A+ over and over again. We initially found out about James after another realtor didn't really work…read moreout for us as we were searching for rentals. In this current housing market and economy, it's hard to find someone that isn't blinded by the almighty dollar but James was exactly that. When my fiance and I reached out to him, he answered our call and was very pleasant and kind. He asked us about our situation and was more than willing to help. His kind and compassionate nature was very evident, especially his willingness to work with the military/Veteran population. James immediately worked with us to show us rentals that he had found and was prompt in showing us rentals that we had requested. He was always available for us whenever we had any questions and his follow through and efficiency of communication is unmatched. He helped us find and secure the best rental for the best price for our family at this time. Overall, we truly enjoyed working with James and will continue to do so. His accolades within the real estate business are unrivaled and for good reason. He is THE best!! My fiance and I are looking forward to working with him again when we buy the house of our dreams. So if you're looking for a realtor who can get the job done, look no further than James Smith--he is at the top of his game, personable, kind and an excellent agent! We highly recommend him. Thank you for all that you've done for us James. We appreciate it!

What sets him apart from other agents is his consistent effort and willingness to go above and beyond for every task related to completing a successful home sale. He made the recent closing of my Lindenhurst home a lot easier on me by taking care of all the little things. He contacted repair companies, followed up on financing progress, checked buyer credit history, and various other tasks, all with a great positive attitude and timely communication. I am grateful for Jim's hard work and dedication to my sale, and I look forward to doing business with him again.

David was hands down the best real estate decision we made!!…read more My husband and I absolutely loved our 1st home and had an extremely hard time deciding whether to move or expand through a renovation. All we knew was that our growing little family needed more square footage. We were blown away from the initial consultation with David! There was no judgement from him, no pressure from him and no hassle from him. His communication is open and honest and his insight and advice was always on point. He really listens to you and really cares. He helped us sell our home AND purchase our new home all at the same time. His experience gave him first rate knowledge about the market; making his negotiating skills top notch! His responsiveness gave us the communication we needed to never feel like we were "in the dark" with selling or buying. His professionalism and transparency truly made us feel at ease during the whole process. His humor was much needed during such a high stressful period! What could have been a stressful process (a quick month turnaround of selling & buying) was actually a smooth transition with David championing us throughout the entire journey. He is a rare commodity in this crazy industry!! Highly Recommend working with David on your next purchase or sell!

The Star Home Team is phenomenal! Over the years, I've…read more experienced many moves with my job. By far, the Starwalt team is the best real estate agency I've worked with. With this last move, we relocated out of town and wasn't in IL to do various activities to facilitate selling of the home.

From the beginning of the process to the end, they were attentive, prompt and customer focused. If you are in the market for a realtor, give Jim or Susan Starwalt a call. They'll take care of your needs. You will not be disappointed.

We used Nora Carrillo to help us find a home for what our family needs in summer of 2019. Before…read morechoosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the care they take into selling and finding he properties (time and effort) and how they promote their listings. Nora Carrillo stood out as one of the best in the area we were looking (IL counties, Dupage, Lake , Cook, McHenry etc.). We spoke with Nora and then met with her at our home. She spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and provided tons of info on the area. I've recommended Nora to everyone I know. She's a true professional and a genuinely nice person. Nora made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like having all the details on neighborhoods and the home itself.
