Working with Chris Jacobs and his team over the past nine months has been an exceptional…read moreexperience. Chris helped our family navigate both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home, and we could not have asked for a better real estate professional to guide us through such an important transition. Chris brings an incredible amount of knowledge and experience to the table, but what impressed us most was the class, professionalism, and integrity he demonstrated throughout the entire process. He was always responsive, patient, honest, and several steps ahead, making sure we understood our options and felt confident in every decision. There are inevitably stressful moments when buying and selling a home, but Chris has a way of bringing calm and perspective to the process. We always felt that he genuinely had our family's best interests in mind and that we had someone in our corner who knew exactly how to handle whatever came our way. We are extremely grateful to Chris and his entire team for everything they did for our family. I would recommend Chris without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly first-class real estate professional. Thank you again, Chris, for helping our family through this exciting chapter!

Chris is the absolute best! If you're looking for a home in Inverness or the surrounding areas, you…read moreNEED to work with Chris. His knowledge of the market is unmatched. He is extremely professional and hard working. He is an excellent communicator and responds quickly. He knows what he's doing and he always gets the job done. I was in a situation where the sellers had already accepted an offer from another buyer on the home I wanted. Chris advised that I still submit an offer, and also write the sellers a letter with a personal story. It did the trick! The sellers ended up backing out of their first offer and accepting my offer instead. Thanks to him I now live in a home I love that means so much to me. I can't recommend Chris highly enough.

I live next door to a new residence Steve Acoba built & sold. He was less than truthful, always…read morewith good manners and a big smile from early in the process, citing a non existent ordinance about gangway placement that resulted in the new building being very close to my very old one. He suggested not putting a fence between the house "so I could retain some of the light I lost". I foolishly agreed which led to 2 large ac units being 2.5' from my many-windowed wall; this creates an echo chamber & the intermittent loud hum permeates my whole house, destroying my quality of life. I got a deflection from Steve Acoba when I reported this. The next day I found out the sale had closed & he'd washed his hands of the whole business. I've already invested a lot of money in a futile attempt to deaden the noise, and will continue to pursue that. So. I'm seriousLu of pocket, assaulted by noise every day, and having a hard time not associating my feelings of betrayal, dismissal and anger towards Steve Acoba with the new neighbors. I write this in hopes it will alert existing neighbors to be more vigilant than they might be about what could impact them, and to let buyers know they may be walking into neighbor problems they could not foresee. On a separate note, the foreman Vlad and his crews were great, both at steady work and daily cleanup so Iwas happy to grant his request to start an hour earlier than the city allows.

He is people smart, business bright, very talented - and a fine human being to boot. I can't think of a single shortcoming about this guy. From the very start he was stunningly attentive, returned every call and text, filled-in every gap, anticipated every issue, and he displays the finest of personalities. I'm writing this Yelp review because 8 months ago I had never met Steve, but a neighbor gave him real praise, and when I checked on Yelp, those who reviewed Steve Acoba had obviously shared the same kind of great experience. Now I am one of them. He's really THAT good.

Our search for a home in Chicago was peculiar because we had strict criteria for school district,…read moreprice, and timing - plus we were living in Cincinnati at the time. Elliot and Olivia could not have been more helpful to as as we lived out of town. They helped us narrow down what we were looking for so that our trips into Chicago were packed full of properties that suited us and they were quick to eliminate and reconnoiter our viewings to make sure we were seeing the right places. Even showed us options should we need to rent until the perfect place became available. Ultimately, we fell in love with a particular place in a specific school district and it felt like we had a team of vigilant coyotes on our team to make sure it became ours! They stayed in touch with the seller's agent and a property we thought was lost and gone became home to my wife, daughter, dog, and I. Soup to nuts one of the best real estate transactions either of us have ever had. Highly recommend

I signed up the site to find a buyer agent and Rich contacted me that evening, Thanksgiving evening! He spent quite a bit of time asking exactly what I was looking for and set me up with a website I could log into to see condos that met my criteria. I found ones that I wanted to look at, we met and looked at a few places. I found a place I liked, he helped me with negotiation then helped me find a great home inspector and an excellent lawyer. He helped me with any questions I had, which I had more than a few, and I've got a condo now! I recommend Rich and the Harty Group. I was a bit afraid that since I was looking for a cheaper place, that I wouldn't get the best help or that I would need to pay out of pocket for an agent, but there was no need to worry. I am so pleased with the service Rich provided! He really knows his stuff and seems to enjoy doing what he does, helping people find their new home.

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!
