As first time home buyers, we are so grateful for Praveen's expertise through the entire process!…read moreHe took the time to get to know our family, was always very responsive, and really listened to our requests.

A Seamless Experience with Exceptional Results…read more This is our second time working with Praveen Mathew on a real estate transaction, and once again, he exceeded our expectations. Two years ago, my wife and I were first-time homebuyers searching for a house in Glenview, the suburb we wanted to call home. Despite the challenges of a competitive market, Praveen's expert negotiation skills helped us secure our first home under the asking price--a remarkable achievement that set the tone for our trust in him. Fast forward two years, and we found ourselves casually exploring the idea of upgrading to a slightly larger home with a fenced backyard, still within the same area. Praveen made the process stress-free, sharing private listings without any pressure. Over the course of a month, we viewed several homes with him, and rather than pushing us to settle, he meticulously pointed out flaws in each property, ensuring that we wouldn't compromise on finding our dream home at the right price. Then, a house that was well beyond our budget appeared on the market. Initially, we considered viewing it purely for inspiration, but after falling in love with it, we thought it was out of reach. Praveen, however, didn't let that stop him. He reached out to the listing agent and began what can only be described as masterful negotiations. Over time, he managed to secure the house for $350,000 below the asking price, along with additional incentives like finishing the backyard fence, installing CAT6 wiring and a Tesla charger, and ensuring cable lines were in place. Thanks to Praveen's expertise, we landed our dream home--and more--within our budget. Selling our current home was the next challenge. As I had a physicians loan, I was limited to one loan at a time, so timing was critical. Praveen confidently assured us that he could sell our home quickly and guided us through preparing it for market. His advice, such as painting bathroom cabinets instead of replacing them and rearranging furniture to maximize space, transformed our home into a buyer's dream. After professional photos were taken, we almost reconsidered moving because the house looked so incredible. Within 24 hours of listing, we hosted an open house that attracted over 25 families, resulting in multiple offers--all above asking price. Ultimately, we sold the house for nearly $200,000 more than we had purchased it for two years prior, and over $100,000 above asking price. Praveen seamlessly coordinated the sale and purchase so that we closed both homes on the same day, using the proceeds from our sale for the new home's down payment. Praveen's knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process incredibly smooth. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients. Whether you're buying or selling a home, I cannot recommend Praveen Mathew enough.

We were looking for a listing agent and verbally agreed to terms with Missy. She never disclosed…read morethat she would be working as a dual agent, which she was required. The drafted contract was not consistent with our agreed to terms. I read the entire contract line by line and identified the errors. She also tried to coerce us into using old photographs of our house (photographs taken by the sellers when we were buying the house in 2019) to save herself time and money (the rights to which are not with her). She can charm and talk the talk. Her long-winded responses never answer your question so she technically is not lying. She is after a quick sale. My strong recommendation to anyone considering her is to make sure to get your questions answered clearly and in writing.

Overall, primarily influenced by the outcome of our search / purchase (the most important measure),…read morewe were very dissatisfied with the overall service from Pam and Wendy. Pam and Wendy did give us a significant amount of their time and energy over the months it took us to complete the purchase of our new home, which was greatly appreciated. That being said, due to circumstances that could and should have been avoided, we now find ourselves in a discouraging and extremely costly situation as we work through several issues that should have been identified through the home search, due diligence and inspection. We trusted the inspector Pam and Wendy recommended to us would be thorough with a critical focus on protecting us from major issues - this was clearly not the case, and the shortcomings of the inspection and related negotiations have left us having to pay tens of thousands of dollars out-of-pocket to remedy. On a related note, the 'experts' Pam and Wendy recommended during the inspection/attorney review period were equally poor, particularly a roofer that gave us an estimate for repairs that we now know was 95%+ underestimated (as proven by four subsequent estimates for the same work), and gave us a false sense of security in terms of what we had ahead of us. Maybe the most unsettling part of the experience in hindsight (which should have raised our flags in the moment) was when Pam and Wendy clearly put the best interest of the sellers ahead of ours (their client) in the context of pressuring us to sign the deal on a condensed timeline so the sellers would not have to relist the property. Finally, neither Pam nor Wendy made themselves or a legal representative available to represent us in person during our closing, and did not give us a heads up that we would be there alone, leaving us with a fairly sour taste on what should have been a celebratory day. Overall, as we continue to work through issues daily and try to recoup our losses, we do not feel our best interests were prioritized and feel the advice from Pam, Wendy and their recommended subject experts was critically underwhelming and insufficient.

My husband and I were in…read morethe process of trying to decipher whether or not we wanted to take on a big project, or something more turnkey. Pam and Wendy differentiated themselves from the beginning because they knew the estimated costs of various projects, and where we would get a significant return on investment should we decide to sell our home in the future. We truly felt that they had our best interests in mind, and were always available to consult on various ideas. When we heard about a home coming on the market in Evanston, Pam did not hesitate to reach out to her contacts and ensure that we were the first people to get into see. Once we knew this was the home for us, Pam and Wendy knew how to navigate the negotiations with multiple offers, and her competitive yet sensible drive kept us calm and focused throughout the stressful process of buying a home in a pandemic. After the house was ours, Pam and Wendy's work did not end. They connected us with their favorite vendors for roofing, carpeting, lighting and more. They ensured we were connected with the best lawyer and loan-officer and were on-call to help us navigate several unforeseen circumstances throughout the process. We truly feel that our "forever home" today, would not have been ours without this incredible team of professionals assisting us throughout the process. We can't recommend them enough!
