We could not recommend Lance more highly.

He and the whole LAKE Group Team was incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of homeownership and took the time to explain the ins and outs of the process so we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. From our first tour through closing, he walked us through every step of the way, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood what was happening at each stage. We truly felt like we had someone in our corner throughout the entire process.

My husband and I worked with Matt's team to sell our South Loop condo. Matt himself came to see our…read moreproperty for the initial meeting and we had a great impression of his expertise in the Chicago real estate market. From start to finish, his team is very professional and incredibly well organized. We were kept up to date for each showing and provided with immediate feedback. Matt also has a list of preferred partners such as attorneys that we used and had a great experience with. We also appreciated how reachable Matt was and felt that he had an appropriate level of involvement throughout the entire process.

We had a great selling experience with Matt and his team! Our once-thriving building in…read moreStreeterville (downtown Chicago) has gone through a downturn over the years, so we were concerned about our sales prospects. After meeting with Matt, we felt more hopeful. It was obvious from the start that he was knowledgeable about the building, its history, the target demographic, and the real estate market downtown. He was honest about what he thought was the right price range for the location and current market and helped us set realistic expectations. While Matt is the face of his team, the people he has surrounded himself with are extraordinary! They work together like a well-oiled machine. I admit that I was a bit hesitant about hiring a "team," assuming that we would just be passed along to the next available junior realtor - but that is far from reality. Matt was in contact with us throughout. There is a "specialist" for each step in the process, and they know their stuff inside and out! The transitions from one team member to the next are seamless. Their communication is excellent - we always knew what was happening and when. This has been the easiest real estate transaction we have ever experienced - and that's despite several unexpected "hiccups" that occurred. We cannot recommend the Matt Laricy Group highly enough and will be contacting them again ourselves when we're ready to downsize. You will not regret partnering with them!

Catherine Boyle is an exceptional real estate agent, and I feel incredibly fortunate that she…read morehelped me find my first condo. She was attentive and responsive every step of the way, moving quickly to schedule viewings and making sure I never missed an opportunity. As a top-tier agent, she also has access to pocket listings and properties that may not yet be widely available. As a first-time buyer, I especially appreciated Catherine's patience and willingness to explain every step of the real estate process. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and connected me with a stellar real estate attorney and a top-notch home inspector. Catherine also brings a unique level of expertise to home evaluations. Because she comes from a family of home builders, she understands construction and knows exactly what to look for. She noticed important details that helped steer me away from properties that looked beautiful on the surface but had issues I never would have recognized on my own. When it was time to make an offer, Catherine suggested thoughtful ways to help me stand out and convince the seller that I was the right buyer. In Chicago's competitive real estate market, those small but strategic details can make all the difference--and they helped seal the sale. Catherine is kind, thorough, responsive and exceptionally knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market, pricing, construction quality and negotiation. I truly felt that I was in excellent hands throughout the entire process. You cannot go wrong with Catherine Boyle as your real estate agent. She is a true gem!

We were not in the market to buy so he helped us sift through all the 1 bedroom rentals available in River North. And even dedicated his weekends to accommodate our schedules for tours. He was fast at sending us options, focused in on what was important for us to have in a future home, helped call out some of the BS that leasing agents would say to us during tours, and made sure we got a good deal on our apartment in the end. Highly recommend Geoff and Z Chicago for all your Chicago apartment needs. If we were planning on buying in Chicago he would be our guy, no questions at all!

Chuck was an absolute lifesaver during our home search in the Wicker Park/Bucktown area. As…read morefirst-time homebuyers, we walked into this totally clueless about how the process worked or what we were actually looking for in a home. We spent months going back and forth on 2 vs. 3 bedrooms, then roof deck vs. no roof deck, but Chuck had unbelievable patience with us. He gave us space to figure things out, always offered his honest perspective, and never pushed us. He even happily agreed to go back and re-tour a place we'd seen three weeks earlier (spoiler alert: we still didn't buy it). Throughout what ended up being a pretty intense market, Chuck was the calming presence we needed. He was insanely responsive at all hours and always had a thoughtful and well-reasoned answer to our questions. Every property we put an offer in ended up in a multi-offer situation, which was incredibly stressful. But Chuck gave us a real edge by doing the extra legwork behind the scenes, talking to the listing agents to find out what the sellers actually cared about so we could structure the strongest possible offer. It also felt like he personally knew every single agent in town, which built so much trust. At the end of the day, Chuck is that rare realtor who genuinely puts your interests first. We couldn't have asked for a better advisor to help us buy our first home. We loved working with him and would recommend him to anyone!

As first-time buyers we were nervous and had a lot of questions, but Chuck guided us through every step of the process and made everything comfortable, manageable, and exciting instead of overwhelming. Seventeen years later, we reached back out to Chuck again--this time to help us sell that same condo. Just like when we first worked with him, the process was incredibly smooth. Chuck and his team were diligent, professional, and very responsive from start to finish. Chuck truly put in the work to get our property sold quickly. He hosted open houses, he did the footwork, and follow up calls to ensure our condo received great exposure and strong attention from potential buyers. It really says a lot that after 17 years we knew exactly who to call. Chuck continues to provide exceptional service, and we highly recommend him and his team at Best Chicago Properties.
