I especially am referencing agent Hui Li. My wife and I were out of town and specifically told our listing agent that we couldn't accommodate any showings for the weekend. Hui Li lied and said they had approval from my agent to view my home. They pressured my teenage son the let them in and made all sorts of demands, such as putting my dogs away. Stupid move Hui Li! My dogs could have KILLED you and your clients. Are you really that stupid??? You are a moron of the highest degree!!! By no means are you or anyone who you represent will ever be allowed in my house, EVER!!!! Do you understand me?!?!?! You broke trust with your dishonest practices. You should lose your real estate license, if you even have one. Prove to us you do! I would advise anyone out there to stay away from this lady. No smart at all and a liar. She's looking out for her bottom line without any regard for the safety of her clients. Don't say I didn't warn you.

It definitely is a process they do not teach you about in school, so working with Ann made me feel comfortable. She was responsive, attentive, and gave it 100% at all times.

After talking with…read moreher and seeing a few properties, we realized that we wanted to move much faster than we initially planned. Anne was amazing during the entire process. She helped us get our house ready to sell, found a new house to buy, and finished all of the paperwork in record time. Even with our expedited timeline, we were blown away with her ability to get us into house in a fantastic neighborhood at a price we loved... and sold our previous home for more than we had imagined. We have now been in our new home for over a year and I still can't imagine going through the whirlwind process with anyone else. She is an extremely solid agent that I would recommend to everyone!

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!

You buy a property, gut it, and less than a month later (without renos mind you) you put it up for sale $250k more than your purchase price. Make it make sense. The most you should ask for is the purchase price you paid plus demo price. Whoever your agent is in charge of that property is also difficult to work with. He doesn't let anyone get a word out to have a normal human being conversation. Won't go near your agency with a 10 ft pole.

Wanted to look at an house and received the following message from the Realtor at John Greene…read more There is an up front fee of $50 to setup the viewing of the house, and a 3.5% buyers commission (non negotiable if you put in an offer) that a contract must be signed prior to viewing the house. While I understand the laws have changed around buyers commission and sellers commission fee, the percentage requested up front is more than the average commission received by sellers today... usually it's 6% total (buyer/seller) and 1% goes to the sellers company, and selling realtor gets 2.5% to 3.0% and buying realtor gets 2.0% to 2.5%. Even then everything should be negotiable between the buyer/seller which is what the law was changed to mean.. Would not recommend anyone deal with Amanda from John greene Realtor.

Hallelujah y'all, my house is finally sold! The process was more stressful than buying a home and…read morewe are so glad it's over. We originally contacted Angie in the beginning of July. We wanted to work with her based on her sales history within this past year. At the time, her profile showed 59 sales. She had great reviews and with 16 years of experience, we wanted to work with someone who is a seasoned agent. Hubby did most of the correspondences and all were answered immediately. Being first time sellers, we had tons of questions, especially the whole logistic with living out of state. Angie assured us that she's worked with several out of state clients and explained the process to us. All the paperwork was done electronically, so that part of the process was super convenient. She did a home evaluation with my nephew and pointed out the updates that were needed. At that time we were not clear that the updates were pretty much required but we had thought they were just suggestions. Our plan was to do what we could and give credit for what wasn't finished. My nephew did what he could to help us out, but as the weeks passed and due to the amount of updates, we were eager to finish things up so we drove up there on Labor Day weekend in hopes of finishing up what we could. That was when we meet with Angie in person for the first time. She was personable and straight forward. She reiterated the updates and made us realize they're really not optional, such as painting the wood trim. She explained the painting is necessary since houses with peeling paint can not be shown to certain buyers, and we wanted to appeal to all buyers. Once the updates were completed, Angie set up a professional photographer to take photos for the listing which is included with her fees. We had an offer after two weeks and man, they tried to low ball us. It was ridiculous. We countered back and forth and finally came to an agreement. In hindsight, we probably would have gotten back more if we listened to Angie, but were motivated sellers and didn't want to lose out on the deal. Any problems that occurred along the way (and there were many), Angie went above and beyond took care of them all. She is a workaholic and provided excellent service. Despite a personal emergency towards the end, she still did not let up on the follow-ups and stayed on top of the file no matter. We would highly recommend her.

However, working with the Bridget Carroll team proved that finding your forever home can be a breeze. Bridget was able to find viable properties in my dream neighborhood of Chicago that matched my long wish list.

At every step in our process I felt heard, supported, and excited to make my largest financial commitment to date. We are so happy that we had Bridget in our corner to make the dream of finding our Ukrainian Village house a reality - could not have done it without her.

Heather helped us find the right house and for the right price. Us being first time home buyers, we had many questions. Heather was very patient with us about everything. She answered all our questions and helped so much with the process from beginning to end. What was truly exceptional to us is that Heather was truly focused on helping us find the perfect first home, answering our questions and giving us great advice. She never made us feel rushed, or that we were bothering her. She never made it seem like she was rushing the deal. If you are looking to sell or purchase a home, I would highly recommend Heather Brunoehler as your Realtor.

I have experienced other agents, and they cannot hold a candle to the quality of services you will receive from Linda and Jim!
