Our Happy Clients Say It Best

We highly recommend Ben Allen and Vanguard. We were searching for a home from the East Coast and not able to get to Madison and Ben made the experience very easy and successful. Ultimately Ben was very helpful, knowledgeable, thoughtful, responsive with attention to detail, and committed to helping you achieve your goals. He demonstrated both professional skills and personal warmth and support.

We had a challenging situation that had tight timelines, complexity, limited areas in Madison we were looking and we were not able to even be in Madison. Ben went above and beyond to help us find the right areas, balance our needs, tour us around virtually, and helped us find a rare home through creativity and connections. His level of service continued through and past the closing as he helped make the process smooth and pleasant.

He anticipates issues, demonstrates a strong service mindset, makes the experience a positive one. He did a great job and we highly recommend him.

Ben Allen has truly gone above and beyond in providing exceptional service. From the beginning, Ben was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, providing us with insights and guidance as we navigated the often-daunting world of house hunting. His calm demeanor made it easier to work and communicate with him. He took the time to understand our unique needs and preferences, and worked tirelessly to find properties that met our specifications. Throughout the process, Ben was unfailingly responsive and available, promptly answering any questions or concerns that we had and providing timely updates on the status of our searches and offers. His professionalism and expertise instilled in us a sense of confidence and trust that is rare to find. Thanks to his tireless efforts and unwavering dedication, we were able to find our home in this seller’s market, and we can honestly say that we could not have done it without Ben. His skill, knowledge, and commitment to us are truly unparalleled, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. He is simply the best of the best!

My wife and I had the good fortune of being represented by Ben Allen of Vanguard Real Estate in the sale of home located in Waunakee, Wisconsin. We have been through the home buying and selling process six time in the past. Ben was by far the best experience we have ever encountered. Every aspect of selling our home was professionally and proactively managed from the preparation all the way through closing. The marketing plan to include amazing photographs taken by Ben highlighted the many impressive features of the home. The entire process was effortless on our part and culminated in multiple offers and an above asking offer accepted within 5 days of listing. This all took place as interest rates increased and the local real state market had cooled. Ben set realistic expectations, communicated continually and was passionate about representing the best interest of his clients. Kathy and I would highly recommend Ben Allen as your partner and advocate if you are considering buying or selling your home.

Many view the sale or buying of a home as stressful, confusing and maybe even disappointing. All I can say is NOT WITH VANGUARD! The strategy from A to Z of taking pictures, when to list, when to do an open house, all the communication about the paperwork through the offer process and sale was masterful. This company really knows what they are doing. Ben is knowledgable, honest, straightforward, easy to work with, patient and responsive. Anytime we had questions, he genuinely listened and clearly communicated best options and suggestions. Ben made the experience enjoyable and we ended up with a great sale, beyond our expectations! Can’t recommend Vanguard enough. Thank you!!!

We had the best experience selling our home with Vanguard Real Estate. Ben was so easy to work with! He maintained great communication throughout the process and seemed to anticipate when we needed to touch base with an uncanny sixth sense. Also, the importance of Ben’s background in photography cannot be overstated. The pictures he took were some of the best I’ve seen and perfectly captured our home. I think it is one of the biggest reasons we were able to sell our home quickly and at asking price!

Ben Allen is an A-list Professional that I would recommend to anyone. We had such an amazing and positive experience working with Ben. He is responsive, knowledgeable of the market, is instinctive in how to work with his clients and very accommodating. Ben was always on top of every detail. Our Condo sold within a week. The process went smoothly and he was always available to answer questions, council us if needed. We felt secure in working with him and trusted his knowledge and expertise thru the entire process. Ben was simply awesome to work with. We highly recommend Ben Allen.

As the personal representative of my late parents’ estate, I felt an enormous responsibility to work with the right agent on the sale of their beloved home. For me, that meant someone who was calm, professional, knowledgeable and understanding. Ben delivered on that and so much more. Not only is Ben outstanding at what he does – including the photography, strategic marketing, and managing the process – he inspires great trust by listening and communicating with absolute transparency. Working with Ben exceeded all expectation, achieving an outcome better than my family had hoped or anticipated. We’re so grateful to Ben and can’t recommend him highly enough.

We have dealt with many different Real Estate agents across different countries over the past decades, this was the best experience by far. Ben Allen takes his job and responsibility serious, is extremely knowledgeable, responsive and anticipates needs, questions or areas of concern proactively and well in advance. He goes above and beyond to take care of his clients and treats every involved party with high integrity. We can honestly say we have never felt so safe and well informed at every step of the way and having a partner like that by your side while making significant, long term decisions is invaluable. Highly, highly recommend!

We live out of state and were looking to find a large parcel of land in the country to build a vacation home on. We knew what we wanted but were having a hard time finding it on our own. A family member in Madison recommended that we contact Ben & Simran. They took the time to understand our needs and then created an automated search that provided us with many great properties to consider. Ben toured several properties with us and helped us understand the various intricacies of buying vacant land (zoning, restrictions, potential costs, etc). We ultimately found “the one” less than a month after starting our search with them. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you are looking for great realtors in the Madison area give Ben & Simran a call!
