After interviewing three brokers, I chose Coldwell Banker/SFC Team (specifically Trish Capitanini…read moreand her husband, Frank) to sell a residential property in Wilmette. While all three brokers had the usual marketing material and slightly different approaches, Trish impressed me with her assessment of the property and her knowledge of the local market. She also correctly analyzed my needs and went out of her way to provide assistance to me above and beyond what I could have realistically expected. So I say this: if you're selling property on the North Shore, you need to at least meet with these people. I think you'll be very impressed. I did, I was, and I made the right decision in choosing them.

If there was a question that Julie Jensen can't answer about the North Shore Real Estate, the…read morecommunities, the schools, or even "could we dig out this basement", my wife and I couldn't come up with it. Julie worked with us in our recent home purchase where we looked in Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka and and Evanston, and she was a tremendous resource throughout the whole process. As a native (and current resident) of the north shore, Julie knows the north shore from all perspectives, and has hands on knowledge of the schools and neighboorhoods, restaurants, and most importantly the homes. Not only did she give us the inside scoop on the schools, the feel of each neighboorhood, but, she also helped us understand the relative value of each home, and the innate Strengths and Weaknesses of the construction, layout and all that. Finally, after being patient with my wife and I throughout our process, Julie was a great resource from the time we decided to bid, through inspection and all the way to close. In fact, I think her local knowledge really came into play in the last stage, as she helped us determine a fair price, and then knew all the questions to ask at inspection, and made sure we got everything all buttoned up for the close. Julie was great, not only was she personable and easy to deal with, she was attentive and very savvy about the area and the homes.

We found her on Yelp where she had great reviews. Julie was great from the word go, helped us get a feel of the North-shore area of Chicago and had great helpful insights. Having grown up here she lends a deeper perspective to the North-shore area and a good feel for the place. She kept us regularly updated on all the listings that were appearing in the market. We went to many of the houses that were listed and judging from our reston she quickly understood what we were looking for. She also had some very good recommendations on Mortgage Brokers and home inspector. Lastly she helped us negotiate a fair price for the house and very soon we were able to move into our beautiful house. Thanks!!

I had a deeply disappointing experience with this Realtor after she was recommended to me by a…read moreclose friend. 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.

She is professional, amazingly knowledgeable, an expert in real estate and finance, responsive, honest, genuine, patient, and kind. When I initially reached out to Susie, she texted me back within minutes. Even though she was in Paris, she was happy to set up a time for us to speak. Susie was so responsive and always made time to text, speak, answer any questions, and see listings together. When we looked at homes, she had a hawk's eye at noticing any red flags or aspects of the home that were noteworthy. She actively sought out places that matched what I was looking for and was quick to set up showings. While she offered her professional opinion, Susie never imposed her thoughts and opinions on me. She always had my best interest at heart. She was a great advocate throughout and went to bat for me when the sellers were difficult at times. In addition to being an absolute pro at what she does, Susie has a gift of really turning into her clients with care and kindness. Susie is not only an awesome realtor, but she is also a gem of a person. I highly recommend Susie and the Kantor team!
