She really…read morelistened to our needs (style of home, school district, budget) and worked with us tirelessly to find the right home for our family. She worked day and night (literally) to respond to our emails or texts, and when she wasn't available she always let us know ahead of time so we were not waiting around. These are little things that we've noticed are not inherent to all agents. We never felt pressured to purchase anything and I'm fully confident Kara would have shown us a 100 more houses until we found the right one. The house we did finally find was a private listing, an option other agents we've used never utilized or informed us of. We were able to get ahead of the competition and avoid potential bidding wars. Thanks, Kara!

Two years ago my wife and I began to search for a single story ranch home. We worked with several…read morebrokers without luck. Well built, larger ranch homes are rare in our area and invariably brokers would become discouraged and just put us on a computerized MLS alert for "Single Story" offerings and forget about us. We saw nothing but listings for small ranches jammed onto tiny corner lots. Kara Kennedy O'Connell with Smothers Realty took an opposite approach. She spent time understanding our needs and then worked harder and smarter than any residential Realtor we have ever used. Kara only suggested homes that came close to fitting our criteria. She previewed the new listings each day and if one looked especially promising, she telephoned with an offer to show the house. After several months she found a great ranch in a perfect location. We highly recommend Kara without qualification.

They are extremely responsive, friendly, and proactive. We investigated a number of realtors before choosing Sarah Leonard team. We appreciated that Tori was energized, realistic, honest, and very detail oriented. She gave us the confidence that with the right amount of tender loving care that we could sell our place at the price we were hoping for. Also, even a week after we first talked to her, she still remembered our "one burned out light bulb" in the hallway and reminded us to replace it! This level of attention impressed us greatly. They have a network of providers that will do a great job at a reasonable cost for getting your place ready to sell. We used their preferred painter, carpet installer, carpet cleaning, window repair, and moving service. All did great work on schedule and for the right price! To top it off, our closing occurred in the middle of the pandemic when Naperville closed for business and so many other things shut down. They worked as a team, including the attorney which they recommended to us, to navigate around the challenges and we closed on schedule. Could not be happier with my experience!

I have had two interactions with Terri Swiderski, the first buying a home and selling the same home…read more16 years later. I wanted to list it for $420K-$425K, she insisted $409K with all her experience. Little did she know I had been following the market for quite some time and have a cousin who sells real estate. I sold our home in Arizona, the realtor said to me directly, and even mentioned I should sell homes for a living. My house sold for $420K, I knew the worth more than she did in her 30+ years of selling real estate. She is very arrogant and condescending, and cost me a home I was trying to purchase in another city. Also, she went on vacation within a day or two of the offer, not knowing if the couple was approved for financing. Terrible realtor, she stated she sold the house, yet she had not one client/customer come through my home. I talked to a few of the potential buyers myself when we arrived home, after it was past their scheduled time to look, at the house. She had the audacity to blame the other realtor helping me to put in a bid and sign a contract on the new home. Then, she insulted me, stating it was a starter home I was buying. Well, I bought a Newly Constructed Home for $225K with 2,592 square feet. I do not think for one person that is a starter home. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two car garage, a full basement and a little over a half an acre of land. She has a bad disposition, neither did I like her when I bought my home with my ex-husband, nor when I sold it. He wanted to use her services to sell the home, I did not, he thought she knew the area well. Apparently she didn't and I did. She couldn't even draw up the contracts correctly, I should have fired her, she didn't do her job. I still have all the nasty, insulting emails sent from her to me, so unprofessional in every way. She is beautiful on the outside, but definitely not on the inside. My 25 year old son is a witness to the conversations and emails with Terri Swiderski. He interjected at one time, when she tried talking over me, after asking me a question and not listening to my answer. She claims she is all about women empowerment and social networking with women, yet the opposite is true (especially if she is jealous of you). By the way, this woman received over $22K for a job she couldn't even perform, ridiculous. I am grateful my son was by my side and was a witness to the arrogance of this person. He now knows what to not look for in a real estate agent and what to look for when purchasing a home.

We recently used Jen to sell our previous home and buy a new one--she was referred to us by close…read morepersonal friends. We cannot say enough about all the work she put into helping us both sell our current home and find the perfect new home. In our experience, she's as good as it gets. I will also say we used Redfin to augment our home search and briefly considered "going solo" without an agent. But after our experience, we definitely recommend going with a quality agent like Jen that has local knowledge and a personal commitment to you during such an important time in your life. I recommend Redfin's website to help in your search, but make sure to hire a great agent like Jen to handle everything else. I noticed the one negative review of Jen here on Yelp and felt obliged to provide our honest opinion. Search for her on other agent review websites and you will find Jen is the best. Sorry for whatever happened to the other Yelp reviewer, but I would bet our new house Jen was not to blame for it.

The home inspection showed some improper wiring and some mold (the home inspector's report is available upon request proving this). Thus, my attorney terminated the contract. My earnest money check cleared about a week ago, and I provided Jen with documentation the check cleared. Notwithstanding this evidence the check had cleared, Jen is refusing to return my earnest money for 10 business days on the excuse she has to make sure the check clears even though I have provided proof my check cleared about a week ago and even though the sellers signed the earnest money return form. Avoid Jen Conte at all costs as she will hold your earnest money hostage if your deal falls through so she can get the interest on it!
