“Katherine Rubis was outstanding in dealing with my needs. I was in Japan and did the entire process remotely. This was my first home purchase and she was very knowledgeable and made it very easy. She had all the support professionals (lawyers, insurance, and banking contacts) to make the entire process smooth and seamless. I would definately use her again and recommend her to anyone, especially if you are a first time homebuyer.”
“Kim Wirtz was great from the start. Her guidance, follow-up and consistent attention to the details helped to get the outcome we desired. Even when challenges came up, Kim got the deal across the finish line. I would highly recommend Kim and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“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!”
“I can’t recommend Emir highly enough! From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He truly had my best interests at heart and made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. His attention to detail and dedication went above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who knows the market and actually cares about their clients, Emir is the one!”

“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.”
“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.”

“Steve is amazing! This sale was not easy, the contracted buyers were difficult but Steve negotiated for us, put us first, advocated for us, and he always presented all information. He is an agent who cares deeply about his clients and he is always working for the client not his wallet. I would refer and recommend Steve to anyone! He's absolutely amazing!”
“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.”
“Very hard worker and knowledgeable in realestate”
“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.”
