| "Jill was terrific to work with and I would not hesitate to get her assistance in the future or to recommend her to a friend. We had a tough challenge shopping for a condo in the Chicago loop while living overseas. Jill took on the challenge with energy and a positive attitude. We arrived at Christmas to find an organized schedule with units that made sense for our needs. We ended up buying one of the first we viewed. Jill happily arranged second viewings. She shared her thoughts on our options with candor but without being pushy. She was always available despite our time zone differences. And she helped us understand the process as our offer became a contract became a loan. She was great." kendrick blackwood 801 South Plymouth Court Chicago IL, 60605 |

"This was our first experience using a realtor to find a home. Jill was INCREDIBLE! We were newbies and had all the possible newbie questions you could think of. She was patient, quick responding, knowledgeable, and truly found us the best home possible! I will use Jill for every home I purchase in the future."
★★★★★
"Jill was very knowledgeable and supportive right from the start. This was my first home buying experience, and Jill made it fun and enjoyable. She went above and beyond just to make sure that I was happy. I would highly recommend Jill for any of your real estate needs."
★★★★★
"Jill took the time to listen to exactly what I was looking for and then come up with several houses that fit our needs. Once we found a house, she helped make sure everything stayed on track and was always available to get the information I needed."
★★★★★
"Jill is a very caring, considerate, and hard worker. We had tenants for our home in about 2 weeks! We were so comfortable working with her, she always followed up to our questions, and asked if it was a good time to talk when she called. Jill always went the extra mile by passing out flyers everywhere she could, she placed a mum and pumpkin on the porch to spruce it up, and she offered to check on house after showings (since it was vacant). Jill was honest and quickly gets to know her clients on a personal level. She has great tips on how to stage your home and does her research. Jill let us know with our circumstance that holding off to sell would pay off later, so we rented out our home. My husband and I highly recommend Jill as a realtor. We really enjoyed working with her!"

"Jill was helping myself and my family find a rental home. We were accepted for the first house we applied for. We were very happy. We signed the lease, but at the last minute the owner backed out because of some personal issues of mine. So we applied for another house and were denied because of these personal issues. So I decided to not waste anymore of Jill's time and we ended our search. I had to resolve these issues before we could move forward. Jill was very professional at all times. She had a genuine interest in helping us in our search. She was very prompt in any of our correspondences. And she did it all with a smile. I highly recommend her to anyone."
