Your Trusted Real Estate Partner in Mequon, WI
Founded in 1996, Home Buyers Advantage (HBA) was established with a clear mission: to help buyers and sellers maximize savings through low-cost services while maintaining exceptional customer support. As an exclusive buyer's agency initially, we prioritized representing clients' interests and offering financial incentives. In 1999, we expanded to serve sellers, introducing innovative programs like our Payless for MLS initiative, which quickly gained regional acclaim. Over the years, HBA has grown from a single office to a multi-location real estate company, offering integrated services through partnerships with title companies, mortgage providers, and contractors.Our unique value proposition combines legal expertise with real estate acumen, as our founder, Randy Rosen, operates as both a licensed attorney and real estate professional. Today, we continue to differentiate ourselves by delivering cost-effective solutions, personalized guidance, and a client-first approach that emphasizes transparency and long-term relationships.
