Thank you Jeff for help making my refinance so very smooth! You answered my questions in a timely…read moremanner - even when you were at baseball game with your family. You helped me figure out the best options and weren't scared away when my condo questionnaire looked like it might cause an issue (it didn't). I truly believe that I got such a great rate because you were there and helped showed me (and taught me) my options. You even answered the same question multiple times without any hesitation. It is certainly something that I wouldn't have been able to do without you. I would highly recommend Jeff. In fact, I've already done so with my friends. From one happy refinance condo owner!

Tracy was so amazing to work with on the sale of my late Mother's home. She was a co-listing agent…read moreand I wanted her to work on this sale because she brings a fresh perspective, has a lot of great ideas (including on how to save money and maximize broker opportunities), and is extremely dedicated. Tracy definitely has her finger on the pulse of the current market. She helped to provide great info on the market and pricing so we could maximize our profit while selling the house quickly. And it all worked! We had an amazing offer only 13 days after listing the house and we sold the house. I would definitely use Tracy in the future and I highly recommend using her for your real estate needs.

If I could give Tracy 6 stars, I would. My wife and I were looking for a home in the west suburbs…read moreand we were referred to Tracy through another Baird and Warner agent. First, Tracy is delightful as a person. She always has a positive attitude and is upbeat even when time is getting tight. Tracy always put our wants and needs first. She put us in the best possible position we could be in as buyers. Her knowledge of the market and of the ins and outs of the business end of home buying ensured that we got the best deal we could. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She's the best!

I have been a real estate agent in two states (not Illinois), and when I was an agent I did…read moreeverything but throw myself in front of a train for my clients. However, I met my match in Paul Gibson, Coldwell Banker Realty-Hyde Park. Paul was born and raised in Chicago, and he not only knows the south side, but he knows downtown, the north side and the suburbs. I mean, he really, really knows them. I didn't even think that was possible. Paul recently helped me purchase a bank-owned property on the far north side (near Evanston). The deal was a nightmare and took nearly six months. However, Paul was calm, patient and smart as heck. He's also a licensed appraiser, which made things much easier when I was trying to figure out which property to buy. Once my deal was going Paul made a point of calling me EVERY DAY with an update (even if there was no new information), just so I would know where the deal stood. He made things happen, kept everyone in line, and was always 100% honest with me. If something I was considering wasn't going to work, he would look me straight in the eye and tell me. He's a no bulls**t kind of guy. In addition, I had completely screwed-up financing, and Paul helped me work that through with my lender, the seller and the real estate attorney. Other Chicago-area agents won't even talk to you if you aren't buying with 20% down and A-1 credit (I had neither). And catch this - he missed his wedding anniversary in order to make sure that 12 hours of painting and repairs were completed on the property I was buying. Thing is, his commission didn't end up being all that big (and he knew that going in). In short - Paul's a good guy, a nice guy, and someone who knows his stuff. He communicates, and will do whatever it takes (legally) to get a house sold or get a buyer into a house. I have to admit, he's a better real estate agent than I ever was. After working with Paul, I think I'll just skip getting an Illinois license.

I…read morehappened to call a local Coldwell Banker office and Sandra Edwards- Martin answered the phone. I explained my husband and I were looking for a realtor to help us sell our home. I remember thinking how attentive and patient she was during our conversation and that put me at ease. After discussing her credentials we proceeded to schedule an appointment. Upon our first meeting she came ready to work and access the damage. We knew our home needed work and Sandra gave us some "tough love" ideas and assignments. She was so professional and yet friendly and told us what we needed to do to get the best value for our home. What I also like about Sandra is how she'd make suggestions and ask for our input. She made us feel as though we were a part of the process and not just sitting on the sideline, even though we usually leaned in her favor. Although Sandra had other clients and responsibilities she was accessible and proactive. She's extremely skilled in the market and very conscientious. She has a very keen sense for detail that I've truly learned to appreciate. She doesn't settle for mediocrity and that's an invaluable quality in any real estate agent. We've since met Sandra's requirements and recommendations and we're beyond pleased. Sandra's an excellent Real Estate Agent and I would put her up against any top agent in the country. That's just how great she is!!!!!!!

We gave Chris our preferences and he patiently worked with us to filter through several listings before we found a home that best fit our needs (and wants). As a realtor, Chris is Super knowledgable, extremely prompt, and Uber helpful. As a man: Chris is down to earth, accessible, and aims to help people, rather than gain customers. Chris is truly one of a kind because, maybe two years later, extenuating circumstances required my family to be forced to move rather abruptly from the place he'd help us to procure. I called Chris requesting his help for a second time, and his sense of urgency in helping me was immediate! It spoke volumes of not only his professionalism, it reflected his commitment to helping people. If you're looking for a realtor who puts the client first in all areas, Chris Cucci is your man!
