Great working with Jono.

Lance and the whole Riverwest team was great to work with. As a first time home buyer he helped me through each stage of the process providing great insight and knowledge about home ownership and real estate investing. He made the whole process seem easy and approachable.

David Ambuel

Buying a home in Milwaukee seemed like an overwhelming venture. But having Lance and his team help us through the process truly made it painless. Knowledgeable and intuitive, Lance knew exactly how to find us the perfect place. River west came highly recommended to us, and I can see why! We felt secure every step of the process. Would absolutely use again and recommend.

Gabriel Gipe

Jono put in a lot of work with us. He helped us navigate a through a seller backing out at the last minute, and then continuing on to help us with our eventual purchase. He met with us to tour many homes before we finally found the home we wanted. Thanks Jono!

Fred Glave

Jono helped us get into our first home with as much ease as possible.He was an excellent person to have in our corner and I cannot recommend him enough. See you next time, Jono!

Cory Thompson

Ralf Walter at Riverwest Realty is the best realtor we could’ve asked for. He’s super knowledgeable about many different areas of Milwaukee and helped us to find the perfect neighborhood for us as first time homebuyers. With his expertise he made the process of looking for and buying a house feel simple and stress free. I’d recommend him and this realty to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Rachel King

Outstanding service. Agents exceeded our expectations by going above and beyond expectations particulalry in selling our properties quickly. We give Riverwest Realty our highest recommendation.

Jeff B

Robyn Pawlak with Riverwest Realty Milwaukee helped me find and purchase my first home. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Would highly recommend!

Nathan Galbraith

Me and my wife are very grateful for Robyn helping us to buy a house in Wisconsin . She was always available to answer our questions, even late in the night . She’s was very prepared and anticipated our every next step which was very helpful. We highly recommend Robyn. Grateful to have met her!!

Ami Tartar

Robyn was very helpful throughout the home buying process. This was my first time buying a home, and she was able to answer any questions I had. Very friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable whenever I had any questions or concerns.

Nick Wicker

Worked with Mike Vieyra. I’d highly recommend his services. Mike was incredibly helpful as I was figuring out my first-time home buying experience. I had about a million questions, and of the few he couldn’t answer on the spot, he’d always get back to me with an answer within a day.

Brennan Long

Lance is amazing. I randomly called Riverwest Realty mid-pandemic after a divorce trying to sell an investment property from 1200 miles away. He went above and beyond taking on more work than he needed to.

Fast forward almost 3 years and I’m moving back to MKE. Lance was so great the first time around I called him straight away. He helped me find an amazing home in a beautiful neighborhood. Again, he was beyond great! His knowledge of the market and area are superior to other realtor’s I worked with prior to finding Lance back in 2020.

100% recommend him and his team at RW Realty!

Rachel Christen

Lance, the Lead Broker at Riverwest Realty skillfully exhibited confidence and knowledge in his field of real estate sales. He
showed an excellent knowledge base and respect for
his clients. My husband Curtis and I were pleased with his appropriate office management and people skills.

Maxine White

After a frustrating experience with another agent, Ralf and his team stepped in to save the day and get our property (which had been on the market for 6+ months) sold quickly and efficiently. Could not recommend them enough!!

Lauren Meeker

Had an awesome experience working with Ralf and Lance from Riverwest Realty. Extremely professional. We had our property listed for 6 months before working with the team at Riverwest and within a month of working with Riverwest Realty we had a buyer signed at a price we were happy with. Would highly recommend

Justin Meeker

Lance was incredibly helpful, patient, and transparent during the entire process and was able to help us find our first home! He was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. You can tell he cares about his clients, and what he does as well as understood our needs as we navigated the real estate world from the moment we walked into his office, to when he handed off the keys to our first home. Highly recommend working with Lance at Riverwest Realty to everyone!

Piper Robertson

Buying and selling houses is not an everyday exercise. Nor is it something most people know anything about. Then, thrown into one of each: first buying when prices were out of sight and then, selling after interest rates had soared made for a disturbing experience. I was selling a house I’d lived in and loved for almost 50 years so making the decision was not easy. My luck was finding an agent who not only helped me sell but did a lot of patient hand holding and explaining and being there whenever I needed him! You could not do better than having Mike Vieyra on your side and tending to your best interests to see you through a trying time! He saw to all the details and was always available with answers just when I needed them!

Edith Wagner

Mike at Riverwest Realty was great! He knew what we wanted, was responsive(and patient) and while looking knew what we were looking at, knows about the foundation, roof, heaters, water heaters- all the stuff a first time buyer needs a little guidance with. Its a complicated process and someone that knows the ins and outs of the financial side as well the nuts and bolts stuff was reassuring. There were definitely times when he was also the voice of reason, telling us to walk away when a place we liked needed too much- Riverwest was a great choice, we’d definitely go with Mike and them again.

Jonathan Blechman

Jono went above and beyond to provide me with a good buying experience. He had a list of referrals for every step of the way appraisal, inspector, loan officer, and many other reps that you will need along the way.

I would work with him again I’m glad I found my Milwaukee “plug”

Roland Luke

Let me start by saying what a great experience! I reside in California and I had two properties to sell in Wisconsin, read the great reviews and gave Riverwest Reality a call they did not disappoint. Lance got right back to me! I was so happy to get Lance because his name was in most of the great reviews. He got both properties sold quickly and efficiently, so very personable I’m going to miss talking to him he made me feel like a good friend. Definitely recommend.

Mimi Washington

Ralf was a great help!

Anthony Gonzalez

Mike was great! He made our first home buying experience go super smoothly! He was always very responsive and knowledgeable about searching for houses and the whole home buying process. Would highly recommend him for your new home search!

Bridget Coleman

I recently purchased a home through Riverwest Realty. The whole process was pleasant and anxiety free. Lance and his team were helpful in all ways. They listened to what I wanted and showed me homes based on those wants. I am truly thankful I walked into their office.

Shakirah Wilson

As first-time homeowners, we had no clue what we were doing. Fortunately, we worked with Ralf Walters at Riverwest Realty. We soon learned that Ralf is more than a real estate agent. He is a former property manager and a homeowner in the Riverwest neighborhood where we were looking to purchase a property. This collection of experiences made him the perfect agent.

He was transparent and responsive during each stage of the process. When we found properties we thought were compatible to our budget and needs, he quickly set up appointments that matched our schedules. And during the viewings, if we had questions or concerns, his extensive background allowed a unique perspective about the pros and cons of purchasing each home.

He guided us from our initial offer and into our closing, and he even setup some additional appointments with specialist inspectors that were needed in our unique home purchase.
We highly recommend Ralf to all first-time home buyers in the area. He is reliable, communicative, and has extensive knowledge of all aspects of real estate.

waylon smith

Ralf, is an amazing realtor… he truly went above and beyond to sell my father’s home. It sold so fast we were in shock. He helped every step of the way and even went above what a realtors job description is to help my elderly dad.

Elizabeth Rodriguez

My wife and I bought our first home in April 2022 in an extremely competitive market for homebuyers. We were a few months away from the birth of our first child and needed to find a good starter home in a relatively short time frame. Lance and the Riverwest Realty team were fantastic to work with and helped us go from square one to an accepted offer quickly. Lance’s communication was honest & open, he gave a realistic outlook on the market, helped us identify attractive neighborhoods in our price range, and ultimately helped us craft a creative and competitive offer to land a great home. I would definitely highly recommend Riverwest Realty. From the day we stopped in for an introductory meeting with Lance in their office, he was patient, informative, energetic, and made the home-buying process approachable as first timers.

Peter Browne

We happened to meet Mike at Riverwest Realty by chance when inquiring about a listing on a home listing site. I had spoken to a few other realtors with other realty offices prior, but Mike was most knowledgeable and cared about finding us a quality house that was right for us. During showings he wasn’t pushy and he’d let us know if he thought a house wasn’t worth our time based on visible issues, etc.. Another time Mike was out of town and had a colleague show us a house, who was also as knowledgeable and helpful as Mike. From my experience Riverwest Realty is a great office with realtors you can trust like Mike.

Mariah

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Lance! He is a breath of fresh air – transparent, responsive, and straight shooter. Consistently demonstrated that he was looking out for our best interests. Well informed on the market, and more importantly, willing to find answers to anything that wasn’t top of mind. His steady hand was very helpful when navigating a challenging market. Lance has my highest recommendation as a realtor and as a person.

Michael Van Hoorn

Lance Wooten at Riverwest Realty knows the housing stock history of the area, he is quick to find any answer and he is very adept at learning your wants and needs and finding your fit. He does not rush you on decisions, but he also understands and helps you navigate a really fast-moving and competitive market. He helped us find a house while we lived in another state, meeting us in person for some weekend tours and giving us virtual tours when we couldn’t get to town. He helped us find contractors and follows up to make sure you are loving your new place. I recommend him highly.

Kenneth Harris

Many people told me that buying a home–much less your first home–is one of the most stressful experiences of a lifetime. However, as a first time homebuyer, I was perfectly at ease with the team at Riverwest Realty. Lance, in particular, was happy to explain the entire process to me and helped me have realistic expectations. I bought the CUTEST house, which I loved living in for five years. When it was time to sell, I knew exactly who to call. The selling process was also super easy! Lance priced the place appropriately so it moved fast and I made more than my wildest dreams. Whenever people as me for a recommendation, I send them to Riverwest Realty. They are professional while also treating you like a friend.

Elizabeth Hoover

Mike was very friendly and helpful in my journey to being a first time homebuyer. He was great at finding locations that fit exactly what I was looking for and helping me to understand everything about the homebuying process. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking for a home.

Cassie Naze

Working with Mike Vieyra of Riverwest Realty was a delight!

My wife and I are first-time homebuyers and came to the process somewhat green. Over the course of our house hunt, Mike not only demonstrated a great deal of patience—showing us dozens of properties over the course of two months—but also the knowledge and insight he shared with us about the whole homebuying process was absolutely invaluable.

Justin DeVine

We had a great experience working with Lance and his team at Riverwest Reality. The whole process of selling our house and buying a new one was overwhelming. But, they were quick to respond to any of our questions and made the whole process very easy for us. They gave us a clear timeline of what we needed to do, connected us with the right people to get it done, and everything played out exactly how Lance told us it would. We will definitely use RR again and always refer our family and friends to do the same.

Graham Linscott

Amazing experience both selling and buying a new home! Lance and his team are so helpful and really nice. Highly recommend!

Amber Redemann

My wife and I worked with Lance for the purchase of our first house in 2018, and again in selling that same house in early 2021. After renting for the past year, we knew it was time to purchase our forever home. However, we severely underestimated what we were up against in 2022’s real estate market. Luckily, we had Lance Wooten in our corner. It took a few tries, but in the end Lance helped us purchase a gorgeous bungalow in Wauwatosa. We truly believe if we had been working with a different realtor, there is a good chance we would still be renting instead of writing a review thanking Lance for all of his hard work.

You would be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated, knowledgeable, and all-around good guy to work with whether you’re buying or selling. 14/10 recommend Lance and his team at Riverwest Realty.

Ryan Ankenbrandt

Simply excellent on every possible level – start to finish! From fast and clear communication, understanding our needs and what we are looking for, great advice and positive attitude to dealing with all the details in the most professional and efficient way!
Thank you, Lance for being such a fantastic person!

Katya Kaminska

I’ve worked with Lance on multiple transactions and he always does an outstanding job. On the most recent property I sold he was able to get 20k over listing. I would recommend Lance to anyone looking to buy or sell their house!

Dan Otto

I had a great experience with Riverwest Realty. I worked with Mike and he was incredibly responsive and kept me updated on every part of the process. Highly recommend this group to anyone looking for a home in Milwaukee.

Kelsey DiPietro

Lance was more than helpful in buying my first home. He was extremely honest, upfront, and was able to help me navigate the process of buying a condo. He was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of my questions at all times.

J Schmitt

Lance and his team did a really great job for us in selling our home in Shorewood. They handled all the staging, got multiple offers over asking price and got us a quick and easy closing. I plan on using them to sell some of our other investment properties.

Todd Hutchison

First let me say that I was a realtor so I know what to expect from one.
It was such a pleasure working with Mike Vierya throughout the whole process of property searching even when I was not in town to physically view homes but long distance from my place in Las Vegas, NV. Mike was diligent in promptly responding to my emails, texts and phone calls from our different time zones.
I highly recommend working with Mike if you want a realtor who truly has his client’s best interest at the forefront of your transaction. You will be kept informed every step of the way.
Trust me, you won’t be disappointed with the exceptional level of service he consistently provides. Mike Vierya is an outstanding professional realtor! I’m definitely going to use Mike for future real estate transactions.

Ann Marie Morales

Recently worked with Ralf at Riverwest Realty. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful to us first-time homebuyers trying to navigate a very tough housing market.

Alexander Peterson

My experience today with Lance was positive & professional.
I would recommend him in the future!

Jon Kraemer

We worked with Mike Vieyra! We could not have asked for a better buyers agent. This was our first time buying a house and the market is so crazy right now it can be frustrating but Mike walked us through every step of the process and made it seem easy. He was VERY responsive, easy to talk to and knowledgeable. If he didn’t know an answer he found it. He went above and beyond in every aspect of his job and we could not recommend him enough. If you’re looking for an agent, trust me, he’s the one! Thanks again Mike! We love our new home!

Cassidie Chinavare

Honest, friendly, professional people. Best home selling experience you could ask for, hands down. Lance and his team were the perfect agents and the transaction went as smoothly as could be imagined. Almost makes me wish I had more homes to sell in the area. Cheers, and thanks for the fantastic service!

Huckleberry Monteabaro

Lance was an awesome agent. He really knew the local area and helped me find a great home. The service was amazing and he really listened to what we wanted. He always kept us updated, which took away our stress and anxiety about finding our dream house. I’d recommend this company to anyone! Thank you!

Migdalia Gonzalez

Lance was obviously very knowledgeable and helped make our buying process smooth. Glad we chose Riverwest realty!

Jonathan Piva

Lance and his team at Riverwest Realty were great to work with as I bought and sold my first house over the last few years. Lance kept everything simple and really went above and beyond to help sell my house. He brought a buyer in on the first day and got my house sold faster than I could have hoped for. If you’re buying or selling in Riverwest I can’t recommend Lance and Riverwest Realty enough.

Jack Comiskey

I had a great experience working with Riverwest Realty, and specifically Mike Vieyra. Mike is personable, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about all steps of the process. It was my first time purchasing a home, and Mike took the time to make sure I understood everything completely, gave me advice/tips, and was a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

Chet Peterson

Over the course of 8 years, I’ve now both bought and sold a Riverwest home with Riverwest Realty. I appreciate the company’s enthusiasm for the neighborhood. I’ve always received straight talk and good advice from Lance. I heartily recommend him and his team.

Brandy Kline

Ralf Walter is so great to work with! He was so helpful, knowledgeable and patient in helping us find our dream home! He always prioritized what was important to us in a home in a supportive and professional manner. We really enjoyed our home searching with him, and are 100% happy in our new home because of him!

M. Germain

Mike was excellent to work with. I’m an out of state investor and I came across Mike by doing a quick Google search of top rated real estate agents in the area. I sent a blind email through River West Realty’s web site and Mike responded. It was my first contact with an agent in Milwaukee (I had been looking in other states as well) but Mike was easy to work with and on the same page as me. He made buying a property out of state as easy as I could hope for. His communication was excellent and his willingness to work with me was amazing. If I buy another property in the area, I will definitely go to Mike directly. Thanks for your help!

David Romo

Lance is professional, methodic, transparent and quite the strategist. After Lance met us at our house, he did his homework and met for consultation of where he felt our house fit in the market and his plan to get the most eyes on house. His strategy for our house gave us the confidence he was looking out for our best interest, he was straight forward on his options. You can tell that he really enjoys the process of selling home. When it came to getting offers, he worked the offers and was able to get us a great deal. Even through the inspection amendment process he was able to work the deal to meet our goals. He was reassuring even when our nervousness was getting the best of us. He is quick to respond to text, calls or emails, even after the sell was complete and I had something come up he was quick to help. If you’re thinking of selling, do yourself a favor and call Lance, you will not regret it.

Rocky Spinelli

We couldn’t have been happier with the representation we received from Riverwest Realty when we sold our house. We had met with Lance a year in advance to get an idea about the possible market value and to ask about what we might want to do to put our house in the best shape for selling. We didn’t know when we might want to sell and Lance was quite happy to meet with us well in advance of selling without him pressuring us at all to do it immediately. When we had a question whether or not to replace something in the meantime he was very happy to give us his professional advice. He sent a photographer to take photos of our place once we decided to move and his support staff was great. He always answered our calls personally when we called him. We trusted him about the timing of listing our house just right before seeking appointments for showings. He was able to anticipate just when the house would sell. He priced the house just right, in my opinion, to ultimately get the best price in the market. We got more than we asked for.

Eleanor Harris

I had a great experience with RWR. Lance had the right connections to sell my house quickly. Very nice people involved, and everything went smoothly.

Barbara Berg

I had initially worked with another broker from a different realty company to list my house. After 3 months with no offers and not the best communication I contacted Lance at Riverwest Realty to list my house. At our very first meeting I could see he was passionate about his job. He had some great ideas on how to make the house more marketable. His focus was to sell the house and soon after contracting with him I had an offer above the asking price. He was always available to answer any questions I had and was very responsive to my emails. From my experience I can definitely recommend Lance and would contract with him again should I be in the market to purchase or sell another house.

Dennis Felber

I worked with Lance who knows the neighborhood and purchase process well. He was always professional and responsive to my questions. If I were buying/selling in the Riverwest neighborhood again, I would hire Lance.

Donald Cramer

After posting my house for sale with a realestate company for 2 months and receiving only one low offer, I switched to Riverwest Realty and within a week I had 7 offers for way more than I was asking for.

Tina Garcia

Highly recommend using Riverwest Realty for your next home purchase or listing. Our realtor Ralf was great and helped us find our first home! He listened to our needs and provided a lot of feedback and resources for us to utilize. His strong communication skills and relationships with the community were key attributes to our purchase. We will be going to Ralf for all out future purchases!

Jenny Murphy

I needed to sell my house quickly after moving across the country. Lance handled all of the details, including finding and supervising contractors to fix deficiencies found in the inspection. He was professional throughout the process and kept me apprised of all of the activities of showing and the eventual sale of the house. I recommend him highly.

Nicholas Ruppert

As first-time homebuyers, our experience with Riverwest Realty was excellent. Our agent, Ralf, guided us through the entire process from the initial house hunt to closing. He was very friendly and professional throughout and was able to answer every question we had. His responses were timely and his communication couldn’t be better, with availability for in person meet ups, phone calls, email, and texting. There were a number of times where he went above and beyond and we feel lucky to have gotten such a great agent. I would definitely recommended this agency to others and would use their services again in the future. Thanks Ralf and Riverwest Realty for being so awesome!

P.S. This is a genuine review. We did not know anyone who works at the company before contacting them for their services. We are just that impressed!

Benjamin Moran

When I was interested in finding a realtor to help us sell our rental property in Milwaukee, I came across Lance at Riverwest Realty quite by accident… but boy, am I glad! He was intimately familiar with our particular property (from years before) and he is extremely knowledgeable about the market in general and the Riverwest area in particular, and he gave us guidance on what improvements would give us the best bang for our investment buck.
Anytime I had a question or concern, he was extremely quick to respond. I would recommend Riverwest Realty for anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in the area. You really won’t find a better realtor… especially someone who will help make the process so easy.

Tom Ryan

Lance the realtor is great to work with.

Allen B

Lance did an amazing job marketing and promoting our house, and he and his staff made every part of selling our house as easy and stress free as possible. He really is an expert in Riverwest Real-estate and I was really impressed with his knowledge. Communication with him was easy and he always responded in 15 minutes or less. If I ever want to move back to the area I won’t hesitate to use Riverwest Realty!

Andrea Bregman

Lance was a fantastic realtor. Since this was a cross-country move for us, we had to do a lot of things virtually. Lance was very accommodating with that and went the extra mile to calm our anxiety about the process. He was very responsive and prompt with answers to our many questions. He’s knowledgeable about the area and had great insight into what would make our offer stand out in a competitive market. He also worked hard to make sure we were taken care of. We’re hoping we’ve found a place we’ll be in for a long time, but if we do need a realtor again in the future, Lance will be our first call.

Nathan Garvin

Lance and his team at Riverwest Realty exceeded our expectations for an agent. They were always helpful, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile in our home search. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Jason Perkiser

Ralf was awesome to work with and helped us find a great house! Highly recommended.

Steph Barnard

Ralf was our realtor and he was FANTASTIC, I highly recommend people personally request him to help find their home. My husband and I were first time home buyers and both veterans and he had experience and knowledge to help us find the home we were looking for. He was super flexible with his time and always kept an open mind when we changed our mind on the styles and locations of homes. We never felt pressured or left in the dark regarding the process of buying our home. He always updated us immediately when finding out any information once we started to close on a home. He knew of the areas extremely well as we were very new to the state of Wisconsin. This was a first time experience for us and he made it a better experience than we could have ever asked for. Thanks again for all your help Ralf!!!

Rhiannon Siebenaler

We had the pleasure of working with Ralf Walter as our realtor. He was so helpful as we were first time home buyers, always offering advice and his knowledge on what to look for and how we could really make our home ours. He was very easy to talk to and always got us out right away to look at the houses that interested us. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional with a great sense of humor Ralf is your guy!

Haley Martin

Lance and his team knew exactly how to list our home to get the right buyer. I wouldn’t change a thing about listing with Riverwest Reality. Happy seller…and what I could gather from the new owners…very happy buyers : )

Elizabeth Brunner

Lance is awesome! He always has his customers best interest in mind and is extremely helpful. I’ve worked with Lance both as a lender and as a seller and I recommend him across the board. Our transactions are always smooth and he’s an expert in the market!

Sean Reilly

Lance at Riverwest did a great job of selling my property without it even hitting the market. The property was in need of some work but he found a buyer that saw value and made it happen with the return I needed. Great experience and would use him again anytime.

Adam Allan

As a nervous first time home owner, I cannot express how amazing it was to work with Ralf Walter. After seeing our first house, I could tell he knew exactly what I was looking for and helped in every way to make it happen. He’s wonderfully personable and fun to work with, and efficient! He went above and beyond to make a process that can be quite daunting as smooth as possible. He’s the best!

Alma Wolfe

I had the opportunity to work with Ralf Walter and the experience was excellent! With the time constraint of having to find a new home in 90 days he worked dilligently to ensure it happened for our family. He was very responsive and knowledgeable along with great communication about the home buying process.

Asil Nire

I had the pleasure of working with Ralf Walter, and as a first time home buyer I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. He was knowledgeable, responsive, on time, and easy going. Ralf was always quick to share his knowledge and advice and helped us find a great home in the neighborhood we were looking for. As a Milwaukee native I appreciated having someone who also grew up in the city help me through the home-buying process.

Israel Flores

Ralf was fantastic – he was super responsive and even made time in his schedule for us to visit the house last-minute. Next time we’re in the market for a home (who knows when, a decade or two?) we will definitely choose Riverwest Realty!!

Tom Gonzalez

Lance was accommodating and responsive to all my questions as a first time buyer. His experience and advice helped me secure the home I wanted quickly, even in the current sellers market. Everyone I knew told me buying a home would be a painful process, but this was the exact opposite!

Maxwell Emmet

We could not have found a better realtor! We were recommended Riverwest Realty by multiple family and friends and they did not disappoint. Lance and his team were awesome to work with. His experience buying and selling homes in the area was invaluable to us. As first time buyers he walked us through all the steps comfortably without being pushy or making us feel like we needed to buy quick. Any questions we had he was quick to answer and he is a wealth of knowledge. We were definitely intimidated by the home buying process but felt incredibly lucky to have worked with Riverwest Realty to guide us though the process. Can’t wait to work with them again!

Emily DePalma Mance

I would recommend Lance Wooten and Riverwest Realty to anyone looking to buy. As first-time homebuyers, we were unsure about a lot of the process. Lance was very responsive and provided quick and informative answers to all of our questions. He offered us honest opinions when we asked and let us reach decisions without feeling any pressure. He was a great fit for us personally, allowing us to move at a pace we were comfortable with, and made an intimidating process feel easier and smoother than we anticipated. Even months after closing, Lance has stayed in contact, making sure to help us tie up a couple of loose ends that would have otherwise fallen through the cracks after the closing process.

Kerra Stumbris

Lance and Ralf were so helpful in the purchase of my home! They are very knowledgeable about real estate, the Riverwest neighborhood, as well as the nuances of an older home. I appreciate how they support local businesses and highlight the neighborhood in all they do! I highly recommend Riverwest Realty for a locally owned and all-around high quality experience!

Linda Wesp

Great experience both selling a house with Lance and buying one! Always super responsive, detail oriented, and has a wealth of knowledge of the market, the city, and affordable trustworthy companies from foundation specialists to loan officers. Always with great recommendations. Did a wonderful job walking me through the process step by step and getting the results I was looking for. I fully trust Riverwest Realty.

Liat Mayer

Lance worked tirelessly to help my wife and I find a house that was perfect for our needs. Not an easy feat considering the differences in what my Wife wanted vs what I wanted…but he was extremely patient with us and went to many different house showings with us. He was very objective with his knowledge of old homes and we never once felt pressured to pull the trigger on a house we weren’t both 100% sure about. I can’t recommend his team enough.

Kelly Danen

We moved from Texas to Milwaukee and Lance at Riverwest Realty made this whole process smooth and seamless. He was very responsive to any questions we had and made us feel taken care of throughout this stressful process. Not only was Lance honest and real, it felt like he got a good feel for who we were and guided us to a house that felt like “our” home. I would definitely recommend Lance and the team at Riverwest Realty to anyone looking for trustworthy realtors in the Milwaukee area.

David Dasilva

Lance is great! He understood what I was looking for and proactively sent me properties that he knew I would like (including the one I purchased) and was able to get me in as one of the first showings at each property. He also offered very valuable insight during showings and from his discussions with sellers’ agents, and helped me walk through a very competitive bidding process. He has worked with others in my family, and I would highly recommend Riverwest Realty for anyone looking for houses anywhere in Milwaukee.

Elizabeth Pyne

I worked with Lance Wooten for the sale of my first house. From our first meeting through the closing date, he was professional, honest, super responsive, and just a fun and down-to-Earth guy to work with. His knowledge of the local market was indispensable for a first-time seller like me. He helped me navigate important decisions without being too pushy, giving me the input I needed to make informed decisions. Plus, his photographer took great high-quality pictures of my house and I think that was an important factor in how fast it sold. Furthermore, Lance has a great reputation in the community – outside of his business acumen, he’s just a solid person! I highly recommend Riverwest Realty!

Amber Ascher

If you know the area you want to purchase in or sell your home in, there will be an expert in that area. In my opinion Lance Wooton is definitely the expert in Riverwest, I Immediately felt his passion. To be honest it didn’t hurt that there was an offer on the property in less than 48 hours after it was listed. Lance definitely knows his market… There were a couple of unforeseen hiccups along the way but Lance and Riverwest Realty did a great job throughout the entire process. Always professional and responsive. Without reservations I would recommend Lance Wooton and Riverwest Realty.

Gail Franco

Great experience working with them, highly recommend. Lance was always available to answer any questions I had. He walked me through the entire process and had a ton of useful insight into the Milwaukee market. If you’re looking to buy or sell, go with this group. They’re fair, honest, and upfront.

Kevin H

Lance is a pro. Very responsive and will work diligently on your behalf to get your deal across the finish line.

Chadwick Keller

Lance was extremely helpful to me in both buying and selling my duplex. He walked me through all of the steps and costs right away and was always available to answers any questions. Lance leveraged his extensive network to coordinate a number of fixes around the property prior to selling. With Lance’s help, I was able to sell my duplex quickly and painlessly. I would recommend Lance to anyone selling/buying a property.

Arthur Mueller

I couldn’t have been luckier to have had Lance as my realtor. He is incredibly down to earth and inspired absolute trust and confidence throughout the process. He has a way of making the process fun and easy, which is always appreciated as home buying is stressful enough as is! He was patient and supportive while I asked all the first time home buying questions, and later, during a difficult period of negotiations, he worked tirelessly to find a solution, which he did! Can’t thank him enough and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying a home/property.

Zach Schley

I would highly recommend working with Lance at Riverwest Realty! My husband and I were first time home buyers and weren’t sure where to begin. Lance made the entire process easy, he gave us excellent advice when looking at homes, and helped guide us through the process of purchasing once we made an offer! Lance was very flexible in his schedule of meeting with us and showing us homes, which was great with my hectic work schedule. He was also very quick to respond to emails/texts and easy to communicate with throughout the entire home buying process.
I can’t say enough good things about our experience! If you’re looking to buy or sell a home I’d recommend working with Lance!

Adria Klucarich

Lance is a very knowledgeable realtor. As a first time seller, he walked me through the process and was very responsive to any and all questions I had. He wasn’t sure how showings and selling would work as I listed at the beginning of the stay at home order in Wisconsin during COVID-19. However, we listed on a Saturday and by that night, we had 10 showings scheduled for the next day. Lucky for me, I had 7 offers by the end of the second day on the market! Lance was confident throughout the whole process, even when the buyers had a slight hiccup with financing. This definitely kept me at ease. I’d recommend Lance to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Jennifer Wuest

Lance was a pleasure to work with; informative, reliable, helpful, and quick to respond to any question. His experience really shows; he knows the area and knows the right people to talk to for any situation. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Thanks Riverwest Realty!

Kent Nuttycombe

Lance is very professional and knowledgeable realtor. He responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had along the way with the kind of knowledge that comes from a lot of experience. He always guided me in the right direction, and had really good ideas on how to prepare my house to get the best price. My experience is that he really thinks things out thoroughly and is a good communicator. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to sell or buy a house!

Sylvie Horvath

Lance (Riverwest Realty) was absolutely fantastic to work with! He & his team helped us sell our condo and purchase our new home. Our condo sold incredibly fast due to their sound selling strategy and quick response times. I didn’t know selling could be that painless.

He was also extremely helpful & patient with us through the entire buying experience. We didn’t really know what we were looking for so he was able to help us narrow our search to something more manageable. In addition, he offered guidance based on the conditions of each home.

We would definitely work with Riverwest Realty again for future buying and selling needs. Highly recommend.

Ricky Hartle

As a first time home buyer, I needed a lot of help throughout the process. Lance was always available, friendly, and knowledgeable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Trevor Nettles

I really enjoyed working with Lance while searching for a home. He helped me get through a frustrating buying process for a Milwaukee duplex by helping me navigate low down payment loan options, escrow repairs, lead paint abatement and many other hurdles. He gave me helpful tips along the way and talked me through his own experiences.
Eventually with Lance’s help I was able to close the deal and couldn’t be happier with the home. I would 100% recommend Riverwest Realty to anyone looking for a house in the Milwaukee area.

Joseph Niesen

Lance was extremely helpful to me in selling my condo. He walked me through all of the steps and costs right away and was always available to answers any questions I might I had. I had to fix some stuff at my condo and I was out of town so Lance organized a plumber to come and he went over to let the plumber in, making my life 100x easier. I was able to sell my condo quickly and painlessly. I would recommend Lance to anyone selling/buying a property!

Alex Christiansen

Lance did a phenomenal job getting the property up for sale! Got an offer the first day of listing!! Totally a FIRST CLASS realtor!!

Jeff Hoffman

Lance is the hardest working and most creative realtor in the business! Completed two transactions with Lance in 2019 and couldn’t be happier with Lance and his team at Riverwest Realty.

Nick Wellenstein

Lance did an amazing job helping me find a house. I definitely ran him around a bit with my nitpicking and he paid attention to every detail. He helped me stay within my budget while also hitting the major items on my checklist.

Results speak for themselves but Lance was also a pleasure to work with. Friendly, professional, and accessible. Where I lacked knowledge he connected me to the right people. Even now that I’m fully moved in he continues to provide support as I get to know my first house.

5 stars, no question.

David Breen

I don’t often take the time to review businesses online, though I do often look at other’s reviews when choosing to do business…it’s time to do my part.

In October, 2018, my wife and I decided and followed through on closing our Property Management business, which included selling 5 multi-family properties (one of which was a duplex we lived in, and acted as our office and warehouse) and also to purchase a new home (6 properties in total). This was all completed in September 2019, under a year, with all of the actual sales closing in a 6 month timeframe.

Prior to getting started, Lance listened to our concerns that this process would take too long, and also that it could move too quickly due to my travel schedule for working a second job; helped us walk through a plan of orderly putting each on the market based on a range of criteria; asked probing questions into our exit strategy; and set realistic pricing … because not only were we closing our business, but we were also leaving our home of 18 years.

I found Lance Wooten of Riverwest Reality to be great to work with, easy to communicate with, and responsive when the process of selling and buying real estate became stressful for me and my wife, and more importantly, able to have transparent conversations to help us stay on track to meet our goals. I highly recommend him

Laa Kaiser

I enjoyed working with Lance. He not only took the time to show me many properties, but educated me on the area as we went and provided insight into upcoming listings and possibilities. My wife and I ended up purchasing a classic old Milwaukee two-flat in River West neighborhood and the transition could not have gone more smoothly with Lance helping us find a mortgage broker, and looking after every detail of move out and leasing. Altogether a positive experience.

Erik Blome

Professional, Prompt, Patient and Friendly . . . All words to describe Lance! As a first time home buyer I could not have asked for a better experience. I had a million and one questions. If Lance didn’t know the answer he found the answer . . and fast. A true expert in his field, I would recommend Lance and Riverwest Realty to anyone!

Anna Molinaro

It was great working with Lance! He’s professional, responsive and knows the market. I was an out of town buyer and Lance made things so easy all the way through closing. I would highly recommend Lance and Riverwest Realty. I hope to work with them again soon.

Jay Pawlak

Lance was true professional as he was able to sell our house in Harambee expediently. It was our first time selling a house so his expertise in the market and resources to prepare our house for selling and inspection was appreciated. He was quick to answer our questions and communicated with us clearly and expediently. His passion and enthusiasm for his work and people was exemplary.

Bart Gurgel

Lance and his team were awesome to work with. We bought our house with the help of Riverwest Realty about 2 years ago in Wauwatosa and the experience was pretty much seamless. We made a number of updates to the house and sold it just recently, listing with Riverwest Realty this time – so I’ve had the unique pleasure of working with Lance on both sides of the realty game. We weren’t sure what to list for or when to put it on the market, but Lance and his team were more than helpful and their expertise really showed. They came up with a plan, executed it flawlessly, and we sold the house for over asking and in less than 24 hrs of officially being on the market. I realize this might not happen for everyone, but I can’t express how thrilled we are with the outcome of our work with Riverwest. Much thanks to Lance and his team! Again – I’d recommend working with Riverwest to anyone.

Stefan Jedlicka

Lance is the best. His knowledge of the area kept us on track. We found the property we were looking for quickly and efficiently. His expertise was invaluable in the negotiation process. His connection to trades people helped us through the inspection process and got us started on the right foot as first time landlords. He will be our first call when we are ready for property number two.

Mark Schwetschenau

Lance helped us find a beautiful home in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. He was always available to answer questions, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market in Milwaukee. I don’t think we would have successfully closed on our home if we hadn’t chosen Riverwest Realty. If you are looking for a home in Riverwest, you should definitely go with Lance of Riverwest Realty!

David Livingston

I had a great experience working with Lance and his team at Riverwest Realty. Lance was very knowledgeable and provided me with the information and guidance I needed to make the sale of my home go smoothly. He was easy to work with and kept me informed with all developments throughout the process. Thanks Lance!

Tim Rentsak

Lance is an absolute pleasure to work with! Knowledgeable, professional, detail oriented and also a genuinely nice guy. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor- he was extremely patient and accommodating when finding us our perfect property. Lance is also a wealth of knowledge about the local area and referred us to a number of very helpful professionals including inspectors and legal aid, which were invaluable. He also has a friendly and experienced staff that provides excellent service. I recommend Lance to everyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Milwaukee area.

Anna Fortune

Lance was incredibly knowledgable about homes in the Milwaukee area. He communicated with me directly, and was a valuable resource in my home buying experience.

Eric Townsend

Lance is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. On top of being incredibly responsive via email and phone communication, he was encouraging, honest and got the job done. From start to finish, he made sure it was a smooth, stress-free process and that I understood what was happening and why.

Anne Bohl

RW Realty present a quality home buying experience from start to finish. Lance really care about not only getting a great deal for his clients but making the process enjoyable and as stress free as possible. We were lucky to find RW Realty for our first home purchase and closed 5 weeks after our offer. Lance made learning the ropes for first time house buying a breeze. Highly recommended.

Michael Strong

I was very pleased with my experience with Lance. Selling a home from out of state presents unique challenges, but Lance was very proactive and always on top of things. It generally took him less than 24 hours to answer any correspondence . He was patient to answer all my questions, and helped me have confidence in my decisions. The whole process ran smoothly and quickly. I would definitely recommend Lance to anyone wanting to sell real estate.

Karen Crosby

Lance is knowledgeable, friendly, and always on call. He sold a house for us in Riverwest – his area of expertise – and helped us find our dream home in another part of Milwaukee. He deftly negotiated on both the sell and buy side and helped us navigate the concurrent closing process. One other great thing – you can tell that Lance loves houses! He notices the details that matter. He also has built up a network of contacts – contractors, mortgage agents, etc – that are invaluable. Would recommend to anyone but especially to those looking to buy or sell in the Riverwest neighborhood.

Thomas Gibes

Working with Lance was an all-around pleasure. I knew what I wanted going into the home-buying process, so Lance was able to quickly guide me through the steps to get there. As an investor himself, Lance pointed out tips and tricks that will undoubtedly help me into the future. At times the information provided was not as thorough as I would’ve liked, but it was a smooth process overall, and I expect to continue to work with Lance into the future!

Alex Whittow

I highly recommend working with Lance and Riverwest Realty. Lance helped me sell a house quickly, efficiently and for a great price. Working with him now as a buyer has been just as great. He quickly addresses all my questions, he’s easy to work with, and he shares his knowledge with me so that I’m well-equipped to make good decisions in this process. He’s a gem!

Amy Olen

Lance is a Super Realtor..Very friendly and clear..Genuinely a Good guy

Myra Longaker

Lance was very professional and helped us to find our dream property! He really took time to get to know us, what we wanted out of a home and our lifestyle. Lance was very easy to work with and didn’t push or rush us into making any decisions. He has a wealth of knowledge surrounding home construction and maintenance and helped us to better understand what would be involved in purchasing an older home and what to expect with repairs and estimated costs and difficulty.

Andrew Zahn & Amber Richardson
 

My husband and I first contacted Lance when were interested in a home he had listed. We were just starting to look and had been in touch with a few realtors, but Lance immediately stood out. First, the house we were initially interested in just wasn’t actually going to work for our needs. Not only did Lance recognize that, but then he took the time to explain what a buyers relator can do and offered to help us out. Lance gets to know the neighborhoods well, and if he isn’t that familiar in a specific area, he does his research. Not only is he familiar with the process of buying/selling homes, but he also knows houses themselves. He was very quick with this responses – usually an immediate answer, but I think it was usually within hours at the most. We were also impressed with his ability to predict the way negotiations were going to go. We had a very difficult closing, (appraisal coming up short, lender pushing back dates, student loans delaying things, etc.), but Lance remained ready, willing, and able to assist us every step of the way.

Lisa Procaccio
 

Lance helped us considerably with the process of purchasing a home. His knowledge and guidance prepared us for the various pitfalls and removed any surprises in the process. For the insight into *how* you buy a home, Lance is phenomenal. He also provided a lot of local background knowledge for the Riverwest and surrounding neighborhoods. He informed us about the BID and the various benefits we would receive on it’s account as well as the general composition of the neighborhood. Overall, Lance was an invaluable asset in helping us find our perfect home in Riverwest.

Karl Foster
 

Lance did a terrific job compiling different styles of homes in the area and price range that i was looking for. He also had a lot of knowledge of the homes that I was looking at, whether it was tips about work that needed or had been done. All and all it was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely work with Lance again.

Josh Swart
 

This was my first time buying a house and to be honest, I was a little weary of realtors because I’ve heard they’re just out for themselves but I got lucky on my first go around by finding Lance. He is a straight shooter who will help you anyway he can and spend a good amount of his time doing so. He is knowledgeable and actually cares about what you are looking for, he didn’t once try to push a property that he knew I wouldn’t like. I know I’ll be using him as my realtor in the future if I ever need to buy another house.

Michael Rice
 

As a first time home buyer (and wanting a fixer-upper) I appreciated all of Lance’s expertise. Lance was wonderful in helping me find my first duplex. It was a fun adventure looking at properties and Lance was helpful through the whole process. He responded quickly to phone calls and emails and answered all my questions. I would recommend Lance!

Kate Neimer
 

My wife and I enjoyed getting to know Lance through our home buying experience and would highly recommend working with him. He has a great personality and he takes the time to get to know his clients. His knowledge level of the real estate industry was impressive and seeing this was our first home buying experience we had a lot of questions and he had the answers. From the start, Lance was quick to go above and beyond. If I needed to reach him I knew I could always get a hold of him. Throughout the process, we exchanged many emails, texts, calls late into the evening and past normal business hours because it is obvious he cares about his clients. I can honestly say Lance had our best interest in mind when selecting the right home for us and negotiating on our behalf. He is a honest hardworking guy and was a pleasure to work with. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I would look no further, Lance will take care of you!

Michael Strenger
 

Lance sold our home of 43 years in less than 2 weeks. He told us what kind of price we can expect to sell it for and he was right on the money. He even helped us sell items since we had a lot of downsizing to do. He was more than just a realtor to us, he really cared, he was always in contact with us and explained every step of the process. When my husband got sick and was unable to be at the closing he also took care of that. Lance also went so far as to mow our lawn, I would recommend him to anyone, we were so lucky to have him. He always conducted himself in a professional manner. We were so grateful to have found him. Doug & Christa Grenda

Lance Wooten made the home selling experience seamless. Lance was available to speak with me no matter what time I called. Lance was always calm and confident which put me at ease. Lance was caring, understanding and in my situation a miracle worker. The Best!

Cyndi Fischer
 

Lance is more person than presentation, so whatever your needs are, he is always on the right personal level to work with you. Straight forward and honest, often hard to find in a realtor.

Thomas Blair
 

I was a first-time homebuyer, and I was initially very apprehensive about the process of buying a home. However, having Lance as our agent made the process much less intimidating. When we met Lance, we knew immediately that we had stumbled onto a knowledgable person we could trust. He understood the VA home loan process well, and explained everything very clearly to me. I travel frequently, and we trusted Lance to look at homes on our behalf and report back about their condition, location, etc. He was readily available to answer all our questions, whether we were home or abroad. Ultimately, we chose a house and made an offer from abroad, sight unseen, trusting his judgment. And we were absolutely right to do so. He even managed to negotiate to get us money back at closing. We knew nothing about buying a home. So, we simply trusted Lance to take care of us. And he did. We couldn’t be happier. I would recommend him to any friend. Lance is a good guy and a great real estate agent.

Noelle Brigden
 

As a first time home buyer, I was really glad to have Lance working with me through the experience. He has a ton of knowledge on the various style homes in the Milwaukee area and a grasp on the market overall. I had a laundry list of things I was looking for in my first home and Lance was very patient in helping me find something that met all my criteria. He was also very flexible with his schedule which helped when trying to schedule showings on the weekends. I would highly recommend Lance of Riverwest Realty to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in Milwaukee. He is a genuine person and it was great getting to know him!

Dianna Deltorto
 

Kathleen is one of the best real estate agents I have ever had the pleasure to work with! I trust her fully, so when it came to choosing an agent for my purchase I didn’t have to think long. She has loads of integrity, knowledge, and expertise. She is super quick to respond to and even anticipate needs. What are you waiting for?! Call her now!!

Cole Heinrich
 

Kathleen is the best! She is very quick to pick-up on what you are looking for in a house and will steer you in the right direction. She has great taste and, being an owner of properties herself, has the ability to see potential for smart renovation, as well as hidden pitfalls and red flags. She is also great at facilitating paperwork and translating complicated legal issues to those of us that don’t speak legalese.

Ray Chi
 

Kathleen was exactly what we needed in a real estate agent as first time home buyers, walking us through the process and answering our questions honestly and thoughtfully. She was always friendly and responsive, and her enthusiasm for helping people find the right home was evident. She listened and understood what we were looking for and helped us find a great house in a great neighborhood!

Noah Perkins
 

Kathleen was so helpful and a joy to work with for my partner and me. We were looking for our first home for about 3 months and looked at probably 10 or more houses before finding the perfect one – and Kathleen was patient and passionate the whole time. We constantly had questions for her and she was happy to answer all of them with glee. She’s super knowledgeable about everything from deferred maintenance on a home to the mortgage shopping process – and she helped us understand everything way better. As first time home-buyers, we were pretty terrified with the whole process, but the more we worked with Kathleen, the more comfortable we became and now we feel like pros! I’d highly recommend working with her!

Issac Shermaniac
 

When we decided to move with no advanced planning, Kathleen stepped up to the challenge. She took charge, and exceeded our expectations with her recommendations, contacts, savvy analysis, and energetic efficiency. We trust and highly recommend Kathleen.

Valerie Sichikrygsman
 

[Kathleen] is a terrific realtor-totally on top of things-and made buying and selling easy (we have worked with her multiple times) She literally found our dream home, so it goes to say she knows her clients. Very highly recommended! She rocks.

Thad Kellstadt
 

We’ve had a great experience with Riverwest Realty, specifically Lance. From first contact to closing, Lance was patient, professional and a pleasure to work with. He explained the home-buying process and the local market to us (newbies) in a way that made us feel smart. He learned what we were looking for – beyond just the parameters on paper – by really listening to us and taking us seriously. He answered any and all questions so consistently and completely that we often felt that we must be his only clients (which we certainly were not!). In the end, he and his staff found exactly what we were looking for, something we probably wouldn’t have found ourselves. Thanks Lance and Riverwest Realty!

Kathleen Klassen made my dream happen, my dream of having my own home. If it wasn’t for her I would be probably still just dreaming. Half a year ago or more I started looking for a house but I couldn’t find anything and I dealt with an agent who wasn’t really interested in helping me. Then I found Kathleen and from the beginning she seemed very excited about helping me to find a house and she kept me updated with all the new listings I may like. I didn’t know what I want and I had little idea where I wanted the house to be. Kathleen provided me with the information about various areas of Milwaukee as I was new to the city. She taught me many interesting things about history and architecture of a given area. She pointed me towards the right direction and quickly figured out what I may like. She found my house for me and made a video of it for me as I couldn’t see it at the time ( I was out of the town). And my offer got accepted mostly because of her advice and recommendations. She led me through the whole process and made it easy for me. As a first time home buyer I had very little if no knowledge about the whole process as well as what to pay attention to in a house. She had patience to answer all my silly questions while never making me feel silly. She is very knowledgeable, and provided me with tons of useful and helpful information. The market is tough now for the buyers and Kathleen fought for me on the “battle field” . She arranged for a mason to come over and give an estimate for his work if needed to be done. She helped me to lower the price for the house so I could do the necessary repairs. When I had a question, I got the answer. When I needed help she was there for me always on my side. Very responsive and awesome at negotiations!!! I loved working with Kathleen and due to her now I have a house. The house is in my style in the area that I feel comfortable and at home. I just love it all. I can’t find words to thank Kathleen enough. I was very lucky to find her and recommend her to anybody interested in housing market.

Agnieszka Szostakiewicz
 

Anna has far exceeded our expectations and surpassed our experience working with any realtor in any state! We originally got in touch from out of state and Anna went straight to work getting showings set up for our few days in town on an exploratory trip. Because of this insane market she showed us about 50 houses and was super flexible as our goals and needs evolved. Anna is super knowledgeable and a wealth of information when it comes to not only personal property but investments. She sent us listings that were about to go on the market so we would be prepared to make an offer when they went live, she was really collaborative and a partner regarding the potential of the home and she worked every angle throughout the negotiations. She helped us secure a home that checked every item on our “must have” and “wish” lists. I cannot say enough great things about working with Anna at every step of the way. We’re looking forward to buying several more properties here in town with her help.

Chelsea Krakowski
 

Best realtor in milwaukee area and pretty much one of the coolest guys ever. Found him randomly on trulia while looking for homes. He made the buying experience tolerable. He worked with us for months beforewe closed and really put in a lot of extra time and work to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. He personally walked through the home numerous times to check of the status of some repairs and delayed the closing because he spotted a leak in the bathroom that the inspector did not see. A genuinely honest person who will look out for you. I will recommend him to everyone and in the future I would never work with any other realtor.

My husband and I worked with Lance in purchasing our first home and we are so glad we chose to work with him! Prior to working with Riverwest, we were having a really hard time finding a home but once we switched realtors and began to work with Lance we knew we made the right choice. Lance was refreshing to work with – he is honest, down to earth, and works very hard for his clients. He made the home buying process easy and actually enjoyable! If you are in the market as a buyer or seller, you need to be working with Riverwest Realty.

Courtney Ankenbrandt
 

Lance and his team were awesome to work with. We bought our house with the help of Riverwest Realty about 2 years ago in Wauwatosa and the experience was pretty much seamless.

Lance was very knowledgable of the properties we were interested in. He is a very honest, helpful and reliable person. When ever a new listing comes up, he does his best to give us the information we need, he makes himself available to show us the property, and he also keeps us informed of any new listings that may become available. We have purchased two properties through Lance and he is still helping us with our search for a third. We will continue to use his services and refer him to any friends or family who may be interested in purchasing homes.

Charles O
 

Lance is a realtor that you want to use! He helped me understand the whole process along with getting multiple offers in a down market with a selling price of 98% of the asking price. Lance also made this all happen for me while I was over in Iraq by staying in touch everyday. If you are looking for a realtor that stays in touch, is very professional, and is dedicated to sell or find you a property Lance is the man for you.

Tom Burke
 

I highly recommend working with Lance and Riverwest Realty. Lance helped me sell a house quickly, efficiently and for a great price. Working with him now as a buyer has been just as great. He quickly addresses all my questions, he’s easy to work with, and he shares his knowledge with me so that I’m well-equipped to make good decisions in this process. He’s a gem!

Amy Olen
 

Lance helped me sell my property maximizing my bottom line in a short amount of time. I was told by other professionals that I could not list my home for more than 99k. Based on his knowledge of the Riverwest area of Milwaukee, he suggested a higher listing and had a buyer within weeks. He answered his phone calls immediately and answered all of my questions quickly and accurately. He is a stand up guy and when I am in the market to buy he will be the only person I call.

Paul Aardappel
 

Lance has knowledge, expertise, and PATIENCE. Thanks to life getting in the way, my home-buying process took nearly six months longer than intended, and he never once broke professionalism. He answered all my questions (as I’m a first time homebuyer) and helped me to find the right home, in the right location, for the right price (Well below what I was expecting, for quality well higher than could have hoped). He was in it every step of the way, always in touch, but never pressuring, nor overzealous. He’s a font of information, tap into it. As long as he’s in business, I can’t see using any other Realtor in the Milwaukee area.

Steve Shaughnessey
 

Lance is an amazing agent with top notch service. When the other agents were unhelpful due to the lower price range (subsequent lower commission) Lance stepped in and worked diligently to find the right home and do everything he could to help. He genuinely cared about everything and made the process a pleasant one. I would recommend him to anyone hands down!

Jake Schmitt
 

Being first time home buyers, my girlfriend and I were fairly inexperienced with the home buying process as a whole. Fortunately, we were able to connect with Lance, and all of our worries were laid to rest. From the outset, Lance impressed us with his professionalism, knowledge of the area, availability, and most important, commitment to finding us a home in an efficient and timely fashion. In only two months’ time, we went from viewing our first property, to closing and owning a home, in large part due to Lance. We laid out our budget and features we were looking for, and let Lance provide the rest, which he did as properties became available in the area. It was very reassuring to have someone on top of his game and so committed to us every step of the way. Never once did we feel pressured, but knew we could count on Lance for any questions or concerns we had as he was always reachable. Lance comes highly recommended, without reservation, from two, very happy (but busy) home owners. We wish the best for Lance going forward as he really made this purchase, which often times can be quite stressful, very enjoyable.

I really enjoyed working with Lance to buy my Riverwest duplex. Lance is very knowledgeable about the Riverwest area, and that knowledge was very helpful when it came not only finding the right duplex, but also in negotiations. He was very patient and explained the home-buying process in easy and simple terms. I never felt pressured to look at certain homes or to make an offer. Lance was able to work around my busy schedule, and was always professional and responsive to any concerns or questions that I had. Lance makes himself available at almost any time, and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you get the home you are looking for at the right price. When anyone asks me for a realtor in the Milwaukee area, not just Riverwest, I would only recommend Lance. He made what I thought would be a stressful and time-consuming process seem easy and quick. I was able to close on a home within about 3 months of contacting Lance. I cannot recommend him enough. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Milwaukee, Lance is your man. Hands down.

Lance took me seriously as a first-time homebuyer and single woman looking for a fixer upper in Riverwest. He made the process a breeze, and gladly showed me a wide variety of properties, both in price and condition. He was attentive to the specific things that I was looking for in a property and worked diligently to find properties I might like. Lance was flexible in order to work with my schedule and always responded immediately to my inquiries. He really loves the neighborhood and is invested in the community of Riverwest, which shows in how invested he is in getting the right person in the home that’s right for them. I’d recommend Lance to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, particularly in Riverwest.

Lance killed it! He was extremely responsive, constantly available and tirelessly patient. We needed an agent who was willing to take us to multiple properties in varying conditions and in different neighborhoods. He helped us understand what to look for, what we wanted and how best to take action when our opportunity came up. Lance clearly cared about us and about our home-buying process. He was always happy to talk and never made me feel like I was wasting his time even when we were in and out of a house in 2 minutes or when we talked though negotiation options over and over. We feel like he’s happy that we found the right house for us and that we will be happy. We feel very lucky to have stumbled upon Lance and would sincerely recommend him

I had a great experience with Lance; I found an awesome house and he helped me pull through it. I purchased a foreclosed property, which didn’t have much room for negotiation, and plenty of complications in closing. We got it done, which wasn’t easy and Lance gave me plenty of helpful resources along the way. He definitely was locally minded, and responded quickly to issues and my correspondence.

Most amazing Realtor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He is very knowledgeable, extremely personable and the most helpful person ever! He not only helped me during the process of getting my condo but he helped me after with contacts and guidance. I am honestly so lucky to have been able to work with him and I would highly recommend him.
