I am a Chicago Realtor and met Greg at a closing where he was representing the seller on the other side of the deal. As we got the speaking and working through the closing he struck me as unusually honest and forthright. Based on this experience I recommended him to my client on my next transaction. Since then, about 4 years have passed and we have done about $10M in transactions including Greg representing my wife and I on the sale of two Lincoln Park properties that included the creation of a new PIN and other non-traditional elements and he managed it with the confidence of a pro who had done it many times. So, if you want a lawyer who takes the time to explain the process and also is fluent in the Chicago and North Shore markets, I confidently recommend Greg Braun. read more

Greg Braun was critical in helping us buying our family home in Skokie in 2010. Greg came in during our purchase process that was in trouble.

He was knowledgeable, reliable, and experienced. We would not have gotten our home without him. Thanks Greg! read more

I agree with all the 5 star ratings - I located Mr. Braun on Yelp and contacted him for some real estate advice. He was very forthright and told me I really didn't need to go through a process I had assumed was necessary, and saved me ~ $500. Kudos to his high ethical standards. I had talked to another attorney earlier and he coolly ran up a potential $800 retainer fee for this unnecessary procedure, and did not even bother to tell me it was unnecessary. Thanks Mr. Braun. When i need real estate legal help, I know who I will contact. read more
