Connie from Remax was a pleasure to work with. She gave me great comps and priced my condo much higher than what I would have expected. She helped me through the process and was very efficient and everything she did. I would highly recommend Connie as your realtor. read more

Connie is an outstanding agent! She represented us, twice, for both selling our property and buying a new home. She's savvy, smart, kind and very supportive! I can't recommend her enough! read more

I was trained as a homebuyer counselor and listened to my training. When listing your property use an agent that knows about owning, about condos, about Chicago, etc. I selected Connie Abels because she's someone I know to be a professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market, including Rogers Park. My unit closed within a month from the time the listing went live - $40k over the last sale in the building. Connie was on top of it. I strongly recommend her for either your listing or buyers agent. read more

We recently sold our house in Roger's Park using Connie. We were very fortunate she was our agent as she has extensive knowledge of the market in RP and ensured the process for listing and selling went according to our expectations. We also use her agency for purchasing our new home. Both the purchase of new home and selling of old home were done in an extremely tight timeline but everything worked out well and we are very happy with our new chapter in life! read more

We are so thrilled that we chose to work with Connie. As first-time homebuyers, we were simply overwhelmed as we poured hours of research into every decision. Connie proved to be a wealth of knowledge and a trusted resource. Connie made the entire process a true joy and shockingly easy. We were fortunate to be able to close on our first home in less than 2 months from first contacting Connie (this includes being out of the country for 2.5 weeks) She's the best there is. Do yourself a favor...stop overthinking and just reach out to Connie. read more

Connie was simply the best, and we would use her again in a heartbeat. We were looking in and around Rogers Park, and a local friend said she was the best. They were right! For starters, she knew more about every property and neighborhood than the listing agents did. Connie listened to our wants and needs, which were a lot since this was an interstate move with 3 people and 4 pets; tirelessly looked for properties as she continued to learn about us; provided candid and helpful advice about what she would do in our situation; and ended up getting us into our DREAM home (before it fully hit the market...). If you're considering Connie, go for it. She knows this business like the back of her hand, is an invaluable resource, and a fantastic person! read more

I'm so glad we had Connie in our corner during the sale of our townhouse. Any real estate agent can (and happily will!) list your home for sale, especially when the market is up and everything goes smoothly. Where Connie's extensive knowledge and experience came in handy for us was when the market was somewhat uncertain (fall/winter of 2022), and things went a bit sideways with our first buyers. That's when we were so glad to have Connie's expertise on our side. She kept us calm, she stayed involved, and she advocated for us during a time when it really made a difference. She and her very capable team were a pleasure to do business with, and we're glad we chose her out of many other realtors. read more

Connie did a great job. We had an offer in 2 days on-market. She was off and running from day one. I couldn't recommend her more highly. The process was seamless. read more

Connie knows this market and how to get deals done. We dealt with her from an out of town perspective and she helped us with most everything. Highly recommend her and her group. read more

We have used Connie several times to sell our houses and to find a house for our daughter. She is an excellent realtor and very easy to work with. read more

I had a great experience working with Connie and her team. She was able to sell my condo quickly and at a much higher price than I had expected. She was great at explaining things and always easy to reach, and made what is often a very stressful process seem easy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone selling a home, especially in Rogers Park and the surrounding areas. read more

Connie was AMAZING!! It wasn't just about a sale for her. She took into consideration our needs, our family size, concerns, and she let us know when we could do better. She was attentive and responsive. She's a hell of a negotiator too. read more

Connie is wonderful. She made the selling process so easy and helped me understand what was happening every step of the way. Additionally she is on top of her stuff, anytime I needed an update or had a question, no matter the time of day, she was ready to assist. This just speaks to her commitment to making sure I was well taken care of. Thanks again read more

Connie was the best realtor to work with - she knows the market as she comes with many years of experience! Needing to sell my condo quickly, Connie found the perfect buyer for my condo and reassured me when I doubted that it could be done. Connie was attentive to my needs and the needs of my unit, provided realistic and meaningful feedback, was responsive and overall very easy to work with! Connie maintained a positive attitude throughout the whole process, she was encouraging and has amazing follow through. I highly recommend Connie for anyone looking to purchase or sell a property. read more

An expert on the area with a tremendous sense of humor. Connie helped us find a place better than I ever could've imagined, as well as serving as the driving force in negotiating a much fairer credit for home repairs. We were lucky to work with a realtor with such joy and passion for her work. read more

Connie was an excellent choice as my realtor for the purchase of my condo in Rogers Park. I've purchased homes/condos before, so of course I knew how critical a competent, motivated, professional, and engaged realtor can be. Connie was all of those and more. After seeing 4 condos with me - she quickly surmised what I was looking for and found - on the 5th try - a condo that hadn't even appeared in the MLS yet. It was perfect! While Connie was excellent, what was the best part was that her team is great... and her team's team was great. From finding me a lender (Matt Tierney with Guaranteed Rate) that secured a loan that was a full 1% less than my bank quote and found a program to provide a $7,500 no interest loan to an excellent home inspector and professional attorney - Connie's team was nothing but professional and responsive. Even the handyperson that the lawyer (Erica Minchella of Michella Law) referred me to has been great. So, if you are looking in Rogers Park (and I would imagine other nearby Chicago neighborhoods), I don't think you can lose with Connie Abels as your realtor partner! read more

One of the worst individuals I've ever dealt with. She makes assertions that aren't true about other agents and lenders that aren't true. Her goal is to persuade you to use her people. Probably to get a kickback. I'd suggest she learns how to read a pre approval before making false claims. I'd advise everyone to stay away from her. She assumed a deal wouldn't get done and bad mouthed another entity simply because we wouldn't use her people. Well the deal got done through no help of her. She didn't serve her clients well buy any stretch of the imagination. Now that we'll be living more permanently in Rogers Park I'll be sure to let everyone know how she conducts her business affairs, more importantly her clients affairs. Her goal is not to serve her clients but her own selfish, greedy needs. I'm going to make it my mission in life to steer people away from her. Additionally official complaints will follow with the appropriate governing agency. read more

I was interested in seeing one of Connie's listings, but she was absolutely unwilling to make time outside of normal business hours to show it. After about two weeks of really slow back and forth between her and my buyers agent, I gave up and moved on. If you want people with 9-5 jobs to be able to see your home, I would recommend going with someone else. read more

Connie Abels was a pleasure to work with for our condo sale. She is highly knowledgeable and made us feel like we were in good hands throughout the whole process, even when we were working with her at a distance from Florida to Chicago. If you're looking for a reputable broker who has the skills and experience, we highly recommend Connie Abels. read more

Connie was a professional all the way, with how she handled our questions and the sale of our condo. Connie knows the market, the area, and what she is doing. If you are looking for an agent, I would definitely recommend Connie. Connie is quick in her responses and her actions with paperwork, photos of the condo, etc. Glad that everything was done with Docusign, especially during the pandemic. read more

Connie is wonderful! Why would you choose anyone else as your realtor? She is very knowledgeable about Rogers Park (her specialty), she accompanied me through the process and negotiated the outcome masterfully. read more

Connie is wonderful. She has so much knowledge about Rogers Park, she knows the neighbors, business and culture of that amazing neighborhood. She answered the messages quickly and her work was beautiful and very professional. If we ever come back to the neighborhood I will look for her to be my realtor again. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Connie Abels. On top of her excellent skills as a Realtor, she really made us feel cared for. Connie was our listing agent in a sale, and subsequently represented us in another purchase. She was very supportive and patient with us even during our "wishy washy" episodes of second guessing. Buying and selling real estate is such a journey. I trust Connie completely and feel very fortunate to have found her. If you want a straight shooter who isn't afraid to point out things you may have missed, then you have found the right agent. Personally, I WANT GUIDANCE. I WANT an opinion from my Realtor. I APPRECIATE this quality when contemplating big financial issues. She is bold, and 100% in your corner, and will fight for you. read more

Connie does fine work. She's motivated and effective at getting the best price for your property. Her experience shows in her ability to "seal the deal", even under challenging circumstances. Recommended. read more

Connie went above and beyond for us. We had very complicated circumstances with our sale that included a tenant who would not move out and she patiently worked with us through the process recommending resources to navigate forward. read more

Connie was an awesome real estate agent. She was very thorough, personable, patient, and available, and helped us find a perfect home. She walked us through the unfamiliar parts of buying a first home, and we ended up with a great condo in Rogers Park at a really good price. Her referrals were also all top-notch, and we were pleased with the services of the people we ended up working with through her. read more

Connie has the knowledge and skills to get things done right the first time!

Connie went above and beyond her duties as a listing agent and almost became a contractor supervising all the work that the house needed in order to close. I just wished she had better phone service. read more

Connie claims to be the #1 realtor in Rogers park, but I can't fathom anyone with worse customer service skills. Actually, just terrible manners in general. After I politely declined her offer to be my agent, she said that I "didn't know what I was doing" and because I was looking at a wide range of prices I was "wasting her valuable time." She literally said "I don't want to work with you, and I don't really even like you" over the phone. All I asked was for her to simply show me an apartment for which she was the listing agent and she blatantly judged me and was incredibly rude. I feel sorry for the owners of that apartment because she lost them a potential buyer with her attitude, immaturity, and self-righteousness. read more

5 years later, EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING MAJOR in the "brand new" condo Connie sold us is broken. PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, APPLIANCES, INTERCOM SYSTEM, SHOWER, LIGHT FIXTURES, GARAGE DOORS ROOF, Now we get a notice that SHE never got permits for construction on our decks or fences and are not up to code so we are paying the price for it by having to redo it. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS WOMAN! She lies and bought all of the things in our building from some whack a do place so now that it is broken you cannot repair it. All must be replaced. SHE IS A REAL CLASS ACT (insert sarcasm here) read more

Connie helped me from start to finish including great advice on preparing my unit to list. I found her to be very knowledgeable, up front and trustworthy. She responded quickly to all of my questions at all hours of the day and most importantly, she got my unit sold. I am extremely happy with her service and would definitely recommend her to anyone. read more

Connie worked with me as I bought my first home- a short sale with lots of bumps in the road. In addition to finding me a beautiful home for a great price, she stood by me during the entire short sale process. She gave advice, connected me to the right people, and all-around fought for me and the sale. I think he knowledge on Rogers Park is exceptional, and I found her professional yet very warm and friendly!! I definitely recommend working with Connie!! read more

Connie Abels is amazing. If you are looking to buy or sell in Rogers Park, Edgewater, Andersonville, Evanston, Skokie or any of the surrounding areas look no further. I sought out her advice when buying my current home I had a tall order to fill when it came to fulfilling the needs of my family and myself. Connie went so far above and beyond what other agent had in the past (there were only 2, but still...I know hard work when I see it!), and I always felt that she genuinely had my best interests above everything else! She was so knowledgeable when it came to absolutely every aspect of home buying: the neighborhoods, parking, the entire buying process. She was able to help me clarify my needs and helped me to find a home that really works for my family. She took the fear and anxiety out of home-buying and I was actually able to enjoy the process. I found her to be kind, down to earth, approachable, responsive and very accommodating. I recommend her to everyone! read more

Connie is a true PROFESSIONAL! At our initial appointment she presented a binder of comparable properties, displaying some that have recently sold, and others that were currently in the market, so that I could price my property accordingly. Connie gave me ideas on staging my property, and also suggested how to make my patio appear warmer. Upon listing my property, she made a beautiful four page color brochure, which included amazing pictures of my unit. Her marketing skills are top notch. Connie was responsive to my emails and texts, she listened to my concerns, and she provided great advice throughout the selling process. The most important part is that she got my property SOLD. I now know why Connie Abels is Rogers Park top broker, her knowledge and expertise are invaluable. read more

For a first time homebuyer, Connie was wonderful to work with. She was very patient when answering my basic questions and has an incredible knowledge of the Rogers Park area. She was always quick to respond to my questions via email and was more than happy to show me a handful of properties on New Years Day. read more

Connie Abels is a Super Hero. She is not just anybody. She is a unique, rare, personality. She is extremely intelligent, facile, aware, knowledgeable, sensitive, street smart, and a very protective proactive advocate for her clients. She got us a condo that people were fighting over through her connections in the real estate, legal market. She knows EVERYBODY. But that's not all then, she was able to maneuver the sale of our house with a contentious buyer and buyer's lawyer who were "not being forthcoming" (lying) about needing to extend the closing date. We had to sell our home to buy the condo. She was able to help us avoid a CONTINGENCY TRAIN WRECK. Even though she was NOT my real estate agent on the sale of the home!!!!. She would have been the agent for the sale of our home had I known her earlier. She makes other real estate agents look like rank amateurs. She is able to maneuver and improvise on the fly. Connie is extremely responsive. She always returned calls within minutes, not days. Was very easy to contact and arrange for showings, walk throughs, meetings etc. She is one of the stands outs among all the people I have ever met in my 70 years on Earth. read more

No one knows Rogers Park like Connie Abels does - no one. She is the consummate professional who is on top of every detail and makes sure that her client have the best representation. read more

When I was looking for a Realtor to sell my recently deceased father's house, we identified the top 3 realtors in Rogers Park and interviewed each. While each had solid experience and success, Connie Abels just rose to the top. When we did a walk-through of the house she took detailed notes that included the smallest of issues. I had a list of questions that I asked each realtor and Connie was the only one to thoroughly answer each one in detail. Connie presented her overall marketing plan, her recommendation for pricing the house and why, and what steps I needed to take to get the house ready for sale. Probably the most important part of dealing with Connie was she listened to my thoughts and concerns then treated them with respect and understanding. After getting the house ready for sale and listing it, within 4 days we received a viable offer within the range we thought the house would sell. We couldn't be happier. What makes Connie Abels the best choice for us was: 1. She listens to you, tries to understand and respond to your concerns. 2. She communicates - throughout the process, from beginning to close, Connie explained each step: what to expect and how to respond. 3. She is professional in every sense of the word. 4. She shows empathy. If you are looking to sell or buy a house, make sure Connie Abels - ReMax NorthCoast is on your list. read more

My wife and I had a difficult short sale situation that took some real perseverance from all parties because of numerous bank restructures and other complexities....Connie helped us prepare for personal, worst-case scenarios with helpful advice and references. She had vast knowledge of not only the Roger's Park real estate market, but bank-related scenarios, legal details, association and renter specifics, and more. To make matters even more challenging, we had already moved from Roger's Park before listing the condo. Connie assisted with any and all kinds of aspects when she could have done much less.... or made life much easier for herself by deferring this listing from the beginning. Connie was incredible, and we are very appreciative to have been lucky enough to find her and benefit from the vast experience / knowledge that she has, in addition to selling our place for the best possible price. read more
