“Kim Wirtz provided outstanding service! She is helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. She responded promptly to our calls and texts, which made a significant difference. During the hectic process of buying and selling a house, she helped us feel calm and reassured.”
“Vicky was great to work with. She was easily accessible, knowledgeable and smart. She priced the house correctly and got us a full price offer twice. I would strongly recommend Vicky for you future realtor needs.”
“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!”
“Exceptional professional and person. Meldina was so kind and supportive through the entire process of buying my first commercial purchase.”
“Paula helped us every step of the way when we purchased our first home. I would recommend her to everyone. She always made time to answer our questions and explain the process. She's simply the best!”
“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.”
“Cinny is an exceptional real estate agent! She helped us sell our home in just one week — and at full asking price. On top of that, she guided us through finding the home of our dreams. Cinny was always quick to respond, offered expert recommendations, and filled in every gap to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. I never had to wait on her (which I can’t say about many, many other realtors). She was nimble, proactive, and communicated clearly whether it was via text, phone, or Zoom. If you're buying or selling in the Chicago area, I would not hesitate to recommend Cinny. She’s a true professional and a joy to work with!”
“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.”
“Antonio was always available for questions and always prompt in his replies. An ecellent experience.”
“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!”
“Hi John, I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all your help in finalizing the deal. Your professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate your prompt responses, guidance, and the effort you put in to ensure everything went seamlessly. It was a pleasure working with you, and I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a great real estate agent. Thanks again for all your hard work! Best, Raji”
“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.”

“Rose was great! She patiently took the time to show me multiple properties. When we found the right one she was very helpful. I would most definitely recommend Rose to my friends and family.”
