TESTIMONIALS

K.C.

"I want to thank you for taking us through this process. As you know, this has been one of the most challenging times in my entire life, and at times I wasn't sure if I was going to complete this physically or mentally. You handled this sale with professionalism and style, and I sometimes felt like you were a part of our family, which helped me so much. There were times when I texted you after 10 pm because of my job schedule, and you answered. There were times when I couldn't pick up one more piece of glass from the basement floor, and you asked if you could stop by, which pushed me and the guys to get things done. There were times when I thought the Madison house would never sell, and you sold it in 1 weekend! I am so grateful that God blessed us to have you as our listing agent. Thank you for going over and beyond to help us. Please share this message with your broker so that they know what a Rock Star you genuinely are. I will miss you.

I will be recommending you to other family and friends. Also, please consider getting licensed in California. I don't want to start with a new person if I sell my California home."

S.G & R.G

Looking for a home in Madison we were referred to Lainie by a previous client who was pleased with her service. We were not disappointed. Trying to find a home in this crazy Madison housing market was a challenge! Many challenges but with Lainie’s perseverance the perfect property finally emerged. Her personality and efficient professionalism always gave us a sense of positivity. At no time during the process did we feel rushed or pressured. Communication was always very timely and complete. What a joy to work with!!

H.D & M.D

Lainie recently helped our family relocate from Los Angeles, CA to Middleton, WI. Prior to deciding to move, Lainie took us on a tour of the area. Her knowledge is extensive, and Lainie’s thorough and thoughtful tour was a huge help in our decision to leave SoCal for the Midwest. We decided to rent upon moving, and Lainie and team quickly secured a rental house for us in our desired attendance area. Lainie and colleagues helped with so many aspects of our acclimation to the area, even suggesting riding stables for my daughter. Lainie was patient as we prepared to buy a home, seeing many possible homes in various parts of the area. It was clear that our happiness was her priority. Lainie then helped us secure our forever home in the midst of the pandemic in a highly sought after neighborhood. Lainie called me the instant the house went on the market, had us scheduled as one of the first tours, and coached us through the entire buying process, resulting in us having the house of our dreams in our desired location!

O.V.T. & B.T.

Lanie is an amazing realtor. She was recommended by a friend, and we feel so fortunate to have found her. We were first-time homebuyers, and from the outset, she made the process smooth. She put our priorities first and gave sound advice to help us find the right home. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she is personable and good-natured, making the experience pleasant in a challenging homebuying market. Thank you Lainie for helping us find our dream home!

A.F. & J.J.

We had the pleasure of working with Lainie as buyers and sellers, and both times she went way above our expectations. She is knowledgeable, resourceful, a problem solver, and just a fun person to be around. Lainie took the time to get to know what we wanted and quickly helped us find the perfect home. A few years later Lainie guided us as we sold our house. She was quick, strategic and we were very pleased with the outcome of our sell. We are now on the West Coast and wishing that we could have Lainie as our realtor for the third time.

Although it was my first time going through the process of buying a home, I can't imagine any agent out there does it any better than Lainie. She was always up to date on everything, keeping me informed about new houses on the market, and making sure I was getting everything done on time once I had an accepted offer. Calls, emails, & even texts at all hours of the day -- Not sure when she sleeps! Very professional and I got the feeling after meeting with her for the first time that I could trust her 100%. I asked for her advice several times & took it to heart every time. I can guarantee I will be giving her a call when I need her services again!

K&S M

Working with Lainie was a personal and professional pleasure. We made a somewhat sudden decision to sell our home of 20 years and downsize. Lainie gave us expert advice on how to prepare our home for sale, assisted us in staging and had incredible patience with us as we went through the physical as well as emotional transition. It was clear to us that Lainie was invested in our success. In the course of 10 weeks, we made a decision to sell, sold our home and moved in to our new home. We could not have asked for more! Lainie has our highest regard and we would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

J&B Z

Lainie was recommended to us by a good friend when we began our search in the dead of winter in January 2017 as first time home buyers. After listening to our needs, wants and deal breakers, Lainie was quick to produce options and organize viewings and later, aided us with the ins and outs of the process while answering our numerous questions with ease and urgency. On top of her industry prowess, Lainie is all smiles and obviously loves her profession. We'll be using Lainie for a future home purchase if we ever need to move!

A&C A

We just closed on our home today and I wanted to let you know that Lainie was just an absolute pleasure to work with. She was the perfect match for us and really took the time to understand us and what we were looking for. It would definitely not have been the same had we not worked with Lainie.

E.B.

Lainie was a great resource for us and did a wonderful job helping us locate the right house on a very short timeline. She managed to get us in to see the right mix of houses very quickly and then was on top of the details every step of the way from offer to closing. We would recommend Lainie to anyone thinking about buying or selling house.

J.Y.

Lainie was very patient, personable, available and attentive. She spent countless hours looking at houses with us, searching for potential houses for us and discussing options with us. She really paid attention to what we were looking for in a house and quickly gained a solid grasp of the details and features that we liked and didn't like. Eventually we found a wonderful home that we're very pleased with. We truly appreciated her attention to detail and her genuine interest in finding a house that was a great fit for our family.

K&M A

We really enjoyed working with Lainie in the home buying process. From the start she was engaged, timely in communication, and made us feel at ease. We really appreciated Lainie's personable nature and relaxed but diligent approach to patiently helping us find the home that best fit our family's needs. In a very short time we felt like we moved from seeing homes with our realtor to looking at them with a friend who understood what we were looking for. When it came time to put in an offer she was prompt and knowledgeable in advising us through that part of the process as well. The end result was a terrific home in a great neighborhood at the best possible price. We would give Lainie our highest recommendation without reservation.

R.R.

Lainie was highly recommended to me by some new colleagues when I was moving to Madison from another state and in the market to purchase a home. She did not disappoint! Lainie is friendly, respectful, and asks all the right questions about lifestyle, preferences, etc. She is very kind and insightful and offered many suggestions for us to consider. She worked with me and my partner via email, phone, and Google hangouts: Having one of us in Madison and the other working on a property sale out of state was not easy, but she communicated with us with patience, good humor and clarity. I am especially impressed with her thoughtfulness in educating me about regulations and finer details that were state specific. Lainie is a consummate professional and a joy to work with. If I needed to buy/sell real estate again, I would trust her and want her to help me again.

Lainie Wade was a pleasure to work with! She is knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and kept our interests front and center. She really wants what is best for you and your family. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help selling or buying a home. She is top notch!

S.S & P

I had the good fortune of meeting, Lainie Wade from Restaino Realtors during my job interview that lead our family to re-locate from California to Madison. Even before we moved to the Mid- West, Lainie volunteered herself to do our rental housing search remotely. She was always prompt, flexible and extremely helpful in all her interactions by visiting various units for us (including pictures and video tours for properties) based on our search criteria. With her dedication and hard work we successfully finalized the lease even without being physically present in a timely manner. These early personable/favorable interactions made her the obvious choice to serve as an invaluable resource for our real-estate decisions as first-time homeowners. After about 1 and ½ years of renting we decided to plunge into the buyer pool. Her insightful local area knowledge, networking and expertise made the otherwise daunting process a seamless one. Throughout, she remained patient and worked with us tirelessly showing us multiple houses primarily in the Middleton area. Her attention to details was exemplified by listening to our likes and dislikes while viewing/visiting each property. She was professional with her suggestions keeping our best interest and stayed loyal by negotiating strongly with various builders and property owners to fit our needs. She played a vital role in strategizing and evaluating the pros and cons of new construction versus existing homes in the Verona and Middleton neighborhoods. After just a few quick months of search, we settled for a new construction home in West Middleton with Veridian. She teamed with us even during the design and selection process to help make choices based on comparable sales in the area to make sure we were not overpaying. She worked with our builder to discuss any "price credits" to stay on budget and save costs for us. Her support extended beyond the scope of real estate by offering free child care with her sweet daughter during home visits. As we near our first year of stay in our home, it's been an incredibly rewarding journey during which we feel thankful finding a treasured friend like Lainie. We have full confidence and zero hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

Thanks Lainie for your help with this process. You are quite exceptional at your job and you clearly care about working with us to find us the right home. Throughout this entire process it was very easy to see that you had our best interests in mind. We really appreciate it.

V.W.

You worked very hard to help us find us the perfect home. The guidance was greatly appreciated and working with you was a pleasure.

M.H.

I had Lainie as my realtor, what a wonderful experience. I was very blessed to have her, having sold a home like 25 years ago things were different for me, but Lainie was right there, very helpful, patient. I was so overwhelmed by everything, but she was so comforting, she knew just what to do. She redecorated my house so well that in the back of my mind I was not sure if I really wanted to move! My home was just beautiful. Lainie was very respectful, polite. My first showing my home sold the same day. I had about 5 offers. I was very excited, thanks to Lainie Wade.

A&M B.

As first time homebuyers, Laine was a perfect fit! She is both knowledgeable and patient. Her schedule flexibility and dedication was extremely appreciated when moving to Madison, WI from out of state. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Lainie and will continue to do so in the future!

Lainie has found her calling in life, she has the knowledge and personal skills to get the job done right. Her follow up on deadline dates is the best that I have seen and with constant communication by phone and email is spot on. She thinks outside the box as well. I would highly recommend Lainie Wade to any buyer or seller with no hesitation.
