As another person wrote, he is the slimiest and most unethical agent we, our real estate and…read moreattorney have ever encountered. DO NOT buy a home from him! Similar to the other experience posted, he stalled the sellers signatures (almost 48 hours), making excuses and then tried to provide us with an incomplete contract twice. Once under contract, he came back 3 hours before our scheduled inspection of the home and made demands which forced us to back out; come to find out he did it on purpose because he wanted to accept another offer once we were already under contract. While what he did was not illegal, it is highly unethical and bad business all around. Red flags from day one. Save yourself the time and effort and stay away from his listings.

We happened to meet Alan at an open house, where he was clearly knowledgeable about neighborhoods…read moreand homes in the Northshore area. He was extremely well versed in the school systems. He made an effort to get to know us right from the start. We were looking for a spacious newer or new home, with downtown train access and in a great school system. We looked at around 25 existing homes, lots/tear downs, and under-construction homes. Alan was able to make on-the-spot recommendations and ballpark cost estimates from things like remodeling kitchens to completely new construction, given his own experience in building new homes. Alan was patient, honest, knowledgeable, readily available, approachable, and always on top of things. We never felt pressured about anything. Alan exceeded all of our expectations.

I highly recommend Judy Greenberg and her team!

My wife and I met Stephanie and Beth at an open house a few years ago. I had already been looking…read moreto ditch my agent at the time, mostly because he was not listening to me and he was pushing us towards a decision that he would make, not necessarily a choice we wanted. (We moved from the city to North Shore-a big decision for us as we've been downtown for over a decade, and still love it). Then we ran into Steph/Beth at another subsequent open house. I'd had enough with my old agent's pushy/slime-y salesmanship and we had built a quick and comfortable rapport with Beth/Steph. The decision was clear, for buying in the North Shore, we would begin a working relationship with Beth/Steph. Over the course of two years, they graciously guided us through searching, knowing the whole time we may not end up pulling the trigger for a long time. That didn't matter to them, they weren't hunting for a deal. They were fighting for our best interests, which I love. Never pushy, always helpful and always patient. In my experience, you don't often see that with realtors. You often get the hard sell, desperation mode style of pitching a deal. That hard sell and aggressive tactics tells me as a customer that they don't really care about the client, they just care about their commission. Stephanie and Beth are the polar opposite and we consider ourselves lucky to have had a few chance run ins that turned into a fruitful working relationship. Win-Win through and through. No matter what end of a real estate transaction you're on, Beth and Stephanie have all my praise and confidence in stewarding a client from start to finish.

A rather large home with lots of stuff to shuffle about, I was completely impressed by Beth's ability to quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of the home and determine what needed to be accomplished prior to getting it on the market. Completely hands-on with obvious design sense, she gave great direction and even brought in loads of throw pillows and artwork from her own home to see her vision through. Though I haven't worked with Beth personally on the sale or purchase of a home, I would highly recommend her services. She works fast, has the utmost respect for her clients and thorough knowledge for what a buyer would want to see. Beth is willing to go above and beyond to get the job done. And, here's the proof, because she just announced the house went under contract with multiple offers in only seven days!

We kept in touch through the years and ran into her regularly in the Deerfield community. When a job opportunity required us to move across the country and sell our second Deerfield house after 22 years, we chose Sharon to sell our home. Ours was a beautiful but unique house. Sharon was frank about the challenges we faced in maximizing the house's appeal but laid out a sensible strategy for us. From pricing the house, preparing and staging it for sale, and communicating with potential buyers, Sharon's advice was both honest and accurate even if it wasn't always what we hoped to hear. Once we hired her she worked tirelessly on our behalf. She sold the house quickly at a time of year that wasn't ideal, and at only a small discount to the listing price she recommended. She was highly responsive; we remember speaking to her morning, noon and night. We are grateful for her counsel and recommend her highly.

If I could give Claudio Varo from Varo Real Estate more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat…read more Working with Claudio has been one of the best experiences we've ever had, not just in real estate but with any professional, period.We were helping my parents find a condo, and in today's limited market, that's not easy. But Claudio made the entire process feel effortless. He showed us around a dozen properties, and every single time, he was patient, professional, and genuinely caring. He didn't just open doors; he walked us through every detail, pointed out things most agents would miss, and gave honest, thoughtful advice. He even saved us from a few total disasters along the way.What really makes Claudio special is his honesty and integrity. It's SO clear that he's not just trying to make a sale. He truly wants his clients to find the right home. Since my parents weren't in a rush, he literally told us, "Don't buy something just to buy it, wait for the right one." That alone says everything about the kind of person and realtor he is.He also goes above and beyond when it comes to communication. Claudio was always there for us, no matter what time it was. There were nights when we'd text him at 11 PM and mornings when we'd message at 7 AM, and without fail, he always responded right away. He always answered my calls, and I never once had to wait or wonder if I'd hear back. That kind of responsiveness and dedication is almost unheard of these days, and it meant the world to us.My mom, who attended every single showing, said it best: "You couldn't have picked a better realtor." She constantly mentioned how much she appreciated his patience, kindness, and honesty, and she's genuinely so thankful for everything he did. Claudio treated us like family, not clients, and that's something we'll never forget.If you're looking for a realtor who's professional, honest, patient, and truly dedicated to your best interests, someone who will show up, answer every text, every call, and genuinely care about finding what's right for you -- Claudio is your guy.Thank you, Claudio, for your honesty, your time, your patience, and your heart.
