“Lou was exceptional to work with. He handled both the sale of our former home and the purchase of our new home. He helped us through a difficult high-interest market by giving us a lot of options for financing, helped us figure out what we could expect from the sale, and lastly found the price range we could afford for the new home. We shopped for over 6 months of showings, partially due to us being picky, but also because of a low-inventory time. When we finally found the house we wanted to write on, he gave us great advice on what to offer and we got our place under contract within two days. Then we had to sell, sell fast, and get a good price. He brought in a stager and we went all-in on a single weekend of open houses and showings. We let Lou do his thing and by Monday we had a signed contract way over asking with the closing date we wanted to get into the new house on time. The last thing I'll say is he scored major points with us when the sellers of the house we bought left us a mess after closing, and Lou came over to help us clean. It wasn't his fault, he already got his commission check, but he showed up to support us. We will absolutely work with Lou next time we are in the market.”
“Working with Lou and his team was an absolute game-changer in my home-buying experience! I was on a tight timeline to secure a condo, and when my first offer unexpectedly fell apart, the pressure was on even more. Lou’s team went above and beyond to make sure I found the right place and closed in record time. His deep market knowledge, responsiveness, and strategic approach made all the difference. He and his team were proactive, communicative, and always one step ahead, ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly - special shoutout to Lillian and Phillip! From scheduling last-minute showings to negotiating effectively and expediting the process, they made what could have been a stressful situation feel completely manageable. I truly can’t recommend Lou enough. If you need a realtor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely invested in your success, look no further. I’m so grateful for his dedication and expertise in making this happen!”
“As a first-time homebuyer, working with Lou was an absolute pleasure! He was incredibly helpful and always responsive to all our questions, making the entire process much smoother than I expected. His professionalism and deep knowledge of the local market were evident every step of the way. Another great bonus was his YouTube channel, which provided a wealth of informative content that helped me better understand the home-buying process. I’m very happy to have had this experience with Lou and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated real estate agent!”
“We had an excellent home buying experience with Lou and his team. Lou helped us find a home that was perfect for our family and made sure the buying process went as smoothly as possible. We are so grateful and highly recommend him!”
“Second time working with Lou. He's so experienced, it almost feels like he can see through walls! Always available to explain issues we didn't deal with on the first home purchase with him. He also ensured that we were able to get three types of quotes on our home due to an inspection contingency, all within a week! He's very well connected to inspectors, loan officers, contractors, etc. Great sense of humor too! I honestly don't know why you would choose anyone else in Southern Wisconsin. Lou Elson is the BEST!”
“Very responsive and communicates well. Gave frequent updates on the process, helped us quickly find and close on a home”
“Lou is the best real estate agent around, hands down. Our story is testament for Lou's tenacity. This man deserves a monument in his honor. We worked with Lou to buy a new build and sell our condo. It seemed easy enough but we faced obstacle after obstacle on both the buy and sell side. Everything from issues with our lender, condo association insurance policies, closing delays, etc. Lou was not responsible for any one of these problems, and frankly he didn't have to help. But he took it upon himself to spend his weekends shopping for new insurance policies for my HOA, spent multiple hours/days/weeks problem-solving any and every way to get past these pesky problems. He kept the buyer, his realtor, his lender, my lender, my builder coordinator, the title company, my condo manager, HOA Board, our condo insurance agent, other vendors all in the loop. It was truly like taming and herding cats for 12 weeks straight from start to finish. The best part about this whole process was Lou's attitude. There were multiple points where we just didn't think it was going to happen. He didn't jump ship. He stuck with us. Lou was not going to take anything less than a win. And yet through these obstacles, he kept a calm yet assertive attitude. He got it done, didn't get visibly frustrated, and made us feel like he was doing everything in our power to make it happen. The uncertainty was difficult, but Lou navigated it WITH us, full of ease, comfort and confidence. I can't recommend Lou Elson enough. If he can't do it, literally no one can. Lou is the man with a plan and you're in GREAT hands with Lou Elson Real Estate.”
“Lou does whatever he can to get things done for his customers. I have seen it multiple times where he goes above and beyond.”
“I had the pleasure to work with Realtor Lou Elson who we both shared the same Customer/Buyer. The chain of events that took place to get this Buyer across the finish line is too long to write about, however if it wasn't for Lou's exceptional dedication and compassion this home would have never closed. I don't see Realtors go above and beyond like Lou did. So refreshing to experience good souls paying it forward. I would recommend Lou Elson to all family and friends. Well Done Lou!”
