I haven’t personally used Lincoln Madison Investments, but I work with them often in real estate transactions. Every interaction has been organized, professional, and smooth from start to finish. Their communication is clear, their process is efficient, and they consistently make each transaction easier for everyone involved.
If I ever needed assistance with my own real estate needs, they would absolutely be one of the first companies I’d turn to. Highly recommend based on my experience working with them.

Chris and Jay with Lincoln Madison Investments are top notch. I would give them more than 5 stars if it was possible. The communication was excellent and I always felt like a priority even though I know they had a lot of other things going on at the same time.

Several months ago I decided to put my property up for sale. Due to several factors, I chose to do an "As Is" sale. I had received several mailings from different companies interested in purchasing my property, for varying $ offers.
After doing my research, I chose 3 companies, one being Lincoln Madison, to look at the property. All were interested, and all agreed on the basic selling price I asked for (again based on some research on my part). As I didn't want to take much time to finalize (long story short) I chose one of the companies that had offered some additional funds at closing.
When I let Jay Woodsby know that another company had been my choice, he showed true concern that I choose well, and whished me the best. The following morning, he sent another e-mail, saying he just didn't want to let things go just yet. His revised offer was very nice!
Jay has been in contact all through the deal, as we moved out and the closing approached.
He is responsive to questions, and a joy to work with.
I highly recommend Lincoln Madison Investments, LLC

Proudly Serving Bartow, Florida
Bartow does not need to reinvent itself for every new wave of Florida growth.It has served as the permanent county seat of Polk County since the 1860s, and it wears that identity with quiet confidence.The city started as Fort Blount, a stockade built by the Readding Blount family in 1851 near the headwaters of the Peace River. After the Civil War, the county commissioners renamed it Bartow. It was incorporated as a town in 1882 and became a city in 1893. By 1895, it was the largest community in Polk County, with nearly twice the population of Lakeland. The locals gave it a nickname back then that still fits today: the City of Oaks and Azaleas.
Walk down Main Street, and you can still feel it. The Old Polk County Courthouse, built in 1908 and now home to the Polk County History Center, anchors the downtown the way only a building that has been there for over a century can. The South Bartow Residential District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1993, carries homes built as far back as 1885. Bartow High School, which traces its roots to Summerlin Institute, is often cited as the oldest high school in Polk County.
We have worked with families in College Park Estates and Laurel Meadows, with longtime residents in East Bartow whose homes tell stories that go back generations, and with homeowners in newer communities like Wind Meadows who chose Bartow for exactly what it has always offered: a real town with real roots, close enough to everything but far enough from the chaos.
Bartow is a city that has been through a lot and is still standing. So are the people who live here. We are proud to serve them.
