  • "A Powerhouse Real Estate Team."

    We were consistently impressed with their quick response, deep understanding of our needs, and ability to find properties that hit the mark. Their market expertise, client-first approach, and commitment to long-term relationships really stood out. We are very pleased with the outcome and fully intend to partner again in the future.

    —Sanel and Admira

  • "We Couldn't Be Happier with the Experience!"

    From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to finding us the perfect home. Thanks to them, we found a home we absolutely love. If you're looking for Realtors who are experienced, caring, and truly committed to their clients, we highly recommend Gretchen and Cathy.

    —Anne and Dave

  • "Made the Buying Experience a Delight."

    They created a fun atmosphere while also providing the professionalism that put our minds at ease while searching for our first home. They were extremely knowledgeable every step of the way and made a large effort to be in tune with our needs and tastes. Anyone who works with this power duo is in good hands. If we look for another home in the future, their numbers will be the first ones we call.

    — John and Kayoko

  • "From selling our first forever home to finding us our last forever home."

    You listened to what we wanted and were so patient with us so that we could be sure that this home was right for us. Your knowledge and professionalism led us to this fantastic place! We are looking forward to making new memories here.

    You are wonderful to work with and we will highly recommend you to other home buyers (and sellers). Thank you again!

    — Dan, Jackie & Kiley

  • "Cathy and Gretchen worked overtime to save the buyer and get the deal done."

    Cathy and Gretchen are smart, energetic, and worked extremely hard as our Realtors. They did a great job once we agreed to a listing, but the real work began when we received an offer while out of town and in a bad internet connection area. The buyer was from out of town and wanted an answer that evening.

    Through that evening and the next day, Cathy and Gretchen worked overtime to save the buyer and get the deal done.

    We had a great experience from start to finish!

    — Paul & Cindy Hoff

  • "Had it not been for them, we would have missed out on the house of our dreams!"

    Cathy and Gretchen were phenomenal!

    In the most serendipitous of way, we came across THE HOUSE a week before our 5th child was due. They moved mountains to make sure all things were lined up and the process was seamless.

    Had it not been for them we would have missed out on the house of our dreams!

    — Raquel & Jose Salazar

  • "These ladies were looking out for our best interests."

    Cathy and Gretchen were amazing to work with – they went above and beyond to help us find our first home. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process.

    Any questions we had were answered timely and in detail. These ladies were looking out for our best interests and we greatly appreciated that because this process happened so fast and we needed people we could trust.

    We would without a doubt recommend Cathy & Gretchen to friends & family.

    — Danny & Danielle

  • "Cathy and Gretchen are kind, patient and professional."

    Cathy and Gretchen have been absolutely wonderful to work with.

    My mom moved to the area from her home in Florida, which she had lived in for 40 years. We knew that she wanted to have a place of her own close to us and on the lake. As expected, mom was pretty depressed when she moved, but from the first time she met Cathy and Gretchen she brightened up.

    They are kind, patient and professional; they engaged with my mom in a way that made mom comfortable and trusting. After the first few showings, they knew exactly what mom was looking for. Even in this tight market they helped mom find the right place for the right price.

    They advocated for my mom, helped with the process of putting in a bid, and guided us through a successful closing.

    — Kruti Schmitz (Bina Kothari)

  • "As a team they are great communicators, know the market very well and facilitate a smooth transaction."

    Cathy and Gretchen approached us with an exciting opportunity in a challenging market to move our family to a larger house while staying in our preferred neighborhood and school district.

    As a team they are great communicators, know the market very well and facilitate a smooth transaction.

    We are thrilled with our new home and plan to be there for many years. While we may not have the opportunity to work together again, we certainly would refer family and friends to them so that others can have the same great experience we did!

    — David & Kirsten G.

  • "Their knowledge, attention to detail and talent for negotiation make them an exceptional team."

    We had a wonderful experience working with Cathy and Gretchen!

    The quick sale of our home was seamless from start to finish. They are a team that wants the very best for their clients.

    Their knowledge, attention to detail and talent for negotiation make them an exceptional team.

    — Jamie & Tina Downing

  • "These ladies were here every step of the way for me—and still are."

    I just wanted to share a few words about my wonderful Realtors, Cathy and Gretchen, who I actually stumbled upon meeting in my search for a new home in Shorewood.

    I picked up the phone one afternoon after seeing Cathy and Gretchen's name on a listing. I was inquiring about a condominium. They knew all the information and told me about a condo that was going up the next day and that they thought this would fit all my requirements. We got in the next day to see the property and I loved it!! I put in an offer the next day.

    These ladies were here every step of the way for me—and still are.

    — Mary Devine

  • "The lot was not for sale, but they approached the owners and the owners were willing to sell."

    Cathy and Gretchen helped us find a lot suitable to build a house on in Whitefish Bay to live out our remaining years and be close to our grandchildren.

    The lot was not for sale, but they approached the owners and the owners were willing to sell.

    All through the process, they addressed all questions immediately and resolved all issues.

    I would work with both of them in a heartbeat. Thank you.

    — Kathy Dwyer

  • "We can't imagine having gone through the process without them."

    Cathy and Gretchen went all in for us.

    As first-time homebuyers and with purchasing a new construction, we needed a lot of support and they were there to give it to us. They were always available to answer questions, seek out more information, and make sure that we were taken care of.

    Their expertise, as well as their kind and welcoming personalities, always made us feel more comfortable.

    We can't imagine having gone through the process without them.

    — Kelley E.
