He has always resonated with buyers as his deep roofed desire to continue to grow an investment portfolio has driven him to learn everything that he can about the local real estate market and financing options to be able to share with his clients. Representing sellers also comes naturally to Justin, as his fiscally conservative mindset leads him to view sellers' take-home proceeds through the stance of how he would want it to play out for his own family.
Alongside building one of the top producing real estate sales teams in South Central Wisconsin Justin and Kelly have also built up a highly respected property management business with more than 34 Million Dollars worth of multi-family and commercial assets under their direct care.
Giving back to the community that has been so incredibly generous to him is a core value. Justin considers his support of Charities like OWN IT!, Habitat for Humanity, the River Food Pantry, Gilda's Club, and Heartland Farm Sanctuary amongst his greatest accomplishments.
When Justin isn't out helping clients or studying the local market he likes spending time with his family. Two Teenagers and two large Goldendoodles help to fill his and Kelly's house with love and joy. Reading, Travel, and Skiing are all also passions of his! Justin and his family have traveled to more than 7 different states in their pursuit of the best powder turns on the mountain and if you are not careful he will talk your ear off about them!
Justin looks forward to learning about you and hearing how he can help support you in your pursuit of your life by design and achieving your goals and dreams!

I currently live in Marietta, Georgia, a town just north of Atlanta with my boyfriend, Chris, his two boys, four cats, and a dog. I am so happy to have the ability to be supported by a team of real estate professionals who allow me to work remotely and support my family. Yes! We have a very full house. I wouldn't want it any other way. :) I am a bodybuilder and business owner. I have a passion for learning and personal growth. I strive to be present in the moment and live each day with intention, dynamism and enthusiasm. I can’t live without creativity, self-expression and being able to read actual books with pages that turn. I enjoy traveling whenever we can and believe it opens your eyes, mind and heart in a way that nothing else does. Models and systems are my specialty and ensuring that the Witkins Realty Team is running on point and that our clients are keyed in on every aspect of their transaction from start to finish is a core value! Keeping everyone as organized as possible is my primary objective! I look forward to the opportunity to support and help you!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Grant to purchase our first home, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From day one, he took the time to understand our needs and preferences, guiding us through the entire process with patience and expertise. Grant was always prompt in responding to our questions and concerns, providing clear and concise information every step of the way. He made the journey of buying our first home feel smooth and transparent. What sets Grant apart is the personal touch he brings to the process. Grant genuinely cared about our satisfaction and worked diligently to find a home that felt right for us.

We bought a condo for our daughter in May 2023, in Madison, WI. We did everything remotely and it would not have been possible but for Grant.Grant knew the market well and made sure to meet our specific requirements and our daughters’ likings. He took the time to find out about these prior to the start of our search.Madison being a sellers’ market, timing was crucial, and Grant had the insight to give advice for the best competitive offer, and in a months’ time- my daughter is in a wonderful townhouse / condo. Grant has been an incredible source even after our purchase and still helps my daughter find vendors to do house related services and helped find house mates for my daughter. Not to mention Grant is witty and easy to work with.

I’m *so pleased* to have found Grant to usher me through my first home buying process and orient me to Madison. I’d never been to Madison or Wisconsin before deciding to move here and Grant was simply PHENOMENAL as a local guide and guru. He took time to honestly get to know me, learn about my history and lifestyle, and earnestly took an interest in ensuring my transition to Madison went as smoothly as possible. Not only did he get me into a house that is a great fit and which I LOVE but he also provided an excellent orientation to the city, it’s neighborhoods, and overall housing market.Through seven different offers, Grant was dogged and provided perfect-pitch advice and counsel. During our time working together Grant learned to see homes through my eyes, so much so that I trusted him when it became necessary to purchase my home site-unseen. He was detail-oriented and provided the perfect blend of pragmatic, direct input and process-oriented conversation.I feel like Grant provided an excellent crash course in local real estate and property purchasing. I couldn’t be happier with Grant’s professionalism, skill, and knowledge. He was a pleasure to work with at every step of the process and I truly felt (& continue to feel) valued—first as a customer and now as a friend.If you want an agent who truly gets to know you and values your priorities Grant is your man. Further, he’s an outstanding choice for first-time buyers, families, artists, and alternative types. He is fluent in the language of real estate and architecture. You can do no better!

Grant was a joy to work with! We found him through family and friends who had worked with him as first time homebuyers and their recommendations did not disappoint! Grant took the time to educate us, answer our questions, listen to what we needed in a home, and show us the ropes. He geeked out on architecture with us, gave us great recommendations for our lender, and got excited by the possibilities of what we could do to make a home ours. Grant has the expertise, warmth, and personality that made buying our first home way more fun than it ever felt stressful. We put in three offers with him before we were ultimately accepted on our fourth try, which in this crazy/ever-changing market felt like a complete triumph! We are so grateful to have worked with Grant who kept us in the loop regarding the market, and how to put our strongest offer forward. We were in great hands and can't wait to work with him in the future when it's time to sell our home (which won't be for quite awhile). If anyone is looking for a realtor in Madison, we can't recommend Grant enough! -Anna-Marie & Henry

Grant was awesome to work with. My family relocated from Phoenix to a small town outside of Madison. He was very knowledgeable on Madison, the areas surrounding and Wisconsin as a whole. He is super nice and kind. He made our move as effortless and comfortable as possible. He was extremely easy to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again for any of our reality needs.

As first-time buyers, we greatly appreciated that Grant went above and beyond in explaining every step of the home-buying process. He communicated with us in a thorough and timely manner; especially when it came to scheduling showings. Grant respected our concerns and never made us feel like he was pressuring us into moving forward on a property. He was also extremely helpful when it came to communicating with our lender. We highly recommend working with him!
