“Jon and the TNT team were integral in finding our new home. We had a vision in our heads of what we wanted, but Jon opened our eyes to even greater options and helped us get a house we hadn't thought possible. TNT was communicative through every step of the process and we will definitely be calling them again when we're ready for our next move.”

“As we entered into another chapter of our lives, we realized we needed a home that would allow our family to continue to grow. Dani and Jon couldn’t have been more helpful in assisting us with this endeavor. Not only were we able to sell our property with ease, but would our property with ease, but we found our new home almost instantaneously. These two individuals are a fantastic team and made the process easy for us. Thank you Dani and Jon!”

“Jon and the entire TNT team had everything covered when selling our house. From excellent staging to market research, there was always a plan and excellent guidance when navigating the ever changing market. Jon was always there and willing to listen. Selling a house is never an easy process, but we could not have been in better hands. They are the ultimate professionals!”

“We have used Jon Teppo's team at TNT Properties to buy and sell our last 3 houses. I have no plans to use anyone else as we have had such good experiences every time! We started with my dad's house. He had unfortunately passed away and we were given an appraisel that showed that house in it's current condition was not valued enough to even pay off the mortgage. Jon looked things over and felt he could help us. The plan involved doing a small remodel. If we would have had to go out and find contractors to do this at that time there was no way we would have done it. But because Jon has a team that can handle things they took care of it and we were able to sell the house for enough money to make a 20k profit after paying for the remodel and all fees.
Next we were looking to buy a new house to accommodate our growing family. He found us a house that was spectacular but we felt was out of our budget. He checked things out and felt that we could make an offer for significantly less than asking price and still have a shot. He was right. We were able to make an offer that was in our budget and get a house we never dreamed we would be able to have. When it was time to sell this house once our situation change we again worked with Jon and team to do a small remodel and then sold the house making over 200k in profit on the house over top of the remodel cost.
Once again we were in the market for another house. We kind of liked the idea of building a new house but were nervous about a lot of the challenges we have heard that come with building. Jon put together a plan and we were able to build our dream home. However, shortly after moving in our situation changed again with our kids moving out so we needed to downsize. Again, we looked to Jon and team who helped do some touch ups to things and worked with us on staging and we were able to sell the house for 150k over our purchase price only two years earlier.
Lastly, we just bought a house that met a lot of our wants but needed a decent amount of work to meet some of the others. Jon helped us get in to the house at a good price and then worked with us to come up with a plan to do a major remodel to help the house meet our needs and with an eye to maximizing the resale value for when we look to sell it some day.
Would I recommend Jon and team? Absolutely! Here's why:
1 - any realtor will help you buy or sell a house. Jon though really wants you to get a good deal and will work hard to make that happen.
2 - Jon has a team that can modify houses to suit your needs or to get in shape to sell. Instead of having to try and shop around for contractors which can be frustrating and cause people to just sell a house as is or skip a house that needs some work, Jon has the team and vision to help with both those things to not only make the buying/selling experience more profitable, but much less stressful as well.”

“We’ve never sold a house before, so we knew this uncharted territory was going to be highly stressful. Our #1 goal when looking for a realtor was to partner with someone who would minimize this stress.
We have known Dani Frank for years and had heard that she had recently received her Realtor licensing. We had never met Jon Teppo or even heard of TNT Realty, but thought we should contact them to see if they could help with the sale of our house.
Doing some research before meeting, we saw that Jon’s specialty is in Hardwood flooring. We knew Dani as a talented interior designer. When we initially met, Jon talked about their strategy for generating showings as well as their ability to use existing contacts within the remodeling industry to help with any contractor projects, should the need arise. I was happily surprised.
Looking for a low stress house sale, you would think signing up with a “rookie” and “flooring guy” wouldn’t be a good idea. (Not true!) I was also worried that the “Realty” work would play second fiddle to their other businesses. (Also, not true!)
During the initial meeting, as we toured the house and property, Jon was making notes on things that he would use while marketing the house. He also pointed out things that we could fix or tweak to help minimize concerns on a buyers part. Dani was also recommending ways to stage the house interior so that it would be very inviting to any prospective buyer. At one point, Jon actually apologized for pointing out so many “nit-picky” things – probably fearing that he would lose the listing. Not so… I prefer someone who is a straight shooter and will tell me what I need to know, not what he thinks I want to hear. I came to find that Jon will tell you exactly what he is thinking and also prefers that his clients specify exactly what they want from him. A great partnering relationship.
For this reason, it just felt right to sign with Jon, Dani, and TNT Realty. Boy, are we glad we did!
The house went on the market on a Thursday. By the following Wednesday:
We had an offer…
Full Price…
No Contingencies…
On a timeline that enabled us to have cash in hand prior to our new house purchase…
Low stress - BOOM!
After the offer, the value of TNT and their contacts in the remodeling industry really came to the forefront. During the house inspection, we found that we had a radon issue which the buyers wanted eliminated. Being that the closing was scheduled to occur prior to the closing on our new house, the work to install the radon mitigation system needed to be done ASAP. We called a few contractors and could not find anyone who would be able to complete the work prior to closing. Jon jumped into action, called in a few favors, and found us someone who was willing to move things around in order to hit our timing. Problem solved!
TNT may not come to the top of your mind if you are looking for a “brand name” realtor in Dane County. They do not sell dozens of homes per year like others in the area. They are a small, customer focused realty business who won’t blow smoke at you and will always give you the straight information you need in order to get the best deal on your home. I had a great, low stress experience with them and would highly recommend them to help you sell your home.
Jon, Dani, and the TNT Team, THANK YOU!”
