"Working with Jen was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were relocating to Chicago from out of state and also buying our first home — a double whammy. Jen was very knowledgeable about the nuances of the local market, made the process so easy in terms of scheduling tours to make the most out of our visits, and was really flexible around coordinating with us across time zones. She also gave us great guidance on what to expect in the home buying process and how best to prepare. Once we found our house, she was a top notch negotiator and went above and beyond to get credits for necessary repairs. We are now happily moved in and thrilled with our purchase. If and when the time comes to move, we will definitely be working with Jen to sell our current home and buy the next one. Highly recommend her!"

"After trying to unsuccessfully market my property myself (For Sale By Owner) and then also unsuccessful with a discount broker, I finally hired a true professional - Jennifer Downey Piehl. She was remarkable every step of the way. I went from thinking I had it all figured to actually working with a local expert - WOW! The value Jennifer brought to the table was immeasurable. The phrase "you get what you pay for" never had a truer meaning. I've come to understand and appreciate that there is never an easy real estate transaction. If you're looking for a Listing Agent or Buyer agent that has integrity, poise, and a thoughtful, pragmatic, and strategic approach, consider yourself lucky to find this review and hire Jennifer immediately."

"Working with Jen was nothing short of incredible! My wife and I met Jen at an open house and we knew immediately that we wanted her to help us find our first home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and was always available by call or text to answer any questions we had throughout the process. She helped us identify strategies to make our offer more competitive and also has a great network of people that can assist with just about anything else you may need throughout the home-buying process (lawyer, inspector, lender, etc.). Highly recommend working with Jen!"

"Working with Jen was a fantastic experience! I was selling a condo that I had lived in for 14 years, so it had some wear and tear. Jen helped figure out what was needed and worked to get everything ready to sell. Once it was ready, she had some fantastic pictures prepared and put together a great open house, which led to an offer and sale. From my perspective, the whole process was fast, easy, and ended with a great result. Jen is excellent to work with and really knows what she is doing! I absolutely recommend her top-notch work!"

"We were making a move to Chicago from another city out of state, and we were so grateful for Jen’s thoroughness and expertise to help us navigate the different neighborhoods. Her recommendations in the negotiation process meant that we were able to get our house even with multiple competing offers from other buyers. We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with her."
