“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!”
“Exceptional professional and person. Meldina was so kind and supportive through the entire process of buying my first commercial purchase.”
“Jeff held the fort down while I was away for 3 weeks, during which time we had repairs done and had the house professionally cleaned. He was totally trustworthy. I cannot think of a better real estate agent.”
“Kim was extremely professional with not only her market knowledge, but also with making sure the deal went through without a hitch. I have already sung her praises to my friends and will continue to do so. She's the real deal.”
“Heather was a dream to work with in our home buying journey. She was very responsive, patient, and understanding of all of our needs when it came to what we wanted in a home. Her great personality and good sense of humor made her a pleasure to be around. Her knowledge and recommendations made our process smooth and painless. My wife and I highly recommend considering Heather all of your real estate needs.”
“We live in Florida and were wanting a second home in the Plainfield, Illinois area. We were not seeing too many places that were available. She showed us a few places in January online but they didn't work out for us. Since she knew what we were looking for, a condo went on the market that she thought we would be interested in. We happened to be in the Chicago area in March so we investigated the condo and sure enough we liked it and made an offer, and subsequently purchased. We were lucky that she remembered what we were looking for, and are so grateful to her for that, We also appreciated that she was not high pressure and that would have been an immediate turnoff for us. She was very helpful throughout the whole process and we would recommend her highly. Thanks again Kathy!”
“From the first moment we met Kathryn we loved her! She pays attention to his clients' needs or concerns and has a charming personality! Thanks to Kathryn we found the ideal home for us in a nice and pretty location. We are very pleased to have met her!”
“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.”
“I have worked with Kim for over 14 years. Kim helped me find my first rental property when I first moved to Illinois and when it was time to find something else, she helped me find the next one. when I decided it was time to buy she helped me find the perfect place. She has always been extremely helpful and has gone above and beyond. She was always available for my texts or my calls. Kim explained so many of the details of the entire process for me with all the new rules and regulations that have occurred overtime. She helped me to get the very best offer on my home. In fact, I had multiple offers of which to choose from. Kim was very helpful and I wish that she could help me in the state that I moved to, to help me find a new home. I'm sad to leave her behind in Illinois. I highly recommend Kim Thurm to anyone looking for a real estate broker. Kim is an excellent realtor and great to work with.”
“Tina Grzeca did a phenomenal job helping us remotely house hunt. She organized both virtual showings and quickly got physical showings scheduled when we were able to be in town. She was also exceptionally detail oriented, pointing out important considerations in the houses we toured and making sure they would meet our needs. We would highly recommend Tina Grzeca for both local and remote people looking for their next housing journey.”
“Rose was great! She patiently took the time to show me multiple properties. When we found the right one she was very helpful. I would most definitely recommend Rose to my friends and family.”
“Very friendly and approachable person. Very easy to work with. Was really invested in the process and treated us with respect. I don't feel like just another client when working with her.”
