Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and empathetic. He was able to deftly guide us…read morethrough the process of selling our home and the absurdities of the current market to a safe landing. Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

She has years of experience in the field, which is evident in the recommendations she makes and the network of connections she has built. She is an amazing listener, taking time to learn what you want a home so she can help you find it. She has a keen eye for assessing the pros and cons of each home you tour, sharing her knowledge of design, remodeling costs, resale value, & red flags. Her calm demeanor & steady guidance were a welcomed balance to the fast pace & stress of home buying. She was a delight to work with throughout each stage of the process! I have already recommended Lisa to several of my friends & will continue to do so, because I have seen how impactful it is to have an extraordinary real estate agent like Lisa.

Alan and Karen are such great people that really love their job and it shows. They helped us find…read moreour dream home and helped us sell our house. The process was very well explained and they both were extremely patient with all our questions we had. We met Alan at an open house and he was so nice and very personable. I knew right away that this is who we wanted to work with. We met Karen a few days later and she was just like Alan; Fantastic! They found some houses that matched our criteria and we went to look at them. There was no pressure and they were very knowledgeable about everything. I can't say enough about them being so patient and really wanting the best for us. If you're looking to sell or buy I strongly recommend contacting them. We have been in our home a few years now, and love it. We also recently sold our investment property with them, and they handled all renovations & the process of the sale making it a hands off process for us. Thank you for everything and making us smile everyday about working with you.

Our…read moreproperty manager, Giemar Capul has been hands down the best property manager I have ever worked with. He answers his phone when homeowners contact him. He returns calls. If he doesn't have an answer to a homeowner's question or problem he works to find an answer. He is very conscientious. He even works while he is on vacation. The difference between working with Mperial and our former management company is night and day. Numerous homeowners have come up to me and expressed how delightful it is to deal with Giemar and Mperial. It is such a please to work with Mperial and Giemar.

Giemar is very communicative and responds quickly to my concerns. I requested tree branches be removed from behind my unit due to squirrel activity and he reached out to the appropriate vendor immediately. When the vendor only removed one of the branches I requested, Giemar again reached out to the tree people to inquire why. They said there'd been an error and they were out within a day to finish the job. In all regards, Giemar has replied quickly and I have not been left to wonder if anyone received my email. He is pleasant and professional and I thank you for providing good service and a good experience.

My fiance and I worked with Izzy as our realtor. He was AWESOME. This was our first home buying…read moreexperience and we are so glad that we worked with Izzy. During our home buying experience, we first met with another realtor. This was the first time we had looked at house (which she knew) and while we were looking at the house, she stayed very quiet. Didn't really inform us on anything. Didn't really explain much to us. She was just there. Anyway, we didn't like the house and moved on. We used the app Redfin to filter through houses that we wanted to see. Izzy was the realtor advertised on each of the houses in the areas we were looking. We met with him on the first house we saw and instantly liked him. We looked around the house and during our visit he actually talked to us about the home buying process, what to expect, etc. He was very informative and gave us a good background of his experience in real estate (which was good! He said he closed around 70 houses in 2014). Again, since this was our first time buying, he was so great in helping us from day one. We sent him several houses to look at and we went on a couple of different trips throughout a span of possibly 3 to 4 weeks. As we went through each house, he shared with us information that was helpful. I appreciated his honesty and knowledge. On our last house visit, we were debating on two houses. One of houses we really liked was a split level home and had two bedrooms. One bedroom was in the basement. We didn't mind it at first, but then he explained to us that even though it is good for now, it will be difficult in the future for selling. He explained it could be a hard sell to get people to buy a place with a bedroom in the basement. Starting families will most likely not be comfortable having the kid's bedroom far away from theirs. Anyway, the reason for that story was to show you an example of how helpful and honest he was. He was not trying to sell us on a house right way or just get us to like a house and go. He was actually trying to find a house that worked for US. I really appreciated that. He was also easy to get a hold of and helped us with any questions or concerns we had. He was great! I would highly recommend Izzy for your home buying experience!

Because of the seller, the closing of our home was difficult, but Israel kept us informed, gave sound advise, and worked hard to make our dream of owning a home a reality.

With this last move, we relocated out of town and wasn't in IL to do various activities to facilitate selling of the home.

At that time, we decided to take our house off the market. That was more than a month ago.

Until this point, we would work with them again in a year or two after doing some upgrades on our house and saving some more money. Not anymore.
