Jessica Riphenburg

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 Jessicas 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.

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!Derek McRoberts, Madison, W

I enjoyed the boutique like experience working with Roost Realty and highly recommend them for your real estate needs In the Madison area. Thanks again to Roost Realty and my new friend Jessica.

It is with great confidence that I recommend Jessica Riphenburg and Roost Realty. From the first time I met Jessica at an open house I was impressed! She actually listened and took notes during our visit. Of all the Realtors I have met, only Jessica took the time to listen and understand our situation. She promptly followed up on that initial meeting by setting me up with a regular email communication regarding homes in the areas and price range we were looking for.I honestly believe we wouldnt have sold our existing house for a reasonable price without the marketing savvy of Jessica and her fantastic team! Our house was a tough sell due to some bad press the neighborhood had recently received, but Jessica came in with an amazing marketing plan, which included some incredible photographs and two videos. The new owners commented on the videos at the closing, so I know the videos were very effective and help close the sale.After the sale of that house, Jessica provided much needed input, guidance and patience while we searched the perfect new home! She worked with us on every step of the process. If you are looking for an agent who is hardworking, honest, knowledgeable, accessible and patient, look no further than Roost Realty and Jessica. She isnt just a really good realtor, she has become a good friend.Bruce and Lisa Stein, Madison, WI

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.Beth Votroubek, Madison, WI

The Roost Realty team sold my house quickly at a great price. Living out of state, I was able to continue focusing on the demands of my work and everyday life while they applied all sorts of resources and marketing tools toward attracting potential buyers. Once the house was under contract, they were in constant communication so I always knew what to expect. I especially appreciated the attention to detail throughout the process. It was such a professional team and a wonderful experience!Emily Allred, Madison, WI

We knew that selling a really old house (1880 or so) in a small, off-the-main street east-side Madison neighborhood might not be easy, but we needed a newer house with less stairs and less maintenance.Our choice of Roost Realty was so lucky! Both Jessica and Alise had helpful tips in readying the house for sale, and they put in a lot of time checking things out for us. We ended up getting an amazingly better than the asking price. Well worth the hassles and waiting periods! I would certainly choose them again.Nancy Graham, Madison, WI

We originally were working with another realtor in Madison who was not very helpful. We switched to Jessica after talking to a couple of other agents and deciding that we liked Jessica the most. She was extremely helpful and honest throughout the entire process.While we were originally searching for homes in the Dungeon-Monroe neighborhood, Jessica helped us discover the Tenney-Lapham neighborhood, and helped us to realize that it had everything that we were looking for.Jessica was very helpful through the whole process, constantly pointing out features of homes that we might have normally missed. She also helped us look past the stylistic decisions of the current homeowners and imagine a homes true potential.Even though we have already purchased a home, Jessica has continued to help us make decisions with our home. She has helped us decide which improvements are the most cost effective, as well as putting us in contact with some excellent contractors.We really enjoyed working with Jessica, and we highly recommend her.Patrick and Sarah W, Madison, WI--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When my husband and I first met Jessica we were impressed with her knowledge and understanding of the process, her interest in finding the perfect home "for us", her honesty and her attention to detail. She knew what we were looking for almost better than we did. The more we got to know her we discovered we had just scratched the surface. Jessica and her partner Emily are true experts about home buying and selling. They tirelessly took us to house after house and once we found one we liked they held our hand through each step of the process. They are professional and extremely service oriented. In fact, their service goes above and beyond anything we expected from realtors. They helped us find everything we needed -- from a fence contractor, to a tree removal company whom Jessica met with at our house in our absence. She even talked with our neighbors about our fencing project. All in all we can't recommend Jessica and Emily enough. Not only did we find the best realtors in the city, we found friends that truly cared about helping make our move the best experience it could possibly be. Karen & Dan, Madison, WI
