It is a fun building, apartments over a town center shop area. The building steps back from the edges with balconies, terraces or large sliders with Juliette railings. Big windows, lots of light. A bit of a cliff dwelling effect. You feel like you are part of a small vibrant town. Very quiet at night, except if they are plowing snow (which we want them to do so not complaining ). Indoor parking, in unit laundry, 2 elevators big enough to move large furniture, pet friendly, walkable surroundings, close to train, Whole Foods, Starbucks, UPS store, nice places to eat, nice parks for exercise. Solid building, only 3 floors, well maintained and quiet. Carpeted halls and stairs, looks like a hotel. Onsite management, responsive and friendly. Exercise room, conference room, every apartment floor plan is different, if you have choices you will have trouble choosing! I did. I went for maximum footage instead of a patio. So many options.

The "kicker" is the check I got from him after the closing (representing 20% of the commission). It will buy a very nice oriental rug for the living room of my new house!

I would not use Picket Fence again, and I do not recommend them. Sue Duchek handled the listing on…read moremy house in Arlington Heights. She gave a pitch that was thorough, and set a price that was higher than other agents'. It took more than two months to get one offer, despite have many showings and getting positive feedback from people who toured the house. The price was lowered repeatedly. And this was when houses were selling super fast during the pandemic (spring-summer 2021). I eventually realized she "bought the listing", as several neighbors had suggested. When I asked her why there were no offers sooner, she mentioned two obstacles (being across from a park, and not having a big backyard); and said she didn't know they would pose problems. Seriously? My house finally sold for more than $60,000 below the original list price. Very dissatisfactory.

Sue Duchek, broker and owner of Pickett Fence Realty, turned the reluctance and anxiety I felt…read moreabout having to use a realtor into gratitude and completely positive feelings about my first time doing so. I had unenthusiastically decided that I would need the help of a realtor to sell a condo I had lived in and owned for 30 years, because I was then living 140 miles away. I was unenthusiastic and reluctant because I am an independent and DIY kind of guy. Nevertheless, my wife and I interviewed several realtors in the Arlington Heights area. We knew in ten minutes we had a match when we met Sue. What impressed us was her calm, mature, friendly, thoughtful, humble and relatable demeanor and the fact that she did not push herself on us despite what we later learned were her manifest qualifications and experience. My point is, Sue is the real deal as a person and you will love working with her. She will tell it like it is and you'll want to hear it. For me, Sue has a great deal of personal credibility and earned my trust early with her nuanced thinking and analysis. She also has a lively sense of humor which, believe me, can serve anyone well in this sometimes fraught and emotional undertaking of real estate sales. Sue guided me through a minefield of difficult decisions in the worst months of the Covid-19 crisis in the spring and summer of 2020. Then she rationally and sympathetically helped me keep the faith through the disappointment of losing two early sales (for reasons beyond our control or influence) until we finally "got our plane on the ground and to the terminal", as our lawyer, Collin Gilbert of Palatine, put it. He was recommended by Sue and turned out to be a great choice. I recommend him as well for his hard work, communications skills and wise advice. I felt that Sue was in the game - my game - with both her head and her heart from the start. I would unconditionally recommend her to anyone seeking a delightful partner and an experienced guide in their real estate journey. If you call her, say "hey" from me.

I was holding onto my condo with the intention of renting it, but decided it was time to let it go.

I am completely grateful for that! There is no other agents I would recommend if you are buying our selling. Their complete dedication to clients and making you feel comfortable throughout the process is just awesome! They are my permanent recommendation for everyone!

I don't make big commitments well either. Therefore, buying a home is close to my worst nightmare. Well, a long exhausting process later, I've awoken in what is pretty much my dream house (within financial reason, at least). I didn't think anyone would be patient enough to deal with me, but I never saw so much as an eye roll while I scoffed at the most minute little flaws of the places that just weren't right. Then it happened, like Goldilocks, I found my perfect fit. They helped me with every little detail up until closing. Made all sorts of calls and appointments, and even met contractors at the house for me. As a first timer, needless to say I was very overwhelmed. However, things could not have gone more smoothly, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
