She was able to help us sell our home for the highest sale in neighborhood history. Everything from staging, cleaning, utilizing her own decor from her house if needed, letting our dog out, open house, negotiating. Effortless for her. You will not regret choosing Laura! She will be honest, set realistic expectations, and be your advocate all the way through.

It was around February 2020 when me and my wife decided on buying our own dream home. We were…read moreapprehensive and had absolutely no idea of how to go about doing it but we needed to start somewhere.I believe home buying could be very stressful process especially for a first time home buyer. I thought Google would be a nice place to start to look for a realtor who could help us find our next dwelling. I did my search online to look for a firm with a proven track record, good ratings & testimonials and who could understand what we exactly were looking within the location of our choosing and of course, keeping it under our budget!! And then the pandemic struck the US to make the whole process a lot harder. We weren't sure if any realtor would be willing in person in these troubled times to go around the city, to show us properties in reality. Obviously, Market standing , credibility turnaround time and knowledge played a significant role in our realtor choosing process. While googling, I looked up best realtors in Chicagoland area and that's where I came across McPherson Westhoff realty. Emailed them the next day and got a call back within hours from them asking about our selected areas/ expectations for our new home. They took down all the information and customized our property search results based on the criteria we set. Here is where Laura Duckett with Compass Realty was introduced to us for the first time to help us see some properties in which we were interested and we are glad we were. Laura struck me as an incredibly knowledgeable, patient, honest,helpful punctual ,diligent, passionate realtor who loves her job and who was one step ahead in her game of finding us the right property as per our requirements with a pleasing personality. She's serious about her work and humorous when the moment calls for it .She was reachable whenever needed and always inboxed newly listed or upcoming properties depending on the frequency we asked for. She scheduled showings of the properties , even from a third party website in a timely, meticulous manner with a proper printed travel map at a short notice. She totally respects her clients considerations, be it price, neighborhood, budget or you name it. We were always comfortable discussing anything and everything with her. To be honest, we became friends with her ,talking and looking over multiple properties and it gave us a sense of personal connection with her within a short span of time . We never felt rushed in, forced into buying anything or any unsolicited advice by her. She would drive with us to multiple properties in a single day all around Chicago and would give suggestions of what needed attention in a potential property, looked closely at the mechanicals, foundation, walls, flooring, ceiling appliances and materials. She was on top of answering any questions we had, and if she wouldn't know the answer right away she would make an extra effort to find them out by the end of the day to text later. I remember her sending texts even during the late night hours about a ghost query I had.It wouldn't be an exaggeration if I could say she not only won our trust, she won our hearts!! Well, after we decided on buying our current home, Laura made the whole process of negotiating, comparing the comps, putting in the offer, inspection, hiring a real estate attorney, getting a lender at a cheaper rate super quick and super smooth. She kept everyone in the loop while we went through closing with a 100% transparency. Unfortunately, Laura couldn't be present because of social distancing restrictions during our closing during the pandemic so she asked us to have our picture taken outside the title company with her head shot and that's exactly what we did.lol. She, in turn, framed that same picture and gifted it to us at the time of handing over the keys to our new house. That was hilarious! Later when we became new homeowners she suggested a firm to help us with our moving, setting up internet and other utilities transferred into our names all of which went through like a breeze and for free!! Our home buying process couldn't be any easier than what Laura made it. I highly recommend Laura as one of the topmost real estate agent one can find for the Northwest/ western suburbs. Please call her for all your real estate needs, see her in action and I'm sure you'll be delighted you did because she's exceptional in what she does. We kinda sat back and relaxed while Laura did all the work for us .We appreciate it a lot all of what you did including the leaf blower which you gifted us with is in use every single weekend reminding us of you being by our side;) . Thank you Laura.

We had very specific needs (proximity to metra, location, schools, room count, etc) and felt overwhelmed. We met Joelle at a showing and we were both impressed with her knowledge of the local real estate market, professionalism, and attention to our specific needs. Especially with how challenging it is to find the right home in today's real estate scene, we appreciated that Joelle gave us unbiased input (even pointing out potential issues that would dissuade us from extending an offer) I give my recommendation for Joelle not only because she helped us buy our first home (which we are very happy with) but because she acted in our best interest throughout our search. You would be hard pressed to find a better person to work with if you are looking for a home.

She was also always available by phone or text. She has a solid team behind her who also served us well. She has helpful connections for other parts of putting a home on the market. She is a seasoned negotiator and knew when to counsel patience or be more assertive during that period. On top of all that, she's also a really nice person! Our house sold quickly and above our asking price. We highly recommend Joelle! BTW, we are in Minneapolis, Not San Francisco, and our work with Joelle was in summer and fall 2024.
