Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and empathetic. He was able to deftly guide us…read morethrough the process of selling our home and the absurdities of the current market to a safe landing. Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

Overall, we could have not asked for a better team to help us purchase our first home.

I worked with Laurie using her to help us find a home in the North Chicago area in late summer,…read more2016. We were planning on relocating from Southern California and needed someone who had experience as an agent and knowledge about the area. We searched online and found a unique home that we thought would sell quickly. Laurie and her husband Jeff (also and agent) went and looked at the house on our behalf, took photos and offered their personal perspectives about it to us before we would have ever been able to travel and see it ourself!! I knew right at that point that I had found a special agent. Laurie is VERY responsive in all forms of communication. We exchanged emails regularly during our search over several weeks. After a few weeks of working with her, I traveled to Chicago to look at several homes. Laurie was out of town during my visit due to previous vacation plans, but made sure that I was well taken care of by another agent from her office during my visit. Laurie had an outstanding attitude during all of our communications. She truly loves what she does. After my visit to Chicago, we decided not to relocate to the area. Laurie took the news without a bit of disappointment and still wanted to be of help in any way that she could to us. That is the true mark of a professional. If you are looking for a seasoned agent with an outstanding attitude that loves doing what she does helping her clients, Laurie is your best choice. If you work with her you will not be disappointed.

When it came time to list the house, they did a fantastic job - I couldn't believe how many showings were arranged in such a short period of time. Long story short, we had the house under contract within 3 days for $27K over asking price. The closing went without a hitch. I'd say that's a 5-star performance in any book!
