Madison, Wisconsin Real Estate
Insiders Realty is a Madison-based team of four agents helping buyers, sellers, and relocating families across Dane County. Our founder, Cait Berry, is a sixth-generation Madisonian, and the whole team works from the same belief: a clear plan, made before the big decisions, makes even a complicated move feel manageable.
We'll tell you what we actually think, explain the reasons behind it, and stay with you from the first conversation to the day you get the keys.

More homes came to market in September, sales held steady, and buyers had more choices. But the right homes are still attracting competition.
Look for local experience, a clear plan, and proof. Ask how many homes an agent has sold in your area, how their listings perform against the market, and how they'll keep you updated. Our team has sold 482 homes, and in 2026 our listings sold for 101% of list price on average.
Pricing right from day one, preparing the home before photos, and marketing it to the right buyers. Most buyer attention comes in the first two weeks, so we do the work up front. In 2026, our listings went under contract in about 15 days, compared to 33 days countywide.
Often, yes. Many of our clients buy first using a HELOC or bridge loan, so they aren't rushed into the wrong home. It depends on your equity and comfort with a short overlap, and we'll map out both options with you.
Yes. Pricing, demand, and timing can shift from one side of the Beltline to the other, and national headlines rarely match what's happening on your street. Our team lives and works here, and that local read shapes every price and offer we recommend.
More homes have come on the market this fall and buyers have more choices, but well-priced, well-prepared homes are still drawing competition. For the latest numbers, read our monthly Dane County market update.
A no-pressure conversation at your home or by Zoom. We'll walk through your goals and timeline, recent sales near you, what your home could sell for, and what's worth doing before you list. You'll leave with a clear plan and next steps.
Not always. Most homes need preparation more than renovation: decluttering, small repairs, and better lighting. We'll tell you exactly which updates are worth the money for your home and which won't pay you back.
When your life and finances line up with your next home, not just when the market looks good. We'll help you compare what you could sell for, what you could buy, and how the timing would work, so you can decide with real numbers.
Yes, it's one of our specialties. We start with a Zoom strategy session and our Inside Madison guide, tour homes by live video if you can't be here, and connect you with movers, lenders, and local services so you arrive ready to settle in.
A plan before every big decision, honest advice, and deep local roots. Our founder is a sixth-generation Madisonian, our team sold 62 homes and $35M in 2025, and our clients have left us 46 five-star reviews on Zillow.
