Testimonials

Hi Scott I just wanted to say thank you for your help in finding me an ideal piece of property. I enjoyed working with you and especially liked the Private Client Services website that was set up for my needs. Looking at what was available, in my price range and area I wanted to stay in made it easier for me. I didn’t have the time nor did I want to see everything that was out there that did not fit my criteria. The fact that you understood what I was looking for with hunting land and being able to put in food plots was a big help. I trusted your judgment on certain pieces of property and it all paid off in the end. I am only 10 minutes from my cottage, have already started food plots the first weekend I was there and looking for places to put deer stands. Memories are starting already. Thanks again and I certainly will forward any possible business your way.

Hi Scott and the NorWisRealty Team! Sorry for the delay in responding. I was traveling last week. Nancy and I want to express our thanks for taking us on this journey. Scott, your patience and understanding through our property search was much appreciated. I know we had your head spinning a couple of times as our search scope changed, to you it probably seemed like on every trip up. But you held firm to our first wants and desires taking us back to the place that truly fit our criteria. During the negotiation process you went the extra mile for us. Nancy and I had budgeted a sale price that we needed to adhere to. With the owners coming within a close dollar range, there seem to be no way the two prices could meet. Then you stepped in to brokerage a DEAL! Nancy and I were very happy to experience customer service like this……………it was so welcoming. Then too top it off we were ready to close but the underwriter noted no railing on a portion of the deck that was 2-3 feet off the ground “safety hazard” Scott called to give the bad news. We had 4 days to repair the area. No time for me to fly to Wis. or call relatives or call a contractor to build a railing on 30 feet of deck. Nancy and I were all a miss, then Scott e-mailed and said he would go over that afternoon to build the railing for us. We mentioned to Scott we would pay for the wood and supplies. He said no payment needed, it would be on the house. Welcome to Rhinelander! Scott thanks so much for a wonderful buying experience and all the hard work in helping us find the lake house of our dreams!

Working with Scott at NorWis Realty was THE best experience I’ve ever had with any real estate agent. In fact, it was the best experience I’ve ever had with any sales or business transaction in my entire life. Scott and his staff at NorWis Realty are professional, trustworthy, and caring. I told Scott what I was looking for in a northwoods property. Unlike most real estate agencies who will try to sell anything (literally), Scott was extremely careful, thorough, and thoughtful. Whereas most real estate agents rush their clients into making quick decisions, Scott was consistently trying to slow me down to make sure that I knew I was making the best choices. For every ten properties I inquired about, Scott typically told me that nine of them were not what I would be happy with. This saved us both an incredible amount of time, and no doubt many headaches in the future. Every other realtor I’ve worked with showed me every property (even if it clearly did not meet my criteria) and tried laboriously to convince me that it was actually what I was looking for. Thankfully, Scott listens and matches up property with potential owners. Scott was also highly professional and patient working both with me and the seller. I have heard horror stories from friends about difficult dealings with sellers, bankers, and so forth. My situation was similar, but the difference was that Scott was helping me every step along the way. He did everything correctly the first time. He also helped me negotiate effectively and understand every step of the process.If you are looking for any kind of property, to buy or to sell, I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Scott and NorWis Realty. If I ever look to “upgrade” my current property, I will call Scott to help me sell my existing property and to look for my new one. Thank you, Scott, Lynn, and Jesse for making my family’s dream come true and finding a great place in the beautiful northwoods!

Dear Scott, We wanted to thank you for all of your help and expertise that you provided to us with the purchase of our vacation home outside Pickerel, WI. I think helping people to find a vacation property is much more challenging than locating a full-time residence. This is going to be your vacation home. The place you retreat to and go to relax. It needs to be as close to perfect as possible because vacation time is so precious. A realtor brave enough to take on this challenge has to have some special skills and qualities. There are three very important things that I believe are needed in a realtor, especially with the purchase of a vacation home; they are trust, communication, and a passion for the business. Trust is a difficult thing to establish with anyone, but is essential for a realtor-client relationship. You have to trust that your realtor will look out for your best interests, take the time to understand your housing needs, and find you the best value for your dollar. You need communication to establish trust. Your realtor needs to really listen to you to make sure he leads you to the best properties to meet your needs, not just make a sale. Being able to tell your realtor honestly,” this isn’t the property I am looking for” and likewise having him be hones t with you, such as “this place is pretty but the septic system isn’t to code and may need a few thousand in repairs,” is essential for finding the right property. A passion for the business wraps it all up. A realtor must know the market which he is selling, and must truly find joy in matching the right buyer with the right home. Based on your attention to detail, we knew you would be the right realtor for us. However, the unexpected bonuses of working with you were your native knowledge of the area, your patience, and your real passion for matching us with the right home. I truly felt that you wanted us to enjoy the northern counties of Wisconsin as much as you do. You went out of your way to give the citydwellers a whole education about septic systems, wells, and how to shut down a vacation home for the winter. You offered local knowledge from the best place to snowshoe to the most reputable furnace repair guy. But you never once made us feel silly for asking. Based on this very positive experience, we would recommend you to any family, friends or colleagues looking for property in Northern Wisconsin. You would also be the first person we would contact if we were ever to sell our new vacation home, but don’t you’re your breath on that one because we love it too much! Thanks for making a mid-life dream come true and helping us find our new getaway. We could not have done it without you or any other realtor.Fond Regards,Brad and Melinda U Madison, WI
