We recently sold our house with the help of John and had a positive experience. John was able to…read moreget us a record sale in our Edgewater/Andersonville neighborhood which became the market comparison for other homes listed after ours. John is relationship-driven. He listened to our needs but was not afraid to have difficult conversations to produce results with our sale. I recommend John Klick to others looking to sell their property. Thanks again John!

John Klick is an excellent realtor! He took the time to get to know us and learned what our…read morepriorities are in a home. He recommended properties that we would never find on our own and that is how we found our dream home. He created a spreadsheet with links to videos of all the properties we've looked at, which made it easier for us to compare and decide. The videos helped us to recall what we liked about the top properties in our list as oftentimes you get overwhelmed when you're out looking. John negotiated well on our behalf to get the purchase price within our budget. He coordinated with our lawyers, lender and the other agent. He went the extra mile in reaching out to our lender's Regional VP to make sure we meet our closing deadline. Working with John, you can tell that he enjoys his job and that he is determined to help you find your perfect home. If you want someone who is very present and hands on throughout the whole process, up until you move in, then John Klick is the realtor to call. My husband and I appreciate all he has done for us and give him 10 stars instead of 5. We are very fortunate that he was assigned to be our realtor.

We worked with Tim back in 2021 when we were first-time homebuyers, and he made the entire…read moreexperience such a positive and memorable one! From the very beginning, Tim was patient, knowledgeable about the South Loop, incredibly responsive, and always had our best interests in mind. He made what could have been an overwhelming process feel comfortable and manageable. Even years later, Tim still checks in to see how we're doing, which truly means the world to us. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his clients long after the closing. When we're ready to buy again, there's no question that Tim will be the first person we call. We couldn't recommend him more!

Tim and team is what you get when you combine expertise with genuine care and attention to detail!…read more You have a lot of choices these days in real estate. Anything from inexperienced solo realtors to large firms where you never really work with the actual namesake. Tim provides the right balance of service and scale. We found him through a friend and it couldn't have been a better decision. As first time home buyers we were apprehensive and did not have much experience. From the initial consultation to the close, Tim answered all our questions and looked out for all the important things. He wasn't pushy and he wasn't absent...just what we needed. From initial contract to close, it was barely a month. First, helping us negotiate very effectively then Tim had great contacts for attorney and inspection services. Overall we purchased our first home. We have been there for more than a year and couldn't be happier!

When we started the process of moving to Wilmette from the east coast (with school-age children)…read morewithout prior knowledge of the area, we knew we would need a real estate agent that 1) was well-informed locally, 2) would get to know us to help guide us, and 3) was communicative and quick to respond. We had already introduced ourselves to a few realtors who were clearly not all three when we fortunately found Tim and instantly knew he was the guy for us. With extensive history in the North Shore, a friendly demeanor, and a work ethic that responded immediately to texts, emails, or calls, we credit Tim with our successful move to the area. By the time we made our single house hunting visit, he was able to steer us straight to the few places we would seriously consider, and concisely told us which of the rest of the MLS search results to ignore due to price/location/condition issues. Then we made an offer with his guidance and used every inspector/attorney/etc he recommended without a hitch. An absolutely amazing experience!

Tim did an outstanding job helping me purchase my new home. As a first time homebuyer, I was…read morenervous and excited. Tim took away my nervousness and helped me step-by-step throughout the process. He answered all my questions including ones I had not thought of. From getting my pre-approval for a mortgage, home inspection, and leading up to the closing. I could not have asked for more. Tim made this home purchase very good for me. I will definitely recommend Tim to all my friends and family that are looking to purchase or sell real estate. If you want someone you can trust, Tim Shaker is your guy!

David was hands down the best real estate decision we made!!…read more My husband and I absolutely loved our 1st home and had an extremely hard time deciding whether to move or expand through a renovation. All we knew was that our growing little family needed more square footage. We were blown away from the initial consultation with David! There was no judgement from him, no pressure from him and no hassle from him. His communication is open and honest and his insight and advice was always on point. He really listens to you and really cares. He helped us sell our home AND purchase our new home all at the same time. His experience gave him first rate knowledge about the market; making his negotiating skills top notch! His responsiveness gave us the communication we needed to never feel like we were "in the dark" with selling or buying. His professionalism and transparency truly made us feel at ease during the whole process. His humor was much needed during such a high stressful period! What could have been a stressful process (a quick month turnaround of selling & buying) was actually a smooth transition with David championing us throughout the entire journey. He is a rare commodity in this crazy industry!! Highly Recommend working with David on your next purchase or sell!

In 2019 Steve sold me a condo. I was out of state. I had not seen the condo. Steve submitted the…read morewrong inspection report to me and to the attorney. In addition, the attorney Steve recommended, unilaterally, without calling me signed closing documents that had an addendum attached disclosing water leaking. I had no knowledge of what damage was present in the unit or the severity of the damages by viewing the report because the pictures in the report were not that of my unit. I filed a Division of Real Estate Complaint against Steve and the inspector. Not only that, but I had to hire lawyers.... Steve will be communicative. He is friendly, and really enjoys the real estate process. He knows the personalities of buildings well, but at the time I worked with him, he was much more suited to be a rental or seller's agent than a buyer's agent. There are tons of realtors out there. Pick one who is much more detail oriented if you are buying site unseen. If you are purchasing something you will visit, stand over Steve and double check him.

I was referred to Steve by my sister who used him for her condo sale in Wicker Park. He sold her…read moreplace in a weekend and I wasn't expecting the same kind of results but he sold my place even faster! Steve went above and beyond my expectations of what a real estate agent can or are willing to do for their clients and I can't say nice enough things about him. He was very clear on what needed to be fixed and was able to find awesome/wallet-friendly contractors to get the job done quickly and properly. He didn't push for fixes unless it was necessary (no need to spend money if you don't need to). He did a lot of extra work with the @properties network and was able to get everything moving even before the condo went "officially" on the market. Steve was super responsive whenever I contacted him and never tried to sway my decision making one way or another. I thought going out of the country for half of the selling process was going to be a problem but Steve took care of everything. He made the whole thing stress free because I knew he had my best interest in mind and worked really hard not inconvenience me with the 14 hour time difference. Steve is seriously a rockstar and I can't thank him enough for everything he did. So if you're in the market to buy or sell, I can't recommend Steve Davis and the Philip Schwartz @properties team enough. Seriously, he's the best.

I initially contacted Jim to educate me on the buying process for my first home, unaware if this…read morewas even in my realm of possibilities. Jim took the time to meet, learn about me and my situation, my wants and needs and was extremely thorough in educating me on the process. I was under the impression I would be overwhelmed and intimidated with the process; however, Jim was the perfect expert to have on my team. He was always prompt responding to my many questions, which were occasionally at all hours. Jim's abilities never ceased to impress- from his construction background insight on how to maximize space in a stylish manner, insights as to which features I should invest in, to his relentless negotiation skills. Honest, intelligent, professional, determined- Jim is one of the few who would go above and beyond for his clients.

Jim is the best Realtor that I have worked with in my 10+ years of dealing with real estate as a…read moremortgage broker, appraiser and as a buyer/seller. He is good at his job because he is extremely knowledgeable, which comes from his experience as a construction manager and as a seller for several large Chicago and national developers. So with his experience we are able to really quantify how much extra bedrooms are worth, or how much having a bathroom in the wrong place is worth, or which developer is going to take away your view with their new project in the next year or so after you close. It's difficult to explain but once you have worked with not-great or even average Realtors, you see how valuable someone like Jim is - there's no reason to settle for less.

In 2009 I bought my first home with Tim Stassi of Dwell One realty. He was a great buyer's agent…read more Tim matched my unique requirements superbly and ultimately helped close an amazing deal. Ten years later I was ready to sell the same home and of course I returned to Tim. Once again he came through with a huge win. Following Tim's advice and strategy I was able to sell our place in just a few days and negotiate everything we needed in the process. When it comes time for me to sell again I know exactly who to call - and I can't recommend Dwell One / Tim Stassi highly enough.

When I first emailed Dwell One Realty about looking for a property Tim suggested we meet in…read moreperson. When we met, he took the time to listen to what my wife and I wanted in our first home and explained what he and his company could offer us. Tim really partnered with us in our search. He took the time to meet us as often as we needed until we found the perfect home a year later. He was extremely professional and the customer service was unbeatable. We highly recommend using Dwell One Realty.

He communicated clearly and effectively with both me and every tenant throughout the entire process. I originally worked with John back in 2017 when he helped me purchase the condo, so it felt only right to have him handle the sale. His deep knowledge of the building, its history, and the local area was a huge advantage. I highly recommend John... you're in great hands with him. It was truly a pleasure and an honor working with him again

John is the best realtor I've ever worked with. This man truly eats, sleeps, and breathes real…read moreestate. I've worked with him twice now, both as a buyer and a seller,  and I'm about to work with him for a third time. I can't think of a better endorsement than choosing to go back to the same realtor again and again. Whether buying or selling, John made the process as smooth and stress-free as it could possibly be. Real estate transactions can be overwhelming, but he has a way of making you feel informed, in control, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. The closest comparison I can think of is a doctor with an incredible bedside manner; not only are you getting someone who deeply knows their craft, but someone who genuinely cares about making the experience as easy as possible for you. 1. Real Estate Expertise You can tell almost immediately that John knows his stuff. From comps and pricing strategy to negotiations and local market expertise, he is knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. He brings both confidence and strategy to the table, and you always feel like you're in capable hands. 2. Communication & Responsiveness John is incredibly responsive and easy to reach, often answering calls even when I contacted him unexpectedly. He consistently made me feel like I was his top priority, even though my properties may have been on the lower end of the range he typically works with. He patiently walks you through every step, is honest about both the positives and negatives, and makes sure you fully understand everything before moving forward. 3. Client-First Mentality It was obvious to me from the beginning that John has very high ethical standards. He genuinely wants what is best for his clients and never pressures you into buying or selling something that isn't right for you just to close a deal. He is truly an advocate throughout the entire process. One example that stands out: the week I was ready to list my condo, the unit flooded and the insurance process delayed everything by a couple of months. John remained calm, patient, and level-headed the entire time, which helped keep me from panicking. Everything moved on my timeline, and I never once felt pressured. He also consistently goes above and beyond in ways most realtors wouldn't. On the morning listing photos were being taken, I handed him a bag of light switch covers in a panic -- and he calmly installed them throughout the unit without hesitation. When situations like that came up, his response was always: "I'm a realtor -- that's my job." 4. Calm Under Pressure Nothing seems to faze John. He stays calm, objective, and solutions-oriented no matter what is happening, and that energy absolutely carries over to his clients. Having someone like that in your corner during a stressful process makes all the difference. Bottom line: I will never work with another realtor.
