Mary Nack kept her team together when she recently joined Jameson Sotheby's International Realty…read more And they are a GREAT team! Last spring I became a really finicky buyer hunting for my forever home - and Mary was my realtor. She knows the city by Zip Codes as well as neighborhoods and various landmarks. So we looked up and down the Lakefront, in and out of Lincoln Square, places north and far from the Lake. Summer was over, I still was homeless and just a bit wiser after making a misguided offer. Mary has tech techniques that aided the search but even with daily doses of Homesnap and realtor-dot-com I still had no condo in my future. She was very matter of fact, not gaggy-cheerful, as she repeated our mantra: "it's there, we just have to find it." Long story short, IT was there, had been sitting by the Lake since February. Mary's team got me set up with lender for financial pre-approval, a marvelous father-son inspection duo, and we were set to close before Halloween. Three days before the date mortgage lender called to say the deal was off because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac did not like what they saw as a legal liability. Mary and team involved seller's realtor who discovered FHA would bless the deal if we jumped through a few more hoops and I agreed to pay a few more fees. We did, I did, they did and we finally closed after Thanksgiving. So Christmas in my new home was doubly blessed, thanks to Mary Nack, her team of lender, inspectors and attorney. They are a very professional team and work so well together.

As a first time home buyer, finding the right realtor was essential. Mary stepped in and with her…read more30 years of industry experience guided me through the process, reassured me and answered all of my questions throughout the journey. It was a seamless experience! She is personable and respectful of the time you need to make the right choice for yourself. It took me a few weeks to find my home, but I ended up closing on July 21st, 2017. She recommended a lender who was stellar (Debra Parisian) and an attorney (Steven Sandusky). Since this was a fixer-upper she also gave me the name of a contractor. Everything is going as planned so far. You don't just get Mary, you get a great team!

Pooja Naik - Weichert Realtors…read more We had the pleasure of working with Pooja recently when we relocated from Chicago to NYC. She was FANTASTIC from start to finish. It was a very chaotic time for us personally, but she took care of the most stress inducing aspect - selling the condo. From officially listing the place to final sale was completed in JUST a week!! She was able to get the price that I hoped for and negotiated the closing in out favor. In terms of customer service, she was always readily available and very pleasant. She went over and beyond to make sure nothing was short of great! I would highly recommend her to anyone who expects a true partner & champion!

Renee did a fantastic job selling my Lincoln Park town home last year…read more I'll be honest, what I asked of her was a lot. And she came through each and every time. She has a great eye for design and knowing what clicks in the eyes of buyers. There are some realtors who will advise their clients to simply make every possible upgrade in advance of listing their home, disregarding the financial investment needed to make them. After all, it's not their money at stake! Renee understood the delicate balance of making the place look great and spending money judiciously. She marketed the place tremendously, as we had upward of 20 showings in just first few days of listing. I ended up accepting an offer within FIVE DAYS of listing, at full price. To date, my unit still holds the record for the highest selling price in my complex, which has over 150 units..... There's obviously a lot of great realtors in Chicago, but if you're reading this, it means you're actively searching for one you can trust. Renee is one of them. Do yourself a favor and give her a call.

She is reliable, honest, direct and decisive (which really came in handy when my husband and I were not). She would always pick up the phone to talk to us - even on the weekends or late into the night. Once, I even called her the night before a day full of showings she had planned for us with a whole slew of new places I wanted to see, and she didn't bat an eye. That was a Sunday, and she got right on the phone to make sure we could fit them into the schedule the next day. During those showings, she brought things to my attention I would have never thought to look out for. When we were wish-washy on a certain place, she remained objective but would give us questions to think about along with her honest point of view based on what she knew of our personalities. And more than anything, Renee is fun! I can't think of anyone I would rather ride around with from showing to showing. So much so, that I was a little sad when we did find a place. Now I just look forward to when we're ready to buy so we can work with her again!

I first worked with Yvonne years ago when I needed help renting out my lakefront condo while living in California. She handled everything seamlessly, finding me two great tenants on two separate occasions. When I decided to sell my condo this year, there was no question about who I wanted to handle that transaction--I hired Yvonne again. And I'm so glad I did! Thanks to Yvonne's expert marketing and pricing strategy, we had strong interest right away, and we ended up accepting an offer the first week and closing on my condo that month! Her deep knowledge of the Rogers Park market, sharp negotiation skills, and strong network (she even connected me with an excellent real estate attorney) made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Whether you're buying, selling, or renting in Chicago, Yvonne is the agent you want on your side. She's professional, responsive, and a true expert in her field. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Unfortunately, that offer fell through, but Yvonne was back in the game that week. She is at every showing and doesn't leave a lock box. She believes in being there to sell not just the home, but the neighborhood. Seven days later, I had another offer. It was more than the first one!! That one took a lot longer than anyone expected to close, but Yvonne was there with encouragement and advice. I highly recommend Yvonne to help you sell your home or condo.

Following an initial walkthrough of my condominium, she provided a market analysis and stated we needed to schedule a professional photo shoot. I responded three days later explaining I had been traveling and asked her to coordinate a date. That was in October. She never replied. In February, I followed up again via email to move forward, and once again, she completely ignored me. She essentially disappeared without a word. While "ghosting" a client is incredibly unprofessional, I ultimately have her silence to thank for a much better financial outcome. Her suggested listing price for my property was $365,000. My new Realtor listed the home at $425,000, and it ultimately sold for $440,000.
