ZillowVERIFIED Working with American Realtors was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Buying and selling a home can feel overwhelming, but they made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. They took the time to clearly explain every step along the way, which gave us so much confidence in our decisions. Communication was truly exceptionalaEUR"they kept us informed throughout the entire process and were always quick to respond, no matter the time of day. We never felt out of the loop or unsure about what was happening. One thing we especially appreciated was how our realtor truly advocated for us. When the other realtor attempted to pull an illegal move during the process, Trish immediately stepped in, protected our interests, and made sure everything stayed fair and above board. That gave us a lot of peace of mind and showed how committed they were to looking out for their clients. Burkes professionalism, knowledge, and dedication really stood out, and it made such a difference during what could have been a stressful time. Were so grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Deb was also fantastic to work with. She uploaded documents promptly, answered our questions quickly, and provided helpful opinions that guided us along the way. It really felt like we had a great team supporting us throughout the entire experience.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a wonderful time buying our first home with Trish and company. We started looking at homes this summer not expecting to purchase a home anytime soon. Then we found a great home for us. Trish was an amazing guide through the offer, inspection negotiations, and even finding the right lender for us. She was always on our side with prompt communication. Her years of experience made our home buying experience as stress free as possible. We would recommend Trish to anyone looking to purchase a home.

ZillowVERIFIED I have now purchased 2 homes with Trish. She points out the pros AND cons to every home we visit. I am very happy with her customer service and her ability to negotiate to ensure that you get the best deal you can.

ZillowVERIFIED Trish and the rest of the crew at American Realtors was absolutely wonderful throughout the process of selling our home and buying a new one. We were well-supported at every stage of the process, all of our questions were answered, and we got tons of great advice. Even when there were setbacks, Trish and kept our wishes in mind and took such good care of us. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, more friendly, and more helpful realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Trish was a great experience. Hands down the best Real Estate professional we have ever worked with. Knowledgeable about the area, houses in general, she knew what to look for and warn against. Very responsive no matter what the time of day. If we ever have to buy or sell our house in the area again she would be our choice.

ZillowVERIFIED Trish and her associate Deb did 2 times in a 41/2 year period that multiple Realitors could do . The first property was listed for 2 summers with other Realitors, contacted Trish and came out and evaluated the property and said its not being shown at an appropriate price. Trish raised the price of the 150000. And had a contract in 7 days .This last house sold in less than 40 days and it was located an hour from anywhere. Trish and Deb marketed it to cater to the home and capitalized on locations around it on top of all the features the home offered. Trisha and Deb are top notch Realitors that look , listen, and evaluate each property as if it was there own on the market . If you want first class professional Realitors and dont want to sell yourself short then Trish and Deb are outstanding and who you need.

ZillowVERIFIED Trish and staff were just awesome! A lot has changed in the 30+ years since selling and buying a house, and they helped immensely with the on-line paperwork processing. Trish is a proponent of the "value range" listing pricing whereas the other realtors we talked to were leery of it and put a substantially lower listing on their quotes. Not only did we get offers from the first two showings, but sold and closed the house at the top of the price range that Trish suggested. I understand that a complex undertaking as buying and selling real estate is can have its challenges, but the few we incurred were handled quickly and professionally. This all occurred during the peak of the Covid situation!

ZillowVERIFIED Trish was very responsive to text messages/calls at all hours of the day when I found a house I wanted to set up a showing for. If she for some reason could not attend a showing due to unexpected conflict she was prompt in sending her associate, Deb, to meet me. Both her and Deb were helpful in assisting me in my home search and during the closing process when purchasing my first home.

ZillowVERIFIED I really appreciated Trish's energy and responsiveness to my questions during my home sale. I contacted Trish after a previous realtor failed to sell the house. From the very beginning, Trish provided lots of information and her positive attitude and enthusiasm helped me feel at ease. Thank you!

ZillowVERIFIED At 65 years of age, I knew buying a home was going to be challenging; financially, emotionally and physically. And finding the right agent was going to be critical. I needed someone with a wealth of experience, available 24/7, who could hold my hand through the entire process in the utmost professional and personable manner. I found that agent in Trish Schaeffer. To say she cares about her customers is an understatement. Her guidance in finding the right home in the right location at the right time was extremely helpful. And her attention to detail is quite impressive aEUR" shed point out both the positives and the negatives on things that I would have never given a second thought about. And when it came down to writing the offer and negotiating terms, I knew I had the cream of the crop! Trish found the ideal home that could accommodate all of the needs for me, my daughter, and my 2 grandchildren, and that was not an easy task! Thank you, Trish, for your expertise, and your friendship.

ZillowVERIFIED Trish made a really good impression on me the first time I met her. She listened to us and what we wanted to do, was very positive and supportive in helping us get what we wanted from the sale of our house. She took time to explain the process of selling the house, what works and doesn't, and worked with us to set up our plan. Showings were plentiful and Trish was always supportive and knowledgeable letting us know how to counter and found things missed on offers. We left her without selling the house and went with someone more local. Big MISTAKE! The first thing other brokers told us is that the price needed to go down. Got rid of them and went back to Trish, who actually realizes who she is working for, us! Sold the house with her help about 4 months later with both the Buyer and Seller being happy! I would highly recommend her for anyone that is selling their property. Thanks Trish!

ZillowVERIFIED Trish was a very good marketer of our property and knew exactly what it would take to get it shown and sold. We sold our property with a month or so of listing it. She also educated us in our new home search, pointing out features to stay clear from and good things to gravitate towards.

ZillowVERIFIED We used Trish on 2 occations and she is an amazing Realtor! She is professional and always try to get the best deal for her customer. She is Amazing! We made use of her services when we bought our first house in the USA after relocating from South Africa. When we heard that we will have to move to another state we did not think twice about making use of her services again.

ZillowVERIFIED What a great experience! I hired Trish after my original realtor failed on the closing of my home. He produced one buyer over a year and no other offers. Trish came in and marketed my house very differently and brought out the best of my home. I had 9 offers within weeks of signing her on. House sold within a 1 month. I walked away with $15,000 more from the sale under her contract. Service was great, I received feedback from most showings. If there was any inclination that someone was interested, she was on the phone nudging the realtor. She stayed on top of it all the way to close. Thank you Trish for your hard work! I am going to use her to buy my next home. Hopefully, she can save me $ there as well.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time homebuyer, Trish was very helpful in not only guiding me through the process, but educating me about it also. She provided valuable insight throughout the experience and was very responsive to all my questions and concerns.

ZillowVERIFIED Trish gave us the feeling from the first meeting, that she could be trusted. That feeling turned out to be a solid and accurate one. When we discribed what we were looking for, she was amazing at finding the right home for us. It took looking at over 100 homes for us to find our current home. But with Trish, it only took looking at under 10 houses to find our new home. I liked that she used all available technology to communicate, but was always available for a quick chat. She is knowledgeable and professional, I highly recommend Trish.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Trish Schaefer was a great experience. We located her through the Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local Provider (ELP) website so we knew she would understand our financial principals and would bring a gazelle-like intensity to selling our home. During our initial consultation, she demonstrated trust-worthiness that made us feel very secure in selecting her as our realtor. She priced our home appropriately and met her commitment to sell our home before the year end. And on the buying side, we never felt any kind of pressure to buy something we were not happy with. Her expertise and knowledge of the market were so valuable in guiding us to make the right decisions. Trish and her team at American Realtors were very efficient and organized which made the whole complex process of buying and selling a home so much less stressful. We love our new home and neighborhood and will highly recommend Trish to our friends and relatives who have mentioned purchasing or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED We talked with a couple of different realtors before deciding to use Trish with American Realtors. Trish was very professional and knowledgeable. The list date thru the sale date on our property was one month. She went above and beyond for ourselves and the buyers and I would not hesitate to recommend her to everyone!

ZillowVERIFIED TRISH Schafer did a great job in marketing to sell a home and helped to also buy a home. Her knowledge of the various counties and cities is not limited to Dane County, so that was a real asset when buying. She is also well respected and known among the real estate agent community. Anyone that meets her will like her and have full confidence in abilities.

ZillowVERIFIED I live in another state 7 hours away. Trish was always available whenever I called her. If she couldn't provide the information I needed , she would obtain it and get back to me. Never was she short with me , but gave me as much time a I needed. There were a LARGE number of contacts between us. If I should buy or sell any property in the Madison area she would be the only person I would use.
