    Overall, primarily influenced by the outcome of our search / purchase (the most important measure),…read morewe were very dissatisfied with the overall service from Pam and Wendy. Pam and Wendy did give us a significant amount of their time and energy over the months it took us to complete the purchase of our new home, which was greatly appreciated. That being said, due to circumstances that could and should have been avoided, we now find ourselves in a discouraging and extremely costly situation as we work through several issues that should have been identified through the home search, due diligence and inspection. We trusted the inspector Pam and Wendy recommended to us would be thorough with a critical focus on protecting us from major issues - this was clearly not the case, and the shortcomings of the inspection and related negotiations have left us having to pay tens of thousands of dollars out-of-pocket to remedy. On a related note, the 'experts' Pam and Wendy recommended during the inspection/attorney review period were equally poor, particularly a roofer that gave us an estimate for repairs that we now know was 95%+ underestimated (as proven by four subsequent estimates for the same work), and gave us a false sense of security in terms of what we had ahead of us. Maybe the most unsettling part of the experience in hindsight (which should have raised our flags in the moment) was when Pam and Wendy clearly put the best interest of the sellers ahead of ours (their client) in the context of pressuring us to sign the deal on a condensed timeline so the sellers would not have to relist the property. Finally, neither Pam nor Wendy made themselves or a legal representative available to represent us in person during our closing, and did not give us a heads up that we would be there alone, leaving us with a fairly sour taste on what should have been a celebratory day. Overall, as we continue to work through issues daily and try to recoup our losses, we do not feel our best interests were prioritized and feel the advice from Pam, Wendy and their recommended subject experts was critically underwhelming and insufficient.

    From the moment we met with Pam and Wendy we knew we were in great hands. My husband and I were in…read morethe process of trying to decipher whether or not we wanted to take on a big project, or something more turnkey. Pam and Wendy differentiated themselves from the beginning because they knew the estimated costs of various projects, and where we would get a significant return on investment should we decide to sell our home in the future. We truly felt that they had our best interests in mind, and were always available to consult on various ideas. When we heard about a home coming on the market in Evanston, Pam did not hesitate to reach out to her contacts and ensure that we were the first people to get into see. Once we knew this was the home for us, Pam and Wendy knew how to navigate the negotiations with multiple offers, and her competitive yet sensible drive kept us calm and focused throughout the stressful process of buying a home in a pandemic. After the house was ours, Pam and Wendy's work did not end. They connected us with their favorite vendors for roofing, carpeting, lighting and more. They ensured we were connected with the best lawyer and loan-officer and were on-call to help us navigate several unforeseen circumstances throughout the process. We truly feel that our "forever home" today, would not have been ours without this incredible team of professionals assisting us throughout the process. We can't recommend them enough!

She was attentive and responsive every step of the way, moving quickly to schedule viewings and making sure I never missed an opportunity. As a top-tier agent, she also has access to pocket listings and properties that may not yet be widely available. As a first-time buyer, I especially appreciated Catherine's patience and willingness to explain every step of the real estate process. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and connected me with a stellar real estate attorney and a top-notch home inspector. Catherine also brings a unique level of expertise to home evaluations. Because she comes from a family of home builders, she understands construction and knows exactly what to look for. She noticed important details that helped steer me away from properties that looked beautiful on the surface but had issues I never would have recognized on my own. When it was time to make an offer, Catherine suggested thoughtful ways to help me stand out and convince the seller that I was the right buyer. In Chicago's competitive real estate market, those small but strategic details can make all the difference--and they helped seal the sale. Catherine is kind, thorough, responsive and exceptionally knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market, pricing, construction quality and negotiation. I truly felt that I was in excellent hands throughout the entire process. You cannot go wrong with Catherine Boyle as your real estate agent. She is a true gem!

She was knowledgeable and extremely well connected, we ended up using all of her contacts for the entirety of the process and we felt taken care of and empowered by each one of them.

    If you're looking for the ideal real estate professional in Chicago, look no further! Christie is…read moreabsolutely unbelievable. She has a rare skillset that includes years of experience with the Chicago real estate market, insane organization and project management, a warm and inviting demeanor, a keen eye for critiquing properties honestly, and (perhaps most importantly), a deep understanding of her clients. While there were many people involved in the process of purchasing, she was the leader that did not let any balls drop and understood the motivations of everyone along the way. She took the time to drive us around the city neighborhoods for hours, before we even signed an exclusive agreement with her. She looked at properties for us while we lived across the country, and planned entire weekends house shopping for us when we came into town. She stopped us from making offers that we would not have been satisfied with in the long term. She walked us through every step of the buying process, which was new to us, and made us feel so comfortable along the way. She is the definition of "soft on the person, hard on the problem", and was a very strategic negotiator for us during the bidding process. She was always available to answer our multitude of questions via text and email, and even worked on an offer for us on the weekend of a big family event in her life. Even after we closed, she has shared her network with us for plumbing, roof work, etc. This was the biggest financial decision of our lives, but Christie made it easy, because she gained our complete trust. We will sing her praises to anyone entering into the buying or selling of real estate in Chicago. Thank you for everything, Christie! We feel so lucky to have found you.

From the start, Christie was incredibly responsive, thoughtful about my preferences and budget and was just a great partner through a really crazy market! I really appreciated her expertise and advice as we were looking at homes and in the bidding and sale process - it really helped me get comfortable as someone unfamiliar with the Chicago condo market and as a fairly inexperienced buyer. She was also incredibly helpful in visiting homes when I wasn't able to be there - including sharing videos and feedback and continuously communicating. I would really recommend anyone who is looking for a great realtor to work with Christie!!
