From our first meeting, he was incredibly patient and took the time to explain the end-to-end process in detail, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect and when. What we appreciated most was how he truly listened to our 'wants vs. needs' and remained extremely attentive throughout the entire search. He wasn't just trying to make a sale; he consistently gave his honest, expert opinion on every home we toured. If you want a realtor who is transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely has your best interests at heart, look no further than Lance!

Jane provided great recommendations on what to fix and update to get faster results, and she was right on point. She's incredibly professional, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Catherine Boyle is an exceptional real estate agent, and I feel incredibly fortunate that she…read morehelped me find my first condo. 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!

Matt himself came to see our…read moreproperty for the initial meeting and we had a great impression of his expertise in the Chicago real estate market. From start to finish, his team is very professional and incredibly well organized. We were kept up to date for each showing and provided with immediate feedback. Matt also has a list of preferred partners such as attorneys that we used and had a great experience with. We also appreciated how reachable Matt was and felt that he had an appropriate level of involvement throughout the entire process.

As first-time home buyers, we could not have asked for a better experience working with Matt and…read morehis team. During the initial phase of the process you could tell Matt intimately knew the neighborhoods we were looking in and precisely what to expect from each property we toured. We valued all his expertise and insights about each building we expressed interest in. Any questions we had along the way were responded to very quickly, whether it was email, talk, or text. As far as his negotiation skills, we won the very first bid we offered! Throughout the closing process we appreciated the constant communication and organization of his team to achieve a seamless 30 day close. There's no question Matt is a master at his craft and we would easily recommend him and his team for all your real estate needs.

I would highly recommended them for your needs in the Chicago area as you will not be disappointed.

She was always easy to get a hold of, a no bs kind of person, and incredibly helpful in walking me through the process as a first time home buyer. Margie didn't make me feel pressured to purchase above my price range like a previous realtor did and while I was hesitant at first to truly trust her, I felt like she was really just on my side the entire time. She's realistic about expectations and has her clients best interests. Even when she was away, she was very responsive at all times and made sure her associate, Benita, was easy to contact and tour places with me. I would 10/10 recommend her. Thank you, Margie and Benita!

Several similar properties had been marketed for months, providing steep competition. To prepare for our listing, Margie applied her thoughtfulness and artistry and staged the property to emphasize its best attributes. She presented a well-qualified buyer to the Estate within a short time frame. This precluded foreclosure and left funds to begin the process of settling other debts of the Estate. Margie is ethical, experienced, gifted, and indefatigable. We look forward to working with her again, and we recommend her without reservation. Margie - thank you so much!!!!!

We moved out of our first home and decided to rent it out after working with a realtor and learning…read morethe market wasn't what we needed in order to break even on what we owed. After 4 years the market was looking better and I met with a realtor who told me our house would sell for about the least I said we would take on it (imagine that) then I talked with Tammy who did a full market comparison on the property and gave us a much higher estimate of sale price. Tammy also offered to come out to the property and take a look around to give us ideas on where to focus our efforts to get it ready for market. She had a lot of great ideas and some we hadn't thought of but totally made sense - like matching all of the door knobs for a consistent look (cheap but really did make a difference). Tammy remained available and we listed our home and had an offer within 9 days! Tammy helped us work through the offer and finalize a contract within the first few hours. She kept us informed regularly, calmed us down when we needed it, always returned communication quickly. We were sometimes high maintenance but she was always relatable, professional, patient, understanding and quick with answers. We worked with other realtors (when we bought that home, also when we first tried to sell it 4 years ago) so we have experience working with others - she is great! She knows what she's doing and it shows! My husband and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell (or buy for that matter) a home.

Once we started at looking at places, I never felt pressured or rushed to make an offer. I also felt that Michael was very honest and genuine which I appreciated being new to real estate. He has so much knowledge about the city of Chicago and different neighborhoods (I ended up in Wicker Park but we looked all over). When I finally found my place there was some back and forth bidding with another buyer and Michael guided me through that stressful situation and did everything he could to ensure that I got my home! Thank you Michael and for anyone reading this - I would highly recommend him for your real estate needs!

This is my second posting on Michael Michalak. Both get 5 stars. When our son first moved to…read moreSeattle Mike suggested we hold off making the sale. A year later my wife and I moved to San Rafael, CA. So neither my son or I were in Chicago anymore. Michael handled the sale of Andy's condo and set up the closing for us with a local attorney. It was handled in a highly professional way and I'd definitely work with Michael again if we were ever to do something in the Chicago area again. I've worked with several real estate agents over the years as Lynn and I changed residences. Michael was one of the best we've worked with and I highly recommend his services. In the interim....stay safe, wear a mask and make it a great day!

If you are at all hesitant about working with the Dumas realty group... look no further, they are…read morethe real deal!! Stacie was THE BEST, an absolute lifesaver for me. Moving from Phoenix, I had to find a rental fast. I flew in and had only four days to tour properties, but Stacie was up for the challenge. After finding properties I was interested in on the MLS, Stacie set-up the tours and was persistent in her follow-up communication with the landlords/brokers. I never felt like time was being wasted--she was always 2 steps ahead of me and working diligently on my behalf. On the first day of tours she picked me and gave me a driving tour of the neighborhoods I was interested in. She answered all of my questions without judgement and even gave me restaurant recommendations! Stacie is remarkably savvy and competent in her field of work, though I am most impressed with her compassion, honesty, and down-to-earth attitude. Ultimately she helped place me in a spacious, renovated unit in the South Loop that far exceeded my expectations. I am beyond grateful for Stacie's help and would recommend her and her group to anyone trying to rent in the Chicago area. Thank you!
