Their maintenance people and everyone else we dealt with were very friendly and helpful as well. I will take my Subaru here for service, too! Every time the car goes in, it gets a free car wash."
"Lance Anderson, the pre-owned sales manager, is a totally cool, straight-forward, super nice guy. I told him exactly what I was looking for in a car and the maximum price I could afford. He took down the information and told me he would get back to me in the next day after he had time to look through his inventory and records to find a well maintained car that met my specifications. He did not try to make me test drive a new car or mess around showing me things he was not sure were in my best interest. He ended up finding me a great car, under my max price! They also gave us a really nice loaner to drive over the weekend until the rims could be prettied up on Monday!"

"Katherine Bidwell is an absolutely excellent realtor. She is thorough, prompt, responsible, hard working, diligent, and honest. She is committed to her clients and works hard to make sure the buying/selling process is as smooth as possible. Would recommend her to anyone!"
Another resident said "I wanted to recommend Katherine to any residents looking to buy or sell a home. We used Katherine to sell our home and could not have been happier with her service. She was extremely dedicated to us and helped guide us along the way for our first sale. She staged our home and I think that was the key to the sale. I wish we had known about her when we bought our home, as I know she would have been a great asset. She knows the Madison market and was very respectful of our busy schedules. I have never met a harder working Realtor!"

We needed a new roof and demolition of our old chimney. Sims was really quick about getting back to us with an estimate along with a thorough explanation of what would be done. Their price was significantly lower than the other estimates we got. They did the entire job in a single day and left our yard and driveway clean. We are very satisfied with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone.
