Seller Guides
Selling In Madison? Common Situations We Handle
Madison Seller FAQ
Which parts of Madison do you buy in?
We look across the city and its surroundings — Fitchburg, Middleton, Sun Prairie, and East Side — and we will review a property outside those areas on its own merits.
What drives rental demand in Madison?
Demand in Madison is supported by the University of Wisconsin–Madison, state government employment, and healthcare software and biotech employers. We weigh those fundamentals, along with the condition and rent roll of each building, when we set a price.
What if my Madison building has vacancies or deferred maintenance?
That is often where we add the most value. We buy buildings that need renovation, new management, or lease-up, and we account for that in our offer.
How does a sale to you work in Dane County?
Send the address, unit count, and any financials. We give feedback, then a written letter of intent if it fits, followed by diligence and a closing date that works for you.
What should Wisconsin sellers know about property taxes?
Wisconsin municipalities assess property locally, and property taxes are moderately high. We review the current assessment and mill rate for your municipality.
