His staff provided exceptional service and were very friendly as well! I would highly recommend Parlay Mortgage, we were very satisfied with their services! We pushed for a quick close due to a number of reasons, and Parlay certainly delivered!! They were able to get us to closing in less than 30 days, over the holiday season!! I don't want to set expectation that they can do this for all of their customers because I know that closing in less than 30 days is practically unheard of - there was a perfect storm that allowed this to happen, but a HUGE contributing factor was that Parlay went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we met our closing date. Excellent service and a trustworthy firm!

I was disappointed that they sold my mortgage, which I know is a common practice, but I had looked forward to supporting them throughout the life of the loan. Also, some of the fees were a little frivolous to me... I'll have paid nearly $250,000 by the time I finish paying, but they bothered charging $50 for a credit check and $40 for employment verification? Otherwise, great at what they do. I would recommend them for mortgage if you want a company who knows what they're doing!

It has been just a few short months since we closed on our new home, and we could not be happier…read moreand more grateful. We owe much of this opportunity to our realtor Damian Albert who walked with us from the very beginning of our search, when we only had a vague idea of what kind of property we were looking for, down to the last conversation we had following our close at the title company office. Homebuying in an inflated market is absolutely a roller coaster ride of emotions. But what we appreciated about Damian was his professionalism, calm, and attention to detail through each phase of the process. Being new to homebuying, we had little idea of what to expect or how the process worked. But Damian took the time to explain the steps to us in a way that was clear and was quick to return calls when we had questions. Early in the process, Damian was prompt in scheduling showings and was thorough in pointing out features and themes to look for, when it came to good signs or red flags concerning features of properties. As we begun to narrow down the most important characteristics we were looking for in a future home, we did not feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. Damian was never prescriptive in giving us advice, but urged us to be patient with ourselves to ensure that we would feel comfortable with whatever decisions we came to. By the time we were ready to make an offer, Damian counseled us on how to approach the situation out of both his experience and with empirical market research. He provided recommendations for home inspection, financing, and legal representatives and helped us negotiate with a tough seller to close the deal. If you are looking for an experienced realtor who cares about not just his own bottom line, but deeply about people and communities, we would highly recommend Damian.

For a first time homebuyer, purchasing a home can be a daunting and intimidating task (Or so I've…read moreheard). Not to mention, purchasing one in the midst of a pandemic where the interest in homeownership has skyrocketed causing a record-breaking decrease in inventory coupled with inflated prices to match. This was the situation when my wife and I entered the market on 12/23/20 in search of our new home in the Galewood area of Chicago's Austin community. We were very ambitious buyers with a relatively limited budget. This means we wanted all the amenities like specific location, sizable square footage, move-in ready with modern finishes, and a big backyard with a garage but for the best value possible. Thankfully for us, our realtor is a realist. Damian's pragmatic approach to aiding us in our search was not only helpful, it was ideal. During our search, we toured 9 properties in 46 days. Just under half of those checked our wish list for the desired location. If the property had one thing it was missing another and new listings were far and in between. Our hope was to find the right home before the summer but success was proving to be more challenging than we thought. However, Damian was encouraging throughout and most of all - patient. Whenever we went to view a property, he always seized the opportunity to educate us about the fine points of homeownership and the many factors we needed to consider short and long-term. When he wasn't showing us properties, he was sending us examples to view so we could continue to increase our understanding on what home would best suit our family. This is what ultimately led us to make an offer and successfully purchase the first home on our tour list he curated. Damian's knowledge and experience provided us with just enough guidance to make a difficult and weighty decision, logical and clear. This made our experience as first time homebuyers delightful and memorable. Today, we are enjoying our new home and couldn't be happier with our purchase. This wouldn't have been possible without the right realtor. Whether you are a first time buyer like us or looking to purchase another property, Damian's attention to detail, thorough analysis, and professionalism makes him an ideal realtor for today's housing market.

He will do whatever it takes to make it work for you and try to get you the best rates. After shopping around, I found the best rates and deals through Citibank, thanks to Jim! With his experience, Jim was also the most knowledgeable member of my team and kept me apprised of the mortgage and home purchasing process, even though he's not a realtor. I recommend listening to Jim, doing whatever he says, follow his 'commandments,' and he'll do the heavy lifting for you. Obtaining a mortgage is not a fun task, but at least you're in good hands. If I ever have to do this again, I'm going with Jim!

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.
