She offered expert guidance in pricing the listing and negotiating with buyers. Tiffany and her team were prompt, professional, detailed and made sure the process went without a glitch. I have purchased and sold many properties before and have a lot of experience with agents and brokers. Tiffany's team is first class. They will go beyond to help complete the purchase at the best price possible. If ever I am doing a real estate transaction in the Chicago area, I would use their team over and over again.

He and the whole LAKE Group Team was incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of homeownership and took the time to explain the ins and outs of the process so we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. From our first tour through closing, he walked us through every step of the way, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood what was happening at each stage. We truly felt like we had someone in our corner throughout the entire process.

Jane provided great recommendations on what to fix and update to get faster results, and she was right on point. She's incredibly professional, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Catherine Boyle is an exceptional real estate agent, and I feel incredibly fortunate that she…read morehelped me find my first condo. She was attentive and responsive every step of the way, moving quickly to schedule viewings and making sure I never missed an opportunity. As a top-tier agent, she also has access to pocket listings and properties that may not yet be widely available. As a first-time buyer, I especially appreciated Catherine's patience and willingness to explain every step of the real estate process. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and connected me with a stellar real estate attorney and a top-notch home inspector. Catherine also brings a unique level of expertise to home evaluations. Because she comes from a family of home builders, she understands construction and knows exactly what to look for. She noticed important details that helped steer me away from properties that looked beautiful on the surface but had issues I never would have recognized on my own. When it was time to make an offer, Catherine suggested thoughtful ways to help me stand out and convince the seller that I was the right buyer. In Chicago's competitive real estate market, those small but strategic details can make all the difference--and they helped seal the sale. Catherine is kind, thorough, responsive and exceptionally knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market, pricing, construction quality and negotiation. I truly felt that I was in excellent hands throughout the entire process. You cannot go wrong with Catherine Boyle as your real estate agent. She is a true gem!

After having my prior apartment flood I decided that it was time to move. Both to be on a higher…read morefloor and to be more central in the city for my hospital rotations. As I do not know the city well I decided to get the help of professionals to help navigate the situation and ended up going with Dumas and Associates. During my apartment search I worked with Nikki and Rena, who were both incredibly helpful. They were communicative, proactive in contacting apartments I wanted to look at, and were in my corner when it came to filling out applications and other paperwork. I'm fairly certain that without their help the process of finding a new place would have been many times harder. On top of that, I found their compensation structure to be very transparent and fair. At no point was I blindsided by an unexpected fee or bill. I don't know if I'll ever be moving around the city again, but if I do I'd happily work with this group again.

Nikki helped me and my partner buy our first home. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish…read more Incredibly attentive, communicative, and motivated! She was always ready to get us in to see listings as soon as possible, helped us to get a better understanding of what we were looking for, and was there to answer any and all questions we had.

It started with an idea of how nice it would be to have a little place in the city to be close to…read moremy husband's work, the young adult sons, the action . . . and to be able to have a place to sleep, have the dog and avoid some traffic. It led me to a zoom call with Matt after watching his entertaining IG videos featuring many of the places I imagined could fit exactly what I was looking for. I was drawn to his enthusiasm and he just seemed like he was a total Chicago guy who could help me get this figured out. Turned out I was right. Matt got me lined up with just the kind of places I was looking for, was always super prompt with communication (so fast), and really seemed to know everything I wanted to know about buildings, locations, etc. This guy KNOWS Chicago! Fast forward a few months-and we have crossed the finish line, getting a cute Fulton Market place that we are now making our own. Shout out to Tyler, who met me everywhere and got me into places so I could figure out what I didn't want...what I fell in love with, and alerted me to places coming on line the minute he saw them. Always as pleasant as can be with the most positive attitude assuring me it was all going to work out! Another shout out to Jamie, who also was pleasant, communicative and even a little bit therapeutic often letting me talk her ear off probably a little longer than I needed to. Real Estate is an emotional endeavor and requires a balance of competence, patience and endurance. The Laricy team really kept me moving through it all and I am appreciative that I found this group and they accompanied us on our adventure. I will be keeping them on my list for future endeavors and I recommend them all of the way!

Matt sold our Chicago condo for over asking price with multiple offers, but that's only part of why…read moreI'd recommend him. From the moment my wife and I agreed to work with him, he owned the entire process. He also navigated some incredibly difficult negotiations involving new condo financing restrictions that could have easily derailed the sale. Here's what I really want people to know about Matt. He has a big personality, especially online. I'm sure that attracts some people and turns others away. But I wish I could shake the people who turn away. Selling your home is one of the biggest financial transactions of your life. You're not looking for a buddy. You're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and will get you the best possible outcome. Matt has more transactions than anyone in Chicago. The numbers alone should speak for themselves. When I first met with Matt, I had this grand idea of exactly when we should list our condo (4-6 months down the road). Matt politely but confidently threw that plan out the window and told us we needed to list the following weekend. It felt CRAZY at the time, but that one piece of advice made our family thousands of dollars. Matt understood exactly how the market was behaving and knew that waiting would likely cost us money. He was absolutely right. That's exactly what you want in a real estate agent. Someone who knows the market, takes ownership of the process, and isn't afraid to tell you when you're wrong. Matt did all three, and I couldn't recommend him more.

Amanda, in particular, went above and beyond with her research, insight, and professionalism. As someone who prefers to make decisions based on data and numbers, I truly appreciated how she backed every recommendation with clear market data, thoughtful analysis, and her deep veteran experience. As a first-time home seller, I never felt overwhelmed--Amanda provided clarity and guidance on everything from staging and photography to appliance updates, open houses, and negotiations. What impressed me most was her accuracy. From our very first conversation, Amanda forecasted the market conditions and likely outcomes with incredible precision--and she was spot on. The result was not only the outcome I was hoping for, but even better. Both Amanda and Katie were a pleasure to work with, and I can't recommend them highly enough.
