Maggie Gehler's Success Stories

We listed our first home in Wauwatosa in the fall with a small real estate agency. In seven weeks, we had less than ten showings and one offer that fell through. We had already bought a new home and moved which only added stress to this process. We found Trish at Firefly and decided to make the switch. Our now vacant home was staged right away, rebranded, and given new life on the MLS. In one week, we had more than twenty showings and three offers to choose from. We accepted an offer for above asking price. The closing was done in three weeks and Trish was an expert every step of the way.

Trish turned our terrible situation around like we could not have imagined. She is incredibly knowable about Tosa, the market, and the process. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help selling, or buying a home in the area.

 Firefly included the professional staging and photographs as part of working with them. This was extremely helpful in presenting my mom’s condo in it’s best light. And Carrie thought of everything to make this experience as easy as possible. We’ve never had a better experience with a realtor! She was amazing!

As a first time homebuyer I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Being in a seller’s market was extremely intimidating and I often found myself leaning on the support of my Realtor Carrie for her expertise. She was both honest and incredibly patient … which was exactly what I needed. While I don’t expect to sell my new home anytime soon, I’d 100% return to use Carrie and Firefly’s services once again and cannot recommend them enough. Working with a locally owned business was just a cherry on top of it all.

Mary Caye did a wonderful job! She patiently guided me through each step in selling my friend’s home. She was easy to get ahold of and promptly replied to all my phone calls and emails. I fully put my confidence and trust in her as a realtor and would definitely use her again should the opportunity arise.

Carrie made our home selling process so smooth. We had a slightly odd timeline because of holidays and moving to a new city, and Carrie guided us through all of our options and helped us make the best decision for us. Even from our first interaction at our home she showed sincere care for us and the house. She took care of all of the staging and kept us informed along the way. Even being two hours from the house, we knew that everything was in good hands. Because of Carrie’s excellent understanding of the market, of what buyers were looking for and considering, we received many offers over asking price. We highly recommend Carrie and the team at Firefly.

My siblings and I experienced a profound loss with the unexpected death of our beautiful mother. The thought of selling our childhood home compounded these feelings. Thank goodness for Mary Caye Smith who held our hand and walked us through what could have been an overwhelming experience. Mary Caye’s effervescent personality, genuine compassion, and keen business sense made the sale a rewarding and positive endeavor. She found the perfect family who will love “our” home as much as we did.

Trish Collins provided an exceptional real estate experience. I listed my home for sale and she delivered her expertise from preparing the house for sale to include staging, pricing, as well as the timing of listing, in an effort to maximize profits. Trish kept me apprised during every phase of the sales process and provided guidance on showings and offers. She never failed to keep me informed on an almost daily basis and addressed communications and negotiations with buyers and other realtors immediately. I had over a dozen showings the first week and offers the first day. My home sold extremely quickly.

We are very satisfied with our experience with Mary Caye and Firefly! She was very helpful throughout the process from home hunting to paperwork. Excellent, quick, and thorough communication of any updates on anything involving homes we were looking at. Good external references as well. She has great knowledge of older homes having owned a couple herself!

All of these skills led us to landing our perfect house! Mary Caye and all of her Firefly coworkers (we met a few) were all fantastic!

Mary Caye was extremely professional, while keeping the home buying and selling process fun and exciting. She was very patient with us as we looked at nearly everything on the market, and ultimately helped us in finding our dream home in Cedarburg! We could not be happier. And we were able to accept an offer on our home for sale within 12 hours of listing – INCREDIBLE! The process was seamless and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy AND sell in the North Shore. 10 out of 10! Thank you so much, Mary Caye!
