"You are who you associate with."…read more Berkshire Hathaway was the listing agent for the condo I recently purchased. My primary concern in my home search was construction/quiet. I didn't want to hear my neighbors 24/7. Keith's associate represented the property on the two occasions I toured the condo in the three-unit building. I asked if the floors were concrete and was told yes. Unfortunately, I took the agent at his word. Mistake. I also trusted my @Property agent Martin Uthe to confirm. He didn't. Mistake. The ceiling above me is wood, not concrete, and it is not in the least bit quiet. It should have been a huge flag when Keith's associate did not know the square footage of the condo; he did not know which AC unit belonged to the condo I was looking at; and he did not know how to open the first floor balcony doors. He was what most realtors are today: part-time hobbyists. I'm going to spend several thousand soundproofing the ceiling. Keith may be as good as his other reviews purport him to be, but his associate was not knowledgeable and misrepresented the property I bought.

Casie has played an integral role in both of our home buying experiences. In 2016, Casie…read moredemonstrated her mastery of the Chicagoland area by helping us find our first home. Casie patiently toured many a home with us and was able to use her experienced eye to point out items that we would've never noticed ourselves. She was absolutely fantastic at presenting us options without actively trying to influence us one way or the other when it came to homes we fell in love with. She advocated strongly for us during the purchasing process and we felt secure knowing that she really truly had our best interests at heart. We had such a positive experience that when we quickly outgrew that home in 2021, it was a no brainer to work with Casie again. She provided valuable advice on what we needed to address in order to get the best price possible on our home. Her staging knowledge was absolutely phenomenal - as someone who really has no idea how to decorate, she came in with some easy suggestions that took away the stress of making our home ready for market. She gave sound advice and guidance on the duality of having to sell a home before buying it - she didn't want us to risk the disappointment of losing a home we loved due to not being able to sell ours in time. ...and then came her biggest challenge. Casie again patiently took us all over the Northwest suburbs as we were pretty set on leaving the city. She provided unbiased advice on things to look for in each neighborhood as well as features for our new home. Once we identified our forever home, Casie really rose to the occasion and batted hard for us. She masterfully navigated negotiations and got us into our dream home. There were a few hiccups out of her control, but we knew she was doing everything she could to minimize our stress, which was more than we could ask for as we were trying to do this with two kids under 2. If you're looking for a realtor who knows literally all of the Chicagoland bubble, Casie is your girl.

Remember when Chicago Top Agent Magazine called Ream Masoud one of the top agents back in 2015 for…read moreher "honesty, integrity, and creativity"? Yeah, apparently that was a long time ago--because my recent experience makes me wonder if they should consider taking that one back. I rented a house from Ream and her company, Dream Realty Services, for two years. Everything was fine until the end, when she told me she didn't want to renew the lease. Fair enough--I appreciated the heads-up. We agreed I'd move out by June 30, 2025. She also told me a new lease would begin on July 1. We agreed on an exact day and time for the move-out inspection and key handover: Sunday, June 29, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. So what did my family and I do? We drove an hour from our new place, spent hours deep-cleaning the house in 90-degree heat--scrubbing the fridge, oven, bathroom, everything. When I messaged Ream that we were ready, she casually replied she wasn't available. "How about tomorrow?" Seriously? We held up our end of the agreement--she just... didn't show. No explanation, no solution. I waited for hours with no guidance on what to do with the keys. So I did the responsible thing: I filmed the whole place (which looked great), left the keys on the kitchen counter, locked up, and left. Later that night, Ream messaged saying she didn't have keys to get in. You'd think a landlord would, you know, have keys to her own property? I even suggested going through an open window--seriously, it was easier than this nonsense. She said she'd "check" if she had keys somewhere. Honestly, you can't make this stuff up. Fast forward ten days--yes, ten--on July 8, she messages to say the dryer isn't drying and the fridge isn't cooling. I told her both were working fine when we left (we literally used the dryer on move-out day), and as for the fridge, I'd reported issues months earlier. She sent someone who basically did nothing, so we just lived with it, knowing we were moving. Now, somehow, it's my fault that the fridge allegedly failed--after we moved out, after new tenants supposedly moved in. Am I going to be blamed for a burnt-out light bulb next month? To make things worse: today is July 29, the 30th day since I moved out, and she has still not returned my security deposit--or even provided an itemized list of deductions as required by Cook County law. That's not just shady, it's illegal. She's in clear violation of the Residential Tenant and Landlord Ordinance (RTLO). Even if you're buying--not renting--why put your money in the hands of someone who doesn't honor basic legal obligations or contracts? It's clear she plans to withhold my deposit over this made-up drama. After two full years of trouble-free tenancy, this is how it ends. I'm more than ready to take every step necessary to recover what I'm owed. "Honesty and integrity"? Not in my experience. I can't recommend Ream Masoud or Dream Realty to anyone who expects fairness, professionalism, or lawful treatment. Dream Realty? More like Nightmare Realty.

Being first time home buyers we had a lot of questions. James answered all of them in a timely manner and really made us feel like we were a priority.
