"We had an absolutely exceptional experience working with Aaron Masliansky to sell our
home in the Ravinia neighborhood of Highland Park. From start to finish, Aaron went
above and beyond to ensure the entire process was smooth, professional, and
successful. He handled everything with care and precision ā from organizing
professional photography and stunning video tours, to hosting well-attended open
houses that really showcased our home. Aaronās marketing strategy was spot-on, and
he made sure our listing stood out in a competitive market. What really impressed us
was how involved and communicative Aaron was throughout every step. He was always
available to answer questions, offer guidance, and explain the process in a clear and
thoughtful way. His knowledge of the local market, especially Ravinia, made a big
difference and gave us confidence every step of the way. Selling a home can be
stressful, but with Aaron on our side, we felt supported and informed the entire time.
Weāre incredibly grateful for his hard work, professionalism, and genuine care ā and we
would highly recommend Aaron Masliansky to anyone looking to buy or sell in Highland
Park or beyond." - Rani and Ben Nolan
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Can't say enough great things about Aaron. He was empathetic and guided us through
the whole home-buying process with care and compassion. We'll definitely call on him in
the future!
" - Darrell Cohn and Leah Kahn
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron was a pleasure to work with. He was always available to answer my questions
and helped me through every step of the process buying a condo. I highly recommend
him." - -Gary Kramer
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron and his entire team were extremely responsive and proactive. We had an
extremely tight turnaround and they met every deadline and expectation. We've had
several rental properties and primary homes and Aaron and his team are the best we've
worked with. Aaron always goes out of his way and above and beyond to make sure
everything is taken care of even if itās not his direct responsibility." -Tony and Thera Messina
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"I don't think you could ask for a better Real Estate team. Aaron was always prompt to
respond to all communications, and was always available for phone calls, even when he
was out of town and at night. He always found time to visit a listing with us as soon as it
became available on the private market, so we were always among the first people to
view a home. He was a fountain of knowledge, whether about the neighborhood we
were looking at or information about the house. He seemed to know everything about
homes and would be able to point out positives or negatives about a home that wouldn't
have appeared on the listing itself, or that the seller's realtor didn't seem to know about.
He struck the right balance between giving guidance and knowing how to ask the right
questions during a showing, but he wasn't at all pushy - it was so clear he wanted us to
find the right house for us. Because we have young kids, sometimes my wife and I
would have to visit a house separately, and he had no problem going with both of us
individually and seeing the same house twice. He also had great recommendations for a
lawyer and mortgage team. He went above and beyond in so many ways, and we are
incredibly grateful for his hard work. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, he's your
guy.." - Aaron Lawee and Sara Sirota

ā
"As a first time home buyer I was really uneasy with the process. Knowing that this is the
single most important purchase I'm making, I knew I had a lot of questions going in and
wanted to make sure I'm well informed. I had worked with other agents before, but I
thought they were not very informative and as attentive as I'd like. After asking my
broker for a different agent, Aaron was referred to me. I thought he was personable and
took the time to answer my questions in such a way that it wasn't intimidating and easy
for me to understand. In buying a home, there's so many moving parts that at times
make it very frustrating. However, having Aaron (and his team- including my lawyer,
Jennifer) was probably the biggest assets I had working on my side. I could not be more
thankful and appreciative of their service for me throughout this whole experience. I
have nothing but high commendation for Aaron and his team." - Dave Barrido
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"I recently worked with Aaron on the sale of my condo after moving out of state. Aaron
really went above and beyond to get the deal over the finish line. He coordinated
necessary repair work in the unit, navigated challenges as they developed in a manner
that was both calm and efficient, and kept me in the loop at every stage in the process. I
highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Chicagoland area. " - Tzivia Masliansky (My Sister)
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron Masliansky and his team managed the sale of my home. He explained what he
planned to for this sale. He did a beautiful job of clearing up the house to show the best
presentation so people could imagine how well they could live there. The house sold
quickly with no problems. He kept in informed on what he was doing and what items I
needed to do for the sale." - Rich Newman
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Our RE journey with Aaron began about 5 years ago, while we were looking for
properties whilst living abroad. It was definitely not a straight and easy path to finding
what we wanted (we changed our mind a few times!) but Aaron was such a standup guy
and stuck with us through the whole process. He was very thorough and always there to
answer our questions. After what was arguably the longest journey to homeownership
possible, Aaron and his team made it happen! Thank you Aaron, for sticking with us and
helping us find our first place :)" - Melissa Serrano
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Hi I recently worked with Aaron Masliansky. He is personable and professional. He was
there assisting me every step of the process. I highly recommend him for your real
estate needs. I give him 5 stars." - Joanne Kestenbaum
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"This is the third house we have purchased, and we have never had a realtor who
worked as hard or was as knowledgeable as Aaron. We had some challenges before
we finally found the right house. Aaron kept us calm and dealt with our frustration like a
real professional. We were out of town, and Aaron made videos of all the houses we
were interested in. Ultimately, even though the market was very hot, Aaron insisted that
we make an offer that was almost 30k below the listing price for the house that we
ultimately bought, and that offer was accepted. He really understands the local market.
Each time I came into Chicago, I learned more about the community as Aaron narrated
interesting aspects based on his long history growing up in the area. Aaron also knows
a huge amount about how houses work and explained all kinds of little details that one
would expect from a home inspector, not from a realtor. Aaron is extremely personable
and has great relationships with the other professionals we needed to work with like our
mortgage broker and real estate attorney, which smoothed out the process. He also has
great relationships with the other realtors representing the sellers, which also made
things go well. I can't give anything but the very strongest recommendation to Aaron
Masliansky." - Jeff and Miriam Spitzer
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"I worked with Aaron on the purchase of a condo in south Evanston. Five star service ā
he helped me find just what I was looking for, and provided recommendations for
financing and legal work. Very efficient process from start to finish." - Len Joy
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"We met Aaron while accompanying our daughter and her husband to the showing when
they purchased their first house. We were all impressed with his professionalism and
respectful attitude. Therefore, we reached out to him when we needed an agent to
assist us in purchasing a condo. His wealth of knowledge of the local real estate market
and expertise to quantify the value of the properties greatly helped us navigate the
negotiation process efficiently and smoothly. In addition, he was very committed to
assist us every step of the way through the entire process. We were often amazed with
his swift responses and valuable insights. Thank you, Aaron, for your superb work and
relentless support to help us get our condo." - Jion and John Yen
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron was very helpful, encouraging and answered all my concerns quickly. He was
very reassuring during the sale. I highly recommend Aaron.." - Barry Cooperman
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron helped both myself and my daughterās family find new homes. We both moved to
Chicago from out of town and knew very little about the area. Aaron is a fantastic
resource and very knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods of the North Shore. He
understood construction and how to gauge the quality of a home. This was so helpful as
he was an excellent guide in understanding the infrastructure of the houses I was
looking at. I wasnāt an easy-to-please customer, and Aaron showed incredible patience
and understanding of my needs. He was very accommodating with my schedule which
was so helpful I canāt say enough great things about my experience. I wouldnāt hesitate
to recommend Aaron to anyone selling or buying a home!." - Robin Shaw
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Jamie was referred to me by a dear friend and frankly she saved the day. I needed to find a home sight unseen...I was in Boston and my new home was going to be in Chicago. After our first conversation two things were clear: 1. She was going to find me my dream apartment and 2. I wanted to be friends with her. She moved quickly, was transparent and honest, and worked with my schedule. At no point did I feel obligated to hurry up and pick a place I didn't love. And when we found one I did love...she worked incredibly hard to ensure I got it. I'm now living in my dream place and I genuinely wouldn't be here without her expertise. She knows Chicago SO WELL! I'd highly recommend Jamie to truly anyone!" - L.W.

profitable sale." - Helene Lerner
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"This is the second house Iāve purchased with Aaron and I cannot recommend him highly
enough. In addition to being a close friend, Aaron is an exceptional real estate agent.
His commitment, expertise, and personalized approach made my recent home
purchase a smooth and minimally-stressful experience. From the initial stages to
closing, his professionalism and proactive communication were outstanding. He clearly
understood our needs and helped us find and close the perfect property. I am grateful
for their reliability and trustworthiness, and I confidently recommend them to anyone
seeking a skilled, professional, and committed real estate professional." - Eric and Naomi Sugar
ā
ā
ā

"We just closed on the house that Aaron helped us purchase and we are delighted to
recommend him! From the moment we started working with him, Aaron was incredible
organized and proactive. His pleasant and professional demeanor made the house
hunting process enjoyable; anytime we were together or on the phone, Aaron gave us
his undivided attention and made us feel like his most valued client. Furthermore, he is
incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the real estate market and the area. We
felt like we were in such competent hands having him negotiate on our behalf. And
thanks to his advice, we are finally home!." - Jessica Gerber
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron is an amazing agent to work with! Weāve worked with quite a few agents over the
years & Aaron is by far the best weāve worked with & we will definitely work with him
again in the future. He is really knowledgeable and does a nice job of sharing &
applying that knowledge to help you buy or sell your home. He did a great job of
marketing our property including professional photos, 360 tour, brochures and hosted
several open houses which ultimately attracted the buyer that bought our unit. His
communication is timely & clear & he has a great team supporting him which made the
whole process very seamless. Aaron is a great person ā personally & professionally. He
is kind, empathetic & you can tell that he always tries to do what it takes to get the best
results for his clients. Outside of real estate, Aaron is very involved in his community &
giving back. He has also built a great community & network of like-minded individuals
through his work on the Skevanston podcast & community. We canāt recommend Aaron
enough!" - Anthony and Thera Messina

ā
ā

ā
"We knew Aaron would be a great agent since he came highly recommended to us. He
met and exceeded our expectations. As first-time homebuyers, Aaron patiently walked
us through the process and listened to us to pinpoint exactly what we were looking for in
a home. He was quick to get more information about listings and always followed up
promptly to our questions. We knew he was looking out for us every step of the way,
and now we are so happy in our new home!" - Nathan and Marci Kramer
ā
ā
ā

āWe have such a good realtor!ā" - Juan and Sara Noda
ā
ā
ā

"What a pleasure it was to work with Aaron. He responded promptly, from our first email
inquiring about starting a condo search in Evanston, up to and including several
questions we had about the area after we purchased our condo and moved in. He was
always courteous, professional and personable. He was prompt and well prepared for
each meeting we had. He was extremely knowledgeable about both real estate in
general and the Evanston area in particular. We would highly recommend him to friends
and family." - Mary Kozlov
ā

He brought in a team of proās who were exceptional at their respective areas of support ā namely an inspector who helped me get to know everything I needed to know about the home and more, and an attorney who was attentive to detail, a good negotiating partner and excellent at the close. I highly recommend Aaron and appreciate his supportā¦.I thoroughly enjoyed working with you, Aaron. Thank you!" - Kevin Hinton
ā

"Working with Aaron was a fantastic. After initially speaking with him, I knew he was the right person to help me search for a home. He was very informative of the area I looking at ā Skokie. Whether it was text or email, he was quick to respond⦠very helpful for a first time buyer! No question was too small! I had some luck go my way but Aaronās guidance helped me land my home which had multiple offers. From initial bid to closing and after, Aaron was on top of contacting all parties involved to help keep things moving as smoothly as possible. Heās friendly but also a professional. Canāt recommend him enough!" - Steven Merino
ā
ā

ā
ā
"Realtor Aaron Masliansky was recommended to me by friends who valued both his experience and his qualities as a human being. He worked simultaneously with me and my daughterās family for 6 months to sell each of our houses and to find another house suitable for combining our two households. Aaron proved to be extraordinarily responsive, answering calls and e-mail messages at all times of the day and night, successfully organizing house tours on remarkably short notice, and paying careful attention to our slowly evolving notions of what we wanted. He was very patient and unfailingly good humored with our endless questions and concerns about the whole process. Intimately familiar with Chicago and its northern suburbs, he is well connected to people in the building trades and forthcoming with recommendations for service providers. The advice provided by Aaron for staging our homes proved useful, as did his marketing strategy, high production values, and negotiating skill. He truly relishes the process of getting the best price for his client, whether in buying or selling, but tempers that enthusiasm with his insight and astute observation both of current market conditions and his opponentās psychological state. Both our houses sold in a short time (one week in my case)." - Judith Karp
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron is the best of the best! Aaron was a true professional and delight to work with. He sold our house during a Pandemic and was cool, calm and collected. Aaron 100% had our best interest in mind and did everything he could to get our house sold. I wish he had known him when we bought our house five years ago. Thank you, Aaron!" - Dustin Rose
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron recently sold my daughterās condo. From start to finish I was pleased that she chose Aaron to help her on this journey. Aaron included me in all correspondence and calls at my daughterās request of course. He patiently answered every question giving his point of view, but allowing my daughter to make all decisions along the way. What I havenāt mentioned is that I was a successful realtor before I retired, although in a different country. Aaron thought of everything and Iād be pleased to recommend him should I have the chance!" - Hazel Boon
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron was great to work with, and able to adapt to the complexities of working with me while I was living overseas, and then during the first months of the pandemic. He managed the process of pre-sale renovations and kept things moving smoothly." - Miriam Boon
ā

"Aaron helped us recently find and purchase our new home! We found the house we wanted to look at while Aaron was out of the country- he was making calls and arranging showings so we could see the home right away even while he was in flight. I couldnāt be more impressed with Aaron. Buying a home can be a hectic process, but he helped us feel at ease every step of the way. Aaron was super responsive which is also very important to us. He was extremely knowledgeable and made sure to get everything done immediately for us. I would highly recommend Aaron, he is the best in the industry!" - Samantha Money

ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"I put it out there on my social media that I needed a real estate agent for my home search in Skokie and Evanston and the name that kept coming up was Aaron. From the first phone call, to the meeting, the showings, negotiations and the closing, Aaron was the consummate professional. Really 5 stars for market knowledge on Skokie and Evanston does not do him justice. He knows the community, he understands the community and he is part of the community. He was extremely responsive and did what it took to get the deal done even on a weekend after any kind of reasonable working hours. He adapted his way of handling things to fit our way of looking and buying so I am sure he is a fit for most. If you are looking to move to Skevanston, talk to Aaron. " - David Greenstien
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron could not have been kinder in walking my fiancee and I through the home-buying process. He had, or knew how to quickly find, an answer to every question we had and was relentlessly patient with us. He let us make our own decisions without imposing his will or any pressure on us, even though he knew we had a tight timeline. I work in the real estate law field and work with hundreds of agents, working with Aaron was a no-brainer for me. My fiancee and I both knew and felt like we were in good hands the whole time. Aaron is a gold standard for what real estate agents should be." - Robert Damon
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron is a fantastic real estate agent. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, hard working and responsive, and is always enjoyable to interact with.

I wouldnāt hesitate to recommend him as an agent." - Aaron Wertheimer
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron was very receptive to our needs and budget and worked with us to get the house we were looking for. He was very helpful explaining the process, taking time to assist with issues and basic steps that were unfamiliar to us. Had a very professional but friendly attitude and worked well with us and the sellers team." - Michael Friedman
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron is a top notch realtor. He knows the market inside and out, made our search a priority, was an expert on everything from the smallest detail to the larger picture and served as our advocate. He also has a really nice way about him and gets the job done while getting along well with everyone. I felt like I was in good hands through the whole process and in the end, he helped us find the perfect home for us. I strongly recommend him." - Abby Pickus
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron did a fantastic job to help us sell our condo. He knows the market very well and knows about the building. He was very quick and very patient to help us with the process. He not only guided us what needs to be done also provided a lot of resources to make sure things are done on time. We couldnāt have close the deal without his help. " - Jenny Yang

ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"In a nutshell, Aaron provided me with top notch service in selling my condo in Evanston and I would recommend his services to anyone. It was a very complex transaction due to the existence of potential issues with the initial design of the building, and an ongoing lawsuit between the condo association and the developer. Aaron was extremely prompt and knowledgeable in addressing any questions I had; seamlessly worked with the buyerās agents, the attorneys, and other parties; and provided excellent and honest advice. He made what could have been a stressful and frustrating process a pleasant experience." - David Gal

ā

ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"I am a licensed agent and I decided to move my family from Chicago to San Diego. I had a beautiful home in Skokie that I needed to sell, but I knew that the home would be a challenge. The home was fully renovated and showed really well, but it was too large and updated for the neighborhood (ie. over-developed). I considered selling it myself, but also interviewed several Realtors as well. As a Realtor with 20 years of experience, I had high expectations of any Realtor that would market my personal home, and I also definitely had opinions. That would place me in the high maintenance category. During the interview process, Aaron absolutely stood out from the crowd. He is authentic, sincere, professional, and ethical. Put simply, heās a good guy. As expected, the marketing of my home was not an easy task. There were many complications and curveballs during the process. While none of the complications was of Aaronās doing, he never got tired or showed frustration in moving us along to the end line. To make it even harder, I had already moved to California and left the house empty. Aaron routinely stopped by the house to make sure that everything was ok. As I mentioned, I had very high expectations of any agent that would represent me, but Aaron blew my expectations out of the water. It is without any reservation that I recommend Aaron to market your home, whether it is a cozy condo or a luxury single family home." - Mark Goldberg
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Aaron was great from the beginning through our move. He helped us get ready for the pictures, and some of the showings. He was proactive in finding buyers for our old home, and reassuring when our sellers were being stubborn. He was even willing to show us a house after we bought our new house, just to satisfy our curiosity! I canāt say enough about how great a realtor Aaron is, and my mother was a realtor (and so were some of her friends, and her brother). He went over and above what most of them would have done." - Lauren Grodnicki
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"We used Aaron for both the sale of our home and purchase of new property. Doing those things at the same time can be a stressful ordeal but Aaron ensured that it went as smoothly as possible. He has a vast knowledge base about the industry, and is perhaps the most āup to dateā realtor that exists: he leverages all new technologies which make the process more enjoyable. Aaron is a thoughtful and hard working agent who really tries to ensure that the client is happy at the end of the day." - Brad and Shaina Sugar
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"Here are just a few adjectives and phrases that describe Aaron: Dynamic; personable; respectful; knowledgeable; professional; man of his word; keeps track of every little detail to make sure the process of selling ones; caring; makes you feel like you are a member of his family with the concern he shows. Having been a real estate broker and appraiser, I understand marketing. Gave me helpful types on preparing my home prior to listing. His market analysis was complete and accurate. The listing and advertising along with pictures was great. Aaron kept me informed on the reaction of all potential purchasers and their agents. No detail was too small or large for Aaron to handle smoothly and intelligently. I highly recommend Aaron." - Carol Tatarowicz
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"I was selling my rental property remotely, and Aaron took care of absolutely everything-from painting contractors to rug cleaners and appliance repair folks. Aaron is a realtor you can trust completely." - Cathe Kropp
ā
ā
ā
ā

"Aaron is phenomenal. He took so much time with us and really listened to our needs. He made a dream become a reality! We started looking at real estate over a year before really deciding where we wanted to live and what we could afford. Aaron was so patient with us and helped us with every step along the way! Thanks to Aaron we have our forever home." - Dafna Fink

"Aaron helped my Mom with a condo purchase in Evanston. She relocated from Vermont, so this was a huge change for her! Aaron was always available, patient, positive, and knowledgable. But more than that, he is a local person who knows and cares about the community. Heās now our friend and neighbor! He always listened to us and took every question and concern seriously. He is extremely professional, but also warm and caring. We will never hesitate to refer friends to Aaron in the future. Thank you!!" - Gretchen Oehlschlager

"Aaron is a professional and is a pleasure to deal with. He always responded to calls or emails in a very timely manner. If I wanted to see a property, he showed it to me within a day or two. He advocated on my behalf through a tough short-sale which fell through, and then his sharp eyes found issues in another contract which, thanks to him, we were able to resolve. His friendly, positive, upbeat personality despite trying circumstances are no less important than his deep knowledge of homes and neighborhoods." - Benzie Lazovsky

"Over the past year Aaron has aided me in property search. After pursing several properties on which we could not come to terms, Aaron presented me with a foreclosure he had walked through (after listening to my desires he found something that was a fit). Aaron helped me work through and negotiate with Fannie Mae to get a great deal on a property. Aaronās counsel was very valuable as he advised me of some of the pitfalls to be aware throughout the process. Last once I owned the property, Aaron helped me rent it. Let me say, having Aaron to help with the rental process was priceless." - Rob Ship

"Aaron is a great agent far beyond our expectation! We were looking for a relative small investment condo property, and did not know him before. He showed his expertise, attention to detail , flexibility and hard work that quickly built the trust. During our lengthy short sale approval process, he had been the communication lead among agents, attorneys,mortgage agents, and us. He thinks ahead and always represents in our best interests without losing fairness, which I believe rarely found and important for us, and I am quite sure for most clients as well. He is also very tech savvy, and surprised us with many new Apps and services making paperwork signing and documentations painlessly." - Yiwen Li

"As a long-time Chicago resident, Aaron was very knowledgeable of the different areas of Chicagoland. We had him looking in several different cities on the North Shore. He was also very knowledgeable of houses (i.e. If a house was built in a certain year, he knew what questions to ask to determine if the house was up to standard). Very courteous in all areas of the process." - Rani and Ben Nolan

"We had the pleasure of working with Aaron to purchase our first home. Aaron is
extremely professional and easy to work with and was by our side during the entire
process. He was constantly available to us, negotiated on our behalf, worked
seamlessly with the numerous parties involved, and always put our best interests and
needs first. His knowledge of the neighborhood was also very helpful, as it enabled us
to recognize the value of our investment. He helped us to put in a bid quickly, and we
were under contract within days. He is very talented and savvy, an absolute pleasure to
work with and we highly recommend him to others.." - Naomi and Eric Sugar
