“It's been great working with Bobbi - she is very responsive (never once missed a phone call or text), always on point but never pushy, be it her advice on pricing changes or negotiating an offer or following up on repairs. She arranged multiple open houses, brought in a steady stream of potential buyers, helped us a lot thru the whole process, made it easy for us even after we moved out of state and got our home sold just before the winter hit. Loved working with her and would definitely recommend her.”

“Mike was by far the best agent I have ever worked with and I'm 73 and done this many times. Mike was very knowledgeable but never pushy. He is very gracious, well-organized, and was always punctual. He also was excellent after the sale and all his recommendations ended well. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone.”

“We had to sell a relative's house after her death and we live over an hour away from the property. We used Agent Pronto to interview three different agents because we were unfamiliar with the area. We settled on Scott Paul. He is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. (We have worked with six other realtors over the years.). He is professional, conscientious, thorough, and hard-working. We highly recommend him.”

“Barb was such a pleasure to work with. She understood what I was looking for and was available to show me properties and answer questions every step of the way. I was living in Georgia and relocating to the Chicago area so I had to fly into the are to see properties. I would recommend Barb to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”
