I ran across the listings Adrien had online and suddenly I knew I was in the right place! After sending him 30, yes 30, emails in a single weekend with all these random thoughts I had about what I wanted - he spent a majority of his Saturday walking me through several places. It's quite obvious he'd listened to everything I wanted because these places had it all and were in my budget! I've sent 6 friends to him and he's been able to work his magic for all of them, as well! His response time is lightning fast and his honesty and integrity are unmatched. I would never go to anyone else ever again!

Danny came highly recommended and unfortunately he did not live up to the expectations. If you want…read morea Realtor that is proactive with his communication, Danny is not your guy. We constantly had to reach out to him for feedback. We had to reach out to him after open houses and showings for feedback. We had to suggest to him ways of making our second bedroom, it was a little smaller, more attractive to buyers. We had to point out to him a similar unit to ours had a 10k price drop and had since been sold a week prior. We never felt our sale was a priority to him at all. His assistant Matt was great, and that's why i'm giving the rating I am for the service we received from him not from Danny. Perhaps Danny is great in the suburbs, but if you need to sell a condo in the city, think twice about choosing him. JPB

His compensation came much more from the latter, but that did not effect the effort he put into selling the condo, despite it being after the home purchase was done. He did a great job marketing it, resulting in multiple offers after one single showing, and got us an unbelievable $50,000 over asking price - a price I had thought was fair from the start! It was obviously an excellent result, and so nice to not have to be out of the house multiple times for showings. He was always personally present for everything, not sending underlings. Very responsive on text, email, or call, and used the best form of communication based on what we were discussing - this will be more efficient to just discuss quickly with a call rather than going back and forth on text, for example. Thank you for making a stressful process (while very pregnant) smoother than we thought possible!)

I would absolutely recommend working with Matt to all friends and family and plan to work with him again in the future!

I started out with the naive hopes of finding a diamond in the rough, and after moving every year for about 5 years through college, and finally to Chicago, was ready for a place to settle into for a few years and actually unpack that last box. However, between the researching of places, and the scheduling for viewings, etc. I got overwhelmed . . . and maybe a little panicked at times. I contacted Joanna, who literally removed an enormous weight from my shoulders. She drove me herself to knock out 8 apartments in a day, where we found one that fit all my criteria. But a week later, I got a call from Joanna saying that the landlord wasn't sure if the apartment would be vacant with less than a month before the termination of my then lease. Without Joanna, that would have completely done me in. Instead, she picked me up and took me straight to a specific apartment she thought I'd love. She was absolutely right! I got an amazing studio in my ideal location, with great street parking, that fell happily short of my maximum rent ceiling - and I finally unpacked every last box. She was AMAZING, and I honestly can't thank her enough. If ever you need a place in the future, absolutely seek out her expertise, as I will.

His support included helpful checklists and clear communication at all times. I always felt like I knew what was going on which was very reassuring. I found Matt to be extremely knowledgeable and proactive. My selling process had an extra layer of complication due to the involvement of a condo board and management company. Matt made this part of the puzzle significantly less stressful. His team was equally strong, including both his colleagues at Fulton Grace and those in his professional network whom he recommended to me for photography, legal needs, etc. I was very fortunate to connect with Matt through a family recommendation and I would absolutely work with him again if I ever had to buy or sell property in Chicago.

Matt walked us through the entire process, listened to every single item on our wish list, and curated a search that hit every mark. Thanks to his expertise, we found our dream condo in a neighborhood we hadn't even considered and knew nothing about. Matt was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process; he would routinely respond within seconds--even after hours--to ensure our questions were answered and any worries were addressed. The speed at which he works is unmatched. As soon as we found a listing we liked, Matt jumped into action, and we were signing the lease within five days. He truly knows how to get things moving and has a deep understanding of the local landscape. My fiancé and I both agree that this is the best service we have ever encountered. I will be recommending Matt to anyone looking for a home!

We had two agents come out to give us their opinions on what to fix/paint etc. The first guy just walked quickly through, telling us not to sink anything into "this price point". No, it's not a million dollar condo, but it's nice, and we loved it for our starter home in a great neighborhood. Mike came in, and treated us and our condo just like someone that cares should. He took lots of pictures, studied the neighborhood, told us what we needed to fix, and what was in good shape. His wife does staging for homes. He brought all the pictures to her to get her expert opinion. We took her advice, (that was great), they staged it for us beautifully!! All while we are now living out of town. Mike went above and beyond to help us while we couldn't be there. He was always available if we had questions or concerns. It seems like he just really cares. Well, Mike sold my friends condo in a week, like I said. Never thought we would be so lucky. Mike sold ours before he even listed it on the MLS!!! WHAT??!! We are so grateful to him, and would recommend him in a heartbeat! Thank you, Mike and Becky!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!…read more I was referred to Mike because of his expertise in the Chicago area, specifically the northern and northwestern suburbs. As a first-time home buyer, I was nervous about getting a realtor who was more concerned about selling me a home, than helping me find the perfect home and because of that, I'm glad we found Mike. Mike is not a realtor who is just looking to sell, but he wants to make sure his clients find the home that is right for them, even if it takes more time. During our search, Mike walked through houses with us and pointed out issues, that we would not have otherwise seen. If we had concerns about a property, or wanted to know more about the history, Mike was very quick to get us answers. I know several other people who have used him and they all recommend him as well. If you are looking for a realtor who is familiar with the area and knows what to reasonably expect from the market, Mike is your guy. I will definitely be using him again in the future.
