Verette Construction was started in 1969 by founder Cliff Verette. Over a decade ago, Allen Verette, David Lublin and Rob Redding took over the business, continuing the company’s tradition of providing extraordinary customer service and craftsmanship. Today, the company brings over 150 years of combined experience to repairing foundations on residential and commercial properties across Southeastern Wisconsin. Verette also provides basement excavation services, including increasing the height and square
footage of a basement and supporting additions to a property. Diagnosing and fixing water and moisture problems is this team’s specialty. In addition, Verette installs egress windows, allowing light to flow into a renovated basement or any other space in your home. The company also provides masonry repair. Verette strives to make your home a safe place for you and your family, while also maximizing your enjoyment of the space – and when the time comes to sell, the work that Verette has done will likely increase your home’s value.

JEFF RATHSACK Senior Project Manager
Angelique Cruz, EXP Realty Over one week, Angelique Cruz could be closing on a West Allis house for a 23-year-old, first-time buyer, finding a young family a dream home they didn’t think they could afford in Wauwatosa, or helping a 65-year-old woman downsize to a Port Washington condo. “I’ve worked with people from all different cultural backgrounds, walks of life and age groups,” says Cruz, a real estate agent with EXP Realty. “I’m able to listen to their needs and use that information to help them find the home that best suits them.”
JIM RATKOWSKI Custom Area Rug Fabricator
With Milwaukee real estate at record low inventory levels, Cruz says sellers are in a great position. And when buying a new home, she stresses the importance of industry connections and experience to find good deals in hot markets. “The most rewarding part of my job is getting my clients to the closing table.” Cruz starts by consulting with her client, understanding exactly what their needs are and seeing how she can make that happen. From there, she maintains continuity of service, walking her clients through the many steps that go into selling and buying a home, while also working to edge out the competition when it comes time to make an offer. “Everyone deserves to live the best life possible, and if I can help you achieve that by purchasing a home, I want to do that.” EXP Realty 342 N.
