Jen Stauter
"Understanding that Real Estate is a service industry has helped me to create lasting relationships with my clients. I love real estate and want to do the best job I can for my clients."
A second generation Realtor, I graduated from LaFollette High School and went on to get a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration Marketing from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Right after graduating, I joined my family’s real estate business with Stark Company Realtors, and the rest is history! I have dedicated much of my career to growing and expanding my real estate know-how. Establishing Victory Properties, LLC a real estate investment company in 1999 and Marquee Management Services,LLC in 2006 to include investment properties and rentals in my business. I use my extensive real estate knowledge to help my clients with a number of real estate needs, from selling their house or condo, luxury real estate, short sales and foreclosures to first-time home buyers and move up buyers. Past clients, referrals and repeat business currently comprise 83% of my business.
Besides the fact that my family’s roots are in the Madison real estate industry, I decided to enter the field because I truly enjoy helping people. Nothing gives me more joy than being able to watch a first-time home buyer’s excitement as they go through their first transaction or being able to help those struggling to keep their home get rid of a stressful burden. As an Accredited Staging Professional(ASP), I help sellers prepare their home for showings in order to display their property in the best possible way to get the best price in the shortest time frame.
My other designations include Broker Associate, Accredited Buyer’s Representative(ABR), Graduate of the Real Estate Institute(GRI), Council of Residential Specialists(CRS), Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource(SFR), Broker’s Price Opinion Resource(BPOR), Military Relocation Specialist (MRP), member of the Diamond Guild of Stark Company Realtors and a Professional Standards Hearing Panel Member. My extensive list of credentials demonstrates my passion for the industry.
When I'm not helping people buy, sell, rent or invest in real estate, you can find me running, ATVing or spending time in Cottage Grove with my husband, Matt and two boys, Caden and Carson and our golden retriever, Sadie.
* Client Testimonials:
"It was such a pleasure to work with Jen - out of all the Realtors I've dealt with both buying and selling homes over the last 30 years, she was by far the best. I interviewed 6 different agents before listing my home, and Jen was the only one who combined the knowledge of the market with the ability to find creative solutions to stage and make my home more attractive to buyers with the lowest investment of time and money from me. She made the entire sales process seamless and helped me negotiate multiple offers for my home to get me the most money. I would recommend her to anyone selling a home in the Madison area - she is simply the best!"
"After meeting with 3 Realtors, we decided to work with Jen for the sale of our condo and purchase of our single-family home because she was personable and had good knowledge of the areas we were looking at (East Madison, Sun Prairie, Windsor, Deforest, Cottage Grove). We took her advice on staging our home and had an offer two days after our first open house. Within 7 days, we had an accepted offer to sell our condo and an accepted offer to buy our new house. It was a whirlwind week and Jen was great to guide us through every step and meet our unexpectedly urgent needs. She was always responsive, honest and friendly."
"Sold my home with Jen and Matt, they made the experience very straight forward. From the very impressive local knowledge of the market and conditions that may affect the home selling process. This made the process very logical and gave a solid expectation of what to anticipate as an outcome. Was able to game plan to that expectation. They were highly responsive, with the home selling process - timing becomes critical and they hit every event with the up most immediate response - guiding me through each step in the process. Definitely realized why Realtors are so important in selling your home and the home buying experience too! Thank you Jen and Matt - I can confidently say "the outcome would not have gone so well without your help."
