“Kim is the best! She made this process so easy, answered all my questions along the way and always checking in with me.”
“Miguel was amazing 10/10 definitely recommend! He is very knowledgeable and super attentive, he really made this first time home buying process very smooth and the best of all is that he was very understanding.”
“Cinny helped us sell and buy a condo at the same time and the whole experience was so smooth. From helping us list our place, going to showings with us, and answering all our concerns, I don’t know how she did it all but she was there for us. We were able to do both the selling and buying within 3 months which still amazes me how quick and easy she made this process. She was proactive in finding places and booking showings that work around our schedule. And what I really love is how well she understood what my partner and I were looking for in a home. We ended up buying the place she had suggested for us. Originally this place was not on our radar but she highly recommended us to check it out and we’re so glad we did. We’re so happy with new home and this could not have been done without Cinny!”
“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”
“Antonio was always available for questions and always prompt in his replies. An ecellent experience.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Erick when purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and offered valuable insights into the housing market. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the process. The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless. He was always available to schedule viewings at my convenience, and when we found the right place, he worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was competitive and that all the paperwork was handled efficiently. Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”
“Marc was a crucial part of our home buying process and we are grateful we chose him. He was there every single step of the way from start to finish and went above our expections in many ways. He is great in his craft and we would use him again without a doubt.”
“Working with James was a terrific experience. He is most knowledgeable and realistic when evaluating real estate. He always kept me informed and had timely calls regarding our next decisions. I recommend him most highly.”
“Larry was more than a Real Estate Agent. He was more like a Family Friend. I am truly blessed and grateful to have worked with him. My home is everything I imagined it would be.”
“Ramon Gomez was very kind and patient. He made himself available at all times throughout the process, making communication a breeze.”
“Ralph Waller was so wonderful to deal with during our home buying process! He is very patient and his energy is very calming. He was very accessible and very timely in responding to questions and concerns. I would recommend Ralph to friends and family for sure!!!”

The Island offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with green spaces, diverse local amenities, and convenient transit access that support an active, connected lifestyle.
The Island pairs a tucked‑away, residential feel with remarkably easy access to the rest of Chicago. Tree‑lined blocks of sturdy bungalows and two‑flats foster a neighborly pace, while proximity to Roosevelt Road and I‑290 keeps everyday errands and commutes simple. The CTA Blue Line’s Cicero station places downtown within quick reach, ideal for workdays and weekend plans alike.
Nature and recreation are close by. Just to the north, Columbus Park, a celebrated Jens Jensen landscape, offers trails, a lagoon, ballfields, and year‑round programming through the Chicago Park District. The park’s historic refectory hosts community events and can be reserved for special occasions. Families also make good use of Austin Town Hall Park’s fieldhouse, arts programs, and playgrounds. For a quiet afternoon or homework help, the Chicago Public Library’s Austin Branch provides robust collections, computer access, and youth activities.
Schools and learning opportunities are plentiful. Chicago Public Schools serves the neighborhood with neighborhood and selective options citywide, and higher‑ed is close at hand at City Colleges of Chicago’s Malcolm X College, known for health sciences and adult education. Ongoing public investment along key corridors through initiatives like Invest South/West is energizing streetscapes and local businesses, adding momentum to the area’s steady renewal.
