I was referred to Alexandra Vanella from a person that worked with her in the past, I truly wish I…read moremet her a month ago before my deadline out of my hotel. After our introductions Alexandra provided efficient and fast service that I did not get from the other 4 agents I was working with trying to move here to Chicago. I did tell her i was running out of time and needed to move within the next week, the quality of options and the variety if options was exactly what I needed to see as I was getting stressed with the whole "moving in the summer to Chicago". She was very transparent and when we were dealing with difficult realtors she was not hesitant on reaching out for me to find out what the hold up was on their end to really get me in a place that I was interested in. Alexandra would send me morning texts to check on statuses if I was getting emails replied and getting in touch with the home owners. She did a really amazing job delegating my stress and communication with everyone I needed to all the way until i was officially moved in. At times I felt i was probably annoying her and I apologized for being antsy and she told me that everything was ok and that there was no need for me to apologize. Her goal was set to get me through this process as smooth as she can make it for me.. I will be sending all my friends her way and i will not use another agent as long as I live here in chicago!

If you're navigating the Chicago rental market, especially from out of town, work with Asiye, I…read morecan't recommend her enough! From our very first conversation, she took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for never lost sight of it. She understood what I wanted from the start, never pushed anything that didn't fit, and kept sending me options that were actually relevant. When it came down to it, she advocated on our behalf directly with the leasing teams and helped us land exactly what we were after. Every question, every concern, Asiye is always on it! If you want someone who is responsive, patient, and focused on getting you the best result, work with Asiye!

I was in a desperate situation last month after being turned down by other places and finding out…read moreat the last minute that I needed to move into a permanent home within two and a half weeks. It was very difficult at first to locate a place because my son is disabled and I needed a building with an elevator in a certain area. I contacted Caryn and Dave at Apartment Solutions in Naperville, Illinois. They stepped up immediately and fought so hard for me. I cannot say enough good things about this team! Dave really pushed incredibly hard to make sure everything went through. Thanks to their absolute dedication, they came through in less than two weeks with a beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental complete with elevator and garage parking. If you need a team that will truly go to bat for you when the pressure is on or you are looking for a team to help you find housing with dedication to your specific needs, look no further than Apartment Solutions! You guys are truly Awesome!!! Linda Young

CL3 managed my condo for 3 years while I lived out of town. Unfortunately, my experience with them…read morewas disappointing and I have to give them 1 out of 5 stars. Their communication regarding issues with the property was inconsistent, depending on the person handling the matter. This was especially the case when tenants were changing over. They failed in the most basic and vital of tasks when new tenants move in, i.e., assessing any damage to the property or other issues caused by the prior tenants and reporting it to me, the owner. Instead, after both sets of my tenants moved out, I was left to figure out by myself how to handle issues caused by the outgoing tenants. On one occasion, there was a puzzling incident where one of the repair vendors they contracted with may have serviced my neighbor's unit instead of my own. Instead of confirming this with the vendor, CL3 asked me to contact my neighbor to see what occurred! I did so only to find out that the vendor had serviced the correct unit (mine) after all! In all, CL3 seemed more interested in collecting the monthly commissions by doing as little as possible than in helping manage the unit. For property management, I recommend looking elsewhere.

We needed several estate-planning documents notarized, and it can be surprisingly hard to find a notary who handles everything--signing, stamping, witnesses--efficiently and professionally. Here, it was seamless. Service & Experience *Appointment scheduling was smooth and flexible *Quick responses to initial questions about pricing, witnesses, and requirements *They provided all necessary witnesses on-site *The full notarization process took less than 30 minutes *Pricing was very reasonable given the number of documents we had What Sets Them Apart *Excellent customer service--fast, clear communication from start to finish *Clean, professional setup that makes the process feel easy and stress-free *They also offer apostille services, which is a huge convenience. Instead of navigating government offices downtown or waiting at limited DMV locations, you can simply make an appointment here and get it done without the hassle. Verdict Express Apostille & Notary Services makes a traditionally inconvenient process unbelievably smooth. Great communication, efficient service, reasonable pricing, and the convenience of both notary and apostille offerings in one place. Five stars and highly recommended for anyone needing document services in Chicago.

The building has everything you need---amazing rooftop views, state of the art fitness center, kick a** doormen that are *always* willing to help out with anything. I wasn't anticipating, as a first time home buyer, that the process would be so seamless, but I thank the amazing team at Kopley Group (from the sales team to the contractors/designers) for being so responsive with questions and requests. I feel like the cool kid in class now amongst my friends, because I'm proud to bring my friends over to entertain; and its located 2 blocks from the el, close to Roscoe Villiage, and row of bars & restaurants along Lincoln Ave. And as Guy mentioned below, neighbors are awesome, and have, probably, the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen. Def. happy as a clam.

The professionalism, congeniality and joie de vie of the sales and design staff was pinnacle to closing a solid real estate deal. The feel of the place had us at hello. As we meandered through the unique spaces we were enamored by the look, the feel, the sense of community. There is a genuine sense of home from throughout the private residences and common spaces. The concept pulled in "like and like" as the owners at 1800 represent genuine, unique and compassionate. It is so amazing to share skyline lit, roof top wedding and birthday celebrations, holiday open loft spaces, a friendly hello on an early Saturday morning and a "concierge" staff that serves with delight. For real. We saw "loft" spaces all over the city (due diligence) and were continually pulled back. From selections that satisfied the smallest details to service and financing we were completely served. We worked alongside of friendly faces who guided us all along the way. They genuinely got to know us. The Kopley team led by Stefanos Karavolos is built on honesty, integrity and passion. These core tenets thrive in the residences that are created. Laughter, fun and well serving our interests were included in the deal. This was a signature build out-- our signature-- the team was invested in how we created a home that represents who we are and what matters most to us.

From the first outreach to tour our first condo, I was immediately impressed by the timeliness of the response from Sam Shaffer at Chicago Properties Firm. He immedtiately connected us with Artette and I feel so lucky to be able to work so closely with her thse past few months. I can't speak highly enough of her and the team at Chi Properties. Her professionalism, honesty, integrity and hard work were very much appreciated and respected. She is very detailed, honest, and just so great to work with. From the first home she viewed with us, to the last, she remember every single detail of things we liked & disliked and as I sent her listing after listing until we found the one, she advised on before even going to the listing if we would like it or not. 10/10 experience with her and the team! When we decide to buy our next home, I will absolutely be using her and the team again as they made this process as seamless as possible.

(We worked with David DuFault - please note I posted this review on his individual Yelp page, but…read morewanted to make sure he got credit on the Chicago Properties site too.) I cannot rate David highly enough. He was our real estate agent last year as first-time home buyers also expecting our first baby. David was careful to explain every step of the process, and balanced perfectly the delicate line between supporting our decisions and preferences while giving us honest feedback about certain properties. He was incredibly responsive, always in-contact, and always found an answer for us when we reached out with questions. We never felt pressured to make a decision. Even when, earlier this year, we had an issue with our new Jefferson Park condo and needed consulting on our contract, he responded right away and went above and beyond to help us resolve it. David is also just a great, sweet guy. :) We are so incredibly happy with our first home, and we will definitely be contacting David when it comes time for us to make our next move!!
