I don't recommend- I've had nothing but NUMEROUS issues with my house after moving in. My windows…read morecurrently leak and pour water every time it rains (had to literally run around during tornado warnings with towels to try to secure the windows) and just got a message today from the company saying this was a problem from before they took over and they closed the work order. In my window sills there is literal growing mold because of the water that comes in, yet they're not interested in fixing it. Now I'll be contacting the code department to serve that the windows are not up to code and demand they get replaced. & did I mention they know I'm 3 days out from giving birth.. and the first time I contacted them about the windows was June 24, it's now Sept 11th- what a head ache. I believe they stage houses to look nice before you rent, then you move in and realize all of the problems you're about to endure. Also here is texts from there maintenance guys that even agreed the windows need replaced and are irreparable.

Adam was a fantastic agent, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or…read moresell their home. I was worried as we began our search that we would have an agent that would pressure us into a quick sale, but that is not the way Adam does business. He was incredibly responsive, working quickly to set up showings at times that fit our schedule. On site, he was honest about the pros and cons of each property, and was understanding when we had additional questions or wanted to extend our search. In particular, his knowledge of the city and background as a contractor helped us to get a full picture of each property that we visited. It was very comforting to know that he put our interests first. On our condo sale, Adam helped us put our best foot forward and was able to sell at listing price within one week. He provided valuable feedback on the staging and negotiating process. Additionally, throughout the purchase and sale, he always had great recommendations for a photographer, inspector, attorney and mortgage broker for us. I strongly recommend that you contact Adam with all your real estate needs.

They make simple things difficult, communication is almost nonexistent, and you have to constantly double-check everything because they add charges quickly but "forget" to remove them. There is no accountability, no urgency, and no professionalism. If I had known my community would switch to Paragon, I would have reconsidered buying here. Save yourself the stress -- avoid this company

Not a lot of business reach out to it's patrons that express a concern, especially during a nation wide pandemic and I greatly appreciate the kind gesture.

She's professional, gives great advice/suggestions, and is always in contact with you. Most recently I worked with Anthony and my experience was just as great. Anthony is communicative and responsive- all things that you want when you are looking to rent your apartment out! He was always there to answer questions via email and phone and gave great input/advice/suggestions when asked. Renting units can be a hassle at times, but working with Anthony and Streeterville Realty makes it as painless as possible. I can't see anyone looking to a different group to help with their real estate needs.

From the first outreach to tour our first condo, I was immediately impressed by the timeliness of the response from Sam Shaffer at Chicago Properties Firm. He immedtiately connected us with Artette and I feel so lucky to be able to work so closely with her thse past few months. I can't speak highly enough of her and the team at Chi Properties. Her professionalism, honesty, integrity and hard work were very much appreciated and respected. She is very detailed, honest, and just so great to work with. From the first home she viewed with us, to the last, she remember every single detail of things we liked & disliked and as I sent her listing after listing until we found the one, she advised on before even going to the listing if we would like it or not. 10/10 experience with her and the team! When we decide to buy our next home, I will absolutely be using her and the team again as they made this process as seamless as possible.

(We worked with David DuFault - please note I posted this review on his individual Yelp page, but…read morewanted to make sure he got credit on the Chicago Properties site too.) I cannot rate David highly enough. He was our real estate agent last year as first-time home buyers also expecting our first baby. David was careful to explain every step of the process, and balanced perfectly the delicate line between supporting our decisions and preferences while giving us honest feedback about certain properties. He was incredibly responsive, always in-contact, and always found an answer for us when we reached out with questions. We never felt pressured to make a decision. Even when, earlier this year, we had an issue with our new Jefferson Park condo and needed consulting on our contract, he responded right away and went above and beyond to help us resolve it. David is also just a great, sweet guy. :) We are so incredibly happy with our first home, and we will definitely be contacting David when it comes time for us to make our next move!!

We had another flawless experience with Jim Flanders, this time while selling the same home he…read morehelped us buy 6 years ago. We have kept a great relationship with Jim through the years, and my husband has worked with him on buying and selling some of our investment property. So when it came time to sell our city home in Logan Square as we made the move to the suburbs, we knew Jim Flanders was the one to help us do this. We were building a new construction home in the burbs, so we had a lot of lead time in knowing that we needed to list the property. This was a tricky balance since we didn't want to list the home too quickly (and risk selling it and being homeless for many months until our new house was ready), but we didn't want to miss the peak market season during the summer months and wait until the fall or winter to list it. We also have 2 toddlers at home, so the idea of having to keep the house "showing ready" for an extended period of time was daunting. In a perfect world, we would be able to get under contract quickly with a buyer, but negotiate a later close date and get the best of both worlds. Jim helped us do a walkthrough of the house and pointed out the things he recommended we do to get the house in showing form (painting the walls, caulking some areas, clearing out toy congested areas) but only focused on what he felt would actually make a difference rather than asking us to invest a bunch of money in things that ultimately do not help sell quicker or at a higher price. Jim helped guide us in our timing, thanks to his knowledge and understanding of the market. We listed on a Wednesday in July, and decided to have an open house that very weekend. Jim came and managed the open house for us and the first couple to see the home made an offer that same day. They did not have a real estate agent, and Jim led all the conversations directly with the buyer and negotiated the terms and conditions for the contract. He was able to negotiate a 90 day closing, which gave us plenty of time to stay in our home and enjoy it before needing to vacate. The best quality about Jim Flanders is his easy going personality and honest approach. He always has your back and wants the best for you. But he is not pushy. He will not talk you into doing yourself a disservice just to get a quicker commission. He truly wants to advise you and guide you to get the best results possible and his patience is incredible. He will be there as many times as you need him for as long as you need him, to make sure everything goes smoothly. It was one thing for us to have the utmost trust in Jim, but the most impressive thing was how much the buyers also trusted Jim. They opted not to get their own real estate agent and were fine working directly through Jim (even though he was representing us, the sellers) because they also could feel that Jim had everybody's best interests at heart. This is where Jim Flanders really sets himself apart from other realtors I've worked with. He forms relationships, not just with his clients, but with the opposite clients as well. He took time to have many phone conversations with the buyers to put them at ease, talk through the inspection findings, and negotiate our terms. They trusted him so much that when it came time to close, they didn't even ask for a final walk through of the house before closing. We couldn't have asked for a smoother and less stressful process of selling our home. We got the price we wanted, the closing date we wanted, and all the negotiations and conversations were easy and friendly.

We cannot recommend Jim more highly. He is a consummate professional, honest, thoughtful and…read moreoutrageously knowledgeable about the Chicago property market. We took the plunge this year and started the search for our first home. Jim was incredibly generous with his time working with us, and helped us figure out what we actually wanted and where we would be happy. In May, Jim showed us a home we fell in love with and he guided us through every step of the process, from winning the bid, inspections, closing and held our hands every step of the way. Knowledge and professionalism aside, Jim is just a legend and we just enjoyed hanging out with him and having the chats at showings. The second we get a sniff that any of our friends or people we meet are looking to buy, we instantly stop the conversation to tell them 'YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH JIM FLANDERS'. Thank you Jim.
