ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta was so great to work with! We were very glad to have her on our side throughout the process of buying and selling our homes aEUR" the process with her was smooth. She was always responsive, professional, and an excellent communicator with strong negotiation skills. Her connections and insights on both the financial and repairs side were incredibly helpful. We highly recommend Jolenta to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. So much fun to work with!
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta goes above and beyond as a real estate agent. Having worked with a few agents over the years, what stands out most is how much she looks out for your best interests as a buyer. Theres never any pressure to rush into a decisionaEUR"in fact, she often spends more time thoughtfully explaining why a house isnt the right fit than pushing you toward a quick close. Thats because shes more than just an agent: she becomes a trusted neighbor, confidante, and thought partner. Jolenta listens closely, prioritizes your wants and needs, and helps you make sense of whats realistic in the market. Wed 100% work with her again.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta Averill is a true gem of an agent in this very challenging real estate market. She will not only be up front and honest with you in terms of the current numbers and state of the market, but then she will strategize and help you every step of the way to ensure that your offer will be as competitive as possible. Despite being one of at least 10 other offers and in a situation where e-signing was a challenge for an elderly buyer, she still made it happen. She knows the market inside and out and will work tirelessly to advocate on your behalf. Jolenta is truly a one of a kind agent and exactly who you need by your side when looking to buy in this highly competitive market!
ZillowVERIFIEDFantastic! Don?t know that we would have gotten our dream home and been able to so easily move from out of state. Very grateful to Jolenta, her expertise and the work she did for us.
ZillowVERIFIEDAWESOME EXPERIENCE! Jolenta assisted me in purchasing my dream home. The process was seamless from being to closing. Since I was relocating from out of state, we did a zoom virtual tour. The offer was submitted timely and once accepted an inspection was arranged. I would highly recommend Jolenta (excellent communicator and negotiator). She handled challenges with finesse.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently purchased a condominium in Madison, WI. Our realtor Jolenta Averill provided us with postings as possibilities became available. Most importantly she helped us navigate a competitive market when we found the right one providing us with professional advice that benefited us significantly. The whole process went smoothly and without any surprises because of her experience and attention to detail. I highly recommend Jolenta for your next real estate venture.
ZillowVERIFIEDLast summer, my husband and I decided to look for a second home in the city of Madison -- we are from Illinois, but enjoy boating on Lake Mendota. We were originally looking for a condo in or near downtown. We connected with Jolenta, and she obliged by showing us several properties. She was very honest with us, sharing her opinion of value the actual value of the property versus the asking price -- literally zero pressure to purchase. The last property we visited was an old home in a neighborhood adjacent to the lake that had great potential, but definitely would require some significant work. Because Jolenta has a wealth of experience renovating older homes, she had some great ideas, as well as some cautions. Jolenta showed us the house more than and once, and helped us think through some problem areas. She contacted the listing realtor several times to quickly get answers to our questions, and we ended up closing within 6 weeks after our offer was accepted. Not only did we end up owning a quaint little home, but we gained a friend in Jolenta, as well!
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta and her team are the best! We went through the whole buying process from Chicago and during COVID-19, but Jolenta made everything so much easier. She is very responsive, sensitive to what we needed, and above all knows the market extremely well. Jolenta also has many good contacts to recommend for other services. We managed to get our offer accepted within 12 hours and close on the house within 4 weeks - all thanks to Jolenta and her team! Most highly recommended.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta helped us with the short sale of our home. We had been trying to sell it for several months with another agent who did not communicate with us. We eventually had to fire that agent and were fortunate to find Jolenta. She improved the presentation of our property and marketed it right. She went above and beyond by helping take Christmas lights down and clean some things up in the yard. She was in constant communication with us so we knew what prospective buyers were thinking. Very organized and very knowledgeable, especially in a difficult situation like a short sale. We sold our house within weeks of her taking over. Jolenta has many years experience and it showed. The closing was seamless. She was encouraging and had the right connections. I would highly recommend her as a realtor, in fact we are using her again as I write to buy another property. I would rate her a five star realtor.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolentas expertise helped us quickly sell our home when we were moving out of state. We felt confident in her knowledge and appreciated her timely communication throughout the entire process. A year and a half later, we decided to move back to WI. We chose Jolenta as our realtor on the buying end, as we know how competent, thorough and professional she is. We were unable to see the homes in person, so Jolenta made excellent videos of the homes we wanted to see. She provided us with sound advice, and made us feel very comfortable submitting an offer from out of state. In addition, we were very impressed with her ease at navigating a difficult situation that occurred very close to our closing date. If you want a realtor who is going to work hard for you and in your best interest, I highly recommend you choose Jolenta Averill.
ZillowVERIFIEDRealtor Extraordinaire! Jolenta helped my family sell my cousins beloved home in the midst of a pandemic. She went way above and beyond in preparing the house to be photographed and then shown. Her enthusiasm, dedication and positivity got the job done when we were ready to throw in the towel due to the difficult nature of the buyers and their demands. She was always highly professional and brought her years of experience and personal resources in to save the day at the last minute, completing the sale, and earning kudos from all the family members, including my attorney husband who has dealt with real estate for over 30 years.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta was awesome! She was very receptive to our input and helped us get the house we wanted. The Madison market is very competitive and we we able to land the property even though there were 15 other offers! She brought tons of knowledge from the local area and walked us through the process. I would recommend Jolenta to anybody wanting to buy or sale a house in the Madison area!
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta provided immense knowledge and expertise, and I would highly recommend her. She helped me through the process of selling my first home, and really worked with me to understand the process and make informed decisions. I would highly recommend her!
ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time home buyers, this process had the potential to be so much more stressful than it was, thanks to Jolenta. She was super responsive and never made us feel like we were bothering her with our plethora of questions. She took her time with the showings and never made us feel rushed to get through it. We highly recommend Jolenta!
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I worked with Jolenta to purchase a home after moving to Madison in the winter of 2016. She was invaluable in showing us a variety of neighborhoods that matched our needs. deciding on a beautiful home in a neighborhood that we love. She is very personable and well informed about the real estate market. Moreover, she was readily available to help for speedy resolution of the unexpected, including helping to move our closing date ahead by two weeks.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I first met Jolenta when we were buying a house through another real-estate agent. She was representing the seller and we kept wondering why our real-estate agent wasnt giving us as much advice as she was giving the seller. When we had to relocate due to jobs, several years later, we contacted her. She met with us on very short notice (we called on Friday and she met us on Monday) and made helpful, easy to execute recommendations to improve curb-appeal. Despite the fact that I was out of state for the majority of the selling process, she made the experience easy. We were able to sell the house and have money in hand in less than 2 months AND she got us more than asking price.
ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend you work with Jolenta on both the sale AND purchase of your new home for a worry-free experience! Jolenta helped me buy my new condo and sell my family home - we worked together over a 6-month period which began as some window shopping for a new home and suddenly turned serious. When I found my dream condo, I was absolutely amazed at the speed at which Jolenta was able to help me buy it. Jolenta moved like lightning to help me find a mortgage pre-approval (on a Sunday afternoon right before New Years Eve!). Once our offer was made, she had the inspection scheduled within a day. Her attention to detail on the negotiation was vital to secure the property for me at the right price. We turned to selling my family home - which Id tried to do before unsuccessfully with two other Realtors. This time, the pricing and marketing were on point, and I received an offer from the perfect buyer on the same day. Jolenta was extremely professional and her level of service was exceptional. Working with her was really a pleasure.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta is a full detail agent. She worked tirelessly to get me the info I needed to make a decision from out of town including a full FaceTime tour of the property. She set me up with great bankers and has been full of ideas on how to maximize the potential of the property. Shes an advocate, consultant AND agent. Shes tops.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was referred to Jolenta by a friend and was very happy I met her. As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what to do. She helped me all along the way from beginning to end. I couldnt have asked for a better first time home buying experience. I will definitely contact her if/when I choose to sell and purchase a new home.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolentas vision for marketing my house & her visually stunning whole-house professional staging was instrumental in getting my Dudgeon-Monroe home sold for nearly full price after a disappointing experience with another Realtor that lasted an agonizing 9 months. Instead of hitting me up for price reduction after price reduction like my previous listing agent did, Jolenta told me why my house wasnt selling and sprung into action, giving my house a fresh, updated look by making a few key, yet affordable, changes. Jolenta then hand-picked furniture & furnishings for every room, including beautiful vignettes for the living room, dining room, sunroom, kitchen, bar, Master bedroom, guest bedroom, mudroom & both bathrooms. She even had the 2-car garage floor acid washed and epoxied! Having already relocated to FL, I was 100% reliant on Jolenta to coordinate with contractors to accomplish the rehab on my house, with estimators and HVAC technicians when my furnace gave out (this alone involved six visits in total!), and with a variety of other people when it came to sprucing up the yard, holding multiple open houses, coordinating repairs, inquiries from neighbors, and more. Jolenta even sought out quotes and architectural renderings from two contractors to design a stairway, walkway, landscaping and formal front entrance so that prospective buyers could get past that objection and not get hung up on the homes current limitations. But dont just take my word for it, the entire neighborhood was blown away by Jolentas industriousness, cheerfulness, and professionalism. Jolenta subsequently listed the house directly behind mine & collected three offers on the first day?.but thats another story. My point is that Jolenta gets results regardless of the nature of the project or of current market conditions. I cant thank Jolenta enough for wrapping up this final piece of business for me so I could move on with my life down in FL. I would recommend Jolenta without reservation to anyone buying or selling in Madison WI or anywhere in Dane County! ~Michelle K., Nokomis, FL
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I recently purchased our house from Jolenta and we can honestly say it was the best experience possible. We wanted a home in a very specific neighborhood almost down to the street and as soon as a house with those criteria came on the market on the exact street that we had asked about, Jolenta contacted me. After looking at houses with other Realtors for almost two years, Jolenta was able to line up the house of our dreams inside of two weeks almost as though she had been able to read my mind. Jolenta is totally trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable about the market, and was very attentive to our needs. She was very patient, extremely detail-oriented, never rushed us and made us feel special. She led us from the beginning to the end despite not knowing the process. She even helped us line up financing and helped us secure a loan from one of her partner lenders who informed us that we qualified for an incredible loan program that we did not even know we qualified for. We would recommend Jolenta to any one of our friends or family and, in fact, plan to tell our daughter about Jolenta as she is planning to move to Madison in the near future. We are so grateful that a chance meeting with Jolenta turned into such a fruitful relationship both personally and professionally!
ZillowVERIFIEDI was absolutely amazed at the speed at which Jolenta was able to help me buy this house. I started out more or less window shopping and when it became clear I had finally found a house to get serious about, she moved with lightning speed to help me find a mortgage pre-approval (on a Sunday afternoon!). Once our offer was made, she had the inspection scheduled within a day. Her attention to detail on the negotiation was vital to secure the property for me at a the right price. She was extremely professional and her level of service was exceptional. Working with her was really a pleasure.

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you want an agent who is going to look out for your best interests, and not pressure you into purchasing a house that you dont want, dont go with Jolenta. We knew that we wouldnt find a ton of places in our price range with the things we considered most important, but we sure were going to try. We were very clear with Jolenta what our priorities were: Price, Central Air, Square Footage. After seeing a property that was a project and telling her that we definitely were not interested in it; we didnt have the time to put into making it a home, she continued to send texts pressuring us to purchase the home, even asking the selling agent how low he would go. When we repeatedly told her we had neither the time or budget to take on something like this, she told us we were wrong in believing it would take as much time and money as we believed it would. We found a home online that we fell in love with. According to the listings we saw, it had everything we wanted: A good price, central air, large square footage, a basement we could finish for even more living space. After seeing the house, Jolenta tried to talk us out of it, she said the sale would be difficult for numerous reasons, but that didnt bother us. We wanted to try for this house - bank owned and winterized or not. We told her what our offer would be. We told her that that offer was stretching us financially, and that we were ok with losing the house, we would just continue to look. She convinced us to go in over what we were comfortable with, because we would never find another home like it in our price range. It was a tough transaction. A lot of bumps in the road; no condo association, an issue with liability insurance, a burst pipe... but in the end, we came through and got the house. However, after being in the house for three days, we noticed there was NO AC in the home. We had no recourse because both the inspection and the appraisal said None under the AC sections... and we didnt notice. Jolenta also either didnt notice, or didnt feel like we needed to be made aware. Due to the known issues with the plumbing, we, as first time home buyers, were most concerned with that on the report. When we asked Jolenta about it, she said that we had used unreliable sources when reviewing the home listing and that it was our fault for not following up on it more before making the offer. Now, our budget is really stretched, and we need to spend between $3,000-$4000 to get a central air unit put in on top of everything else we had already carefully budgeted for. While Jolenta probably has good knowledge of the Madison area, is decent at keeping in contact with her clients, I do not feel like she had our best interests in mind. If you arent a first time home buyer, and you know what to be wary of, you may have better luck.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe relocated to Madison from New Hampshire and thought we could find a great house on our own since so much was available on the market at the time. After calling listing agents and private sellers and looking at 20+ properties over a one-month period we were exhausted and needed help. We met Jolenta at an open house and she made a great first impression. She told us she would be more than just a buyer?s agent but an advocate for us as well. After telling her what we wanted in a house she spent a whole day taking us on a citywide real estate tour. Over the course of the day she really paid attention to our likes and dislikes and listened to our comments. In the late afternoon she suggested we look at two more properties that she thought might fit our specific needs. The last house she brought us to gave us chills, we knew that it was the one. Her practical guidance and negotiation skills got our offer accepted over several others and she was able to steer clear of a bidding war. She is an astute businesswoman but her keen intuition and knack for really getting to know her clients are her most valuable assets. Thanks for everything, Jolenta!Gael Boyd & Ginny Ross Madison, WI
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta guided us through the purchase of our first home with no snags. She was always available, and never stopped communication. We got the house we wanted at the price we wanted. A year later, we still love the place. Thanks Jolenta!
ZillowVERIFIEDSecond time working with Jolenta and couldnt be happier with the results. She sold us our first house and did an amazing job, so of course we reached out to her to help us when we needed to sell it. Great tips for staging and updates, great to work with, always incredibly helpful.
ZillowVERIFIEDFast & professional. Easy to work with and down to earth! She showed us many properties in the middle of a cold wintery 2 day WEEKEND and then took us back for 2nd looks. Kept me involved in entire process with daily or muliti daily emails & messages. Worked well with me once home was closed on with an issue I had with the HOME INSPECTOR and got everything resolved with out any additional out of pocket cost to me!!! Would recommend her to anyone!
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta represented us when we bought a fantastic condo on Lake Mendota. She is very professional and knowledgable, and a great negotiator. We highly recommend her.
ZillowVERIFIEDDue to a family situation I needed to sell my house of 20 years and move to a condo and that was when I met Jolenta. She was so very helpful - helping me ready and sell my house. We were able to sell very quickly at a price that was better than I had hoped. We also found a condo at a great price which I purchased. Jolenta has a thorough understanding of the housing market, is technologically savvy, using all of the most up to date tools to complete the process quickly and in the most efficient manner possible. She is tireless and passionate about her profession. She seems to be constantly striving to improve her understanding and skills in real estate. Recently I visited an open house at a condo in my same complex. It ticked a few more boxes so I decided to go forward with the purchase of it. I again contacted Jolenta and we were able to place an offer which was quickly accepted. We then put my condo on the market. I had an accepted offer (above asking price) in less than 48 hours. We will close on both of these in the near future. Thanks to Jolenta it has been a nearly painless process! I have recommended Jolenta to all of my friends and will continue to do so.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe cannot say enough about Jolenta. Relocating from out-of-state and realizing the market was extremely competitive in Madison within the Westside community where we wanted to purchase our home, we knew we had to act fast. A colleague referred us to Jolenta (Lake & City Homes). After several telephone conversations, we planned our house-hunting trip. Meeting Jolenta in person for the first time was like reconnecting with a relative one hasn?t seen in a long time. Seriously! Jolenta, with out a doubt, is the best agent you are ever going to meet and to have representing your real estate needs ? truly a subject matter expert (knows her real estate market). Very personable! In the end, Jolenta helped us purchase our home in a highly competitive market, and she was extremely thorough, very responsive to our needs, and truly cared more about what we wanted rather than just getting us to buy the first home we viewed. Jolenta always ensured the process was moving forward ? definitely a win-win situation. Great agent and person!!!! Laura & Larry
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta has helped me through 3 real estate transactions now - 2 buys and 1 sell. She has been absolutely fabulous in all of them! She really knows her way around the legal paperwork and is a fabulous negotiator. She sees both the upside and the downside to any transaction. I do not hesitate to recommend Jolenta when anyone needs to buy or sell a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta was very attentive and showed us homes that she knew we would like. She is very aggressive in selling homes and great at showing new homes to any buyer. We highly recommend her.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe were looking in a very tight market and had a very short period of time in which to find a house. Jolenta moved quickly to show us any home that met our criteria, and once we found one, she advised us well so we got the house we wanted in a bidding situation without spending more than we could afford. On a personal note, I really liked spending time looking at houses with her. She could see past others home interiors and gave us ideas for each home that we wouldnt have thought of ourselves.
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta was amazing in every aspect of our sale! From communication, to negotiation, she made everything easy and less stressful. She was readily available to answer any questions or concerns, and always explained the process in a way that was easy to understand. We highly recommend her as a realtor, she was truly a pleasure to work with!
ZillowVERIFIEDJolenta knew the market extremely well and helped to find the right area and a great house quickly. During the hunt she was working nonstop to find properties to look at and was always able to arrange inspections. The offer and negotiation process went through without a hitch. Her personality and love of homes really made the process much less stressful than it can be. I highly recommend Jolenta Averill for your real estate transactions.
ZillowVERIFIEDThis past fall we completed our second home purchase with Jolenta and our first home sale with her and we couldnt have been more pleased. She did a fantastic job selling our home for the price we wanted within 20 minutes of our first open house. She is truly a professional negotiator and pays super close attention to contract details. Weve purchased and sold 13 homes over the last 30 years, in three different states, dealt with numerous agents and brokers, and by far Jolenta has been the best agent/broker weve ever had working for us.
