We have sold 3 homes with Ralph Binetti--the first sold in 3 days, the second sold in 4 days, and…read morethe third never even had to be listed. He got us our asking price before we even put it on the market. Our first transaction with him back in 2000 he caught a mistake in our closing statement that was different than what we agreed to and would have given him more money but he pointed out the mistake and that was enough for us--he is honest and has integrity and we can't say that about everyone in this business. We have referred family members and business associates to him over the years without hesitation. Ralph has been our exclusive realtor for 25 years and we can't recommend him enough. He's a stand-up guy.

As a first time seller, I was a little bit nervous and anxious. Before selecting Tom as my realtor, we spoke a couple of time about my goals and timeline. I felt like Tom was completely on the same page as me with how I wanted to approach the sale. He also had some great recommendations to help me prepare to put my condo on the market. Once we went live, Tom and his team were extremely proactive in communicating timing of open houses and showings, and they provided me with helpful feedback as soon as each showing ended. I also got weekly summary reports on visibility and engagement. I knew Tom was always putting the work, and he wanted to get as many eyes on my place as possible. We did hit a couple of bumps in the road, but Tom handled them well and gave me reassurance when I needed it. At the end of the day, I was happy with the offer we accepted. I would definitely recommend Tom if you're looking to buy or sell. He'll have your best interest in mind and make you feel at ease!

Trying to buy a…read moreSFH during the height of covid already brought challenges and bidding wars but Anthony helped us keep our cool...always keeping things positive. We looked at homes pretty much every Saturday from Feb 2021 through our closing on June 15th. Antony was always available even if it was to see just one house He also has a keen eye for Reno work which was a huge plus to us since we couldn't afford a turnkey home. We had to try and find that unicorn of good bones, not too much work, good potential for a growing family, and in our budget. Anthony helped us do all of that and provided lots of tips and guidance on many showings when we had to envision future reno work. Even as I right this he is offering advice as we draw up plans and work the GCs. All and all we couldn't have asked for a better broker. With Anthony, showing us the listings was just the beginning and he proved invaluable throughout the process. He also works with a great team at his boutique office with his fellow brokers (Luke in particular) and support staff Thanks again!!!

Anthony walked us through every step of the process with immense patience, answering every question and filling in our knowledge gaps. He got to know us, learned what was important to us, and provided honest feedback on the homes we considered and whether they'd be a good fit for us. When the process was frustrating, Anthony stayed patient and supportive and worked with us to figure out our options. And when we finally found the beautiful home that we'd end up closing on, he was a thoughtful advocate for us, advised us on how to use our resources most wisely, and supported us all the way to the end. We feel so fortunate to have found and worked with Anthony and cannot recommend him enough.

We exchanged information, and he became our agent. My spouse and I had pretty specific criteria - specific neighborhoods (Edgewater, Uptown, Ravenswood), floor preferences (either lower or in an elevator building because we have a senior pup), among a view other wish list items. Samuel was so knowledgeable and was able to recommend amazing units that matched our preferences. When making an offer, he made sure we were aware and informed about the pros and cons of each unit we considered, taking time with us to go through the offer contract. He also was able to recommend amazing contacts for each part of the process - lending agent, lawyer, inspector, insurance agent, movers, etc. He saved us so much time and research! Whatever questions we had, Samuel was always two steps ahead and had the answers. He was also so responsive, patient, and available. On top of being a knowledgeable professional, he was also very personable and patient in touring units with us. Samuel really set the bar for my expectations for a real estate agent, and I cannot give him a strong enough recommendation!

Her combination of knowledge and enthusiastic personality won me over in minutes and 2 years later, I can still say that working with her has been nothing short of perfection. It's important to me to feel that my agent has my best interests at heart first and foremost, and Megan has demonstrated that she understands this time and again. Through her well-supported advice, I ended up renting out my unit, a transition I was nervous about. Megan made this process completely painless with her consistent follow-up, availability and desire to find the right fit. This past year, when the lease was up for my first tenant, Megan handled everything efficiently and found me another dream tenant within days. Having someone I can trust to handle all of this from 600 miles away has been more than this self-admitted control freak could ever ask for. Working with Megan, and by extension the O'Keefe Cibula Group, is like working with family. Megan continues to have my business and my trust.

As first time homebuyers, we didn't know what to expect, but Megan put us at ease because she established a sincere level of trust. She was knowledgable on both the market and our neighborhood, very responsive, and her positive, energetic personality made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. There were many steps to the home buying process that we were unaware of and she patiently walked us through each step so that we were in the know. We truly appreciate Megan's hard work in helping us find and purchase our first home. This home was the perfect fit for us and hope to be here for many years, but if we move on, we will definitely be using Megan again!

Craig has an incredible eye for any problems in the house whether it's plumbing, leaky windows, old single pane windows, shoddy rehab or general warnings to expect problems in the future based on an old age of the house. With an extensive experience in house renovation and construction, he was able to estimate approximate cost of the repairs, quite unusual for the real estate brokers. Craig worked tirelessly with me for about 3 month because of a tight market and my specific requirements, searching for that illusive "perfect" house. He is very busy so grab him when you can. Highly recommend!
