If only I had hired Jason BEFORE I entered into a contract...

I live out of state and was in the middle of a transaction to buy a condo in Wisconsin when I realized I was making a horrible financial mistake. Some information had been withheld and some was coming in after my offer. In a panic, I called several Wisconsin real-estate attorneys to see if I could br...eak the contract; Jason Greller was the only one to call me back. He listened and said it wouldn’t be easy as I had signed away basically all of my rights. I hired him with little hope, but am so thankful I took that leap of faith. He was relentless in looking at every detail. He was honest and direct talking to me. Jason helped me to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution with the seller. He was very fair in his charges; he earned every cent. My only regret is not seeking Jason’s counsel BEFORE entering into the real estate transaction. I came to realize that not only does he have the expertise of the law concerning real estate and the knowledge of realtors in general, but using his services is a huge bonus as it takes the emotion out of the situation. He is truly working just for you. My advice: Get a real estate attorney. It will save you money in the long run and you will undergo much less stress. You are paying him to protect you. My many thanks and much appreciation to Jason Greller for his patience and expertise helping me.

Excellent real estate attorney in Madison

Jason helped us buy our first home (and sell it 10 years later), and now he just helped us buy our dream home. We had an issue with our bank dropping the ball at the very last minute, which was very (very) stressful, and throughout it all Jason was a steady hand who helped keep things in perspective... and on track. He's a good person and a great attorney with extensive experience (which comes in handy if something unexpected comes up). I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling real estate in Madison.

We hired Jason Greller to guide us through the purchase of a privately sold home. As as a first-time home buyer, I wasn't clear what and when tasks needed to be completed. Jason efficiently organized the material and deadlines that ultimately got us to closing on-time with all required tasks comple...ted. He was easy to work with, present but not omnipresent and holds a trove of information and insight valuable for the home buyer dealing with the myriad of issues that stand between the accepted offer and closing. If we were to do it over I would without question hire Jason again. He did an excellent job.

Proficient, Prompt, Professional and Personal

Jason Greller is proficient, prompt, professional and personal. You won’t find a more attentive and knowledgeable lawyer. We have used Jason four times both for selling and buying homes (one condominium). Jason was always on top of things, letting us know what to expect in advance, catching discrep...ancies and potential issues and taking care of them before they became problems. He responds to emails and phone calls promptly. We have found that we are more comfortable with an attorney working on our behalf when we buy or sell a home rather than a realtor. Each of our four transactions were stress free thanks to Jason. While Jason is extremely knowledgeable, he puts us non lawyers at ease and answers any question clearly, patiently and respectfully. We highly recommend Jason Greller for anyone considering a real estate transaction.

Represented us as buyers and as sellers

Jason handled all the legalities and advised us on all the paperwork requiring signatures when we purchased our house. When the title company wanted to bury an outstanding lien with an insurance clause, it was Jason’s insistence that got the lien matter cleared up correctly. Turned out that clearing ...the lien from the title was easier than writing paper to hide it. Jason handled the legalities and advised us on all the paperwork for the sale of our old home. He wrote several amendments to the offer, including a rental agreement when the buyers wanted to move in a week early (against Jason’s advice). Due to the buyers being friends of friends we were inclined to make concessions that Jason counseled us were less than prudent. None the less, he stayed with it and wrote amendments to reduce our risk as best he could. Quite successfully. Jason handled all the paperwork, advised us on virtually every decision we made throughout these processes and collected signatures from all the parties involved. Considering all the work we required of him, (satisfaction of contingencies, multiple amendments and educating us at every turn so we could make informed decisions) we really got our money’s worth from him. Especially when the unexpected occurred. Just before closing on the old house, a truck spilled diesel fuel down our driveway. Jason has continued to advise us through this last minute crisis, which has continued well passed the closing. We seem to be clients that just won’t go away. I’ve kept Jason informed of the changing situation and his advice is truly a comfort. He has a way of mixing friendly humor with eloquence. I have learned a lot from him and won’t hesitate to recommend him as the clear thinking, diligent, trustworthy and thoroughly dependable attorney that he is.
