Maggie Gehler's Success Stories

Katie Sprague of Firefly Real Estate is knowledgeable, trustworthy, hard working, kind and thoughtful. She always responded timely, thoroughly and accurately. She was willing to answer any question I had and make sure I understood all options and situations. She is an excellent listener and provides excellent guidance. I knew I had someone I could trust looking out for my best interest. Katie made me feel like I was a priority. She is a consummate professional who is an absolute pleasure to work with!

Selecting Firefly to represent us in the sale of our home was one of the best decisions we made. Utilizing Firefly’s vast experience of the Wauwatosa market, Katie developed a strategy to market our home, quickly implemented the strategy and constantly kept us informed of every step along the way. The result greatly exceeded our expectations and we attribute a large part of that success to Katie’s professionalism and dedication to customer service.

Mallory made our first-time home buying experience a breeze! She knew the local area’s ins and outs and helped us make informed decisions to build a strong offer. In today’s market, it seems rare to have your first offer accepted! She was incredibly responsive to the many calls, emails, and questions sent her way. Mallory truly went above and beyond, and we cannot recommend her enough.

My husband and I bought our first home yesterday and we couldn’t be happier with Kyle or Firefly! We started our house hunting process about a year ago and with a different company. After a few weeks with this other company, I decided we needed a change. I had followed firefly online and knew this is the company I wanted. We contacted them and they gave us Kyle. Kyle is the best!! We probably looked at over 50 homes all ranging from Milwaukee to Waukesha. Kyle was so patient with us and excited to show us every home. These homes ranged from fixer uppers to move in ready homes and he still was enthusiastic no matter which one it was. He would get us in to see houses last minute and was very knowledgeable about each home and the condition of things in it. We could not say enough good things about him!

We recently relocated from California to the Milwaukee area and while we were familiar with the home buying process in California, Amy did a fantastic job of navigating the market here for us, and helping us understand how the process works in Wisconsin. She was very responsive with her communication, and worked to get us the very best deal on our home. My husband and I really felt as though she was our advocate throughout the entire process.

From start to finish, Betsey kept me informed and worked hard every day (and night) to get the best all around deal for my house. She was great with all the professional details and as well as with the emotions that arise when selling one’s home. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!

Working with Betsey Caron from Firefly Real Estate was an excellent experience. Betsey was extremely thorough and followed the transaction every step of the way, she even handle issues for us while we were out of the country the week before closing!! We will be recommending Betsey and Firefly to anyone looking for a wonderful and knowledgeable Realtor!!

From the first moment of contact where Jenna replied to my interest in a home on Zillow with personal contact, not just a robotext, Jenna has been an amazing person to work with. She got us into every home we wanted to look at incredibly quickly, and walked us through the entire home buying process. She fought for us when we experienced issues with our lending company and advocated for us when working with the listing agent. During our home buying process our son was born premature and went through heart surgery days after birth. Jenna worked around our schedule and honestly, showed herself to be more than just a realtor. Shes a great person, and we can not recommend her enough!

Jenna was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a falling-out with our former realtor and consider it a blessing in disguise that we ended up working with Jenna. After she helped set up a private showing, she also helped draft a strong offer – which was accepted by the seller within an hour! Throughout the process, she was in constant communication keeping us informed throughout all steps. Due to her professionalism, communication skills, and her ability to listen (other realtors – take notes!), I would not hesitate to recommend Jenna to friends and family in need of a realtor. As first-time homebuyers, we could not have been any happier or surprised at how smooth the process was.

Anne Mueller and the Firefly team really went above and beyond to ensure that we had a smooth transaction, even though we were buying from out of state. First Anne did a Facetime walk through when the property went on the market and I wasn’t available to see it live. Then even though our offer was not accepted she stayed in contact with the sellers agent and when the initial offer fell through she was able to help us get the property at a great price with a quick close. She always kept us informed, represented our best interests, and paid extra attention to detail to ensure a quick and successful closing. Anne has great knowledge of the local Wauwatosa market and we highly recommend Anne to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Milwaukee area, and we will definitely work with her again in the future.

We had an amazing experience working with Joey Paschke and Firefly. Joey was knowledgeable, friendly and on time. He worked with our schedule to look at many homes in a very seller-friendly market and made us feel comfortable with the process. He was always quick to answer our many (!) questions and had a lot of good advice to offer. We would highly recommend him and Firefly!

We recently moved from Oconomowoc to Wauwatosa. As empty nesters looking to change it up quite a bit, we had a pretty specific list of requirements for our next home. Anne and the whole team at Firefly did a wonderful job finding us homes that fit and then quickly guiding us thru the offer process. We ended up with a home that was exactly what we were looking for and in our favorite neighborhood.

Heather helped us through our first home purchase and was wonderful to work with! As first time home buyers, we were very eager learn as much as possible and see several different homes in different areas. Heather was very informative and accommodating which put us at ease! Her encouragement, patience and kindness made the stressful situation of buying a home enjoyable! We’d highly recommend Heather and the rest of the Firefly team!

Karla was amazing from start to finish with the sale of my home. She has the best personality, and really has a way of calming the nerves of an anxious buyer. I really felt like Karla was on this journey with me. The first buyer I had fell through due to a home sale contingency on their end. Karla was so supportive in coming up with a new plan that I was comfortable with. Within 5 days we had another offer! Karla’s communication was above and beyond. I appreciated the times when we were waiting to hear something, and Karla would let me know if she was heading into a meeting. It gave me the ability to know that there was going to be a chunk of time that I wouldn’t hear anything, and that was ok. She always checked in as soon as she had news for me. Karla did an outstanding job keeping my buyer on her target timeline, and got us to closing without an issue. This home sale absolutely could not have gone more smoothly! I would recommend Karla to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She was such a joy to work with!!!

When beginning the search for our new home, we began to ask friends for recommendations for real estate agents who know Wauwatosa. To a one, they recommended that we approach Firefly. We were matched with Kyle Sprague. His knowledge of the area, his concern for our wants and needs, his attention to detail, his energy and positivity, and his hard work were nothing short of exemplary. Though, collectively, this is our fourth home purchase, we have never felt more supported and more informed, and never felt as well represented in the process. We cannot wait to recommend Kyle’s services to friends looking to move to the area!

Trish guided me through the process of selling the duplex I had owned for 19 years.  She helped me determine a fair asking price, guided me through the process, and I felt comfortable with all decisions.  My duplex sold quickly, with multiple offers.  This can be a confusing scenario for anyone who’s not into real estate.  There were many differences among the offers – Trish presented the offers side by side and explained them fully so I could make the best choice.  I trusted her and felt confident with her expertise.  I couldn’t be happier with her service.

Finding Trish with Firefly Realty was truly our good fortune!  While we were at first just looking for “an estimate” of our home’s value – we ended up both selling AND buying homes within 4-6 weeks (the sale of our home literally happened in ONE day!).  Trish knows the market and told us to be ready for a quick sale – but also explained what “could” happen if our home didn’t sell quickly – what we could expect over the next months based on market conditions and data of home sales, etc.  Between Trish’s sales knowledge and familiarity of the locations we were buying and selling – and her ability to listen and understand what we, as sellers/buyers, wanted and needed, we truly had a great experience!  Trish is very professional and extremely well-informed while also being sincere, friendly, and easy to work with.  We really credit Trish as having made this whole process much easier than it’s supposed to be!  Thank you so much Trish!!!!
