Realogy Holdings Corp. has been named among the World's Most Ethical Companies for the seventh year in a row.

This designation was awarded by the Ethisphere® Institute, a leading international business ethics think tank. This office has the most ethical well respected agents in the Chicago area. As part of the licensing process and continuing education ethics is a large part of the training. Many people and clients do not understand the transaction process and commissions. Usually 5% is charged to the sellers(zero to the buyers) less on more expensive properties. This is split between the buyers side broker and the seller side broker. The commission then split again between the brokerage company and the agent. after the selling agent pays for marketing(pictures,video,staging,cleaning etc.) and countless hours of work taking home 1% is common. So I am not sure what anonymous is talking about.

A Seamless Experience with Exceptional Results…read more This is our second time working with Praveen Mathew on a real estate transaction, and once again, he exceeded our expectations. Two years ago, my wife and I were first-time homebuyers searching for a house in Glenview, the suburb we wanted to call home. Despite the challenges of a competitive market, Praveen's expert negotiation skills helped us secure our first home under the asking price--a remarkable achievement that set the tone for our trust in him. Fast forward two years, and we found ourselves casually exploring the idea of upgrading to a slightly larger home with a fenced backyard, still within the same area. Praveen made the process stress-free, sharing private listings without any pressure. Over the course of a month, we viewed several homes with him, and rather than pushing us to settle, he meticulously pointed out flaws in each property, ensuring that we wouldn't compromise on finding our dream home at the right price. Then, a house that was well beyond our budget appeared on the market. Initially, we considered viewing it purely for inspiration, but after falling in love with it, we thought it was out of reach. Praveen, however, didn't let that stop him. He reached out to the listing agent and began what can only be described as masterful negotiations. Over time, he managed to secure the house for $350,000 below the asking price, along with additional incentives like finishing the backyard fence, installing CAT6 wiring and a Tesla charger, and ensuring cable lines were in place. Thanks to Praveen's expertise, we landed our dream home--and more--within our budget. Selling our current home was the next challenge. As I had a physicians loan, I was limited to one loan at a time, so timing was critical. Praveen confidently assured us that he could sell our home quickly and guided us through preparing it for market. His advice, such as painting bathroom cabinets instead of replacing them and rearranging furniture to maximize space, transformed our home into a buyer's dream. After professional photos were taken, we almost reconsidered moving because the house looked so incredible. Within 24 hours of listing, we hosted an open house that attracted over 25 families, resulting in multiple offers--all above asking price. Ultimately, we sold the house for nearly $200,000 more than we had purchased it for two years prior, and over $100,000 above asking price. Praveen seamlessly coordinated the sale and purchase so that we closed both homes on the same day, using the proceeds from our sale for the new home's down payment. Praveen's knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process incredibly smooth. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients. Whether you're buying or selling a home, I cannot recommend Praveen Mathew enough.

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!
