Erin Garnett
Relocation Director
Madison, WI 53719
Designations
I have been a licensed Realtor in Wisconsin since 2012, and with Stark from the beginning. I love working for such a family-centric firm, who keeps their finger on the pulse of our local trends. Since joining Stark, I have consistently been placed in their “Best of the Best” rankings, based on performance.
My approach when working with my clients is comfort and education. I am here to advise you throughout the process, but I ensure that you are understanding each step along the way. I truly believe knowing WHY is much more important than knowing WHAT you are offering or signing. This allows you to be able to relax throughout your sale or purchase and even have some fun!
Before getting my license, I had been engaging in many aspects of the food industry. I studied at Arizona Culinary Institute in Scottsdale, AZ and after a tenure at Kona Grill, eventually made my way to being the house chef for Kappa Alpha Theta sorority here in Madison. While I love cooking, I found that my passion truly lies in serving people, and helping meet their needs, but go above and beyond expectations. When I looked into the real estate business closer, I realized that I could do just that, and truly make an impact on people’s lives. Even better, I could incorporate the skills I learned while getting my bachelor’s degree in Marketing (Fairfield University School of Business)!
All of my education and years of customer service have instilled in me the importance of understanding the needs of my clients beyond how many bedrooms and bathrooms a home has. I would love the opportunity to do the same for you and your family!
I currently live on the west side of Madison, with my husband, Brian and our two dogs; Gulliver and Rocket. In my spare time I enjoy giving private softball lessons, sewing and playing dodge ball and kick ball.
"Erin helped my husband and I to purchase our very first home in the fall of 2013. She was very helpful in finding homes that matched what we were looking for and very patient when we changed our "must have's" list. We really felt as though our happiness was her main priority.She took time getting to know us to give us a personal home buying experience. As first time home buyers Erin did a great job explaining the entire process so that we were never caught off guard. Would recommend Erin to our family and friends in the home buying process. Thanks for helping us get our dream home!"

"Erin was great to work with. She has an exuberant personality. Her professionalism made us feel at ease with the process of buying our first home. - My husband and I had to bring our two young children to almost everything. Erin was extremely kid friendly. - She really listened to what we wanted and didn't waste our time with listings that didn't meet our criteria. - Erin responded quickly to our emails and texts. One day we had a series of 8 back and forth emails. - Her schedule was flexible. She met with us in the morning, afternoons, and weekends. We viewed a house the same day we asked and then Erin took us on two additional impromptu viewings that night upon our request. - She found us our house the first day it was listed and we were the first people to view the place."

First Time Buyer in Madison
"Before my wife and I met with Erin, the process of purchasing a home seemed impossible to manage and very overwhelming. Erin helped us organize and prioritize. She was never out of touch and even showed us a property on the first day we met. We now have our ideal home for our family in a neighborhood we thought was too pricey for our income. Erin met with us even on short notice and in terrible Wisconsin weather. She provided an absolutely extraordinary quality of service helping us make the most important (and expensive) purchase of our lives. I recommend her talents and abilities to any one seeking assistance in buying a home. The only difficulty with Erin is finding a way to thank her for the incredible impact she had in our lives."

"I had Erin assist me both in purchasing a new home and with selling my existing home. Erin knows the market well and was able to help me sell my home in just over a week! She's very easy to reach, answers your questions right away and knows how to market a home through many different channels in order to get fast results. She's very knowledgeable and I was able to learn a lot about the entire real estate process by having her as my realtor. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!"

"I can't say that my experience looking for a home was anything less than GREAT with Erin."
Chrissy
First Time Home Buyer
"Erin was great to work with, from the moment I met her at an open house, to the time I signed the offer paperwork to purchase a home. Being super busy, and traveling quite a bit for work, my schedule can be pretty limited. In addition, I was hoping to find what I was looking for fast. Erin was more than accommodating of my weekend availability, in addition to being super responsive to my frequent emails."
"Erin was an excellent buying agent for us as first-time home buyers. When we started the home buying process we were apprehensive and uncertain that we would even be able to make this dream a reality. Upon our first meeting with Erin she took the time to thoroughly explain the home buying process and answer any questions or concerns we had. From that moment on, she made herself very available and punctual for showings and responding to e-mails and phone calls. Erin went above and beyond what we expected from a buying agent. We found our dream home, and with the help of Erin, got an accepted offer. We could tell that Erin was just as excited as were about the home and genuinely cared that we were happy. We have and will continue to recommend Erin Frank as a buying agent to anyone in the market to buy a home."

"Erin helped me narrow down what I was looking for, and sent listings that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own. When viewing houses together, Erin was helpful in providing information about not only the listing, but providing solid realtor advice. "
