When you need important documents handled quickly and correctly, Express Apostille & Notary…read moreServices is exactly the kind of place you hope to find. Scheduling was incredibly easy. We needed several estate-planning documents notarized, and it can be surprisingly hard to find a notary who handles everything--signing, stamping, witnesses--efficiently and professionally.

Instead of navigating government offices downtown or waiting at limited DMV locations, you can simply make an appointment here and get it done without the hassle. Verdict Express Apostille & Notary Services makes a traditionally inconvenient process unbelievably smooth. Great communication, efficient service, reasonable pricing, and the convenience of both notary and apostille offerings in one place. Five stars and highly recommended for anyone needing document services in Chicago.

I highly recommend Judy Greenberg and her team!

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!

Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. 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.

We choose John after listing with several other agents that simply did not get it done. After researching realtors we found John ranked the best in Barrington and the country which is what we wanted in this challenging market. We then visited his website, put our name in and he personally contacted us immediately, which assured us that he was trully on top of his business. He worked so hard to get our home sold and helped our buyers through the process when their own Redfin agent was no where to be found, he made a very challenging sale easier for all. We downsized to a smaller home in Barrington and John helped us make the perfect choice with this home as well, others talked about making it happen, John made it happen. Great job, thanks again to John Morrison and his team!

We were so fortunate to have first met her while wandering through one of her warmly staged open houses. While most seller's agents we met at open houses tended to stay disengaged, Susan was welcoming and clearly was there to advocate for her client. Even though we didn't go with her open house listing, the true reward was getting connected to her for the rest of our new home search. While some realtors are just there to open the door and send you automated listings, Susan blew us away with her vigilant and thoughtful procurement of potential homes. When seemingly perfect listings popped up, we'd quickly hop onto our email to ask Susan for a showing only to find an email already in our inbox from her asking if we'd be free later that afternoon to see that exact listing. With each potential home, we were greeted by her kind smile and thorough data on not only the home but also the neighborhood and market. Her local roots and connections to the North Shore gave us the confidence in understanding and making the decisions needed to submit offers in an area where homes were receiving 10+ offers, tens of thousands over listing price. Susan provided constant communication and support. We never felt pressured, uncomfortable, or alone while working with her. I honestly have no idea how she has so little reviews online and feel like we really lucked out to have gotten her as our agent before more people catch onto the exceptional quality and service she delivers. If you're in the market for a home in the North Shore, you need to at least give her a call to experience what an exceptional realtor truly looks like. Oh... and she helped us close on our new home at the price point we had hoped for. Exceptional quality, service, and results - yes, she's that good.
