We know the home buying experience can be fraught with mystery. Our experienced agents will leverage expertise, local market knowledge, and key industry partnerships to ease you through the process of finding your dream home. We’ve been down this road before, so we’ll first ask the necessary questions and gather the important data we need to kick off journey to home ownership. Let’s get started!
At this stage, our job is to maneuver all the financial pieces to ensure you’re on strong financial footing when that dream home becomes available. Our recommended network of lenders and financial experts will help tighten up your credit, determine exactly how much you can afford for both a home and a down payment, and make sure you’re formally pre-approved for a loan, all with the goal of solidifying your position as a serious market contender.
Now for the fun part! We’ll help you draw up a “wish list” of everything you’re looking for in not just your new home, but your new community as well. We’ll match your must-haves with your budget and then draw on our local expertise and network of industry colleagues to help you find a place that’s everything you wished for. Shopping for a home is exciting, so just have fun with it!
You’ve found “the one” and you’re ready to make an offer! We’ll help you formulate a fair, data-driven purchase offer based on in-depth market analysis, and draw up the purchase agreements. Then, we’ll leverage smart negotiating skills to guide you through contingencies and ensure you don’t spend any more than you need to. And, should things not work out with one offer, we’ll be ready with a game plan for the next.
Once your offer is selected, you can elect to inspect the property. If you do this, we’ll send an independent licensed inspector to fully check a home’s condition. Because it detects issues that aren’t apparent on a walk-through, a home inspection is a powerful negotiating tool and the best insurance you can ever get on a property. If issues arise, we’ll work with you to develop strategies on how best to proceed. You’re getting close, and you don’t want to set yourself up for a houseful of headaches.
This part can get complicated, but we know from experience how to keep the crucial final stages of loan approval from becoming overwhelming. We’ll regularly monitor the progress of your transaction and keep you fully aware of unexpected funds that might be expected from you. We’ll also work with your lender to make sure all the necessary paperwork is complete as we move closer to a smooth closing.
Making it through escrow can seem like a mountain of details but the view from the top is worth it. Expect to sign a ton of paperwork before you get there, and we’ll hold your hand through every step of the process. A few days before closing, we’ll conduct a final walk-through, and then, once both parties sign closing statements, the keys are yours and we’ll celebrate your new home and your new life!

Could not have asked for more out of Markus. Made the home-buying process for this first-time home owner very smooth. Markus went above and beyond in exceeding my expectations of him as my realtor. I will not hesitate to work with Markus again when it comes to buying and selling a home.— Zachary S.
Markus and his team were great to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable about homes and is very, very thorough when going through a home. He will help point out some things that maybe you'd miss, especially if you have on "ruby glasses." He gives great advice along the way and and really makes sure its the right fit for you.— Joshua L.
I had a great experience selling my house with Markus as my realtor! Markus and his team are extremely prompt and attentive with any questions or concerns I had. He really looks out for what is in the best interest of his client. I highly recommend Markus for your real estate needs! It was a very pleasant and stress-free experience!— Marcy C.
I have purchased many properties and I must say Markus was exceptional and handled the sale professionally beyond my expectations. Markus ensured the purchase went as smooth as possible and went above and beyond. His team crossed every T and dotted every I to be sure nothing was missed. I couldn't recommend or praise him and his team enough.— Christi S.
Between meeting Markus and spending most our time with Haylee we had a smooth first time homebuying experience. We picked horrible time in the market to buy a house but Haylee took us through every place we could see at our pace and on our busy schedule and within our budget. She gave sound advice when it came to negotiations and we got our house!— Sorina M.
We have relied on Markus and his team at Savaglio and Co Realty for the purchase of three properties now. He is reliable, quick and has always gone above and beyond our expectations when working with us. We would highly recommend Markus and his team to anybody looking to sell/buy a home. We have found our lifetime realtor for any property purchasing needs.— Jordan S.
Markus has been attentive and knowledgeable throughout our association. His familiarity with the city and trades and services in the area has greatly facilitated our home search and relocation planning. He has been available and responsive, helping us to identify properties, “view” them virtually, and craft offers from a distance. We feel we can trust him and those to whom he refers us. He is personable, articulate, and patient and we have enjoyed working with him. We would definitely recommend Markus and Savaglio Realty to a friend.— Julian W.
I cannot say enough positive things about Markus Savaglio! He has helped guide a pair of naive first time homebuyers through a long-distance home search as we get ready to move across the country to Sheboygan. Markus was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and flexible during our entire housing search. When we finally found the place we loved, he got our offer accepted in under a day! I don’t think there’s another agent out there who works half as hard as Markus does. I would highly recommend him to anyone and definitely plan to work with him again in the future!— Evan C.
Markus was energetic and positive the moment we met him. So confident he could sell our house for a premium price. We interviewed other agents who valued our home less than Markus and EXP Realty. He introduced us to a professional stager and gave some great advice and had the home looking like a million dollars before it hit the market. The home sold the first weekend and at a premium price. We are confident using Markus and his EXP team, was the difference in getting more money, much more money than if we went with other brokers. My wife and I would definitely recommend Markus and his EXP team to anyone looking to sell their home.— Jeffrey L.
I speak for my entire family when I say that Markus made the sale of my parent's house and therefore subsequent move a seamless, worry-free experience. His value goes far beyond just the sale of the home. He offered many value-added options (a pre- and post-sale cleaner, a stager, a great recommendation for a mover) that quite frankly we had never even thought of, but made the entire experience so much easier than anticipated. Moving can be stressful, but with Markus in your corner, that stress level goes way down for so many reasons. He was empathetic, understanding, compassionate, professional and all-in-all a great guy. Integrity means a lot to u...— Kim V.
