My wife and I have worked with Evelyn off/on for the past 4 years. Four years ago she helped us find a rental home when we were not ready to buy and that was no easy feat considering we were coming from the city and had high expectations for a rental. Evelyn never got frustrated or tired of showing us rentals. We must've looked at over 25 houses and townhomes and thought we'd finally decided on one. As we were about to sign the paperwork, a listing we'd kept our eyes on was suddenly available, we were out of town and unable to go look at it in person, but Evelyn rushed over to the rental house and took extensive photographs for us. Based on the photos Evelyn took and her recommendations (she knew exactly what we were looking for) we signed the rental agreement, sight unseen. We lived there for a little over 3 years and were not disappointed!
When we were ready to buy a house we contacted Evelyn again and she was again, exhaustive in her efforts to find our "dream home." We looked for over three months and had a very hard time finding something that we both agreed on; we both have very different tastes. Evelyn showed us over 50 listings in the Western Suburbs and never got frustrated with our long journey into home buying. She helped us re-focus our search when we got frustrated with the search, and helped us decide what we were really looking for in a home. She sent us listings and scheduled appointments for us on the fly if we were interested in seeing a "hot listing." Evelyn was a consummate professional: she responded quickly to all of emails, texts, and phone calls; she always had detailed knowledge of the area we were looking in; she knew all of the information regarding the home we looked at (HOA fees, amenities available, property taxes, crime in neighborhood, etc.). When we finally found our "dream home" she was right on with her recommendation for our initial offer and seamlessly assisted us in negotiating the purchase price. She stayed in contact with us during the countdown to closing and helped keep the lines of communication open between us and the sellers when we hit a snag. We very happily closed on September 14th and I would recommend her without hesitation! read more
