Client Testimonials
★★★★★
"Lance helped us purchase our first home 5 years ago and then expertly helped us sell this year. He knew how to prep our house, capture beautiful pictures, and hold open houses to maximize price and minimize time on the market. This was especially important to us as we had a deadline and 2 little kids which made showing the house more difficult. His experience and connections in the Chicago area helped us decide which offer was best, and we were under contract in about a week at over list price. After going under contract, everything else went smoothly up until closing and I attribute that to the expertise of our team. Everyone else we worked with in this group was wonderful as well. Lance truly understands the Chicago market and we were so grateful his leadership in this process!" - Michelle
★★★★★
"Nancy and team were great professionals to work with - they are very knowledgeable and provided tons of flexibility. After she suggested some updates and prof. photos for the unit, we started receiving a high number of leads that eventually led to a two year lease! Her team also made the overall process very smooth and seamless! We definitely recommend Nancy and team to anyone needing real estate support! Thank you!"

"Joanne is a treasure! She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home. Once we found it, she met with us every step of the way to make sure we understood all of the paperwork and process. Highly recommend."

"Cristina was super helpful, organized and responsive. She helped me find a place while I was on the process of relocating from Seattle to Chicago, showing me various listings in advance to get a better understanding of what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with the unit I ended up renting, I highly recommend her!" - Christian
★★★★★
"Laura helped us buy a new home and sell our current condo at the same time and made the entire process much less stressful. She walked us through every step of the negotiations and inspections as well as guided us as first time sellers. I would highly recommend her to anyone!" - Eileen
