Team Lahti Partner of Y Realty

Fantastic experience: Working with Laura two times now, both buying and selling, has been wonderful! She is professional, fun, caring and her level of communication exceeds expectations! Thank you, Laura!

Fantastic experience: Dear Laura, We wanted to sincerely thank you for everything you did throughout the sale of our home. You turned what could have been a stressful process into a smooth and successful experience. Your staging and painting recommendations, hands-on support, and the wonderful video you created truly highlighted your professionalism and expertise. Your attention to detail made a significant difference, and having our home on the market for only a week speaks volumes about your skill and strategy. We also greatly appreciated your timely communication and your trusted contractor connections, which helped us quickly replace and update the drywall. Your guidance and dedication throughout the entire process went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you again for your expertise and support. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will gladly recommend you to anyone in need of an exceptional realtor. Terry and Sara

Fantastic experience: As a seasoned mortgage advisor, I have worked with hundreds of real estate agents in my career. I can say with confidence that Laura and her team are absolutely top tier. Savvy, extremely high organization and attention to detail, kind, knowledgeable and professional are a few qualities that come top of mind. Would absolutely trust Laura with my own personal real estate needs and certainly any of my clients' as well.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Laura as the listing agent on a transaction in my role as the loan originator for the buyers. We had a few hurdles with property conditions and Laura handled it with grace and promptness. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Fantastic experience: Laura was recommended to me and we are so happy to have had her as our realtor. She is prompt in her communication, diligent, detail oriented, and isn't shy to getting her hands dirty. She went above and beyond during the sale of our home and the outcome was better than we expected. We got so many compliments on the listing, and the staging and pictures really made the property shine. This was no easy sale, as the home was over 100 years old and we sold our home remotely so Laura put in extra time to go to the home too many times to count to do tasks here and there and meet contractors, etc. and be the ultimate go between. We took her advise on improvements and it paid off which proves she has a good eye. Would definitely recommend her especially if you're needing more guidance and tips to get your house sold or are selling for the first time. Thank you Laura you rock!

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience working with Laura and would recommend her to friends and family! She helped us buy a new house, and list and sell our existing home. She is experienced in this market, knowledgeable and professional. She listened to our needs. She always responded promptly. Laura helped with staging our home to sell and thought of the little details that made showing the house a big success!

Fantastic experience: Amazing realtor. Very professional and thorough.

Positive experience: They found a home I'm happy with quite quickly. They were also responsive and on top whatever problems came up

Fantastic experience: Working with Laura was an excellent experience. She demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, and strong knowledge of the real estate market. Laura was consistently responsive, prompt with updates, proactive, and ensured every step of the process (as buyers) was handled efficiently and with care. I highly recommend Laura Lahti with the Badger Realty Team to anyone seeking a reliable and dedicated real estate agent.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Laura to both sell our current house & buy our forever home. She was great with both parts of the process! She helped us know what small improvements to make to the house so it was ready to sell and helped with staging for photos and showings. We were able to get an accepted offer within 48 hours of listing our house thanks to Laura! When it came to buying our forever home, she took care of all the communication between us, the listing agent/builders/etc. She helped ensure we were happy with the home we were buying & helped the process run smooth from start to finish. We would recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy and/or sell.

Fantastic experience: It was such a blessing to work with Laura. Not only was she polite and extremely professional, she would go above and beyond for us. I work 3rd shift and Laura was very accommodating, and would answer any questions I had about the property or application process. She really made first time home buying such a stress free process. I am extremely grateful to have her as my realtor.

Fantastic experience: Laura did great in guiding us on how to purchase our first property. She was extremely thorough and responded extremely quickly to any inquiries we had. Would definitely recommend her for anything real estate related.

Fantastic experience: Laura was excellent to work with! She really listened and understood what I was looking for and encouraged me to keep looking until we found it. She sent listings, walked through properties, and guided me expertly through the purchase process! I couldn’t have dove this without her and I would HIGHLY recommend Laura for your next real estate transaction. She and her team are the best!

Fantastic experience: Laura and her team were wonderful to work with on the purchase of our house in Barneveld. E would highly recommend Laura and Badger Realty Team!

Fantastic experience: As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Laura Lahti and her amazing team. From the very beginning, she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was her dedication and responsiveness—whether it was answering our countless questions, arranging showings, or walking us through the paperwork, she was always there with patience and professionalism. We truly felt like we were in great hands and that she had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Laura and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She turned what could have been a daunting experience into a wonderful and memorable one! Thank you again for everything!

Fantastic experience: We couldn’t have made it through the selling and buying process without Team Lahti! Laura goes above and beyond helping her clients, she honestly treated us like friends and guided us through the entire process. We’ve recommended Badger Realty and Team Lahti to a few of our friends!

Fantastic experience: Laura was excellent to work with. She was very responsive with answering our questions, and if she didn't know the answer (which was rare) she found it with her connections. She worked well with our lender and seller to find us our dream condo. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to find their dream home!

Fantastic experience: Laura did a fantastic job. She went over everything before, and made sure I understood the process. She communicated well and made sure everything went smooth. Highly recommend her if you're looking to purchase or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Everything Laura does it top notch! From being there every step of the way answering every question we had, to the thoughtful gifts at closing, she really understood our needs and worked to find us the best home for our family. Laura is very knowledgeable, not only in real estate, but in homes and their construction, which was a huge help when looking at fixer upper homes. She was extremely responsive and put us at ease with communicating with agents and lenders. I cannot recommend her services enough! Thank you Laura!

Fantastic experience: Laura Lahti was absolutely fantastic to work with! She helped us buy our Verona home in September 2021 and to sell it in March 2024. Laura went above and beyond in both transactions. We had very tight timelines and the Verona market is still very Hot. She is super organized - helping us through the process with the utmost professionalism. She is a great listener and gave us important tips on how to go about selling in the short time we had. Her assistance in staging the house was fabulous - she has an excellent eye for design, flow, and showcasing the best features. Laura also got us a contact for packing/moving; Ricki's team was so efficient and did an incredible job for us. I was so grateful that Laura had so many industry connections. Badger Realty Team kept us up to date with consistent emails so we could close remotely. Our whole experience with Laura and the Badger Realty Team was 10/10. Jeannine and Navin Markandeya

Fantastic experience: Thanks for the help. It took several months, but they were patient. Laura seamlessly maneuvered through the many nuances during home buying. Thanks so much.

Fantastic experience: Laura was an incredible realtor and support system in helping us navigate the home buying process as first time home buyers. She was attentive, communicative, and patient. Laura was also a fantastic advocate for our needs during the home inspection process. We felt supported and listened to during our whole experience. We would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone looking for a realtor who will meet their needs and help them find their perfect home!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I worked with Laura and she was very attentive, efficient, warm, and knowledgeable. She made buying our home a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Laura sold our house today and it was a great experience. She is professional, prompt, and takes great care of all the details in this process. She is also very personal! It made the whole process easy which is a gift, we never have sold a house and with Laura it was a breeze. Thank you Badger Realty!!

Fantastic experience: Very attentive, always professional and super quick to respond.

Fantastic experience: Laura was very helpful and patient with my wife and I during our move to Madison. As a buyers agent, in a difficult market, she was candid with us regarding expectations and showed us every house we wanted to see. Eventually we found the right solution that worked for our family and we are happy with the outcome. Laura pays close attention to details and will advocate on your behalf.

Fantastic experience: Laura and her team were very helpful with our fist home search. When she took time off, she made sure someone else was in contact with us and was helping us look around. Her financial team was also top notch and kept in very close contact with us. Laura knows who to go to for everything we could think of and made it all a lot easier! If you need a realtor, go with her!!

Fantastic experience: Laura made the hardship of finding a home for us so much easier. Laura made sure if she couldn't be at a house to show us, one of her colleagues were. I have panic and anxiety attacks caused by my PTSD and I couldn't take my service dog with me into the houses, so she got me a relaxing scented vial to help keep me calm. I can't thank Laura enough for all she and her team as done for us. I highly recommend this company to everyone. Thank you again Laura, Gem and Joe.

Fantastic experience: Loved with Laura. Second time of working with her.

Fantastic experience: Laura did an amazing job for us! She gave us incredible personal attention! She helped stage our place, followed up regularly to make sure we got everything we needed and kept us in the loop. The listing process was organized and easy on us, she sold it in a weekend with multiple offers, and the closing was flawless! Thanks for making a stressful time into an organized and easy process!

Fantastic experience: Even with the interest rates climbing and a contractor delaying our ability to list by easily a month, Laura pulled it off. She sold our home. It's not a spacious place with room for a growing family, quite the opposite. It's a small, two bedroom home. This didn't deter Laura from finding a buyer, not an easy feat. She worked tirelessly to help us improve our home by painting, landscaping, decorating, advising, cleaning, organizing. No job was too big or too small in order to sell this home. She's tenacious. She was available at all hours (and you better be as well), she doesn't stop! Thanks so much for helping us buy a beautiful home by selling ours, Laura.

Fantastic experience: We were looking to buy our first home, and despite researching all we thought we needed to know, Laura Lahti taught us better ways to look for and make offers for houses. She presented binders to us full of information from current economic stats for home buying to inspectors most reliable for evaluating a home’s worth. Giving us access to realtor websites (that actually kept up to date with homes and their statuses) helped us save time and weed out houses that weren’t really available. She went out of her way to set up private showings after normal hours so we could go after our work day and also feel more safe about covid. Despite working with other clients, Laura always found time to go over offers and submit them for us even late into the night. Even with the current high costs for houses, she still had us offer much less than the asking price and had additional work done before we signed for our home. She is also very sweet and generous, sharing pet pictures and even including a gift to our pet with our new home care package.

Fantastic experience: Laura was amazing. She was very accommodating to our busy schedule in order to help us find our perfect house. She always answered any calls or texts any day at any time. If we ever are looking for a house again we will definitely be using Laura!

Fantastic experience: Laura made the selling of my condo seamless and without any stress. It was sold over a weekend while still getting the best possible for my home. I value and am so grateful for her friendship but she put me first also as a client with her professionalism and care that she gives in the whole process from the booklets made to bringing items over for staging and the constant communication of the process. So many positive and awesome comments were made by other realtors on how the condo looked at showings.and I am certain this helped to received offers that exceeded my listing price. I will definitely choose her again and would recommend her over and over.

Fantastic experience: After receiving a highly recommended referral from a friend, Laura absolutely lived up to all the hype. She represented the sale of my old and purchase of our new homes. It’s not just a job for her, she really looks out for your interests and will bend over backwards to make the transaction go as smooth as possible and do everything in her power to keep deadlines.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I first met with Laura and Emily I knew they were the perfect fit for me to help sell my home. The effort they put forth in discussing ideas and providing staging items for my home, including bringing the items over, placing or hanging them and even ordering new specific items just for my sale, showed how much they cared in making sure my sale moved forward fast and smoothly. I am certain that the effort and items they provided helped me receive offers exceeding my original listing price. The communication between them and myself during the entire process was filled with quick responses to all of my questions. After I had accepted an offer they continued to work by communicating with myself and the buyers agent to resolve any questions regarding details of my home. Their professionalism continued right thru the completion of closing, as the buyer had a misprinted check and needed to run back to their bank for a new check, the calm and reserved demeanor presented by Laura and Emily kept me in check and allowed me to enjoy the moment without concern. I am grateful for their friendship but more importantly for their professionalism and guidance in helping with the sale of my home and the beginning of my new life.

Fantastic experience: Laura was an amazing buyers' agent--professional, responsive, and took time to get to know our family in order to help us find the right house for us. When we sold our place a few years later, there was no question that we'd work with Laura again and the selling process went great, due to Laura's hard work. If you're buying or selling in Dane county, you should hire Laura.

Fantastic experience: Laura and the team at Badger Realty were just outstanding. They stayed on top of everything for us and made the home buying and selling process very easy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Laura Lahti was exceptional to work with—she definitely knows what she is doing, and adds that personal touch that so many businesses lack. I would recommend Laura & Badger Realty to all of my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Laura as my buyers agent and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. She was knowledgeable, personable, and made me feel more comfortable with the full process straight from the beginning. Throughout the process, she was prompt to answer questions, schedule showings, write offers, contact the sellers with questions, and connect me with specialists once my general inspection was completed. The market has been crazy and Laura was prepared to help me get through it and find the perfect home. If you're looking for a buyer's agent, I highly recommend sending her a message!

Fantastic experience: The badger reality team went above and beyond in finding us the perfect home. Very professional, and available at any time to talk, go to showings or answer questions. Being first time home buyers we were very nervous and had a lot of questions, but the badger reality team made the process very easy for us. Will recommend to anyone looking for house or property.

Fantastic experience: Laura was great to work with! She was patient, professional, and really looked out for my best interests. She was also extremely quick to respond to any texts or emails. She made sure to remind me when I needed to get something done on my end, and also kept on top of the seller's obligations and times frames. She was so organized and engaged, that I felt like I was her top priority. At close, she gave me a binder - that she created - for me to keep all of my purchase documents and receipts, etc. Laura is the second realtor I've worked with, and she really does go above and beyond her duties to make the process smooth and enjoyable. She even hosted a customer appreciation party, which showed me that she cares about her clients well after the sale. Thank you, Laura!

Fantastic experience: If you want to feel well taken care of during the inevitably stressful time of buying or selling a home, look no further than Laura Lahti with Badger Realty Team. She consistently provided stellar communication, either via phone or email. She moved quickly on time sensitive matters, and kept us in the loop throughout. She always made us feel like we were her only client (definitely not the case!), that's how well she knew our story and where we were at in the process. That's the sign of a skilled, valuable realtor. We can't recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Laura was our buyer's agent back in 2012 when we bought the house, and she helped us sell it 8 years later. She went above and beyond to make our place look great (even spray painting our patio table herself!). Her knowledge, insight, and dedication got us the most for our money. She is also very flexible, working around our schedule. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.

Fantastic experience: Working with Laura was wonderful. She really pushed to get us the best possible offer on our home. She answered all of our questions quickly and was very responsive. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Fantastic experience: Laura was beyond great to work with. Both with purchasing a new home and now selling our previous one. She always responded to our questions right away and made us feel like a priority. She kept us in the loop about everything that was going on during the whole process, from showings to closing, and we always knew what to expect. Everything moved along smoothly and was so much less stressful than we had anticipated. We are extremely happy with our new home and very highly recommend Laura!

Fantastic experience: Laura is the embodiment of a trusted realtor, with an unparalleled energy, tenacity, and follow-through that would make her competition envious.

Fantastic experience: Laura is extremely knowledgeable. She guided me through the process of buying my first home with patience and support. I can’t imagine a more positive home buying experience.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Laura on my first home purchase, and was new to the entirety of how everything worked. She was not only patient with me in terms of addressing all the questions I had, but was consistently quick with a response regardless of the day or time. On more than one occasion, she provided me updates and talked me through parts of the process after her "regular" hours - and always made me feel like a priority. Laura clearly had my best interests in mind, and if she felt like something may pose an issue to me choosing my best option, she would offer her advice (which was reassuring). Laura went the 'extra mile' for me every step of the way, and adjusted her schedule multiple times to help me stay aggressive in my search. I will absolutely continue to recommend her, and will utilize her phenomenal skills again in the future when I sell and buy again. She made the process as smooth as could be, given the circumstances (COVID-19) and the relationships she has with other key players in her industry is a true testament to her ethic and commitment. There are so many reasons she has risen to the top of her local industry, and she will continue to do big things! You are in the best hands you could be in with Team Lahti!

Fantastic experience: Working with Laura with Badger Team Realty was a wonderful experience! She was always available for questions. If a home listed that she thought was a good fit for our family, or we found one we wanted to view, we were able to get in right away, which made me feel like we were ahead of the game. Laura is skilled and knowledgeable as a realitor and you can place 100% confidence in her to help you find the perfect home! She is familiar with Dane County and the surrounding areas to ensure you are finding the best home in the right area. A big thank you to Laura! We are loving our new home.

Fantastic experience: Laura thank you for doing all the work on selling the condo, it sold in 1 hr for my asking price. I wish you were able to work in Chicago to help me find a home. I had no stress in selling this place. Thanks again Laura!!!!

Fantastic experience: Laura has gone above and beyond what I've expected from a realtor. The amount of work that she has put in to make sure things run smoothly for us has been staggering to me. We've worked with her as both a buyer and as a seller, both experiences have been stellar. I really couldn't recommend her more. Also, her recommended contractors are excellent and I highly advise listening to her suggestions.

Fantastic experience: This house was the first one I had bought and I feel like I hit a home run picking a realtor. Laura really worked her tail off for me. She kept on me about what I needed to do to buy the home and made it easy for me. She worked very well as a team with my lender, Craig Igl, which I saw as an added value because of their experience working together. I was also very impressed with her knowledge of the construction aspect of the property such septic, well, windows, and HVAC. I could go in for ever on the reasons I would refer Laura.

Fantastic experience: Laura goes the extra mile for her clients! She is so knowledgeable and is definitely someone you want looking out for you in this process!

A great agent that I'll definitely be working with for my next property.

Fantastic experience: I truly can't say enough about Laura as a professional realtor or a person. As all will probably agree, buying your first home can be very stressful. Laura was not only patient but was in constant communication with me every step of the way. She is very kind, knowledgeable and always has a smile. I truly appreciated her positive attitude and reassurance (even when I wasn't so sure things would work out for me). I would recommend Laura as a realtor to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Laura is a knowledge and experienced Realtor that will work with you to find, sell, and close, on your property. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Laura is amazing! This was our first home buying experience and she made it a fun and enjoyable 11 months. We had no idea what to expect, but she made it easy and smooth. No matter how many houses we wanted to see, no matter how many counties we drug her through, we never felt like we were a burden. Her ability to stay in contact, answer questions in a timely matter, and drop what she’s doing to help us out or set up a showing was more than we could have ever asked for. She always fought for us, was up front and honest about homes, and really helped us learn more about what we wanted. She’s not just a realtor, she teaches you along the way and makes you feel like family. She will forever be the person we recommend to family, friends, and anyone that is looking for a home. She made it possible for us to find our new home! We couldn’t be happier. :)

Fantastic experience: Laura did an excellent job as our realtor, this time we used her while searching for a home. A few years ago she successfully sold our home on the East side of Madison. This go around she made the process finding a home smooth and efficient, even in this crazy Madison area market. Luckily there were minimal road bumps in this particular purchase and even those were taken care of quickly and without fuss. Both myself and my husband would high recommend Laura whether you are buying or selling!!
