“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!”

“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.”
