Finding Whitney Wilson (of Berkshire Hathaway and Starck Realty) in 2022 was the best luck we've…read moreever had! We were in the market for our first home and I was given her name by the VP of a well respected local bank's mortgage division. From the moment we met I could tell she had a great personality and was incredibly driven - she made it clear she'd do whatever she needed to do to find us the perfect home in our price range, despite the competitive market. She made herself available for as many showings as we needed and used her network and the private MLS to eventually find us a perfect home that had not currently listed on the public market yet. With her help we were able to submit a competitive offer and secure a home well within our budget before our apartment lease was up. The sale went quickly and smoothly and she was there to guide us every step of the way, providing excellent vendor recommendations and advice. It should come as no surprise that we reached out again when we needed to sell our home after unexpectedly finding out we were pregnant in late 2024. Whitney walked us through the selling process, gave us great insight on how to maximize interest in the property and provided all the tools we needed to ensure it showed beautifully and got us top dollar. In fact, our house sold again on the private market due to her tips within just a few days of listing that it was coming soon. We credit her with helping us choose a solid house that held its resale value and even appreciated over the short time we were in it (with minimal maintenance needed.) Closing was quick and easy and I credit Whitney with making our first home purchase/sale experiences as seamless as possible. I would 1000% recommend Whitney to anyone needing a home - she is top notch and will go out of her way to advocate for her clients to ensure they get exactly what they need out of their purchase and/or sale. You're the best, Whitney! We can't thank you enough and are glad to have met you! Our housing guardian angel!

AMY PREAVES of Crystal Lake stands out as one of the very best I have ever seen. I have had the pleasure now of working with 2 of her clients, and I have to say she was just the sweetest and most hard-working realtor for both of them. She will go out of her way to make sure everything runs so smoothly. Recently, I had a problem with one of her client's garage codes not working properly. I CALLED AMY FOR HELP WITH THE CODE BUT INSTEAD SHE RAN FROM HER OFFICE TO HER HOME GRABBED ANOTHER KEY AND RAN ALL THE WAY TO HER CLIENTS HOME TO HELP IN THE MIDDLE OF HER BUSY SCHEDULE. She truly is amazing. If you're looking to sell or buy a home I would highly recommend Amy. She is absolutely amazing!!

Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.
