As new home buyers, we were anxious about the home-buying process. However, it was immediately evident that Asia (& the NR team) is an exceptional real estate agent who put us at ease throughout the entire process. She is patient, kind, and highly professional. She worked extremely hard for us and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We would recommend her to anyone and look forward to working with her when selling/buying our future homes! read more

Emina is an amazing agent. I started the house search process in Jan 2023 and I closed on my property in Jan 2023. Her and the Nicholas Ryan team are amazing. You couldn't ask for a better group of people for you. They helped me get my condo that had 15 offers on the table. You gotta take the leap and join the fam. Emina is super nice and attentive. She will drive anywhere you want and will have options with your requirements for you. I was blessed to have such a short search journey to find my new home. I am also a first time buyer so she was a huge teacher and support as well. I would find things and she would give a honest perspective and showed her knowledge and expertise. She truly is amazing!! read more

Christen review I found the Nicholas Ryan Team and was immediately in contact with Nicholas Ryan. He then set me up with Christen on a consult call. I live out of state, so I needed a trusted team to sell my tenant occupied condo on the North-side of Chicago. Not only did Christen sell my home in the off market and at list price but she went OVER and BEYOND to work with my tenant (who started out slightly disgruntled). By the end of it, the tenant, Christen and myself were working together! Christen brought us both peace in the middle of a pandemic! Since I was not able to be there in person, Christen and her team took care of *everything* making sure the new buyer has a freshly painted + cleaned home on closing day. I told Christen many times and will say it over and over. She is a true angel, not only as a realtor, but as an extraordinary human who wants nothing but the best for all involved. I felt deeply taken care of and honored in the entire roller coaster process. I am sure if I had any other agent I would not have sold my condo. She is special, and she will deliver! read more

I met Veronica Jacobo with The Nicholas Ryan Team in Summer 2020 when I was contemplating the idea of purchasing a single-family home. All around, I had a phenomenal experience with Veronica's extensive level of knowledge of lending, construction, inspection, insurance, and even negotiating a smoking great deal right in front of my eyes. She really knows her stuff, and is surrounded by a fabulous team that hastens in the background to make the home-buying process as smooth as possible. Veronica assured me I would be working with the best, and she absolutely delivered. As a proactive first-time buyer, I came into this process a bit scattered and undecided about a lot of variables, and Veronica helped me to operate from a goal-oriented center, focusing on my personal ambitions and motivations for buying. When I was undecided on a lender, Veronica connected me with a personable expert who provided stellar customer service, explaining in great detail the ins-and-outs of monthly costs on a prospective property. When I couldn't decide between locations and my criteria varied from a Condo, to a Single Family home to a Multi-Unit, Veronica took my personal interests into consideration, and used her expertise to educate me about making a wise investment that would serve me now and in the future. As a first-time home-buyer, I appreciated Veronica's level of patience and willingness to educate me throughout the whole process. In the end, I made the decision to go with a conventional loan on a multi-unit as my first home. I had sent Veronica Jacobo, like 50 homes I wanted to see. We did virtual tours, narrowed down my search and she just overall made my experience gratifying. "No pressure no stress; we will find the right one," were some of Veronica's reassuring words. I definitely see Veronica Jacobo as my Real Estate Advisor, and her dedicated team of experts - lenders, inspectors and attorneys - was beyond what I could have expected from a Real Estate Agent I met via a Zoom meeting. If you haven't had a phenomenal experience purchasing a home or finding the right home, I highly recommend contacting Veronica Jacobo. She is worth everything and more. read more

When I met Cyrus, the first thing I said to him was: "My first experience as a homebuyer was very impersonal. I didn't like that". He must have taken it to heart because my second home buying experience was the complete opposite. It felt like Cyrus became part of my family. He is friendly, kind, helpful, trustworthy...and above all honest. I never felt like I was just part of a transaction. I felt like we were in this together. He was able to find our second home and made sure the process was beneficial to us every step of the way. He even went above and beyond to help us out with matters outside of his scope of work. Oh, and he's helping us sell our first home too! You can tell he loves what he does and takes his job very seriously. My husband and I cannot recommend contacting Cyrus and the Nicholas Ryan Team enough!" read more

When it comes to Real Estate, professionalism, ethics and follow up. Hands Down Nicholas Ryan, I reached out to him about a space I needed for my office and in a matter of days I was signing up a contract. Not only did he look for the space but he also worked up a deal for me. Talk about really listening and walking me through the process. If I would ever go into Real Estate I would love to be on his team as well. read more

Nicholas Ryan - Real Estate Services Near Me

After a bit of discussion, I found that realtor Laura Bell knew exactly what I was looking for, found properties, arranged showings, and was VERY patient and knowledgeable. She understood my needs and was easy to talk to about anything. Always available to answer questions and get things done. Excellent experience! Would definitely work with her again! read more

I signed up to help get information on purchasing a new home and the Emina Dapcevic who referred to speak to the one of there lenders by to get an pre approval never called back yet came off kind of rude . My credit check that was performed by the relator here was good Emina Dapcevic did the check . I submitted forms and signed the paperwork yet contract to this day still have gotten no pre approval etc. The communication was right there and the second lender I spoke to hear was rude as well for the most part, They need to train there staff how to talk to people. To this day no one has emailed me or call and will elsewhere to work on getting my new home in 2023 . read more

We re-connected with Mike Williams of the Nicholas Ryan Team during the Spring of 2021. Our market in South Loop Chicago was slow, but Mike got our home sold quickly. Not only has Mike been fun to work with, but as a first time home seller, he has given us the knowledge and confidence to take the journey into selling our home. His patience, and negotiation skills got our home sold..at full asking price! He built so much demand for our home with his amazing HGTV styled video, we had multiple offers after just one Open House. We highly recommend Mike Williams, and the Nicholas Ryan Team to anyone looking to sell their home for top dollar. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars to Christen, I absolutely would! From the very first phone call, I knew I was in the very best hands!! She is warm, funny, and very professional. She was OUTSTANDING at listening, understanding, and respecting my wishes and needs. This was no small feat considering the unexpected challenges that seemed to pop up every step along the way. She was exceptional at managing them and I earned my full confidence to always work with her in the future. Don't think twice about working with Christen, just do it! You won't have any regrets and will always feel like you are being treated like family and are her number one priority. read more

Bryan was a wonderful agent to work with as we purchased our first home. He knew where everything was with the attorney and mortgage firm as we were new at navigating this space. Bryan was also very polite and professional throughout the course of the transaction. read more

I found the Nicholas Ryan Team through a postcard for the Edgewater Area. The Team sold my home in the middle of a pandemic, and during the middle of winter. Christen was able to navigate the moving out of my tenants, cleaning/painting the unit to give it a fresh new look and had it beautifully photographed/virtually staged. I had my beloved condo for many many years and I put a lot of love into the property. I was at a point where I had to sell and I was living out of state so I needed someone who could be very hands on. Christen was able to understand this and make sure my home was being shown at all times in the best possible light! She was very knowledgeable of how my home was trending in the market, keeping me in the loop and she was very thoughtful in calling me to connect not just about the sale of my home but life in general!' read more

Given the pandemic, we knew the market might be tricky. Nick and his team got the job done selling our condo in Lakeview and the parking spot in 2 separate transactions. We are now repeat clients of the Nicholas Ryan Team and would recommend their services! read more

Exit Strategy must be one of the best realty agencies in Chicago and in the country. Natasha provided me with more help and information than I could have ever hoped for. As a first-time home buyer who hadn't done a lot of research, I did not know exactly what I was getting myself into, but Natasha was there to guide me through the whole process. From setting up showings to recommending mortgage brokers and lawyers to negotiating the sale of the condo I purchased, she was always there to facilitate the process and make purchasing my new home as easy and straightforward as it could possibly be. Her negotiating skills helped me land an incredible deal on a condo that I probably could not have gotten on my own. In addition to the exceptional level of help she provided, she also gifted me champagne and other generous gifts to congratulate me on my purchase. The process of purchasing property was as simple as it could have possibly been because of the incredible work Natasha and the Nicholas Ryan team have done, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

We recently moved to Chicago from Florida and began our search for a condo in the South Loop. We found Bryan and the Nicholas Ryan team online and they quickly responded to show us an Off Market condo. We immediately fell in love with the apartment and the surrounding area, seemed like they sensed exactly who we are and what we were looking for. The sellers had multiple offers but our offer was accepted! Bryan was always responsive and helpful throughout the deal. We couldn't be happier with our experience and with our new home, I still can't believe that it happened so fast and so seamless! We highly recommend Bryan and the Nicholas Ryan Team! Thank you for the amazing home, it is our dream come true! read more

Hired Edward Henderson, with Exit, to sell a property. At first he seemed reliable, but as soon as I signed the contract he just wanted to push me to sell. He grabbed an unusual 4% fee for himself (instead of the usual 2.5%), I had to do some of the showings, take pictures, deliver documents, do the final walkthrough, and deliver the keys to the title company my self (all which he should have done). In the end he made over $10,000 and did the bare minimum. I didn't even get a thank you phone call. Several months later I received a call from the realty saying they wanted to send me a "thank you" gift, but needless to say I never received anything. I wouldn't do business with him or this realty agency. Save your money and time. read more

My husband and I worked with Bryan Luna to find our beautiful first home in the Hermosa neighborhood! First of all, Bryan is beyond knowledgable about the market, neighborhoods in Chicago, and working with other listing agents. Bryan worked gracefully yet persistently with the listing agent for our new home that was, in simple terms, very difficult to work with. In the end, Bryan managed to help us get our beautiful first home, answered every single question along the way (as first time home buyers, we needed a lot of guidance!), and was/is constantly available for us. We are very thankful for his hard work and will continue to recommend him to friends and use him in all real estate transactions in the future! read more

We couldn't be happier with the services provided by Mr. Cyrus Alexander Moslemi of the Nicholas Ryan Team. We contacted Cyrus by chance (via the internet) because we were interested in touring a two-flat home we saw listed. Cyrus spent a huge amount of his time working with my wife and I, as if we were his only clients. We were unfamiliar with the many nuances associated with selling our condo and pursuing a multi-unit property...things have changed considerably in the past 20 years. Cyrus patiently explained every detail to us. He provided helpful information and referred us to two experts for financial (Kiki Calumet) and legal (Michael Settani) concerns, and they too proved to be top-notch in every respect. Although it took about a week for our offer to be accepted, the seller "terminated" our offer while under a prolonged attorney review. Our attorney (and Cyrus) had informed us that both the seller's agent and attorney were dumbfounded by the seller's erratic behavior. We were demoralized, and Cyrus informed us that he would find us a better property. This seemed like a consoling gesture and professional courtesy at the time because we had our hearts set on this property. However, Cyrus found a few alternatives that we semi-reluctantly agreed to check out because we felt pretty certain nothing of great interest would be available in the near future. We were wrong. We looked at a few properties and found a single-family home that was beyond belief. It was a very hot property and following Cyrus's lead our offer was accepted. Our financer (recommended by Cyrus) was spot-on, easy to work with, got us the absolute best rate, and we closed without a hitch. In terms of our condo, Cyrus and one of his team members helped us stage it for show. We received two solid offers, went under contract in two weeks, and closed within 5 weeks. Several comparable condos in our area were still on the market by the time we closed. In addition, Cyrus was brilliant in helping us understand and benefit from financing options we hadn't considered. And he was quite patient with our need to revisit the numbers from time to time as this was unfamiliar territory for us. Investing in a property that is worth more than double the value of our current condo is scary to say the least and we probably would not have gone forward without Cyrus' information and insights. But we're sure glad we did. Overall, we have worked with agents in the past, and although they were pretty good, they weren't Cyrus-level. Cyrus is highly knowledgeable, informative, personable, communicative, consistent with updates, accessible, and innovative. Thus, we highly recommend Cyrus without any reservation and we will not hesitate to contact him in the future. read more

My fiance and I found the Nicholas Ryan Team on Zillow and were connected to Natasha who got us out touring homes right away. We are first time buyers and she explained the process and held our hands even when we wanted to give up looking in this crazy sellers market. Location was very important for us and all the homes we liked had multiple offers within the first couple of days. Natasha made house hunting a fun adventure and we enjoyed the variety of homes she showed us. We originally wanted a 3BD to have extra space to work from home and for our family but would have been ok with a 2BD. Natasha found us a great 3BD in the heart of Andersonville! We are so excited to finally being able to stop paying rent! We are even more excited to have a home that we can make our own, especially as we combine our families together as we plan our wedding! Natasha was extremely helpful throughout the process and we are appreciative we have a Realtor who knows the ropes! We would highly recommend her and the Nicholas Ryan Team! read more

'We learned about the Nicholas Ryan Team from our neighbors, who were also selling and spoke very highly of Christen! We'd outgrown our space and had already bought a house in the suburbs, making selling our condo a must for our family. Working with Christen and leaning on her expertise helped us feel confident in navigating through this market. Christen made plenty of space for our thoughts and priorities but was there with rock-solid advice whenever we needed it. Our transaction was so smooth and seamless, and Christen was right at every decision point. She sold our home for list price in the off market in the midst of a pandemic!' read more

I'm a repeat client to the Nicholas Ryan Team. I had such an amazing experience my first time that I decided to contact them again. I met Veronica Jacobo virtually in the summer. I had decided to either move to a single-family home, or a townhouse, yet I was not sure about location. Veronica however, helped me narrow it down and was so patient with me. Even with COVID-19, Veronica really made me feel safe with procedures and the use of gloves, booties and reminded me about my mask for all our showings. She was so knowledgeable (I learned a lot!) and negotiated a great single-family home for me in the Bridgeport neighborhood. It was important for me and my dog, Romeo, to have a gated front and back yard, along with feeling secure in the area. Veronica answered all my questions and assisted with research. She was so responsive, friendly and fun to work with, which was just a bonus!!! I would highly recommend her and The Nicholas Ryan Team!" I will come back time and time again and always, recommend Veronica and the NRT to anyone I know looking for an A+ customer experience. read more

"The Nicholas Ryan Team went above and beyond to sell our home! Christen was communicative throughout the process, keeping us well-informed the whole way. Christen and the team guided us to the point that we ended up in a multiple offer situation utilizing a reverse offer strategy - and this in December during a pandemic! Robert, their transaction coordinator, made the transaction smooth and seamless. In the end, we found the perfect buyer for our home. The level of service from Christen and the team exceeded my expectations, and we highly recommend working with Christen and the Nicholas Ryan Team!" read more

About 4 years ago I worked directly with Nick to purchase my condo, he was super responsive, friendly, and educated me throughout the entire process. This summer (2021) when my fiancé and I were looking to sell that condo and find a fixer upper I decided to reach out to Nick again. This time he set us up with Christen for the sale of our condo and Cyrus to help us find a place. We met with them a couple times and sorted out the details of working together. They were personable, respectful and accommodating to our needs so we were confident we would be in good hands. Christen executed the sale of our condo quickly and coordinated showings to fit my schedule. Within no time she'd found us a cash buyer and was able to negotiate us leasing from that buyer an extra two months. During this time Cyrus was working on finding homes to show us. On our first trip out we fell in love with the first home we saw. We put an offer on it two days later with his and our attorneys assistance and it was accepted a day later. The process from there became very complex (because of issues that were on the sellers side) but Cyrus guided us through the entire thing. He was always available for us to vent to, encouraging, positive and kept our focus. He even sat through our entire 7.5 hour closing with us. He and Christen have both followed up with us multiple times since the sale/purchase to see how we're doing with the reno. No matter the state of the market, finding relators as trustworthy, genuine and caring as the two of them is invaluable. We will absolutely use them again in the future and will recommend them to anyone who asks. read more

Nick and his team helped us to sell our condo in one week for 100% of the list price! He then helped us to win a bidding war for our dream house which is a historic mansion on a double lot! We highly recommend the Nicholas Ryan Team! read more

I was connected to the Nicholas Ryan Team through Redfin and met with Natasha. My goal was to buy a home as close as possible to Lake Michigan and we started focusing on Edgewater. In the summer of 2020 we found a building I fell in love with, which has private beach access for residents of that condo building only. Natasha reached out to numerous owners in the building, but no one wanted to sell. She stayed focused on my goal and as soon as she found out a unit was in the off-market in that building, she contacted me and we developed our strategy. This is a highly sought-after building and owners rarely sell. We put in an offer site-unseen, however, the seller demanded he be on the market for 1 week before looking at offers and let us know he was looking for a cash deal. Natasha got us in to view the home a day earlier than expected. She was relentless with her negotiating, even through a multiple offer situation which involved cash deals. She came up with several techniques to make our offer stand-out and even got inside the head of another agent we were competing against who had a cash buyer. I have been saving up for a long time to make this dream happen and Natasha knows how bad I want to be in this building. When I got the call from her saying we won over several offers, and several of them being cash, I was in disbelief! My dream is finally coming true to live on the lake in Edgewater and my home even has the southern exposure I longed for! I would highly recommend Natasha and the Nicholas Ryan Team. read more

Nick and his entire team were extremely helpful and patient with me, a first time home buyer, and my unique needs and unusual situation. This required a lot of extra work that was new to some of the people involved. Julian, Alexis, Natasha, and the adjunct attorney and mortgage brokers went above and beyond to help us purchase our dream home. They were very organized and directed, and I learned a lot, and had the best experience possible. read more

We found the Nicholas Ryan Team through Zillow after looking at their successful track record in the South Loop. They have a unique approach to selling includes an interior coach for staging and custom HGTV-style video. Nick and his team were able to create enough demand to drive 30 people to the first open house, and we got multiple offers. We went under contract for 10k over asking price and would highly recommend their team. read more

"A few years ago, I rented a studio Natasha had listed.   She called me when she found out I was not going to be renewing my lease.  I told her I was looking to buy as soon as I proposed to my future wife.  2 weeks after we had that conversation, Natasha met us to take down our exact buying criteria.  We were out touring home the very next day and by the end of the week, we were under contract!  We did not expect to find our home so fast nor the process be so easy.  Natasha found us an amazing North Center timber loft penthouse with exposed brick, city views and even a rooftop!  We didn't even know this building existed!  She found it in the off-market, and got us in the first day of showings.  We fell in love with our new home's unique style, as it's exactly what we had envisioned!  We are so excited to move into our first home together as we start planning our wedding!  We would highly recommend Natasha & the Nicholas Ryan Team!" read more

My partner and I went with one of their buyer agents and had an okay experience. They promised us a "luxury experience" where they would pay for a massage and dinner if we ended up purchasing a home. After a few months of searching and viewing we did buy a home and we paid them about $6000 as a percentage of the final home price for their services per their contract. They gave us a $50 gift card that works with only a handful of mediocre (mostly chain) restaurants in Chicago. Their agent gave vague answers, sometimes just flat out wrong answers (that were later corrected by our attorney), to specific questions about clauses in the buyer contract. They also made multiple mistakes in the buyer contract, including not checking boxes that should have been checked and calculating the wrong total amount of earnest money, which worked against us in the negotiations with the seller. They also submitted a higher offer to the seller agent than we had agreed upon in a phone call with them moments earlier. We certainly didn't feel like they were representing our interests well. The only thing they did well was regularly send us homes that fit our search criteria. Overall We would not recommend them to represent other prospective buyers. read more

I am a repeat client of the Nicholas Ryan Team. Nick listed my home, got us multiple offers, and sold our home for 25k above the asking price in under a week! read more
