April Johnson- Rooted Real Estate WI - Madison

It's a beautiful time of year in Madison, WI! Truly my favorite month! Everything is lush and green, the lakes are lovely, and the days are long. It's been a busy start to June at ROOTED! Celebrating 2 accepted offers for buyers this week! It's still competitive out there, but opportunities exist!

🏡JUST SOLD!🏡 Big congratulations to my buyers! We secured this Fitchburg condo for under asking price! With a spacious layout and modern finishes, I know they are going to love it! It has the most beautiful kitchen with cherry cabinets (so many!) and so much counterspace.... perfect for holiday cookie mass production! 😁

🏡 JUST SOLD!! 🏡

It’s time for a new chapter for 2001 Melrose St. I helped dear friends buy this as their first home 7 years ago. Their family grew and they've recently settled into their next home with more space (and a pool!) The buyers of Melrose are also starting here with their first home! The closing was so much fun as the buyers and sellers discovered so many things in common! From having worked together at W***y St. Co-op, to enjoying the same music festivals, to sharing the same dog walker! I'm sure the new owners will fit right in as the neighborhood welcomes you! Congratulations to all parties and cheers to new chapters! 💞🍾

Ready for the next house? If you're thinking about buying and selling at the same time and wondering where to start, reach out! There is more than one way to do it, you have options and we can coordinate both seamlessly like we did for Sinan. Thank you Sinan for your kind words!

"Above and beyond doesn’t even cover it. April assisted me with negotiations, finding contractors for minor repairs, and following up even after the sale was completed. Communication was amazing throughout. I really liked how April explained everything in easy language. It made me feel confident about every decision, I never had to wonder what was going on; she kept me informed the whole time. Always quick to respond, even on weekends. I really appreciated that it made a huge difference. Closing went better than I expected. April kept things on track and made the whole process feel easy. I would definitely work with April again and confidently recommend to work with her as a buyer or seller."

JUST SOLD! FIVE competing offers and $30,000 over asking price. Congrats to our sellers! There is a lot of variation within the current market right now. What works for one property may not work for another. Looking for a customized listing plan and advice you can trust? Reach out anytime.

From the first interview with these two, I knew I wanted to work with them! KJ, Neil, & Duke (giant lab and 100% good boy! -not pictured) were busting out of the seams in their 600 sq.ft. cute northside bungalow. We found them a sprawling mid-century ranch on the westside, got their offer accepted, staged the old place, hit the market and had 5 offers within days. I'm so happy for them and I have so much appreciation and gratitude for moments like these!





"April is the BEST. She handled both selling our old home and purchasing our new one. It truly could not have gone more smoothly. From the very beginning she was incredibly prepared, highly responsive, and set clear expectations. We were never in the dark, and always had a sounding board for questions, comments and concerns. She made herself incredibly available time and time again, especially in clutch negotiating moments. Her genuine personality, kind demeanor, professionalism, and comprehensive knowledge of the Madison real estate market really set her apart from other realtors we interviewed. She also proactively offered recommendations for every single thing we needed during and after buying our new house. She quickly recommended inspectors, chimney inspectors, floor installers, electricians, plumbers, and drywall installers, etc. We never even had to ask for these referrals, which was super helpful. April also routinely overdelivered and underpromised: she wrote an offer that was almost immediately accepted (our first) and negotiated a $20k price drop. She then sold our old home for $24k above asking price within days of it being on the market. We would highly recommend April to anyone considering buying or selling a home in the Madison area in a heartbeat. Thank you April!"

JUST SOLD! Not every listing is in the same market. We have the tools and networks to help our clients analyze, best prepare for, and pivot for each situation. This home was in a market where listings were sitting for weeks and sometimes months. We set proper expectations, strategic pricing, and staged beautifully (it helps to have sellers with an eye for design willing to go the extra mile!) When we weren't hitting the right buyers, we reached out to our network of agents and found one outside the box. It took a minute, but the result was a clean offer with a quick closing that was a win-win for both sellers and buyers! This one was special too as I've now worked with these clients through four transactions!🥰
