I encountered…read moretwo issues: First, the Gloor agent came to closing with the incorrect sale price on the contract, thus causing the bank to review the loan while we sat at the table with my attorney and broker. Gloor agent turned to my agent and asked, rather jokingly, and chuckled: "I wonder what this'll mean for my commission?" Then, she informed me that she forgot to bring the keys for the property and could she get 'em to us "later?" (The simultaneous "thud" you hear is that of the jaws of me, my wife, Realtor, mortgage broker, attorney, title/escrow manager, and seller's attorney hitting the table.) Unprofessional, irresponsible, and rude.

Amy Reynolds who was recommended to me by Andy Sokol is a great realtor! My partner and I listed…read moreall of our needs and necessities when it came to finding a rental property. Amy listened to all we had to say and carefully found great listings for us to consider and see in person. At the time, we were living out of state and decided that we wanted to spend a weekend in Chicago to check the properties ourselves(I would highly recommend you do this if you are in a similar situation as it's easier to get a feel for things in person vs pictures/videos). We looped Amy into the dates that we would be here and she worked her magic and had all of our listings showed to us on a single day. The night before, we saw a listing become available on the market and also asked Amy to include that in the showing. She worked diligently and made it happen come showing day. Amy's got great communication skills and made the whole process a breeze! Since we did not have a car with us, she even offered to drive us to the showings and also show us around the neighborhoods. Such a stressful experience if done on your own but again, Amy made it such a great, and easy one. After all the properties we saw, we finally went with the one that felt the most right to us and Amy amazed us again with negotiating out deals with the property owner/company that managed it. She walked us through the steps on what we needed to do next to secure the property and was available throughout the whole process to help answer all the questions we had as well as being very reassuring throughout the process of application. The market can be competitive and scary for rental properties but having a great realtor definitely gave us a competitive edge and a huge reassurance. Thank you Amy and thank you Andy Sokol for connecting me to her! You guys have got a great team and I will be using Amy again should I ever need to buy/rent. Sokol group is highly recommended by me and I will be referring any friends who need real estate services!

I would not use Picket Fence again, and I do not recommend them. Sue Duchek handled the listing on…read moremy house in Arlington Heights. She gave a pitch that was thorough, and set a price that was higher than other agents'. It took more than two months to get one offer, despite have many showings and getting positive feedback from people who toured the house. The price was lowered repeatedly. And this was when houses were selling super fast during the pandemic (spring-summer 2021). I eventually realized she "bought the listing", as several neighbors had suggested. When I asked her why there were no offers sooner, she mentioned two obstacles (being across from a park, and not having a big backyard); and said she didn't know they would pose problems. Seriously? My house finally sold for more than $60,000 below the original list price. Very dissatisfactory.

Sue Duchek, broker and owner of Pickett Fence Realty, turned the reluctance and anxiety I felt…read moreabout having to use a realtor into gratitude and completely positive feelings about my first time doing so. I had unenthusiastically decided that I would need the help of a realtor to sell a condo I had lived in and owned for 30 years, because I was then living 140 miles away. I was unenthusiastic and reluctant because I am an independent and DIY kind of guy. Nevertheless, my wife and I interviewed several realtors in the Arlington Heights area. We knew in ten minutes we had a match when we met Sue. What impressed us was her calm, mature, friendly, thoughtful, humble and relatable demeanor and the fact that she did not push herself on us despite what we later learned were her manifest qualifications and experience. My point is, Sue is the real deal as a person and you will love working with her. She will tell it like it is and you'll want to hear it. For me, Sue has a great deal of personal credibility and earned my trust early with her nuanced thinking and analysis. She also has a lively sense of humor which, believe me, can serve anyone well in this sometimes fraught and emotional undertaking of real estate sales. Sue guided me through a minefield of difficult decisions in the worst months of the Covid-19 crisis in the spring and summer of 2020. Then she rationally and sympathetically helped me keep the faith through the disappointment of losing two early sales (for reasons beyond our control or influence) until we finally "got our plane on the ground and to the terminal", as our lawyer, Collin Gilbert of Palatine, put it. He was recommended by Sue and turned out to be a great choice. I recommend him as well for his hard work, communications skills and wise advice. I felt that Sue was in the game - my game - with both her head and her heart from the start. I would unconditionally recommend her to anyone seeking a delightful partner and an experienced guide in their real estate journey. If you call her, say "hey" from me.

I have been working with Mark for 12 years and have bought and sold multiple properties with him…read more He is an absolutely fantastic real estate agent to work with, 100% recommended. What impresses me most about Mark is that he puts his client's interest above his own. As a buyer, he helps you negotiate the price down even though that's less money in his pocket. As a seller he helps you walk away from deals that are not in your best interest, even though it means a lot more work for him. In my most recent sale with Mark, I lived 6 hours away so it was difficult for me to do everything that needed to be done with the property to be ready. Mark was instrumental in working with contractors, working with tenants, showing the building, communicating with me, and generally working his butt off to get the deal done. Amazing. And if that's not enough, Mark has a tremendous team behind him. He has great people that he works with like contractors, lawyers, mortgage brokers, and property inspectors, that are instrumental to the process. If you choose to work with Mark, I'm confident that you'll be happy that you did.
