Great agent, great experience

We soon realized that buying was a way better option than renting and were kind of intimidated by the whole process. Tim made sure to show us units in beautiful downtown Chicago that were tailored to our needs! Whenever we would go see a unit the first time he was very thorough and made sure to point out the pros and cons of that particular (pointed out flaws and things that would have to be replaced, etc). We instantly felt comfortable trusting him with our potential new home! His diligence is beyond what we expected as he made himself available through , text, and email (literally within 5 min). It was hard us to commute downtown to see some units and he flawlessly worked around our schedule. I cannot recommend him enough. As I unpack boxes in our new Bucktown apt, trust me you're in good hands!

Working with Tim was an absolute pleasure! He is always available to answer questions and guide you through a process that can be overwhelming and stressful. He will definitely keep your best interests at heart and work tirelessly to negotiate the best deal! I can unequivocally recommend Tim with zero reservations!
