He will not only be the best Realtor you work with... he becomes a friend. Sincerely one of the best people my wife and I ever had the pleasure to meet!

My husband and I just bought our first home and have nothing but nice things to say about Bo West…read more Prior to using Bo, the realtor we were working with was very pushy and did not have our best interest at heart. Bo, on the other hand bent over backwards to accomodate our hectic work schedules and to meet us on the days that worked for us to see homes. Not only was Bo friendly, he is also very knowledgable of the current market and gave us great tips and things to think about. Bo was involved in every portion of us buying the home and even would check in while we were waiting to close just to see if we had any questions. If you are looking for an outstanding realtor who works for you, I would highly recommend Bo West.

Israel Ballesteros, a real estate agent with Remax Horizon in Elgin, IL was extremely difficult to…read morework with. After days of "working the numbers" his buyer placed an offer on our property which we promptly countered, but Mr. Ballesteros was very unprofessional during attempted negotiations by ignoring numerous messages. He was totally non-responsive to our agent for several days at a time. Meanwhile, we suspect there was also an offer placed on another property(s) since the buyer's own home would now be closing in two weeks, and although we had agreed to the terms, the one in hand was suddenly withdrawn because: "Something came up that they have their eyes on." It is highly questionable that an entirely new transaction could be completed in such a short time frame. . Placing an undisclosed second offer while ours was still in play is highly unethical. Pursuant to the Realtors Code of Ethics his actions appear to be in violation of its basic premise "to treat all parties honestly." Minimally, Mr. Ballesteros should review the Code of Ethics and attend a communications seminar. We reached out to both his manager and the owner of Remax Horizon with our concerns, but received no response from either of them. We would NOT recommend Israel Ballesteros or any interaction with Remax Horizon in Elgin, IL when there are so many agents and realtors out there with excellent communication skills, and certainly, higher standards of professionalism.

If you're looking to buy or sell your house, you should call Laura Lanz with ReMax…read more Laura is INCREDIBLE! Not only is Laura kind, friendly and will make you feel at ease, Laura is also incredibly organized, quick and will work for you. Laura will be on top of things, she is quick to respond and Laura is one of those people who is truly genuine to her core. Laura made a process in purchasing a home painless (and during COVID that was HUGE!) and walked me through each step.

Laura Lanz really is amazing; I could not have been more happy.
