I asked her to check on specific things like permits (the property was a full gut rehab) and she was able to find everything.

I would definitely recommend Connie Spencer to use for real estate transactions.

I used Connie Spencer to represent me as a buyer for a condo purchase. It was awful. The worst real…read moreestate transaction I've ever had. I could never get any questions answered regarding the property i.e. what storage unit accompanies the unit, do the sellers have a tax homestead exemption in place. I would literally have to ask multiple times, week after week and all I would hear in response is 'the sellers aren't communicative'. So I would then have to call the property manager of the condos or the county tax assessor to find the answers myself! She could have done that but apparently that is too much work for her too! Oh, and she NEVER even checked to make sure a homestead exemption was in place! Apparently that is too much work for her as well! Not only that but a couple days before closing I made her aware I needed the closing statement by Tuesday so I had time to review it and go to the bank for a cashiers check to close on Tuesday......she had it and never forwarded it to me! And never communicated the situation to the other parties! Literally all she did was had the sellers agree to pay their taxes and not even for their entire stay! That was a total rip off......I could have done what she did myself and done it better. Look elsewhere, this was beyond a bad experience.

This was our first homebuying experience in Chicago and we weren't used to needing a lawyer…read more Granted, there are lots of specific details that can leave you hanging when buying a house, but unfortunately I feel like the escrow company did a lot of the same work at the closing and my first house in Seattle. Warren did help out during our contract negotiation by asking for specific language that only a lawyer would ask for. However, he was sloppy and even put some items on our post inspection request that weren't in the report. I think that was a copy and paste mistake. He also was slow to respond to emails and actually delayed our process a little bit which was frustrating since I told him we're hoping for a fast closing. At the end of the day we got what we needed, but he added additional stress to an already stressful process which was very unfortunate.

Warren Silver was the attorney for my first-ever real-estate purchase, of a condo on the North Side…read moreof Chicago. He was detailed, patient and helpful. At the closing he explained all the minutiae so it actually made sense (!). He was also very careful with the contracts. My realtor was extremely impressed with Warren's thoroughness in protecting my interests if things fell through ... and I ended up bidding on three places, so this was an extended process. I will say, in response to the other review, that Warren takes the time to be thorough, make sure he answers questions correctly with actual knowledge, and preferably move things forward between phone calls/emails. This typically takes a little longer than humoring anxious buyers (and we're all anxious) with nutritionless hand-holding. I was glad he was focusing his time on getting things right rather than calling/emailing to tell me he'd call/email me later every time, but maybe that's just me.

Also worth noting that I followed up five months following that to confirm it was done, he said it should still happen because of the pandemic it was taking a while. He did zero-research and he was wrong. Now I have to pay for his mistakes. Tom does not like questions as it requires him to respond in a timely manner which his it appears he is lacking communication skills. Unless it is going to make him a substantial amount of money he doesn't want to respond and don't expect details--five word answers all day long. He will be your registered agent, but made it feel I was wasting his time. When I told him I used my other real estate attorney because I HAD TO SWITCH, he tells me "I am glad you found someone that would work for $200 a year". Funny thing is he works for $110/year so he must want the business...? The goal was to align with a young professional to build a long-term working relationship with. Lesson-learned, you are better-off with experience and if you feel something is off in the beginning--act on that feeling, trust your gut.
