What clients are saying...

James provided exceptional personalized service through the entire process! The support staff was helpful and accurate with every detail. Highly recommend James and his team.

Thank you, Mark ,Jim and the entire Patton/Bitterberg team for all your personalized efforts. We called you because we were impressed with your integrity and approach when we bought our North Prairie house just under three years ago (you were the selling agent). Through the sale of our house now, the genuine and honest attitude really made our home sale a smooth and stress free effort.

I have known Steve Bauman for over 20 years and he provides superstar service in all aspects. Steve does not waste your time, he finds what you want and looks for it. He is relentless in his efforts to research the best places and presents them with a thorough knowledge. His advice have been so precious to us in finding 3 houses in the last 2 decades. You can ask Steve all you want, tell him all your concerns and Steve will always kindly tell you the answers. I have to say Steve is a pleasure to work with. My wife and I are very happy that three times in the last 20 years we found our dream home. Steve does not stop and finding you a home, he follows through all the details of the negotiation, inspection, closing and repair help we need. A true professional, always there, always available!

James did an excellent job in commentating when showing pictures of the condo. James bent over backwards to help us when some problems came up. Would highly recommend James to anyone to be their real estate agent.

Mark was a strong partner throughout this relocation transaction with a difficult set of circumstances from the first interview all the way through the closing. He was communicative and answered any questions I had thoroughly and quickly to help us keep everything moving along efficiently. I could not have asked for a better agent to have on my side throughout this transaction.

Mark was a wonderful broker for us. He helped us both purchase and sell a home within the year. He was very resourceful and always quick to respond to our questions. He is the absolute best and we are so thankful for him!

James was amazing from start to finish! From listing my previous house to working through the back and forth with the buyers and then helping me find my new home, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would definitely recommend the Patton/Bittenberg group for all of your real estate transactions, and especially James Riccaboni. You won't be disappointed!

Mark Patton is the consummate real estate agent. It had been 50 years since we had sold a House and a lot of rules had changed during that half century. Mark took care of everything.......his communication skills are outstanding and he is the happy warrior always witha smile on his face and nothing is too big of a problem to solve. He is extremely positive and that wonderful outlook is shared by him and makes the seller feel very confident. Our attorney recommended Mark and we are so very happy that she did because it truly was one of the best decisions we made for a quick sale of our home. Thank you Shorewest..... thank you Mark..... everything about this experience has been extremely positive and I would recommend your company and recommend Mark Patton to anyone who wants to have a great sale of your property. Jim and I are grateful!!!!!

James is fantastic and we would recommend him to anybody looking to buy or sell.

Our Experience with James was great! He is dedicated, looked out for our best interest, negotiated, very knowledgeable and was patient with us. Thank you, James, we will recommend you to anyone that needs a realtor!

Highly recommend.

Mark is terrific.

Mark Patton was extremely helpful and patient with our search for a new home in this very difficult market. His knowledge of home construction and the greater Milwaukee area was excellent. This was especially helpful as we were relocating from the west coast. He was a trusted adviser in the negotiation process which allowed us to acquire the second home we bid on for a fair price. That's got to be a record. I would 100% recommend Mark to anyone relocating or just looking for a new home! I will certainly use him for all my future real-estate needs in the Milwaukee area.

We first met James when we listed our home for sale in 2014 and we had 'agent envy' as James was representing the buyer of our home in that transaction. I said to my husband, the next time we move, we need to find someone to represent us like that. It wasn't too long after that we decided we were going to need to look into other locations once our kids became school age. When we dug up our old paperwork to find out just who that buyer's agent was from 2014, we came across James' contact information. Over the past 8 years, James has supported us through three different transactions and major milestones. He was with us every step of the way while we figured out where we wanted our primary and secondary residences to be. He also helped us navigate through a new build. In working with James we always knew we had an advocate on our side representing us. There's no doubt he has had our best interests front of mind and we have trusted him whole heartedly. His experience and vast knowledge of the market have benefited us in every situation we've been in. He genuinely cares and has worked tirelessly to support us in any way that we needed. Now that we are settled and our real estate journey is paused for a bit, we will genuinely miss him. But I couldn't be happier to call James a friend and can look back at these several years with a smile knowing we had the BEST agent fighting for us!

James is awesome! We have worked with James Riccaboni on multiple transactions and it has always been a great experience!

In the current market we were very stressed trying to find a home in Milwaukee. However, James Riccaboni was patient with our questions and guided us smoothly through the entire process from house hunting to the final closing.

Mark is so pleasant to work with! Always goes above and beyond to help, very ethical and extremely professional.

It was truly a pleasure working with James Riccaboni and the PATTON/Bitterberg team! James was honest, provided clarity without hesitation, was always willing to go the extra-mile, and was genuinely interested in finding a home that matched my family. He is truly an expert in his line of work, and I felt comfortable trusting his guidance and advice as I navigated the selling and purchasing processes.

As first time home buyers, working with Mark Patton was an absolute pleasure. He was so patient with us and really understood what we were looking for. He did an excellent job of helping us understand this market and never let us get discouraged. What a guy!

Excellent job , Mark did a great job selling our home , he was very helpful , available anytime when we needed him ,he has a pleasant personalty and he is honest ,we enjoyed working with him .I would definitely recommend Mark Patton to any seller or buyer .

Steve Bauman was excellent to work with. We felt that he always prioritized our time. He was personable and knowledgeable, and with that, made us feel comfortable in the home buying process. We would highly recommend him to any our friends that are looking to buy a home.

James is a true PRO and made everything effortless on my part.

We had the best experience working with Mark Patton and his team at Shorewest. I would recommend them to everyone I know. Thanks for a great experience.

James was phenomenal from the minute we had our first phone call. Even though I know he has many, many clients, it truly felt like we were his top priority. He showed us houses within hours of us expressing interest. I've been through one buy-side real estate transaction before, and this time, even doing buy + sell-side, felt so much easier and the process was smooth the entire way through! We plan to use James for all future houses and will recommend him to anyone who asks.

James Riccaboni right from the very beginning demonstrated a good feel for the market. He pointed out the things that could be done to improve the appeal of the property and maximize the return on investment. We had several offers on the first day of showing. Offers on the second day were up to almost $40k over asking. James certainly aimed at the right segment of the market for our property. Upon acceptance of an offer, James went right to work guiding us on the paperwork, and expedited their completion. The transaction from start to finish was one smooth process. We've recommended him to some friends who might be in the market in the future.

We worked with Steve Bauman who went above and beyond helping us find the perfect house and take care of all the details and challenges between the accepted offer and closing. Would highly recommend Steve!!

Steve Bauman helped us with our search and found the perfect house. He went above and beyond helping with any and all issues between the accepted offer and closing. I would highly recommend Steve and Shorewest to anyone looking for a new home!!

Mark and team did a great job. Lots of patience. Additional assistance with inspection items was also a great help as I have a lot of time constraints . Providing support documents ( comps) for appraiser was also very helpful.

Mark Patton and Shorewest are A1! We have moved 4 times in the last 3 years and we wouldn't use anyone else. Mark is professional and knowledgeable and accountable. It's hard to find that in any industry these days. Highly recommend!

Mark did a great job selling our home/horse farm. He was communicative at every turn. Handled the closing flawlessly and just a nice person to work with during the selling process. I would definitely recommend Mark Patton to sell your home. .

This was truly the most professional experience I have had in any sort of transaction in my life. James Riccabonni is a hero! I would vote he receive a National Medal of Honor if they have one for realtors. For two years he patiently showed us numerous properties until we found the location and structure we wanted, always with a smile and his professional demeanor and style. His knowledge of property and home infrastructure was impeccable. Every i was dotted and every t was crossed. We are very happy with the result and the overall experience. -CTH

Excellent 5 Star

We had the pleasure to work with James. My fiancee's parents previously worked with Pat and James, so we knew we were in good hands. James was courteous and patient with us, as this was our first time buying a home! He helped educate and guide us through this challenging market. He is very committed and holds himself to the highest standard. Above all he was attentive and able to line up showings as soon as they hit, sometimes even before!! We would highly recommend James to anyone looking to buy a home. His knowledge, determination and friendliness made him easy to work with!

We cannot recommend Jim enough. As first time homebuyers in a crazy market, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Jim was patient, answered all our questions, and really took the time to find us houses in our price point even though the market was scarce. He got to know us, picked out things we liked and didn't and shot us straight the whole time. He was always honest and gave great feedback for putting in competitive offers. We are so grateful that when one of his clients was thinking about listing, Jim thought of us immediately and got us into the house before it went on the market. Bonus, he's great with parents - keeps them very entertained during inspections!

Fantastic work by the entire Patton Bitterberg Team! Steve went above and beyond to support us find our new home. He and the team were very insightful and supported us from the initial consultation until closing.

Our experience with the Patton-Bitterberg Group of Shorewest Realty was nothing less than exceptional. Their phenomenal marketing materials, continuous communications and prompt follow up is what made dealing with them so assuring. My husband and I pride ourselves with our attention to detail and getting the job done as efficiently and quickly as possible. Pat Bitterberg was even a step ahead of us by dotting every 'i' and crossing every 't.' They conduct themselves in a very ethical manner with the highest integrity. Truly a pleasure to work with! We would highly recommend Pat and her team to anyone looking at selling or buying a home - we could not have sold our home without them! Jackie & Russell Schwei

James was great to work with! Very friendly, on top of things, cares about the quality of his work. Made the process as seamless as possible.

When looking for our second house we knew it wasn't going to be an easy task. We wanted something 1.5 hr away, on a lake and with land. Working with Jim we felt confident that he was up to the challenge. Not only did he help us find our perfect house but managed the offer and closing process seamlessly, including several unique issues that came up along the way. At every point we felt like we were the most important client to Jim even though we knew he was very busy day and night. Jim's drive and relentless desire to succeed for us is very much appreciated.

James Riccaboni is an excellent real estate agent and always puts the needs of his clients first and does a tremendous job at negotiating the best potential outcome for his clients.

James's extensive knowledge of the Brookfield real estate market helped secure our dream home. Without having James on our side none of this would be possible. Likely one of the hardest working realtors out there who understands the need to develop a personal connection with each of his clients. We always loved getting text message updates from James throughout the home buying process and now that our house hunt is over we truly miss that! Honest opinions, very patient and made the home buying process in the midst of a pandemic as 'normal' as possible!!

10/10 would recommend James for any young family looking to purchase their first home! We were first time home buyers, and coming from out of state at that. James worked with us every step of the way, and at our pace. He never pushed us towards something we didn't want, and he made my husband and I feel comfortable in what we were doing and the decisions that came with it. We will recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in SE Wisconsin!

Thanks Mark! My condo is small potatoes in the realm of your business but you never made me feel that way. I couldn't be happier with the job that you did and how quickly it was listed and sold. You made the selling process easy and fun thanks to your energy and professionalism!

5 STARS. Enjoyed working with the team and especially enjoyed working with Mark who was our agent. He was extremely knowledgeable and we felt that he guided us through the process in our best interest.

This was my third time working with James, and even with the pandemic it was as smooth as before. We were able to quickly see houses as soon as they came on the market, and though we lost a few along the way, I ended up with a fantastic house and great experience.

Mark Patton is the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. He did a spectacular job during the whole process. He was readily available for any questions/concerns that I had during the process. Mark should be commended on a job well done. I hope he reads this, thanks from the Anglim Family!

Steve Bauman is amazing. He will treat you like family. Steve was extremely patient as I spent two years buying a property. Never pushed, but continued to treat me like a valued part of his client base. When it came time to sell the house he helped take care of the house like it was his. He took care of me like I was his son. Steve Bauman is an all star.

Working with James on our home purchase was an absolute pleasure. His experience and attentiveness showed. His ability to look out for our best interests in a transaction that both sides were amicable really made us feel comfortable.

We worked with Mark Patton and he was exceptional. His experience and knowledge of the local (Brookfield) market was highly valuable as we were moving to Brookfield from an 'out-of-market' location. In addition, his many established contacts in the area related to everything from home inspection (necessities of the purchase) to recommendations of various people to contact regarding assistance with post-acquisition plans was extremely helpful. Lastly, his responsiveness and availability were fantastic. In short, we had an extremely positive experience with Mark and Shorewest team, especially in light of the circumstances surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks for all the help.

When my wife and I moved back to Wisconsin from Florida we needed to buy a house so I called three or four realtors to start looking. None of them answered the phone, they all had an answering machine with a message to leave your name and they would call back except when I called Patton Bitterberg. James Riccaboni answered, he listened to my needs and setup multiple showings for my wife and I. We needed to make a decision and put an offer in in one weekend and James made it happen for us. That was nine years ago and since then we have referred James to all our family and friends. With no exaggeration he has sold over twelve houses to them and we all have the same feeling about Patton Bitterberg. EXCELLENT

As a first time homebuyer I had an excellent experience with James of the Patton-Bitterberg Group! He was always available to answer my questions/concerns and made the process very easy! He is very knowledgeable and always steered me in the right direction. You couldn't ask for a better realtor...thank you James!!

Mark is amazing to work with. We're lucky to have found him as our agent. It took us 2 months and 7 offers to close on our house, only because of the crazy market right now. But Mark was so patient and always there to give us the most genuine advices until we found the right one. He will definitely be our agent again in a few years when we're ready for an upgrade.

We had the most amazing experience working with James Riccaboni and the rest of the Shorewest Team! The incredible amount of detail, time, consideration, thoughtfulness and compassion that went into the purchase of our first new home in 38 years was just exactly what we needed to get us through this difficult, but incredibly rewarding move! We absolutely LOVE our new home and are extremely grateful to James and all of you for EVERYTHING you did to get us to this beautiful home! Thank you so very much! Jon & Betty Bakken

James was just great!! Our walkthroughs we're actually educational! As a first time buyer his advice and opinions were very valuable to me in a making an informed decision.

Jim did a great job. It was more than I could of hoped for. Thanks for everything.

Mark Patton is excellent to work with. He is professional and goes out of his way to do the extra work whenever it comes up with enthusiasm. A wonderful person.

I hired Mark Patton in October, 2019 to sell my home in the Wellauer Park neighborhood of Wauwatosa after my prior realtor was unable to sell my home in the summer of 2019. From the minute I met Mark, I knew that I made the right choice to hire him and his company. The reasons I hired him are: 1. His integrity and stellar reputation. 2. His high energy and enthusiasm. 3. His professionalism in marketing my home. What I learned about Mark during the sale of my home: 1. He was committed to keeping me informed 7 days of the week if necessary. 2. He produced a video with a drone and narration easily accessible to buyers. 3. He has a voluminous knowledge of the mechanicals of a home and access to honest persons to make repairs. 4. He is very knowledgeable of Wauwatosa neighborhoods. In summary, Mark Patton obtained an offer within a week of my listing with him. His hard work, experience and positive attitude made it possible for me to sell my home after the two snow storms of October and November, 2019. Mark is a superb realtor who loves his profession, and who cares about his clients best interest. Thanks to Mark, I am enjoying my new Arizona home.

Mark Patton was our agent. He did a great job. The process took a little longer than expected due to different objections people had with the house and then covid hit and we suspended showings for awhile. Mark was there with us through it all and was always present when needed. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Pat did a great job keeping us notified of showings and even came to a showing when Mark was not available. Overall a good experience and would use them again if the need arises. Will also recommend to others.

We could not have been happier working with James. He spent numerous months helping us find the perfect new home. He was always incredibly responsive to any thing we needed along the way. He was always timely when we would call or text with a question. I was also very impressed with how he worked through the multiple offers we received on the home we sold. I would recommend working with James.

Excellent job. They made reasonable suggestions on how to prepare the house for sale. They did a great job putting it on the market, high lighting its features. Interested buyers were quickly lined up, and we proceeded to closing with minimal difficulty. They were reassuring throughout the process so that there was minimal stress on our part.

Having had a 30 yr military career we have bought and sold homes over a dozens times. Listed our home in Brookfield with Mark and can say that he is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. Too many examples to list them all.

James was wonderful to work with. Great guy and was on top of everything. Very happy. Will refer all our friends and family to James. Give this man a raise!

Mark Patton was professional, responsive, enthusiastic and easy to work with. He came highly recommended and I felt working with him was a great choice. I would definitely ask him to represent my interests in any future real estate ventures.

Mark was the best realtor we've ever done business with. I will be recommending him to anybody I come across that is looking to buy/sell a home!!

James is amazing. Hands down, the best. We had a rough time with both the listing agent and our loan officer, and James stuck by our side and did everything in his power to get us to closing on our first (and hopefully last) house. We first met James a couple years ago; he was the listing agent for a house we toured. His friendliness and enthusiasm led us to ask him to be our agent 2 years later. From doing multiple virtual tours, to hunting down documents needed for processing our loan - James went above and beyond the call to action and we are forever grateful. We cannot thank him enough for all that he did to help us buy our first home. We would recommend James to everyone who is getting ready to buy a home. Thank you James!

Amazing experience all around! The video and photography was fantastic and made my property really shine. It generated a lot of interest and quickly too! I look forward to working with them again.

Extremely satisfied with James at Patton-Bitterberg. James was always available for questions/concerns and provided constant updates. The process of home buying and home selling was made very simple with James. The next time we need to buy/sell a home we will be going with James again.

Thanks for the Quick and Organized services. It was very appreciated!

We worked with James and he was wonderful. Very helpful and responsive at all stages of house hunting, buying, and selling our condo. We felt very comfortable with James as he was very through with everything and detail orientated. He went above and beyond even without us asking. We will defiantly use him again if we ever sell this house! He made this process as stress free and painless as possible and we highly recommend him!

Steve Bauman was assigned to us by the company that was conducting our relocation from Brisbane, Australia to SE Wisconsin. Meeting Steve was the best thing that could have happened to us, with so much change and disruption in our lives Steve was the man of practical assistance, going well beyond just providing us the house of our dreams, at a low but fair price and purchasing it for us before we had even seen it in person! We had complete trust in him, we knew that he would always look out for us, he was no ordinary realtor. He didn't just buy our house for us but also set us up with a banker, painter, flooring finishers and answered every possible question we could think of about living in Milwaukee. After such a good experience, five years later when we decided to start buying investment properties in Milwaukee Steve was our natural go to, indeed we looked forward to the opportunity of working together with him once again, and he is a gift that just keeps giving. Steve has helped us navigate every step of becoming a Landlord, from helping us find areas of great investment opportunities, to tapping his extensive list of contractors to help us. Whenever there has been a need, or where he could be or assistance Steve is there and we couldn't thank him enough. Looking forward to working together on our next property purchase!

If we could give Steve Bauman a rating of 6 stars we would. His knowledge of the market helped us find our dream home. He was always available for questions. We have already recommended him to others. It was nothing but a positive experience every step of the way. Bill and Linda Rinehart

The entire process was handled with the utmost professionalism. Mark Patton and group sold us the home in October 2005 and here we are Mark sells it again. Mark is by far the most professional I have ever worked with, he is the ultimate communicator, knows what and how to say things. Gets to know details that make a difference in sales or in other words adds great value in the process. I am sure Shorewest is thrilled to have him and the team. He knew just how to position the home and it worked, sold it on the first day of the listing. Thank you for allowing us to have him.

The Patton-Bitterberg team is great. Steve Bauman is a wonderful realtor. We've used him to buy and sell two houses. Each time he made the whole process very easy. His attention to detail and customer service is absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of the area, other realtors and local repair and service companies was very helpful. We very highly recommend him. He has our complete trust and gratitude. We've come to consider him a good friend. Thanks Steve!

Pat, James & the rest of Patton/Bitterberg Group of Shorewest Realtors were wonderful to work with! Pat & James we're knowledgeable about not only the real estate market but also the process of the transaction from start to finish. Their insight helped to make the process smooth and less stressful then this life event could be. They utilized professional photography & videography to showcase our condo coupled with a sophisticated marketing plan that involved a social media aspect that was impressive. Dawn & I would highly recommend Pat, James and their Group to all of our family, friends and colleagues. We would like to extend a whole-hearted thank you to all involved and wish you all the very BEST!

We recommend, without hesitation, our agent, Steve Bauman. Throughout our entire home buying process he was tremendous: professional, kind, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He coordinated all of the work that needed to be done on our home-to-be, and continued to help us after the closing. We are so grateful for his help and will be recommending him to everyone we know. Thank you, Steve!

Pat and James were very professional and extremely helpful during the selling process. I also appreciate their honesty, last fall we looked at listing our home, Pat recommended waiting till February. Pat easily could of said list it back in October just to land our listing, instead she said wait, she was right. I have nothing but good things to say about both Pat and James.

James an Pat were a pleasure to deal with. Very educated in our market. They were in constant contact with us and made the process easy. Professionalism at it's best!

Mark Patton demonstrates what it means to be a full service realtor. Through the last 8 years working with him, he has shown why we can trust him completely. He brought us a potential investment property. Being out of state and on 'lock down' mark facilitated the initial viewing of the property all the way through final walkthrough and key handover. This deal would not have happened without mark. Truly a joy to work with.

Mark Patton and his team were incredible. With his many years of experience, Mark is extremely knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the real estate market. He conducts himself with the seller (myself in this case) and potential buyers with honestly, professionalism, and respect. I will not hesitate to turn to Mark and his team for any real estate needs that I might have in the future. Patton-Bitterberg have my highest recommendation.

Great to work with James, and to pair him with Nick (lender) they made things so easy and such smooth sailing

None

James is a friendly, hard worker, and a great American. I've always enjoyed working with him!

Mark Loves the real estate business and it shows. He was very patient in a trying stressful time.

Mark Patton is an absolute professional and his knowledge was very helpful. He made this process extremely enjoyable and smooth for us even given some challenges towards the end.

Patton-Bitterberg was a joy to work with. The agency is responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and look out for their customers. They have my highest recommendation.

Did great

We moved from the West Coast and needed a lot of help with our relocation. We were not disappointed! Our realtor, Steve, was on top of things and kept us informed with all that needed to be done in the process. Everything went very smoothly. We appreciated Steve's expertise, knowledge, efficiency and attention to detail. A great experience all around and we ended up with a home we love in the exact location that we wanted!

James is AMAZING!

I've now bought and sold multiple properties with Mark (and team!) and I couldn't possibly give a better review of them! They make the buying/selling process as smooth as possible and make what could be an overwhelming process very comfortable and manageable. Thank you for everything!!

Mark helped us sell our Milwaukee downtown condo and we had a very good experience. Gave us the right advise considering our best interest. He is pro at marketing, knows the market and would bring the right buyer. Very transparent and great communication throughout the transaction. Very pleased and highly recommended!

Mark Patton and his team continue their stellar reputation in our family and in the community of Brookfield. We can't say enough about his attention to every detail in helping us sell our home. His advice and experience are second to none, and we would recommend him to anyone interested in selling their home! What a great and easy experience!

James was helpful and professional throughout the home search and purchase.

Steve Bauman was a pleasure! He worked with us to prepare our home of 15 years for sale, and gave us honest feedback and suggestions. Steve was extremely knowledgeable of our area, and obviously had experience living and working in our part of Brookfield. Along with James and his own clientele, Steve was able to bring several families through our home prior to listing... and it worked! We received a full price offer from a wonderful family without even listing our home formally. We truly thought our home would sit on the market for a few months, so suddenly we had to buy a home as well! Steve was so helpful with setting up quite a few viewings in the Lake Country area, and found us a gorgeous new construction in Delafield. He worked 100% as our agent, and was critical in our offer being accepted as well as ironing out a few glitches like a pro. My husband and I are very grateful that we gave Patton-Bitterberg a call (came highly recommended), and that Steve answered our request. The process was so smooth and efficient, and Steve was quite patient with our changing needs and desires. Our texts and phone calls were answered quickly, and you truly felt like their only client (we sure know we aren't!). Thank you, Steve!

Superb job!! James bent over backwards to help us find a house within our two week window. He supplied us with excellent market research, made recommendations on houses that were right for us and then helped us navigate the negotiation process. He made the process easy. Thanks James!!

James was very helpful throughout my home buying process. He was able to answer all my questions and even address things that I wasn't aware of, since this was my first time purchasing a house. The process went very smooth and he always made sure I was comfortable with what was happening. Highly recommended!

I am convinced that James is the hardest working man in the biz! We appreciate James' professionalism and attention to detail. He is extremely knowledgeable and was such a pleasure to work with. We eagerly refer any of our friends looking to buy or sell to him.

We were fortunate enough to have Mark Patton's assistance finding our Dream Home. Mark is the professional you want to help you through the details of finding your next home because he truly cares and puts your interests as top priority! Add-in Mark has a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge to help you navigate the Real Estate landscape. I have already recommended Mark to a dozen family and friends!

Steve went far above and beyond what I would have ever hoped for out of an agent. Couldn't recommend more highly.

My property was unusual in several ways, and required both excellent understanding of a complex marketplace and persistent effort to sell. Pat Bitterberg and the Patton-Bitterberg group showed the sort of tireless effort, great expertise in the market, and a very supportive and encouraging approach which led to a successful sale. Their excellent reputation is richly deserved.

Mark Patton exceeded all expectations as our agent. He helped us through the process with constant professionalism and enthusiasm. He answered any and all questions we had, made himself available whenever we had concerns or needed assistance with anything, and connected us to other reliable professionals. If I had to buy or sell a home in the area, I would not want to work with anyone else.

James Riccaboni of the Patton-Bitterberg Group recently completed the sale of our home in the Chapel Hill subdivision in Brookfield. Their Team did an excellent job for us from start to finish. Starting with our initial interview, their market knowledge and professionalism, led us to realize we would be well represented. After an in depth examination of Comparables and market trends we were able to set an asking price that we felt represented a good value for potential buyers and us as the seller. James followed this up with a First Class marketing campaign that featured both still photographs and full video from both the ground and aerial views. When he was done we had a comprehensive tour of our home that outclassed all of the comparable listings in our market area. This was proven to be true with the very high showing volume we experienced throughout our sale process. When we were negotiating with the buyer James gave us accurate & timely information that helped us get to an excepted offer. And after the excepted offer James truly did his finest work with a very Particular Buyer who had many requests that were out if the norm. James worked seamlessly with the Buyers Rep to bridge questions that arose from multiple inspections and settle any areas of concern. James Riccaboni and the entire Patton-Bitterberg Group are the Best you could ask for & we recommend them as your First Choice when you decide to sell your Home!

Mark and his team are the best. Pleasure to work with and be around in general. Thorough and on top of the details...often times managing the other party and their brokers to ensure the transaction goes smoothly.

This is the second house that Mark and the Bitterberg team sold for us. Very professional and honest team!

My brother and I have had the pleasure of your extremely professional real estate services. You are all so intelligent and attentive to your clients. Thank you!

Steve was always very professional and knowledgeable about our property. He explained different items clearly and did not talk down to us. It was a pleasure to do business with your firm.

Excellent The property that was sold is very unique. There are many pluses and minuses attached to it. As a result, there were a limited number of prospective buyers. Steve Bauman, the agent, never let up in his attempts to sell the property. He shared all relevant information regarding the listing in a timely manner. He also worked to his fullest to see the closing to the end. Steve is an excellent agent and has the character and personality that serves Shorewest well.

They made our homebuying process easy and enjoyable!

Pat Bitterberg is the best. She covers all of the bases. She always keeps you up to date with every detail and makes sure that everything goes smoothly.

Our experience with James Riccaboni of the PATTON - Bitterberg team was excellent for both buying and selling. James was there every step of the way and couldn't have provided a better level of service.

I couldn't be any more pleased with the service I received. James was so supportive during the complete process.

This is the second time that we worked with James Riccaboni, and we could not have been more pleased with his services. James gets a 5+ star rating for his remarkable dedication and passion for his profession. It is not only his wealth of knowledge, but also his care and compassion for his clients that contribute to his success. He is not only a savvy realtor, but also a kind person who strives for the best outcome for his customers. Somehow, he manages to balance professionalism with a charming, easygoing personality. We will truly miss him, now that we are happily settled in our new house : )

I have only one word 'Magnificent'. I barely had time to breath and I was moving. I instantly connected with James Riccaboni...who instantly sold my condo. That's it in a nutshell. Thanks James.

We listed with Mark Patton on a Thursday. We had two showings on Friday, and by Saturday we had two offers, one of which was $13,700 over asking! Needless to say, we were very pleased. We also want to recognize WISignphoto, LLC. Their photos, walk-thru video, and drone footage were remarkable. The narration by Mia was on point. We found Mark to be knowledgeable, professional, and detailed oriented. We highly recommend the entire Patton-Bitterberg group.

Steve was wonderful to work with while selling our house. We had to move before the house sold. Steve helped coordinate snow removal, grass mowing and contractors to fix things since we had already left. We purchased this house thru Steve as well. If we ever get back to the Milwaukee area we will definitely be using Steve to purchase a house.

After a very thorough review of multiple agents in our area, we chose Pat Bitterberg and her team to sell our home in Brookfield and we couldn't be happier. Pat sold our house in one day and brought us multiple offers over the asking price. Pat and her team were very strategic in how they listed our house and I feel strongly that their efforts were the reason for our success. Everyone in the process - including the accounting staff - were totally professional, solid and thorough. The process of selling a home is exceptionally stressful and Pat and her team took the stress out of the process. I have never been happier with a vendor or consultant than I am with the Pat Pitterberg team of Shorewest Realtors.

Steve was wonderful. He was very patient with us, as it took over a year of working with him to find the right house for our family. He had some great insight into things that as buyers we didn't notice. We feel that he was very honest with us. On the flip side, we also used Steve to see our house. He did great! After holding a brokers open we received an offer an accepted it! We would definitely work with Steve Bauman again! Now that we are in our new house, we are having problems with the AC, the home warranty company is giving us the run around, and Steve has stepped in to help us out with dealing with them. He has gone above and beyond what is necessary. We are grateful for him.

James was EXCELLENT through the whole process! We really appreciate his passion and enthusiasm for wanting to find us a house to call home.

We were very pleased to work with Mark Patton. He is a professional and was a great businessman to work with throughout the entire process.

Excellent rating

Thanks to James we were able to confidently purchase our home without any stress or concerns. Very enjoyable to work with, and very thorough! He took all the thinking out of it so we could just sit back and daydream about what colors to paint some rooms etc. *jumping-high-five*

We were able to sell our rental property in Milwaukee without traveling there once. We had already moved out of the area and we were even vacationing during the bulk of the negotiations. It was wonderfully simple even though some wrinkles were thrown in due to existing leases with our tenants. Steve solved it in a thoughtful way that protected our interests throughout the sale regardless of the outcome.

I've utilized the Bitterberg group to sell homes from $600,000 to $55,000. I receive the same level of service no matter what the price. They are the best and I recommend them to anyone and everyone that is looking for a realtor. It's always a pleasure. Thanks!!

My Realtor, James Riccaboni was top notch! Not only was he very personable, he was also very knowledgeable and MOST professional which made purchasing a home seem less. I very much enjoyed working with James and will refer him every chance I get. Thank you!!

James is an awesome guy to work with. He was always on call to answer any questions that we had and was with us on marathon days touring houses until we found the house we wanted. He always had our best interest in mind and worked tirelessly to make our experience positive even when we had difficulties. I was impressed with how in tune he was to our needs and found us a great home in the location we wanted! By the end of the process my wife and I think of James more of a friend than a realtor. Thanks James!

The conclusion.....last month I was the seller, this month I was the buyer. Once again the Patton-Bitterberg Team was superb. Great group!

There is a reason this is the most successful realty group in the area......they are the best!

James Ricabonni and the Patton-Bitterberg team were outstanding to work with. We felt they were thorough and highly professional, and we were very pleased with the outcome. Thank you for making the process so seamless.

Our experience with Patton-Bitterberg was highly professional and pleasant experience during the sale of our home. Our agent, James Riccaboni was highly responsive before, during and after the sale. I highly recommend James and Patton-Bitterberg for their real estate services.

James Riccaboni and The Bitterberg group are fantastic. James has helped us through two home purchases and is currently helping us sell our first home, I can't say enough good things about him. He is personable, professional, and genuine. We will continue to go to him with future home purchases.

The Bitterberg Group served us very well. We knew Pat Bitterberg, who sold us a house 22 years prior. The group was very efficient, hard working and professional. Thank you for their wonderful service in selling our old home and finding and buying our new home. Kathleen Cottrell

Thanks to James for his expertise and first class representation!

James Riccaboni is the consummate professional. His vast knowledge of the market and industry together with his attention to detail, fair-handedness and skillful pragmatism make him an indispensable asset to his client and a trusted advisor. Whether it was buying or selling, the result was always very successful for us.

James was absolutely fabulous! We needed to find a home in short order and he made himself extremely available and we sure appreciate it! We found a great home and he made the transition EXTREMELY easy, which, for a relocation, can be quite stressful! Thank you!

James Riccaboni was fantastic in guiding us through the entire process of purchasing our first home. From the very first house we looked at to the closing, he was incredibly patient in answering all of our questions. We never once felt like we were rushed and knew our best interest was always what he had in mind. In addition to being a professional and knowledgeable salesman, he's truly a good person and fun to be around. We have no hesitation in giving him our highest recommendation and plan to use him in the future as well as recommend him to family and friends.

James Riccaboni was the absolute best buyer's agent we could've asked for. Employing the perfect combination of caution, aggressiveness, reason, and optimism, James made us feel comfortable through every step of the home buying process. As a highly organized agent, he ensured both we and the listing agents were fulfilling our respective duties. James is also highly skilled at extracting further information about listed properties by using strategic communication tactics and his enormous network of real estate professionals. We never doubted that James was working for our best interests. We will recommend him to everyone we know, and would feel privileged to work with him again in the future.

Mark and Steve gave us excellent service. Their expertise of the Milwaukee area market paired with professionalism makes them bar none the best!

5 Stars. Steve worked so hard to find me a home that would surpass the last one he sold me. He did an excellent job and found me a fabulous home in a wonderful area. I have already met my neighbors and it is going to be great living here. Steve put up with me and my many, many questions so kindly and professionally. He made it easy to make the move.

Steve Bauman is the first real estate agent of 4 we have now worked with in 5 years (we have moved a lot) who I can unequivocally endorse. He is attentive, detail oriented, and works at an extremely high level that met our admittedly high expectations. Steve is an excellent agent and will attend to any and every need you may have. I could not be more strong in my endorsement of his skills as a real estate professional.

Steve Bauman was wonderful to work with. He was patient and knew what we were looking for. Thank you Steve for getting us our fantastic new home!

Attentive and informative. James Riccaboni has been very helpful through the process.

Steve was great to work with. We hope to work with him again in the future.

James was amazing. Took good care of us throughout the whole process and made everything smooth and simple for us.

Great group to work with! Always worked with you to accommodate your needs. Would highly recommend. Very professional!

Excellent experience with Pat Bitterberg!

James is the best!

Steve Bauman is an excellent agent -- knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and hard-working. He guided us through the home buying process with ease, and was always available to answer questions and help us in any way he could. We highly recommend him!

The agent did fine and helped handle a higher secondary offer professionally. I am very satisfied with the results.

IT WAS GREAT DEALING WITH JAMES RICCABONI. NOT ONLY AN EXCELLENT SALESMAN, BUT A REALLY GOOD PERSON. I WOULD RECOMMENDED HIM TO OTHERS IN A HEARTBEAT. DON'T EVER LOSE THIS GUY. YOUR COMPANY DOES A VERY GOOD JOB. THANK YOU.

Entire process was very professional, I rate it excellent. Everything occurred without problem. Advice and instructions, all very helpful.

Mark has helped us buy and sell several properties. He's knowledgeable and trustworthy. We recommend him highly.
