I happened to stumble over M3 Realty through a random Zillow query, and I'm so glad I did. From the very first house Pat showed me, I was impressed by her knowledge and customer service. As a buyers agent, she pointed out problem areas or potential things to address. She knew about local codes and possible special assessments. She had my best interests in mind with each house she showed me - and there were a LOT of them. When I finally found the right house (2 1/2 yrs later), the deal almost fell through 3 days before closing when the underwriter had an issue with the deck (which had inspected fine). When Pat called me to tell me about the underwriter's issue, she already had a plan in place to address it. She and Martin quickly bought and installed some spindles on the deck railing - the very next day - and the closing proceeded as planned! I'm so grateful to them! I would HIGHLY recommend M3 Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell. My finance guy also commented that Pat was possibly the best realtor he'd ever worked with, and can't wait to do so again!
- K. CremaI was probably what a realtor would consider a worst case scenario buyer. I started looking at the market with a very low dollar amount (just a couple $X,000.00) for a down payment. That being said, the properties I first looked at were not the properties I saw myself raising a family in. I continued to save more money, a lot more, but the market kept rising and it seemed like i wasn't going to get ahead of it. This was upsetting to me, but Ben was always telling me "don't worry Mike, there's one out there for you, we are going to find it.." due to my low dollar starting, this took much time, as I needed save much more. 3 years later we found it! Talk about dedication! This guy is awesome. He didn't just want to sell me a house. Ben made sure it was the right one for me, and devoted a lot of his time to me to make sure I would be happy, and I am! Now I have my 3 bed, 1.5 bath, 2.5 car garage with driveway home I was dreaming of for those 3 long years. Thanks so much to the entire M3 team for making my dream come true!, and guiding me through the process with the most professional advise and demeanor. I will use only them going forward when I someday sell my home, and buy another house. Ben, and the M3 team are THE way to go. Thanks again for keeping me in a good situation, and being honest, and getting me where I wanted to be.
- Mike WollenbergAt exactly this time one year ago my husband and I were on our way to close on our first home. It probably shouldn't have taken me this long to sit down and write a review, but the last year has been very chaotic one. As anyone who has purchased a home knows, the experience is a stressful one and for a young couple with two young children and a limited budget it can also be a very intimidating process, that is why we feel so fortunate to have had Ben Mullikin taking care of us. While I'm sure other realtors may be just as knowledgeable as Ben, I guarantee you that you will not find another that is as enthusiastic, compassionate, and invested in making sure you find the home that is right for your family. While we were very impressed throughout the buying process, we were most impressed with how much the entire Mullikin family continues to care about having a lasting relationship with their clients. About two months to the day after closing on our new home we had major electrical damage done after a severe storm took a tree down outside our home. We had never had to hire an electrician or file a claim with the insurance company so we called Ben for advice. Not only did he provide us with a recommendation for a great electrician, but he came out to see our family that night with a touching card from the Mullikin family. We have enjoyed the last year in our home and look forward to many more, but when it comes time for us to look again we know that will be calling Ben!
- User 6592803We have used Pat in the past, and we will definitely use her in the future. She sold our parents condo in one day. She was very helpful and had great ideas on staging the property. She is very hard working and very knowledgeable of local real estate.
- User 0547154We chose Pat and team based on a friends recommendation. SHE WAS AWESOME! Selling and relocating is a busy time for anyone and Pat put forth a tremendous effort for us. She effectively guided us through our necessary decisions with smart suggestions. Pat clearly explained our options along with potential ramifications. Her local market knowledge proved invaluable. We were able to complete our sale in a timely and clean transaction! If only we could have had her expertise when we purchased in our new, out of state, location!
- diamonda6Selling your home, retiring and moving to another state are all stressful events in anyone's life. Pat's attention to detail from staging to researching to insure the best sell price to constant communication helped relieve a lot of my stress. She an ethical, honest, straight forward professional who I highly recommend if you want the best! Thanks Pat for all your help!
- J. MoskotPat Mullikin goes above and beyond when you go to sell your home. I can't say enough about the outstanding job that she does. We had Pat sell a four family and were so delighted with the job she did that we listed and sold our duplex with her too. You won't go wrong if you sell your home or buy your home with Pat Millikin. Thanks, Pat for the outstanding job you did for us!
- Carol DhenryI dealt with Pat and Ben. Both are personable and knowledgeable. Ben was our primary contact, and he proved himself to be someone who looks behind the listing language to get what isn't said. One of Ben's greatest skills is his ability to ask questions, assimilate the responses and then translate that into an efficient and effective search. The MLS is a vast sea; Ben will be your trusty navigator.We would recommend the Mullikins without reservation.
- radrabaI've known Martin for over 15 years and when it came time to look for my first home, I turned to him. The process was scary and a little overwhelming - choosing a house and getting a Mortgage (sounds so much more serious than Rent, right?). Martin was fantastic about explaining everything, every step of the way. The advice he gave me was completely in line with the advice I got from my parents. My mom works in the Mortgage Industry and she loved working with Martin through the entire process and the closing.Martin had great suggestions of places to look; wasn't pushy; understood my price range and desires for amenities, location, and feel of the home.I'm very happy with the end result and referred my sister, who also bought a home with Martin.
- D. OakesWe contacted Pat Mullikin based on her stellar reviews as a buyer's agent. We were quickly matched with Martin Mullikin who was able to guide us through the entire home buying process, including saving our closing from falling through. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to close on time and move into our first home before our current lease ended. He showed up for follow-up inspections when we couldn't be there and consistently helped us figure out what we needed and what was right for us. We will definitely be buying from Martin again, and given his incredible knowledge of the duplex and Milwaukee rental market, we really hit a home run calling the Mullikins!
- User 1525298The sale of the condo through Pat was an excellent experience. It was a difficult time for our family and her assistance was so much appreciated. I would highly recommend the Mullikin group to any buyer or seller.
- User 0202154We moved due to job transfer. Our house was on the market for 9 days and it sold! Pat walked us through every step with realistic expectations and ease! She is very easy to get in contact with, returns calls very quickly. Pat is very knowledgeable and professional. If I ever move back into the area, I know exactly who to contact first!
- Krista MeadorAs a builder, I get exposed to a lot of so called "professional realtors" most fall way short of my expectations, the Mullikin Team, NEVER. I have enjoyed working with Pat for over 15 years, she has always been my "go to gal" she has sold more than a dozen homes for me, one time she sold 2 homes for me in 5 days!! NOBODY beats Pat and her team.
- mtdbuildsMartin helped my fiance, Andy, and I find and purchase our first home. As first-time home buyers, the process was at times overwhelming and confusing, but Martin was always there to explain things and was always positive. I have a very type-A personality and was anxious for the whole process, but Martin's patience never ceased. He always answered phone calls and e-mails expeditiously, and I felt that he really cared about us as people and finding the right home for us. With Martin's assistance, Andy and I found a wonderful home in the area we were looking for and for a great price. Through the negotiation process, he always told us his honest opinion and that helped us to get a fair deal. We would recommend Martin to anyone looking for a home, especially first-time home buyers who sometimes need a little extra reassurance through the home-buying process. Someday, when we sell our home, we intend to work with Martin and the Mullikins again, because we trust them and their expertise.
- Caitlin WestBen Mullikin assisted us in our first home buying experience and we could not have asked for a more professional yet personable realtor! Ben listened to our wants and needs and helped us through the entire process of narrowing down our choices. After many home showing in which Ben demonstrated his exceptional talent of patience, we finally found the right house. There were multiple offers placed on the property by other buyers but Ben ensured that we placed a competitive yet reasonable offer that was ultimately selected. I look forward to the day when we will need the assistance of a realtor and our first choice will be the Mullikin family!
- Logan NickelPat really knows her stuff!!! Found her to be very knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects of the selling process. When we hit a bump she was always more than patient and helpful in getting it resolved quickly and efficiently. I am more than pleased with my experience in dealing with Pat.
- Nancy CharlesBen Mullikin was a wonderful realtor. I am not one for sales people pushing you to buy something and Ben is nothing like that. Ben took me to see over 30+ houses over a course of 2 years. He was honest about each house and would point our both positives and negatives in the house I may not have thought of myself. He never gave up on finding me a house as out of the 30+ houses I didn't like any of them except for the one I bought. This was a long process but he always made time to see the additionally houses till we finally found the one. I have a very intense work schedule and he worked around it so I could find my starter home. As this was my first home Ben provided me all the key things to look for in a house and things to think about when building an offer. I would 100% recommend Ben as a realtor to anyone who is looking. After this process, my father even said that if he sells his house one day he would love to have Ben as his realtor.
- Sarah LemkeWe had a great experience with Ben Mullikin. He was willing to show us any home at any time of day or night. Once we decided to put an offer in he took us to his office that night and filled out the paper work. There was no hassle, no pressure, and we ended up with the first house we put an offer on. I would recommend him to anyone.
- User 04214426Pat sold me my house 16 years ago and I knew I wanted her help to sell it this past September. She set my mind at ease when she told me she understands the contract part of selling homes extremely well. Communication regarding scheduled showing and follow-up information was timely. I also appreciated the communication Pat and I had either via telephone, texting or email. I received answers to my many questions quickly.
- M. DonlinWorking with the Mullikins was like being with family! We were first time home buyers. At the time my wife and I were looking, we recently got married and had a baby on the way. Over the course of a few months, Ben took us across Southeast Wisconsin showing us different houses in our desired price ranges. Ben was always so thorough looking at a house literally top to bottom. I was highly impressed with his knowledge of foundations and knowing the true value of the house. When we found our dream home, Ben was there to act fast and seal the deal.Desperate to find a house before the baby, my wife and I found a house that we liked but didn't love. We kept convincing ourselves this was the one. As we went to talk to Ben about putting an offer down, Ben looked at our desperation and recommended that we don't and keep looking. He read us and saved us from getting a house that we really didn't want. In this market in our price range, houses went on and off the market fast. Knowing the urgency to see these, Ben would work around our schedule to accommodate walk-throughs. One time he couldn't make it and Pat Mullikin quickly stepped in with the same great service. This family really knows realty.Definitely recommend power hours!!! Knowing we were new to buying houses, Ben took us in one day to several houses with the goal of finding out what we can afford, our wants, and best locations.
- J.J. HeberPat and Ben Mullikin worked closely with us to find our new home in 2011 as we relocated. They kept in close contact us with us throughout our home search. They provided us with important information about the area and helped us to find the ideal home for our family. When we had issues with our relocation company, they stepped up to help us get them resolved quickly and appropriately. They continued to provide great support to us all the way through closing. The Mullikins are a great realty team that we highly recommend!
- NavigatoBen has helped me buy a house and sell a house. Was great to work with each time and there was a reason I trusted him in my home sale. He is very knowledgeable and ended up selling my house for more than I was expecting within a month of the listing. One of the things I liked the best was that he didn't over promise anything, was honest, and provided great advice.
- Ryan ScheuermanMy husband and I worked with Pat while buying our first home in Brookfield WI. She was VERY knowledgeable about the area and pointed out all the items new homeowners may not think about when purchasing their first property. She also knew when to sit back and just let my husband and I discuss our opinions and helped us work through our options with each property we saw. She was also fun! She wasn't too pushy or demanding and didn't treat us like we had no clue what we were talking about (which was nice as my husband did A LOT of research before we started buying houses). I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a property (especially if it is your first).
- User 797637I have bought two homes with Ben and he worked diligently to get us the deal we were looking for! Ben was very patient and explained the process both times! We couldn't be happier with the turnout. We wouldn't think of going through anyone else!
- marrerojl02Ben was very helpful throughout our first home buying process. He knew the area and what to look for in a house. He was busy so getting a quick response from him was sometimes difficult but, overall, a great experience.
- User 97990707Pat is an outstanding real estate broker, and will do whatever it takes to sell and/or purchase a new home. One truly admirable trait is Pat's level of integrity and ethics in real estate transactions.
- User 7818635When my wife and I were considering relocating to the Milwaukee area, we chose Pat and Ben as our realtor to assist with our home buying search and relocation needs. Pat and Ben were an unbelievable team to work with and they exceeded all of our expectations. Their level of professionalism and knowledge was outstanding and their willingness to take the extra time to ensure that all of our questions and concerns were addressed was so reassuring. Even though our relocation to the area ultimately fell through and we didn't relocate to Milwaukee, Pat and Ben were still gracious and helpful with answering our questions and assisting with starting our search in another area of the Midwest. It was an absolute delight working with them both.
- Shane & ColleenI was very impressed with Pat's expertise from the beginning. She brought her knowledge and professionalism to each meeting and throughout the selling process. Pat made the experience as easy as possible for me; and selling a home can definitely be a challenging experience. Pat was very attentive to detail and was quick to respond to any road bumps along the way. I am thankful for her persistence and dedication to the sale of my home and truly feel it would not have been possible without her.
- User 1790539The entire Mullikin family has been an absolute joy to work with! As first-time home buyers, my husband and I were a bit nervous (and clueless) about the overall process. We worked primarily with Ben Mullikin, who was able to walk us through step-by-step, ensuring to address all questions and concerns at any given time. Not only did Ben make himself available to us during evening and weekend hours, but he truly listened to what we wanted and acted upon those wishes. As we were quite eager to start looking at houses, Ben immediately scheduled showings following our initial meeting. He provided helpful insight on realistic expectations for first-time home buyers and educated us on the best options for our specific scenario. Shortly after our search, we found a house that met our needs. Ben assisted in making the offer process as seamless as possible, which we appreciated. After the accepted offer and happily moving into our new home, Ben followed-up to ensure all was well. We cannot begin to thank Ben for his honesty, knowledge and expertise in the home buying process. I have already highly-recommended Ben to family and friends, and would do so to the general public as well. Again, thank you to the Mullikin family for making this an enjoyable process for my husband and I.
- Tara LazzaroThis was our first time buying a home, and Martin (who we worked with) could not have made the process any smoother or easier! Buying your first house is, well, a big deal and can be very overwhelming and having Martin around to guide our experience made it seem a lot less scary. He was around to answer any dumb questions we asked and helped by giving a third opinion, but was never pushy. He helped us see the whole picture when we got caught up in the small things, and was very aware of our budget and what we wanted. He always put our needs first and we felt very safe taking his opinion and letting him guide us. We love the house, and feel like we have made the best decision we could have made. If you want someone understanding, flexible, reliable, and honest to help you find your new home, I highly recommend the Mullikins!
- Mara NatkinPat took us through the buying process step by step, including a complete, line by line review of the offer to purchase document. She was very helpful after the accepted offer corresponding with the sellers on many issues. I would highly recommend her.
- User 3156576From start to finish, Ben was knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional and guided me through a challenging first home buying experience. His expert advice and thorough understanding of the purchasing process was instrumental in my ability to successfully purchase my dream home. He was timely, reliable and communicated consistently and clearly throughout the entire process. I would unequivocally recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
- Matt BoudroOur experience with Pat was wonderful! She has an amazing knowledge of the Brookfield and Elm Grove area, and clearly had our best interests in mind throughout the entire purchasing process. Pat worked tirelessly with us on a complicated transaction to make sure we were taken care of, and we cannot say enough good things about her.
- User 983796Highly recommend Pat to home first buyers! Pat will guide you through entire purchasing process giving you a lot of information and insight about every aspect and issue that could/should concern you. We were very happy to have you as our Buyer's Agent!
- Marek & MonikaI worked with Pat on one home sale and two purchases. In all cases, Pat was exceptionally client focused. She showed sincere concern not just for the successful sale or purchase but also for me as a person. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about real estate and regulations in Waukesha County (where my transactions occurred) and referred me to numerous professional service providers in her network of contacts when work needed to get done on any of my homes to facilitate the transactions. She was extraordinarily committed to making sure all details of the transaction were taken care of and kept me will informed (and reminded) of when various actions were due.She was shockingly flexible with her schedule and with driving long distances when needed to accommodate my schedule when we needed to look at properties or exchange paperwork.For the sale of my home in 2013, the picture portfolio that she put together for the listing was outstanding. We were able to get an offer on my house ($500K+) in only two weeks after listing!I highly recommend Pat.
- User 031704We had last used Pat Mullikin 15 years ago, but are glad that we contacted her again. She priced our home competitively, gave us help with staging, engaged a great photographer to show off our home in the best way possible, kept us informed about showing results and wrapped up the final deal in two weeks! What more could we ask? Thanks, Pat!
- Jacob SenjoanPat takes the time to listen to what each client needs. She's always informative, helping to understand the buying/selling process and financing options. If she can't provide the information you need, she's quick to find someone who does. We have used the Mullikin team in the past, and are just as happy with them this time, and will use them in the future.
- DodylynI didn't know what to expect when I sold my home, as this is the first home I've sold and I've heard so many horror stories. I was very pleased with Ben Mullikin as my realtor. Throughout the process, he was always looking for ways to make the sale happen while maintaining a high degree of honesty, openness and personal integrity. He never gave up if a hurdle was encountered. I always felt he was on my side and did whatever it took for the sale to proceed. He was very responsive and kept me well informed. Thanks to Ben, it was a painless process. By the way, same comments on the condo that he helped me purchase!
- User 0369265Pat was wonderful to work with. She was honest and did not try to get our listing by telling us that our condo was worth more than it was. She told us exactly what we needed to do to stage the home. When there was a showing, within 24 hours, we knew what had transpired; Pat and her staff sent us an email detailing what the buyers liked and what they didn't like. The closing was very smooth. This was a very good experience and we would definitely have Pat as our realtor. We actually asked her to list our lake home but because she was not familiar with the area, she said that she would have to decline. Other realtors would have taken the listing anyway; Pat is a real pro.
- User 78276707I had the great opportunity to work with Ben Mullikin at Realty Executives while hunting for my first home. Ben is a great person to work with and I would highly recommend him to everyone! He was very patient with me, accommodating to my schedule, and offered great advice. We definitely had some ups and downs while searching for my first home. Ben was always there when I needed some help and in was very comforting to know that my phone calls and emails would be returned in a very timely fashion. He helped me land a great condo in a phenomenal location. Ben is not only a great agent, but a great friend too! When you work with Ben and Mullikin Family Realty you're in great hands! Dave - Waukesha, WI
- User 01722085The Mullikins have everything you would want in a real estate group. They're professional, knowledgeable, courteous and kind... and they listen! They catered to my needs and wants and tailored all showings to the right neighborhood, the right house type, the right price range... all because they listened so well and understood exactly what I was looking for. They are great folks to work with and have even been readily available to assist me long after the sale was completed. I would give them 10 stars if I could.
- User 9340835We just closed on our first home and Pat Mullikin made that possible. She had the knowledge and experience matched by none other. Pat represented us as a buyer's agent. Her drive and calm attitude was very reassuring when stress and little "unknowns" popped up during this process. Pat knew the area well, knew conditions in a home that may cause trouble later and used her fantastic skills to negotiate the final price on our new house. Ben and Martin did assist in additional showings which was extremely helpful given our timeline. We are extremely pleased with services provided by Pat Mullikin and her family and would recommend her to anyone.
- User 9724065Pat did a wonderful job helping us find our first home. She was very responsive to any of our questions, and there were many! We would recommend her to anyone one who is in the market for purchasing a home.
- User 8263162Ben was spectacular. We fell in love with one of the most difficult pieces of property to purchase - a mixed use condominium with 40% rental occupied units. Ben stuck through us and found us 2 viable lenders (out of 37 who wouldn't even consider the property), negotiated a fantastic deal (saved more than 30% from the original asking price, and 55% off the last sold price). And even though the process took months - from snow on the ground to the hottest day of the year - Ben was patient, reassuring, and always knew how to keep things moving. We will always recommend Ben to all our family and friends.
- Tyler ColbyI want to start with some simple suggestions. Pat is the go-to lady when you want to buy real estate. We are first time buyers and we chose Pat because my relative (he is her former client) highly recommended her. That was a really nice suggestion. We bought our house in Elm Grove, and we went through many properties in Elm Grove and Brookfield before we found the one we really want. I got to say Pat really knows almost every single one of these properties, I mean in detail. She is always nice, super responsive, and has a great knowledge about house from every point of view. We are lucky to have her as our agent. We definitely highly recommend her to any friends.
- User 266747I was in need of a "Short Sale" realtor and ended up finding Pat Mullikin on the Zillow site. Being unclear on the entire process and what was needed from us, I reached out to her and we spent quite some time talking during the initial call. She was so helpful. After meeting with her in person we felt so comfortable that Pat would assist us through this challenging process. She stayed in constant communication with us and was willing to come to our home and pick up paperwork or whatever was necessary to see this through. She was very experienced and professional. I would highly recommend Pat Mullikin to anyone that was considering selling their home. Thank you, Pat for all your hard work in closing the deal. Cheers!
- User 358951I worked with Ben and Martin to purchase my first house. For two younger guys, they definitely knew what to look for in a house thanks to their mothers expert teaching. I had a great time with them looking at places and going through houses. I had an issue with the final financing with my original lender. Ben found me one and within a week we were ready to close, in record time!!!I would highly recommend this team of Realty Professionals.
- Matt WielandAs a first time home buyer, I was very lucky to have Pat as my agent buying a house in Elm Grove and the east Brookfield area. She has been very professional through the whole process. I never felt being pushed to make a decision. She knows the area and the market very well. She was very responsible. She even lowered the price after I have signed all the paper work at the closing. She is very knowledgeable about houses. I think she is even better than a lot of home inspectors. She considered a lot of factors in negotiating the price, even the personality of the seller's agent. I thought that buying a home would be a stressful process, but Pat made it really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Pat to anyone (I like) and am looking forward to working with them in the future.
- lazyratI am extremely satisfied with the excellent work on behalf of Pat and the Mullikin team in the sale of my home.Pat is very detailed oriented and handled every aspect of the sale of my home completely and thoroughly. She is a seasoned professional and her years of experience and knowledge of the market is what made the sale of my home a success; especially with the current market situation. I was greatly impressed during the sales price negotiation process on how Pat kept the continuity active between myself and potential buyers to ensure the process was moving forward to an ultimate close. And at times this lasted well into the evenings. It was comforting to know that between our conversations Pat and her team were actively at working on my behalf and always responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner.Pat's professionalism is only second to her personal touch. She understood the needs of our family and had a genuine concern for getting us the best value for our home. We always felt that we were working with more of a friend or family member rather that with just a "realtor". I highly recommend Pat and her team.
- Scott DeMatteisThey made the home buying experience more than great. Extremely helpful in pointing out pro's and con's about the house, and accommodated our schedule no matter what time.
