Thanks to my broker, Sheena, I acquire an amazing house purchasing in Chicago. If you want to buy an apartment, you should have a broker. A good broker will help you find a house that meets you need, though you also need some lucky. By searching on the Internet and comparing a bunch of agencies, I choose a good agency, Zhou Agency, which sent Sheena to be my broker. I live in China and my English is not good enough to handle bargain. I am a discreet and fussy person. I have some principles to my broker: 1. Have a good command of English and Chinese. 2. Responsible and faithful. 3. Have deep understanding of real estate in Chicago and familiar with related laws and regulations. 4. Having loads of life experience. The fact shows me do a correct choice. Since I knew Sheena, she provided me hundreds of apartments based on my need. She explained every features of each property and shared any details and notice of house purchasing in America with me patiently. She interpreted related documents word for word. She even derived me to do some field trip to make sure I get every points of the apartment and the surrounding situation. When I made the final decision, she fight for me to get more than $1,000 discount. What an amazing broker! Purchasing an apartment is not an easy thing, it is harder to buy one abroad. It is my luck to get this purchasing and it is my fortune to meet Sheena! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Justine Zhou and Amanda Chang for over two years, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Their deep expertise and professionalism have made what is often a stressful tax process feel smooth, clear, and manageable. What stands out most is their ability to answer even the most detailed questions with clarity and confidence. Whether it's personal or business-related tax matters, they've consistently provided thoughtful, accurate guidance. They've also been incredibly responsive, often making themselves available on short notice when time-sensitive decisions had to be made -- a level of service that's rare and greatly appreciated. Both Justine and Amanda bring extensive knowledge of the tax code, and it's clear they stay up to date with the latest changes and strategies. But beyond their technical expertise, they are genuinely a pleasure to work with -- professional, kind, and patient throughout every interaction. I look forward to continuing to work with them for years to come and would confidently recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, knowledgeable, and client-focused tax professionals. read more

Justine has been helping me out for years and this previous time I have been more thankful than ever. I trust her so when i needed to update insurance she set me up with a new insurance company and im so glad she put me on. When my car recently broke down i didnt even expect the response i got. That same day i had somebody take a look at the car and have it sent to a shop (transmission failire+ ect). The very next day i went to go pick up a rental, and when my car was finished in under 2 weeks my car was as good as new. I really didnt feel like i had to do anything which is usually not how it goes, it was the least stressful auto claim experience. If i didnt trust her and went my own way i more than likely wouldve also lost thousands on repair costs. What im trying to get to is Justine doesnt only do her job, she goes out of her way to make sure her clients get the very best. I strongly recommend her if you're looking! read more

We had been looking for a good local accountant since we moved from New York to Chicago three years ago. My previous CPA in NYC was excellent but it became a little inconvenient since we moved due to not being able to meet/talk in person. We worked with a local accountant last year and the experience wasn't pleasant. We found Jun Zhou's office by accident and decided to give her a try. It was the best decision I've ever made. The whole team acts very professionally: prompt service, detailed explanation, and being very approachable even during the very busy tax season. Our tax returns were done in excellent quality. I'll certainly recommend Jun Zhou's office without any reservation! read more

Zhou Agency has been handling my family's tax needs for about 7 years and I am pleased with every aspect of the Agency and the service I have received. Professional, knowledgeable and I trust in them completely. I just took out insurance policies with them for home and car and I am sorry I did not do it sooner. Lu was able to walk me through the process and took care of all the details and the entire process was stress-free and easy to understand. Lu went above and beyond in checking out the best type of insurance for me and she did it within a brief timeline. I really appreciate the service I have received from Zhou Agency and have recommended them to family and friends. read more

It's a great experience with Zhou Agency! At first, with kind help from Jojo and Wen Li, we purchased a satisfied townhouse at Northbrook in early 2016. The property meets all of my investment requirements. And then, Sheena helped me search a lots potential tenants in the next few days and recommended a very nice and reliable tenant with reasonable rent. I accepted and signed lease immediately, it's just two weeks after I signed the property purchase contract. The tenant proved to be the best! I always receive the monthly rent on time, and I never have any problems with the property, even I didn't visit my tenant during last 16 months. It is amazing! read more

Highly recommended!!! We have been using Zhou Agency for our tax return for several years. It is always pleasant to work with them especially Justine. Justine is very knowledgeable, efficient, professional and responsible. But the most valuable things I feel are that she is really looking out for her customers and the services we have been get from her are beyond tax return. She is always willingly to offer tips, suggestions, guidances regarding taxation, investment, money management, life insurance, real estate etc if you have problems with. Once again, always pleasant to work with Justine and her team. Highly recommended!!! read more

This is my first time filing tax not on my own. Justine has been very professional and helpful. A lot of advises were given in regard to the tax planning in addition to tax filing. Mine was an appointment, but I was told they can file tax through emails too so that I don't have to be physically present in the office for next year, which will save me some time for commute. Super neat that they offer parking option, which is just one block a way from the office. I was give a sticker to scan to waive the paring fee. Overall, I received personal attention and professional suggestions. Very satisfied and 100% would recommend read more

I have been coming to this office for about 5 years now and I am impressed by the level of professional service offered and by the ease of communication and passion by the staff. Also, I am a physician and the office is very accommodating with scheduling. I strongly recommend this office, particularly Justine. She has been very helpful in educating me in regards to tax planning and she has helped me get through the rigors of tax season. She stays in contact with me regularly and is very pleasant to have a conversation with! Will continue coming to this office. Looking forward to seeing Justine again. Thanks Zhou Agency! read more

I very Highly recommend Jun! We first met Jun when trying to file our taxes back in March, she was very knowledgeable and filing our taxes was a breeze. Prior to that we had been with other accountants where we had left very unsatisfied. Jun also gives great financial advice. She was able to go over where we should be investing as well as future planning on where to allocate our resources. I am not financial expert although I have read several books on financial planning, the advise the Jun gave just made sense in regards to our situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Jun to anybody that I know. read more

This is the first year working with Zhou Agency. Leah did my tax return. She was very professional. I asked some questions about the tax reform. Leah explained how it would affect my tax return in detail. I first called them and asked for a quote. They told me the price is different for different situations. I briefly told them my situation and got a quote range. Zhou Agency provides free parking for a few hours, and the office is on Michigan Avenue. This gave me a perfect excuse for shopping. Very happy that I chose them to file my tax return. I'll definitely be back next year. read more

My family has been Justine's customer for 10 years. She is smart, knowledgeable, trust worthy, kind, considerate, happy, positive, and honest. The unique quality about her is that she is always trying her best for the greatest of my family. It doesn't matter if it is an auto/ property insurance, a property purchase/sale, or a tax return, she never focuses on convincing us to do business with her. Instead, she shares with us the advantages and disadvantages, and let us make the final decision. Because of this, she has earned the trust of our family and many of our friends. read more

I've done my tax filing with Zhou's since 2011, the first year I started working. She always provides a great service, not only tax filing but also tax planning and insurance suggestions, at a low price for the past 6 years. I've introduced her to a lot of my friends, and everyone is happy with their service. Even if after I moved from Chicago to California, I am still doing the tax filing with them remotely. So do my other friends who move to different states. Definitely the top 1 choice if you don't want to waste time and money on the yearly tax filing. read more

Justine is absolutely amazing! She (and the rest of her team) work hard day, night, and even weekends for me. I am a young professional with no prior knowledge in a start up business. Whether I am communicating via email, phone, or even text I always receive an answer within the day! Justine, Jillian, and Jojo have gone out of their way to help educate me and teach me all the knowledge that they have. I am so thankful for the knowledge they have taught me and continue to teach me. I look forward to continuing my career with the Zhou Agency! read more

Just got my taxes file at the Jun Zhou CPA office for the first time and I think I found my tax accountant for next year! Yessenia was the accountant who assisted me with my taxes and she was extreme efficient with my taxes and patient in answering all my questions. Silly me decided to walk into the office without an appointment, bad call in busy tax season. Yessenia didn't even bat an eye and just told me to sit for a few minutes and she will be right with me. I was in and out in 45 mins with my tax in my hand. Fast, efficient and painless! read more

This is the first time I come here for a meeting where you can ask questions. Zhou is really passionate when it comes to helping her customer whether it's saving money or investment. She will give you great advice on saving money on taxes. The session I went, she had a list of things she's going to talk about and even though this is the first time I've heard any of those terms, she made sure to explain it in detail so everybody would understand. I highly recommend Zhou Agency to anyone. I know I'll come back in the future! read more

I have been using multiple services provided by Zhou Agency for last six years, including property acquisition, tax filing and insurance (for home, auto and life). I really appreciate their high-quality service, being a great great help for a busy mom like me. I got friendly reminder every year from my insurance advisor Lu when it came to the time to renew my insurance. She worked very hard to examine all options with me. I am very satisfied with the service. Will continue to work with them in the future. read more

I found Zhou Agency from yelp and was surprised that they have such a high rating. I asked for a quote from the yelp and they responded very quickly. The staff contacted me and asked me what kind of service I want to get. I told her my brief situation and she made a phone appointment for me so that I can talk to the professional staff. I really appreciated their efforts. They provided fantastic services. My accountant, Li was kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Zhou Agency! read more
