t the risk of speaking too soon, I think we may have just made it through winter. And, while it’s easy to enjoy Madison at any time of year, Wisconsin winters a ren’t for the fa int-hea r ted. Our pa ndemic hibernation has definitely put a damper on our social calendar, but the Madison real estate market has not missed a beat. The Sprinkman team is working harder than ever to find ideal homes and “just right” buyers to keep up with the high demand. We are so grateful for our steadfast agents and exceptional clients. See what we’ve been up to with our market recap (page 5).

Now that spring is looming, we can hardly wait to visit sidewalk restaurants, enjoy our alluring lakes, and walk to our new favorite coffee shop (page 8). We are also looking forward to bringing the color of the season into our homes. Read tips from Daffodil Parker (page 6) on decorating with fresh spring flowers.

We hope to see you pedaling, paddling, walking, and enjoying our unique Madison neighborhoods.

She guided us smartly through the listing process and sold our home before it officially went on the market. Her team provided exceptional service and we highly recommend that you hire Shelly and team for your listing (or home buying support). We can honestly say its the best real estate experience that we have ever had.”

C H A N G I N G S E AS O N S — Contrary to popular opinion, spring doesn’t have a start date, nor is it dependent on a change in the weather.

Bringing an airy freshness to your home can be as easy as deciding to do so.

T R A N S I T I O N I N G YO U R S PAC E — When you decide winter is over, it’s time to put away the heavy throws, open the blinds, set out an inviting bowl of fruit, and add fresh-cut seasonal flowers to your space.

KEEPING IT FRESH — Bringing flowers into your home brightens the mood, lifts the spirits, and brings joy and color. Spring flowers are especially unique as their seasonality is fleeting.

Featuring spring blooms in arrangements for your home reminds us that nothing lasts forever, not even winter.

A B O U T D A F F O D I L PA R K E R — Daffodil Parker began in a little yellow brick building just a few blocks from the Capitol Square in 2006.

Their current design studio is open by appointment, offering arrangements for weddings, corporate events, sympathy, and interior decorating.

<< F LO R I ST T I P Play around with your vesseles + search out local handmade vases by regional artists. Looking for something more modern, try stark white vases. They match anything and keep the arrangement looking clean.

T i ny D e t a ils, Bi g Payoffs Turning a home into a haven is not just about arranging furniture. It’s about creating a space that induces a sense of calm and well-being.

Getting potential buyers to fall in love with your home doesn’t need to be complicated.

Staging investments are real returns that you’ll see on the offer price of your home.

75 % SELL PROPERTIES FASTER Homes that are staged sell 75% faster than those that are not.

Your job is to relax and enjoy the process. We’ve got this, but don’t just take our word for it—

90% “After our initial meeting with Sprinkman Real Estate, things moved rapidly and my apprehension about moving melted away.

A visit from the staging expert helped me see my house from an important perspective –the perspective of a potential buyer. I took their advice, and we were off to the races.

Martin, the SRE photographer, was the next to visit. He found the features of my house that I have always loved and brought them into focus. I remember seeing the photos and saying, “Wow, I’d totally buy this house!

And just like that, we held our breath, refrained from using the “staging towels,” and waited for the first day. By the end of that day, we had a full-price offer.”

—Kimberly Hazen, Happy Client

INCREASE BUYER INTEREST 90% of buyers start looking online, where you only have a few moments to catch a buyer’s interest.

83% HIGHER SALE PRICE 83% of staged properties sell for the asking price or above.

“We recently purchased our dream home and property with Shelly and Sprinkman Real Estate, and my wife and I could not be more pleased.

We are so excited for our future in our new home!

Shelly and her team were extremely professional during the entire process, friendly and open minded. After meeting Shelly, I quickly understood why Sprinkman has the reputation for being one of the best in the business. Everything is done with high quality and class! My favorite was the bottle of champagne that Shelly hand-delivered to our door with our accepted offer from the sellers! I would strongly recommend Shelly and Sprinkman Real Estate for your buying or selling needs.”
