My husband and I utilized the services of Barbara Akkeron of Baird & Warner to sell our former home…read moreand purchase a new one. We had recommendations for several realtors from neighbors and friends, but Barbara impressed us with her answers, and ultimately we are very glad we went with her! Not just for the insight and experience she brought (for example, when we were crafting an offer), but also her relationships with other realtors, and also the excellent recommendations she supplied for various vendors (attorney, mortgage broker, movers, inspectors; in the case of the movers; they get so much business from her that they gave us a discount!) Home buying and selling is generally a stressful experience, but with Barbara's experience and advising it was as smooth as possible. We have already recommended her to others!

It was very difficult at first to locate a place because my son is disabled and I needed a building with an elevator in a certain area.

You buy a property, gut it, and less than a month later (without renos mind you) you put it up for sale $250k more than your purchase price. Make it make sense.

Wanted to look at an house and received the following message from the Realtor at John Greene…read more There is an up front fee of $50 to setup the viewing of the house, and a 3.5% buyers commission (non negotiable if you put in an offer) that a contract must be signed prior to viewing the house. While I understand the laws have changed around buyers commission and sellers commission fee, the percentage requested up front is more than the average commission received by sellers today... usually it's 6% total (buyer/seller) and 1% goes to the sellers company, and selling realtor gets 2.5% to 3.0% and buying realtor gets 2.0% to 2.5%. Even then everything should be negotiable between the buyer/seller which is what the law was changed to mean.. Would not recommend anyone deal with Amanda from John greene Realtor.

I have worked with Kevin Dahm on multiple real estate transactions, including the recent purchase…read moreof our primary residence, and I can confidently say he is the most outstanding realtor I know. Kevin is a top-notch professional who simply knows real estate better than anyone else. His knowledge of local markets, negotiation tactics, and contractual details is unparalleled. He is also extremely responsive and well organized, which makes navigating the complexities of buying or selling seamless. One of Kevin's greatest strengths is his dedication to his clients' best interests. He does not treat clients or deals in a transactional way. Instead, he invests his time and expertise to ensure you make the right long-term decision. This means he does not shy away from voicing his honest opinions of home features and/or concerns, which is invaluable when touring properties. Whether you are a new home buyer trying to understand the basics or an experienced buyer needing sophisticated guidance, Kevin is the expert you need in your corner. I highly recommend him for any real estate need!

My rental application experience with Baird & Warner was deeply frustrating. My family and I toured…read morea property in December 2025 and submitted a complete application to Kevin Beallis. We were told, "Another applicant came through, so we'll let you know," and were passed over. Two weeks after that, we were contacted and asked if we were still interested. We said yes, and only then were told there was "missing rental verification" (even though we had already supplied that to Kevin directly, and he confirmed receipt) and that we needed to reapply and pay new application fees--$75 per applicant plus $25 for ESA verification--even though charging duplicate application fees appears to violate Illinois HB 4926. We reapplied anyway because we didn't want to lose the house. Communication was slow, inconsistent, and updates only came after repeatedly contacting the office. The owner of the property requested a double security deposit, which we agreed to, and then we received written confirmation from Kevin that our offer was accepted. That same day, Brett Kendrick told us, "Another applicant came through, so we'll let you know." After nearly a month of delays, shifting terms, repeated reopenings of the process, and additional fees, we withdrew and requested a refund, which was denied. Beyond the financial impact, this process cost us significant time and emotional distress. As a rental property owner myself, this was the most unprofessional exchange I've had. Renters should be aware that even if you apply, and qualify, and are approved, nothing is final.

I've had good luck with Marquette so far…read more One quick qualifier: There have been a couple of minor complaints that I'd like to voice here, but please keep in mind when reading them that the good far, FAR outweighs the bad. It's literally like living at a resort here at Skyridge Club. So far, I really love it. Cons: That being said, my first complaint is basically the fact that I found a notice taped to my door after a long day dealing with work that suggested that I needed to secure renter's insurance within the next three days (the implication was clear) even though not only had I already secured renter's insurance (duh, you can't move in to an upscale condo without renter's insurance), but they already had it on file and had done for quite some time. The other incident was an odd circular series of complaints about a mysterious "smell" that I didn't really want any part of that for some reason I was included in even though I was recovering from surgery and about to leave town to take care of some business within hours of whatever the heck happened (which management knew) and therefore, I felt that it wasn't really my concern. If someone is causing intolerable noise or harming a human or animal, I'm more than happy to help figure out the deets, but when it comes to smells that are gone by the time I receive a call about them? Not my problem or concern. I say live and let live. I felt like if they knew the upstairs neighbors (who are super nice by the way) smoked-which they do-and there was a smell-ostensibly of smoke or burning or something like that in the building, that in fact apparently dissipated by the time they made the call to me (really, why bother unless it's a recurring issue, right? That'd be my thinking--unless your aim is to piss off your tenants who are paying upwards of $1300 a month to live where they live, then I'd say can the rhetoric and just chalk it up to a one time thing, right?),why bother calling around? Start with the smokers. It seems only logical. Or really, just wait and see if it happens again and unless it does, let go. It's an upscale apartment complex in 2015, not a dystopian George Orwell novel that we live in (thankfully! lol)... Those are really the only two cons I've noticed. I only mention them because I want to leave an honest and thorough review and because of the general tone that set for me as a new tenant. Pros: Whenever anything (always minor, always fixable) goes wrong in the condo, maintenance is IMMEDIATELY there. They're totally respectful, always with a good attitude and always super willing to help. Every time I've had to put in an online maintenance request, they've shown up within 24-48 hours and taken care of the problem. They're just great. I've even had this really nice maintenance guy (I believe his name is Eric?? Tall, good looking, larger frame, short dark hair) explain to me exactly what's what and give me a heads up on anything that might need to be taken care of in the future. For instance, when I needed help figuring out the odd window tensioner situation and how the heck to open the windows and pop out the frames for cleaning, he walked me around to each window (of which there are a fair few in my condo), explaining to me exactly how they worked and he said if I had a problem in the future, not to hesitate to call again and maintenance would be right over. They even pay special attention to the tenants with pets. They leave information in each pet owner's chart to the maintenance staff to be careful when entering and exiting those peoples' condos so that pets don't escape. At Skyridge Club, they offer picture hanging services, breakfasts and brunches in the common area, different cool community events, pet watering and feeding services for those tenants who need to go out of town, free maintenance and more. They clean the siding on a regular basis and the windows too, they keep up with the gardening and lawn maintenance and the snow removal in the winter (I don't think I ever walked out to snow on or around my car during the winter. The sidewalks and driveway are meticulously maintained. The walking path (which is so lovely by the way) is maintained really well. I really love that my unit backs up directly onto the walking path. It's great for running, walking and biking and it's so nice to be able to socialize with neighbors and to have all the neighborhood kids who walk by (and some adults too!) want to come cuddle with my kitties. I've met some really nice people all because of the fact that I live right on the walking path. There is a beautiful grove of trees which separates Skyridge Club from the neighborhood behind it, which I absolutely LOVE!It is SO relaxing and nice to sit outside at night having a glass of wine and enjoying the sunset and/or moon and stars or to come out and have a cup of coffee in the morning while sitting on my patio.That is honestly the best part about living here in my opinion.All in all, I love it here.

Honestly my time at Forest Pointe has been rough. I'm not one to normally leave negative reviews,…read morebut I really think these are things people should hear before moving into this apartment. 1.) They will tell you garages are $125 a month. But what they won't tell you before you were to sign is that you will be sharing the "individual" garage unit with other residents... yes you read that right. Also if you weren't to sign because you toured prior but didn't sign anything.. they will add the cost to your rent for just inquiring. After they charge you and you voice that you're rent for the month is messed up because of this. It will take them two weeks to fix and they will treat you like it's your fault. 2.) I've been in multiple calls, emails, and work orders for our laundry unit. A small load takes four cycles to dry. That's right a small load takes approximately six hours to dry. 3.) what they are advertising on the website is not all of the units. Some are extremely outdated. So please make sure to do an in person tour of the actual apartment you are signing for. 4.) Forest Pointe doesn't actually support military. Prior to Marquette taking over, the other rental company was offering military discount and Marquette doesn't want to stay true to that for the military residents that have been here. 5.) I've been here barely 2 years and they have gone up over $400 in rent a month for what they want on the new lease. There have been no actual updated amenities. 6.) right now they are "updating amenities" they have had their construction equipment for this parked in their "ample parking spaces" for almost a month now...which means you will be parking pretty far from where you actually live. 7.) you can hear rats eating wires in the attic. And yes I have seen them in the building. 8.) the buildings are also not handicap friendly not just because of the lack of parking now... but also there is no elevators in the building. The buildings have no air conditioning only each unit meaning you will have to run your a/c or heat all the time. 9.) they are now charging water for the whole property to your rent every month. Meaning how much ever the complex uses is divided by residents. Since this I'm now paying nearly $70 more a month for water.
