A cross country move is stressful but working with Nataliia took a lot of our stress away. Nataliia is extremely professional and an incredible broker. She always communicated relevant information for showings and made sure we had all we needed to make our decision. She was incredibly patient with us as we tried to find a place that checked all of our boxes. She was also extremely flexible in scheduling showings for us when we were in town. On top of all of her professional qualifications she is an extremely kind and wonderful human to work with. I highly recommend working with Nataliia if you are looking to move to/in Chicago! She's simply the best and we can't thank her enough for all of her help and support during this process! Thank you Nataliia! You will be hearing from us again when we are ready for our next move With appreciation, Jess

Mayra is an exceptional agent. She went above and beyond to assure me that she'd do her best to…read morefind my dream condo. She was very patient with me as we visited many different units in search the perfect fit for me. Once I found the one I wanted, she worked really hard to get me the price I wanted with closing cost credit and parking included! She also worked with my lender to ensure that I would get the best rate possible. I was more than grateful. Whenever I had a question or concern, she made it a point to find the answer immediately. I was at peace throughout the entire process. Now I have an amazing condo in Streeterville with an amazing in unit view overlooking Lake Michiga. My building is equipped with a beautiful rooftop with a 360° view of the city, an indoor rooftop pool and hot tub, and a large gym with a suana. I'm also within walking distance of the Mag mile, Oak Street and Ohio Stree beach, Navy Pier, and exquisite dining options. I couldn't be happier with my experience. I would recommend Mayra to anyone in search of their dream home.

We listed our house in Wheaton with Susann after interviewing several realtors. Susann's marketing…read moreplan, staging suggestions, pricing rationale and enthusiasm sold us. We had 2 offers the first 5 days which shows she was right on target. She was there for us every step of the way through closing and has kept in contact with us to this day. We had already purchased a home in the Evanston/Skokie area using a different realtor before meeting Susann and what a difference! Once signing the purchase contract that realtor almost disappeared into the woodwork. We told all our (former) neighbors how great Susann was to work with and highly recommend her.

I moved to Chicago from Toronto in 2014 and Charese David was the selling agent for the condo I…read morebought. I was immediately impressed with Charese's detailed knowledge of the building and she was able to answer any and all questions I had. Because I was moving from Canada, the purchase process was more difficult than originally anticipated. Charese was in constant communication with myself and my agent, and I often found it was easier to go straight to her to ensure she had the latest information. The day I came to get the keys, Charese was at the property in person and gave me a Starbucks gift card to thank me for being so great during the process - I kept thinking that I should have been giving HER a gift for putting up with all of the issues I had! When it came time to sell my condo, there was no question - I wanted Charese to be my buying and selling agent. She has a deep knowledge of the Chicago market, asks tough questions during walkthroughs, is always available to talk (or vent) and truly gets to know her clients and what they are looking for. She is very honest about her thoughts on specific properties and wants to ensure her clients get the very best this city has to offer. I would highly recommend Charese to anyone buying or selling a property in Chicago - she will work tirelessly to make sure you get exactly what you want!

Charese David should be your ONLY choice if you're buying or selling in Roscoe Village. She had my…read moreplace sold in 2 to 3 weeks, at 96.3% of asking price. Charese recommended a terrific real estate attorney, who was integral to keeping the deal together. She worked with my buyers, their lender, and their realtor, to keep everything moving. Charese even recommended, and coordinated, her handyman, her tile guy, and her painter, to make the needed beautifications & repairs. I'm very busy, so this was extremely helpful. I had a couple windows that ended-up needing repair, so Charese worked with the window company, and really knocked my socks off with how affordable those repairs ended-up. She also recommended a local moving company that did an outstanding job. Charese David is a Top Producer for a reason. If you want a real Pro, she's the ONLY person you should ever use.

Ifeta was referred to me by my uncle when I started my search for a 2 bedroom condominium. I was going through my first time home-buying experience, and it was AWSOME.

Kara is the most responsive, knowledgable, and compassionate realtor we've ever met. She really…read morelistened to our needs (style of home, school district, budget) and worked with us tirelessly to find the right home for our family. She worked day and night (literally) to respond to our emails or texts, and when she wasn't available she always let us know ahead of time so we were not waiting around. These are little things that we've noticed are not inherent to all agents. We never felt pressured to purchase anything and I'm fully confident Kara would have shown us a 100 more houses until we found the right one. The house we did finally find was a private listing, an option other agents we've used never utilized or informed us of. We were able to get ahead of the competition and avoid potential bidding wars. Thanks, Kara!

Two years ago my wife and I began to search for a single story ranch home. We worked with several…read morebrokers without luck. Well built, larger ranch homes are rare in our area and invariably brokers would become discouraged and just put us on a computerized MLS alert for "Single Story" offerings and forget about us. We saw nothing but listings for small ranches jammed onto tiny corner lots. Kara Kennedy O'Connell with Smothers Realty took an opposite approach. She spent time understanding our needs and then worked harder and smarter than any residential Realtor we have ever used. Kara only suggested homes that came close to fitting our criteria. She previewed the new listings each day and if one looked especially promising, she telephoned with an offer to show the house. After several months she found a great ranch in a perfect location. We highly recommend Kara without qualification.

Pooja Naik - Weichert Realtors…read more We had the pleasure of working with Pooja recently when we relocated from Chicago to NYC. She was FANTASTIC from start to finish. It was a very chaotic time for us personally, but she took care of the most stress inducing aspect - selling the condo. From officially listing the place to final sale was completed in JUST a week!! She was able to get the price that I hoped for and negotiated the closing in out favor. In terms of customer service, she was always readily available and very pleasant. She went over and beyond to make sure nothing was short of great! I would highly recommend her to anyone who expects a true partner & champion!

Without naming names, I can honestly tell you that I could have negotiated a better real estate…read moredeal myself as opposed to my agent at Urban Domain. At 23 years of age. In a dark alley. Drunk. And knocked unconcious. When making an offer, I wanted to offer approx 5 percent less than the asking price. My agent told me "oh no, we don't want to insult them." Excuse me, who are you reprsenting!? Also, on my final walk through...she was annoyed that I caught a few things that had NOT been repaired according to the sales contract. Luckily my real estate attorney forced the sellers to escrow the money for repairs at closing, so I did not get screwe over...but had it been up to my agent I'd have just shut my mouth and closed the deal so she could get the comission. My agent was so...unambitious, unassertive, un real estate agent-like. I kept asking around at how much experience she had, thinking she MUST BE new. No dice, she had 10 years of experience and still had no answers to my questions, and constantly having to get back to me after she talked with the boss. It's like, how do you not know these things!? Or...anything for that matter!? Needless to say, I will do much more research when I find my next agent. I chalk it up to naivete and youth, and I will not make the same mistake again. They do have a nice office...but that's the only positive I can think of.

This is very terrible property management company I have ever met from China to America which is…read moreacross more than half of the earth. The agency, named Sarah, often hang up my phone while most of the time she won't reply my message, phone and email. And the attitude is rude, tough and impolite. I don't know why. Maybe because my nationality? When I can't get what she says and ask her speak slower, her attitude is arrogant and teasing me with one to one word which sounds ambiguous. I know there is gap between different country. But I have been staying in kind of western countries for many years. I can feel, I can distinguish that This kind of attitude is discrimination to me, disgraceful and hurt my Chinese self-respect. There comes another agency named Adam. I thought I saw the hope to get reasonable treatment and respectful attitude. When I ask for release for more than one month ago, after many times of Sarah' insult attitude and I turned to connect with Adam. At first I tried many times and spend a lot of time to get the final definite procedure to do the sublease, which you know the whole thing is really torturing me: I seldom could contact with Adam and get stuck in everyday' waiting. After the sublease guy's the application online and paid the charge,I waited for 11 days to get Adam'reply that the guy's application online is approved but what never told me is that I should wait for the other people who rent the house' agreement! And then I have to get stuck in another time' waiting and I don't know how long should I wait. Because I can not get Adam' reply any more. Really torturing me a long time. I just don't know why the simple things become so complex. In other property management, it is quick that let the previous tenant and future tenant sit together with the agency and sign the contract on the spot and solve the problem. What make me feel really suffering is I seldom get the agency 'reply. I really can't stand this.Because my nationality, language, female, student, that I get such treatment? I think America is a fair country. This is housing discrimination which is against the law Fair Housing Act of 1968. I really feel desperate for the thing.
