Hi and thank you for your interest in a property in the Geneva Lakes area. I’ve been helping buyers like yourself in our market since 1990. Over that time I’ve personally helped over 1,300 families buy and sell their property which has given me tremendous insight and experience that can benefit you greatly. Buying a home has a lot of moving parts that can complicate what should be a fairly simple process if your Realtor isn’t experienced or knowledgeable. My commitment and contributions to this market and our industry have been substantial because I love what I do. Helping people like you and your family. You recently showed an interest in property listed for sale and may have set up a property alert so we can “push” properties to you that match your criteria the moment they come on the market. If you didn’t, please do! Properties go very quickly in a good market and I don’t want you to miss out on the perfect property. I’m well versed in every area of the residential market in our area. That includes the lake rights associated with Lake Geneva, Delavan Lake, Lauderdale Lakes, Twin & Power Lakes, Whitewater Lake, and Lake Beulah. I’m also very familiar with Abbey Springs and Geneva National since I used to oversee offices in those developments. Finally, if you’re looking for an investment property, that’s how I got started in real estate so I can help and advise you greatly with that type of purchase. After owning my own RE/MAX company for 17 years I spent the last 11 years as the Broker and VP of Operations at one of the largest real estate brokerages in Walworth County. I was responsible for 7 offices and 80 agents. I bring valuable experience to you and your family from personally managing and overseeing nearly 20,000 transactions throughout my career. I started my own company for the second time when Covid hit. I wanted to get back in the trenches helping people like you. It’s what I enjoy the most. I can be a wonderful resource for you and your family and provide you with important advice, knowledge, and attention to detail to create the best outcome. In seemingly unsettled times as these, you can rest knowing we’ve got you covered on this one.

Precision. Strategy. Flawless Execution. Real estate decisions have real consequences. A missed opportunity can mean lost equity, costly mistakes, or months of frustration. As an investor, I’ve been on the wrong side of a deal before, and I make sure my clients never experience that. With a background in military operations, real estate investments, and psychology, I approach every transaction in a way most brokers simply can’t. I’ve spent years in high-pressure environments where every move mattered. I thrive where others hesitate. And if something is in my control, it’s handled. Real estate isn’t just about showing homes or sticking a ‘for sale’ sign in the yard, it’s about orchestrating outcomes. It’s about anticipating challenges, reading people and the data, deeply understanding real estate law, knowing when to push or pivot, and having proven processes. With my background, I blend strategy, psychology, and foresight to navigate complex deals while keeping the process seamless for my clients. My clients expect discretion, precision, strategy, and flawless execution. I deliver all four. About Jade: Before real estate, Jade served as a U.S. Marine Corps officer, completing two tours in Iraq. She holds a B.S. in Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy, a Master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and a Real Estate Investment Graduate Certificate from Harvard Extension School. Beyond her brokerage, Jade is Post Commander of American Legion Post 327 in Lyons and leads the Armed Women of America Southeast Wisconsin chapter, reinforcing her commitment to leadership and community service. She is also a shoots competitively with the International Defense Pistol Association.

Over the past 20 years, I have worked in the web development and marketing industry specializing in photography, videography, and search engine optimization. As fate would have it, my web and digital marketing work led me to work with many top real estate agents and brokerages. After having numerous clients tell me they thought I would make a great agent, I decided to get my license in 2017. My favorite part of real estate is the ability to form lifetime relationships with clients. Helping people find their “Dream Home” provides a level of fulfillment a few careers can offer. I am a firm believer in the fact that “Home is Where the Heart Is” and when you are able to help people find that special place and bring joy to their lives…you are able to allow the power of influence to take root. My best quality is my love for Truth and Transparency. Honesty is what sets us free and allows us to prosper. I don’t play the sales game and never put numbers ahead of relationships. I grew up in Burlington, Wisconsin, and am knowledgeable on virtually every lake in the area as I am an avid fisherman and boater. The Wall Street Journal called me a “Lake Geneva Historian” which I must admit even I got a chuckle out of. I do love the history of Lake Geneva and built the Lake Geneva Shore Path App out of a true fascination with the incredible stories of the people that have graced its shores over the years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my twin daughters, fishing, skiing, and enjoying the majesty of the lake.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the best real estate agent in Lake Geneva WI?
Look for an agent with proven local sales history in Walworth County, knowledge of Geneva Lake waterfront regulations, and strong client reviews. Legendary Real Estate Services agents are based in Lake Geneva and specialize exclusively in the Geneva Lakes market — call (262) 204-5534 to connect with a local expert.
What is the difference between a buyer's agent and a listing agent?
A buyer's agent represents you when purchasing a home — they help you search, negotiate, and navigate inspections. A listing agent (seller's agent) represents the seller and markets the property. In Wisconsin, both parties typically have separate representation. Our agents at Legendary Real Estate Services can represent buyers or sellers depending on your needs.
What commission do Lake Geneva real estate agents charge?
Real estate commission in Wisconsin is negotiable and varies by transaction. Historically the total commission has been 5–6% split between buyer and seller agents, but this has evolved following 2024 NAR settlement changes. Contact our team at (262) 204-5534 for a transparent conversation about commission and what you can expect.
Why should I use a local Lake Geneva realtor instead of a national agent?
Lake Geneva real estate is highly localized — pier rights, riparian access, STR ordinances, HOA covenants (like Abbey Springs), and lakefront zoning all require deep local expertise. A local agent knows which streets have public lake access, which communities have STR restrictions, and what buyers from Chicago are willing to pay for specific addresses. National agents rarely have this depth of knowledge.
