What Customers Are Saying

If you are buying or selling in the Blue Diamond Lakes area, there is only one: Eric Larson of Larson Realty! He was in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. His follow up is impeccable. He has years of experience. He knows the area better than anyone. He’s honest and  hardworking. This was not our first experience with Eric.

We had the pleasure of working with Kay through the sale of our cabin on the Chetek chain of lakes. Kay is knowledgeable, communicative, organized and an overall kind person. She made the process of selling our cabin smooth and we never doubted that all of the details were expertly handled. If you are thinking of using Larson Realty (specifically Kay!) - look no further.

So, the papers are signed, celebratory drinks have been consumed, boxes of "stuff" are now being packed in anticipation of bringing the girls up to the cabin this weekend.  I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.  I was looking through my past messages with you and I know that they have been numerous.  With each one, you always answered promptly and in full support of anything that I asked of you.  In my book, that is the key to a good customer relationship and I have been impressed with all of your work through this process.  You can be sure that I will sing your praises to anyone in the area and basically anyone that may be looking to purchase or sell property in the area.  I am very pleased and excited for the memories that we will make with our family and friends in the years to come. Again, thank you -- and should the time ever come that we will want to list the property, you will be the first person we call.

Thanks for all of the extra things you did to make this work. We feel very fortunate.

We first met with Kay in March 2023. We had a wonderful weekend lake home for nearly 19 years but had come to a point where we found ourselves using it less and, for practical reasons, realized we should sell. Kay, being the perceptive professional she is, recognized it was a difficult, emotional decision for us. Her understanding and thereby giving us the time we needed to carefully make the decision convinced us that Kay was the realtor for us.

Without any pressure whatsoever, Kay kept in touch, letting us know that she was available when the time was “right” and affirming that it was an emotional decision and that taking our time was best. Just over a year later, we reached the decision to proceed – and Kay went to work!

Kay completed a thorough assessment of the property and the market, then provided expert consultation on establishing the asking price. Just as Kay predicted, we had six showings and two offers at our asking price within a week. With offers in hand, Kay’s expertise, again, was so helpful in advising us as to the one that would best suit our goals. From accepting the offer to the closing day, Kay took all the necessary steps to ensure the due diligence and paperwork were completed correctly and without any delays. The closing went off without a hitch.

Needless to say, we heartily endorse Kay as a realtor who has the expertise, knows the lakeshore property market, and most importantly demonstrates a sincere commitment to guiding her clients through, what can be, the emotional process of selling their home. Thanks Kay!

I have worked with Eric on the purchase of 2 properties and the sale of 1. Eric is truly an amazing real estate agent that works with you. He listens, understands and is very knowledgeable. When SELLING - Eric is a wonderful listing agent who masterfully listed our property and highlighted all of the wonderful things about it. He knocked it out of the park with his responsiveness to our emails, calls and text messages. He has great knowledge when it comes to pricing, pre-sale preparations, marketing in our area and everything else along the way. The pictures he took for the property we sold were amazing! When BUYING - Eric has wonderful insight on every property we have looked at. He does his homework and has a built a report with agents from other agencies making the buying of a property seamless. He works his network during transactions and has a list of anyone or any type of service that needs to be completed during and after the purchase of your property. He made the purchase of our last two properties easy and did a lot of the leg work behind the scenes to ensure things went well. If you are buying or selling in Wisconsin your first call should be to Eric! You will not be disappointed

This is way overdue but we want to say how very much we appreciate Eric Larson as our realtor and friend! We'd been neighbors for 13 years when it came time to sell our lake property. Eric is understanding, knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. We greatly value his expertise and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property in your area

Kay listed our lake home on a Monday afternoon and by Thursday we had an accepted offer. She did an outstanding job communicating with us from our initial phone call through the closing of our property. We would recommend Kay and Larson Realty for anyone buying or selling property.

Thanks for all you did to get the cottage sold.

Kay was fantastic to work with and did an outstanding job for us.  I have never worked with anyone that was as prompt and responsive.  Kay promised to sell our house quickly and that is exactly what happened – sold one day after listing.  We will definitely work with her again and highly recommend her to others.  Thank you Kay!

We listed our rental property with Kay Nelson on 11/6/19, we had multiple offers and were under contract the next day, 11/7/19. We just closed today, 11/13/19, just one week after we listed our property. This is the second time we have sold our property in one day with Kay and Larson Realty. Don't miss out, list today!

Eric is a no pressure, honest and realistic realtor. He asked what we were looking for and ONLY showed us property that fit our criteria. When we submitted an offer and counter-offer, Eric didn't pressure us to accept any price that didn't make us comfortable. He's a credit to his profession and I highly recommend Eric to anyone who is looking to purchase property, sell or just need information to begin the process.

I struggled for years making a decision to put my lakefront property up for sale.  I’ve held on to it for so long that the dream of building a home and retiring up in Wisconsin turned out to be all but a dream.  So I finally came to the conclusion that I should put that dream behind me and I should sell this property.   Complicating factors that didn’t help is that I live in the Chicago Area and haven’t visited the property in years.

What was important to me is that I wanted to choose the right Realty company and the right people to represent me and my property and I set out to do my ‘due diligence’ in my selection process.  My ‘due diligence’ led me to Larson Realty.  Through the years of my ownership of the property I was impressed by the marketing materials that I’ve been receiving from Larson.  They have a top-notch newsletter that kept me informed through the years about the area.  I was really impressed by their stellar website as well.  It is professionally laid out and very informative and the photography of the properties they represent really convinced me that I should place them at the top of my consideration list.

So when I put in my call and talked to Eric Larson – he sealed the deal for me and I chose Larson Realty to sell my property.  He not only answered all my questions but he also brought up other considerations that I didn’t even think of asking.  I was sold on Larson Realty and made my relationship with them official.
My biggest misgiving was whether I could effectively sell the property from a long distance.  Eric assured me that he would personally walk the property and make sure it was presentable for sale – and that he did.   I was particularly struck by the aerial photography of the property he took from a drone.  Before seeing the results of his pics – I never even envisioned my property like that before.  How cool!!!

Kay Nelson was assigned as my principle contact for the sale and I began my dialogue with her.   She was the perfect person to handle the process as she lives on the chain of lakes where my property is located.  She handled the whole process for me very professionally, kept me in the loop every step of the way and made the whole experience a painless pleasure.

Between Eric, Kay and myself – with their experience of the market for lakefront properties in the area – we collectively came up with the listing price.  It was based on a number of factors including recent comparable sales of like properties in the area.  From the moment the property was listed we had serious interested prospects and in a matter of days the property was sold.   And – the whole transaction was completed long distance - over the phone and the internet.   Talk about being convenient.  

Bottom line – the whole experience from the moment I made contact with Larson Realty until the closing with the title company – it was a wonderful experience working with highly professional people like Kay, Eric and Larson Realty.    I highly recommend Larson Realty to anyone considering selling or buying property up in their area.  

Thank you for the hard work you did putting together a market analysis on our home and business. We appreciate the time and effort that you gave us.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all that you did to make our dreams come true!!!

Best thing I’ve done for my family. With the help of Larson Realty we were able to find our dream property!

It has been one week since we’ve closed on the Buck Lake home and we truly love it and want to thank you for how smoothly and swiftly this real estate transaction went. Thank you for your excellent service each step of the way. We appreciate it and please stop by anytime to see how all is progressing.

Kay Nelson is an excellent realtor! She did a fabulous job selling my river property over the winter. Thought I'd have to wait until the snow was gone but she took great winter pictures and I supplied some nice weather photos. Kay gave her recommendation on how much to sell it for. She will work with you to get the best price. I went higher but ended up selling for what she first recommended. I'm very happy with the whole process.
Thanks Kay! Really appreciate everything you did.

I wanted to thank you for all of your help and advice with the selling and buying of my homes. You were always there to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. Thank you so much!

I just wanted to thank you again for giving up your Saturday afternoon to remove scrap metal from my new Sand Lake property. There will be a nice site at the front of the lot for camping or a cabin, and I really appreciate all your hard work in cleaning up the wetland area. If I hear of anyone looking for a Realtor or property, I will recommend you!

Kay was amazing! We started out searching for land for our camper. Then we changed to looking for land for a house. Then we changed again to looking for an already built house. Kay stuck by us through all of this! She was extremely helpful in providing county information such as set-back guidelines as well as surrounding land use that might cause us concerns. Kay not only helped us find a new house, she also listed our previous house for sale - which sold in only a matter of a few days! I highly recommend Kay for your home selling or buying needs.

Thank you for helping us make this happen! We greatly appreciate you being there for us all along the many year process. We are so relieved to protect our privacy on Breezy Point Bay. Our entire family is appreciative of your help and expertise.

Kay did a great job providing a plan to go after multiple offers. We accepted an offer that was very clean and above our asking price. We couldn’t be happier.
