This was my third time working with Eric, and as always, the experience was outstanding. In a challenging market with high mortgage rates and low inventory, I decided to sell my condo to capitalize on the opportunity. Eric was meticulous in every step of the process--conducting a comprehensive market analysis, recommending an effective pricing strategy, organizing open houses and viewings, expertly guiding me through offers, and handling contract reviews and closing with ease. I highly recommend Eric and his team; they truly are the best. read more

My partner and I are planning a move to Chicago, and a friend in the city referred us to Bob Copeland, a realtor with Eric Marcus Chicago Homes, for advice. Bob was super friendly and helpful, offering lots of great insight on the market and on our target neighborhoods. He was always happy to strategize and answer questions over the phone, and provided us with a daily rundown of new listings to pore through, and even offered to help check them out on our behalf to help us scout potential spots. All of it was a huge help, and gave us a lot of confidence as we went through the process of finding our next home. Would absolutely recommend his services to anyone else planning a move in or to Chicago. read more

Amazing experience with this company. Getting ready to sell was a challenge for me emotionally. Eric was an excellent balance of empathetic and business. His enthusiasm and energy helped ease the process for me and he was thoughtful as we made plans and a timeline. The team was amazing and they helped me find the right contractor and the right lawyer. Communication was always timely and we even did almost everything remotely. When the house went to market, it sold in record time and at a great price point. The team was a great support from start to finish. They exceeded my hopes and expectations. read more

Fernando was a very courteous and diligent professional throughout the home buying process. He was attentive without being pushy, always prepared whenever we met or talked, and generally conveyed a sense of honesty and integrity. I found him very trustworthy. read more

We had the most amazing experience with Bob Copeland and the entire team at Eric Marcus Chicago Homes when we decided to purchase our first home. We had worked with Bob previously on the rental side, so it was a no brainer to continue to work with him. What we didn't anticipate was the rest of the team that would be there to help support us in our journey. They truly kept things moving along, kept anxiety levels as low as possible, and were partners through and through. While we aren't anticipating moving any time soon, we will absolutely turn to Eric Marcus and his team for support for all of our real estate needs. Thanks again for everything!

We decided to move from California due to very high expenses and home prices. Also, we have family and friends nearby in Chicago. My son hooked me up to Fernando who was a great agent. He was very patient and responsive whenever I reached out with questions and completed everything in a timely manner. I'm happy to report that everything went as smoothly as possible. read more

Eric, Femie, Fernando and the rest of the team were fantastic to work with from start to finish. As first-time home buyers, we found the experience simple and enjoyable due to the level of care they put into each step. Working with them during a chaotic few months in the housing market made us feel even more confident that we had the right team on our side. The entire team did a great job communicating throughout the process and were always available for questions. Instructions and action items were clear and we fully trusted they had our best interests in mind. We are incredibly happy with our new home thanks to Eric and everyone else at Eric Marcus Chicago Homes! read more

one of the best experiences I have ever had April Bruc. Larry Spain and Sherrie Shannon made this process much easier I felt like I was purchasing a multi million dollar property and I was the most important client they had. I highly recommend this team. read more

I'm a first-time home buyer and Bob, Eric, Amy, and the Eric Marcus team was all very helpful and a pleasure to work with. They were all very communicative and accomodating, no matter the issue at hand or the question. Specifically, I worked with Bob Copeland, who had helped me find two prior rental apartments. Once as a college student a few years back, and another during the height of covid in 2020. Each time he was great, and each time really made the whole process as easy and pain-free as possible. Down the line if I ever make another move, I definitely plan on working with them again and will continue to refer any of my friends that are looking for a place. read more

Working with Bob Copeland was a pleasure. He helped me find my very first home. I am extremely amazed at the level of service this company provided me. Bob was always available when I had questions and was so patient with me. They gave me trust and confidence in taking this big step. Femy was also amazing at getting to me quickly. I would 100% recommend them. read more

Eric is a wonderful realtor. A great demeanor and personable fellow. Found us a wonderful house, perfect for our growing family and negotiated well for a great price. Highly recommended. read more

If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable, trustworthy, no games realtor look no further than Eric Marcus Chicago Homes at Keller Williams ONEChicago. We decided to move out of Chicago to Brookfield to be closer to family. In the beginning of the process Eric asked us what we were looking for and a price range. He had great follow up questions and had an understanding of what we were looking for in a home. As we looked for homes, we realized that they were selling very fast. We started to get a bit anxious and ready to put an offer on anything in fear that we would not find a home (talk about buyer's remorse). Eric did an amazing job keeping us focus, those follow up questions I mentioned earlier came in handy to remind us what our end game was. I will be honest at first I thought, well I have the right to change my mind but I decided to trust the process and my realtor and I am glad I did. We are in our PERFECT (actually more than perfect if that's possible) home. Eric and his wonderful team made the whole process easy. They took the time to answer all of our questions and ensured that we understood the process. They made purchasing a home in this current virtual environment painless and stress free. BONUS he sold our then current home as well! It was on contract after our 1st open house which meant no double mortgage for us which then meant a very happy accountant husband! The listing of our home was so beautifully made that it encouraged 1sttime home buyers that were casually looking to move fast for a pre-approval and put in an offer. Now the technical stuff. Eric does a great job doing market research/comparables. He sends the appropriate amount of information so that you do not feel overwhelmed. He does not hold back information for him it is not about the sale or commission is it truly about making sure his client is 110% happy. So, if he sees something that may be wrong with the home or if it doesn't hit our "wants" he will speak up. His negotiation skills are top notch and professional. He uses a great application to schedule showings/inspections/final walk throughs, everything is signed via DocuSign and perfect checklists to ensure our closings and move were seamless as possible. read more

Eric Marcus is just fantastic! He works tirelessly to achieve the best results for each one of his clients and his staff are all top notch. After being in the business for 20 years I have never seen a team work so efficiently from start to finish. read more

I have several mortgage clients that have used Eric for real estate brokerage services. Many agents never reach out to me about their buyer clients. Eric seems to really care about his clients and wants to see them in a mortgage product that works best for the client and their financial situation. Eric is knowledgeable about our various products and we work together with clients to come up with the best mortgage solution for their situation. Eric and his assistant, Marisa, are on top of client deadlines, condo questionnaires, coordinating appraisals and communication with attorneys. I highly recommend Eric for your next purchase! read more

Eric Marcus also helped me find my first condo in Chicago. I was new to Chicago and he was very helpful in helping me navigate the various neighborhoods. Mostly importantly, I was impressed with his patience with me and the thoroughness of his work. He worked with me through all stages of the process and was present at all important meetings such as home inspection and closing, which I appreciated. Actually, I was so impressed with him, that I went to work for him as an agent two years later as he did a great job staying in touch with past clients. read more

We can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had listing our Deerfield home with Eric Marcus and his team. After living in our house for 19 years we sold it to move cross country for a job opportunity. With the housing market at a high Eric helped us act quickly to get the house ready to list and had a great strategy on collecting offers to drive up the price. In only four days on the market we had five offers, all above asking price. Eric explained the offers in detail and guided us on which offer to accept. Eric and his team were professional, responsive and communicative and took the stress out of a stressful time. Eric even recommended a long distance moving company that a client had used and liked. We had interviewed three movers and his recommendation was less expensive and very professional and easy to work with. From start to finish we couldn't have been more satisfied with our Deerfield home sale experience. We would undoubtedly recommend Eric Marcus and his team for their smooth, stress-free and friendly business approach. read more

Eric Marcus Real Estate Group was phenomenal! Patrick was my agent and I couldn't have asked for someone better! I was pretty picky in the beginning but Patrick was patient and super knowledgeable on every property. He kept of all my "wants" in mind when showing me properties without going over my budget. He spent weeks looking with me until we found the perfect home, and we did! :) Patrick is an agent you want in your corner. When my lender turned out to be horrible, Patrick stepped in and starting collecting documents from the condo association on behalf of my lender, going above and beyond his duties to make sure the process was as easy as possible for me given the circumstances of having such a poor lender. Patrick knows so much about Chicago and the homes and I highly suggest using him next time you are looking! He really did a great job and made me and my entire family feel comfortable. I am all moved in now and am so grateful for Patrick for helping me find my dream home! Thank you, Patrick and Eric Marcus Real Estate Group! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The managing broker Eric Marcus did a phenomenal job finding my condo on a short time frame of a month. He was very thorough and professional with the purchase while assisting me with any questions as a first time home buyer. I'll contact ESM in the future for any of my realty needs. read more

I am so grateful to Eric Marcus [Real Estate]. While I had a ton of variables during my home search, Eric was my constant and truly my advocate. I trusted them completely and he was always 100% honest and transparent with me. Their patience and kindness is unparalleled. They have a fantastic team - I'd recommend using all of his referrals (I didn't and looking back I know it could have been an even easier process). I felt very taken care of throughout the process! What could have been a terrifying process felt like a breeze working with them. Thanks a million! read more

Want to sell your home?!!!! Eric does a great job. He listed our condo and got us into our new single family home. He has an excellent network of advertising his properties and gets tons of showings for his listings. We have referred him to many friends and clients of our own. He was always available for us when we wanted to go out and see homes and has a super possitive attitude. Eric knows the Chicago market, neighborhoods and can help you get into the perfect house. read more

I've worked with Eric numerous times in the past and he's a great real estate professional. What's best about Eric that his past clients keep on coming back to him for their second and third purchases or home sales which talks volumes of his level of service. read more

Risa was AMAZING. We are first-time home buyers who knew very little about the process and Risa made it feel like a piece of cake. When showing us places, she seemed to know us far better than we knew ourselves (we credit her 100% with finding the place of our dreams and budget). She was patient, respectful, responsive (her email response time is second to none). She has mastered the balance of professionalism and personal connection - she was a strong and loyal advocate for us from start to finish and gave us incredibly valuable advice. She was so integral to our process that we even insisted she be in our photo at the end of closing. We love Risa and will recommend her to everyone we know! read more

I have a success story that everyone should be aware of! My condo was on the market for over 15 months with no signs of a sale. I tried for sale by owner; I tried other realtors, but no luck. Eric Marcus was referred to me by a friend. Eric took my listing in mid-December which is a slow time for sales in any real estate market. He quickly put his marketing plan into action. In six short weeks I had 2 offers for my condo and was involved in a bidding war! The really good news is that we did not lower our sales price when we listed with Eric and we sold the property for 99.5% of the asking price! Eric is a person who is honest, has a high level of integrity and is committed to following through with all matters related to a listing. Eric also surrounds himself with a brilliant team at ESM Realty. It was really a pleasure to work with Eric and his team. read more

Eric was my realtor for my condo. He helped me with the process and explained things with great detail. Although buying a condo can be an overwhelming process, with Eric it didn't feel that way. I know he has a lot of clients, but I always felt like his only client. read more

Eric was very helpful and effective in the sale of our condo. We had moved out of town and so we needed someone who would be very responsive and hands on, and he really took responsibility and did some of the dirty work to help close out the sale. He and Suzanne were very attentive to our needs, and made sure we were staying on top of all the things we needed to do to get through closing without an issue. I would strongly recommend Eric Marcus to help buy or sell your place. read more
