We worked with Greg on both our recent home purchase and condo sale in Wicker Park, and he did a phenomenal job helping us navigate both. We spoke to a few agents initially, but Greg's strategic approach stood out. He took the time to thoroughly assess our needs and concerns and tailored a plan that gave us confidence on both the buy and sell side. On the purchase, he had great instincts about the deal. He picked up on signals from the listing agent and handled it perfectly so our offer was accepted and the open house was canceled--something I would never have thought of suggesting. We trusted Greg's advice on price, and he was spot on there too. The house appraised, and we got our dream home on the picturesque block we wanted. We couldn't be happier! When it came time to sell our condo, Greg was equally thoughtful about what would actually make a difference. He helped us prioritize the right prep work, from refinishing floors to paint and smaller cosmetic changes. He also brought in staging that completely transformed how the home showed. Greg hustled to arrange everything and get it done in record time, which was important to us because we needed to sell the condo fast. In the end, his recommendations all paid off--the condo showed beautifully, and we got a fantastic offer within days. TL;DR: I would recommend Greg without hesitation, especially to someone who wants a realtor who is strategic, works incredibly hard, and is genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for his clients. read more

I had a great experience working with Greg. I was on a very tight timeline and had to sell my condo quickly due to some life changes. To make things more challenging, it was the end of the year, which is typically considered off-season. From the very beginning, Greg was incredibly knowledgeable, proactive and reassuring. He walked me through what needed to be done to prepare my condo for the market. Since I was out of state once the condo listed, Greg took care of everything, making sure the unit (and even the building's common areas) was clean and well presented. The listing generated a lot of interest and we were under contract in less than 2 weeks. He negotiated a great deal! Greg continued checking in on the Conde while we waited to close since I was still out of town. I highly recommend Greg if you're looking for someone responsive, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile. read more

If you want a real estate agent who truly cares about you and has your best interest at heart, go with Ask Nagel Realty. Greg displayed an impressive level of work ethic, professionalism and dedication to the sale of my little condo, even though he had much larger deals on his pipeline. He treats everyone big and small just the same. I was fortunate that he helped me buy my condo and years later sell it. I couldn't have been happier or more satisfied with the results. So truly I say to anyone out there looking to buy or sell, do yourself a favor and work with Ask Nagel Realty! read more

Greg is amazing! We recently closed on a property in the Irving Park neighborhood, and the process was very easy. Greg acts an advocate for you the whole way, and he will always fight on your behalf. There was an issue during the home inspection, and Greg faciliated an extremely thorough due diligence effort to make sure everything was properly addressed and resolved. His combination of technical expertise and personality is unmatched. We love our place, and we highly recommend using Greg since he will make sure you only get a place that you absolutely love. read more

Greg made our house selling easy and smooth. He has a great attention to detail and he made great recommendations to update our property.

Greg is an absolutely fantastic broker! Originally I took a gamble on him based on all the rest of the impressive reviews he has, and i have to say he went above and beyond my expectation. And it's not just him, everybody he keeps in his circle are as professional as they come. A month ago, I walked in there on a whim. today I am a landowner, Greg is one of the best real estate brokers I've had the pleasure of working with. Will definitely work with him again in the future read more

As a senior executive in Commercial Development for over 30 years overseeing multimillion-dollar developments for WE O'Neil Construction, United & Delta Airlines, and currently overseeing the capital development at LAX International Airport, I have been around many real estate brokers and professionals. Greg Nagel is far and away the best residential primary home and multi-unit investment broker I have ever encountered. He has been my guy for 5 different deals, including both residential and investment deals, with most recently the sale of a 6 flat in Bucktown in early 2022. He not only works for you when you're in the buying and selling process, but has an incredible resource of vendors and provided advice on the management of the properties we have bought. Greg is extremely technical in what he does, but also is a fierce advocate for his client's interest and truly works both "Harder & Smarter". Above all he is truthful and passionate about his work and shares all of that knowledge with his clients. His service, negotiation skills, communication, marketing and project management skills are top notch. I'd recommend Greg to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Chicago as you will not find anyone better! read more

Cannot recommend Greg enough! It is a really tight market in certain neighborhoods in Chicago and Greg was able to help me find the perfect place and was even able to negotiate 10K below the seller's asking price. This was my first time buying a home and Greg walked through all the steps in detail and made sure I understood the process every step of the way. I really appreciated Greg's honesty about the resell value of places as we were looking and his willingness/ability to act quickly as places were going under contract within 1 day on the market! I will be using Greg for any future real estate purchases in Chicago and will always recommend him to family/friends. read more

Greg exceeded my expectations for a real estate agent! As a first time home buyer the process can be overwhelming however Greg made it easy and fun. Greg thoroughly explained each step of the process, starting with the initial consultation to closing on the home. In addition to being a first time home buyer, I was also new to the Chicago area living in uptown. Greg suggested amazing neighborhoods for us to live in that we honestly had no idea existed since it was "far away". Greg has a special skill set where you feel like you are the only person he is working with. He is very responsive, professional, passionate and always looking out for your best interest. I ended up closing on a property that Greg suggested we look at in UKV. When another offer was made on this property Greg passionately fought for us to get our offer accepted and he won! I am thankful that Greg suggest we look at this property as it is now our first home. Thank you again Greg for everything! You are the best! read more

I had been renting out my condo in Ukrainian Village after relocating. After a few years of doing that, I decided it was time to sell and interviewed a few different agents. Greg was the only one that visited the property. After the visit, he was able to advise me on update/repair scenarios to maximize its' attractiveness to potential buyers. Since I live in LA, he offered to sell the condo himself vs. giving it another of his brokers. He also offered to be my eyes as I was managing things remotely. I chose Greg based on this. I felt like I'd have a partner in this vs. a transaction and again, since I was remote, I needed to have that comfort and confidence. I also liked that Greg knew Ukrainian Village extremely well. It's a unique neighborhood and my unit in a vintage building was unique as well. He could see the promise of it and knew how to position it for sale. Greg recommended things like new windows (all seals had broken) and sealing the brick at a minimum. The maximum scenario included adding a washer and dryer (inc. all the plumbing, gas and electric to do so) and painting the entire place for the best ROI. He gave me listing price scenarios based on the minimum and the maximum effort I was willing to put in. After analyzing the potential ROI, I decided to go with the max effort option including all of the updates. When we went to market, my unit was priced exactly as we had discussed. Within 1 day, I had an offer and within 3 days, I had 2 more for over ask - one of which I accepted and closed on. You might read this and think it was underpriced - not the case - we priced it as the highest 2/1 on the market with no comps. Greg was a fantastic partner and advisor throughout the entire process. When I was nervous, he was confident. When I had questions, he had answers. And as I said, he was my eyes. Brass tacks - excellent service; thorough marketing plan including private network; and strong negotiator. I really couldn't be more pleased with how we were able to work together, his expertise and the RESULTS! Highly recommend! read more

Michael Busking did an amazing job of finding a qualified tenant and in off season! Everything went smoothly. I had plenty of good information from which I could make an informed decision. Michael made sure that the lease covered all the items that I had specified. He took the hassle and worry out of the whole process. read more

My fiancé and I needed to sell my Wicker Park condo as part of a move to DC for work. We hired Greg as our broker and were extremely impressed with the results. Greg represented our interests zealously and got us a great price for our condo and a quick sale. He added value early on by quickly spotting the changes we could make to our condo to increase its value. He negotiated getting a handyman to finish them within ten days after we moved out. He shepherded the process of getting those fixes completed while we were moving across the country, and helped us line up high-quality staging and professional pictures. During the listing and offer stage, Greg pushed to get us the best possible price. Then, when I suspect many other brokers would step away, Greg stuck with us to the end, showing up for every step to make sure nothing went amiss on the way to closing. Greg is a hard charging guy. He will be intense in getting things ready and getting the deal done. He will work as hard for you as he would if he owned the place himself. If you want to sell your place quickly for the highest price it can garner, he is your guy. He will push you to make sure you don't drop the ball on what you need to do along the way. My fiancé and I felt lucky to have worked with him and I don't doubt you will feel the same way. read more

My wife and I were referred to Greg by family members that have worked with him to purchase and sell multiple properties - we were first-time home buyers. Greg takes a no-pressure approach and is a great teacher by educating his clients of the pros and cons of each decision throughout the rather chaotic home buying process. Greg offered valuable insights to help us hone in on what drives a property's value and the key items to look for when considering a purchase. Above all, Greg's mission is to make sure his clients are happy with their new home! He is responsive, always willing to go above and beyond to optimize the deal on his client's behalf, and trusted advisor to lean on for guidance when negotiations seem bleak. It was a pleasure to work with Greg! We also used his recommendations for a real estate attorney (Namit Bammi at Bammi Law Group LLC) and mortgage broker (Tom Fishwick at Cross Country Mortgage) and I was extremely impressed how well the team worked together on our behalf. read more

Working with Greg was fantastic. highly recommend him! From our first interaction, it was evident that he has deep expertise in listening to his clients' needs and transforming the usually tough experience of finding home into a great experience. Greg helped our family not only find a house, but rather, he helped us find a home. We leaned on Greg to help us find the right home, which he helped secure thanks to his fierce negotiation skills and expert knowledge in the housing market and our neighborhood. We really lucked out! Greg has a superb level of customer service; from speed, knowledge, and a transparent approach to guiding and supporting our needs and questions, delivering answers and results! Highly recommend Greg Nagel! read more

Trying to manage an apartment building from another state proved to difficult. Therefore, I decided to sell. The process, the people, the effort involved in selling a multi-unit is much different than selling a condo. That's why I decided to work with Nagel Realty. Over the course of 6 months, Greg went over and above a realtor's job description to get the deal done. He found contractors to do work. He used his landlord knowledge to help drive the sale. I don't believe I could have sold this building as quickly at the right price without Nagel Realty. read more

We just bought our dream home in the heart of charming Roscoe Village with Greg's help. From the very beginning he listened to us, cared about what we wanted and provided great knowledge. We've learned so much from him. He was always available when we needed something, and knew how to answer all of our questions. Always professional, on time and on point. He made the whole process fun and enjoyable for us and we can tell he is a very hardworking guy, focused on delivering nothing but the best for his clients. Thank you for everything, Greg! We love our new home. read more

We had a great experience working with Greg and the Ask Nagel team. We wanted someone with local neighborhood expertise, and Greg was the right fit for the job. From start to finish he was responsive, organized and thoughtful about the process. read more

Greg sold our neighbor's condo unit about a year before we were ready to sell our condo. He did such a solid job for our neighbor that when it was time for us to sell we went with Nagel Realty and I'm glad we did. We had planned to list our place in mid-July but in June, through his networking connections, Greg was able to introduce us to a potential buyer almost a month before listing. It turned out this buyer was willing to pay our asking price and take the unit as-is. As a result, we never had to list our unit or pay any staging costs. The best part? Everything went super smoothly from the moment the buyer said yes until the deal was closed (and it closed exactly on schedule). Greg was knowledgeable and handled all the details of our sale. Would highly recommend him. read more

I am a real estate investor in the Chicago area that has been buying multi-unit investment properties for the past 25 years. Greg was referred to me as a broker that not only understands the market, but really listens to his clients and works hard to get them the best deal possible. After providing Greg with my investment criteria, he located a fully rehabbed 4-flat with exceptional rents in a prime location near Wicker Park. Greg was very hands on throughout the process, taking the time to meet with the inspector and property manager and following through to make certain that all agreed repairs were addressed. Throughout the process, Greg kept me updated regarding any issues or concerns, all of which were addressed by the Seller at Greg's behest. After the close, Greg spent over 4 hours meeting with me to show me some new online tools for listing apartments, tenant screening, etc. He also shared many of his personally developed templates for streamlining the leasing process, many of which I will utilize going forward. Finally, Greg has offered to help me stage the apartment units for a professional photo shoot that will help improve the rents as units turnover in the future. Overall this has been the best experience that I have ever had with a broker, many of whom are just interested in getting the sale closed and collecting their commission. I will not hesitate to use Greg going forward and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a broker that is truly passionate about his job and has a vested interest in his clients. read more

Greg is absolutly amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable, great at communicating and outstanding at executing deals. This was the second time I have used Greg as my realtor and I could not be more pleased, he was able to sell my condo in a short amount of time at a price point I wasn't sure was attainable. Greg is a fantastic realtor and I would 1000% recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. read more

It was a pleasant surprise to meet Greg and have him as our real estate agent!!! I cannot express enough how easy and stress-free he made our house hunting process. Having only lived in Chicago for a few months, Greg was able to provide an answer to every question we had promptly and precisely as well as provide additional information about things we haven't even thought of yet. Greg's ability to negotiate and finesse his way to get us the best deal possible was a true blessing. He was extremely thorough and didn't leave a single stone unturned. ***I cannot imagine a better person to have gone through the house hunting process with.*** Five stars is an understatement!!!! Greg helped us find the perfect place to live and we couldn't be happier. We will definitely be doing more business with him in the future! read more

Tom was so easy to work with. He was diligent in all details and had a lot of wisdom on the neighborhoods we were looking in. He was cooperative, intuitive, and offered helpful opinions to protect our happiness. Highly recommend! read more

After seeing some social media posts in Chicago by Nagel Realty and first doing our research, my husband and I reached out to Greg to sell our home. From the start, he was upfront, understanding, patient, and very pleasant. He made some very keen observations about updates to the house that truly made the difference before our first showing. We listed late in the year, but that didn't stop Greg and his team from securing an offer right before the Christmas holiday that went to closing. Greg was always available to answer our questions, especially as our closing day approached. Thank you so much, Greg! We also have to commend his team at Nagel Realty, too. read more

I bought my first property with Greg and cannot imagine having worked with anybody else. Not only did he patiently guide me from selection to closing, he taught me volumes about real estate through the process. I spoke to tons of agents before choosing to work with Greg. He is beyond knowledgeable of the local market, creative in solving problems, incredibly responsive, always ready to represent my perspective throughout the process, and most important to me - always honest. I definitely recommend Greg, and it would be a no-brainer for me to work with him again. read more

We recently moved back to Chicago and found a neighborhood we loved. However we had no idea what market movement, availability, and even the particulars of judging some of the qualities of craftsmanship and desirability--both for ourselves and for future owners down the road--were like. As soon as we met with Greg, all of that changed. First and foremost we appreciated his honesty. He talks about being a client for life and sure it's marketing, but it's also marketing he gets behind. He took loads of time upfront to get to know us as a couple and to get a sense of what we were really looking for in terms of a home. At no point was there pressure on us to do anything we weren't comfortable with in terms of turnaround, making bids, finding a lender, negotiating with a lender, and more. He always struck the note of the business mixed with the personal and prepped us at each juncture of what to expect. We had been homeowners before, but not here, and there are a lot of particulars to Illinois and Chicago he made sure we understood. Not only does he always make himself available, but he follows up just to check-in during any kind of lull period and reminds you about a next step before it's about to happen. We never worried about missing a deadline with Greg as our realtor. We felt very supported (Greg drove us to all of our viewings and even printed out the listing along with a clipboard for us to take notes - that is the level of detail Greg provides as a realtor!). Deadlines, turnarounds, and negotiations, all went smoothly without anything being rushed even though we found ourselves in situations where rapid turnaround was needed. He even met us on a Sunday night to get the deal in hand with the seller. We just had our closing (to which Greg gave us a ride!) and immediately after our appointment Greg had given us a call, congratulating us once more and asking additional questions about a number of things we'd discussed throughout the home-buying process. Minutes later there was a comprehensive email in our inboxes with contact info for handymen and services that Greg trusts, including specific research he had done with renovations we had talked about. I know that when we have future questions about upkeep and being sensible homeowners we will be able to turn to Greg. Lastly, we'd be remiss if we didn't share that we could have a real laugh with Greg. That all might seem lengthy and exhaustive, but there's more we could say, which is the perfect analog to working with Greg. Greg will get you your dream home all the while making it a stress free and enjoyable experience. We feel very lucky to have found Greg! read more

We've now used Tom Tomek at Ask Nagel Realty for both buying AND selling. He truly is a "realtor for life". This latest experience was selling a Wicker Park multi-unit income property we did not live in. Not only did he have to communicate with us, but needed to keep some finicky tenants happy during showings, during a pandemic! As expected, he accomplished both with the grace and professionalism he displayed when we first *bought* another property with Tom a few years back. Best of all, we got great advice in regards to pricing and marketing and accepted an offer in about a week! Minimal fuss, minimal disruption, with maximum help and great advice. Tom is definitely our go to guy for all our real estate needs! read more

My experience working with Greg Nagel was phenomenal. I was referred to Greg through an organization that Greg had donated to in the past. From the start, Greg was extremely attentive to all of my needs. As I was very new to the whole real estate purchasing process, he took a great deal of time to listen to what I was looking for and also explain the key financial metrics that needed to be met for my investment to be profitable. He also helped me comb through the prospective properties and offered his perspective on which ones he personally would invest in if he was in my shoes (his vision for one of the properties - converting a former commercial space into a 3bed/2ba unit - ended up being pivotal in my final property selections). Once I was able to identify properties using the analysis framework that Greg provided me, Greg's industry knowledge and negotiation savvy really showed up during the offer process. Greg had a good grasp of what the final purchasing price should be, and was able to drive the seller down to that price through well timed offers and counter-offers. He also was very insightful in understanding what type of offers to make on each property (for example, he directed me to make one of the offers "as-is" so that my offer would be more attractive to the seller than the competing offers - which ended up working out very well in the end). Greg's work however did not just end when he had secured offer acceptance for me on two properties. Greg was also able to provide multiple references to me, including direct contacts from whom I was able to secure a loan, purchase insurance, and get started on renovation activities immediately after purchase. Whenever I was nervous about the work that I was undertaking, Greg was there with the knowledge that I needed to be successful. Greg provided detailed checklists of items for me to take care of at each step of the purchase process, and also took the time to walk me through a "landlord bootcamp" of what I needed to do in order to be successful after the close. On top of that, Greg was also very patient in answering the numerous questions that I had throughout the purchase and after, answering my phone calls and emails at all hours of the day. In the end, Greg helped me purchase two properties that will be valuable investments in the years to come. He also coached me from being a complete real estate novice to the point where I am a confident in handling all aspects of property ownership and being a competent landlord. I would strongly recommend anyone who is looking for an investment or personal property to choose Greg Nagel to work with. You will not find better anywhere else. read more

Greg Nagel is a complete super star when it comes to real estate! A few years ago he helped us to purchase in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. On the outing we had 20+ properties selected to view and one of them went under contract before we could see it. Instead of just leaving a dead space in our afternoon schedule, Greg quickly swapped in a property that he thought we would love (one that we had not identified in our initial search). Boy was he right! We loved it immediately. Fast forward a few years, he just finished helping us successfully sell the property for well over what other comparable units were going for! Greg helped us to time the market, stage the unit, market to the right clientele and ultimately get top dollar. If you are on the fence about choosing Greg as your realtor, just do it. His market focused advice and experience will steer you in the right direction. read more

It's my pleasure to offer my unreserved recommendation for Greg Nagel as a real estate broker here in Chicago. I say this based on our recent work together on a recent home purchase for common clients. Greg found the clients their ideal new home. They were (and are) over the moon ecstatic that he found this place. There were several unusual aspects to this transaction. The property was unique. The timeline was short. The financing was complex. He offered the clients endless guidance and support. He helped solve many of the logistical challenges we faced. Greg especially stood out with clear and timely communication. This deal would not have closed but for Greg's extraordinary efforts. I work with a great many Realtors. Greg is top of the heap. It will be my good fortune to work with Greg again on other deals. He is a great a great team-mate and in invaluable asset to any home buyer or seller. This guy knows his stuff and is a delight to work with. read more

Greg was great to work with as a first time home buyer. Walked us through the entire process, was attentive and communicative with near instant response times. Greg knows what to look for and what to look out for and was not shy to tell us, all the while listening to our wants and needs and taking weaving them into the perfect home search and buying strategy. Would highly recommend!!! read more

Tom helped us purchase an investment property in Ukrainian Village. His expertise in the process and area was top of the line. Tom worked with us every step of the way, he negotiated with potential sellers, pointed out flaws in several building we saw that could have been overlooked, and was honest about the whole process. He was not like other realtor's that hold information back just to make a sale. He informed us of several things we needed to look out for, helped us with the inspection process, and has followed up with us several times post purchase to see how we are doing. I highly recommend utilizing Tom for your home buying process ... Tom is dedicated to your best interest !! you will not regret it. read more

Greg's service is top notch. I'm selling a property with him and he has been helpful every step of the way. I feel like I've got one of the most knowledgeable and most helpful people in the business supporting my decision making every step of the way. The amount of experience in real estate he can leverage and network he has is really strong. I give him my highest recommendation. He is the best realtor I've ever worked with. read more

We had a great experience with Greg as our buying agent as first-time home buyers, and I'd recommend him without hesitation to anyone in a situation similar to ours. I was impressed by Greg's communication, willingness and desire to really understand what we wanted, and his negotiating help when it was time to make an offer. During our initial meeting with Greg, he provided us with a great overview of his experience, what to expect during the search and buying process, and we discussed what our ideal home looked like, what we knew we wanted / didn't want, and what wasn't especially important to us. Greg also talked about some specific features and things to look for/avoid in the West Town/Wicker/Bucktown area, which we really appreciated. We are pretty familiar with these neighborhoods, but his intimate knowledge of pretty much every block in this part of town and the hyper-local construction trends was incredibly helpful. Greg's overview of how the process would work was great for us as first-time buyers. In particular, he previewed a few options we could use later to strengthen our offer when that time came. This preview was really helpful for us when we needed to quickly decide on our offer structure for the home we eventually purchased. Getting to that offer and our successful purchase, I was really impressed with the approach he took to negotiations. He hounded listing agents to try to understand key items of importance to the sellers beyond simply a higher offer, and he also worked with us to understand what we were willing to do that wouldn't cost us much. Greg helped us structure a winning offer in a multi-bid sale, and I believe we won because he identified several things that were really important to the sellers and which were easy for us to accommodate. On communication, Greg was quick to respond to all of our inquiries throughout the process, including when we sent him things late at night. That made everything as easy as possible for us, and Greg was never the bottleneck for gathering information, scheduling viewings, or working through the offer and closing process. We enjoyed working with Greg, learned a lot, and we are now living in our perfect home. Not much else you could ask for there. I'd recommend him without reservation. read more

Greg was our broker to both buy and sell the same property (7 years apart). Both times he was knowledgeable, provided good honest feedback, and negotiated well on our behalf to get us great value on both sides of the deal. Greg knows the West Town market unbelievably well, and that experience was super helpful, in finding and evaluating properties. read more

Tom helped my wife and I purchase our condo in Ukrainian Village. He was very helpful in finding our eventual home and helped us through several showings before we made our decision. He informed us of several things we needed to look out for, helped us with the inspection process, and has followed up with us several times post purchase to see how we are doing. I highly recommend utilizing Tom for your home buying process ... you won't regret it. read more

Greg was our agent for the sale of our BuckTown home and we would HIGHLY recommend him. When we finally decided to sell our condo, we interviewed three brokers - two from the big firms and Greg. We have seen Ask Nagel's advertising / presence in the community the past few years. We chose Greg @ Ask Nagel Realty based on his Local Knowledge, Organization, Flair, and Attention to Detail. He was also the only broker that said he was going to personally and tirelessly work to maximize the sale of our house. This was important as the other big firm agents turn over the listing to inexperienced office support for showings and marketing. I felt they were looking for the least amount of work and for a quick flip. One intangible is access to Greg's network of contractors, mortgage professionals, attorney and inspectors. We had some repairs and got a deck stained within the week prior to listing. We also used Greg's network for the purchase of our suburban home (Greg wasn't our broker due to his specialization of Chicago 'hoods). Greg was a trusted pro bono source of knowledge in that purchase as well. It was truly a pleasure to work with Greg. Selling a home can be a tense and frustrating experience. Greg was able to manage all emotions through his honest and timely communication. Greg met all of his commitments and most importantly exceeded the goal of maximizing the sale of our home. Greg's leadership in the house prep and marketing (pics / MLS) of our home the first week to have qualified showings and a well attended open house. Ultimately, we had a multiple offer situation. Greg's ability to sell all what BuckTown offers 606, Street Fests, Restaurants, Schools, Entertainment, Transit, etc, including our property was flawless. Greg was able to leverage the deals for the best price and on our terms. Thanks Greg! read more

With a crazy market, Tom helped us find our home. He drove from the city to the suburbs to help us look at houses whenever we needed him (even for one showing). He helped get our offer accepted for under asking price! With this crazy market, this is unheard of. Tom was professional, responsive and his experience in this industry shows!! Would recommend him to anybody!!!! read more

We hired Greg to sell our condo in Lakeview. From start to finish Greg was a professional. He knew what it would take to sell and sell quickly at the best price. He was extremely easy to work with. We would definitely use him again. read more

As first time home buyers, Tom was the best realtor we could have hoped for in a process we had very little knowledge of. When starting out, we wanted to simply get a feel for what was out there in terms of the location we wanted in the price range we could afford. Tom listened to what we wanted, and gave his honest and helpful insights into each property we looked at. When finding our dream home, he helped make it a reality when it came to negotiating a fair price and made the whole experience as easy as possible. He explained things to us that we didn't understand in a friendly way, educating us to be knowledgeable homebuyers. We recommend Tom to anyone looking to buy their home. He is very invested in his clients, as evidenced by him following up with us to see how we were settling in, and even donating to One Tail At a Time for Christmas in our name since he knows how important our dog is to us. We are lucky to have had Tom help us in buying our first home. read more

Let me start by saying that Greg met with us knowing there was a 50/50 chance we were going to sell our home. My preference was to rehab our current home, and send our son to a private school in the area. Greg was patient and not pushy. He really became our biggest ally in discovering if moving was the 'right move.' He introduced us to parents at the schools we were considering, posted questions online to get us answers we needed, and followed up with us after each school tour. Ultimately, we did decide to move and would not have done it without his help. Greg gave extremely practical advice on what we needed to do to sell. We had three rounds of strategy to use, and ended up only needed one. Our home listed and went under contract within 5 days. He was an impressive negotiator. We hit the price point we needed. It was easy. Being in West Town, my husband had always agreed that if we were to ever sell, Greg is the only realtor we would ever consider. He lives there and knows the area better than anyone. He knows how to market all different price points. Being a smart and strategic buyer/seller requires expertise, and Greg definitely has it. read more
