I was holding onto my condo with the intention of renting it, but decided it was time to let it go. Within a week, we had an offer that we accepted close to our listing price and I couldn't be happier! Shari and Kim know so much about the market and how to price point items. I am completely grateful for that! There is no other agents I would recommend if you are buying our selling. Their complete dedication to clients and making you feel comfortable throughout the process is just awesome! They are my permanent recommendation for everyone! Seriously, if you are doubting you're financial situation and whether you can buy or not, they will take care of you! Thanks again Shari and Kim!

RELIEF. If I had to pick one word to describe what Shari and…read moreKim meant for me, that would be it.... relief. I don't make decisions well. Awful at it, really. I don't make big commitments well either. Therefore, buying a home is close to my worst nightmare. Well, a long exhausting process later, I've awoken in what is pretty much my dream house (within financial reason, at least). I didn't think anyone would be patient enough to deal with me, but I never saw so much as an eye roll while I scoffed at the most minute little flaws of the places that just weren't right. Then it happened, like Goldilocks, I found my perfect fit. They helped me with every little detail up until closing. Made all sorts of calls and appointments, and even met contractors at the house for me. As a first timer, needless to say I was very overwhelmed. However, things could not have gone more smoothly, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Mike and Victor are absolutely amazing to work with!! Mike and Victor are crucial team members of…read moremy circle. I couldn't achieve what I have achieved without their extensive knowledge, extreme patience, and their network of resources. I have never met a better mortgage officer than Mike. He changed my whole impression on what a mortgage officer is about. He genuinely cares about his clients and always provides the best guidance and certainly best rate to my business. Mike has the best working ethics and the most extensive knowledge any customer desires. Mike always goes above and beyond to help me. He is definitely my long term partner and I appreciate everything he does. I'm extremely lucky and honored to be able to work with him!!

It was my wife's and my first home so we had a lot of questions and Mike had no problem simplifying things for us whenever we needed. I would not hesitate to go back to them for future loans or to refinance. Thanks again Home Loan Solutions!

I was a first time home buyer looking for a mortgage. I got all my places lined up for the day and…read moreasked one of the consultants to give me a rough estimate of the rates he had. He gave me a rate that was well outside of my research range. When I said to him "Hey this doesn't seem right, can you check it again" He said "I did everything I could and that is the best rate I could get, I do this for a living." I literally called 3 major banks and got 3 quotes that were all 1% lower than his "lowest rate" I told him I was moving on with another bank. He said "Well maybe I can talk to my manager to get a lower rate...I didn't know rates were so low." Get a second opinion when working with these guys... Slimy as hell.

Update: 8/31/2017 Thank you for Grace's sincerity and…read morehelpful reply. I feel like I can trust her again. I think I'm too impatient to wait for her reply. Now I know customers are very important to her. She will take good care of them. I will definitely do business with her in the future if needed. I will recommend Grace to others wholeheartedly. Original: 8/30/2017 At first Grace Davis was helpful but then she did not respond to my last email. I just want to find out the interest rate and closing costs. Is that too much to ask? She might just be too busy to answer two questions. Maybe I am not worthy of her time. I chose her because she is on the list of preferred loan officers. But now I think it is overstated. Not recommended.

Greg was an incredible broker for us as first time buyers. We had little knowledge coming in and…read morehad a unique circumstance so we gave him a limited timeline and property targets to work from. Despite this challenge, Greg helped deliver us our dream place. He is obviously very knowledgeable and experienced with real estate, particularly around the West Town Chicago area. For the buying process, we had an initial meeting where we got to our each other, made sure he understood my goals, and began narrowing our search. He worked with me to create a list of specific potential properties and drove me around to tour them. During tours, he was great at being able to share both his factual knowledge, as well as personal opinions, to help us judge different properties - without ever putting pressure on us. Once we targetted our dream place, his negotiating skill helped us secure the property at asking price at a time that is a strong seller's market. This was a huge and unexpected win. He laid out what to expect for closing, and the process went exactly as he said. It was quick and easy with no surprises. Beyond being excellent with the necessary broker skills, Greg was very personally useful - he took time to explain all sorts of nuances to us as inexperienced buyers and helped us feel confident about our decisions. For the entire process, he was always immediately responsive and helpful. Now after closing, he is continuing to work with me to help make the home exactly how I want it, refer trusted contractors and workers, and get everything ready as we move into our home. I 100% recommend Greg and will absolutely plan on using him should I need to sell or buy again in Chicago.

I had a great experience working with Greg. I was on a very tight timeline and had to sell my condo…read morequickly due to some life changes. To make things more challenging, it was the end of the year, which is typically considered off-season. From the very beginning, Greg was incredibly knowledgeable, proactive and reassuring. He walked me through what needed to be done to prepare my condo for the market. Since I was out of state once the condo listed, Greg took care of everything, making sure the unit (and even the building's common areas) was clean and well presented. The listing generated a lot of interest and we were under contract in less than 2 weeks. He negotiated a great deal! Greg continued checking in on the Conde while we waited to close since I was still out of town. I highly recommend Greg if you're looking for someone responsive, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile.

I have never come across a more knowledgeable and professional set of Realtors. Not only will they answer their phones at all hours (or call you back quickly), but they answer your questions with a level of accuracy that is tough to come by since in this day and age, everyone and their Uncle is now a Realtor. Whether you're selling your current house, hoping to buy a new one, or maybe both: I can't reccomend Castline Properties enough. They know their stuff plain and simple. You want them working for you.

I travel a lot for business and was not able to be around a lot during the process, but Kristofer kept me up to date every step of the way through the whole process.

I can not say enough about how helpful Kristofer was, I would recommend Kristopher Nowak to anybody looking to buy or sell a home.
