Testimonials
Our clients tell us what they think..
“We could not be more satisfied with the experience we had working with Julie and The Alvarado Group. As first time homebuyers, we were excited to find our first home, but also a little overwhelmed by the process of it. Julie made us feel comfortable by explaining things every step of the way and helping to make the process fun and exciting. Kathryn was very helpful as we were approaching our closing date, keeping the lines of communication open between us, The Alvarado Group, and our lender. We could not be happier with our first home and highly recommend The Alvarado Group. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for a great experience – it was so wonderful to work with you!”

“We were very fortunate to have worked with Carlos Alvarado. Carlos was always available to show us homes that we were interested in. He answered our question honestly and when he didn’t have the answers, he researched them for us. After multiple offers had failed, we started feeling that we would never purchase a home. But Carlos never gave up on us and every week he sent new listings. Just when we were about to give up on becoming first time home buyers, Carlos encouraged us to put in one last offer. We were skeptical because the seller preferred a cash offer, but went ahead anyways. Surprisingly, our offer was accepted and we closed two weeks later. The Alvarado Group was organized and completed necessary documents to ensure a smooth closing. We had never been so stress free through what was supposed to be a tough process. It was an amazing experience how everyone worked together to make our new home possible. Thank you The Alvarado Group.”

“Through every step in the selling process, and especially when it came to negotiations on an offer, the Alvarado Group made a stressful time much less so. Sara and the team were extremely easy to work with, knowledgeable and always upbeat. My condo sold for a fair price within the timeframe Sara had initially estimated as well — in a tough economy. To anyone thinking of selling, I would highly recommend choosing the team at The Alvarado Group.”
- Sandee
“Thanks to all at the Alvarado Group I was able to find the perfect place for me. From the time we started looking it took us less than two months before I closed on the property. Carlos didn’t waste my time showing me places that were outside my price range or outside the location where I was looking. He would also pick me up at work and off we’d go house hunting. Carlos was always cheerful and upbeat and made the process very pleasant. Even after the closing Carlos helped out with a problem I had and made it go away. I couldn’t be happier with my new home or The Alvarado Group.”
- Joe
“The Alvarado Group was tremendously helpful during the whole process of both selling my last house and buying my new home. Julie is always informed, upbeat and positive. Sara is very knowledgeable, accurate and professional. And Kathryn keeps all the details in order and the process moving along smoothly with timely reminders along the way. Fantastic team to work with, I know who I’m calling if there is a next house to buy!”
- Peg
“Thanks to the Alvarado Group, we enjoyed our home-buying experience. Carlos adjusted to our busy schedules and maintained his positive attitude and great energy throughout, even on those days when we visited 10+ houses. Thanks to his good advice, dedication and patience, Abby and I found the perfect home to welcome little Isaac to. We’re extremely happy with our new place and we’re glad we contacted the Alvarado Group to help us find it. !Gracias!”

“Darcy really took the time up front to understand what elements we were looking for in a new house, both my husband and I. She really did her research on each home and helped us to consider things we may have overlooked, like the costs of heating a certain home, direction of sunlight, materials used in construction and overall integrity of each property. We had a lot of fun looking at homes with Darcy. I was almost disappointed when we had an accepted offer because it meant no more exploring houses with Darcy. I would whole heartedly recommend Darcy to my friends or colleagues, just as she was recommended without reservation to me.”

“It was such a wonderful experience to work with Sara and the Alvarado Group. She showed us many homes and never made us feel like we were asking for too much.

“The team at the Alvarado Group went to great lengths to ensure that our home-buying experience was worry-free and enjoyable. Julie, Carlos, Sara, and Kathryn were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Someone was always available to answer our questions, show us another listing or give us advice. In such a stressful real estate environment, their down-to-earth, honest, non-intimidating approach was very much appreciated. The Alvarado Group treated us as friends and we are incredibly thankful for their help in finding our new home. Thank you—we love our house!”

It needs a realtor to know the market.- It needs an architect to appreciate the details of different houses.
- It needs a counselor to balance expectations and to provide support.
- It needs an economist to put in an offer.
- It needs an advocate to move through the process of closing.
- And it needs a friend to enjoy the excitement and fun.
- Sara did all that for us.
- Our house is perfect.
- If it wouldn’t have been so fast
- one could almost believe she built it for us.
- Danke Schon!

“Julie was great to work with from the very beginning. She really listened to us about what we were looking for in a house, and took that into consideration when deciding which properties to show us. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions. But, Julie and The Alvarado Group made everything so easy! They explained exactly what to expect along each step of the way. Julie was always available to answer our questions, and she spent a lot of time talking through our options with us and helping us make important decisions. At several points in the process, Julie really went out of her way to make sure our home-buying experience was a success. Thank you, Julie!! We are so happy with our new home and are already recommending The Alvarado Group to everyone we know!”
- Jon & Kara
“As a first time home buyer, I had no previous experience working with a real estate company. Sara and her entire staff were extremely professional and patient. She explained in detail each step of the buying process, from the first showing to the final signature at closing. Sara and her staff were able to complete every request I had before purchasing the property, and were there for every problem we ran into. I will recommend the Alvarado Group to all my family and friends. I can’t remember the last time someone worked so hard to make sure everything I wanted was taken care of. Thanks for everything!!!!”
- Simon
“Sara and The Alvarado Group did an excellent job navigating through the current economic downturn. Sara maintained excellent communication lines and did all the extras to facilitate selling our home. I would highly recommend The Alvarado Group for anyone buying or selling a home.”

“Living green is an important part of how we live. When it came time to sell our house, we were looking for an agent who felt the same way. Sara came highly recommended by several people as a great agent, an advocate for environmental real estate, and has also done great work in our community to advance the opportunities for living green. Sara was excited about working with us and helping us sell our green home. She was flexible, straight forward and honest. She answered all of our questions, and there were a lot, but she hung in there with us and got us though the process. Sara is amazing and was wonderful to work with.”
- Melissa, John & Vivi
“My husband and I could not be happier with our experience working with Sara and Carlos Alvarado. We had to buy our house in Madison long distance while living in Denver. Since we could not spend a lot of time looking for a new home, we were worried about finding a location and house that would fit our needs and allow our daughter to transfer to Nuestro Mundo Elementary School. Sara took the time to understand our lifestyle and needs as a family. To our pleasant surprise, the experience was stress free. Since Sara took the time and energy to understand us as buyers, we are thrilled with our house and neighborhood. We highly recommend Sara and Carlos Alvarado to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house!”

“Estamos muy agradecidos con el Grupo Alvarado de Bienes Raices y por hacer de nuestro proceso de compra de casa mas sencillo y facil. Ahora estamos disfrutando de nuestro hogar. Al senor Carlos Alvarado muchas gracias por su ayuda, representacion profesional y lo mas importante su honestidad.”
- Familia Julian!
“Sara Alvarado made us feel like we were her only clients. Buying our first house was a scary task, especially when the majority of people in the real estate field seemed focused on one thing – the sale. We’re relationship people and like to work with others who are focused on the relationship first. Sara is that person in the Madison area – every time we spoke or met with her, our needs were her one and only focus. Anyone can learn how to buy or sell a house, but few do it with such patience and grace.
We’ll never work with any other Realtor and would recommend Sara to anyone. Thank you Sara and the Alvarado team for helping us into our first home!”
- Mandi & Elliott
