It wasn't easy and we hit about every road block possible! From lender issues to seller issues, Aaron was helpful in every hurdle! When I felt like giving up and sick of the waiting game on getting a "mortgage" Aaron was right there not letting me give up on my dream. I am now an owner of an amazing condo in the Gold Coast with one of the best views in the city! If you want a realtor whose not pushy, professional and really knows the city contact Aaron Gill!

We sent him places we were looking at and he was able to set up appointment and found apartments that he thought I would like. He drove us around and explained the city to us as we passed by places. He ended up showing me the apartment I got.. and it's walking distance to work and dt nightlife! Epoch is AMAZING!!!!! If you are new to the area or just need a new place defiantly give them a call. If you want to get overwhelmed or stuck at a crappy apartment go ahead and do it yourself. BUT if you want an amazing apartment, someone who will keep your wishes in mind, look out for you and feel like your on house hunter... give them a call! you won't regret it!

We needed several estate-planning documents notarized, and it can be surprisingly hard to find a notary who handles everything--signing, stamping, witnesses--efficiently and professionally. Here, it was seamless. Service & Experience *Appointment scheduling was smooth and flexible *Quick responses to initial questions about pricing, witnesses, and requirements *They provided all necessary witnesses on-site *The full notarization process took less than 30 minutes *Pricing was very reasonable given the number of documents we had What Sets Them Apart *Excellent customer service--fast, clear communication from start to finish *Clean, professional setup that makes the process feel easy and stress-free *They also offer apostille services, which is a huge convenience. Instead of navigating government offices downtown or waiting at limited DMV locations, you can simply make an appointment here and get it done without the hassle. Verdict Express Apostille & Notary Services makes a traditionally inconvenient process unbelievably smooth. Great communication, efficient service, reasonable pricing, and the convenience of both notary and apostille offerings in one place. Five stars and highly recommended for anyone needing document services in Chicago.

Andy was a font of knowledge and useful advice, all the while being very efficient with the time we spent touring. Andy was able to pivot and schedule new tours multiple times same day adapting to what was and wasn't working in earlier tours. This was especially appreciated with my busy schedule, and allowed us to get in quite a few tours in a short period of time. Andy also helped with the always challenging process of narrowing down options and weighing pros and cons when I had a short list to finalize. Andys evident long industry experience and knowledge was invaluable in helping me find the ideal apartment. If you're looking for perfect new home and you have the opportunity to work with Andy, I'd recommend you do so!

It takes an entire community to make a building a success and the fact that these people can do this with reckless abandoned means it doesn't exist here. And the mobility in the building! It's like musical chairs! You have one neighbor on day one, and another on day two! My other new nearby neighbor is only gradually moving things in. Often at night, of course. Hey, new neighbors at the end of the hall, I can hear your conversations! I'm glad the mister of the establishment is upset about the commotion they're caused at 10:30 p.m. on a weekday evening, but that didn't prevent the lower class self-entitled Establishment missus from saying "So what? What is Miss Wrightman going to do!" You should have seen her privileged expression of disdain as she hauled a six-foot-tall tree through the halls. Honey, have professional movers do the lifting if you have so much money rather than grandstand like the Queen of Mean. I should never leave my unit without a camera; she and privileged daughter were quite the noisy sight! How about that incessantly yapping dog belonging to yet ANOTHER owner. And, of course, it has to be walked during the small hours of the morning. Has anyone here ever lived in a condo building before? Bottom line, we don't have a building manager at the moment, and the place is quickly going to hell. And I'm told I have it good, too. Way too many university folk here with no regular employment. Well, back to investigating the people with the "open-door policy" :) You contact me with theories about THAT!

My wife and I searched the city for a place from October 2011-April 2012. We looked everywhere…read more We closed on a loft here in April. This was the best deal in the city by far. Sure there are nicer places out there but you will pay a lot more for them. I love the 12 foot ceilings and open floor plan. The finishes here are great as well. Granted it is by the expressway but personally I like that because we have a nice view. If you can find someone selling a place here definately check it out. FYI we are In the new construction part (7th and 8th floors). Keep in mind that there is a drastic difference between these floors and the others if you are looking. The upper two floors have a wall of floor to ceiling windows, no exposed brick and no pillars in the units. The units on the 8th floor all have skylights. The lower units have some support pillars, exposed brick and the only floor to ceiling window is your balcony door. The windows on the side of the door start about waist level. They are still nice though. The finishes are different depending on whether the unit was built by the old or new developer. We love our place, building managent, neighbors and location. Plenty of street parking available too which is great for guests.

She was an absolute delight and a great representation of the rest of her firm. She was very responsive to any questions and concerns my roommate and I had (less than 1 hour after any text/call/email). She also guided us through the application process, making it clear and easy, and was more than understanding of our unconventional income. We're both college students making most of our money in summer internships and part-time jobs, so this understanding was SUPER important for us.

Miller tells you to make a portal request (that also goes ignored). They ended up blocking my number when I simply asked for my parking remote deposit back. It has been over a month since the end of my lease, and they never returned my money. Only after I posted a Google review, they said the parking remote was broken. How would I have moved my car out of a gated parking spot without a functioning remote? When living there, I had dirty water filling up my sink and overflowing onto the wooden floors due to a plumbing issue related to another unit in the building. It took Miller two weeks to send a plumber to fix the issue. I was putting towels down to avoid damage to the floors but the water was non-stop. I was washing my dishes in the tub for two weeks. As seen in the attached photos, I warned them that there would be inevitable water damage from this. I quickly noticed the water damage due to their delay in fixing the plumbing issue. I documented this in the portal with pictures. The portal request, texts, calls and emails went unanswered for months. When I finally got ahold of Andrea Miller on the phone, she told me that the water damage was my fault! She told me to contact my renters insurance, saying the repair was my responsibility! When I demanded flooring contractors to inspect the damage, the contractors laughed and said this was fully the responsibility of Miller management. The damage to my flooring was fixed TEN MONTHS after the plumbing issue. My rent was even raised during this time. See photos attached with dates to het a glimpse of how you will be ignored as a tenant. My lease over October 31st, and when I contacted them to return my deposit for the parking remote/ keys that I returned, they BLOCKED my number! Avoid this management nightmare at all costs.

From the first outreach to tour our first condo, I was immediately impressed by the timeliness of the response from Sam Shaffer at Chicago Properties Firm. He immedtiately connected us with Artette and I feel so lucky to be able to work so closely with her thse past few months. I can't speak highly enough of her and the team at Chi Properties. Her professionalism, honesty, integrity and hard work were very much appreciated and respected. She is very detailed, honest, and just so great to work with. From the first home she viewed with us, to the last, she remember every single detail of things we liked & disliked and as I sent her listing after listing until we found the one, she advised on before even going to the listing if we would like it or not. 10/10 experience with her and the team! When we decide to buy our next home, I will absolutely be using her and the team again as they made this process as seamless as possible.

I cannot rate David highly enough. He was our real estate agent last year as first-time home buyers also expecting our first baby. David was careful to explain every step of the process, and balanced perfectly the delicate line between supporting our decisions and preferences while giving us honest feedback about certain properties. He was incredibly responsive, always in-contact, and always found an answer for us when we reached out with questions. We never felt pressured to make a decision. Even when, earlier this year, we had an issue with our new Jefferson Park condo and needed consulting on our contract, he responded right away and went above and beyond to help us resolve it. David is also just a great, sweet guy. :) We are so incredibly happy with our first home, and we will definitely be contacting David when it comes time for us to make our next move!!
