“Working with Victoria Holmes was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. She made the whole process feel effortless, and her supporting staff was just as incredible—so kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping us. We keep pinching ourselves because this home is absolute perfection for our family. We’re beyond grateful to Victoria and her team for making this dream a reality.”
“Kim is the best. I shared with her that I had to sell my family members home and that I had 0 experience with realty or selling a home. She made everything so easy. The sale happened within days and I had no issues. She was there to help in a stressful time for me. I highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Exceptional professional and person. Meldina was so kind and supportive through the entire process of buying my first commercial purchase.”
“Laura Topp was recommended by a trusted friend, a friend whom I will trust even more after this experience. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very well connected in the real estate market. Laura and her team (including Becki, also very involved in my sale and purchase) went over and above to insure my then-current home was sold in a timely manner (it was a matter of days, in fact) and for the best possible price! As for my purchase, Laura connected me with not only public but also private listings, and I also found/ contracted for my new dream home within days. In addition to her knowledge, expertise and connections, Laura is also one of the kindest people have ever met; she made me feel valued and supported throughout this entire process. I would recommend Laura and her team in a heartbeat (I already have) and although I was not previously aware of BHHS, this company also has high ratings in my book because of Laura and Becki.”
“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.”
“My Wife and I were first time homebuyers in a very difficult market. Renee guided us through the process and answered any and all questions we had. We're extremely pleased with the end result and would happily work with her again in the future.”
“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!”
“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”
“The referral of Mike Frank was the best decision we made! Mike Frank is detailed, thorough, responsive and a joy to work with. He went above and beyond to deliver us the kind of customer service we could only have hoped and imagined. Results and not excuses! Thank you for this referral!”
“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.”
“very professionel very nice helpfull available juste perfect”
“We had to sell a relative's house after her death and we live over an hour away from the property. We used Agent Pronto to interview three different agents because we were unfamiliar with the area. We settled on Scott Paul. He is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. (We have worked with six other realtors over the years.). He is professional, conscientious, thorough, and hard-working. We highly recommend him.”
“I highly recommend William for Buying or Selling a home. He has helped many members of our family and is trusted like a friend.”
“Agent Pronto helped up find a good agent in Larry. He was a pleasure to work with and helped us through a challenging sale.”
“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.”
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Harvard real estate market, updated for September 2025. *
The typical home value in Harvard is projected to be $232,780 for the month of August. July’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $238,000—up 22.68% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $350,000 in McHenry County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $345,000 in August.
Harvard had 10 new listings and 11 listings that went under contract in July, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 19—down 5.0% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in August.
Of those 19 active listings, 21.05% reduced their price in the month of July. The median listing price for homes in Harvard grew 13.85% from June to July, bringing the current median listing price to $284,500. Based on projected data for August, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In July 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 60 days, compared to 74 days in July 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this August.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
