He was always available to answer our questions, provide us with advice and keep us happy and motivated throughout our selling and buying experience. Jim is knowledgeable, honest and is very proactive in communication. He accommodated our busy schedule and was willing to take our phone calls in the evenings and scheduled showings for us on the weekends. We can't thank Jim enough for making our selling and buying process so easy and for dealing with all of our questions along the way. We are so happy in our new home and will continue to recommend Jim and the Roppolo Reality Team to our family and friends!

Susie handled the sale of my house - she was spot on in setting price - I had 7 offers on day one…read moreand sold the house for over asking - in fact 6 of the 7 were over asking and one was just a couple of thousand dollars less - she got the best price with the best terms with an amazingly quick closing. I was not living close by so most of the details and meetings had to be done by her. The quality of her services and her staff were exceptional and I feel so fortunate to have found her.

Susie, Natalie and the Kantor team are absolutely the best! As a first-time home buyer, I was…read morelooking for someone extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled and someone I would be comfortable working with. Susie far exceeded my expectations! 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!

I want to give huge shout out to my realtor Lisa Wenzel! Lisa and Melissa were so professional and…read moreattentive to my needs. Lisa and her team were very thorough on what they would offer as far as service, setting clear expectations, and communicating every step of the way to make me feel comfortable. Even though we had a few road blocks, she went above and beyond to make sure things still went through. Selling my 1st home which had so much sentimental value to me from 500+ miles away was stressful enough, but Lisa's exceptional service provided me with peace of mind that I needed to get through this process. If you're looking for a realtor that has your best interest at the forefront of everything, I highly recommend Lisa at Wenzel Select Properties! Just superb service!!

Overview: Regardless of whether you are buyer or seller, I would avoid working with Ginger (who now…read moreworks with Related Realty). She's simply "too busy" (her words) to bother being professional. With the other superlative choices that you have in the Lakeshore East/New East Side area, why choose someone who is subpar to represent you in the sale or purchase of arguably one of your most important assets? Instead, I would recommend either Naomi Wilkinson or Nicholas Colagiovanni, who are equally if not more knowledgeable about the area, and won't treat you like the gum on their shoe. Our Experience: Ginger represented the owner in our transaction and was standoffish and unfriendly (if not borderline surly towards us). We arranged to see the unit we were interested in twice and both times Ginger was late. Not only that, but on the first meeting, her assistant (Maja) had double booked her to show another unit. Due to her overbooking, she ushered us into the unit, spent about 3 minutes giving us short answers and then bolted for the door to show the other unit. Unprofessional, to say the least. Beyond our meetings with her, we found it difficult to communicate with Ginger as she only responds through her assistant. Throughout the transaction, we played the game of "telephone" where emails and calls would be forwarded from one person to another and words got distorted in the process. Further, anytime we asked about something pertaining to the unit, the tone of Ginger's emails was "if you don't like it, you can take it and shove it where the sun don't shine." While I get that Ginger was the advocate for the owner in our case, her attitude was completely unnecessary. I hope that if you are reading this and you are considering Ginger, you steer clear because buying/selling/renting a home (and moving in general) can be stressful enough as it is, why hire someone to represent you that's going to make the process more antagonistic than needed?

My husband and I recently listed our 2 bedroom condo with Debra. We met with several agents prior…read moreto choosing her and got the best feeling from her. She had great opinions about what to do to stage our condo and how to market it. Ultimately, we were under contract exactly 1 week after listing for full price. Unheard of and so much better than anything we could have imagined. She also helped us find our dream house and was there for us every step of the way. The most impressive thing to us was that she pushed the seller for a super fast close so we didn't have to live in temporary housing between the sale of our condo and our purchase!! I would recommend Debra to anyone selling or buying!

We just moved into our first home a few months ago and we have so much gratitude for Lynn. We…read morestarted the process with her on a whim showing about 10 months prior. In that time, we looked EVERYWHERE - seriously. Even through a global pandemic, this amazing woman was with us every step of the way. It was a long process but Lynn was patient with us. She never rushed us to make a move and she quickly learned our style, taste, and neighborhood preferences. From the start, Lynn genuinely took the time to get to know us and we trusted her right away. We saw some great homes (and some weird ones, too); but we always felt so safe and protected with Lynn. She is an expert in the real estate world. I'm not kidding when I say she saw stuff that we would have been totally blind to or we wouldn't have found out until home inspection. In retrospect, I don't know what we would have done without her. In the winter we had a sudden change of heart and didn't want to deal with the budget restrictions (and sometimes lack of-yard) that the city was giving to us. Instead of convincing us to settle, Lynn engaged us on an awesome phone conversation and we decided to look in the suburbs. Lynn was extremely flexible and was totally willing to work with us wherever... so we made our way out to Brookfield! Long story short, our first offer didn't work out although Lynn fought hard for us. Realistically, it was the best thing that could have ever happened. Although the house would have been fine, we probably would have outgrown it quickly and little did we know what was waiting for us on the horizon... While we were feeling defeated, Lynn found us a beautiful home in a close by neighborhood that wasn't even up on the market yet. We saw it the next day; it was incredible - and again, we immediately made an offer. Lynn worked diligently with us and our attorney to make the deal work. The global pandemic and some giant maple trees over the property definitely threatened the deal but somehow Lynn just kept on fighting for us. And then before we knew it, we were closing in April! Moving out here was the best decision we ever made. We are SO so so happy and would never look back. We got an amazing brick house with a finished basement and a beautiful small yard for the dogs. It was everything we asked for on our wish list. We couldn't be more happy! Thanks Lynn!
