I'm a first time home buyer and going in to the experience, I was nervous. I knew what I wanted…read moreand what my budget was. I contacted the Leslie McDonnell Team since I'd received their postcards in the mail over the years. They were very nice on the phone and sent Joan Meredith out to my home to meet me. Joan was wonderful, she talked to me about what I was looking for and what I could expect during the process of looking for a home. That was almost a year ago. Today I closed on my first home. For nearly a year Joan kept in touch with me, e-mailing me new listings in the towns I'd be interested in living in. We went to see at least a dozen properties in all sorts of weather. Joan never made me feel like I was being pressured or like I was wasting her time. She always has a positive attitude. When I finally found the right home for me she was on vacation, but that didn't stop her. She made my deal happen while she was out of town, which I really appreciated. I'd definitely recommend Joan Meredith and the Leslie McDonnell Team.

She patiently answered every question not only associated with homebuying but also with settling down in this area. Most importantly, she was honest in her opinions.

I was concerned about leaving the house empty for another winter and really needed the house to sell. Living across the country, I really relied on Elizabeth to handle very specific details in getting the house improved for relisting. She came through masterfully and timely and was able to get this house improved in key ways to make it show well after it becoming stale for 10 mos. I got 2 offers on the same day after just 3 weeks of listing with her. She handled the entire process very smoothly and worked with our relocation company to bring this house to a close in less than 30 days. I wish I would have discovered her much earlier. Highly recommend Elizabeth for the sale of your home.

Even though we had several very specific requirements for a home, Susan worked with us patiently and always contacted us as soon as any desirable listings hit the market (day or evening). Although two other offers were made on our house the same day as ours, Susan's expert negotiation skills closed the deal and secured a beautiful home for us. We can't imagine a more positive home-buying experience. Susan is a hard-working, dedicated professional who is also charming and considerate, and it was a joy to work with her from start to finish!

Dan sold our seemingly unsellable house TWICE!…read more We lived in a very unique home and were eager to move. A previous realtor had the listing for months with no interest/movement. We met Dan through a mutual friend and decided to give him a try. Dan was great. It was a little tough to hear the truth when it came to the changes we needed to make. But we made those changes and complete with Dan's marketing and reach...voila! The house sold. Those buyers backed out in the 11th hour. We panicked. No need. Dan found another buyer. All went through and we closed quickly. My husband gutted and rehabbed a home in 2008. Clearly, we did not foresee what was about to happen to the housing market. But Dan sold that home. It was the only home to sell in Libertyville that month. We have recommended Dan to friends and, honestly, complete strangers should a conversation strike about home buying and selling. All have been thrilled! We lean on Dan for any home advice and recommend him confidently!

As a seasoned professional his insight into the market, the team he brought with him (mortgage broker, attorney and staff) were available 16 hours a day and all weekend! The communication was over the top fantastic. Dan had a family vacation planned during our offer process and some negotiations. He asked us to work with his team member Mary who did not miss a beat! She made us feel as though we were her only client. Texts and calls at 9, 10 at night were not unusual. We never felt like they were put out! NEVER! We would highly recommend Dan, Mary and their entire team to guide you through your journey of homeownership whether it's your first time or 10th time purchasing a home! I promise you will not be disappointed!

Even though we had a few hiccups with others involved in the home-buying process, Greg was there every step of the way to make it a memorable and enjoyable experience! He is extremely responsive and was always willing and available to take a phone call, zoom call, or text. He also gave us great suggestions and explained exactly how the whole process works -- which was especially great as neither myself nor my partner had ever bought a house before! My partner especially liked Greg because when he first started getting into contact with Greg about houses, Greg made sure to also ask about me and my feelings and included me on everything, when other realtors we reached out to did not. Thanks so much Greg! We are so grateful for your help and appreciate the time and care you took with us! We will definitely be recommending Greg Anderson!

She very clearly was a snob when she looked at the home, did not see any value in it at all and made assumptions that were completely untrue about the owner and the house. Wouldn't look at the entire house. Asked really inappropriate questions and said sellers are only trying to get out of their mortgages. Evidently she is stuck in 2008 and doesn't know the real estate market in Chicago is making it's way back. If you have a million dollar house in Libertyville I'm sure she loves you. If you have a 100k house in Waukegan expect to be talked down to, be asked questions that are none of her business, et cetera. I've bought and sold a lot of homes and have never experienced anything like her. It's a fundamental character flaw to treat people differently and to not do what you say you will do.
