Another great year to be one of the sponsors for the Willy Street Festival, hang out with our neighborhood friends and past clients and enjoy one of the best Madison area festivals!

Come join the fun on September 17th and 18th, 2011!

This is not just for Near East side neighbors, the Willy Street Fair is for everyone in the Madison area and people come from all over Dane County to celebrate the last days of Summer. The entertainment and fun is everywhere you turn with 6 stages of entertainment, a crazy fun parade at 11am on Sunday, award winning local & national beers, a large variety of foods, hand made arts and crafts and all for a good cause - to support the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center and Common Wealth Development.

Alvarado Real Estate Group is a supporter of this Fair and will have a booth, so come visit us to fill up your water bottle with ice cold water and check out our inventory of great listings in the area. We continue to be actively involved in supporting neighborhood events like these because it is what creates strong communities. Over and over again we meet with clients that want to move into a community, not just a house. It is what makes a neighborhood desireable and helps people feel a part of a community and not just a homeowner on a street. And we all benefit from that in many ways.

We hope to see you at the Fair!

This Indian Springs listing at 17 Geronimo Circle was listed for $179,900 and sold for $175,000 by Sara Alvarado on July 28th, 2011. New buyers are excited to live on a great cul-de-sac in a conveniently located neighborhood just south of the beltline off of Rimrock Road in Madison WI. This is their first home and they are expecting their first child in the fall – exciting times! Of all the homes they looked at this home was a great opportunity with its classic colonial style, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and a large deck and mature backyard. The kitchen was updated and featured new countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large sliding glass door from the dining area to the back deck. Main floor laundry room was a plus and of course it also features a highly desired finished lower level complete with bar area and new carpet! The house was in great showing condition compared to other homes and the buyers were drawn to the style of the home and how move in ready it was.  

Welcome to the neighborhood Kathleen and Carlos!

Are you looking to buy a home in the Madison WI area? Check out our great search tools on our website.

We are excited to announce the opening of a second office for the Alvarado Real Estate Group at 1914 Monroe Street on Madison’s near Westside just one block west of Trader Joe’s!

This is an important location to us for many reasons. We are a neighborhood based, local real estate company and community is at the core of our business. Opening our first office as an independent brokerage in 2008 on Madison’s near Eastside gave us a community that has been very supportive and created wonderful success for the company but with all the business we do all over Madison, now it is time to grow!

The Monroe Street area has always been a place where we work, live and play and therefore a perfect fit for our business to move into as well. We look forward to stronger partnerships with other local businesses in the area and a Westside base for our agents that already live and work in the area that will also cater to our clients.

So when is the Grand Opening? That will depend on how the renovation goes, we’re shooting for August! And we’ll be sure to have a HUGE Bash! Stay tuned and thank you all for your part in supporting our business. We couldn’t do it without you!
