Meet Cait

Team Lead | Real Estate Agent

hey there

I'm a sixth-generation Madison real estate agent and I'm anything but old school.

I've been keeping it real in Madison, Wisconsin since 1986. I'm a real estate agent, the CEO of my little family, and the future host of an HGTV show (just manifesting that into reality). I am obsessed with social media marketing, impacting my client's lives in the best ways possible, and telling the tales of the wild world of Real Estate!

I specialize in helping awesome people move to, from and around the Madison Area and forging friendships along the way. I LOVE all things home and design - you should see my Pinterest board. A wealth of local neighborhood and community knowledge - I want everyone to love where they live. A total nerd when it comes to numbers - I love myself a good investment. I am equally a 2 and 3 on the Enneagram Personality Test - a helper who cares a great deal about relationships mixed with a high achiever with a contagious zest for life.

I also am a huge supporter of local businesses and am the founder and operator of a social media community called, Small BIZ Madison over on Instagram. I create content to support local small businesses and bring awareness to around the importance of keeping our small business community thriving. It is also a great place for you to visit if you are interested to learn more about the great restaurants, shops, services and events that Madison has to offer.

My story

this isn't a story about how i discovered that real estate was my path in life. i think i always knew it would be. it is a story about how i grew up in this business, but had to rebuild it after tragedy and loss.

Real Estate isn't just a hobby or a job, it's in my blood. My roots are deep. Madison has always been and will always be my home. I was born and raised here and am following in the footsteps of five generations of Madison Real Estate Agents ahead of me, including my Dad. Many of Madison’s most desirable neighborhoods were developed by my family including: Shorewood Hills, Sunset Village, Westmorland, Orchard Ridge and more that I discover all the time! My Grandmother lived in 37 homes on the Near-West Side growing up! Her Father was an early Madison developer who would develop neighborhoods, build homes on spec and move his wife and 5 kids multiple times a year. When the spec they were living in sold, it was time to build a new one!

As a kid, I went to the office with my Dad most days and flipped through MLS listings when they were in a binder BEFORE the Internet! I went to open houses, showings and helped him measure his new listings. I could walk you through the process of selling your home at 7 years old. When I was 10 years old, my life was changed forever. My Dad was diagnosed with cancer and rapidly declined in about 9 months time. When he died, so did the family Real Estate business. When he died, so did a part of me.

IN REBUILDING THE FAMILY REAL ESTATE BUSINESS, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO HEAL FROM THE LOSS THAT SHAPED MY CHILDHOOD. I HAVE NEVER FELT CLOSER TO MY DAD.

It wasn't until 2012 when I was miserable in my career, that a spark went off and I was like "what am I doing?" I went to college and changed my majors all the time - nothing ever felt right. I got a job that I dreaded going to everyday. I remember the exact moment when I was sitting at my desk and just got off the phone crying to my husband, that I pulled out my wallet and signed up for the Real Estate Exam. I delivered my two weeks notice THAT DAY and with absolutely no plan, no income and a ton of support from my family - I got my license, joined a Brokerage, got a waitressing job so I could afford the start up costs of my new business... and then I HUSTLED.

Fast forward to almost a decade later and here I am. In rebuilding the family Real Estate business, I was finally able to heal from the loss that shaped my childhood. In this journey of building my business, I have never felt closer to my Dad. I now have a business that keeps me busy, allows me to impact and add value to my client's lives and has allowed me to revive the family biz - Ryan works for the team now too.

Cait was so helpful, and responsive, and took the best care of us. We were first-time homebuyers from out of town and she made us feel incredibly comfortable with the process and was so detailed whenever we did a virtual walkthrough. I couldn't recommend Cait more, we'll definitely continue working with her in the future.
— Hannah L.
Cait helped me with both the purchase of my first home and the sale of it after a few years. She is fantastic to work with and has many contacts in her area to do whatever work needs to be done. I was able to leave most decisions to her in order to get as many people interested in my property as possible and it paid off.
— Anthony B.
Cait was wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to anyone. She was not only super helpful in finding us the land we were looking for but was very thorough as she led us through the process. And it's not just Cait, her Transaction Manager, Alexa, was extraordinarily helpful and kept the process on track. Truly a great team!

Beyond the Gold Standard, Cait is platinum! My senior mom utilized Cait's services as a stellar realtor when selling her home to move into senior living. I live out of state and we needed someone with compassion and expertise, in steps Cait. She was completely hands-on and made the process seamless. She literally helped my mom pack items for staging and coordinated large items to be removed/donated. She explained each step of the process and has the patience of a saint. The house looked amazing and my mom had over 20 offers. Sold. Ty Cait!

My wife and I moved from out of state. We only had a week to look at homes and Cait was immensely helpful in showing us around the area and getting us in to see all the houses we were interested in. The Madison area was ultra competitive, with most houses selling the week of listing, but Cait helped us find a house during our trip and her advice helped us submit a competitive offer that secured us the sale. Afterwards, she and her team were great help coordinating inspections and all the other things that need done between the offer and closing before we moved up to the area. Her knowledge of all the local vendors and procedures were an immense help.
— Buyer
Cait provided excellent service as our realtor both on the buying and selling side. During buying her guidance on putting in offers was very effective and led us to getting ultimately getting an accepted offer several thousand dollars under asking price after our home inspection all within the hot housing market of 2021. On the selling side Cait did a great job of advertising and putting together an amazing selling photo and drone footage of the property to share to prospective buyers. She provided cleaners to prep the home prior to being listed which was above expectations. Cait has certainly earned her commissions through this process. I fully rec...

Cait was amazing to work with! We were first time home buyers in the most insane market, but Cait was super helpful and told us we should at least try. Fast forward about 60 days, and we have closed on our dream home! Home-buying is super stressful and things were very fast-paced, but Cait was always in close contact with us. Her and Ryan provided us with great tools to be able to view homes ASAP and they were willing to do everything within their power to help us. Then towards the end, we had Alexa provide us with organized “next step” emails in preparation for closing and really good checklists to make sure we were on track. We likely won’t move a...

My wife and I moved to Madison to be closer to family, while leaving a major metro area. When we first started to look at homes with Cait what truly impressed us first was just how deep her knowledge of where we would like to live went. She knows the city was well and was able to offer detailed guidance about neighborhoods, pricing in areas, historical information, and access offered from different areas. Cait was never late to a single showing and always had very prompt response times to any emails with questions we had or desire to go look at homes. This was my wife and I's first time buying a house, and when touring homes Cait was able to teach u...

Cait was recommended to us by a friend, and after meeting with her via zoom, we were immediately eager to work with her. We came to cait as first-time home buyers and had a lot of anxiety about the home-buying process in general and also about entering the market when it's as crazy as it is right now. Cait has a wealth of knowledge with tips and tricks about how to navigate any market. We felt confident in her knowledge and expertise. She helped us find a home that was "Coming soon", helped us reach out to the seller, and wrote an offer competitive enough to convince the seller to not even list the house. We ultimately got lucky with the first house...
— Jacalyn D.
Cait is the best! We recently worked with her as our agent for both buying and selling. It was a very spur of the moment purchase, we saw what looked like our dream house pop up on Zillow and reached out to her, since we'd had such a great experience years ago when we bought our first home. Within a day, she not only was showing us the property, but had us well educated about the entire gameplan for how we could buy a house when we hadn't been planning on selling our current one. Within a weekend, she whipped up a very competitive offer for us that the sellers accepted. We got our dream house! Throughout the process, she was a great advocate for us,...
