He and the whole LAKE Group Team was incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of homeownership and took the time to explain the ins and outs of the process so we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. From our first tour through closing, he walked us through every step of the way, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood what was happening at each stage. We truly felt like we had someone in our corner throughout the entire process.

He always lets us know when he is coming down, when he says he will do something (He does it), and he goes above and beyond to make you feel like you have a good place to work.

Our business rents a commercial space from them and they consistently go above and beyond. Like fixing things (and paying for it) even when the contract says it's our responsibility. If you have the opportunity to rent from these guys, you'd be stupid not to. Having had my fair share of awful landlords, I'm keenly aware of how important (wonderful and rare) it is to have a really great one. If we ever have to move, we'll find another one of their buildings.

After having my prior apartment flood I decided that it was time to move. Both to be on a higher…read morefloor and to be more central in the city for my hospital rotations. As I do not know the city well I decided to get the help of professionals to help navigate the situation and ended up going with Dumas and Associates. During my apartment search I worked with Nikki and Rena, who were both incredibly helpful. They were communicative, proactive in contacting apartments I wanted to look at, and were in my corner when it came to filling out applications and other paperwork. I'm fairly certain that without their help the process of finding a new place would have been many times harder. On top of that, I found their compensation structure to be very transparent and fair. At no point was I blindsided by an unexpected fee or bill. I don't know if I'll ever be moving around the city again, but if I do I'd happily work with this group again.

She was always ready to get us in to see listings as soon as possible, helped us to get a better understanding of what we were looking for, and was there to answer any and all questions we had. I highly recommend using Nikki as your realtor-- couldn't say enough good things about her both as a professional and as a person.

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!

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

She was an absolute delight and a great representation of the rest of her firm. She was very responsive to any questions and concerns my roommate and I had (less than 1 hour after any text/call/email). She also guided us through the application process, making it clear and easy, and was more than understanding of our unconventional income. We're both college students making most of our money in summer internships and part-time jobs, so this understanding was SUPER important for us.

Do not rent any apartment that's run by Andrea Miller. They are unresponsive to any issue through…read morephone call, text and emails. Miller tells you to make a portal request (that also goes ignored). They ended up blocking my number when I simply asked for my parking remote deposit back. It has been over a month since the end of my lease, and they never returned my money. Only after I posted a Google review, they said the parking remote was broken. How would I have moved my car out of a gated parking spot without a functioning remote? When living there, I had dirty water filling up my sink and overflowing onto the wooden floors due to a plumbing issue related to another unit in the building. It took Miller two weeks to send a plumber to fix the issue. I was putting towels down to avoid damage to the floors but the water was non-stop. I was washing my dishes in the tub for two weeks. As seen in the attached photos, I warned them that there would be inevitable water damage from this. I quickly noticed the water damage due to their delay in fixing the plumbing issue. I documented this in the portal with pictures. The portal request, texts, calls and emails went unanswered for months. When I finally got ahold of Andrea Miller on the phone, she told me that the water damage was my fault! She told me to contact my renters insurance, saying the repair was my responsibility! When I demanded flooring contractors to inspect the damage, the contractors laughed and said this was fully the responsibility of Miller management. The damage to my flooring was fixed TEN MONTHS after the plumbing issue. My rent was even raised during this time. See photos attached with dates to het a glimpse of how you will be ignored as a tenant. My lease over October 31st, and when I contacted them to return my deposit for the parking remote/ keys that I returned, they BLOCKED my number! Avoid this management nightmare at all costs.
