When you need important documents handled quickly and correctly, Express Apostille & Notary…read moreServices is exactly the kind of place you hope to find. Scheduling was incredibly easy. We needed several estate-planning documents notarized, and it can be surprisingly hard to find a notary who handles everything--signing, stamping, witnesses--efficiently and professionally. Here, it was seamless. Service & Experience *Appointment scheduling was smooth and flexible *Quick responses to initial questions about pricing, witnesses, and requirements *They provided all necessary witnesses on-site *The full notarization process took less than 30 minutes *Pricing was very reasonable given the number of documents we had What Sets Them Apart *Excellent customer service--fast, clear communication from start to finish *Clean, professional setup that makes the process feel easy and stress-free *They also offer apostille services, which is a huge convenience. Instead of navigating government offices downtown or waiting at limited DMV locations, you can simply make an appointment here and get it done without the hassle. Verdict Express Apostille & Notary Services makes a traditionally inconvenient process unbelievably smooth. Great communication, efficient service, reasonable pricing, and the convenience of both notary and apostille offerings in one place. Five stars and highly recommended for anyone needing document services in Chicago.

Multiple calls and texts from owners asking him to fix it. The company he uses couldn't figure it out, and he doesn't want the "hassle of finding another company," his words. When questioned why it's taken 3 months to figure out a problem, he then resigned stating the building takes too much of his time. Also, he doesn't seem concerned with the safety of the unit owners. One owner who is a hoarder and other unit owners have complained about the smell and piles of stuff outside his door also leaves pornographic magazines outside his door. There is a camera facing that door but the cameras haven't been fixed in months. Unit owners have asked numerous times to fix the cameras. Again, his response is very nonchalant. Make sure if you paid a special assessment, the work that needs to get done actually gets done. He claims his company performs building management, which by the way I believe is just him, but definitely it's not the result. Anything more than a broken washing and drying machine is too much to handle.

Paul responded quickly to my inquiry for a real estate appraisal and his rate was comparable to others in the area. Paul arrived promptly, took pictures and answered my questions.

Paul followed up with a phone call and through LogMeIn, he went through the appraisal to explain how he determined the value of the home. I highly recommend Paul and the Rowe Appraisal Group.

That is really all you can ask, but Judy went above and behind... For Christmas she gave my husband and I along with the other 3 tenants a $100 gift card for lettuce entertain you.

I have found as long as I communicated with Judy, she was very accommodating. I hope some day I can be half the landlord that Judy Piekarz-Heitmann is.

I recently moved to Chicago from out of state and was super intimidated by the prospect of finding…read morean apartment. After one quick conversation, Erik made me feel immediately at ease and sent me a prospective list of buildings within the hour. After working with him to cull down that list (he sent around ten buildings that fit my parameters), I was left with four specific apartments I was super interested in. Due to work, I wasn't able to travel to Chicago to visit any of them in person. Thanks to Erik, though, that was absolutely no problem! He went and toured my top choices on my behalf, and immediately sent me videos of him walking through each place--opening doors, showing me exactly what the space looked like with thoughtful commentary throughout. It truly was like I was there, which made such a difference and gave me so much peace of mind during a really stressful time. 48 hours after first contacting Erik, I was approved for an amazing apartment and was able to cross the biggest "to-do" off my list. Moving is stressful and problematic to begin with, but moving sight unseen could have been absolutely disastrous. Thanks to Erik, it ended up being as seamless and stress-free as possible. I cannot recommend him enough!

My boyfriend and I are moving to Chicago from out of state. After endless searching online (on our…read moreown) we found Erik and contacted him. We lined out what we were looking for, and our budget, and just asked if he could give us any suggestions. Erik replied promptly to our first email, and everything was seamless from there. He found several wonderful properties, while also taking in our own suggestions, and scheduled a day of viewings within the same week. We didn't have to do a thing, as Erik made sure every step of the process was handled and ready to go. He simply picked us up from our first viewing location and DROVE us to every other site... this was especially nice for us as we aren't familiar with the area. All communication with the apartment's leasing offices were already handled, and the office knew what we were looking for before we even arrived (thanks to Erik). All we had to do was look at the units and make our decision. As two young people, unfamiliar with the city, Erik couldn't have made this process any easier. He was able to inform us of the different neighborhoods and also throw in some suggestions along the way. We went from searching frantically alone, to having everything tied up and getting approved for a unit well under our budget (and way above our expectations) just after one week of contacting Erik. We are so excited to move in, and continue working with Erik as we grow into different units over the years. Even as we continue to grow more familiar with the city, having a professional find and set up everything for you is so worth it. The best part about this entire service-- it's completely complimentary on your part. Erik's commission comes from the apartment, so as far as fees that you have to pay, there are none. Even though he would be well worth a charge, the fact that there isn't one is beyond amazing.

This review is for my agent Melvin Servellon:…read more My sister and I recently used Melvin for the sale of our parent's home which they purchased back in 1968. With both parents recently deceased, the thought of selling was an emotional battle. Melvin was both patient and kind, answering many of our questions over the phone. He did not pressure us to sign a contract, and encouraged us to take our time to decide on whether or not we truly wanted to sell our childhood home. On the first day our home went up for sale, frozen rain had laid out a sheet of ice along the driveway and front entryway. Melvin went early in the morning to salt all slippery areas making it safe for the 6 showings he had lined up that first day. Within 24 hours of being on the market, we received 4 offers, went under contract, and closed on the sale a month later. Melvin is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and personable. Definitely a pleasure to work with and would work with him again in the future.

The close for the sale of my condo was done here and after reviewing the financial statement and providing POA to my attorney everything went downhill from there. Jennifer, the person handling the close had the financials wrong, instead of wiring my loan company the balance, she popped it in the mail. Four days after the close and multiple calls to my bank regarding my loan balance, I called B&W. No one could help me and had to track the closer down! Once they found her, she called me to tell me I should never insinuate that she was stealing my money. I told her the money was supposed to be wired first thing the next day (I had an afternoon close and B&W doesn't wire money in the afternoon) and that is wasn't. She never reached out to my attorney or my B&W realtor to say she couldn't locate the wire instructions and needed them again. She couldn't even bother to provide a tracking number so I could verify that she sent the money. I would stay away and go anywhere but here!
