I completely echo what Kristen E. said in her review. Regarding our experience with Agnes: We tried for two years to sell our town home without a single offer and less than a dozen showings. We took the advice of many and enlisted Agnes as our agent. She educated us on the entire process and provided us with all the proper tools to help us with our asking price however at no point did she suggest our price because she felt that was for us to decide. We had an offer our first week with her and we were under contract and sold within three months! Never did she ever make us feel as though she was working for her own interests and for that she has our utmost respect. When it came to helping us find a home to buy she discouraged us from looking at homes we couldn't afford and when we found what we wanted she again refused to suggest what we should offer but rather provided us with every available tool to help us in our decision. She truly worked for US and not her own interests. I have recommended her to anyone who will listen because she made both the buying and selling of our homes a truly wonderful experience. My only regret is that we didn't know about Agnes when we first wanted to move for it would have saved us a lot of time and tears!!!!! Almost two years later I STILL contact her for her local expertise on businesses and the like because she is very familiar with our area and she is always happy to help! I should also mention that we used her suggestions for a loan officer and lawyer and both were absolutely fantastic. She is the best and that's all there is to it! read more

Agnes Halmon is a professional, dedicated, and hard-working realtor that brings these traits to every transaction she is involved in. She works closely with her clients to see that all their needs are met, and their questions answered. In a recent transaction, Agnes was representing sellers who had not sold a property in over 30 years! Selling a home can be a daunting, if not flat-out scary, experience for any person. That notwithstanding, these feelings are significantly heightened when the clients are a little older and such a long period of time has lapsed since they were last involved in a real estate transaction. For Agnes, however, this wasn't even a bump in the road. She kept her clients fully informed through every step of the process and was able to allay any fears that arose with her well versed knowledge of the contract and where they were at in the process. Combining this approach with her broad-based understanding of real estate transactions in general makes Agnes a true professional. Agnes is a shining example of what all realtors should strive to be. In addition to all the professional attributes she brings to every transaction, and arguably most importantly, Agnes brings a level of genuine care and concern for her clients that is rarely exhibited by other realtors. And her clients will be the first to tell you so. John H. read more

When I was relocated for my job, I had my choice of real estate agents and chose Agnes due to her exceptional knowledge of the real estate trends in the area. I don't know any other realtor that knows the Brookfield/Riverside/LaGrange market and particularly the Hollywood Section of Brookfield, any better than Agnes. Agnes was very easy to work with and provided tremendous input which assisted in preparing my home for sale, she ordered professional photos of the home, and priced it perfectly for the market. My home was under contract the day it went on the market. After my home went under contract, Agnes tirelessly completed numerous amounts of paperwork and served as a liason on our behalf with a third party relocation company which greatly assisted with a smooth sales transaction. I would recommend Agnes to anyone. If I move back to the Chicago area in the future, I will be using Agnes again on the buying side. OUTSTANDING TO WORK WITH, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND VERY PROFESSIONAL read more

Agnes was a pleasure to work with as she helped us through finding and purchasing our first home. We worked with Agnes for 8 months while she enthusiastically showed us homes and helped us determine what things were important to us in a house. When we encountered a major hiccup with our first offer, she went above and beyond her role as a real estate agent to help us get the unfortunate situation cleared up so we could continue our house search. Agnes was easy to reach via email, text, or phone calls to answer our many questions throughout the home search and purchasing process. Her enthusiasm for real estate is apparent through her desire to help all her clients find the right house. We never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision. Agnes is a realtor with a great personality, who is easy to get along with, organized, profession and extremely knowledgeable. We really enjoyed working with Agnes and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property. read more

I called Agnes to help me find my new home after a family member met her at an open house and felt she would do a great job for me. That was an understatement. Agnes did an amazing job! She is very knowledgeable of the area, construction practices, and even offered design ideas to help me see the bigger picture in a home, when I wasn't able to. During the entire process, she went above and beyond, answering every text, phone call and even checking with the village to resolve some concerns I had regarding a property. Agnes truly made me feel like I was always her top priority throughout the entire process. For these and so many other reasons, I would recommend Agnes to anyone hoping to have a partner who will work tirelessly on their behalf to find their new home. Thank you, again, Agnes! You're the best! read more

My wife and I were first time home buyers. We were excited but also nervous at the same about the process. Our friends and family members highly recommended that we work with Agnes Halmon and I have to say she went well above and beyond our expectations. Agnes was perfect! Us not knowing at all what we were doing, Agnes would calmly and thoroughly explain the entire process to us. I always felt like Agnes was looking out for our best interests making sure that we found the perfect house. Also, My wife and I both work a lot so the only time we could see houses was late at night during the weekdays or on the weekends. Agnes made herself available to us 24/7. Agnes thank you so much for all the sacrifices you made on our behalf! We truly found the perfect home and have you to thank. read more

Agnes truly helped me out in a time of need. I had to sell my Mother's home due to medical issues while I was starting a new job. She took care of all of the running around for me, several trips to the town hall for final meter reading, setting up home inspection etc... Another outstanding point is she always answered her phone, or if she was on a call, she was back in contact me in 5 minutes. She also substituted as a free therapist for me as I was going through a very emotional time. As for the sale, I believe she did get top dollar for a home that had not had much done since the 80's, her marketing strategy was top notch..Thanks Agnes read more

Agnes was so helpful in every aspect of the home buying process. She knew the areas we were looking in and could offer knowledge about the places. As we looked through homes, Agnes would point out work that was poorly done or areas that needed attention. I truly appreciated this as we looked. Throughout the negotiation/closing process, Agnes gave us her advice about what to try to get and what she didn't think the sellers would budge on. Even the day of the closing, she texted my husband to see how everything was going. It was truly a pleasure to work with Agnes and I would recommend her to family and friends in a heartbeat! :) read more

I called Agnes in December to explore the possibility of moving to Riverside/Brookfield. I didn't have a idea of what I really wanted or needed. Admittedly I didn't give Agnes much to go on. And with some rather weak details Agnes and I began to work together. We visited dozens of homes in the Riverside/Brookfield area. Agnes took time to understand what was important for my family. She was always a call or email away. She had a ton of enthusiasm to be a part of this process. In the end we found exactly what we were looking for in a home. Exactly the area we wanted to be. Thank you Agnes for your time and energy. read more

I highly recommend using Agnes as your agent and I'm so glad she was with me on my first home purchase. She had so much knowledge about homes in the area. I took my mom out on the hunt with me and we definitely learned a lot during the process about how to tell a home's quality. Working with her was a great crash course in what to expect as a new home owner. She was very patient and knowledgeable on all the areas I was looking in (Westchester, Berkley, Brookfield). Home buying can be a super stressful experience but Agnes is the person I trusted most throughout the process. She is very much on your side the whole time. read more

Agnes is, simply put, the best agent I've ever worked with. She gave me terrific input on how to prepare my home for sale, priced it perfectly for the market, and marketed it very well. I had competing offers after the first open house, and the house was under contract after ten days. She shepherded the sale attentively through the closing, assisting with the village inspection process and any subsequent negotiations with the buyers. I and the buyer were both very happy. I've recommended Agnes to all of my family members and friends who have needed to sell or buy a home, and will continue to do so. read more

Agnes is a fantastic real estate agent. She helped our family with a sale and a purchase over the summer that was incredibly complicated because several details of the purchase were dependent upon contingencies of the sale and vice versa. At several points during the process, issues arose that could have forfeited both transactions, and Agnes went above and beyond to meet with people, make phone calls, and provide added documentation to make sure that everything progressed smoothly. I honestly believe that were it not for her, we might not be living in our new home. I highly recommend her. read more

To say the sale of my unconventional home was challenging would be a definite understatement. Agnes came highly recommended by several close friends and I am so glad Agnes signed on as our selling agent. She came with recommendations for house prep, referrals for contractors, years of sales expertise and an amazingly cheery disposition that got us through even the toughest days during the sales experience. Agnes definitely goes above and beyond to get the job done! I will not hesitate to recommend Agnes to anyone buying or selling a home. read more

If you need a realtor, Agnes is the one! We recently decided to retire and move out of state.

Agnes assisted us with the sale of our home in which we lived for almost three decades. She also assisted our son in buying his first condo.

We highly recommend Agnes for one of the biggest decisions in your life! read more
