In short, Adriana Hawkins was a godsend…read more I was a very anxious first-time buyer with a limited budget and a timeline. Adriana was kind, professional, efficient, and diligent as she used her invaluable experience to guide me through the home buying process. From strategically scheduling showings to ensure no wasted travel to answering any and all questions I had no matter how small or random, there is nobody I would rather have had by my side. I felt confident purchasing my home because she had given me the information I needed to make an informed decision. I write this from my new home, still confident in that decision. It was clear that Adriana had only my best interest at heart and I could not be more grateful. I would (and will) recommend Adriana in a heartbeat to anybody seeking to find a new home.

I felt extremely taken care of in my daunting first time home search. She quickly grasped the types of places and quirks I was looking for and was able to encourage me through potentials of a place I didn't even know were possible through renovation. I bought my place in a short time frame completely alone and the added stress of the situation, not knowing what the steps were, she was always checking in and helping me through the process with the myriad of intimidating questions I asked. I honestly wanna buy another home so I can keep going to places with her and laughing about them. Miriam is the best.

Short Version: Working with Nadine to sell our South Loop…read moretownhome was an amazing experience! We've known her for years through open houses and community events, and her design, staging, and market knowledge always stood out. When it was time to sell, she handled everything--from recommending updates to managing contractors and overseeing every detail. Her marketing brought in serious buyers quickly, and we sold faster than expected at a great price. Nadine and her team were professional, communicative, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Nadine Ferrata if you're buying or selling in the South Loop! Long Story: Working with Nadine to sell our home was an absolute pleasure! Six years ago, when we were looking for townhomes in the South Loop, we met Nadine as a selling agent. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and we were impressed by her staging and design skills. Ever since we bought our first home, I've enjoyed following South Loop townhomes for sale, and Nadine's listings and remodels always stood out as beautifully done. Over the years, we would continue chatting with her at community events she hosted or during open houses in our complex--just to see how other units were designed and updated. Because of this, and her reputation as the Queen of South Loop Realty, we always knew that if we were ever going to sell our townhome, she would be one of our choices. Fast forward six years, and it was time to sell. We reached out to Nadine, and from our very first meeting, she impressed us with her professionalism, in-depth market knowledge, and dedication to getting the best outcome for us. She walked through our home and laid out a thoughtful plan for preparing it to sell, offering suggestions on remodeling and updates that would attract buyers. Nadine has an excellent sense of what today's buyers are looking for. She managed every detail of the updates--bringing in a general contractor and repairman, selecting flooring, tiles, lighting, and colors--and she oversaw the entire process to ensure it was done right. Nadine also had a list of interested clients ready before the listing even went live. She truly knows the South Loop market, and many realtors turn to her for exclusive opportunities. Nadine went above and beyond to position our home perfectly in the market. Her expert advice on design and pricing, combined with a strong marketing strategy, brought in serious buyers quickly. Thanks to her efforts, we sold our home faster than expected and at a fantastic price! Nadine and her team operated like a well-oiled machine--everything was smooth, streamlined, and communicated clearly. Throughout the process, Nadine kept us informed, was always available to answer questions, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and even enjoyable. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven real estate professional, look no further than Nadine Ferrata. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy and sell their home.

As I do not know the city well I decided to get the help of professionals to help navigate the situation and ended up going with Dumas and Associates. During my apartment search I worked with Nikki and Rena, who were both incredibly helpful. They were communicative, proactive in contacting apartments I wanted to look at, and were in my corner when it came to filling out applications and other paperwork. I'm fairly certain that without their help the process of finding a new place would have been many times harder. On top of that, I found their compensation structure to be very transparent and fair. At no point was I blindsided by an unexpected fee or bill. I don't know if I'll ever be moving around the city again, but if I do I'd happily work with this group again.

Following an initial walkthrough of my condominium, she provided a market analysis and stated we needed to schedule a professional photo shoot. I responded three days later explaining I had been traveling and asked her to coordinate a date. That was in October. She never replied. In February, I followed up again via email to move forward, and once again, she completely ignored me. She essentially disappeared without a word. While "ghosting" a client is incredibly unprofessional, I ultimately have her silence to thank for a much better financial outcome. Her suggested listing price for my property was $365,000. My new Realtor listed the home at $425,000, and it ultimately sold for $440,000.
