The journey my husband and I had with Lake Geneva Area Realty (LGAR) realtor Teri Krohn, in finding our new home in Wisconsin was fantastic from start to finish--a successful journey for sure!!! Teri walked us through every step of the way, showing us houses and buildable lots. As we continued our search, Teri clearly understood what our concerns were for our future home and promptly answered ALL of our questions, all of which helped us to ultimately find and purchase our "dream home." Then Teri carefully guided us through ALL of the steps of the purchase process with expertise and clarity. We

Recently purchased a vacant lot on Lake Beulah. Lake Geneva Area Realty (who was not my realtor) and the entire staff were extremely helpful and very quick to respond to my numerous requests from them. Even after the purchase they sent me additional information they thought would be helpful to me. Next time I purchase property they will be the realtor I choose. Thanks Sean for all your hard work.

Was grossly misled on a purchase. Suspect there were some shady background dealings going on with the things that were covered up. This realtor was the seller's realtor.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our experience with the Lake Geneva Area Realty team. We were very unsure of what the process would look like since we were first time buyers, but they really took care of us. If we had a question, our realtor was very helpful. They did a great job communicating with us and our lender regarding any deadlines or fees that were involved. We would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Walworth County.
