I worked with Colin in selling my home and it was absolutely amazing! I never thought I could get the price we got for my home but he brought me a great offer that went to a smooth closing.
Even when issues came up, they were handled immediately and professionally. Great at negotiating the absolute best deal possible. I’d highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy or sell their house. 10/10!
Josh S.| Wind Lake, WI
We recently sold numerous buildings in the Milwaukee area. Jim and his outstanding team navigated us through the entire process with constant communication,
professionalism, reliability, honesty and made us feel comfortable and secure. This team truly has a love and passion for what they do daily. Jim and his team knew what we were looking for and did not waste time on offers not relevant.
We highly recommend the Geracie team with Realty Executives. We will be back when ready to sell more buildings. See you soon!
Julie, Michelle and Judy | Milwaukee, WI
The Geracie Team sold my Mother’s home in Menomonee Falls last year with such professionalism that we decided to have the Team back to sell our home.
From Jim Geracie’s initial visit giving honest feedback regarding pricing to Jill’s expertise in staging to Brenda keeping us informed of progress. We asked Jim to come to our home to discuss putting our home on the MLS.
We had thought we would wait until we came home from vacation. Jim suggested letting them show the house while we were out of town. It sounded like a good plan so we wouldn’t need to leave every time someone wanted to see it.
Thank goodness we listened to Jim. We had 105 showings in 3 days and needless to say, sold our home!
John and Jessica G.| Pewaukee WI
The Geracie team has been AH-MAZING to work with!! We went through the process of selling and buying with them and it could not have gone smoother!
We felt cared for every step of the way and the team offered great guidance to our family as we searched for (and eventually found!) our forever home!
Tim and Andrea D. | Brookfield, WI
We bought our first home with Geracie back in 2014 and it was such a great experience that we knew if were to ever be back in the market,
we would work with them again and we did! We recently sold that first home and bought a new home working with Geracie on both and we couldn't have asked for a better agent. They build relationships, communicate effectively,
respond immediately, and truly acted in our best interests throughout the entire process. We got everything we wanted and more both in selling this current home and buying the new one and we owe it all to Geracie.
There were there with us every step of the way and they made the whole process smooth and straightforward. We would recommend Geracie to anyone and everyone!
Aaron and Jordan B. | Waukesha, WI
Jill’s attention to detail is amazing! Our house was priced competitively for the market and sold within two weeks. We had several out of state and international buyers looking at our home. The team provided staging and stunning videography/marketing services. Would highly recommend!!
Heather M.
They proved a wealth of knowledge, experience, recommendations, and expertise. Further, I received excellent customer service; they responded promptly, listened authentically, and made sure I felt comfortable with every stage of the process.
Indeed, they went far and above the call of duty (a member of the Geracie team negotiated on the phone until midnight to ensure my offer was the one that got accepted in a competitive "race" for the condo I now call home).
This team is excellent; I strongly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
David M. | New Berlin
In addition to quickly this was the most professional and friendly I have ever dealt with. They were in total control of all issues ensuring the fastest possible resolution. In less than a month, I went under contract to sell my home, and am now in my new location closing on my new home. This team is far out front of their competition, and I give them my highest recommendation to anyone considering their services. Jim has the plan, and it works. Jim, Jill, Brenda, Brittany, and the rest of their staff are part of my family. I have a special love for them.
Frank and Beverly L. | Stonebank, WI
We hired Jim Geracie to sell our condo in the Third Ward, downtown Milwaukee. He demonstrated that our best interests were first and foremost as our representative. Jim and his team did an outstanding job throughout the entire process of selling the unit. Extremely detailed, prompt, and reliable team that left no unanswered questions. Jim went above and beyond our expectations selling the unit and for this, we greatly appreciate the efforts and services he provided as well as his great team. Thank you!
Mark and Madan
Their experience and expertise were evident from the start. From professional staging and photography, to effective pricing, marketing, and a successful open house; we were thoroughly impressed. The difference for us was how Jim, and every person on the team, genuinely supported and cared for us throughout the process. They took care of all the details and kept us informed every step of the way, and they did so with great kindness and humility. Thanks Jim!
Luz & Sam Wright | New Berlin, WI
They have done a fabulous job with each one. Their team works hard and you always have a point of contact for urgent issues and questions. We have worked with other realtors in the past and have not experienced the level of expertise and service that we have with Jim and Jill.
Haley A. | Wauwatosa, WI
I had been thinking of putting my condo on the market in order to move to another state to be near family. I was dreading it. The last realtor I chose was ineffective and it sat on the market for six months with very little activity. Then I met Jim and the Geracie team. Jim was very well informed about real estate and the real estate market. I was just going to hear what he had to say and politely say "I don't think so at this time." However being the salesman he is, he convinced me to go ahead. I didn't have a good reason to reject his logical thinking. It was the best decision I have made in a long time. My condo sold within four days and over asking price. His team was always available to answer my questions, extremely polite, and gracious. Everyone on the team knew their trade and worked well together as a TEAM.
Gloria Rauwald | Sussex, WI
selling her home of 23 years in Wauwatosa. Friends recommended someone they knew who handled home sales as a side line, but we did some on-line research and found that we had better go to someone who sells homes every day, and lots of them. We quickly found that Jim Geracie and his wonderful Realty Executives team of home selling experts met this criteria, and after one meeting with Jim, we knew that Jim was the right guy to get the job done fast and right. Jim's wife Jill helped us prep and stage the house, found movers to rearrange furniture, and even provided color coordinated table settings for the kitchen table. We set a realistic asking price, got the house ready for showing in 2 weeks, and offered Sat/Sun/Mon showings with a Tuesday deadline for offers. Pretty gutsy move, I thought, but Jim assured us this was the way to stir up action on the sale. We had 3 solid offers by Tuesday and the best was $20,000 over asking price. Jim made sure the offers and counter-offers were all favorable for us, and protected our interests, leading to a solid final accepted offer. Haley, their talented closer, guided us through the inspections, required work to meet buyer demands, all the closing paperwork, and was with us at the closing just 30 days later. Mom's house is sold to a happy buyer, Mom is moved into her new home, and the family is very thankful for a smooth a quick sale. From start to finish, the Jim Geracie team showed us how to sell fast, get the best value for the home, and kept our stress levels low!
Gary Otto | Wauwatosa, WI
My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Jill Geracie and the Jim Geracie Team. We ended up searching for over a year before finding the house we now call our home. Jill never gave up and was with us every step of the way. This was our first time buying a home and she made this process so stress free. We walked through a few houses and our final home with Jim Geracie as well. Both Jim and Jill were very informative and helpful. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with. We would definitely recommend them both to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
We had our home on the market for 60 days without a single offer and only a handful of prospective buyers coming by to look at the property. We ended up taking it off the market and were lucky enough to get out of our contract. We then began the process of looking for another agent and after a few interviews, it was clear we needed to go with Jim. He doesn’t always tell you what you want to hear but he tells you what you need to hear. He is upfront, honest, respectful, understanding and is so personable- by the end, you are feeling like he and his team are your friends. Jim and his team are so proficient, they were able to sell our home in just 4 days!!
Venus O. | Mequon, WI
I have had the pleasure of using Jim Geracie and his team for my past three real estate transactions (2 buying & 1 selling). To say they performed exceptionally well is an understatement. When I sold my house in Wauwatosa, WI a few years ago I anticipated a lengthy sale as the market was a little cold and the house had a foot print only a mother could love....long story short....they had it under contract for sale in 4 days at 98% of my asking price. While securing a seller quickly was great....what really blew me away was Jim's dedication POST-closing on the duplex he helped me line up after I sold the Wauwatosa house. About a week after I closed on the duplex in Greenfield, I had a leak from the Attic AC/Furnace unit that ruined drywall, trim, molding and paint in 4 rooms that spanned both my unit and my tenants. When Jim gave me a buzz a week or two after closing to see how things were going...I mentioned the damage/recent events and was surprised at how thoroughly upset he was. Long story short, Jim took care of the issue on his own accord, reaching out to the seller (whom is a local flipper) and leveraged his professional reputation to get the seller to come in and fully repair not only the furnace/AC but all damage at no cost....I had estimates for the work compiled at the time and was looking at roughly $5,000 worth of repairs needing to be made. To have Jim go the extra mile personally and get involved above and beyond the scope of his duties even AFTER having already been paid, spoke volumes. He is not only a consummate professional but more importantly a man of great character. I'm confident in stating you wont find a better realtor than Jim in the Midwest. Him and his team will be the only ones I consider using as I move forward with future real estate ventures.
Myles Oswald | Wauwatosa, WI
I’ve worked with both Jim and Jill over the past 25 years both buying and selling my houses. I’ve recommended them to others with confidence and everyone else has been very satisfied as well. They both take the personal touch. Buying my last home was following my divorce and I was bit lost. Jill was so patient and kind and always POSITIVE. She made me feel confident that I would find the right house. And we did. And because I don’t know squat about things like furnaces and sump pumps, Jim came out, showed me everything, and did his own personal check. Above and beyond. And I am forever grateful for their help. They know the difference between a house and a home and treat you like a friend not a client.
Cindy C. | Waukesha, WI
I have worked with Jim and Jill Geracie to buy and sell a couple houses now and have been consistently impressed. Most recently Jill and her team helped me find and purchase my new house. From beginning to end, they walked me through every step of the process, went above and beyond to answer all my questions promptly and thoroughly, and helped me find the right home for my family. They are extremely knowledgeable of the greater Milwaukee area, have an extensive network to draw upon, and conduct themselves with honesty and integrity.
Pam | Brookfield, WI
Jim and his team have helped us buy and sell 3 homes. The knowledge, speed and skill of each sale as well as responsiveness to our desires make Him and his team First Rate.
Tim & Jana | Brookfield, WI
Once the house sold (in one day!), his team leaped into action, providing detailed information on the inspection, the assessment, and the closing. There was no question asked that stumped them and they responded quickly. My wife and I have bought and sold 5 houses and this has to be the top selling experience for us.
Gene Orndorff | Oconomowoc, WI
Almost 5 years ago, Jim and Jill helped me buy my very first home. This year they helped me sell it. Their entire team was responsive and many times anticipated my questions before I even asked them. From our initial planning meeting to signing to closing documents, I felt informed, secure, and confident in the representation Jim and Jill, and the team provided to me.
Elizabeth L. | Shorewood, WI
We have used Jim and his team for several home purchases and sales. They have never disappointed and always worked hard to get us the best deal. They have been very professional and accommodating.
Hands-down the best experience of the four home purchases I've had over the years. I got into every house I asked to see in multiple counties on the same day that I requested, and there were A LOT! I received immediate feedback for the many, many, many questions I had and always with a positive attitude. Even when things got stressful for me, one contact with the team made me feel calm again. Highly recommend!
Jennifer Mitchell | New Berlin, WI
Jim and his team have been at this for years and it shows every step of the way. Jim was able to provide his insight and expertise and help me secure the best deal on selling my home. I have used them in the past and will continue to use them in the future!
Joe U. | Brookfield, WI
We've bought and sold a fair share of properties over the past five years through the Geracie team and every transaction has been a home run. Even your worst nightmare property *crack* That's the sound of Jim hitting it out of the park. Done deal. That's not just a clever slogan, that's the result Jim gets when he puts his passion, time, and talent to work for you. Also, the team he has working with him is top notch!
Aaron & Becky - Oconomowoc, WI
Jim and his team were always professional, kept in constant contact with us and guided us though the process. They posted photos that really enhanced our home. We had an accepted offer well above asking price in only two days during the week of Christmas. We sold during Coronavirus and they had many protocols in place to reduce in person visits and help us feel safe when potential buyers viewed our home. In short, they made the process Jim and his team gave us valuable advice the made the process quick and efficient.
Maria M. | Brown Deer, WI
I trusted Jim and I am so thankful I did. He was always available and spent hours at the house making sure I understood everything. He has amazing connections. No joke in 4 days he scheduled 60+ private showings and an open house. On day 5, I recieved multiple offers above asking. It’s no surprise they are number #1.
Shawn K. | Elm Grove, WI
We had a home in Bayside that we needed to sell. It was just the right time for us. From the first call, Mr. Jim Geracie was able to clearly explain the process to us. Jim made several key recommendations that were very important for the sale. We recognized the house needed a little bit of more work than originally thought. We followed his advised to the tee and trusted his judgment. Jim was very honest. We committed to the sale and proceeded with the repairs. When he said, the house is ready for the MLS we said “let’s do this”. The offers kept piling on over the span of two days since the first open house. It was amazing and exactly as he predicted it. On the third day, we accepted an offer. It was that simple. All the work done was well worth it. It has been a week since closing and cannot say enough how thankful we are of having our house sold. Everything went flawless through the closing which by the way was done all online. Mr. Jim Geracie and his team are very knowledgeable about the housing market in the area. They truly know what they are doing. Based on the above statements, we strongly recommend Mr. Jim Geracie and his excellent team from Realty Executives.
Nestor E. | Bayside, WI
The Jim Geracie Team was a HUGE blessing to my husband and I. The entire staff team was quick to communicate, engaged, and truly invested in our home-buying experience. They not only found us our dream home, but provided endless support and education along the way, tailored to our specific situation and needs. I cannot recommend this team enough. They cared about us as people, not just customers, and truly went above and beyond in unique ways for us.
Emma M. | Marion, WI
Right away Jim answered all our questions to relieve any concerns we had and gave us confidence in a process we were unfamiliar with. He was quick with meeting us and explained the process in a professional manner that left us very confident! His team worked seamlessly through out the whole process, staying very on top of communication and negotiations. Jim sold our home way faster and for more money than we expected! He was kind, professional, knowledgeable and we would use no one else to sell or buy a home in the future! Jim and his team are who you want on your side!
Eric & Ann | Waukesha, WI
Jim and Jill and the entire Geracie Staff were recommended to us by our attorney. They were delighted to work with us, allowing adequate time to inclusively discuss the sale of a condo which was new to us. They efficiently proceeded to evaluate current market value, setting up competitive pricing for our Brookfield area. Jill utilized existing furniture along with hers to create a modern, eye-catching staging with her extremely helpful and professional team. This was an included feature in the selling process. The Geracie Staff (Jordin, Lynn, Wendy, Lynda, Grace and Amelia) were extremely communicative, allowing us to track daily showings, answering all questions pre and post- sale that we had, and referring to Jim when necessary. Our family was truly happy with the care, genuine concern and extra time given, so that our selling experience went quickly and smoothly.
L. Piessens | Brookfield, WI
They were able to help with staging and getting the best deal possible for us during a crazy time for everyone.
Daniel G.
It's been more than a year since we purchased our house through Team Jim Geracie. We are still enjoying our home. It didn't take long for us to find the house that fit what I was looking form. There were some challenging contingencies to work through with the seller and my team dealt with them to help guide us all to a close. Well done! I've bought and sold houses through Team Geracie, exclusively.
Frank and Christina
The initial meeting was informative and understanding, and helped up price our home at a level that was reasonable but maximized our price. They encouraged us to get to the market at the right time, and did a wonderful job advising us on preparation and staging of the house. Throughout the showing process they were responsive and helpful. When the offers came in Jim did a great job of getting a maximum offer with very clean terms that made our decision to accept easy. Then in the process of preparing for closing they are providing great support.
I used Realty Executives (Jim Geracie) to sell my home and he was outstanding. Jim had been referred to a friend, the friend referred him to me, and I won't hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends as Jim took extra steps to address my concerns and solve my specific problems with my home. His knowledge of what it takes to sell a home is so solid, that I felt secure through the whole process. All throughout the negotiations and closing Jim and his excellent team were there to quickly handle any issues that came up. It was a pleasure working with the Jim Geracie team. They are hard-working, experienced and friendly. They kept us informed and were great hand-holders during the entire process.
Karma R. | Greenfield, WI
Jim listed my house. My overall impression is that he is exceptionally professional, and passionate about his profession. Milwaukee, for most of the time, is buyer’s market. A good agent like Jim does make a difference along the selling process. Merely being familiar with the local housing market is far from enough for a top agent. A top agent, like Jim, needs to be able to help his clients maintain control throughout the process. Jim is always willing to go the extra mile for his clients. If you know exactly what you want, working with Jim will be particularly efficient because Jim’s decades-long committing real estate practice distinguishes him. My house didn’t get sold without drama. The first offer fell apart due to unreasonable requests from the buyer after inspection. Jim was there to help me get everything back on track swiftly. It is all about taking control. You cannot control the market state, but you can control your own situation.
Y | Bayside, WI
From start to finish - Jim and his team did nothing but exceed our expectations. The original explanation of the process was fantastic, a fair asking price was set. His team staged the place beautifully. The first day on the market, we had 19 showings and more importantly 9 offers with most above our asking price.
K. Michael B. | Milwaukee, WI
I have purchased three properties with the Geracies, they make what could be a stressful buying process so easy and fun! Their experience stands out amongst other realtors and has saved me both money and frustration.
Jeremy P. | Milwaukee, WI
They were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. As first time homebuyers, my husband and I didn’t know much about what to look for and Jill and Lisa were EXTREMELY knowledgeable, friendly, informative, and prompt. They not only went above and beyond to equip us with the information we needed to make great decisions, but they were extremely thorough in their research and ultimately landed us our dream home! They also provided us with a list of recommendations (inspectors, contractors, etc.) through the process that all proved to be extremely professional and great to work with. Jill and Lisa made themselves available at a moments notice, as well as helped us identify what was important to us in our home and what was not as necessary. For someone like me, I like a lot of communication and urgency and I always felt like the Geracie team was one step ahead in fulfilling our needs. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better first time home buying experience, the Geracie team was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and we have them to thank for finding us our first home! Thank you Jim, Jill, Lisa, and the rest of the Geracie team... we absolutely loved working with you!
Nina B. | Whitefish Bay, WI
He pursued the sale of our home with great care, integrity, tact, responsiveness, intentionality, and effort; it was a joy to have him as our realtor, and I would reach out to his team without hesitation if we were to move back to Milwaukee.
Guy & Leah | Milwaukee, WI
My husband and I were impressed with Jim Geracie from the onset of our first meeting with him. He was patient with all our questions and had wonderful suggestions on how to stage our home before putting it up for sale. Jim's wife Jill staged our home and did a wonderful job, what a positive difference it made! We had an offer to purchase within a week of listing our home. We then had the pleasure of working with the rest of the Jim Geracie Team who provided us a timeline of events from the offer to purchase to closing. The entire team was so professional and helpful and informative throughout the process that we can't say enough how seamless this all went for us!
