I’m Kaeley Simek, a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Milwaukee Southwest, and I help buyers and sellers throughout Washington County and southeastern Wisconsin. If Germantown is on your list, I can walk you through how its neighborhoods compare, what homes are selling for right now, and which nearby communities might be a good fit, too.

“Kaeley is the best. This was my second home I purchased, I can really appreciate her being an advocate for me along with offering advice on stuff as far as offers go. Also one huge thing, the organization she has set up for when the offer gets accepted. She has a checklist on the steps!”
