I casually walked into Mega Mortgage's new office in Des Plaines while waiting to get my oil…read morechanged at the garage next door. My husband and I own 4 properties (1 personal and 3 rentals) and regularly monitor the interest rate environment, actively refinancing when it makes monetary sense. We had a long-term broker relationship with another group so I had little intention of switching when I walked in - just wanted to get a quote to make sure my current relationship was competitive. Turns out, Mega Mortgage was incredibly competitive, so much so that we immediately locked in a rate and refinanced. I tried to get my prior broker relationship to match Mega's rate but they couldn't do it... The entire underwriting process was extremely seamless - much less so that prior refinances we've done. We worked with Artur Bartosik from beginning to end so no passing off to more junior folks that don't have a good sense of the process; if you've ever refinanced with a big bank, you know how amazingly frustrating this can get. My husband moved jobs over the summer, so employment verification/salary could have been a pain, but Artur and team understood the situation without a hitch. Also, Artur responds to my texts (my preferred method of communication) which I appreciate. At close, Artur came to our home to sign documents which was much more convenient since we have young kids so didn't have to arrange childcare. With the recent rate drop this week, Artur at Mega Mortgage is pricing out additional quotes for our other properties which is likely to result in a second transaction within a month! Couldn't be happier that I casually walked into Mega's new office - great relationship-focused group of individuals that provide superior pricing.

The Puri's have this company fill their buildings for them and are THE worst managers I have ever experienced, and I've had some bad experiences in this city. Refer to my review of Puri Management. We're in the process of taking them to court to get part of our security deposit back that they deducted unfairly from. I just used this service to find my new apartment and thought it was wonderful. I have to admit that I've never been a fan of rental agencies that take you around and rip you off on apartments that you could find for cheaper on your own. However, this place was different. They don't have a huge selection, but they've got the real deals. They don't try to waste your time and show you apartments they know you don't want or can't afford. Here's my experience. They showed us a place where the owner was not advertising anywhere else. So we wouldn't have found it anywhere. It was right around the train line which was exactly what we wanted. They were completely honest with us about what was going to be new and old in the apartment. AND, it was cheaper than other 2 bedrooms in the area. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you want to move to the northern Chicago area.

I've worked in real estate and can tell you that having the right agent on your side is really important - how many other six or seven figure assets do you have laying around? Too many people count on their "cousin's neighbor" or "wife's friend's wife" (or whoever) to guide them through what can be an incredibly complex procedure.
