    About Josh Lavik

    I'm on a mission to create a better real estate experience for all of our real estate clients. We do this in a number of ways. One is by creating a team based structure that has specialized people within designated roles that truly excel in their area of expertise. Another way is through our home perks program (contact me for details) with moving, household, and entertainment benefits. I have been helping people buy, sell, and invest in real estate since 2005. During that time there has been growth, challenges, changes, and everything in between. One career highlight was having the opportunity to be featured TWICE on the hit television show House Hunters on HGTV. Another high moment came in 2010 when I was among In Business Magazine's Top 40 Under 40 for business professionals in the Madison area. In 2013, I graduated with my MBA (Masters in Business Administration) from UW-Madison. I have consistently ranked among the top real estate agents in all of South Central Wisconsin. My amazing wife helps raise our 3 boys and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help others in our community.

    Josh has helped me buy multiple properties and sell one. Each time he was efficient, helpful, and willing to take the time to explain the bigger picture to me. In this most recent purchase I had more constraints or "needs" than past purchases, which made our search a little more difficult, on an also-difficult compressed timeline. Josh stayed at it, matched my urgency, and willingly adopted my priorities. Whether you're new to the area or a longtime resident, you will not ever regret working with Josh in a real estate transaction. Period.

    Awesome people, very honest and this is the second time we have used them. Once for buying and now for selling. Always a great experience with Julie and Josh! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

    All-around a terrible experience. My first impression of Josh Lavik was that he was extremely unknowledgeable. When we went to see houses he did not have any printouts or information on the houses. Didn't even know where the property lines were, didn't know basic information about the houses. We asked for a plat map and any basic information on the home we were interested in, which he never provided.I was also made extremely uncomfortable by the way he stared at me and looked at me up and down, which was noticed by my partner as well. When we entered into negotiations he resorted to insults, demeaning and extreme statements. I was shocked at his incredibly unprofessional behavior. We had an inspection done and he accused the inspector of lying and making up and exaggerating defects. This inspector was very knowledgeable and competent. Josh Lavik made it very clear that he is very self-interested and will do whatever it takes to ensure things go his way, even if that means resorting to unethical behavior.I will never ever work with this person again and would absolutely not recommend him to anyone.

    I was set up with Cortney, Joshs aEURoeteamaEUR?, to help me write an offer on a listing of his that was sitting on the market for 40+ days. Cortney treated me as if I wasnt serious, made a contract exclusively for the 1 listing, and when the seller denied my offer, I never heard anything from Cortney or Lavik team, ever again. Ghosted. Not even a follow up. As a potential customer, this is some of the rudest and most unprofessional service Ive experienced. Dont waste your time at on Lavik or Cortney, they will act as if your a dime a dozen.
