We ended up interviewing 6 of the top area producers. After careful consideration, we chose Chris Lobrillo as our listing agent. I am very impressed with Chris and how responsive he is to every text and email. They have a wonderful way of sharing feedback with clients snd the marketing photos and videos were beyond compare. My nephew said the video looked like something from HGTV. With the multitude of realtors out there, it's difficult to trust someone to be in your corner. Chris is that guy who is 100% committed to his client's needs and goes above and beyond to do all he can to make the deal happen as quickly and as painlessly as possible. He is incredibly smart and savvy. I cannot recommend him highly enough! I am not a bit surprised that they are the #1 agency in our area.

Pooja Naik - Weichert Realtors…read more We had the pleasure of working with Pooja recently when we relocated from Chicago to NYC. She was FANTASTIC from start to finish. It was a very chaotic time for us personally, but she took care of the most stress inducing aspect - selling the condo. From officially listing the place to final sale was completed in JUST a week!! She was able to get the price that I hoped for and negotiated the closing in out favor. In terms of customer service, she was always readily available and very pleasant. She went over and beyond to make sure nothing was short of great! I would highly recommend her to anyone who expects a true partner & champion!

I put my property up in the market Oct 2012 due to an agent in our building who heard that I was…read morethinking about selling. He contacted me and I told him that I am not desperate to sell and I will only sell if it hits my target which is mid 270s. He said that can be done. I was doubtful but I ended up signing up and my property was only in the market for 2 months and I canceled. At some point he was pressuring me to sell at 250 even if I told him in the beginning what my goal is. He thought I would buckle under pressure, I said no and the listing went off the market. Thank God I stayed true to what I wanted. Less than a year after, the market started to climb, someone told me that you can list in the MLS for a fee. This is really what is key when your selling, you need it to be out there for everyone to see. I started searching and I came across a few companies. My expectation was pretty clear with this approach, I pay them a flat fee, they list my property and I was on my own. I had several options but I ended up with Berg because he took time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions over the phone. There are no pitfalls with his company and there is also a money back guarantee. The whole process was a breeze and I have to say that Scott is always available to answer my questions. Many times I asked him to just charge me for consultation because I had a lot of questions but not once did he do that. Im sure at some point he was getting annoyed with my endless questions but it never showed. For less than a 300 for the flat fee, I was able to list my property in the MLS and sell it in less than a week. Saving myself almost 8K (my last realtor was going to charge me 3%, the average is 2.5). This process is not for everyone. You need to have the personality to sell and the time to do it. I am a type A kind of person, I have fired a lot of realtors because very few of them meet my standards for excellence and hard work in that field. Most of them show properties without giving attention to detail. Its all about attention to detail for me. I can do better than MOST (not all) of these realtors and I have proven that when I sold my place in a short period of time and above list price. One thing I like about signing up with Scott was that he would make his resources available to me as well. He has shared excellent resources (ie, attorney, lenders, etc). I didnt really feel on my own completely, I felt guided in some ways. Dont get me wrongl, 95% of the work was done by me but its always good to be able to consult with a professional. I will do this again and I will sign up with Berg every time I have to sell my property. Just make sure your expectations are in the right place when you do this, Scott is not your realtor so dont expect the same level of service, time and effort from him. He will just be a consultant.

The best part of all was that we were not looking to buy a $500,000 home, but she treated us as if we were. Finding our perfect starter home was just as important to her as it was to us. Wendy truly is a great person to deal with and treated us like family. When it is time to move into a large home, Wendy Pekarscik is the first person we are going to call.

After amazing experience of my brother il, we met Aaron to talk about about condo shopping in Chicago. We had a general idea of what we wanted to buy, but still were not sure about a lot of things. Aaron talked us through our options and helped us figure out how to approach. We saw quite a few places, but none of them felt right. Aaron walked us through one option and pointed out all of the little (and big) issues we hadn't noticed ourselves, which convinced us the place wasn't right for us. In another instance, he counseled patience when we liked a property but didn't love it; his sound advice not to settle for a house we didn't love proved very wise. After several months of looking, we finally found it, the house we knew was the right one almost from the moment we walked through the front door. He helped us strategize our offer, acted as a sage counselor, and made sure we made the absolute strongest offer we could make. We're happy to report our offer was accepted and we closed without a hitch. He certainly turned our first time buying into a truly awesome experience He wasn't just a real estate agent accelerating to close; he is a great friend who was guiding us toward a home we would love and enjoy for many years. All in all, Aaron is a wonderful agent and a great person. We cannot sing his praises highly enough.
