“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!”

“Kathi was amazing! She kept us informed with every step, and answered every question we had thoroughly. She also saved our bacon a couple times when we weren't sure about something. She's very professional, kind, and attentive”

“Karyn was amazing from the first contact. She was recommended by a close family friend, so I knew that I could rely on her. But the experience was even better that anticipated. She priced the house optimally to sell. Once an offer was received, Karyn took a reasonable approach to making a counter offer. She works in the best interest of the client. Karyn is maybe too accessible; some of my calls should hae gone to voice mail instead of her answering the phone. I have recommended Karyn to friends and family, and will continue to do so.”

“Working with Cathy truly was a blessing and a prayer answered. From day one, Cathy was on top of EVERYTHING. She made the sale of our home, as well as the buying of our new home, such a wonderful experience. Even though we ran into some hiccups, which were out of our hands, Cathy handled it all for us. From her marketing, to her overall knowledge of buying and selling, Cathy was on top of everything. I'm so thankful and grateful to have had her on this journey, by our side. I know I will recommend her time and time again, to all our family and friends.”

“As mentioned in my previous post regarding the sale of my home, Gergana was my champion when helping us buy our new home. I never once felt pressured to make a sale in any way, and I did NOT feel like "just a number" to her. I felt like we were important, and our future was important - and that she was going to make whatever dreams we wanted come true. When we first walked through our new home, I was finding everything wrong but still felt like it was the one. Gergana was realistic about what things would cost to fix, the negotiations when it came time to bid, and more importantly held my hand through the whole process. We could not have done it without her - and truly she is the hardest-working realtor out there! Thank you Gergana!!”

“Given the current over-saturation of brokers and hot market climate, it's tough to find someone as committed and passionate as Cindi Maus - someone who ACTUALLY acts in their client's best interests and needs. And someone who isn't willing to settle until these needs are met. We can't say enough about how professional, accommodating, accessible and dedicated Cindi was throughout the sale of our home. For how stressful of a process this was, Cindi sure made us feel assured and at ease - from the initial sale offering to the final closing. In all honesty, Cindi's experience, attitude and commitment sets the standard. Thanks for making this experience one we'll never forget!”
