My husband passed away and I had to sell our waterfront property on the Chain of Lakes because it…read morewas too much of an upkeep for me. I chose All waterfront Realty because when we bought the property that was the real estate agency that handled the sale and I felt they would be familiar with the property. After we got a buyer, they referred me to an attorney to handle the sale. Between All Waterfront , the attorney they referred me to and the buyers Chicago attorney, they changed the terms of the contract without ever asking for my approval. I also want to mention I didn't care for the attorney that they referred me to either. After that, they gave me a list of people and companies to call for testing at the house. I also called people and companies that I looked up. I came to realize that I could get some of the testing done cheaper with companies that I looked up. I chose one or two companies of my choice and I paid them directly. It was an eye-opener for me because at that point I realized the kickbacks were going on between the real estate and everybody they referred me to. They also had someone of their choice come out to do a Radon Inspection in the basement. When it came down to emptying the garage and the house with everything that didn't sell at the estate sale All Front Realty wanted me to sign a document that I would use their workers, who would keep certain items in the garage for themselves. My husband was a Tradesman and he had tools and supplies for almost every trade. They wanted to charge me $200.00 an hour for this job and they wouldn't give me a time frame as to how many hours it would take to remove everything. When Jeff came back to pick up the contract, I was on my driveway and several of my neighbors were on theirs. When I told Jeff and his wife Robin that I wasn't going to sign the contract because it was too vague and I got somebody else. Both of them started screaming and yelling at me. After they left, my neighbors approached me and told me they were appalled at how they were speaking to me and that it was none of their business who I hired. When Jeff came back to my house for a Final Inspection, he called the the guy I hired on the side and asked him how much I was paying him, he also asked him for his business card and wanted to hire him. My advice would be if you're selling your house try to do as much as you can on your own with friends and family. Sad to say, but the majority of companies and people that are out there try to take advantage of you if they can.

After 20+ years of estate sale shopping across Illinois, I can say without hesitation--Party of 5…read moreEstate Sale is in a league of their own. Fair pricing, clear organization, and a calm, enjoyable experience (which is rare in this world) make every sale worth showing up for. But what truly sets them apart is the heart behind it. This is a hardworking family, and it shows in the way they treat every home, every item, and every customer--with genuine respect. As someone with an average household, I appreciate being able to find beautiful, unique pieces at prices that actually make sense--without turning to big-box stores or paying for shipping. It feels good to support a business that values both people and sustainability. They're not just selling items--they're giving pre-loved pieces a second life and keeping them out of landfills. If you see their name on a sale, go. You won't regret it.

We viewed dozens of homes over the course of nearly 12 months and Chris was always available to fit our schedule. We dragged him all over Lake and McHenry counties. We had specific requirements of the type of home we wanted and he gave us plenty to consider. His insights into the mindset of the sellers always seemed to be right on, including the home we ended up purchasing in December 2016. It was a home that Chris brought to our attention (although many were homes that we found and he arranged a showing). This one was slightly out of our range, but he helped us strategize and we got the house at the high end of our price cap. It's a unique, lovely home that we never would have considered if it were not for Chris. His assistance through closing and even after made the experience the best it could be. In addition, his terrific sense of humor was present throughout the whole process. I highly recommend using Chris Peters as your realtor.

We were schedule to see the house Monday morning; however, Carolyn presented offers to the buyers Sunday evening. When my realtor said to Carolyn that she should have told us she was accepting offers, Carolyn told my realtor she didn't have to tell her anything.

It's sad she did her sellers wrong..I would never use this realtor if I were you. And buyers for this home...I'm sorry you got screwed over.
