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!

Louise was recommended to us by a friend of mine and now my husband and I know why! She helped us…read morein purchasing our home and made the process (which is somewhat intimidating) very easy. When we toured various houses, she pointed out various red flags in addition to things done well. Many of the things she mentioned were things that we wouldn't have noticed if we weren't looking for them (i.e. signs of a leaking skylight, uneven driveway (tilting back to the house resulting in draining issues and potential flooding down the road, etc.). It saved us a lot of headaches, expenses, and time not putting in an offer and having inspections come back with these red flags or heaven forbid it passes inspection, but causes problems later down the road! She is very experienced and knowledgeable. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants them in the best homes they can afford. I would recommend (and have) to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. I'll be sad when we're ready to sell our house not only because we love our home, but because she'll likely be retired by then! I also have to mention that Louise took the initiative to mail us a copy of our HUD statement after our first year of being in the house since we would need it for our taxes. This goes to show you how considerate, professional, and organized she is! We didn't have to even ask for it! She sent it on her own regard and goes to show you what kind of amazing real estate agent you'll be getting with Louise.
