I went questing last week for a Realtor in Madison. I heard from precisely two people. One was a paranoid dinosaur who was convinced a free referral must be a scam. The other is a star in the making, I think.
I don’t know yet if she’s a good fit for my budding real estate investor friend, but I was so knocked out by the seriousness of her commitment to real estate that I asked her to join us here.
So: Permit me to introduce Jolenta Averill, an independent real estate broker from Madison, Wisconsin:
Jolenta Averill is a Realtor and independent broker servicing South Central WI. With a background in trading floor technology and customer service, she’s building a boutique cyber brokerage in Madison WI to help free agents from the chains of big box brokers.
Jolenta is convinced we’re smart and amazingly great writers, so I hope y’all can let her down slowly. Meanwhile, make her feel welcome and we can all watch he star ascend into the heavens.

What a day for Greg: goes looking for a referral and finds a bloodhound. I’m looking forward to hearing how your technical experience on the trading floor has affected your brokerage business. Welcome Jolenta!

The seriously committed win over paranoid dinosaurs every time.
Welcome to the pack. 🙂

Welcome, Jolenta! Bloodhound is a great place with some of the finest minds in the real estate industry.

My dad is the paranoid dino and I am the budding techno REALTOR. I understand how the difference between the two can be so profound. Cheers!

Welcome aboard! As long as you are seriously committed rather than should seriously be committed, you’ll do just fine with the gang…..

Congrats Greg and Jolenta.
I know what it is like to try to find a good Realtor to refer too. Been seeking a good Realtor in Hoboken New Jersey for a few days now, and it is not easy.

Welcome Jolenta. If you’re anything like the other Midwesterners here, you’re probably an amazing writer.

Thank you Greg for the invitation to BloodhoundBlog and for the undeserved but much appreciated accolades. (Be sure to go easy on me when I fail to live up to your vastly inflated expectations!) And many thanks to Sean, Teri, Malok, Scott, Tom, James, Eric, & Brian for the wonderfully warm welcome… I can tell already I’m gonna like it here!
