"Teddy was so great during my home buying adventure! He is super knowledgeable about the city and the real estate community, and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. He was always available when I had questions and made the entire process FUN! I've already recommended him to many friends, and will continue to do so!" - Kate N.

★★★★★
"Teddy helped us sell our condo within a week so that we could buy our dream house! I would recommend him for both selling and buying, as we couldn't have done either without him. He's just the best :)" - Sarah O.

★★★★★
"I've worked with Teddy twice and recommended him to my friends and coworkers who likewise enjoyed working with him. I first worked with Teddy when I relocated from out-of-state to Chicago. Teddy makes the search process seamless. Prior to my in-state visit, Teddy sent me similar properties to gauge my interests. He showed me a variety of different properties and locations and organized properties of interest into a spreadsheet for comparison. When I visited Chicago, he had the day organized and made adjustments based on what we learned from each property. I didn't believe Teddy when he said we'd need more than two days to find a place. Turns out he was right. He quickly narrowed in on the features important to me and showed me several properties that I would have been happy to move into. Two years later, we worked together again and even more quickly narrowed to the final properties. Teddy also helps identify and negotiate great deals. With both my rental locations, he obtained a price lower than marketed. I highly recommend work with Teddy because he's a pleasure to interact with, and he's committed to getting you the right deal at the best price." - Kim K.

"Teddy was fantastic in helping us find an apartment. We had just moved back to Chicago from the UK and needed to find something quickly. Teddy was extremely responsive and set up a day of tours immediately which allowed us to act fast. We would recommend to anyone looking for an apartment or home in the Chicagoland area." - Zachary and Kelli S.

★★★★★
“Teddy has been so great to work with. As first time home buyers, we were overwhelmed by the process at times and Teddy was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with us as we tried to find something that fit our tall orders. He delivered! We also had to break our lease once we found our home and Teddy worked tirelessly to find us qualified subtenants. He delivered again!" - Dan G. and Sarah D.

★★★★★
"Teddy is a great realtor. He is pleasant and easy to deal with. He is knowledgeable about his market and skillful with the other realtor and party. His negotiation and presentation skills are the reason my appraisal came in at the right (relatively high) number, where my prior agent completely dropped the ball. I have used Teddy for 3 transactions and I recommend him without reservation. Teddy is great." - Victoria V.

★★★★★

★★★★★
"Teddy was absolutely fantastic to work with. My husband and I worked with him to find an apartment last year, and then when we were ready to be first time home buyers, we knew exactly who to . Teddy walked us through the entire process, and made sure we always understood every step along the way. He was very familiar with all of the neighborhoods we were interested in, and brought a lot of new perspective to the process us. He was always accessible when we needed anything, and made it a truly enjoyable experience. Teddy was receptive to us, and took everything we liked and didn't like and helped us find the perfect home. He always made sure to keep our best interests in mind, and our wishes were respected throughout the home buying process. We can't recommend him enough, and will definitely be working with him again" - Justine G.

★★★★★
"Teddy was absolutely incredible to work with! As two first time home buyers new to the city, he helped us narrow down our location, figure out our budget, and prioritize the things we were looking in a new home. He was always super responsive when answering our questions, no matter how small, and explained things in an easy to understand manner that put us at ease during the home buying process. We had a great time working with him and would highly recommend Teddy to anyone!" - Kristin S.

★★★★★
"Teddy was extremely helpful in finding a new place to live when I first moved to Chicago. I knew very little about the city and he helped me pin down a great neighborhood and building close to my office. Highly recommend Teddy!" - Jacob K.

★★★★★
"Teddy is absolutely amazing! Last year we worked with Teddy to find an apartment when we moved to Chicago, and that was our plan again until we found a condo nearby that met all our needs. Teddy seamlessly transitioned from helping us to helping us buy and made the process a total breeze. He was available every step of the way: answering our many questions, providing us with resources and contacts loan officers and attorneys, and keeping us sane and worry-free. Teddy also made sure everything stayed on track despite shelter-in-place going into effect midway through the process. We cannot sing Teddy's praises enough. If you need a realtor, you need Teddy." - Courtney B.

★★★★★
"Teddy was a true asset in finding our home! He is extremely knowledgeable of the various neighborhoods in Chicago and worked with us to identify and narrow locations that met our desired criteria. He was very flexible with scheduling and always made himself available to answer any questions. Additionally, the online portal was a great tool us to view listings and categorize our favorites - with Teddy's guidance it was a seamless process. I couldn't be happier with our new home and that is all due to passionate and caring work Teddy provided. I would highly recommend him to others! Thank you Teddy!" - Erica N.

★★★★★
"I have worked with Teddy on two separate instances and both times he went above and beyond with his service. Starting this process both times, he takes the time to meet in person and walk through each and every step, getting an understanding of your needs as well. During the actual property search he prioritized any place I wanted to visit, and met immediately if need be. Finally, when it came time the more legal process, he still stayed close and I really valued this. He mitigated any random complications and kept me comfortable no matter what was happening. Teddy offers a true personalized service and experience. I can tell he is passionate for this line of work and I would recommend him 10 times out of 10." - Alex B.
