between Christmas and New Years. She took a stressful situation and put us at ease. Everything went very well. If we ever sell our home again we know who will get that call. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

Had great buying experience in 2016 after having sold our farm in Northern Wi . Market was a if your needing to sleep on it, your probably not gonna sleep in it. We toured a last minute house before heading up North and said yes to price shortly there after. Our agent, Julie Semerau was just wonderful. Knew our needs and kept after it. It was a very pleasant transaction.
