“Cinny helped us sell and buy a condo at the same time and the whole experience was so smooth. From helping us list our place, going to showings with us, and answering all our concerns, I don’t know how she did it all but she was there for us. We were able to do both the selling and buying within 3 months which still amazes me how quick and easy she made this process. She was proactive in finding places and booking showings that work around our schedule. And what I really love is how well she understood what my partner and I were looking for in a home. We ended up buying the place she had suggested for us. Originally this place was not on our radar but she highly recommended us to check it out and we’re so glad we did. We’re so happy with new home and this could not have been done without Cinny!”
“John was a great Realtor many years of experience definitely knows his market. John is definitely one of the people that will get to know his sellers his clients and every time that I had any issues John always answered within an hour sometimes within minutes the funny thing is is that one day out of the blue John contacted me Wanting to know if I wanted to sell my house and I said you know I've been thinking about it cause I had a tenant in there and I have some severe medical problems and John waited and waited and waited through all the endless phone calls and follow ups. He ended up getting my business because he was patient. He waited and it took over a year of us working together to get my house on the market and it's sold in two weeks. I cannot say enough good things about John, but I do thank him for his patience and his understanding with my personal issue and I promised if he didn't give up on me, he would get the business and he got it!”
“Brittany was the best agent anyone can ask for always very informative and guided me threw all the steps as a first time home buyer I can not say enough about how amazing/professional she was as a first time home buyer i would recommend her to anyone who really wants someone to be in your corner on getting the perfect house that best suits your interest i found a home perfect for my family and it was all thanks to Brittany absolutely amazing 10/10”
“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!”
“Working with Tracy Anderson gave us a leg up. She is very knowledgeable of the market. She was very patient with my father. She staged the Home well using his furniture which made it look great.

“Antonio was always available for questions and always prompt in his replies. An ecellent experience.”
“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.”

He is knowledgeable about the areas in Chicago as well as different types of property. In addtion, he will make sure that you are comfortable with the whole process from start to end.

“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!”
