Working with Cara was an incredible experience! Not only did she go out of her way to find me the perfect home, she did it with kindness, care, and compassion. It was a great relationship from start to finish, and her ecosystem of partners also made sure that I stayed engaged and knowledgeable of what was going on at each step of the way. I have nothing but good things to say about Cara and her group!

Cara Fields was absolutely wonderful throughout the process of buying our first home, a condo in Chicago. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and lent a sense of calm professionalism to what can be a very emotional journey! Her background as an architect was helpful for understanding the nuances of each place we saw, and her recommendations for inspectors and contractors were spot on - our hardwood floors look incredible, thanks to her introducing us to an amazing floor guy (Sylvania Hardwood Flooring, if you're in the market). Especially during particularly stressful periods like attorney review, Cara was willing to hop on the phone at any time and follow up with the other parties, taking the stress off our shoulders. As an added bonus, the Compass app that the Gillman Group uses is a seamless interface and allowed my husband and I to stay on track with viewings and to dos throughout the whole process, which was a welcome surprise. I wholeheartedly recommend Cara and the Gillman Group, especially for first time homebuyers." - Kelly O.
