What clients are saying...
Doug was extremely helpful in finding my the right agent to sell my home; even when I'm across the country. The realtor he found me was extremely experienced and knowledgeable on everything; inclusive of knowing the entire condo community I was in and even having experience with the units in my condo complex. This made my life as a homeowner selling their condo, so much easier and less stressful. He also checked in many times to make sure the process was going smoothly as well at to make sure I was happy with the agent he had recommended. I was very thankful for his help and would definitely work with him again!
Doug was an amazing agent to work with. He was knowledgeable, honest, and always working in our best interest. Whenever we had a question, Doug was readily available. He is truly invested in his clients and is a wonderfully genuine person. Would 100% work with him again, if he hadn't already found us our dream home!
We started working with Doug in the spring of 2022 when we were living in Boston. We had plans to move back to Wisconsin in the summer and started getting to know the house search process through many phone calls with Doug. In the months following, Doug was great in adjusting plans and timelines according to the many things we had going on at the time such as planning our wedding. Doug had a great balance of remaining connected but giving us space to focus on our wedding during that time. After we were married, we were ready to dedicate more time and energy towards our house search. We had a phone call with Doug and ended it with, when can we start seeing houses? and he told us we could that very day if we wanted. A few minutes after ending that phone call, we had one we were interested in, called up Doug, and he scheduled us a showing later that day! We dug into showings and making offers and during that time, we were impressed with Doug's responsiveness, patience, kindness, knowledge, and professionalism. He would listen to what we wanted while also guiding us when we needed it. As first time home buyers, we had a lot to learn, and Doug gave so much of his time to just educate us on the housing market, trends in the area, home appreciation, and a ton more. With each house we wanted to submit an offer on, Doug would also create a home value summary which included a ton of information from surrounding properties. The information from the summary and the information we would get from phone calls with Doug helped us create a competitive offer that we were comfortable with. After experiencing a few declined offers, Doug sent us a property that we had a good chance of getting after it had been sitting on the market for too long due to being priced too high. Doug worked hard and navigated many negotiations and re-negotiations for us and we came out successful as a result! The home we now own because of Doug is beautiful in so many ways and we could not be more happy with our experience! From spring of 2022 to October of 2023, Doug remained dedicated, motivated, and excited to work with us. Thank you so much Doug!
When my realtor failed, after repeated requests, to contact Doug regarding a condo I was interested in, I called him directly and within an hour I had met with him and drafted an offer, which was accepted later that same day. I would not be happily settling in to my new home without Doug. Throughout the process he has been helpful, responsive, caring, and just a great guy. His efforts amazingly reduced the stress of the home buying/selling process. Five stars and more!
Doug was a tremendous help throughout the process of selling the condo. He kept us informed and up-to-date on what we needed to know and was always willing to work with our schedules. We were so pleased that the condo sold so quickly, and for the full asking price. Doug made the whole experience much easier than we expected.
Doug was (is) the most helpful realtor we could have hoped for. He was always responding to my texts (or phone calls) no matter what day it was or what time of day it was. He related well so we understood what was going on. He gave helpful advice. He did this all willingly, you can tell he enjoys his line of work. I have recommended him to friends and family. If I could do this all over again, I would choose Doug to represent us again, gladly. Five stars!!!!
Doug did a lot of work to help find us the perfect home, and managed to do this on a tight budget. We had SERIOUS time constraints and he went above and beyond to align his schedule with our schedule. We moved from Georgia and had never been to Milwaukee before. He gave us excellent advice and information about the areas we were looking in and was very keen to point out issues when we toured the homes. He kept us from buying some pretty crappy homes, that we probably would of been interested if it wasn't for him. We're new homeowners and every step of the way he handled everything for us, short of paying for the house himself lol. Not to mention he is a very funny guy and extraordinarily patient. Overall he is a great realtor and we will definitely be using him to buy and sell homes in the future!
In a volatile market where realtors were choosing not to work with clients like us because we had contingencies, Doug gladly stepped up to help us find our next home. We were not easy clients, needing to sell an existing home prior to buying and struggling to know what we wanted from a new home, but Doug delivered! This is our second time working with Doug to buy and sell. He is personable, flexible, and a great communicator. We saw many homes in several different areas before being able to narrow down what we needed from our new home. Doug was incredibly patient with us all along the way. We are very grateful to Doug for helping us to get top dollar for the home we sold and find the new, beautiful home we will raise our family in!
Doug's calm professionalism was most helpful in the midst of the difficulties with my home sale. His advice and flexibility made for a smoother and more successful sale than I thought possible. Thanks again, Doug!
Doug was great ! He answered our questions thoroughly and was very patient. He truly was looking out for our best interest in choosing the right home to fill our needs and wants. He is a great representative of Shorewest Realty. Mary Jo & Bill Erdman
Doug was great to work again. This is the second house we bought using him. He seems to always be available for showings which is very nice as I was finding numerous houses to look at before he had a chance to look for me. I was very proactive. He made the process of buying and selling easy. He will be honest and straight forward with you and will let you know what he thinks to keep you well informed so you can make the best decision for yourself.
Doug was wonderful to work with during a stressful summer of house hunting! He was always available to answer questions and made scheduling our showings his top priority. We appreciate all of his help in finding our new home and selling our previous home!
Re: Doug, he is aggressive, he stays on top of things, knows his stuff, and yet finds time to enjoy a joke or two.. He and I worked well in tandem. I was glad i had Doug as my go to guy....5 Stars seems about right... Dale Becker
Doug really helped us through our first home buying experience and was very patient with us.. He is detailed and thorough, explaining everything to us every step of the way. We appreciated his knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend him!
Doug was a great help to my girlfriend and I while we were looking for our first home. He was patient with us when we were confused and always listened when we told him what we were looking for. He was always profesional and punctual when going to showings or answering emails. Doug made our first home buying experience possible. Thanks Doug!
Doug was super great and patient throughout the whole process. We went through a unique financing company and Doug was patient and understanding the entire time. He was always available and reassured us when we were getting frustrated with our financing company. He took everything in stride and was fantastic the entire time! I highly recommend Doug for his services!
We were first time home sellers. Doug was very helpful and guided us with such professional care. Answered all questions and concerns. He was very patient and understanding with us! We would work with Doug again and refer him to others. He is excellent in his field. We thank Doug for making the selling of our home an pleasant experience.
Doug is fantastic! He made selling our home very easy and stressfree! We were able to accept an offer within just a few days. We are so pleased with Doug's professionalism and dedication!
Doug is one of a kind! He was very informative and available through the whole process of buying our home. His personality is professional but relaxed at the same time. His honesty, dedication, and knowledge is superior. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family!
Doug is a fantastic realtor and person who helped us buy a house (and sell ours fast). He kept us informed and made every step along the way clear and understandable. Doug is very easy to get along with and any questions we had were answered quickly, honestly and professionally. He is by far the best realtor out there who does his job well, clearly knows what he is doing and genuinely cares about his clients. I highly recommend Doug.
Doug was great to work with. He's honest, fair, confident and has a good sense of humor. He got our house sold in 24 hours for asking price, and that to me is amazing as he knows what he is doing. We would definitely do business again with him and I highly recommend Doug.
Doug did a great job.
Doug was absolutely amazing! From the very first phone call to the last transaction, Doug was thorough, transparent, and detail oriented. He kept us informed throughout the selling process. We really felt like Doug advocated for us and had our best interest in mind. We would highly recommend Doug for buying and/or selling. Thank you, Doug!
We had a very good experience working with Doug to sell our house. He is extremely responsive, helpful, and thorough. He was able to answer all of our questions and concerns. We were very satisfied with how quickly Doug was able to help us get our home on the market, and had an accepted offer in just a couple of days! Doug really goes above and beyond for his clients. There is no doubt that he is very dedicated to his clients and his business and that really shows. I'd be happy to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!
Over the last 5 years, Doug has helped us purchase two homes and sell one home as well. He is incredibly patient and knowledgeable. We very much appreciate his help through the years.
Doug Bartmann did a wonderful job when listing our home! We listed it in the dead of winter thinking that it was going to sit for a while. But with the first two weeks we had over 20 showings and a offer! We where shocked at how quickly it sold! Then shortly after we accepted a offer on our home he was able to find two homes that were exactly what we wanted! After we put an offer in on the one they accepted our offer within two hours! He was able to sell our home and find us a new one in just a matter of weeks. When the closing arrived everything went very smoothly and no problems arose. He did an amazing job at selling our house very quickly and finding us our dream home! We recommend Doug to all our family and friends because he looks at the little things and goes the extra mile to sell your house and was willing to take the time and do the research and find us our dream home without taking us to tons of houses and have a lengthy search.
One of my favorite things about Doug when he helped my wife and I buy our dream home was that it was obvious Doug cared about us and wanted us to be happy. A lot of realtors see you as just a client they can make money off of, but not Doug. He made us feel comfortable, answered our multitude of questions, was very knowledgeable, and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Doug's priority was to find us our dream home and he delivered. I'd highly recommend Doug for anyone looking for a realtor.
