Scott from the very start demonstrated his professionalism and salesmanship as he led us, with patience and personal understanding, through this painstaking process. He responded very quickly to any questions and concerns we had. More importantly, when we had questions he wasn't sure about, he said so and was eager to get them answered. A home purchase is prbably the largest single fiscal commitment a family will make. Scott was able to skillfilly reduce the anxioty throughout the experience. Referral business is the compliment a sales professional can receive, so we will always recommend Scott Straus to anyone looking to purchase a home. Thank you Scott from our entire family!

Throughout our home-buying process, Scott was incredibly communicative. He promptly answered calls, texts and emails, keeping us informed about every development. His ability to clearly explain complex contract details was invaluable. We cant thank him enough for all of his hard work! We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Scott. His dedication to our satisfaction was evident in how he went out of his way to accommodate our viewing schedules and provided honest advice on property values.

Anna was super helpful to my fiancA(C) and I during our first home buying process. I did not know what to expect from the home buying process. Anna answered all of my (MANY!) questions with patience and knowledge. It also helped that she was local to the area we were buying in - she was able to give us additional "local" recommendations for shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. If you're buying in Southeast Wisconsin, I cannot recommend working with Anna enough. She was super responsive and helpful.
