Every single time, we walk into a home that has been meticulously staged, thoughtfully prepared, and treated with the care it deserves. They are, simply put, a photographer's dream to work with. That level of preparation isn't accidental -- it's a reflection of how deeply Bryan and his team respect both their clients and the process. Buyers who encounter a Bryan Bomba listing are seeing a property at its absolute best. And sellers who choose this team should consider themselves truly fortunate to have professionals who treat every home like it's the most important listing they've ever had. There's a reason Bryan Bomba Group is one of the most respected names in Hinsdale and the western suburbs -- they've earned it, one perfectly presented listing at a time.

Konrad is an absolute disaster. We lost literally countless hours over months due to his…read moreincompetence and his inability to convey information and answer honestly. Konrad touts a bizarrely misplaced arrogance. He seemed to be clueless at all times, and not just about the status of the deal or pending actions, but about the basic construction of the house and obvious features. Nevertheless, he provided odd answers about square footage, appliance features, plumbing, security system, etc. As we approached the Close date, we realized that he was simply making up answers to our questions as they quickly became contradictory. Regrettably, the Seller pushed out the Close date, continuously (delayed info from DG) so late that we lost any ability to back out. Reluctantly we moved ahead, feeling as though the house itself was still a solidly built home, despite the efforts of those representing it. We generated a "Punch List" of items and reviewed that with Konrad, items which the Seller agreed would be addressed post-Close, and all was signed off by our Lawyers. The Close: No one from the DG office showed up to the Close and no move made to provide our house keys after we signed the paperwork and become owners. We had to call DG and they had no idea how we were going to get inside, INSIDE OUR OWN HOUSE. They reluctantly gave us the lockbox code for a nearby selling properly to fish a spare realtor key out and access our own property and place back. To top that off, there was no garage door key. The Seller appointed DG Advisors to be on point to handle the communications with us, the Buyer, for the next 8 weeks to close out the list of items. A week after Close, Konrad called us and told us that the contractual Punch List was actually quite "unreasonable." After prompting, he admitted that he hadn't actually read the Punch Lost, but "it seemed pretty long." While this was happening, we experienced flooding in the basement 2 weeks after moving into the property. Konrad began trying to tell us he was taking things off the Punch List, that there was no screen doors for us for instance, even though the Builder had already scheduled the drop off and we received them the next day. There were so many instances of this type of thing for weeks. Konrad will never leave information in a voicemail, nor a text, because he doesn't want to get caught in a lie. "Call me" is the most you'll get, and he'll never go on record - that's a huge red flag and we should have realized it sooner. Three weeks after the Close, Konrad called to tell us that someone else at his office would be taking over as the point person until the Punch List period was over. And then just two days later he called and said that in fact, DG would no longer be participating at all despite their agreement post-Close, but dammit he wanted to let us know sincerely that he "did a really good job for us." I actually don't know what they do besides babysit the house during visits from potential buyers. There are two other units in our building, and the buyers of both had the same agonizing experience with DG, but I'll leave them to tell their own story. Now a note about the others we met. Shelly was incredibly helpful the few times we were able to work with her, and we can't comment about Will other than he was present at two walk throughs and he seemed to be unaware of the property and it's features. Please do yourself a favor, if you see a DG Advisors Group sign in front of the property you're checking out, walk away. I can't guarantee you'll have a better experience than us, but you couldn't have a worse one.

Seriously though, There's nothing more delicious than finding an experienced real estate company, that's local, and knows the markets better than the big chain companies? Kale has a lot of focus not only on buying and selling, but also with rentals and property management. Buying real estate isn't just about the "purchase," but about protecting your long term investment. Their office is right in the heart of Lincoln Park, but they are familiar all over our region. I've had help from the 'burbs, thru the far north side and SW side of the city.

We thought we found our dream…read morehome but had the unfortunate fate of having our fully-executed contract cancelled after we had already completed home inspection, sewer scope and radon testing, totaling $1300. Our agent contacted the seller's agent from this group, Natalia Zulowski and received no insight on the cancellation "I have no clue" nor any intention to speak with our agent. New buyers please beware that there is a clause in the contract where a seller can disapprove a contract without any reason. In this instance, there was no ethical consideration in communication and reimbursement for cost of the home inspection, sewer scope and radon testing that we paid for and reports from these that they have access to. We spent $1300 that went down the drain.

To make things more challenging, it was the end of the year, which is typically considered off-season. From the very beginning, Greg was incredibly knowledgeable, proactive and reassuring. He walked me through what needed to be done to prepare my condo for the market. Since I was out of state once the condo listed, Greg took care of everything, making sure the unit (and even the building's common areas) was clean and well presented. The listing generated a lot of interest and we were under contract in less than 2 weeks. He negotiated a great deal! Greg continued checking in on the Conde while we waited to close since I was still out of town. I highly recommend Greg if you're looking for someone responsive, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile.
