Specialties
Using our experience in Interior Design and Home Remodeling, we assist our Sellers in understanding each room's space and what should and can be done to a home to get it ready to sell! We also help our Buyers with buying decisions based on what they can do with a home they are considering. We really enjoy challenges and are ready to help our clients with every detail. We work for them and their needs!
Proudest Moment
Our proudest Real Estate Moments were when Robert received the Paul E Stark Award for outstanding community service and Susan received the Stark Relocation Award in different years, as well as the Stark Cornerstone Award. Each of these are awarded to one agent each year.
Why I'm an Agent
Both of us enjoy helping and serving people. Our talents and gifts relate to people's real estate needs and all the joy, challenges and details that go into it! We have been assisting Buyers and Sellers since 1991 and have reaped the benefit of a great Real Estate Firm continually guiding and training us.
We are a great team in life and in real estate!
Holding a degree in interior design and a past professional membership in the American Society of Interior Designers, Susan can visualize spaces. She can recommend modifications to suit our Buyer’s needs or assist our Seller in staging their home before putting it on the market. Robert’s dozens of years as a contractor, in both building and remodeling, brings with him a wealth of information and an easy going approach in assisting our Buyers and Sellers.
We can help you enhance your home, as first impressions count! Our goal, through honest pricing, good exposure and smart negotiating, is to help our Sellers make good decisions to get them where they want to go—on time. Our dependability and experience will help our Buyers make solid decisions selecting a new home and writing the best offer. Relax as we guide you through the entire process.
As members of Stark's Chairman’s Circle, past recipients of The Paul E. Stark Award for outstanding community service, Stark’s Relocation Award and Stark's Cornerstone Award, we are well established in this community. Our motto—Working by Referral to Better Serve You—reflects the satisfaction our clients have had over the years. Your ongoing referrals allow us to concentrate on doing what we do best!
"Little did we know when we began our journey a year ago how fortuitous it was that we found Susan Ames and The Stark Company..with Susan's assistance we chose a builder and Susan remained our loyal intermediary throughout the entire building process. Since we truly had our ally in Susan we asked her to list our current home. Throughout the entire listing period she maintained the most professional attitude of anyone we have done business with..my apologies for the length of this letter, but it is rare to find the professional and personal qualities that we found in Susan."
Diane
"I look forward to living in Madison and will gladly recommend you in the future to anyone I know who is looking for a new home."
Ellen
"Your calm, caring and professional way of walking me through the process is so appreciated. I always knew I could trust your wisdom and experience."
Laura
"We want to thank you for all you did in the sale of our home which sold in one week at a very slow time, 2 weeks before Christmas! We appreciate your friendliness, helpful suggestions and your professionalism up through the closing. We have recommended you to others and will continue to do so in the future."
Don & Lil
"Susan, We wanted to send you this note to express our appreciation for all your hard work on the sale of our home. We honestly do not know how we would have kept the buyer from walking when the unthinkable happened and the Monona sewer system backed up, destroying our finished basement. Your calm & honesty with everyone involved was definitely the only reason the buyer remained committed to the property. Without your integrity, we are convinced the house would not have closed and would have resulted in an even greater loss on our part."
Bruce
"Bob, I want to thank you for the exceptional service you provided in helping us find our home. Your knowledge of Madison and the surrounding area was very helpful in our decision of where to relocate. Thanks you for your patience as we searched for the right home. We were quite the indecisive couple and you just sat back and let us take our time."
Cindy
"She anticipated, followed up, stayed in continuing communication, had the lights on to welcome me the night I arrived...I commend her highly. "
David

Gary & Diane
" Having worked with Susan Ames in the past I knew that I could count on her professional expertise, her personal integrity and her delightful personality. This search began with "let's just see what's out there" and ended with a purchase that met every item on our wish list. It seemed that Susan not only listened to what we said but very carefully observed how we reacted. She was pro-active but let us proceed at a pace that was comfortable for us. I knew that Susan would focus on our best interests and she did. She made the sale of our house and the purchase of our condo seem effortless, taking care of all details while gently keeping us on track. Words cannot really express our gratitude nor our appreciation. "
