This was my third time working with Eric, and as always, the experience was outstanding. In a…read morechallenging market with high mortgage rates and low inventory, I decided to sell my condo to capitalize on the opportunity. Eric was meticulous in every step of the process--conducting a comprehensive market analysis, recommending an effective pricing strategy, organizing open houses and viewings, expertly guiding me through offers, and handling contract reviews and closing with ease. I highly recommend Eric and his team; they truly are the best.

My partner and I are planning a move to Chicago, and a friend in the city referred us to Bob…read moreCopeland, a realtor with Eric Marcus Chicago Homes, for advice. Bob was super friendly and helpful, offering lots of great insight on the market and on our target neighborhoods. He was always happy to strategize and answer questions over the phone, and provided us with a daily rundown of new listings to pore through, and even offered to help check them out on our behalf to help us scout potential spots. All of it was a huge help, and gave us a lot of confidence as we went through the process of finding our next home. Would absolutely recommend his services to anyone else planning a move in or to Chicago.

I had never been to Chicago and he helped me navigate neighborhoods, weigh pros and cons - the works. When it was sadly time to sell that home this winter, even after meeting a ton of other real estate agents over the years, he was the first and only person I called. He had great advice on prep for the sale, and we got under contract in two days above list. Armando is the best agent you can imagine - 100% client-focused.

I had an exceptional experience selling my Hyde Park condo with Matt's assistance. He provided…read moreexcellent guidance at every step of the process and was a key factor in helping me to get under contract within two weeks of my property being listed. His support included helpful checklists and clear communication at all times. I always felt like I knew what was going on which was very reassuring. I found Matt to be extremely knowledgeable and proactive. My selling process had an extra layer of complication due to the involvement of a condo board and management company. Matt made this part of the puzzle significantly less stressful. His team was equally strong, including both his colleagues at Fulton Grace and those in his professional network whom he recommended to me for photography, legal needs, etc. I was very fortunate to connect with Matt through a family recommendation and I would absolutely work with him again if I ever had to buy or sell property in Chicago.

Matt walked us through the entire process, listened to every single item on our wish list, and curated a search that hit every mark. Thanks to his expertise, we found our dream condo in a neighborhood we hadn't even considered and knew nothing about. Matt was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process; he would routinely respond within seconds--even after hours--to ensure our questions were answered and any worries were addressed. The speed at which he works is unmatched. As soon as we found a listing we liked, Matt jumped into action, and we were signing the lease within five days. He truly knows how to get things moving and has a deep understanding of the local landscape. My fiancé and I both agree that this is the best service we have ever encountered. I will be recommending Matt to anyone looking for a home!

A year and a half later, I finally decided to bite the bullet and sell my place. Mike helped me…read moresell my place and buy another, and it all happened in a mere 35 days. What should have been a crazy stressful experience actually wasn't that bad thanks to Mike. On the selling side, Mike was awesome. Sure, I was lucky in that I had a nice place (if I do say so myself) that showed great, but Mike helped me price it right in the "sweet spot" (as he called it), he made himself available for showings no matter how early they were (and one was painfully early), and....voila... we had TWO offers within the first week of it being on the market. TWO! (For comparison, an identical unit in my building sat on the market for a year. Mine was under contract in a week. Maybe that seller should have called Mike. Just sayin'.) Mike helped me weigh the pros and cons of each offer, was super patient with me during the counter offer process, and really educated me on which would be the best offer. On the buying side, Mike earned every penny of his commission. Inventory is low right now, which was great for me as a seller, but as a buyer it sucked. Places were going under contract in the blink of an eye, and on top of all that, the buyer of my place wanted to close in less than three weeks. Like any sane person I detest moving, but I was beginning to resign myself to the fact that I was going to have to move twice. When I finally did find a place I wanted, it happened to be unoccupied so Mike worked out a deal so I could take possession prior to closing, which apparently isn't normal, but it meant I didn't have to move twice. That alone made Mike my hero, and I don't know what he had to do to convince the sellers, but whatever he did obviously worked -- the seller told me at closing she had everyone (including her lawyer) telling her not to allow it, so kudos to him and his magic to get her to say yes. In the end, the stress of selling and buying was made a lot easier with Mike. The fact that this all happened in 35 days is insane, but it went as smoothly as it could thanks to him. During the whole process he was excellent at communication, whether it was phone, email, or text. I was never left wondering about anything. On top of it all, Mike is just a cool guy with a sense of humor and fun to chat with, which is always a bonus. Needless to say, I'd totally use him again, but... too bad I'm never moving again. :) You, on the other hand, should stop wasting your time reading reviews and just hire him. You won't regret it.
