“Alise @Roost Realty provided a top notch, experience! Went above and beyond to sell our home quickly, easily, and professionally. If you are planning to sell your home, choose Roost Realty. Thank you for everything!”

“Alise is fantastic and makes everything so easy. Having both bought and sold a home with Alise’s help, I have hugely benefitted from her expertise. She’s kind, friendly, and approachable, and she’ll walk you through the process step by step.”

“Alise’s expertise made the process of selling our property easy, from reviewing what updates to complete before placing our property on the market to signing the paperwork at closing. Her clear communication, excellent organization, and knowledge of Madison markets are outstanding.”

“Alise provided great guidance and support for the sale of our home. Market analysis, pricing, staging, and marketing approach were thorough and coordinated. The result was a faster than expected sale very near our asking price during COVID market uncertainty. Alise is a pleasure to work with and highly recommended.”

“Alise Wasserburger represented me in the recent sale of a four unit apartment building. She came highly recommended by close friends who previously utilized her services.

I found Alise to be flawless in all areas. Her knowledge responsiveness, and communication skills were superb. She also went above and beyond my expectations when a glitch threatened to interfere with the closing of the sale.

From my perspective Alise Wasserburger provides excellent service. I will be contacting her again in the future when the need arises.”

“We had an excellent experience with Alise from start to finish! She is efficient, friendly, and an excellent advocate.”

“This is the second time I have bought and sold a house with Roost Realty, so I was already impressed by this realtor. But Alise exceeded my expectations. She does her homework, knows the area real estate market extremely well, stays on top of my many requests and requirements without fail, and displays expert negotiation skills. When a lower than expected offer came in, she convinced us to hold firm and we got the results we wanted. I would definitely recommend Roost and Alise to anyone who wants a smart, tough, and responsive home expert in their corner.”

“We have worked with two realtors from Roost Realty, Alise Wasserburger and Jessica Riphenburg. Both have been consummate professionals and trusted partners. We feel their involvement not only eased the process but was value-added. At this point we wouldn’t work with anyone else.”

“First class performance!”

“We would strongly encourage anybody looking to sell their home in the Madison area to consider working with Alise Wasserburger. The time, effort and dedication that Alise put into selling our home was impressive. She helped us prepare our home for sale by providing advice on staging and linking us up with reasonably-priced contractors. She was always accessible and answered our questions and concerns almost immediately. Because we were preparing for a cross-country move, we were under significant time pressures to sell our house quickly. Alise made sure our house was broadly advertised and held multiple open houses to ensure that prospective buyers had a chance to see our home. Alise combines tech-savvy with good old-fashioned hard work, and she was a pleasure to work with.”

“Alise was a delight to work with. In the beginning she broke down the entire process to me; which can seem overwhelming at first. She helped me through each step, and explained any questions I had. She even went as far to coordinate contractors at my condo, who she met with! Once I received an offer, I respected her honest opinion on how I should proceed; she truly had my best interest in mind. She was always accessible, professional and very friendly! I would highly recommend her.”

“Working with Roost Realty this summer was an amazing experience. Had a quick unscheduled move come up. Jessica and her team were incredible. They kept me in mind as my world turned upside down. As a very organized person having to move in under six weeks, they kept on task, were an excellent resource, response to any and all issues that naturally are a part of any transaction, and went above and beyond with unexpected situations that came up. I don’t know what I would have done without Jessica!! Am indebted!”

“When I decided to sell my home of 22 years, a friend suggested that I sell it myself. “It’s easy”, she said. Well, I am really glad that I didn’t take her advice because I can’t imagine selling it without the Roost Team. They were so helpful and professional throughout the whole ordeal. They held my hand on many occasions, calling me back during the weekend or late at night when I was frustrated or concerned about something. There were many “burps” along the way that they helped me navigate and I have made some new friends to top it off.

I have sold two other homes in the past and never had the kind of help that they gave me. Their attention to detail and patience was truly awesome! Thank you Roost Team!”

“Working with Jessica and Alise has been a joy! Their knowledge of the real estate market in Madison is incredible. We have sold two homes in the last three years and each time they were able to accurately price our home and sell it within the first week. It is important to note that one home was on the west side and one was in the wonderful Emerson East neighborhood. They know Madison!

In the last five years we have purchased three houses. Jessica and Alise helped make the process fun and as stress free as possible. We moved from another state, so the first house involved looking over the course of a year. Jessica patiently showed us houses every time we came to town, never knowing if we were really ever going to buy a house. Once we found the first house, she gave us terrific advice about our offer. Our move to the east side involved a completely different set of must-haves. After months of searching, Jessica showed us the house we eventually bought the first day it came on the market. When we decided to move again, it was hard to leave my dream house, but I knew Alise would help us find the perfect ranch, and of course she did!

To anyone looking for either a buyer’s agent or a seller’s agent, Jessica and Alise are great at what they do because they care. Their knowledge and professionalism are important, but it is their caring that sets them apart!”

“Our house sold less than 48 hours after it was on the market. We had five offers, and they were all above list price. With results like this, it might seem obvious to say that we had a fantastic experience working with Jessica and Alise, but in our case, “fantastic” is an understatement.

After spending an evening going through each room in our house, Jessica and Alise gave us a detailed list of staging recommendations, which ultimately allowed us to list our home at a higher price. Some of their suggestions were such small details that we never would have considered, but certainly made a difference in the appearance of our home. They hired a professional photographer whose photos made our house look amazing. And, with Jessica’s blog post highlighting all of the great things that made our house AND our neighborhood a fantastic place to live, our online presence was outstanding. We could not be more thrilled with the way our house was marketed.

Jessica and Alise are incredibly personable and professional. As first-time home-sellers, we had many questions, and Jessica and Alise patiently walked us through every step of the process. They are both so incredibly knowledgeable of the real estate market, and we are so glad that we had them on our team.

We are extremely happy that we decided to work with Jessica and Alise and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home in the Madison area.”

“Alise did an excellent job helping me both find a new home and sell my existing home. She’s extremely responsive and worked very well with my schedule. I really appreciated how Alise developed a nuanced understanding of my particular preferences & goals. She was strongly focused on helping me find and get the best possible house.

With the sale of my existing home, she gave me good and actionable advice for prep, staging, and listing. She worked hard to keep our listing fresh and appealing to drive views. She was continuously engaged following up on potential leads.

Offers, paperwork, and negotiations all went very smoothly. There were no significant surprises, mistakes, or process complications. I was very satisfied with the outcomes of both the purchase and sales negotiations.

I’d recommend Alise to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Madison.”

“Thank you Alise Wasserburger and Jessica Riphenburg from Roost Realty for making the sale of my late mother’s duplex a short and successful endeavor! Their expertise and commitment to provide the service and support I was looking for was exceptional. They guided me through what was my first experience as a seller and the sale of what other realtors might have viewed as a difficult task.

Jessica and Alise’s experience was crucial in establishing a hit list of task and a reasonable timeline for putting the property on the market. Their recommendations were invaluable for focusing my time and effort spent on getting ready for that. Alise and Jessica went the extra mile to accentuate what really made the property special; my mother had spent the last 30 years planting an extensive garden of perennials and the listing featured a map of all of the wonderful plantings. Their marketing strategy was right on and I couldn’t have imagined the interest this property received in a very short time!

As it turns out their recommendations, such as doing a pre-sale home inspection, having quotes from good contractors ready, and connecting me to reliable contractors for fixing up the property, were invaluable. I fully credit Roost Realty for the short time it took to receive an accepted offer and can’t thank Alise and Jessica enough for the constant and proactive support I received throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them for for your real estate needs in the Madison area!”

“What really set Roost realty apart, specifically Alise, was her ability to think outside the box and her approach to treating my house as her own.

She always went the extra mile to help set my house apart from others. For example, she left a binder of information that highlighted the unique attractions specific to my neighborhood. Additionally, she did a wonderful job staging my house. I appreciated her prompt responses as well as her kindness and thoughtfulness throughout the whole house selling process.

Selling a house is stressful, but Alise really helped alleviate my stress by having my best interest in mind at all times. I knew I could trust her to help me the receive the best deal. I highly recommend Alise for anyone looking to buy or sell a house!”

“My husband and I really had an enjoyable experience working with Jessica and Alise from roost realty. They were always available for any questions. They were also very receptive to feedback. They led us through the experience of selling our first home with their realty expertise but also allowed us a day in how we wanted to market our home. They put together a great hand out for prospective buyers not only about our home but also the great attributes about our particular neighborhood. We sold our home quickly and would list with them again.”

“I chose to work with Roost after speaking with several other realtors. My first contact was with Jessica; she asked me what was important to me and she identified with my story. Jessica offered advice, but she also took notes, listened, and asked questions. This was important to me as I was already living in another state so I needed someone trustworthy and savvy to take care of my home.

The groundwork with Jessica allowed her partner, Alise to take over and shine . She offered an open house, showcased unique items in the home with hand written notes, and even lit a fire in the wood burning stove to warm the space.

The house sold in two days above asking price, and everything from that point was smooth. I am a carpenter, I have been remodeling Madison homes for 12 years so I appreciate those who really know homes... I highly recommend Roost!
”

“Working with Alise and Dave was so incredibly fun! They got to know us and what we were looking for, and we felt fully involved in the search for our perfect home! The amazing work they did to help us stage our own home had it sold after 4 days on the market! They’re an awesome team and we couldn’t have done it without their expertise or dedication!”
