Gloria was amazing! As first time home buyers we where both super nervous and excited to go through…read morethe process to find our dream home and Gloria was there every step of the way. She answered all of our questions and guided us in the right direction. She was honest about the home buying process and comforted us when we got worried. She worked with our work schedules to see the house multiple times and offered to show our families the home before we made our huge decision. She also helped us figure out things such as garbage, mail, brush pick up, after we moved in. Buying a house is a nerve wracking experience and we where happy to have Gloria there with us for this adventure, we wouldn't have got the house of our dreams without her expertise and knowledge!

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 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.

I moved into a garden-level (basement) unit managed by GC Realty & Development in October 2025…read more While maintenance requests were generally responded to quickly, many of the underlying issues were never properly resolved, resulting in repeated problems throughout my tenancy. Within the first few weeks of moving in, my apartment flooded. Maintenance responded, but the issue was never fully corrected, and the unit flooded two additional times within the same year. During one incident, a plumber attempted to rod the sewer line, but a City of Chicago employee who responded advised that the equipment being used was too small for the job. This information was reported to management, but no additional action appeared to be taken. During severe storms in the spring and summer of 2026, the building lost power for approximately a day and a half. Because the sump pumps were electrically powered and no backup battery system had been installed, I was unable to use the bathroom facilities and had to leave the apartment. The lack of a backup system created significant inconvenience and concern. The unit also experienced multiple water intrusion issues. Water leaked into the rear of the apartment, and I was informed there was a large hole in the roof that had not been repaired. As a result, water stains developed in several areas of the unit, including the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Additional leaks from an upstairs unit caused water damage in my bathroom and kitchen. There were electrical outlets located near some of the areas affected by water intrusion, which raised safety concerns. The apartment contained a whirlpool bathtub, but the jets did not function because they had been disabled. The tub itself was stained and unusable for its intended purpose. Many fixtures and building systems appeared outdated, including the HVAC system. An inspector who visited before the building was sold confirmed that airflow throughout the apartment was inconsistent due to the age of the system. Certain rooms remained cold in the winter and difficult to cool during the summer. Also to mention the windows has not been updated since the building has been built (2009). The outside of the windows is rotting out at the bottom. They put cauking on the outside to stop the draft instead of replacing the whole thing. The property's exterior also presented concerns. The front metal staircase and rear porch exhibited extensive rust. Rather than replacing the entire structure, only the walking surface panels were replaced. Residents reported concerns about the condition of these structures. Additionally, the electric gate serving the rear parking area stopped functioning and remained unresolved despite being reported. Approximately three to four months after moving in, the slats on a utility closet bi-fold door began falling out. I submitted a maintenance request asking that the door be repaired or replaced. Instead, GC Realty & Development charged my account $466 for a replacement door, alleging tenant-caused damage. When I requested proof that I had damaged the door, no evidence was provided. The only photographs supplied were prior move-in photos. I disputed the charge because I believed the issue resulted from normal wear and tear rather than tenant negligence. Another concern involved communication and tenant relations. It was often difficult to reach anyone with decision-making authority. Communication generally occurred through lower-level staff, and obtaining responses from supervisors or management was challenging. The property owners themselves did not directly communicate with tenants. Despite the unresolved maintenance issues throughout the property, GC Realty & Development attempted to increase my rent by approximately $120, mind you I'm already paying $1,980 for a garden apartment. Around the same time, my online rent payment portal was disabled because I disputed the $466 door charge. I have maintained stable employment for over 13 years and have consistently paid rent on time. August 2026 was the first month in which I was unable to make a payment, solely because access to the payment portal had been restricted. After the building was sold, I was informed by the new management that GC Realty & Development had recommended not renewing my lease, allegedly due to unpaid rent. However, the outstanding balance was directly related to the disputed charge and the disabled payment portal. Prior to this situation, I had no history of late rent payments during my tenancy. Overall, my experience with GC Realty & Development was disappointing. While maintenance requests were often acknowledged, recurring flooding, water damage, unresolved building issues, disputed charges, communication difficulties, and payment-related disputes created an ongoing pattern of frustration. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend renting a property managed by GC Realty & Development. The Owners should be ashamed as well!! NISON & IRENA

There's so much to mention when I think about the value, precision and real estate expertise…read moreCharnell provides as a Realtor and as a real estate agent coach. I was licensed as a real estate agent in 2021 and joined a boutique luxury realty company. As an independent contractor, I was solely responsible for my business as a Realtor. With no prior real estate experience, I was sort of lost. I learned about Charnell's 90 Day Run and was pleased with my results after just 90 days! After months of no home sales, I finally closed on a home sale! My hang up was negotiations during our busy summer real estate season. Charnell offered negotiation tips, templates and coaching throughout my first sale. She reviewed each step in great detail, from making an offer to closing. I was even able to work in the field with some of her long time real estate investor clients. If you're looking for an experienced Realtor, coach or investor strategist, I recommend giving Charnell a try!

After our parents passed, my brother and I kept the home/house we grew up in as a rental. When it…read morecame time to sell it, our vision was clouded by history and preferences of retired guys. For us it was a home & not a building. Marco helped us choose a decorating scheme that attracted contemporary buyers and suggested a way to stage the living room that we couldn't have dreamed of. After the prep, he had 2 offers after 7 showings. One of them was full price and "as is". Marco helped with negotiations after the village's pre-sale inspection came back with requirements that would be found in new construction and were not common when the home was built in 1950. The house was listed after Labor Day and closed at the end of October. I recommend Marco as a realtor and would not look anywhere else.
