You truly stand above the rest!

Evelyn Santiago was more than phenomenal in the work she did for me when I was looking to purchase…read moremy first home. Evelyn paid close attention to what I said I was looking for in a home. She asked the critical questions and knew more about what I would want than I did. She took it one step further to show me homes I never imagined would fit my criteria--but did AND had the "wow" factor I didn't know would be possible at my price point. Evelyn was never high pressure during the process but she gave me insightful advice that was instrumental in making me feel at ease about my decision. I was the typical first-time homebuyer in that I had an idea in my head about the value of the home I was purchasing and even got cold feet at one point. It didn't phase Evelyn; she didn't panic and try to rush me into committing. She simply pointed out the facts about the purchase and let me make the decision. I ultimately decided to purchase and Evelyn didn't stop working once the contract was signed. She was an engaged member of my team during the mortgage approval process all the way up to close. Evelyn amazed me in how easy she made the home buying process. She was so precise in narrowing down the homes to show me. We actually only viewed about 8 homes in 1 day and I ended up purchasing the first home I was shown. Despite only viewing 8 homes and the search only lasting 1 day, what I was shown encompassed what was available on the market. While I was in the process of closing, I still looked online out of curiosity and never saw a home I liked better or that I felt was a better value than what I purchased. Two months in my home and I definitely do not have buyer's remorse. The last thing I want to say about Evelyn is how personable she is! She tailored my homebuying experience to meet my needs--I don't have family close by and while I would have normally included my mother in the process it simply wasn't possible. Evelyn was so accessible and so hands on during the process that I felt as though I could ask her the questions I would have asked my mother. Evelyn made me feel like I was her only client and made up for the fact that I couldn't include my mother in the process. While looking at homes I felt like my mother was right there with me because Evelyn was just as candid as my mother would have been. When the time comes for me to purchase my next home, as long as it is in the Chicagoland area, Evelyn will be the first person I call.

A Masterclass in Incompetence and Poor Communication…read more I am writing this review to detail the profoundly unprofessional and ethically questionable conduct of real estate agent Randy Schulenburg, who represented the seller of a condo I wished to purchase. The sequence of events was as follows: My agent submitted my good-faith offer to Randy Schulenburg. The seller received our offer. Randy Schulenburg informed us that a "second offer" had materialized and instructed us to come back with our "best and final" offer by 5 PM the next day. Within less than two hours of this instruction, the property's status was changed to "Pending" on Realtor.com. Confused, my agent called Randy Schulenburg to inquire what was happening. He provided no explanation for the conflicting information but told her that we could still submit our best and final offer. We did exactly as he said and submitted an improved offer. After submitting, we heard nothing. My agent sent numerous emails asking for any update. After this period of unprofessional silence, Randy Schulenburg finally got back to her simply to state that the seller had accepted "the first offer." The complete lack of transparency is unacceptable. The entire "best and final" exercise, initiated after the property was already pending, appears to have been a complete fiction and performance art masquerading as real estate sales. The greatest indictment comes from my own agent, who stated that in her 30-year career, she had never encountered anything nearly as questionable as this. I cannot recommend Randy Schulenburg under any circumstances. My experience suggests you cannot trust the information he provides or the processes he manages. Dealing with him was a frustrating and shady experience that cost us time and emotional energy. Exercise extreme caution.

Just want to acknowledge Randy Schulenburg for who he is and how much he invests in his clients…read more If I didn't know better I'd say he thought about my situation more than I did myself! You can't fake great character. Randy displayed quality of character you can't pay for, and might I add, even when no one is looking! You will never regret having him on your team. I know I didn't.

He suggested the right listing price, advised us what to do to get it ready for sale, and helped us close the transaction (despite the buyers' loan company repeatedly dropping the ball to the extent that we were ready to move on to a new buyer, but for Charlie's calm and steady hand guiding us to be patient). The sale was quick, clean, and Charlie kept us updated and gave us valuable feedback from the open houses he personally conducted. Definitely include him in the realtor's you interview.
