They really understand the Chicago market and know what strategies work best in every situation, whether selling, buying, or renting. We were guided through the selling process with great advice on updates and connections to get them done quickly. They also handled negotiations on our new home with our best interests in mind. The whole team was knowledgeable, supportive, and truly client-focused. read more

Kit and Ashley were absolutely amazing in helping us to purchase an apartment for our son. We are from Texas and were not able to attend much in person. From start to finish they helped us through the process. They did virtual tours with us, walked us through every step of the process (which differs from state to state), helped with recommendations for each step, were available for inspections and basically anything we needed. I would highly recommended them for your needs in the Chicago area as you will not be disappointed. read more

We own two condo's on Lake Shore Dr. that we use as rentals, and for the first time in 24 years both came up for renewal at the same time and right when we were looking for a new realtor to handle the listings. This totally stressed me out big time as we actually live in Alaska over 3500 miles away, not to mention the 3-hour time difference. However, when we got online and started reading all the amazing reviews on Kit Welch and her teammate Ashley Kammrath, we just knew it was going to be ok if we were to work with them, and it was! In fact, it was so much more then 'ok'. Both Kit and Ashley were beyond helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and involved with literally every single step of the way. And in the end, we now have two awesome renters in our units and we owe it all to the amazing Kit Welch and Ashley Kammrath, who just happen to be the best realtors we have ever had the pleasure of working with and will continue to work with them in the future. read more

Kit is absolutely phenomenal. In the past I had used her to rent apartments and buy my condo. 3 years later, I'm using her to rent out my condo as I try another city! I contacted her on Sunday about renting, we signed Monday with her, she took pictures on tuesday and by Wednesday the listing was up. By Thursday night, we had offers OVER ASK because she had connections to specific listing sites. Kit ROCKS, was incredibly punctual, responsive, energetic and lovely. I share her info with all of my friends and family in chicago!!!! read more

Kit is a wonderful agent and we are so glad that we had the opportunity to work with her. We were relocating from Seattle to Chicago and she helped to make our home buying process run so smoothly. We simply cannot recommend her enough- her attention to detail, her knowledge of the Chicago area and her overall friendly and relatable approach is unmatched. read more

After interviewing several agents, we chose Kit to sell our home of 13 years - and we're so, so glad that we did - because she took the time to get to know us, understand what our goals were, and see the true value of our unique property. All of her recommendations were spot on, and her encouragement throughout the process helped us feel at ease amidst the many uncertainties and stresses of selling a home. She brings great energy to every meeting, is both professional and friendly, and clearly loves what she does. In the end, we were thrilled to receive a great offer from wonderful buyers on the day of our first open house. Thank you, Kit!!! read more

I found Kit on Yelp! I wanted to use a Baird & Warner agent because I had such a good experience with them buying my present home. Kit helped me sell my condo in the city. Her work is attentive and professional. Never once was she not on the ball and the condo sold for a great price. I would definitely use her if you need a realtor in Uptown or anywhere on the north side. read more

My husband and I were looking to buy our first home. After reading many reviews of different realtors, we decided to call Kit and talk to her. She was able to answer all of my questions very clearly, and from the beginning I knew that I wanted to work with her. Kit has a team of people that she works with, so the process of buying a home was easy, from securing the loan to getting the inspection, and working with the lawyers. Even though we still did our own research, Kit's recommendations made our decisions simple. When visiting properties, Kit is very thorough, and she knew which areas of the house to check for common problems. If she had concerns about any of the properties, she would bring them up quickly and gave us the information that we needed to make an informed decision. When we had a question about the floors in the condo that we ended up buying, Kit was able to schedule a consultation with a hardwood flooring expert. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have her guidance in setting that up. Kit was friendly, patient, and available throughout the entire process. Her ability to coordinate the different aspects of home buying is incredibly useful, especially for a first time home buyer. I am so glad that we used her as our real estate agent, and I would recommend her to anyone. read more

Kit was fantastic to work with. As a first time buyer, trying to buy in the midst of COVID, she was a great choice for me because she helped explain to me what was happening in the market and helped to manage my expectations. She was very responsive to my requests for showings and asked all the right questions when we were looking at properties. She has been in the business for a long time and also helped me find a good lender, lawyer, and handyman. I would highly recommend Kit to other first time buyers! read more

Kit is great. I did a search here on Yelp for help finding an apartment. Several companies replied, some did not. She was very responsive and immediately had someone help me. She then followed up to make sure everything was OK. This is the only company out of all those listed in the search/help tool here that took the time to actually show apartments to me and talk to rental agents and property managers, not just send me the listings. Her office and the service provided was great! They provided virtual tours of prospective units until I found one!! Anyone looking for a home to buy or an apartment to rent should call Kit. Their Renter/Buyer representation is the best. They really do make sure you are Ok. read more

Kit Welch was and amazing/outstanding realter. I am a first time buyer on time of it, Out-Of-State. She took very good care of me and assisted with any questions I had along the way. When it came to the final legal steps, she kept me at a Zen and was able to relax my nerves. Looking forward to working with her again and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. read more

Kit is an incredibly knowledgable, passionate, and caring agent and most notably is deeply rooted in local community organizations. She is not merely engaging in real estate transactions, she is front and center at making Chicago a wonderful place to live and helping individuals and families transition through one of life's big decisions with care and support. read more

Kit helped me sell my first home, and it was truly a pleasure to work with her. She was extremely proactive, but also very understanding about my concerns (we started discussions during the height of COVID). She provided honest feedback about the watch-outs as I lived in an old building and the transparency made the process much smoother. Highly recommend Kit to anyone looking for a real estate agent. read more

Kit was awesome to work with! She was great at communicating (via text! so easy) through the whole process of several showings and all the way through closing. First time home buying is daunting, but I felt much more confident with her helping me through each step. She also came with great recommendations for services I needed throughout home-buying and moving in. I am thankful I found Kit! PS. She really loves dogs, always a plus. read more

Kit is warm, gracious, a fantastic communicator, and willing to go the extra mile for her clients. Last spring, we mentioned to Kit that we were looking for a cottage in Michigan. She reached out to a realtor who specializes in lake properties in the South Haven area and connected us. The realtor was great--we found an awesome fixer upper that we're in the process of renovating--and Kit would always ask how things were going before we closed. She checks in to see how the renovations are coming along, too. It felt like she was part of the whole experience, and my dude and I really appreciated that :) read more

My son was looking for a condo in the north side of Chicago and Kit worked tirelessly for places that might fit the bill. She'd call with 4-5 places for us to look at in an evening and have everything laid out so we didn't waste time. Really effective use of time. We were pretty picky so we passed on a lot of places before we found the right place. Kit always understood that. Once, we found a place that we really liked, but the inspection showed some real flaws. She spoke up pretty clearly and told us we shouldn't buy that place, and she was right. Now my son is in a place that fit the budget and fits his needs. Kit did a great job navigating through a lot of places to get us to the right one. read more

Kit was amazing! So professional. She's warm and friendly and really listened to what I wanted and needed. We scheduled a few showings in one day and the third showing was exactly what I was looking for. She was so prepared and really on top of things. I was looking for a rental but I'm excited to work with Kit in the near future when I buy. I know she will help me find my exact fit! read more

As a first time buyer, Kit was exactly what I needed and more! Kit took me through the whole process, answered all my questions and was able to connect me to an incredible team of people that made the whole process easy and manageable. When I found my dream condo, her knowledge about the market helped me make an offer that was accepted, out of multiple offers, without a bidding war! She'll be honest and helpful and stay with you every step of the way! read more

Kit was so fantastic to work with. We were planning ahead to buy our first home by 2021 and met with Kit to get acquainted with the process of looking for place to be prepared. We were worried that we were going to be wasting her time by meeting so early but she assured us that the right thing would happen at the right moment and with her help and her team's guidance, we ended up being able to buy the perfect place in just over a year. Kit was supportive and diligent, she listened to what we needed without steering or judging but also offered other possibilities when it seemed we were thinking a bit narrow. Kit is warm, fun, relaxed and on point. I'd highly recommend her as an agent. read more

Having to find a new place to live in a relatively short amount of time was not an enjoyable position to be in. I had some pretty specific requirements relative to location, type of building, parking etc. and I was expecting a pretty stressful experience. Enter Kit Welch. What an amazing person to work with. Kit made sure our searches were well focused, efficient and stress free. She really knows the city and was able to recommend the perfect location for me. I'm now in a new place and it's great! Kit is very skilled at what she does and actually makes the relocation experience enjoyable. I highly recommend her. read more

I got Kit's information from a friend and had a call scheduled within days. She helped me by talking through priorities (with a kindly reality check or two on parking or laundry) and then gave me instructions for narrowing down my search. In one day we visited eight places - incredibly convenient for me, short on weekend time and planning time -- and then Kit facilitated a follow-up with another, less communicative place. I was able to secure the perfect place with minimal fuss, moved in last Monday, and couldn't be happier. read more

Kit Rocks - She helped us with an extensive search for a new home in Chicago, helping us understand our wants, needs and areas that were suitable for us in the Chicago area. We were a little lost at first in the big city but Kit led us in the right direction and asked the right questions and led us down the path for a new place. She made the process easy and painless, was quick to return calls and answer our questions. She had contacts of home inspectors and contractors that we could use. Thanks You !! read more

Our daughter was looking for a condo in the city and she had very specific requirements. Kit really listened and did the homework to help our daughter find a great place in the area she wanted to be in. It went quicker than we expected, in great part due to Kit's hard work, knowledge of the market and city. Highly recommend working with her. read more

Kit helped us purchase our first home. We wanted to visit a number of units in different neighborhoods to help us determine the best place for us and she was so patient in setting up all of the showings and going to all of them with us. She helped us find our dream home with everything we were looking for! I can't say enough about her patience with us throughout the process as first time home buyers. read more

Kit is just simply wonderful! Her professionalism, expertise, willingness to work with us, endless patience and comforting personality knowing that buying a property, commercial or a home is one of the most difficult things one will ever do - is remarkable. We can just thank Kit from the bottom of our hearts, and we will continue utilizing her skill set for any future real estate transactions we will endeavor . read more
