We filled out a request for a home valuation online and heard nothing so we texted and asked them to contact us. Days later still nothing. Very disappointing and unimpressed. We have already found other responsive agents so we don't need Lakes Realty Group but they certainly Re not responsive and I would recommend looking around.

I'm not even sure what to say other than Ashley the VP is beyond amazing and without her our…read moreclosing would have been an even further mess! Buying and selling a home is stressful as it is, and the last thing you need is issues at closing. Even after reviewing multiple loan documents dozens of time our loan set up was not correct which we didn't find out until we got to closing and began reveiwing them with our attorney. We thought for sure we would have to push back our closing again due to this. Ashely and her team jumped into action!!! They reached out to the loan company and worked directly with the funder to get updated and corrected paperwork sent over to her office within the hour and had the loan company wire over the balance of the funds now needed to the loan company's screw up. Our closing was only delayed by an hour or so and everything was correct and completed as it should have been the 1st time. This is not the 1st home we've sold and bought and we've had other title companies in the past and I can guarantee that NONE of the other title companies would have stepped up like this. Even though it wasn't an issue that had anything to do with Nippersink, they are the ones who took the initative to jump in and help us get it corrected. All title companies are not the same and will not go out of their way, I say this with experience. Even though we weren't near Fox Lake the few minutes extra drive to go through Nippersink was more than worth it. When buying/selling your next home, make sure you have your attorney choose Nippersink, because it's worth the peace of mind to know they will do whatever they can to make sure they help you close.

I called the office for an update on the security deposit I have yet to receive (45 days past my last day in the apartment that I left in PRISTINE condition) and I was told by the "office manager" that "this is not a productive phone call" and then they hung up on me. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS GROUP. THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. I have timestamped photo and video proof and I will not let them take what's owed to me.

Randy is 5 Stars+ in our household. We recommend him to everyone!!!…read more Randy Nosalik gets the highest recommendation I can give, from the first call to his office down to him handling a personal problem weeks after closing was over, Randy acted more like a friend than a "Salesman" . Randy handled just about everything we needed to complete our long-distance purchase. I can't imagine how we would have handled all the steps needed to make this purchase without him. P.S. Randy didn't know but while he was handling our purchase I was back in the hospital, and it was a relief to know I had him out there working for me at a time when I had much more important things to be concerned with.

Finding Whitney Wilson (of Berkshire Hathaway and Starck Realty) in 2022 was the best luck we've…read moreever had! We were in the market for our first home and I was given her name by the VP of a well respected local bank's mortgage division. From the moment we met I could tell she had a great personality and was incredibly driven - she made it clear she'd do whatever she needed to do to find us the perfect home in our price range, despite the competitive market. She made herself available for as many showings as we needed and used her network and the private MLS to eventually find us a perfect home that had not currently listed on the public market yet. With her help we were able to submit a competitive offer and secure a home well within our budget before our apartment lease was up. The sale went quickly and smoothly and she was there to guide us every step of the way, providing excellent vendor recommendations and advice. It should come as no surprise that we reached out again when we needed to sell our home after unexpectedly finding out we were pregnant in late 2024. Whitney walked us through the selling process, gave us great insight on how to maximize interest in the property and provided all the tools we needed to ensure it showed beautifully and got us top dollar. In fact, our house sold again on the private market due to her tips within just a few days of listing that it was coming soon. We credit her with helping us choose a solid house that held its resale value and even appreciated over the short time we were in it (with minimal maintenance needed.) Closing was quick and easy and I credit Whitney with making our first home purchase/sale experiences as seamless as possible. I would 1000% recommend Whitney to anyone needing a home - she is top notch and will go out of her way to advocate for her clients to ensure they get exactly what they need out of their purchase and/or sale. You're the best, Whitney! We can't thank you enough and are glad to have met you! Our housing guardian angel!

AMY PREAVES of Crystal Lake stands out as one of the very best I have ever seen. I have had the pleasure now of working with 2 of her clients, and I have to say she was just the sweetest and most hard-working realtor for both of them. She will go out of her way to make sure everything runs so smoothly. Recently, I had a problem with one of her client's garage codes not working properly. I CALLED AMY FOR HELP WITH THE CODE BUT INSTEAD SHE RAN FROM HER OFFICE TO HER HOME GRABBED ANOTHER KEY AND RAN ALL THE WAY TO HER CLIENTS HOME TO HELP IN THE MIDDLE OF HER BUSY SCHEDULE. She truly is amazing. If you're looking to sell or buy a home I would highly recommend Amy. She is absolutely amazing!!
