Maggie Gehler's Success Stories

We can’t say enough great things about our experience with Trish Collins and Firefly. Through every step of the process Trish guided us with patience, kindness, and the utmost professionalism. With a market as hot as ours is, our search took a bit longer than expected. But we felt so well represented by her thoughout and ultimately found the home of our dreams. Beyond her seemingly endless knowledge, Trish also strikes an incredible balance in providing helpful guidance without ever coming across as pushy. She truly puts the best interests of her clients above all else, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Katie and the entire Firefly team are exceptional.  We could not have asked for better advice, strategy or execution of our transaction.  Katie helped us find the perfect home as well as sell our current home. The entire process was personalized, efficient and effective.  We could not have been more pleased with the personalized service, attention to detail and overall experience Katie provided.  Thank you Firefly!

Without a doubt, if you are looking to buy or sell real estate in Tosa, Firefly is the option. We recommend Katie and her team without reservation.  This is our 12th real estate transaction with our sale today in several different states and Katie is by far the best.  Thank you Katie and thank you to the Firefly team.

Katie Wakefield is a real estate rockstar! I was very satisfied with Katie’s approach to selling my Wauwatosa home, from start to finish.  She is very professional, friendly and is an outstanding communicator throughout the entire process.  I highly recommend Katie and Firefly if you are in need of an experienced and dedicated real estate agent.

We had such a great experience working with Carrie as our buyer’s agent! In a highly competitive market, her expertise really made the difference in knowing how to stand out from other buyers and craft a compelling offer. We were prepared for a long home search, but found our perfect fit and got an accepted offer much quicker than anticipated, thanks to Carrie’s assistance. Carrie was always responsive and quickly answered our (many) questions. Plus, her knowledge of the local market was incredibly helpful. We would highly recommend Carrie to anyone looking to buy a house especially in the greater Wauwatosa area.

Jackie was such a pleasure to work with. I was referred to her by one of my coworkers and I am so happy they referred me! We were first time homebuyers so we had no real knowledge about house hunting and all the little things that come along with that. She made us feel comfortable and made sure we were educated about everything we needed to know before going into showings/putting in an offer. She is so personable and she really knows this market! She is an excellent realtor and if you are looking for one, reach out to Jackie! You won’t be disappointed 😊

Carrie did an amazing job helping us purchase a new home. She was very helpful, flexible, efficient, reliable, detail-oriented, and a great listener. She understood the type of home we were looking for and quickly made arrangements to meet our schedules. Carrie continued to help us with things, even after the sale had been finalized.

Most importantly, Carrie understands that buying a home is about people, not buildings!

Thanks to Carrie and Firefly Real Estate for making this next stage of our lives exciting and happy, rather than scary and stressful.

Mallory was SO excellent. She was well informed, thoughtful, strategic, and so patient in guiding us through the home buying and selling process, and the many emotions that come along with it. I joked several times she was almost our therapist navigating us through the ups and downs of the process. Couldn’t be happier with the whole process, really appreciated the extra details put in by Firefly & Mallory.

Carissa was a wonderful realtor! My husband and I are first time homebuyers and had a great experience. Carissa was very knowledgeable and always looking out for our best interests. She was always available to check out homes and made things work with our busy work schedules. We had lots of confidence in Carissa and she made this experience easy and exciting.

Carrie is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She was responsive, knowledgeable, resourceful, professional and highly effective. I honestly don’t have any constructive criticism to provide as Carrie thought of it all! Navigating this highly competitive market was not easy, but Carrie made it all the better, and ultimately helped us land an amazing home. Working with Carrie was truly a pleasure, I cannot speak highly enough of her. The sincerest thank you to Carrie and the entire Firefly team.

Heather helped us buy our new home and sell our old home. She worked hard to get us the prices we wanted both times, and we had fantastic experiences because of her. She was incredible every step of the way, always going above and beyond to guide us through the process and make sure we had all the essential information we needed before making any decisions. She was very quick to respond to my emails and texts, and was so patient and helpful as we house hunted. I truly can’t recommend her enough! She’s the best!

From beautiful twilight photos, to staging that made our house feel more open and inviting, to indoor photos that showed the spaciousness of our home. Firefly did a great job showcasing our house. Heather made the whole process worry free. How much is our house worth? What updates should we make before we list? Heather guided us through all these decisions, recommended needed updates, and gave us confidence in our list price. She made sure we had our outdoor photos taken in the fall to show off our yard at its best, even though we were listing in the spring. She reassured us through the inspection process that everything would be fine and made it easy to work through the issues that arose at inspection. Our house sold at a higher price thanks to Heather – she made closing this chapter of our lives more sweet. Thank you!

Carrie Fisher & Amy Standal @ Firefly Realty in Tosa are the two best realtors I’ve ever worked with. They are both highly skilled, knowledgeable, dependable, honest, and trustworthy. They gave sound advice & guidance that was so incredibly valuable to us as rather “green” home buyers & first-time sellers. Absolute rockstar work is being done by these two powerhouses, and they deserve to be celebrated! Perhaps most importantly, they made themselves available to us and did whatever was needed during our home sale and purchase without us having to ask or wonder what was supposed to happen next. If there was ever an update to be shared, we knew within minutes. It is a true partnership with both of them by our side, and I can feel now much they care about their clients. They both want what’s best for us, and treated our home purchase/sale as though it were their own. They were there with us at any hour, day or night, and we never felt “in the dark” or uninformed about anything. The smallest details were kept in check every step of the way and we have the utmost confidence in these two. True experts in their field, in every sense of the word. I firmly believe that we would not have bought our dream house without Amy, or sold our house as quickly/easily without Carrie. Especially in this crazy market, the process of buying & selling a house can be stressful & a true rollercoaster, but because we had Carrie & Amy as our dream team, it could not possibly have been any more easy. They both made my husband and I feel as though we were their top priority and their only clients. We are so lucky to have Amy & Carrie in our corner and we endlessly recommend their services. I really could go on and on about how happy & grateful we are to have such a second-to-none team. In fact, every time I attempted to wrap up this review, I thought of another detail I could add about how amazing they are. The list goes on and on but I’ll leave it at this. THANK YOU team Firefly, from the bottom of our hearts.

“Kelley told us what was going to be involved, what we would need to do, and which things mattered most, and which things we could ignore. She was spot on in every case. Communicating timing so clearly and ASAP made all the difference in allowing us to manage this project and our busy lives. Kelley told us the advantages in this current market, and wasn’t pushy, but just laid out the facts plain and simple.  Integrity: should be a given, along with the other things I didn’t go into detail on, but Kelley is a cut above the rest here. As I was sitting with her and she was communicating offers that were declined, people were asking her things she wasn’t supposed to disclose, and Kelley just matter of fact declined to answer in a firm tone. I remarked that people wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t the case that others do disclose things. I really appreciated the fair and measured way that she conducts business.

“It’s so reassuring to have an experienced agent by your side through the home buying process, especially in this crazy market! Kelley is knowledgeable, communicative, responsive, and thankfully has the best sense of humor to ease those anxious home buying moments. She provided helpful advice and guidance throughout our home search and we came away with a new home we love. We couldn’t have done it without her! “
