"After several disappointing experiences with other agents, working with Sam was a breath of fresh air. He was incredibly helpful and managed to secure us a lease on an apartment that checked all our boxes—in less than a week! Sam is thorough, highly responsive, and follows through on every detail. I especially appreciated his clear and consistent communication, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He made it a priority to get us the earliest possible showing, giving us a competitive edge and allowing us to be the first to apply—ultimately leading to us signing the lease. I can't recommend him enough! A++!!"
"Sam was knowledgeable of every listing and the neighborhoods. He is very personable and easy to work with. I had no issues scheduling tours with him as he was very flexible. Great broker to work with and would recommend him to my friends and family who are looking to buy or rent.A++!!"
"Sam was a tremendous help during my apartment search in Chicago, even with the fact that I was out of state! Provided plenty of options, all within my price range and presented the locations in an efficient manner. He had extensive knowledge of the areas that made the most sense for me and provided recommendations on local spots to visit once I completed my move. Prompt responses, detailed showings, and worked around my schedule as I was only able to view apartments in person once during the process. I'd highly recommend working with him should you need an apartment in the Chicago loop area!"
"I have worked with Sam for the last two years on two rentals and it has been an absolute pleasure. His knowledge of the market as a local and commitment to securing the best possible deal has been a huge asset for me. Sam is down to earth and personable - thank you!!"

"Sam was wonderful to work with! I had several wants and needs for my family, and Sam delivered on every item. He’s super responsive, easy to talk to, and gets the job done. I’ve never met an agent who actively initiates contact with you, and Sam does just that. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. If you need someone to help you find a place to live, Sam is your guy!"
"Sam was very responsive and super helpful with finding an apartment. He accommodated busy schedules but attending showings without me present and took very in depth videos/pictures!"
"Sam did a great job of helping me find my new home. He promptly reached out to me and put together a great list of options after I gave him the criteria for what I was looking for. He was able to book showings immediately and was early to each of our showings. He diligently assisted me throughout the process from start to finish and made sure to follow up with me and ensure I was getting all the help I needed. I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking for their next home!"
"Great person! Assisted me with a lot of local problems and rental issues. He is a friendly guy and always responds me in a reasonable time. When I was not sure how can I find apartments, he gave me a list of units available. Most of them matches my preference. Thanks again."
"Sam was very quick in scheduling a tour. They were also very efficient with communication through the leasing company and very responsive to when we had questions. They were very helpful with making sure all of our information was received, as well as letting us know if we needed something else. Overall had a very great experience and were able to get our dream apartment with them!"
"Sam was very responsive and knowledgeable about high rises in Chicago. He was great at asking questions to the leasing agents and following up. Amidst this, he made the process very stressful by pushing me to apply to a building right away and then completing the necessary steps immediately when I was trying to resolve something with my current building. For future, I’d recommend allowing your client space to complete the process themselves and not being unbearably persistent throughout my moving experience."
"I’d give more stars if I could! Sam was an absolute delight. He sent me great options with in my budget, was never pushy, very communicative, quick responding and got me into the apartment of my dreams! 10/10! Great experience. "

"Sam did a great job, he found me multiple good options off the bat. He was extremely responsive and on top of the whole process. When the apartment I really wanted had an applicant fall through, he even called me on a Saturday night to let me know and make sure I was the next applicant in line. I ended up signing there. Highly recommended!"
"Sam was extremely helpful, working with my group to find the apartment we wanted that checked all of our boxes. We were able to tour multiple nice places in a short period of time and he was always professional and knowledgeable."
" Sam did an amazing job assisting us in finding our dream lease and on such short notice! Within 24 hours of contact Sam sent us 12 places that fit our exact criteria, we chose 6 and within 2 days sam had 4 tours scheduled for us. We fell in love with one of them and Sam walked us through each step & even followed up with us multiple times on the weekend to assure we secured our perfect place. Within 7 days of my initial message to Sam we had a lease signed to our perfect place. I know for fact this couldn’t have been done without him & we truly could not be more grateful for how easy, stress free, and quick Sam made a typically extremely stressful process for us! I couldn’t recommend working with Sam more and will for sure be working with him again in future moves and referring him to friends/family! "
