Anne is the consummate real estate professional. As first-time home buyers navigating our way through the Deerfield real estate market, Anne's knowledge and experience was indispensable. With Anne's guidance, my wife and I knew exactly what we had to do to best present ourselves as "attractive" buyers in a seller's market. Anne is also an effective negotiator. Anne has the exceptional ability to gauge the other party's mindset and predict how it will respond in a contract negotiation. I don't believe that a lesser-experienced agent would have fared as well in such a difficult market. Anne worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home, and she quickly accomplished that goal. If you're looking to buy or sell your home, do yourself a favor and contact Anne. read more

Anne is an outstanding agent with deep knowledge of the North Shore and connections both within sister Coldwell Banker offices and amongst other brokerages. Anne prioritizes her clients over everything and has shown us many houses even during each and every polar vortex so far! She has a vast experience to share knowledge and is refreshingly honest and forthright. And most importantly, she listens! I could not recommend Anne more highly. Additionally, Peter L's comments below are, at best, an incomplete summary of one side of a very complicated situation. One in which the seller did not uphold contractual obligations and is evidently taking to the interwebs to vent. Anne represents her clients in the utmost ethical nature. read more

We loved working with Anne and Lindsey. My husband and I were first-time buyers looking for a single-family home in the Buffalo Grove/Vernon Hills area. We chose the Kaplan team as our agents because they knew the market so well. They were great about educating us as buyers without pressuring us to put in a bid. So by the time we first saw the house that we ended up buying, we both knew enough about the market and our own preferences to be very confident that it was the right house for us. It's a great feeling. Also, they were very responsive and helpful for all of our questions from the beginning to the end of the process (inspection, closing, etc.). If we need a realtor again, they would be our first choice hands down. read more

I worked with Anne twice in the past 3 years and found her abilities and insights to be exceptional. She's incredibly focused and dedicated to the task at hand and follows up with all parties proactively. She managed to get me the best price when I bought my home and top dollar when I sold it. In fact, it sold without an open house because of her vast network of agents/buyers. Did I mention I got top dollar? The transactions were smooth in both cases because she manages her time and resources professionally. I highly recommend Anne Kaplan for any real estate transaction; in my opinion, she's the best agent one can find and you'll be lucky to work with her. read more

The Kaplan team was absolutely WONDERFUL in helping us find a house that we love. Anne was great, and so patient during our lengthy home search! We had a few prospects not pan out, and she couldn't have been more understanding. Lindsey was extremely responsive in sending us contracts and answering our many questions. We ended up finding a new listing we loved, and both Anne and Lindsey acted so quick to make things happen and get us our dream home. They were super to work with, and just really great people. We would highly recommend using the Kaplan team when listing or purchasing a home! You will be in good hands! read more
