Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and empathetic. He was able to deftly guide us…read morethrough the process of selling our home and the absurdities of the current market to a safe landing. Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

Nicole started out friendly and seemed like she could truly help us get a loan and understand everything along the way. She then started not returning our phone calls and did not seem to care about keeping us updated. She just kept saying everything would work out and to give it time.. 2 days before we needed to finalize our financing she told us they could not get us a loan. I was told by multiple people to not go with this company and get someone else. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and stuck with her to find out she was a liar and does not mind stringing her clients along. DO NOT go with this company for a loan. especially if you are a first time home buyer. total waste of time and added so much stress to an already stressful process

Jeff Kimpan is my hero…read more I've needed to refinance my condo for about 6 months. Every single broker I talked to told me; 1. I don't make enough money 2. My condo isn't worth enough yet. 3. I have too much debt. 4. They couldn't do it. So, when I approached Jeff to see if he could figure something out, the hope was small, and I made this clear to him. I didn't want him to feel bad if he couldn't work anything out for me... And at first, he told me I was not eligible by a sliver. And then the next day he calls and says "I've been digging around looking for a program that will work for you." And, it did! His hard work paid off, and I honestly, have never been so happy since I closed on that damn condo in the first place! (I saved $141 a month, hooray!) Jeff rocks. Seriously. There are a lot of snakey mortgage brokers, but this guy is the real deal. He sat with me at Starbucks and explained the ENTIRE thing in detail to me (something my first broker did nothing of), and made sure I knew exactly how everything was going to go down. I appreciated this so much. So, I'd recommend him to my best friend, my family, anyone. And to Yelpers. :) And don't worry that his office is way out there in Wauconda, he lives in the city and does a lot of work here...
