Ratings & Reviews

Osman-J B.

I hired Santiago solely because of his remarkable personality, but I was quickly impressed by his business acumen and negotiation skills. It wasn't long before a great deal was made (to satisfaction of all sides involved). His reassuring personality made a whole deal very smooth and easy.

I was most impressed by Santiagos integrity, honesty and openness during the process. Those are the traits that are truly defining this person.

I've recommended Santiago to everyone I know without reservation!

Santiago was our agent for a couple real estate transactions and provided great insight. His professionalism and knowledge of the market is superb.

Santiago was an All-Star Realtor in my book. Very personable and professional. Whenever I had a concern or question, he explained how the usual process goes. I was confident in his expertise and could tell he knew Chicago like the back of his hand. I have recommended Santiago to my friends and will continue to do so if I hear of anyone else that needs a trusted Realtor.

With Elizabeth and Santiago, you get an outstanding team of professionals who know the market and will represent you well as a buyer or seller. Elizabeth helped us sell our condo in the South Loop and also helped us purchase an investment property within the past year.

She pays attention to detail, does a ton of research and gets you the best deal possible. She would be the first person we would call for any future real estate transactions. Would highly recommend checking them out if you're considering buying or selling in the Chicago area

One fortunate day, we were in an Open House in Lincoln Park, there we met Santiago Valdez. Although not the home of our choice, Santiago engaged us with his professionalism, courtesy and efficiency. From there on he listened to our needs, sent us listings to help us narrow our search, met with us as we looked until we found just the right home.

We now have had the opportunity to work with both Elizabeth and Santiago and used them to sell our home.

We recently sold our multi-unit building using Santiago as our realtor. This guy is flat out amazing--within just a few days we had multiple offers over asking price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, or use him again if we were ever buying in Chicago.

We had the luck to come across Santiago about 2 years ago and when we were ready to put our condo on the market, we knew he was just the person we wanted to work with. From the get go Santiago showed us professionalism and patience, taking the time to go over all the details and questions we had as first time sellers. He was flexible to do zoom calls, home visits and phone calls as we needed and always with a big smile on his face! Not only that, we had to move out of state before even finishing the repairs and Santiago took care of receiving the contractors and different vendors we had set up. He guided us all the way, and got us several offers in 1 week. All of this during the pandemic... Given the opportunity, I would work with Santiago again and i truly recommend him! Thank you Santiago!

Got close to the asking price, 100k more than others realtors said they would have listed it.
