Lowe Group Chicago

★★★★★
"What drew us to Jeff Lowe was his knowledge of the neighborhood. What will get me to work with Jeff again is his professionalism and the high level of service we received. Jeff offered great counsel during the entire process and allowed the pace, from pre-sale discussions to listing, to be determined on our timeline. An example of how he helped counsel us is when we first approached Jeff in the Fall about selling, we knew we didn’t want to list until after the holidays. He knew that great photos were important, so he suggested we get the photos done in the Fall and hold them until we were ready. So we did that work on his advice. Then in the dead of winter when we were ready to sell, we had these great photos of our house with flowers in bloom, green grass, bright skies - that showed how gorgeous our house was. Finally, we received a high level of attention for his whole team, oftentimes going above and beyond. " - Christine M.

"Jeff and his team were great. They took a stressful situation and certainly made it less stressful. Jeff was honest, forthright and trustworthy. After going with another broker for 6 months with nothing, Jeff came in and appropriately managed our expectations and sold our house. I HIGHLY recommend The Lowe Group and would continue to go back to them for all my real estate needs." - Sean K.

"Jeff Lowe and his team did an outstanding job selling our property. Jeff's knowledge of the market, sales plan, and execution gave us an outstanding result with limited time on the market before going under contract. Jeff's engagement and exemplary stewardship continued throughout the contract negotiation, inspections and ultimately close. My wife and I felt informed and supported throughout the process which is a testament to the professionalism and customer service orientation of Jeff Lowe and his team at the Lowe Group. We would highly recommend working with Jeff to anyone." - Mercedes C.

"My experience with Jeff Lowe and his team was stellar. I did extensive research and interviewing to find the right agent to list my property, and am the first to admit that I am not an easy person to please and tend to be very wary of real estate agents. Jeff exceeded any and all expectations. I have had less than optimal experiences in the past when selling and buying properties in Chicago, St. Louis, and Scottsdale, but Jeff made sure that history did not repeat itself. From my initial inquiry phone call to closing, Jeff consistently and honestly answered all my questions, phone calls, texts, and emails in a timely manner, as well as provided detailed and helpful guidance at every step in the process. This is due no doubt to Jeff's extensive expertise, professional integrity, and in-depth knowledge of the market in my neighborhood. Unlike many real estate agents I've encountered, Jeff does not take a "churn-and-burn" approach to selling a property in order to pad his sales statistics. Rather he puts very careful time and thought into making market readiness recommendations specific to my property and potential buyer demographic, determining the optimal list price by going beyond Zillow "Zestimates" or merely pulling up online comps, then developing an individualized marketing strategy that capitalizes on his online presence on a variety of appropriate platforms (not just throwing something up on the MLS), making best use of print materials, scheduling showings that highlighted the best features of my property and neighborhood, and then using his personal network with other agents and previous clients to line up serious buyers who are already pre-approved for financing. As a result, within 24 hours of my house going on the market, there was a three-way bidding war and a two days later I accepted a contract that came in over list price. During the negotiation and attorney review phases, Jeff made sure to advocate for me and negotiate in a fair but firm manner with the buyers and their agent. In fact, the real estate attorney whom Jeff recommended to me mentioned several times how impressed she is with Jeff and his team, and specifically noted that, unlike many agents with whom she works, Jeff does not disappear once a contract is signed. Anyone who is fortunate enough to choose Jeff Lowe to help them sell or buy a property will be delighted with the outcome." - Claire H.

"Jen at the Lowe Group is fantastic! We worked with Jen, who works on Jeff's team, on the purchase of our condo about two years ago and more recently on the sale of that condo and the purchase of a single family home and could not be happier! Jen is such a warm, thoughtful person and works incredibly hard to ensure that her clients are happy. She was also great at providing us guidance during the negotiation process on both our sale and purchase which was hugely helpful. On the purchase side, Jen was incredibly patient as we worked through changes to our criteria and timeline a number of times, was always available to show us properties (even working around our terrible work schedules) and helped us find a home we absolutely love. She gave us a lot of insights into the homes we saw that we would have never thought of on our own. On the sale of our condo, Jen gave us great guidance on getting our place ready to put on the market and she sold it the first day it was on the market for a fantastic price. It was such an easy process with her guidance - we feel so lucky. We can't say enough great things about Jen and the Lowe Group - although we hope we stay in our current home for a while because we love it so much, we know that when the time is right we'll definitely be working with Jen again!" - Katharine H.

"Jeff helped our best friends sell their townhouse and buy a house and loved their experience. So when we decided we wanted to move, we contacted Jeff. My wife and I have owned and lived in several houses in CA, MI and IL, and Jeff is the best real estate agent we've used. Not only did he sell our condo in 4 days (and got us more than our asking price!), but he helped us quickly find our dream home. Throughout the process, Jeff was ALWAYS available and patient and professional. We never felt hurried or rushed like we have with some other agents in the past. And when we wanted his professional opinion about some renovations we were considering, Jeff cheerfully stopped by to lend his (very helpful, it turns out) advice. This was even though we have no plans of moving. He's super knowledgeable about the Chicago market, fights for his clients and is always cheerful and professional. Based on our experiences with him and his team, I'd recommend the Lowe Group to anyone looking for a top notch real estate firm in Chicago." - Andy J.

"Jeff is great. He knows everything about the city neighborhoods (particularly LP, LV and OT). We'd be interested in one house here or another there, and he'd immediately say things like, "that backs up to a bar; it's best to steer clear" or "great street with a park at the end." He really knows his stuff. We put in our first bid on Mother's Day. He took time to discuss the offer/negotiation and walk us through the process (apologies to your family, Jeff!). When we didn't get that house, he moved quickly to identify another one that we loved. It had just hit the market (no pictures posted or anything)...he got us in and worked really aggressively to submit an offer ASAP. We got the house and couldn't have been happier with our experience!" - Megan W.

"I was referred to the Lowe Group from a fellow co-worker who recently used them to sell a home in Chicago. We did interview a few agents to ensure we chose the right one to work with in selling our condo. Throughout the interview process, Jeff and Jen definitely stood out well ahead of the others. Although we had tenants in the property and lived out of state, Jeff and Jen did not hesitate to take on the listing. Realtors usually want the easiest path possible toward getting the home sold and we had one other realtor who wanted the tenant out and the unit staged in order to sell it. Jeff and Jen's willingness to take on the additional burden of having the tenant in the unit definitely paid off in much less carrying costs for us in the long run. During the selling process, Jen did a great job working with the tenant to schedule showings and ensure that potential buyers could see the unit. She also went above and beyond the call of duty helping to clear up an inspection item that came up. In the end, we ended up selling our unit for 99% of list price within 4 days of listing and the process through close was flawless. If you are looking for a team that knows the market and how to get a home sold, I would highly recommend using the Lowe Group. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to use them again if I still lived in the area." - Jon W.

"We worked with Lindsay and Jeff on both selling our condo and buying a single family house. He and his team were exactly what we needed.....Someone who is an expert in the city, knew the market inside and out and an excellent negotiator. I would ask about any house on the market and he knew the floor plan, all the ins and outs of each house and why it would or wouldn't be good to take a look at. Jeff was always prompt, courteous and professional. I was so pleased with all the marketing they did to sell our place, really first class. We sold our condo quickly which I attribute to his expertise and professionalism to get a deal done. Finding the right home in our price range and desired location was the really challenging part. Jeff & Lindsay were very patient and helpful and knew once we found "the one" We were skeptical as it needed a lot of work. Not only did Jeff advise us on how we could update the property to increase the value but continued to be a great resource for any type of questions we had or referrals for contractors or trades people that we needed for months after we closed. We know several other families who have worked with Jeff and have been extremely pleased. We highly recommend Jeff, Lindsay and his whole team and will definitely use him again when we move again!" - Rob P.
★★★★★
"We worked with Lindsay on Jeff's team for the purchase of our first condo. Not only was Lindsay extremely professional and ridiculously knowledgeable, she was super nice - even to first-time buyers who peppered her with way too many questions! Jeff made sure we knew he was involved during the process and we felt very supported by The Lowe Group. We look forward to referring them to friends!" - Allison P.
★★★★★
"Jeff helped my husband and I purchase a two-flat, sell a two-flat, and sell a condo. On the sale side, he set our expectations appropriately, marketed the properties very well, generated a lot of traffic to showings and delivered very good results. When he was my buyer's agent, he knew the properties better than the broker's who listed the property. I recommend Jeff and his team to all my friends and family." - Anne D.
★★★★★
"Joy was wonderful to work with- she really understand what I was looking for and was able to focus our search accordingly. She did not waste my time bringing me to places that would not fit my needs. She also helped me tremendously through the whole negotiation process, giving me sound advice even if it meant that the deal would not happen. I appreciate her honesty in all of our conversations." - Deborah L.

"Jeff is a fantastic broker. We worked with him for the past few years as we were looking for a new home. He is extremely knowledgeable in the market. He really understand our needs and was very focused on finding a house that fit our style & interest. Jeff worked really hard for us and managed the process extremely well. We have recommended Jeff to other friends who have bought / sold homes with him. I would highly recommend Jeff and his team for buying or selling a home." - Iris D.

"When my tenants told me that they would not be renewing the lease on my condo, I knew that the time had come to sell. I had met Jeff during a previous house cycle and had watched his presence (and success!) grow over the years and knew that I wanted to draw upon his services to help sell my property. And what a great decision that proved to be! We met at my condo to look over the property and Jeff quickly identified its pros and cons (including some prescient comments re likely sticking points with my buyers) and we then reviewed a portfolio of sales, pendings and actives to arrive at an agreed upon asking price. I had done my own homework and was pleased to see that Jeff's information was complete and we quickly agreed on an asking price. From that day forward, Jeff and a member of his Group (Josh Feeney) stayed in regular contact with me. Amazingly, within 1 1/2 days of listing, my condo sold. The price was where I wanted to be and reflected Jeff's astute negotiations in holding our ground on a final price. For anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago, I would recommend Jeff without hesitation!" - Anonymous

"Jeff Lowe provided my wife and I with excellent advice and recommendations while we were in the process of selling our house in Lincoln Park. He provided us with an extensive and comprehensive market analysis of comparable properties in our neighborhood, which enabled us to determine the correct price to sell our house. We would recommend Jeff and his team to anyone interested in buying or selling residential properties in Chicago" - John M.
