What clients are saying...
Working with the Bailey Team has been a wonderful experience. Bridget has been wonderful and so accommodating with setting up appointments whenever requested and on short notice. Her knowledge at pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of particular properties has been very helpful. Kim has been very helpful in explaining and walking me through the closing documents and Mary Katherine has been great with ideas for updating the property. It has been a pleasure working with them and I would highly recommend them.
The Bailey Team was exceptional in every way. They made the purchase of our new home AND the sale of our old home very easy.
We have bought and sold several homes and as a result when it came time to choose an agent for this transaction we did a lot of internet research. We found the Shorewest and Bailey Team websites easy to maneuver and informative. We then set up an interview with Bridget Bailey Behren. MK, the team's stager, also came. They gave an informative presentation and were very cordial. When asked why we should choose to work with them Bridget responded without hesitation, 'Because we care.' We chose them and are very glad we did. They continued to show us that they cared. We liked that they are a team and they worked well together as a single unit. We always felt that they were acting 100% as our sellers agent. They kept us well informed, were always prompt in responding to us, and worked with us on inspection issues that needed to be addressed. Bridget demonstrated an excellent ability to negotiate and Kim, the transaction person of the team, was very knowledgeable and helpful. We ended up with multiple viewings in 2 days and 4 offers above our asking price which was not a low ball price. The team continued to work to make sure the sale closed smoothly.
We had a great experience with Bridget and Kim! We had a buyer back out, but the Bailey team moved forward with a solid plan and strategy, and we sold shortly after. Their recommendations for improvements were great, and their staging was excellent, making the house stand out and look amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a house. They are experts in Whitefish Bay and the North Shore area, with a magnitude of experience.
My experience with buying a house through Bridget and the Bailey team was superb. Bridget was so professional, friendly, available, and just overall amazing. I could write paragraphs lauding her but will summarize by saying I grew to trust her nearly instantly and was so appreciative of how she made me feel empowered and supported during a challenging time to buy.
This team is amazing!!! White clove treatment from start to finish. Selling a house can be a very stressful time, Bridget and her team were absolutely wonderful. After the pictures and video of the house were shared, I could not believe that I was looking at my house. Their staging expertise is off the charts. Nice job Shorewest, you hit a home run with this team! thank you, thank you, thank you
Phil & team were attentive, kind and communicative. They were on top of everything and helped me navigate getting my first home! I loved working with them and would definitely recommend to friends & family!
Phillip Bailey was our realtor for our first-time homebuyer's experience and I could not have been more pleased with our overall experience. Phillip helped us narrow our scope and figure out what type of home we really liked best, then was incredibly patient with us as we waited for the right home in the right location to hit the market. Over the months a few good candidates came on the market, and when it was time to put in our first offer, Phillip was agile, accurate, and effective in drafting the documentation and getting it over to us to sign. Though we lost a few of our initial bids, Phillip used the experiences as lessons learned for the future and helped educate us on the current market, which eventually led to us landing a property that will be a very good fit for us and our family going into the future. When we go to sell our house, or buy a new property, Phillip and the Bailey Team will be the first people we call.
Bridget was great!! Not only did she help us find a wonderful, but we also made a great friend in the process! Would (and have) recommend her to anyone looking for a home. She made what was a tough process given the current market a blast!
Buying and selling a house in 2022 has been a wild ride but every one of the Bailey team members has been there for us! Can't thank them enough of their support and guidance.
I could not imagine working with anyone other than the Bailey team and I cannot recommend them enough to my friends and family. Buying a home is an intimidating process, even more so in a competitive market. However, throughout the entire process the Bailey team was with me every step of the way providing insight and guidance. From the first day, the team was working with me to figure out my ideal home. We discussed price, size, location, and the level of effort I wanted to put into my next home. To me, the most important guidance they provided was for me to see my new house not for what it was, but for what it could be. They have set me down the path to curating my dream home and I truly could not have done it without them.
I didn't think it was possible, and it sounds very cheesy, but Bridget made my dreams come true with my first house! Just like people, no house is perfect, but this one is damn close and I really have to thank Bridget for making it everything I dreamed of and could hope for. Her and her team were helpful, supportive and enthusiastic throughout my entire journey. Thank you, Bailey team - THANK YOU!
I was beyond fortunate to have the Bailey Team leading me through my entire home purchasing process. From day one, I had complete confidence in Bridget's expertise. When starting this search, I had some visions of what my dream first home would look like and where it would be located. But shortly after we started looking, it became very evident to Bridget that I actually had no idea where I wanted to live or what I wanted in a home/property. Bridget's relatable and easy-going personality made me comfortable opening up on a personal level which helped her best understand my needs and what I was actually in search of. By no means is this an easy task for anyone but, she made it her mission to find my perfect first home. Bridget spent countless hours walking through more than 100 homes with me starting in Whitefish Bay, going as far north as Grafton, and as far west as Hartford. She would take my feedback from each home we viewed to better personalize our search as it continued. I cannot fully express how committed Bridget was to finding my perfect home. I took comfort in knowing that it was 'our search' not just 'my search'. Without question, she turned this very stressful and daunting process into a fun and exciting one! From time to time, homes did not have all the bells and whistles I was looking for. But without fail, Bridget had exceptional ideas for what a place could be. On the spot, she could describe her visions (or pull up an example if I couldn't picture it). It was even more impressive that she could estimate with incredible accuracy what I would need to spend to implement these changes. These estimates were tremendously helpful as I wanted to incorporate these improvements into my total purchase cost. Not only did Bridget perfectly depict the changes I wanted to make but, she provided fabulous contractors that could deliver each project. With her help and these connections, I was able to have six relatively significant projects completed within the same week I closed! At one point during the search process, I needed a break. Bridget was incredibly understanding and supportive while giving me the space I needed to clear my head. As soon as I was ready to start searching again, she was excited to jump right back in with me! In this competitive market, it felt like time was often of the essence when we wanted to make offers on homes. Fear not, the Bailey Team was always ready to hop into action at a moment's notice. Bridget would call on her amazing teammates to pull comps, thoroughly review inspection details, and draft offer letters at all hours of the day. I truly could not have asked for anything more from Bridget and the entire Bailey Team! I am almost two months into my new home, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I am so grateful for all of Bridget's help spanning from our first day of showings through weeks after my closing. Although I have no intensions of moving anytime soon, I am excited to work with Bridget again when that time comes!

The team was very easy to work with. They sold my house quickly and handled everything professionally. We were very pleased with the outcome.
An excellent blend of personal and electronic communication. Ideal for those cases where distance is involved.
We have worked with The Bailey Team through at least 8 transactions, and many more offers, personally and professionally, buying and selling, due to the knowledge of and contacts within the market, and outstanding customer service!
The Bailey Team is a fantastic team that made the home-selling process easy. The entire process from initial talks to an accepted offer was completed in about 45 days. The Bailey Team provided advice on improvements to make and recommendations on contractors to make them. They brought in furniture for staging, had the house looking great and we received multiple offers in its first weekend on the market. Great team of great professionals.
I would highly recommend the Bailey Team if you're looking to buy and sell a home. The team was incredibly efficient at helping us buy and then quickly sell our home at above asking price. They were readily available to answer our questions and very responsive when completing all the paperwork which made the entire process quite smooth. They have an outstanding team!
Bridget and Barb were phenomenal to work with. Both from a buying and selling standpoint they look out for their clients and communicate extremely well. They put your mind at ease in terms of what's next, your thought process, and making sure you're taken care of at all times. We loved working with them. It was night and day relative to realtors we have worked with in the past. Big fans of the Bailey team!
Bridget and her team were fantastic in so many aspects of the process, our inspector even mentioned multiple times how impressed he was at all the niche, important pieces of the home that Bridget knew about. This was just one of the many ways Bridget was able to add to our experience as a first-time homebuyer.
As a first-time home buyer, I felt supported and well-cared for during this entire experience. Phillip Bailey helped me to keep my original goals at the forefront and found the perfect home for me. He knew what I needed better than I did! I'm so grateful for all of his care and guidance during a difficult process in a stressful housing market. Thank you, Phillip!
We cannot say enough great things about the Bailey Team. While navigating the crazy market, they were always extremely responsive whenever we needed them. Their experience and knowledge were the key components throughout both our buying and selling process!
Once again The Bailey Team has outdone themselves! We cannot say enough about this group. They put us first every step of the way and always were available for questions or concerns we had. We love our new home and can't wait to get settled in!
The Bailey Team was amazing to work with! Bridget sold our home in 1 day, over asking with multiple offers. From start to finish the team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and made the entire experience stress free. I would highly recommend them to everyone!!!!
We truly could not have bought our house without Barb! We were out of state when the house came on the market and Barb went above and beyond to help us with video calls and measurements so that we could make an offer we felt comfortable with. More than that, we learned we could trust Barb to be honest with us and put our interests first. She helped us find just what we were looking for!
They made me feel like family. They really took the time to get to know us. It felt like I've known them for 30+ years. Barb felt like a mother, even invited me over for dinner several times.
From start to finish, Barb and the entire team were fantastic. They did a great job with both helping me buy and sell a home. Their knowledge and advice were invaluable. The fact that they know the area so well really helped increase the value and bring in great buyers. I would not hesitate to use them again. I would highly recommend this team.
This is the second home we purchased through the Bailey team and we wouldn't have done it any other way. The whole team is professional, approachable, and willing to go to the ends of the world to make sure their clients are happy!
The Bailey Team was absolutely fabulous in selling our home. They went above and beyond and made the process extremely smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling!
The Bailey team helped us purchase our dream home and sell our previous home. They were amazing! They perfectly balanced their vast industry knowledge with our personal needs to find us the perfect home. We are beyond happy that we selected to work with the Bailey team and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to work with a top realty team.
Terrific job helping us find an amazing house and sell ours quickly in this challenging market.
Very knowledgeable , experienced; work well as a team; nice people- a good choice for us
The Bailey team is wonderful! Always available and quick to respond.
Bridget and her team were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. With this being our first home purchase, Bridget went into educational mode on a lot of things as we looked through different houses in different towns along the north shore. We learned a ton and her knowledge helped us make a very informed decision. The value she brought with her knowledge, personality and attitude were unparalleled and made us feel very comfortable in our final decision. Will definitely use Bridget and her team again when it's time to find a new home! - Scott & Karen
Bridget and the Bailey Team we're extremely helpful throughout the process of selling our home. Our situation was unique because we didn't want to announce our move and she was able to work around us helping with home repairs, staging and other recommendations. Our home sold the first day on the market. I truly believe it sold because of the connections this team has in Whitefish Bay which is key. We knew a lot of people in this industry but went with Bridget because of her ties to our community. I can't begin to thank this team enough for all the help and guidance during what was a difficult time for our family, she was instrumental in making us feel at ease and give us less to worry about!
The Bailey team was great to work with from start to finish!
The Bailey team is excellent; they are a 5-star team!!!! Both Barbara and Bridget bring lots of expertise to the process of listing and selling a home. When we met to discuss how Shorewest would market our home, their presentation was very thorough. Barb was very helpful moving me through the transition period during which our home once again became a house. As I recalled what I fell in love with when I first saw our home 25 years ago, it made it much easier to ready our home for the open house so that customers could more easily focus on its natural charm. Bridget is a very creative stager. Having never been through the staging process, it was a bit daunting. And to my delight, the morning spent staging the house was not only fun, but it was also a learning experience. A third team member, Kim was also very helpful and supportive as we endeavored to empty our home. All and all, our experience with the Bailey team was first rate!
Barb and Bridget did a very good job with our property. They were professional and covered all the details well. We cannot say enough about their team in general but Kim Shaffer Antonelli took care of all the details and helped us tremendously in the sale, moving out process and the closing.
Bridget and Barb did an OUTSTANDING job! Their staging gave our old house a very fresh look and appeal. We had many early showings and a fast accepted offer. I have already recommended them to our old neighbors who are soon going to sell their house. They are true experts.
Couldn't have asked for better! Barb and Bridget were amazing in helping us through our first home purchase. They were always available to help with any questions worked quickly to help us find a home in our tight timeframe.
Great working with this team!
Great job, thanks again!
Bridget and Barb were amazing to work with. They were both extremely helpful and informative throughout the whole home buying experience. Any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly. We were given many options to look at and exactly what we were looking for. They were also extremely helpful in giving us outlines and deadlines for when things would need to be completed. Another huge help was recommendations on who to use for inspections and the mortgage. Any recommendations they gave were great and were extremely helpful. I would recommend this team to anyone looking to buy a home. We can not thank them enough for all their help.
Great personal service and kept us up to date on all we needed to complete during the purchase process. Able to quickly show us homes when interested in listings at times which worked best for us.
.
Fantastic experience! Would recommend them to anyone. We had a list of items we wanted that were tough to find and they managed to find a house that checked all the boxes.
We loved working with Bridget and Barb! We felt they really got us and they were extremely proactive in getting us into every premier home as early as possible. We truly felt we were in the best hands for our home search and couldn't be happier with the final result! They also put 110% into staging and marketing our home sale!
