Incredibly helpful in all aspects from preparing the property to managing the selling process and then to closing.

Jim was excellent to work with & made the sales process very easy. The sale of the house went exactly as he described. We really appreciated how clearly he communicated & explained everything to us.

Jim was exceptional, from beginning to end. He knew the market, understood what was important to us, and was responsive to our questions and concerns throughout. We can’t thank him enough and would highly recommend.

We have used Jim in the past and his dedication and professionalism then led us to request his services once again. Even though we were an hour north of him, he didn't hesitate. Commuting often for a quick 15 minute walkthrough, Jim went above and beyond what any realtor would ever do. When we finally found our house, disaster struck. Two weeks prior to closing my father passed and I had to be with family. Jim took it upon himself to do whatever we needed to get this house while communicating with me on only on the essentials. I returned the day prior to closing and everything was staged and ready for me to sign. He worked with contractors, loan officers, and the sellers tirelessly to get us to the finish line successfully. Also, his compassion and sympathy was a deep comfort in my mourning. I cannot recommend Jim enough. He is warm, thoughtful, caring, professional, dedicated, and his laugh is contagious. Buying a home is stressful and Jim is able to melt that away with his wonderful charm and confidence. I will forever be blessed with the time I had with him and thankfully, I can say I left this experience with a new friend. Please feel free to use or publish my testimony. Sincerely, a new homeowner, but more importantly, a man immensely grateful to Jim Schleif, Curtis Payton

Jim was so helpful and so knowledgeable and the process was smooth and fast because we were in such good hands. Our new purchase was what we wanted at the right price. He then helped us get a big old house ready to sell in just 4 weeks and we had more than one offer first day of open house. He even connected us with contractors to help get house ready. Throughout he was responsive, friendly, and fun to work with. The process and results exceeded our expectations on both sides.

Jim is an excellent agent and represented us professionally and successfully on both the buy and sell side. His guidance throughout the process was invaluable. And a great person!

Working with Jim was everything I hoped for in a homebuying experience and so much more. As a single parent and a somewhat unique buyer, I needed someone who would not only guide me through the process but truly partner with me. That’s exactly what Jim did. He was hands-on when I needed him to be and incredibly attuned to what mattered most to me. I never felt rushed or overlooked but informed and supported every step of the way. His deep experience as an agent is obvious, but he works incredibly hard to make sure clients are advocated for. Jim helped me feel confident in every decision, and I always knew I was in good hands. Best of all, Jim has been there for me in the months since I moved into the house. He has answered questions about taxes and utilities and other things I never would have expected a realtor would do even 4 months after my closing date! He is genuinely focused on the client and keeping them in the best situation they possibly can be in. He has an incredible eye for detail — pointing out things I never would have noticed during showings, walking me through the lending process, and helping me understand how each piece of the puzzle shaped our strategy. I welcomed his advice on everything from lenders to homeowners Insurance. I never felt alone in this process. We were a team, and he was a true advocate — exactly what I needed. Beyond his skill and professionalism, what I love most about Jim is his deep engagement in Milwaukee. He’s an active volunteer and philanthropy is incredibly important to him, so I trust him deeply as a leader, community builder, and someone who genuinely cares about this city and the people in it. Personally and professionally, Jim does a lot to make Milwaukee a thriving place. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, integrity, and excellence to their work, Jim is your guy. I couldn’t be more grateful to have had him in my corner.

Jim Schleif is honestly the most outstanding real estate professional with whom I've ever worked. His deep knowledge, not just of the market and the neighborhoods, but also structural and mechanical aspects of homes, really provided the guidance I needed to make the best choices. I remain incredibly grateful for his professionalism, follow-up, guidance and expertise.

Jim is an incredible agent that draws upon decades of experience and knowledge of the local area to provide valuable insights throughout the search process. He has helped us build a small investment portfolio with several transactions over the last few years. All of the deals have gone smoothly and he has been a pleasure to work with!
