A year ago I listed my home in Lombard, IL with Lincoln-Way. I was interested in both a flat fee…read morelisting service, and in doing business with people I knew through association. Joseph Siwinski is the owner of Lincoln-Way and he is a consummate professional who offers realty and mortgage services in both the state of Illinois and Indiana as well. I knew his wife Annette through MBLO Financing - she provided mortgage and refinancing services to me over 20+ years' time. I had gone the traditional route to sell my home in 2019 and ended up with a horrible realtor who was not at all responsive to my needs. In fact, she pressured me to accept an offer that I did not want to accept and then financing fell through and I had such a bad experience that I just did not a repeat experience. So I called Joe at Lincoln-Way and he was nice as pie. I was concerned about the distance between the realty company and my home but they made every accommodation to come to me. In-person, at my home, we discussed the contract, the details of the timeline, contract offers, closing, etc. I had so many questions. Once I signed the contract, a photographer came to take STUNNING photos. A sign was posted on the lawn, the listing went online on every listing site, and I started getting appointments on an app. I had total control over accepting appointments. My home was under contract within a week - and Joe did assist with the review of the multiple offers that I received. While they did not actually attend the closing, they supported me through the entire life-cycle of the sale. Don't be fooled here - Lincoln-Way is a FULL SERVICE realty company and they offer an immense set of services for a fraction of the cost of a listing agent. What's more, I never felt pressured, and I felt I had total control over every detail of the listing and sale. I have since moved out of the Midwest, and so I did not get to utilize Joe's services in finding a new home or obtaining a new mortgage. Joe and Annette - you have my gratitude - THANK you both!

After four days of no response, I grabbed the name of the realtor and called her to inquire about the property. The conversation was polite, but there was ZERO follow up. She offered to show the property either that night or the following day, never heard anything from her, even after I texted stating I would like to see the property. I'm in sales...you don't pass up a lead or business. It's truly unfortunate because I went to another realtor who has been more than happy to accommodate by business. This office lost a seller AND a buyer!

When we made the decision to sell our home, we consulted our family and friends for a real estate…read moreagent. The person mentioned was Louise. We could not have been happier with our decision to use Louise's services. In our first contact with Louise via phone call, she was courteous, professional, and focused on our objectives. When Louise followed up with a visit to our home, she was prepared to the point of having a booklet prepared with not only information on how the home selling process would occur, but also had already assessed our home's worth. When pictures were being taken of our home a couple of days later, comments were made to us on well we prepared and presented the house. This would not have been possible without Louise's suggestions. The pictures were then collated and presented not in a simple one-page sheet of information but a beautiful four-page brochure. The website listing was just as impressive in its display. Putting a house on the market in November, at the beginning of the holiday season, could lead to a lengthy waiting period for an offer. However, the results of Louise's work came when we received an offer on our house in less than three days. The offer blew us away, and there was no way we were going to pass on it. After we accepted the offer, Louise continued her proactive manner by contacting us and keeping us informed on each step of the home selling process. Most of the time, she would call or text us before we could even come up with questions to ask her. When we did have a question, she answered them promptly, thoroughly, and in language that was easy to understand. Having explained the closing meeting procedures to us ahead of time, Louise made the day an easy, stress free affair. She has followed up with us subsequently to see she could help us with anything else. This included information about the area in which we purchased our new home. We know that the market is full of real estate agents. We also know, however, how blessed we were to be able to have Louise sell our home. The world would be a much better place if it were populated with people like Louise. Without any reservations, we will highly recommend her to any of our family or friends who are in the market to buy or sell a home. Tom and Jennifer K.
