I hired him as…read morea property manager, and when my life situation changed and difficult decisions had to be made, he was so extremely helpful. He was compassionate, knowledgeable, and able to make my non-ideal situation go as smoothly as possible for all parties involved, and very quickly too. He is prompt at responding and good at providing relevant info in an easy-to-understand way.

When we arrived, he was a no show, did not provide our realtor with any additional information as to how to get inside the home, and when he was called, he stated how unprofessional we were. This is our first home buying experience so I'm thankful I don't have someone like him as our realtor- unfriendly, unprofessional, and unreasonable.

Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and empathetic. He was able to deftly guide us…read morethrough the process of selling our home and the absurdities of the current market to a safe landing. Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

I used this team to purchase my first home last year and couldn't be more happy with my experience…read more Jennifer showed me many different homes and pointed out what was good and bad for my particular situation and really listened to what I said I was looking for. I eventually found a place I really liked and still like and am very happy I got. The whole process was painless and Jennifer always made herself available for questions and never made me feel stupid for asking them (as a first time buyer). Great experience!

I regret using Baird and Warner! To say that my experience with this office was bad would be an…read moreunderstatement. The agent I worked with was so promising and demonstrated passion to sell my condo - in the beginning. Once it became clear that it was viewed as a burden, there was little to no interest. If the distance was too great as my condo was in Skokie, then the agent should have just told me this and we could have parted ways - no hard feelings. When I reported damages, I was told it would be considered "he said/she said," and there was little I could do. The gift card they gave me - only after repeated contacts regarding it and the damages - did not even cover the cost of the damages. And still, my agent never bothered to come out. When I requested my agent be present for the inspection, appraisal, and obviously the closing, there was always an excuse. I requested updated pictures, but ended up sending them over to the agent myself. There was to be an open house, but when I checked sites to see if it was posted, there was nothing. I could go on and on... The only positive thing I can say is that it is over, but I truly would not recommend this office to anyone!
