Meet the Team:

Jesse Pycha-Holst has been selling real estate for 9 years in Madison and southern Wisconsin. A Wisconsin native, he earned a degree in genetics from UW-Madison and has been here since. He has been working in historic restoration and renovation since 2005 when he worked on the restoration of the historic Orpheum Theatre after a fire.

For the past 20 years, he has lived in the Third Lake Ridge Historic District. During his time in professional renovation, he has ripped houses down to the studs and put them back together again. He has a pretty good idea what may be going on inside the walls of a home and takes pleasure in educating his clients during showings.

Jesse has also spent most of his years in Madison doing social advocacy, voter registration efforts, and campaign management. He knows the Madison metro area inside and out. If there is a neighborhood he hasn’t knocked doors in, he likely trained people to canvass those neighborhoods.

Jesse currently lives with his wife and son on the Isthmus. He has a deep knowledge of the community, zoning and development issues, the restaurant industry, local attractions, and the pulse of Madison.

Ech Vedder is more than just a real estate agent—he’s a dedicated advocate for his clients and community. A lifelong Madisonian, he’s spent years serving the city in various roles, from teaching in local schools to driving buses and cabs, to serving on the Dane County Board. His deep knowledge of the city’s neighborhoods, schools, and cultural events makes him a valuable resource for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Madison.

Ech’s personal experience as a homeowner and remodeler gives him a unique ability to guide clients through the decision-making process. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or someone looking to invest in a fixer-upper, he can help you navigate your options with confidence and clarity.

Passionate, knowledgeable, and deeply rooted in the Madison community, Ech is ready to help you find not just a house, but a place to truly call home. Reach out today and take the first step toward your next chapter!
