The Gillman Group

★★★★★
"I simply can't say enough good things about Sharon and Marissa, who helped manage the recent sale of our Chicago apartment. We looked at several agents, but Sharon and Marissa from day one went the extra mile and were clearly the right fit. They truly partnered with us, and listened to our hopes and concerns from start to finish. They got us a terrific deal, and also had a wonderful “human touch”, helping manage our natural anxieties and the ups and downs that are a normal part of going through the process of a property sale. I would recommend them without hesitation, and would certainly turn to them again if we have real estate needs in Chicago. True gems!" - Elisha W.

"Sharon and Marissa are the best! My husband and I worked with the Gillman Group for almost a year to find what will hopefully be our forever home and are very happy to have partnered with them for the journey. Three things stand out to us: geographic expertise, sound familiarity with all types of homes (and their true costs), and strong negotiation skills. Sharon is an expert on the Lincoln Park area (and surrounding neighborhoods) which was very helpful as we were set on purchasing in a specific geographic area. What I particularly appreciated was that Sharon encouraged us to see tons of homes and always made herself available when we were in town for a short visit (we moved from out of state). She helped us assess and quantify which homes needed structural and aesthetic work to understand what kind of investment we were making, and what was truly worth it (or not) for our lifestyle and preferences. Finally, when we found our home, we were able to successfully negotiate to stay within our budget (and then some). I highly recommend the Gillman Group and look forward to staying in touch with Sharon and Marissa as they are both lovely individuals as well." - Rena H.

"I can’t say enough great things about Cara as a realtor! Cara really took the time to understand my needs, listened to my wants, and guided me every step of the way with such professionalism and care. Cara went above and beyond to find me my dream apartment. She's incredibly knowledgeable and has great attention to detail. Cara truly made the process easy and enjoyable!" - Clare M.

"I can’t say enough about how easy both Sharon & Marissa made it for us while selling our home. From the pinpoint accurate pricing, to the amazing photography, to selling so quickly and bringing it all to a successful close! They had a wealth of knowledge, were always there for us, responding quickly to questions or concerns, offered great advice, and kept the process moving in a calm and steady manner. I will continue to refer Sharon, Marissa and the entire Gillman Group to everyone I know, feeling confident they, too, will be impressed and well taken care of! Can't thank them enough!" - Rita W.

★★★★★
"We couldn't have been more pleased with the very comprehensive and professional service we received from Sharon, Marissa, and the Compass team! Selling our home was a very long process, given the market conditions, and their efforts never wavered, many times going above and beyond the scope of what a typical real estate agent would do for a client. I would highly recommend Sharon and Marissa to anyone looking to sell (or buy!) a home in Chicago." - John R.

"Working with Sharon and the entire Gillman Group was such a great experience. Coming from California, we really appreciated their knowledge and expertise of the Chicago market. Sharon worked hard to get us into the perfect property. She was very responsive to our needs and wants when searching for the right neighborhood as well. We are excited to start our next chapter in Chicago thanks to Sharon and the Gillman Group." - Todd G.

★★★★★
"Sharon and Marissa were a truly phenomenal team in helping us find our dream home in Lakeview. As first time home buyers and non-natives to Chicago, their expertise on the market and overall home buying process was invaluable in our search. We were living out of state during COVID-19, and they completed numerous FaceTime / virtual tours for us, giving their honest assessments of each property we were evaluating. Once we found a spot we all were excited about, they helped us navigate a multiple offer process to land our dream condo! Many thanks to Sharon and Marissa for everything they did for us!" - Brandon D.

★★★★★
"Sharon and her team were super responsive and quick to come out and view our unique home. She appreciated the work we recently did and captured beautiful photos that resulted in our home selling for full ask the first week we put it up. We had a very fast timeline given a move, and we could not have been happier. Highly recommend!" - Matt F.

★★★★★
"Marissa and Sharon were absolutely wonderful in helping us buy our first home. We had a very short window to find a place, and they were extremely responsive and helpful with securing our home. They gave great advice, asked all the questions that we would have never known to ask, and got us a great price on our home. I would highly recommend working with them!" - Rachel S.

★★★★★
"We had a great experience with Sharon! She had a wealth of knowledge about buildings in the area we were looking. She advocated for us and guided us through the entire process from beginning to end. When there were bumps in the road, she was responsive and professional and got involved in solving the issue. I appreciated knowing I could depend on her. Sharon is a realtor I would use again and recommend to others." - Susan A.

"Marissa and the Gillman Group were absolutely fantastic to work with, and she helped us find not only our first home but our dream home. As we were first time home buyers, she walked us through the entire process and gave great advice and recommendations. I highly recommend using the Gillman Group for anyone looking for a home." - Dave C.

★★★★★
"Sharon and her team were terrific to work with. Always provided sound advice both with staging and pricing, but most importantly Sharon was patient and empathetic. We were selling through the COVID-19 summer and fall of 2020 which created all kinds of challenges and setbacks. Sharon was a calming force in a very turbulent time. Thoughtful. Proactive. And got the job done." - Hugh A.

"Sharon is a gem. I have worked with her since 2003; we have done 5 purchases and 4 sales together. I appreciate her keen sense of knowing my precise needs in a home—no wasted time! And I sleep well knowing Sharon has full command of all of each deal's complexities; she excels in getting an offer to completed contract to DONE!" - John B.

★★★★★
"We have now been through two sales and two purchases with the help of Sharon and Marissa over the last 8 years. Even when buyers have thrown us challenges, they scrambled and made sure we were able to secure another deal. We have sold for prices we never imagined possible and secured our dream home. Highly recommend! " - Alison O.

★★★★★
"Sharon Gillman helped us find our condo in Streeterville, and then helped us sell it. Her wisdom and advice were so important to our managing some bumps along the way (no fault of hers!) in getting it sold. She was responsive to all our questions and suggestions. She helped us manage from initial offer to finding a great real estate lawyer, finding people to help with everything from painting, staging, plumbing, to floors. She was always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the market, about negotiations, and about making sure we made it through to closing. I couldn't recommend her more highly." - Laura F.

★★★★★
"Sharon and Marissa were the best team I could have asked for to find a condo in Chicago! They knew the neighborhoods and market values like the back of their hands. They knew what to look for (and what to look out for) in each property we visited. They were on top of new listings, scheduled showings immediately, were detailed oriented, and asked all the right questions that I would never have thought to have asked when viewing property. I cannot recommend the Gillman Group enough! Thank you!" - Ryan T.
