We could have not asked for more from Erica and her team! My fiancé and I were looking for our…read morefirst home and did not know where to begin the search or what to do to buy a home. Erica took the time to patiently and clearly talk us through the process, get to know us on a professional and person level, and made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for both of us. Erica was able to take our descriptions of a dream home and find us several great options right away, She was constantly there to support and made us feel incredibly comfortable expressing our opinions as we began to see homes throughout the city and identify features we liked and did not like. Erica was always - and I mean ALWAYS - available when we needed her and was willing to communicate with us in a format and cadence we felt comfortable with. She made the experience simple and enjoyable - removing a lot of the stress/pain points I had expected to encounter through her calming demeanor and constant support. Most importantly - Erica gave us great trust in her ability to find us a home and negotiate a deal that benefited us. When we found the home we were willing to purchase she was creative in her approach for offers and saved my fiancé and I thousands of dollars compared to what we originally thought we would have needed to offer and spend. She had an incredible knowledge of the city, and incredible knowledge of how to negotiate to get us a great deal, and an incredible willingness to fight for us as her client. I could not recommend anyone more highly and would encourage everyone to work with Erica as you work to buy or sell your next property!

I highly recommend Judy Dempcy Homes and specifically Rob Cole-Dempcy as a realtor. Earlier this…read moreyear, I became the executor of an estate which included a house in O'Fallon, IL that was then unoccupied and needed to be sold. I live in the Dayton, OH area, about a five to six hour drive away, so travelling to the house on a regular basis was not convenient. Rob and his entire staff went far beyond what was required to sell the house; to include recommending specific upgrades to modernize the house fixtures for sale (he even texted photos of specific model light fixtures that would help the resale value), coordinating schedules with various contractors to allow them access to the home, and just checking on the property on a nearly daily basis. The previous owner was a smoker, and Rob worked tirelessly to eradicate the stubborn smell of cigar smoke so that the house would be appealing to non-smokers. After several months of work, we had a house that looked, felt and smelled like new construction, and recently sold to become a home for a new family for a good price. When I was initially looking for a realtor, I interviewed several in the area that were recommended online and by reputation within the realtor community. After selecting Rob, another realtor that I had interviewed but did not select asked me why I did not select her. I explained to her all that Rob offered to do since I was not in the local area to help make this long-distance home sale easier for me. She openly admitted that she would not have done any of the extra things that Rob Cole offered to do - and then did - to make this sale happen more quickly and easily. I applaud her honesty, but more so I applaud Rob's professionalism and dedication. I would absolutely use him again and recommend that others do so as well.

I would never suggest anyone to use Judy Dempcy Homes. I would walk to a different company so you…read moredon't miss your chance on the home you want! I was using Rob Cole as my agent. We were working through some homes and when I found one I liked he said he would look into it for me. I had to call him back 3 days later to see if he had contacted the other agent so we could put an offer on the house. He said he had not and would do it that day. I called him next day and had to leave a message. I called him back the day after thinking he was busy and he said he had not contacted them yet. I called another agent after two days of waiting to hear from Rob Cole to get things moving and found out that the house was sold yesterday and I had missed my chance to buy my dream home. I would never use Rob Cole or any company he works for.

Well this realtor "team" had a sign for several days in front of an immediate occupancy house stating they would be there from 1130 to 130. We stop by at 100pm and no one was there. I called the number on the phone. Finally, got ahold of someone. There was no "I'm sorry" just "it was right in the paper". Um helllloooooo! Who buys a newspaper anymore? Let alone when buying property? Everyone looks on line. Try zillow.com it's pretty neat. Makes me wonder why you need people like this. Also the text in the photos reads kinda funny? Like they were doing well only screwing up one sign this week? Wtf!!! I would be so pissed if I was selling my house especially immediate occupancy to be represented like this. I hope these goofballs are a 3% commission team, because otherwise you can't afford their quality. Signed a disappointed doctor with a 752 credit score and my bank's pre-approval letter.

I rented an Apt from Hughes Group Real Estate in O'Fallon, IL…read more After reading several reviews online about their keeping of damage deposits for no reason given, I took pictures of the old, damaged doors , scratched shelves in the kitchen, holes in screens, etc. I kept a copy and gave them a copy. Before the end of lease, we cleaned vigorously and left the Apt in good condition. Again, I took pictures and showed them to the office as I turned in keys. After a month, I had not received any notice in the return of the $950 deposit. So I emailed. After several weeks they said it would not be returned, but they gave no reason. The A/C went out several times, and the back bedroom door would swell and get stuck on the frame. I noticed a crack but didn't know if it was our fault, so I offered to pay half. They added another $345 to the $950. The owner said nothing would be returned to us, but gave no reason. So, like several other Hughes Group Realty tenants who complained online like me, I did not receive due process in the deprivation of $950 plus $345 damage deposit. Since they are licensed by the State they should abide by Illinois State Law and Federal Law. "No State shall deprive a person of LIfe, Liberty, or Property without the due process of law. They have an attitude of just doing whatever they want to do. I am steering clear of this business and it makes me sad that in our area we have a company that is abusive of tenant rights. They never stated a reason for keeping my deposit and charging me additional monies so Beware of Hughes Group Realty in O'Fallon, IL.

After you begin working with him, it will only take you a few interactions to understand why.

In my opinion, when a buyer finds a home they want to make an offer on, this is where Joe shines. He is able to negotiate favorable terms for his buyers, he's able to provide guidance when it comes to the whole house inspection & he's able to keep his buyers on track to meet a closing deadline.

We managed to find the house for us within a week and the day we decided to put in an offer she sat down with us on a Saturday evening to walk us through the best plan for putting in an offer to give us the best chances of getting the house and for the best price possible. After we went under contract she helped organize all the inspections and make our list of fixes to request to the seller (all of which were accepted). I was extremely nervous going into the home buying process but Cameron was the best person to have throughout it.
