I AM LIZ LAUER

YOUR LOCAL REAL ESTATE EXPERT

BROKER/OWNER

My story is a classic Madison tale. I grew up in St. Paul, MN where my father was a scientist at the U of M and my mother was a Realtor® I came to the UW for college and quickly grew roots in this community, falling in love with the city and its people

I knew this city was home from the very beginning of my time here. How could I not when I enjoyed all it had to offer? Winter and summer recreation, intelligent and hard working people, and cultural activities and entertainment In college I worked for a developer who owned and managed downtown Madison rental properties Upon graduation, I started purchasing, rehabbing and managing income properties in the downtown and near east side of Madison

In 1998 I got my real estate license and this quickly grew beyond the personal and into a service career, where I was able to work with people to achieve their real estate goals It was never just about getting a home sold or a buyer into a new home, it was so much more than that My mission was to help people understand their own needs and desires in a home and neighborhood, to identify a property’s full potential, and to help my clients crunch numbers and budgets to make an informed financial decision This committment to my clients is what has made me a top Realtor® in Madison since 1998 Every day in the field I use my years of diverse experiences and knowledge to help clients realize their dreams

In 2001 I started Liz Lauer & Associates, a collective within a larger real real estate firm This become the brokerage of Lauer Realty Group® in 2015, giving our agents the freedom to practice real estate in a small, tight-knit community of professionals. Our mission is to maintain a supreme level of service while providing masterful marketing and helping our “nation” or Madison neighborhoods flourish. I am truly proud of the agents in our collective and know your experience with Lauer Realty Group will be powerful results from these real people

Within this collective, my focus is as a Listing Agent and being able to use my extensive experience and knowledge for you This includes everything from understanding current market conditions and preparing your home, to powerful negotiating and a detailed, specific marketing plan which are all designed to get you the best possible sale terms
