“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.”

“Anthony understood us, our personalities and interests. We were able to relate to him in a number of ways and that made us comfortable working with him. He was a compassionate person, and it meant a lot to him to find places that served us, which also meant a lot to us. We gave him some of our requirements for a home, and he would continue to refine his search accordingly. He did not discriminate homes based on their pricing. When we wanted to check out a much more inexpensive house, he worked hard to get us a showing. It seemed like he cared more about finding us a place we would be happy than the amount of his commission. He was willing to do a lot of traveling, and even worked late hours for us. I would never ask someone to work late or early, but he took it upon himself to do so several times, which we highly appreciate. Anthony found us a great inspector, and did a lot of mediation for us that we so desperately needed. He was honest when he wasn't able to help with certain things that were outside of his job description, like advising us financially. However he was able to find an attorney and a lender that we ended up really liking, who also cared about us and were available any time we needed them. Anthony feels like a friend, and we will be sure to hire him if and when we move again.”

“Pat Smarto did every aspect of the sale of my property in an outstanding way that left me assured that I chose the right agent over others I had considered. Pat is a role model to all real estate agents. Through my observation and research I found that Pat is greatly involved in her community which also contributes to her standing in it and her profession. All of these attributes gave me a feeling of trust in Pat that you will realize also. My recommendation of Pat Smarto is without reservation!”

“Jo Ceglarek was recommended to us by a friend who lives in Jefferson Park. Our hope was to stay in the area but select a real estate agent with extensive knowledge of the area and public schools as we have a 2.5 year old. Her guidance and expertise were invaluable and made the process so smooth. Jo was quick and responsive to our needs and worked around our crazy work schedules. She made this whole process much more enjoyable. Thank you! Jo was wonderful to work with and patient when we had to bring our little one to a couple showings!”

“I've been very lucky to have Robert as an agent. As a single woman purchasing a home, I didn't realize how stressed I'd feel. I don't know if anyone else has felt the same. What I found with Robert is consistent professionalism, support and expert insight that made the whole process relatively easy! Robert connected me with a lender and an attorney. Both of these team members broke speed records and went way out of their way to help me. I really appreciate that he is always available by text or phone. When I sent a question I got an immediate answer and he sent updates in real time. I received intelligent, personalized service throughout. I'm certain that he'll do the same for you. I teased him about the fact that his auto license plate says Top Agent but quickly found the title is 100% legit. Robert stands out in excellence in a sea of competitors. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Robert Sidlauskas.”
