"“Damone was the best realtor one could wish for! He listed and sold my special home in the midst of a pandemic. The listing, pictures and marketing materials were beautiful, and he held numerous open houses welcoming potential buyers and realtors. But what made him invaluable was the ceaseless enthusiasm and professionalism with which he showed my home, his always prompt follow-up and the unwavering support and guidance throughout the process. He was always a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Damone!”" - Erica (Seller)

★★★★★
"“Damone is amazing. He came highly recommended and I see why. A great communicator and my situation warranted it as I was out of the country for a good portion of the deal. Damone kept me informed and more importantly at ease when it seemed like the deal was going to fall apart. He was proactive with reaching out to the buyers agent and didn't waver. Damone really showed me by his actions that he had my best interest at heart. Damone is professional, personable, knowledgeable and skillful in his craft. If you get an opportunity to work with him, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for everything Damone!!!”" - Aaron (Seller)

I consider Damone a friend for life!”" - Bridget (Seller)

We found my new home in less than 2 weeks. He and his team coordinated every aspect of the transaction and everything went smoothly. I recommend him to friends and family all the time.”" - Luis (Buyer)

""Damone is a superb realtor! He is the most professional, knowledgeable, dependable, always available, incredibly flexible, adaptable, supportive and pleasant person to do business with. I do not live in Chicago, and Damone was able to consider and understand my preferences and needs and found just the place I was looking for. He patiently and with a great sense of humor guided me throughout the entire process. He's the best!!"" - Jana (Buyer)

★★★★★
""Damone was the most fantastic real estate agent! We were first-time homebuyers in this crazy market and we could not have asked for a better real estate agent!! Damone is responsive, organized, helpful, and super easy to work with. We felt like he really understood what we wanted/needed in a home and we completely trusted his advice and information. He answered all of our questions and found us the best property - we can't wait to move in! He was able to recommend a great inspector and point out/suggest things on properties that we had not thought about. His advice helped us choose our forever home and helped us steer clear of homes that would not have met our needs. The advice about making reasonable offers was super helpful and his ability to work with other realtors/negotiate on our behalf was impressive. We will be highly recommending Damone to anyone looking for a realtor in the area!!"" - Alexandra (Buyer)
