My husband and I purchased our first home, which was a condo in downtown Chicago, 17 years ago…read more When we began the process, we came across Best Chicago Properties and met Chuck Gullet. As first-time buyers we were nervous and had a lot of questions, but Chuck guided us through every step of the process and made everything comfortable, manageable, and exciting instead of overwhelming. Seventeen years later, we reached back out to Chuck again--this time to help us sell that same condo. Just like when we first worked with him, the process was incredibly smooth. Chuck and his team were diligent, professional, and very responsive from start to finish. Chuck truly put in the work to get our property sold quickly. He hosted open houses, he did the footwork, and follow up calls to ensure our condo received great exposure and strong attention from potential buyers. It really says a lot that after 17 years we knew exactly who to call. Chuck continues to provide exceptional service, and we highly recommend him and his team at Best Chicago Properties.

A few years ago, he helped me find the perfect place in Downtown Chicago, listening carefully to my needs and finding a condo that I wouldn't have found myself that checked all boxes. As an extra bonus, he gave me great tips for decorating it and sourcing materials! When my family needs changed and it came time for me to move again, Chuck worked with me to sell the same place. He was a wonderful partner and did way more than most realtors would to help with staging, attending to odds-and-ends, and helping me to understand and navigate the process. We got multiple offers and a good price--all on a tight timeline. Chuck is super responsive and has excellent judgement. I can't say enough good things. At the most basic level, Chuck is someone you can trust - to understand any situation, to give sound advice, and to always show up and go the extra mile.

Let me mention, I have come in contact with and discussed home purchases with a large number of agents, and found the same unhappy/uneasy feelings with all of them. Until I met Lynn. Lynn is extremely patient, understanding, calm, cool, and energetic. I felt she knew the industry better then any other agent I worked with. Even better yet, she actually listened to me and molded her strategy around my desires. She even opened my eyes to a few things along the way. Despite that she supports plenty of clients at one time, I felt the personalized attention that left me feeling comforted in every step of the process we got to.

It has been just a few short months since we closed on our new home, and we could not be happier…read moreand more grateful. We owe much of this opportunity to our realtor Damian Albert who walked with us from the very beginning of our search, when we only had a vague idea of what kind of property we were looking for, down to the last conversation we had following our close at the title company office. Homebuying in an inflated market is absolutely a roller coaster ride of emotions. But what we appreciated about Damian was his professionalism, calm, and attention to detail through each phase of the process. Being new to homebuying, we had little idea of what to expect or how the process worked. But Damian took the time to explain the steps to us in a way that was clear and was quick to return calls when we had questions. Early in the process, Damian was prompt in scheduling showings and was thorough in pointing out features and themes to look for, when it came to good signs or red flags concerning features of properties. As we begun to narrow down the most important characteristics we were looking for in a future home, we did not feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. Damian was never prescriptive in giving us advice, but urged us to be patient with ourselves to ensure that we would feel comfortable with whatever decisions we came to. By the time we were ready to make an offer, Damian counseled us on how to approach the situation out of both his experience and with empirical market research. He provided recommendations for home inspection, financing, and legal representatives and helped us negotiate with a tough seller to close the deal. If you are looking for an experienced realtor who cares about not just his own bottom line, but deeply about people and communities, we would highly recommend Damian.

For a first time homebuyer, purchasing a home can be a daunting and intimidating task (Or so I've…read moreheard). Not to mention, purchasing one in the midst of a pandemic where the interest in homeownership has skyrocketed causing a record-breaking decrease in inventory coupled with inflated prices to match. This was the situation when my wife and I entered the market on 12/23/20 in search of our new home in the Galewood area of Chicago's Austin community. We were very ambitious buyers with a relatively limited budget. This means we wanted all the amenities like specific location, sizable square footage, move-in ready with modern finishes, and a big backyard with a garage but for the best value possible. Thankfully for us, our realtor is a realist. Damian's pragmatic approach to aiding us in our search was not only helpful, it was ideal. During our search, we toured 9 properties in 46 days. Just under half of those checked our wish list for the desired location. If the property had one thing it was missing another and new listings were far and in between. Our hope was to find the right home before the summer but success was proving to be more challenging than we thought. However, Damian was encouraging throughout and most of all - patient. Whenever we went to view a property, he always seized the opportunity to educate us about the fine points of homeownership and the many factors we needed to consider short and long-term. When he wasn't showing us properties, he was sending us examples to view so we could continue to increase our understanding on what home would best suit our family. This is what ultimately led us to make an offer and successfully purchase the first home on our tour list he curated. Damian's knowledge and experience provided us with just enough guidance to make a difficult and weighty decision, logical and clear. This made our experience as first time homebuyers delightful and memorable. Today, we are enjoying our new home and couldn't be happier with our purchase. This wouldn't have been possible without the right realtor. Whether you are a first time buyer like us or looking to purchase another property, Damian's attention to detail, thorough analysis, and professionalism makes him an ideal realtor for today's housing market.

Selling my Lincoln Park condo with Dan Spitz and the team at Captivate Real Estate Group was the…read morebest real estate experience I've ever had. Over the course of a year, we had to delay our sale multiple times for personal reasons. Dan and his team were never pushy--just consistently supportive and patient. When we were finally ready to list, they provided data-driven recommendations that led us to price the condo about 5% higher than I'd planned. They handled everything: within 24 hours of moving out, a team of contractors was in to paint and make minor fixes. The very next day, stunning professional photos were up and the listing was live across all platforms. Three days later, they hosted the first (and only) open house. Three days after that, we had two offers--one all-cash, both at asking price. Dan's team managed a best-and-final offer process that got us more than 10% above what we ever thought possible. They also connected me with a fantastic real estate attorney (at a very reasonable fee), who arranged for all the closing paperwork to be handled remotely via a notary. I never even had to show up for closing, and the funds hit my account less than 24 hours later. From move-out to money in my account: one month. Top-notch, data-driven, and genuinely client-focused. Could not recommend Dan and the Captivate team more highly.

Our search was long, but we got exactly what we wanted, and Greg was cool with that. None of this show you 5 places and tell you to pick - he cares about his clients and makes sure you get a great deal, both right now and in the long term. In this market, you have to be picky, and Greg gets as much enjoyment out of finding you a great deal as you will! I highly recommend Blueprint606 and Greg Kohlhagen specifically, for anyone looking to buy a new place. Additionally, if you're looking for a place on the North Side, Greg is very familiar, I happen to know because we went with him to most every 2 bedroom north of Montrose, ahaha!
