We purchased a home in Glen Ellyn through Gracik Makinney in May of 2010. We had a specific kind of…read moreproperty in mind and a long list of 'must haves'. Tom worked patiently with us to find exactly the right property at a price we could afford. We were first time homebuyers, and he went above and beyond in terms of guiding us through the 'murky waters' of the purchase process. I can't recommend this group enough. If you're upfront with them about what you want and what you can spend, they'll find your dream house for you.

This is the 3rd time we have used Real Estate Resource Home Loans (Chuck U) in Orland Park, IL. I…read morewill use them everytime. They make what is typically a very hectic process easy & seamless. The communication each time with Chuck has been ABOVE & BEYOND. No question ever unanswered. I wanted to YELP this information to share this with home buyers. You can live anywhere and they can help anywhere. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you offer home buyers. It does not go un-noticed. We cannot be more happy with the services of Chuck & his team! Silvia M.

My experience with this lender really negatively impacted my view on home buying. After wasting a…read moremonth of our time and making us believe we were going to close, we were denied and ignored. We spent a lot of time and money trying and we jumped through every hoop asked of us. I'm so disappointed in Jennifer Zenere and the fact that she could not even provide my employment verifications to me to help us possibly save the home we were trying to buy. Our whole household was really hurt over this process and there was zero concern. The employment verifications could have helped us close on our house and she ignored our request and our lenders request further extending the process. She really got our hopes up and put us through a lot of unnecessary stress. Every day there was something new to do and we completed all of the tasks just to be treated like we meant nothing. It's a bad way to do business and I hope no one ever has to experience this because it has really took a lot out of me and my family mentally and emotionally. Very poor customer service and over all lack of appreciation for the people that invested their money and time into them. As soon as she couldn't close the loan she completely ghosted everyone involved and that was unprofessional. I wish I would have started with the lender we have now and never experienced this with real estate resource because it completely tainted our home buying experience.

The Moy Group (Shelly and Danielle) were absolutely amazing! From start to finish they made me feel…read morelike their top priority. They were such a hardworking team -- answering calls and messages late at night, on weekends, or whenever I needed them. I never once felt like I was bothering them, and they were always there with helpful advice and guidance. Not every realtor in my experience is like this (they literally work 7 days a week). They were also fantastic negotiators and I always felt like I had the best people in my corner. They were always be honest and upfront with me and provided all the information about the property laid out in front of me to make the final decision. A home is one of the largest financial investments in your life, you absolutely cannot have any hiccups in this competitive market. Glad I went with them.

It was such a stressful time. Looking back, I can't believe the time and effort she put in to help me. I bet it was the lowest sale in Tinley Park the entire year, maybe a decade. However, I felt like the most important client. Since then, we've bought and sold several properties with her. I wouldn't use anyone else. She's treated us with the same urgency and focus regardless of the cost of the deal. I've called her endless times over the years for recommendations on contractors. She is amazing and incredibly responsive. I highly recommend her.

I signed mortgage contract with Marie Clucas at the Remax location 850 Brookforest Ave in Shorewood…read moreIL. I wasn't sure why this contract like most wasn't sent to me in a PDF docusign and why I needed meet in their shared office but we scheduled a time to get the paperwork signed. Mare informed me there were no other offer on this particular home. We wrote the offer on 11/6 and I waited patiently for a response from the sellers (as of today 11/15 I never received a response or rejection). On 11/7 Marie emailed me stating the house was still active BUT Kathy Dames is waiting on another buyers financing to be approved; and those buyers offered 270k so the sellers want 270k for the home. Marie also told me if I offered 264k the sellers might consider my offer. I reached out to Marie all week looking for an update on my offer of course NOTHING!! So I called my attorney on 11/14 who informed me I had the right to contact the seller. I called the sellers on 11/14, I introduced myself, I also explained she did not have to give me any information on offers, I just wanted to confirm that my 1st Offer was presented to her on 11/6. Of course the seller stated " I never got an offer from you last week, but I got your offer today". I shared with seller that that was my 2nd offer, I had to go to another realtor just to get my offer submitted. I called Kathy Dames owner/broker of Remax (850 Brookforest Ave Shorewood, IL) on 11/15 to request proof that my offer was submitted on 11/6 and she told me my offer was rejected. I then asked for time stamped proof that my offer was rejected and she said she would have the sellers write a letter. I declined their letter; I asked again that she forward me the email that was sent to the seller on 11/6, she refused. I told Kathy that I was very upset that I missed the opportunity to purchase a home and that I would also file a complaint against her and her agency. Kathy said " and I'm filing a complaint against you for being a "NUISANCE" I told her I wasn't a nuisance but a buyer in the market for a home. Of course she hung up on me. This is called home buyer discrimination and suppression. It's been almost 24 hours and still no proof that my offer was present last week!! Because of this shady office and the frauds they have working I have missed the opportunity to purchase a home!!
