John was a great Realtor many years of experience definitely knows his market. John is definitely one of the people that will get to know his sellers his clients and every time that I had any issues John always answered within an hour sometimes within minutes the funny thing is is that one day out of the blue John contacted me Wanting to know if I wanted to sell my house and I said you know I've been thinking about it cause I had a tenant in there and I have some severe medical problems and John waited and waited and waited through all the endless phone calls and follow ups. He ended up getting my business because he was patient. He waited and it took over a year of us working together to get my house on the market and it's sold in two weeks. I cannot say enough good things about John, but I do thank him for his patience and his understanding with my personal issue and I promised if he didn't give up on me, he would get the business and he got it!

John represented us as a sellers agent and did a fantastic job. It wasn't an easy deal due to the incoming buyers. He stood tall and strong and always was in our corner. He knows his business and works very hard supporting his clients. His honesty and integrity were always displayed throughout the process. Would not hesitate to use him again on either side of the deal. Very satisfied.

I have worked with John previously on few other projects. Very knowledgeable, whatever he says, it actually happens. Short, to the point, done!
That's what I like about John, always on top of your deal.

The request was responded to by three different potential agents and I was able to finalize my selection the same day. John Campobasso worked out great. This was a very difficult and complicated sale, and he was great navigating the multiple parties involved to get this to a completed transaction.

Working with John Campobasso to find a Condo in the NW Suburbs was a great experience. He forwarded many properties to view on web before choosing what to see in person. Extreme knowledgeable of the Area and clued me into areas that I really did not consider before my search. John was easy to deal with and answered any questions that I would have have. If looking for a home in the Northwest Suburbs, I would highly recommended John.

From our point of view this was a very long search - John was always the advocate to our cause and each property that did not meet our expectations, John road with it and said there are more properties to look at. Nothing seemed to faze him, he was always there and ready to meet our needs. One great Agent we would use again

My property had many strengths but also had some challenges. John knew how to play to the strengths and work with the challenges. He had a catalog of people that he referred to me when I needed someone throughout the sales cycle. He assessed things properly as we worked through the sales process and kept me apprised the buyers progress on their side.

John was excellent. He worked on our behalf to get the best deal possible for us, all while facilitating the process, providing us with local requirements, and working with the selling agent/lawyer. John was always available by telephone and was very helpful with any questions we had. He was also very available for showings, even on short notice. In all, I would highly recommend John Campobasso to anybody looking to buy a home.

John was amazing and walked us through everything. He went above and beyond helping us get our water main turned on after the selling bank failed to have it done. He made the entire experience simple to understand.

John was the listing agent on the property we purchased and we were new to Illinois from California. We needed someone extremely knowledgeable and he knew the area, was able to make good recommendations knew the real-estate laws etc. so we decided to deal with John directly. We made the right choice!

He was always available to answer our questions and get us feedback / updates during the entire process.

If it wasn't for John we would not have been able to purchase the property. He negotiated the price to fit our budget and got us in touch with the right broker for the financing. We are very pleased with the results and are very happy in our new home.

John was extremely helpful with negotiations on both sides as I used John for my purchase and my sale.

John was the BEST I was extremely happy with my overall experience with John. I always knew I can reach him immediately and that he would help if I had questions or needed his advice or suggestions on anything. This is the type of person that you really need when you are unfamiliar with the real estate processes. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process. I will recommend John to all my friends and family.

Thank you so much John for everything you’ve done to help me throughout this entire process. I could not have done it without you!

I REAL DID NOT KNOW MR. CAMPOBASSO, BUT DO NOW AND IF I HAD 100 HOMES TO SELL I WOULD WANT JOHN TO HAVE THEM ALL AND RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE ELSE USE HIM

Susie Lee Jobe
Schaumburg, IL - Oct 25, 2018

John Compobasso is very knowledgeable. He has all his t's crossed and i's dotted. Punctual, good at getting back to you, is either on the same page or two steps ahead and gets the job done. He is seasoned in his field and keeps updated as times change and is quite the character. He would take the shirt off his back for you if he can. Very satisfied with outcome of the sale of our townhome, and buying a single family house an hour away on a contingency basis. Highly recommend.
