If you’ve spent any time in our Cedarburg Office, you’ve enjoyed crossing paths with Danie Bradford. She’s one of those rare agents who seems to effortlessly balance hustle, heart, and humor and she does it all while being an integral part of our team. Danie has built an impressive real estate career, but that’s only half the story. She also runs a thriving Airbnb business, proving that she doesn’t just talk about investment opportunities she lives them. Her entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to share her expertise makes her an incredible resource for both clients and fellow Sales Executives.
What truly sets Danie apart is the way she leads with integrity, kindness, and grace. She’s a shining example of the type of professional we’re proud to have representing our Brokerage Whether she’s guiding clients through one of life’s biggest transactions, mentoring a new agent, or simply lending a listening ear, Danie approaches every interaction with authenticity and warmth.
“You embody what it means to be part of this Brokerage, and we’re grateful for the example you set every day for your clients, your colleagues, and your community.”
Outside of work, Danie’s life is just as full and inspiring. She’s engaged to Dan and a proud bonus mom to Hayley roles she embraces with the same dedication and joy she brings to her career And if she’s not showing homes or managing her Airbnb properties, you just might find her on the pickleball court, paddle in hand, serving up both skill and a little friendly competition.
Danie, we’re blessed to have you in our Realty Executives Family You embody what it means to be part of this Brokerage, and we’re grateful for the example you set every day for your clients, your colleagues, and your community. Keep doing what you do best: making an impact with hard work, generosity, and a hearty laugh that’s contagious.
With Gratitude, Dale & Vicky

Tina Ferlindes
“Whenever a Sales Executive reaches decades of experience in the business, you pay attention. When the name Tina Ferlindes is mentioned, you immediately think “LEGEND”! Tina, thank you for nearly 4 decades of loyalty and support to the Realty Executives Brand in Wisconsin We are better because of your influence!
Approaching her first decade in the business is another dynamic Sales Executive and dear friend - Jen Gizelbach Interestingly, when Jen first joined us she was mentored by Gene Anderson, and when Gene first joined he was mentored by Tina The three of them became close friends, and their style of collaboration is a trademark of Realty Executives Integrity As you pour into others, you are also filled in return
While Gene is no longer with us in person, his joyful spirit lives on with the kindness and generosity of Tina and Jen!
Tina & Jen - THANK YOU! We are grateful for your support and loyalty over many years, and we are proudly associated with you in business and life!”
