He listened to our list of concerns/requests (it was long). There weren't many houses out there that met our needs; when we started to get desperate he stopped us from buying properties that would have been an absolute mistake. His communication is very effective. I always had all the information I needed to make a decision. He answered questions thoroughly. He always answered quickly. He delivered and found us the home that we needed and within our budget. We have lived happily in the home for over a year.

We had another flawless experience with Jim Flanders, this time while selling the same home he…read morehelped us buy 6 years ago. We have kept a great relationship with Jim through the years, and my husband has worked with him on buying and selling some of our investment property. So when it came time to sell our city home in Logan Square as we made the move to the suburbs, we knew Jim Flanders was the one to help us do this. We were building a new construction home in the burbs, so we had a lot of lead time in knowing that we needed to list the property. This was a tricky balance since we didn't want to list the home too quickly (and risk selling it and being homeless for many months until our new house was ready), but we didn't want to miss the peak market season during the summer months and wait until the fall or winter to list it. We also have 2 toddlers at home, so the idea of having to keep the house "showing ready" for an extended period of time was daunting. In a perfect world, we would be able to get under contract quickly with a buyer, but negotiate a later close date and get the best of both worlds. Jim helped us do a walkthrough of the house and pointed out the things he recommended we do to get the house in showing form (painting the walls, caulking some areas, clearing out toy congested areas) but only focused on what he felt would actually make a difference rather than asking us to invest a bunch of money in things that ultimately do not help sell quicker or at a higher price. Jim helped guide us in our timing, thanks to his knowledge and understanding of the market. We listed on a Wednesday in July, and decided to have an open house that very weekend. Jim came and managed the open house for us and the first couple to see the home made an offer that same day. They did not have a real estate agent, and Jim led all the conversations directly with the buyer and negotiated the terms and conditions for the contract. He was able to negotiate a 90 day closing, which gave us plenty of time to stay in our home and enjoy it before needing to vacate. The best quality about Jim Flanders is his easy going personality and honest approach. He always has your back and wants the best for you. But he is not pushy. He will not talk you into doing yourself a disservice just to get a quicker commission. He truly wants to advise you and guide you to get the best results possible and his patience is incredible. He will be there as many times as you need him for as long as you need him, to make sure everything goes smoothly. It was one thing for us to have the utmost trust in Jim, but the most impressive thing was how much the buyers also trusted Jim. They opted not to get their own real estate agent and were fine working directly through Jim (even though he was representing us, the sellers) because they also could feel that Jim had everybody's best interests at heart. This is where Jim Flanders really sets himself apart from other realtors I've worked with. He forms relationships, not just with his clients, but with the opposite clients as well. He took time to have many phone conversations with the buyers to put them at ease, talk through the inspection findings, and negotiate our terms. They trusted him so much that when it came time to close, they didn't even ask for a final walk through of the house before closing. We couldn't have asked for a smoother and less stressful process of selling our home. We got the price we wanted, the closing date we wanted, and all the negotiations and conversations were easy and friendly.

We cannot recommend Jim more highly. He is a consummate professional, honest, thoughtful and…read moreoutrageously knowledgeable about the Chicago property market. We took the plunge this year and started the search for our first home. Jim was incredibly generous with his time working with us, and helped us figure out what we actually wanted and where we would be happy. In May, Jim showed us a home we fell in love with and he guided us through every step of the process, from winning the bid, inspections, closing and held our hands every step of the way. Knowledge and professionalism aside, Jim is just a legend and we just enjoyed hanging out with him and having the chats at showings. The second we get a sniff that any of our friends or people we meet are looking to buy, we instantly stop the conversation to tell them 'YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH JIM FLANDERS'. Thank you Jim.

Open to feedback, innumerable calls and texts even through weekends, with a client first approach, that is highly recommended.

Ron was absolutely fantastic to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we had alot of questions which…read moreRon welcomed and answered very openly and clearly. He was extremely responsive and reliable in setting up showings/inspections/you name it. His experience in the industry definitely showed as he walked us through every little detail of every property we looked at and alerted us to things we should consider for each one. He was also incredible throughout the negotiation process and seeing us all the way through to closing. Prior to closing on our current place, Ron worked very hard to help us resolve a significant issue on a multi-family property we had an offer accepted on. He was there for us throughout the entire process and did everything he could to resolve the issue in the best possible way for us. We also worked with a few other members of his team during our long journey to home ownership (thanks Matt!), all of which were also great to work with.
