Michael and his team were amazing to work with. Never more than 2-3 minutes to return and text, email, or call. From the beginng to the end of the transaction, they are extremely helpful. The value from user a broker like Michael or his team is unmatched! Also very good app interface/market awareness. Couldn’t recommend more.

Michael and Gordy are the best in the business! I had the honor to have been invited on their podcast 2 years ago, and when I met them, you could tell how generous and passionate they were about what they do. We kept in touch and they helped my fiancé and I buy our first house! It was a multiple offer situation, and they guided us perfectly to place a winning, and competitive offer.

Huge thanks to Michael for making our move so seamless. He is incredibly knowledgeable, quick to act, and always available to clarify even the smallest details. He truly went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. It’s rare to find an agent this reliable and dedicated—we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Michael was extremely helpful throughout our apartment search. He was very professional and always responded quickly whenever we had questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or rent in the Chicagoland area.

I had an incredible experience working with Michael and Gordy while trying to find an apartment. They were hands down the best brokers I had the pleasure of working with throughout this process. They are so responsive, attentive, informative, empathetic, action-oriented, and driven in their work! The amount of genuine care and determination the REKAP group has for their clients regardless of whether they are hoping to purchase their forever family home or just renting their first apartment is clearly evident. I definitely will be reaching out to them in the future the next time I go through this process.

Michael and Gordy were very helpful in my apartment search! They were quick to respond to my questions and were able to schedule a last minute tour when one building had canceled on the day of our tours. They also had a relationship with the leasing manager of the building I ended up going with, which was helpful in resolving an issue at move-in.

Can't recommend working with this group enough. They were professional, knowledgeable, and receptive to our needs as renters. Will absolutely work with them again in the future!
