"Lydia is a true r/e professional - experienced, knowledgeable, accessible and reliable. Lydia flawlessly managed the sale of our home in Wilmette - pre-, active and post sale activities and communications. Thank you Lydia!" - John Angi
"Lydia came highly recommended to me and lived up to my expectations! She was thoroughly professional and responsive throughout both my home buying and selling process! Her specialty is in staging. Lydia brings not only her great eye for detail but her own stock of items to make the house show best. She pushed me (in a good way) to do things that definitely helped in my home and getting an offer quickly. She is also extremely personable and easy to work with - she makes herself available whenever needed - which is key in such a 24/7 business." - Liz
"Lydia assisted us in our home search and was beyond helpful every step of the way. Being new to the area she took extra time to get to know our family and help us determine the best fit for our needs. In the end our search lasted almost 10 months and we saw over 40 houses. Lydia was nothing but patient and helpful the entire and helped us find a great home for our growing family. Without hesitation, we would recommend Lydia to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area as her firsthand knowledge and access in the area is second-to-none." - Jim Becky
"I would highly recommend Lydia DeLeo to anyone moving to the North Shore. We moved from out of town and knew virtually nothing about the area. She was very patient with us as our moving process took months and her perseverance to find us a good house was astonishing. Her mantra through many months of house hunting was always, “Don’t worry, we will find you a house you love”. And she did! She answered her phone every single time we called and always followed up with everything very quickly. She spent endless hours going through each property’s pros and cons, resale considerations and pricing info and background. She made us feel like we were her only and most important client from the first time we met her until we closed on our house." - Jen Steve
"Lydia showed us a range of options so we could better understand the area. It was very helpful as we honed our budget and when our dream home came along we were ready to pounce on it. We ended up in a stressful bidding war and Lydia kept us excited and informed- always answering our calls or quickly following up with the other agent. I highly recommend her." - Rod Gretchen
