Susan Detering, Owner Broker

Susan Detering Real Estate Agent — Susan Detering
608-556-6333
susan@solidarityrealty.com

Like most Military brats, Susan has moved around quite a bit. That said, Madison convinced her to stay. For nearly two decades, Susan has been working in Real Estate and Small Business in Madison. She is now the owner-broker of Solidarity Realty and has managed several residential remodels, commercial build-outs, construction projects, and relocations.

Susan has a rare ability to instinctively consider the dynamics of a property: inside and outside, movement and flow, what works, what doesn’t. She applies the knowledge gleaned from her many years and diverse projects in Real Estate to help guide her clients toward the right choices to meet and exceed their goals.

Rooted in the values she grew up with — loyalty, service to others, and integrity — Susan represents her clients fiercely and ethically, advocating for their best interests at every step. At the same time, she believes the real estate community thrives when good outcomes are achieved for all, and she works with transparency, fairness, and respect to help create transactions where everyone can move forward confidently.

Calling Atwood home with her family of four… she has even recruited the grandparents to relocate to Madison! When she’s not working, you’ll likely find her in her garden, biking to meet friends, paddling on the lake, or contributing to the community through her service on the board of the Madison LakeWay.

She has a B.A. in Studio Art from Mount Holyoke College and a M.Ed. from Northern Arizona University. Her background in the Arts and Education, paired with life growing up on the family farm, means that she can not only swing a hammer, but she can craft a vision for what is possible.

Working with buyers or sellers, Susan brings her adept skill level, attention to detail, and calm nature to the transaction — always guided by integrity and the goal of helping everyone land in a better place. Give her a call for a consultation today.

Nadine Kornell Ritz

Nadine has over 6 years of experience with Solidarity Realty, helping clients navigate buying and selling – from empty lots, to multi-family investment properties. She especially enjoys working with first time home buyers, guiding them through the process with patience and care making sure they feel informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.

While she currently lives on the east side of Madison, Nadine is a born and raised small-town Wisconsinite who brings that same friendly, down-to-earth spirit to her work. She loves exploring the surrounding communities of South Central Wisconsin and takes pride in helping clients find not just a house, but the right neighborhood and lifestyle that truly feel like home.

Nadine is also an architecture student which deepens her perspective on the potential of each home, and allows her to offer clients creative insights into design, remodeling, and long-term value. Combined with her hands-on experience in rental management and remodels, she’s able to guide clients not only in finding the right home but also in envisioning what it could become.

In her free time, Nadine enjoys spending quality time with her three children. She also loves camping, biking, and playing board games, as well as dreaming up home improvement projects to start (and sometimes finish!) with her husband. Connect with Nadine today.

Jennifer Owens

Jennifer Owens brings nearly three decades of real estate experience to her work at Solidarity Realty, with a career spanning residential sales, urban real estate, multifamily properties, commercial leasing, and property management. In 2026, Jennifer joined Solidarity Realty, expanding her residential sales and commercial leasing services while continuing to lead Prime Urban Properties and manage Amoth Suites.

Jennifer began her real estate career with First Weber Group, helping buyers and sellers navigate transactions with a focus on new construction and multifamily residential projects. She later joined Dines, Incorporated, where she specialized in urban real estate and multifamily properties, combining market analysis, negotiation, marketing, and project management with a practical understanding of how properties and businesses work together. As President and Owner of Prime Urban Properties since 2022, Jennifer has continued to build a business rooted in thoughtful property management, strong relationships, and high standards of service.

Jennifer’s approach to real estate is grounded in experience, problem-solving, and a genuine commitment to her clients and community. She brings an entrepreneurial perspective to every transaction, understanding that real estate is about more than buildings—it’s about the people, businesses, and neighborhoods that make a place thrive. Joining Solidarity Realty is a natural extension of that philosophy, bringing together shared values of client advocacy, collaboration, and community-minded service.

Jack Burke

Jack brings hands-on experience leasing luxury apartments throughout Madison to his work in residential real estate. While new to residential sales, he has built a strong foundation in customer service, communication, and helping people find the right place to call home. He chose Solidarity Realty for the one-on-one guidance of its experienced team, giving his clients both a dedicated agent and the knowledge and resources of the entire brokerage. With firsthand experience in Madison’s rental market, Jack is also well positioned to help clients understand the realities and costs of renting versus owning.

A lifelong Wisconsinite, Jack grew up in Monona and has family throughout the state. His familiarity with Madison and surrounding communities gives him a personal connection to the neighborhoods that make Wisconsin home.

Jack is pursuing a degree in Business Management, further developing his knowledge of business, communication, and client relations. He brings an energetic, personable approach to real estate.

Outside of real estate, Jack enjoys traveling, attending Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers games, and spending time with family and friends. For Jack, real estate is about getting to know people, understanding what they need, and helping them feel at home in the place they choose. If you’re thinking about making a move, connect with Jack today.
