    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.

    I've been talking to Chris ever since he has been working with my building and they do such a great…read morejob. For me every time I've called they've answered my questions. My landlord just signed up with their management company and I think they're doing a great job. My contact Chris is always there he answers his phone he answers every question he's very informative and it's very comforting knowing that they're always on top of things. Even though I just found out they're raising the rent they make sure that they send you the proper information so you're always on top of things and informed about everything. So far so good great job guys and girls.

    If I could give Westward360 zero stars, I would. Our previous management company, Advocate was…read morebought by Westward360. A new contract was not issued by Westward360 so our board assumed that they would follow the Advocate contract. They did not. When we gave the required notice that we would be ending our yearly contract with them, they refused to send our manager to the final meeting, stating that although Advocate policy was that a manager would be present at all meetings, Westward360 did not follow the same protocol. Their policy was to not have a manager present at board meetings once notice was given. Mind you, we paid for management representation at every meeting under the Advocate Contract. During our last month with the company, we contested a $2000 bill from Westward for tracking dryer vent cleaning and furnance cleaning. This was not something that was previously billed. While contesting this bill, Westward360 processed the payment without board approval. We ended the contract on October 31, 2025. It is now January 12, 2026 and Westward360 still hasn't released our reserve funds to the new management company. Aside from all these issues, response time to maintaince issues was poor. Example, when raw sewage backed up in 3 of the 4 units in the building, it took 3 days for it to be rectified. It was difficult to get ahold of our manager. Assistant managers are housed out of the country and are poorly trained. They are unable to answer questions and often say, "I will have to check with my manager." Response time for administrative duties was also subpar. We asked for a banking proposal for a loan to replace roofs. After waiting for over 6 months, with excuse after excuse, we decided to self fund. This company has poor customer service. I would not recommend it as a mangement company. You do not get your money's worth from them.
