Preparing for an out-of-state move and navigating everything in selling our home could have been incredibly stressful, but Dave and Amy made it all very manageable and gave me a sense of peace through it all. I met with them months in advance after being referred to them by a good friend who also sold their house in Wilmette. Dave and Amy guided me in every single step from the very beginning. They connected us with great contractors to completely renovate our master bathroom and gave advice with purging and bringing belongings to a storage unit. In preparation for the listing, they helped with every aspect, big or small, including installing new light fixtures and blinds. Amy and her team, including their assistant Tara, then did a phenomenal job with staging our house, making it look like a magazine! And Dave was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with every financial aspect, including list price, negotiating offers, and closing the deal, always making us feel like he was looking out for our best interests. Every time I called or texted them, no matter how big or small the issue, they responded right away and with such kindness, wisdom, and understanding. Even after we moved out of state, they generously picked up packages mistakenly still shipped to our old address. And at our new house, they sent a gorgeous gift box. My friend was right - "There's no question who to use as a realtor...Dave and Amy Chung." I couldn't agree more. Thank you, Dave and Amy, for everything you did to help us through it all! We couldn't be more grateful.

Buying and selling a home can be overwhelming, but Dave made the experience much less stressful. His expertise, integrity, and genuine care for his clients set him apart. We are so grateful for everything he did for us and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent.

Alan's dedication and knowledge are just two of the reasons people should hire him as a Realtor…read more This is the second time we have hired Alan in the past 8 years, and he is there for you every step of the way, extending his service beyond the norm and into the realm of true friendship. And get this - he actually cares about his clients more than his commission. We were most impressed when he visited us to discuss listing our condo, and we mentioned that someone had previously expressed an interest in buying our unit. Alan strongly suggested that we fully investigate that possible offer before listing, because it could save us the cost of Realtor commissions. Wow, right!? Who does that!? And this wasn't an isolated incident of Alan showing that he truly cares about his client and what's best for them. His customer service and cheerful attitude help make him an extremely talented Realtor. If you want honesty, integrity, knowledge and charisma all in one package, I strongly recommend that you reach out to Alan May.

If there was a question that Julie Jensen can't answer about the North Shore Real Estate, the…read morecommunities, the schools, or even "could we dig out this basement", my wife and I couldn't come up with it. Julie worked with us in our recent home purchase where we looked in Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka and and Evanston, and she was a tremendous resource throughout the whole process. As a native (and current resident) of the north shore, Julie knows the north shore from all perspectives, and has hands on knowledge of the schools and neighboorhoods, restaurants, and most importantly the homes. Not only did she give us the inside scoop on the schools, the feel of each neighboorhood, but, she also helped us understand the relative value of each home, and the innate Strengths and Weaknesses of the construction, layout and all that. Finally, after being patient with my wife and I throughout our process, Julie was a great resource from the time we decided to bid, through inspection and all the way to close. In fact, I think her local knowledge really came into play in the last stage, as she helped us determine a fair price, and then knew all the questions to ask at inspection, and made sure we got everything all buttoned up for the close. Julie was great, not only was she personable and easy to deal with, she was attentive and very savvy about the area and the homes.

We went to many of the houses that were listed and judging from our reston she quickly understood what we were looking for. She also had some very good recommendations on Mortgage Brokers and home inspector. Lastly she helped us negotiate a fair price for the house and very soon we were able to move into our beautiful house. Thanks!!

We were becoming a bit frustrated trying to sell our home "by owner" and when we met Lisa it became clear that she was very knowledgeable regarding the industry in which she thrives. We turned over the duties of selling our home to her and the results were immediate. Not only is she knowledgeable, as most agents are, she has that extra component about her that is extremely likable and kind. Because we were originally selling our home by owner we had a chance to meet many of the very nice/capable agents on the North Shore, but after a few meetings with Lisa it became very clear very quickly that we had gotten extremely lucky in choosing Lisa. Her openness and communicative skills are flawless and helped all of us involved, sellers and buyers move through the process efficiently but more importantly cordially. Her business acumen and friendly manner are an incredible recipe for success. Thank you Lisa.
