All types. Lots of individuals situations are a bit different and I'm here to help you navigate through any obstacles that make come up through the home sale or purchase.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I actually had a client I've been working with for a little over a year looking for a very specific property and they did miss out on two other ones because of the market we're in and the others weren't exactly what they were looking for. But about 3 weeks ago the absolute perfect house came up for them overlooking Geneva Lake and they didn't hesitate and from the minute they saw the house they knew it was the one for them. We had to beat out four other offers on this house but we came out victorious and they are so so happy! Nothing better being at closing making clients dreams come true!
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I got my degree in bachelors engineering and worked in the field for a few years and just realized it wasn't for me. I knew someone that was a Realtor and I started talking with them about it and ever since meeting with the broker of an office, I fell in love and jumped in immediately to start working to get my licenses. It was the best decision I ever made, I love helping all my friends family and clients out and seeing how happy they are the day of closing!

Sean is very professional, and I think one of the most knowledgeable realtors in this area. His preparation for each step of the process from the time I called him through the final closing was very impressive. Whenever I had a question or concern Sean was available to be contacted with an answer and ease my concerns. He personally walked me through the entire process and made everything as easy as possible for me. Everything was fast and easy, and I was very happy with our sale price. I would highly recommend the Gitzlaff Team to anyone selling or buying.

She worked hard for us with great communication and all the help we could ask for. In a very challenging market she over and over made herself available to show us houses quickly, necessary because if we were not quick we would not get a house. We got a great house. She knows the market, excellent to work with, very hard working, you're not going to do better than her thorough job!

Kristy did an outstanding job in helping my wife and I sell and list our condo. She is responsive, always willing to talk whenever I called. She is very knowledgeable of the market and was able to sell our condo above asking price. Highly recommend.

Kristy worked patiently with me and my husband during our year and a half home search. Once we finally found our perfect home, she helped us quickly sell our condo with an accepted offer over asking price. I would highly recommend using Kristy as your realtor in the Kenosha area!

Sean was great to work with! He set the right price for our home, gave solid advice on what needed to be done to get that price, and handled everything from the pictures thru the closing. The commission rate was more than reasonable. Our house sold quickly with little effort on our part and for a great price! We have already recommended Sean to our friends and family, and will continue to do so.
