I feel very fortunate to have met Ernie and he was someone I would refer to anyone who is looking to purchase a home. We met with multiple lenders that offered only a limited amount of options and that did not seem like they knew the details to the caliber Ernie did. Not only is the staff knowledgeable and EXTREMELY quick to respond, they have a certain flare that is unrivaled in such a stiff business. Ernie was extremely personable and relatable. At the end of the process we felt we could trust Ernie with anything. He was able to get is in a fantastic program with amazing results. He makes the impossible seem easy. I wouldn't trust anyone else. He also takes the time to educate you how he is doing everything and makes nothing a mystery. For an age where excellence doesn't mean what it used to Ernie redefines the word. We feel like we've struck gold finding him!

Steve is, hands down, THE MOST knowledgeable realtor of La Grange, La Grange Park and the…read moresurrounding communities. I have never worked with a realtor so passionate and ingrained in his community. This genuine love of the community is showcased through volunteering his time generously to veterans, and and many charitable events. All of this adds up to Steve being an outstanding person in general, but his excitement about La Grange was the reason we chose this town over several others under consideration. We gave him our list of wants and he walked us through the good, the bad and the ugly so that we knew what to expect based on various areas and we were able to make the best decision for our family. Steve isn't afraid to be honest. He wants the sale (who wouldn't), but values the relationship above all else. I know he feels this way regarding both buyers and sellers which is not a quality all realtors have these days. Steve is, definitely, one of the good guys!

When buying or selling a home, Steve is a fantastic choice. Steve is extremely responsive and…read morediligent. He works hard for his clients and does not disappear after the contract is signed. He follows through on everything that he does and will do whatever is necessary to close a transaction. The best part is that the Buyers and Sellers love working with him on real estate deals. He is awesome to be around. Recently, on a very difficult deal in which a lender was not cooperating, he made a large number of calls and pushed through the red tape until he found the right person to help get the lender and attorney together to get the deal done. He willed it to happen. Most realtors will not go to such efforts. By the way, he is extremely supportive of his community.

After getting married, we had outgrown our tiny one-bedroom apartment and wanted to move into…read moresomething roomier, but still within our budget. We started looking around on our own, but as prospective first-time homeowners, we were wary of potential missteps. Mike hosted an open house at one of the first properties we checked out, and although the house itself didn't turn out to be a perfect fit, Mike was. His easy, friendly manner was immediately disarming, and he quickly put to rest any fears we had that we would find our ideal house. Because short sales were so prevalent at the time, they were nearly unavoidable, but thanks to Mike's clear and honest assessments of certain properties' short sale situations vs. those of other properties, we were able to successfully bid on the house we fell in love with and save a bundle in the process. Of course, that's not to say the short sale process was, well, short. But that's par for the course, and Mike was endlessly supportive throughout. When I would get nervous that we hadn't heard a peep from the buyer's lender in a few days, I would call Mike and find out that he was already on it. When the SOLD! sign suddenly disappeared from the For Sale sign in front of our future house and I freaked out, he looked into it without making me feel like I was being totally irrational (I was). He checked in with us regularly, keeping us apprised of any recent developments, and communicating with the buyer's agent on a near-daily basis. Keep in mind, this sale took about 100 days to close, thanks to the buyer's lender (no love for BoA here), but Mike was with us the entire time. We couldn't be happier with our new house, and I'm personally thankful for all of Mike's help, thoughtfulness, and his breadth of local real estate knowledge. It was like a good friend was guiding us the whole time--to the point that now we really do consider him to be a good friend. Thanks for everything, Mike!
