They strung me along for two weeks, kept changing their application requirements (first email had one credit score & income requirement, then the second email had a totally different requirement), and their office reps were incredibly rude to the realtor I was working with. Finally, the weekend of the move date I had applied for, they have the audacity to send my realtor an email saying that there is "another applicant ahead of [me]" but don't worry! If that applicant didn't sign the lease, then I would be free to drive out to Lyons on a Monday afternoon to sign the lease in person and pay $7000 in extra, previously undisclosed fees to secure the unit and move in two weeks later. The degree of unprofessionalism these people have displayed during this process is appalling. Also, none of your information will be secure if you apply to them. They do not use any kind of portal or encrypted interface. They make you just email them pictures of your social security card - and no, it's not enough to just give them your ss number on the form! They also ask that you pay the application fee by money order. But don't worry if you can't make that happen; you can just pay Richard directly by VENMO! I know I dodged a bullet not renting from these lowlives. If this was their application process, I can only imagine that renting from them must be hell on earth. It's still hard not to be mad that I let them waste two weeks of my life and completely fuck up my move though...

My review relates to the property management services, but if the broker services are similar, then…read moreI would avoid Dwellings all together. As the owner of an investment property in the city, I know the importance of a good property management company. Dwellings is not that company. We rented a property managed by them so we got to see how they operate from the lessee side, and...yikes. For example, the garage door of the property we leased was lifting slow. I know that when that happens, you stop using the garage. We called Melissa and she came out to look at it. A professional (which is who I would have called to come fix it) would have seen immediately that the torsion spring was broken and needed to be replaced. But not Melissa -- she proceeded to open and close the garage door repeatedly until the whole motor blew out. So instead of bringing in someone who knows what they are doing to make a relatively minor repair, she incurred hundreds of dollars in repair costs by blowing out the motor, requiring the entire system be replaced. If I were the owners I would have been pissed. Melissa also tried to increase our rent -- DURING THE TERM OF OUR LEASE. It was at that point we decided it was best that we move out. So we move out. Our lease provided for deductions from our security deposit solely for damages. Despite that fact, she withdrew money for light bulbs and move-in cleaning. A burned out light bulb is not "damage," and neither is the cost of cleaning. She took our money without regard to what the contract said. She also charged us for her botched door repair. So renters be wary, and make sure you do a walk through with her and a get written accounting after you move out and BEFORE she takes your money. I would never rent a property managed by Dwellings again and would definitely never hire them to manage the properties I own.

We had another flawless experience with Jim Flanders, this time while selling the same home he…read morehelped us buy 6 years ago. We have kept a great relationship with Jim through the years, and my husband has worked with him on buying and selling some of our investment property. So when it came time to sell our city home in Logan Square as we made the move to the suburbs, we knew Jim Flanders was the one to help us do this. We were building a new construction home in the burbs, so we had a lot of lead time in knowing that we needed to list the property. This was a tricky balance since we didn't want to list the home too quickly (and risk selling it and being homeless for many months until our new house was ready), but we didn't want to miss the peak market season during the summer months and wait until the fall or winter to list it. We also have 2 toddlers at home, so the idea of having to keep the house "showing ready" for an extended period of time was daunting. In a perfect world, we would be able to get under contract quickly with a buyer, but negotiate a later close date and get the best of both worlds. Jim helped us do a walkthrough of the house and pointed out the things he recommended we do to get the house in showing form (painting the walls, caulking some areas, clearing out toy congested areas) but only focused on what he felt would actually make a difference rather than asking us to invest a bunch of money in things that ultimately do not help sell quicker or at a higher price. Jim helped guide us in our timing, thanks to his knowledge and understanding of the market. We listed on a Wednesday in July, and decided to have an open house that very weekend. Jim came and managed the open house for us and the first couple to see the home made an offer that same day. They did not have a real estate agent, and Jim led all the conversations directly with the buyer and negotiated the terms and conditions for the contract. He was able to negotiate a 90 day closing, which gave us plenty of time to stay in our home and enjoy it before needing to vacate. The best quality about Jim Flanders is his easy going personality and honest approach. He always has your back and wants the best for you. But he is not pushy. He will not talk you into doing yourself a disservice just to get a quicker commission. He truly wants to advise you and guide you to get the best results possible and his patience is incredible. He will be there as many times as you need him for as long as you need him, to make sure everything goes smoothly. It was one thing for us to have the utmost trust in Jim, but the most impressive thing was how much the buyers also trusted Jim. They opted not to get their own real estate agent and were fine working directly through Jim (even though he was representing us, the sellers) because they also could feel that Jim had everybody's best interests at heart. This is where Jim Flanders really sets himself apart from other realtors I've worked with. He forms relationships, not just with his clients, but with the opposite clients as well. He took time to have many phone conversations with the buyers to put them at ease, talk through the inspection findings, and negotiate our terms. They trusted him so much that when it came time to close, they didn't even ask for a final walk through of the house before closing. We couldn't have asked for a smoother and less stressful process of selling our home. We got the price we wanted, the closing date we wanted, and all the negotiations and conversations were easy and friendly.

We cannot recommend Jim more highly. He is a consummate professional, honest, thoughtful and…read moreoutrageously knowledgeable about the Chicago property market.
