Testimonials

There are many things I can say about the high quality of service we provide to our home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of our recent clients themselves.

So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate our experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much we enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.

We would be happy to email you additional testimonials if you are interested.


Wes and his team were great to work with. Very knowledgeable about the business and easy to work with and communicate with. I would encourage anyone who is interested in selling their home to work with Wes and his team. They also have a lot of momentum going in the community selling homes. --The Steinmullers

We have had the excellent experience of recently selling our home with the professional staff at Madden Real Estate. We have completed over ten previous real estate transactions with varying degrees of satisfaction. Results are often a good indicator of effort. The Wes Madden team sold our house, within 1% of the asking price, in the first week it was listed on MLS. It might have even been the first day. In any event, it was fast. The insightful marketing plan and seller access to near real time transactional information at wesmadden.com was a great help to keep us "in the know" on how things were proceeding with our transaction as well as what steps would be completed next. Ours was a seamless transaction. From the pre-listing meeting with Wes, to staging the home, the Madden team was there to offer support and service. I highly recommend Madden Real Estate.  —Ryan and Laura McGuinn

 

I would highly recommend the Madden Team. They stuck with me through all of the ups and downs of trying to get my home sold. Despite frozen pipes, back-out bidders, short sale paper work, and readjusting of the appraisal price Team Madden was there for me. Selling my home was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and having the Madden Team as my realtors made it so much easier for me to deal with. They are caring and compassionate, which is great because selling a home can be very stressful. I don't know what I'd have done with out them. They stuck with me the whole time. I am so thankful to have had them as my realtor. Wes has much experience in selling homes. He has a wealth of knowledge about buying and selling homes, and also can recommend great and trusted repair men, appraisers, and adjusters. He has the nicest ladies that you could ever hope to meet working for him, too! Thanks so much Madden Team! We've come full circle now! You helped me buy my home, and now you've sold it. Thanks so much!  -James and Neena Pritchett

 

I would suggest to anyone selling a house to use Wes Madden. I really enjoyed the customer service, and lets face it Fairbanks has the worst customer service in the world so the Madden team was a breath of fresh air. As a whole the team works fluidly and you can feel secure due to entire staff's competency and great attitude. — Karsten Lawrence

 

Wes,

 

It is not often enough that I say "Thank You". Sara and I were very impressed with the professionalism and care that when into helping us find a house, we can call home in Alaska. Please pass my sincere thanks and gratitude on to Christina for her time and care. She made the whirl wind tour of Fairbanks and North Pole effortless. Hope to see you in June.

 

Again, to you and your team- THANK YOU!

 

Sincerely,

Shane Mendenhall

 

Hey Wes -

 

A day later it's finally sunk into my thick skull that you sold our house at full price with no crazy surprises in sharing closing costs or giving away 350 gallons of diesel... not to mention I thought the price you were targeting was a pipe-dream.  It's official:  I rate your office 5 out of 5 shovels, that's how much I dig-it!

 

-Brad Pietzyk

 

 

Dear Christina,

 

On behalf of my family, I would dearly like for you to know just how truly gratefully we are to you, and with Wes, and his whole team, for blessing us with an extremely rewarding new home here in Fairbanks.  I did not think it possible to purchase a home in just five weeks and then buying it while traveling 'on the road in America' during a wonderfully successful book selling tour.  By your diligence, accurate knowledge, highly ethical sales practices, and genuine kindness to duty and my family, we have the home that found us five years seeking and we are a family blessed by happiness most uncommon.  I am so pleased to recommend you and the Wes Madden team to Fairbanks residence, and they may contact me to see for themselves of what I speak when I say "recommended success" by doing business with you and your company.  Also, we are very grateful to Wes for advertising via the Michael Dukes Radio Show, for this is where my family and I discovered you and your amazing reality group.  Thank you again for making our home buying experience a marvelous one-in-a-life-time event in so many wonderful ways.

 

Very cordially yours,

 

Montana Kid Hammer,

Fairbanks Cowman Novel

 

"I would like to take this opportunity to whole-heartedly thank the Madden Team for the quality home-buying experience my wife and I recently went through. Everybody we encountered was extremely friendly and helpful. Most notably, Jewel Addison worked closely with us in a patient and professional manner, and cast a highly positive light on the Madden Team.

As out-of-state buyers we chose your team through an internet search, under the assumption that one realtor was as good as another. During this process I learned that is not the case and that we were quite fortunate to have lender ourselves in your hands. It became readily apparent when dealing with Jewel and yourself that you were naturally people of good character and everything you did and said are reinforced that feeling. In my opinion, there is nothing more important in such complex dealings, and you should pride yourselves in delivering such a sense of trust and integrity.

Jewel was incredibly helpful, patient, friendly and professional throughout the process. While I was visiting Fairbanks to search for a house, one offer fell through (due to a competing offers for which you gave great strategic advice, but I didn't feel comfortable taking) and she was right there to help me with the next one. Even though the second offer looked more promising and we eventually closed she was very accommodating of my desire to continue looking at houses in the short time I was there so that I would have backup options.

During the contract period, Jewel and Randi were always paying attention to the details, cheerfully reminding us long in advance of issues and deadlines that were coming up. Although Jewel had tactfully advised us that using a lender familiar to her would be much more efficient, we chose to go with our own Montana lender, and this turned out to be a big mistake. Fortunately, once it became evident that our own lender was not working out as hoped, Jewel was able to set us up with a Fairbanks lender in a matter of hours, and thing went very smoothly thereafter. To other buyers who might feel wary of using a lender recommended by the Madden Team, I would suggest seriously considering this. The recommended lenders understand that peculiarities of the Fairbanks and Alaska markets, and have a proven track record of working well with the Madden Team.

In short, I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Jewel and the Madden Team, and feel like you always had our best interests at heart. I would enthusiastically recommend your team to others!!"

Sincerely,

~Don Morton

"Jewel was awesome! She took care of things before I could even ask. As a first time home buyer she is a dream come true."

~Tony Barrie

"The Bottom line is that Wes, Jewel, Randi, Jeri and the rest of the Madden Team get results! Even in today's market, The Madden Team was able to get Sofia and I a fair price for our home, and they did it in a timely manner. If you're looking for a Realtor who is going to just tell you what you want to hear, then Wes may not be your guy. However, if your looking for an honest, hard-working Realtor, then look no further.  I highly recommend Wes and the entire Madden Team. "

"Wes Madden and his wonderful team (especially Jewel who is a real jewel) helped us more than we can ever explain in words.

Our family took a job (short notice) and moved from Eagle River, Alaska to Fairbanks in September 2008. We were fighting some deadlines. We were in a hotel for 20 days and then had to be out. We also were working with a realtor in Eagle River who had not been very aggressive in trying to sell our home. Wes and his team very professionally and expertly guided us through all these obstacles including helping us to pick another realtor. Within 2 weeks of obtaining a new realtor, our home in Eagle River sold. Wes' team also was very patient and showed us several homes eventually helping us to find the beautiful home we now live in.

Jewel was ALWAYS available to us by phone or email. She always had her blackberry going and answered all our questions no matter how silly or trivial. She always treated us with great patience and respect. We were able to close on the home we sold in Eagle River and on our new home here in Fairbanks within a few days of each other and she helped us have funds transferred from Eagle River to Fairbanks. What a relief that was!! There were so many other little bumps in the raod along the way to closing but Jewel and Wes were always so positive and helped us navigate them all. In this time of financial uncertainty it was essential to move quickly and Wes and his team were able to do that for us. It saved us thousands of dollars and many hours of worry and headaches. We highly, highly recommend Wes Madden and his team and cannot say enough good things about them."

"Our experience with the Madden Team at Coldwell Banker has been outstanding. Jewel Addison did an amazing job as our buyers agent. She helped us narrow down homes to look at and arranged showings before we came up in July on our 9 day house hunting trip. Her knowledge of the area and of the local builders was immeasurable. Buying a home in Fairbanks is a daunting task especially in the short time frame we had. But Jewel helped us with the unique Alaskan details and got us excited about buying a home basically before it was built. We are extremely impressed by the quality of workmanship that Rick Watson put into our home and will recommend him whenever possible. We appreciated Jewel keeping us up-to-date on the construction, sending pictures during the process and negotiating details with Rick mostly via email. We were able to move into our new home just 10 days after arriving in Alaska. We look forward to working with the Madden Team to sell our home when we leave and will definitely recommend them to friends and fellow service members."

~James & Jennifer Butera

"I'd like to say thank-you for all yours and the Madden's teams help with
