Trish Collins'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.

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.

When we bought our first house 6 years ago, Trish was our buying agent. We had such a great experience with her then – and she did such a great job staying in touch – that we knew we wanted to work with her again to sell our house and find our next home. She was great through the whole process, answering questions when we had them and guiding us along in what needed to happen to sell our house. Trish told us we would have multiple offers on our house, but we never expected to have 12 offers in one day! She stayed up and talked through each one with us on the phone at 11 p.m. as the last ones came in. She offered advice when asked but never pressured us one direction. She welcomed our questions and understood any concerns we had along the way. When we ran into roadblocks, she fought for us. We had a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Trish was incredible—- start to finish!

She was incredibly knowledgeable of the business— she was diligent when reviewing comps and thorough in her improvement recommendations. She was always patient, pleasant and positive. She made herself easily available.

Selling homes can be stressful; but Trish takes the complication out of the process!

Trish was top-notch, professional, kind, and caring. We were novice home sellers, but she worked to understand what was important to us, and then was resourceful and meticulous with all the details of preparation for listing, and kept us on track despite some unexpected occurrences. We found a buyer right away and closed on time without complication thanks to her expert guidance. We have recommended her to our son and his wife, and will recommend to anyone else we know who needs a realtor.

We have nothing but positive things to say about working with Trish and Firefly. Searching for a home in the competitive Tosa area as a newly married couple and first time homebuyers seemed like a daunting undertaking but Trish held our hand every step of the way. She was always very patient with our never ending questions, accommodated to seeing homes on extremely short notice, and not only had extensive knowledge about homes but the area as well. She was very timely in communicating with us, sellers, and other agents in every part of the process. Trish never pressured us to make a decision or made us feel as if we should choose one thing over another. She always encouraged us to keep our hopes up and promised us our house was out there. She kept her promise and now we live in the most perfect home for us and our 2 pups. We couldn’t have done it without her!
