"I am not sure what more you could ask for. They helped get amazing photos of our house for the listing, provided additional staging, and provided a deep clean before it hit the market so it was 100% show ready. They helped us sell our house fast and with an offer over asking price. One of the best experiences I have had selling a home up to this point and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.” - Nick & Sam B from Deforest, WI

"We're excited to recommend Jake. Jake was awesome to work with! We’re first-time homebuyers and the current market is extremely challenging—but Jake made it easy and clear for us. The entire process was smooth. We juggled searching for and buying our home with a bunch of work and family events: Jake was flexible, responsive, and accommodating of our needs. We can’t recommend him enough.
As first-time buyers, we weren’t immediately certain what type of home was best for us, and we asked Jake to show us many options. He was very patient and understanding of our broad search. He explained details, walked us through pros-and-cons, and always made us feel our needs and goals came first. Once we settled down on a particular type of home, we continued to explore, made an offer, and ultimately were successful, mostly due to Jake’s help.” - Fred S

"Jake was our realtor and he did a fantastic job! We were first time homebuyers and he was great helping us through the process - recommended a great lender, listened to us and found multiple options in our budget and with features we wanted, and always advised us to make smart decisions (ie. don't forgo inspection) and do what felt right to us. The entire support team was great keeping us on track through emails as well. Closing was incredibly smooth, and we love our place. I actively recommend them to people who ask.” - Jordan & Chris R. from Madison

★★★★★
"The team at Husky Homes has been fantastic to work with. They are responsible, professional, and courteous. Jake, one of the teams sales specialists is a shining star as well. I recently did an inspection for his clients at a very rough condition property with a comparatively low price point. As I continued to point out issues with the house, he didn’t once feel like throwing in the towel, which many agents in that position would have. The amount of care and extra effort was quite impressive. He was able to negotiate some wonderful wins for the client. If Jake is willing to put this much care on a rough, low price point house, an hour plus away, imagine what he and his team may be able to do for you. Keep up the good work, Jake!” - Matt S. from Madison
