Tina is an expert negotiator, she's diplomatic but direct, and graciously stands up for her clients. Plus, she has an awesome work ethic! We had been trying to find the right house for months and were feeling discouraged until we found Tina. Our situation was complicated by being out-of-state buyers, and Tina would go to houses as our eyes-and-ears, taking photos and letting us know when she thought it was worth a trip in to see a house in person. She truly put in the time for us and we are so grateful. Now, we are moving into our wonderful house in a few weeks -- thank you, Tina!

It's a tough position to be in. I bought a home at a significant price. The quality is poor and…read morethese duplexes are overpriced. There are several issues of integrity and character for this builder that the few owners in our community are experiencing and expressing to the City Of Sycamore This is not a homeowners association community. The majority of the property is rental property owned by Mr. Youssi. However, the homeowners are following the rules and paying our fees, which are going towards managing all the rental property that Youssi s owns. Based on that and a little bit of information, we have this so-called homeowners association collecting our money, this HOS is in the negative. Apparently, Youssi doesn't have to put any of these other homes in the homeowners association. this is not what any of the actual homes buyers were told. quality products, and labor for the price of these homes is seriously lacking. Some of the biggest obvious issues are: the community approximately a year old and the sidewalks are deteriorating. One year and the sidewalk are falling apart. The black top driveway weren't sealed and the asphalt was not laid correctly or with any kind of quality. I moved in and I immediately mentioned my black top is gouged. There's areas that it's bare and that's gonna get weathered and then it's gonna will be a problem for the driveway. Like the sidewalks, it must be fixed by the builder. We have dead trees. We have dead bushes all that needs to be replaced. This community was a year old when I moved in. Really awful. Youssi and his people in his office won't communicate with the home owners. We've asked for regular financials, we've asked who the insurance company is that we're paying insurance for and do they cover the rental properties or just the homeowner properties. We raised the fact that this is supposed to be a homeowners association and the deck says no renting no Airbnb's. But Youssi added a paragraph at the very end of the deck that basically discredits the whole declaration. He added a paragraph stating he can do whatever he wants and the homeowners can't do anything to interfere with that or impact his income. He has rentals, he has numerous Airbnb's. He's doing everything against the deck that he put into place. So open issues: no official homeowners association and there won't be because he owns the majority of the property so it can't be turned over to the homeowners Collecting our money and using it for his rental property Lack of transparency and communication for what our money is going for? Our houses aren't finished. I bought a model and my yard is a rock garden of mess. I have no shutters on my house yet. I've asked for my front door to be painted and it's still a mess after painting it twice. white markings and bare spots all over it on a dark brown door. I have a 60 day punch-list that hasn't been completed. He's guaranteed that that will happen for the owners. Then we have a one year final follow up that many of my neighbors are coming up on and that is not getting addressed for them. I'm noticing issues with some of my facia on the outside, my walls and my ceilings are separating on the inside, there are many many issues He is looking to build another community out here where he'll rent the majority of it. He's stating it's another HOA homeowner The homeowners here in our community are going before the planning and zoning and the City Of Sycamore to get their backing for Youssi to pay and fix our streets, plant more trees and bushes, fix the drive ways. There's not enough of us to put the bill for doing all the sidewalks. It's thousands of dollars with only a few homeowners that own to come up with the resolution. as a small home owner community, we simply can't do that. It should've been done right the first time. So be smart, use caution, possibly go look at another builder

Anytime I had a question or concern, they got back to me right away and made sure I understood every step of the process. What I appreciate most is how honest and transparent they are. You can tell they truly care about doing what's right for their clients. Also incredibly proactive which made everything feel easy and stress-free. It's rare to find someone who communicates so well and makes you feel completely taken care of. I can't recommend Sara and Youssi Homes enough. If you're looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely great to work with this is the person and builder you want.

Julie was such a person and was helpful to our needs and listened to any and all questions with insight and feedback on how best to proceed in the sale of our home. She absolutely spent plenty of time with us and never rushed us in decisions. While i had my own research and ideas going forward, we collaborated them with Julie and were able to finely hone a successful sale where i expected it to be in the end. Though the market in our area was slowly rebounding at that point in time, we were able to get a fair price in a reasonable time on the market, a proof that Julie was on top of her game. She kept us in the loop as we went to closing without any surprises and all went smoothly. We used her suggested attorney and that also helped smooth things along.
