Her years of experience in this market has provided invaluable support for the major life decisions involved in buying and selling a family home.

Patti is just the best. I can't recommend her enough. She knows the area and knows what her clients want. She is thoughtful, communicative, smart, and honest. I was so nervous with the idea of buying a house, but with Patti's help, we were able to find the right place at the right price. We're loving our home and wouldn't be in it without Patti. We are truly thankful and grateful for Patti's help. I have already recommended her to multiple friends who are considering buying a house. She gave us the time, attention, and knowledge that we needed to find our home that we could build our family in.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and professional real estate advisor who makes every effort to show her buyer just the right properties, Laurie is the one. She “dropped everything” for us to accommodate our need to find an urban get-a-way in one day. Thanks to her perseverance with the listing agent, Laurie arranged for us to be the first party to look at our property just prior to the open house. We made an offer on the spot, closed within one month, and are nearly settled into our urban oasis. Thanks, Laurie!

Having to sell our house for reasons that are out of one's control was one of the most stressful situations in my life. Laurie's knowledge and guidance throughout the process was incredibly encouraging. I couldn't thank her and the RE/MAX team enough.

This was an estate sale. Laurie Christofano was recommended by a co-worker, and I liked her from the minute I met her. She was extremely compassionate and reassuring. I was overwhelmed by the stress of having to settle my parent's estate quickly, but I sensed that Laurie would calmly guide us through the process. She did that and more. My brother was living in the house and Laurie understood and commiserated with my deep concerns for his future. She made it her task to find suitable housing for him, (he purchased a condo through Laurie), and basically restored my sanity. Incidentally, my brother is quite pleased with his new home. I couldn't expect to have had a better experience with a different realtor. Ms. Christofano transcended her role in the most professional manner. I now consider her a friend. She provided me with hope during one of the roughest years of my life. I'm looking forward to working with Laurie when it comes time for my husband and I to purchase a home. Hopefully this will happen within the next year. I wouldn't consider using a competitor or anyone but Laurie herself for this future purchase!

Laurie had worked with us before. She keeps in touch and is knowledgeable about the market. We have just signed with her to sell our home, and we expect that she will work tirelessly to sell it. Laurie was very flexible in showing us houses. In fact, we squeezed in the viewing of the house we ended up purchasing. We had seen it on line--just had been listed--and Laurie was willing to take us to see it and very quickly.

This was an estate sale, Laurie has significant experience with estate sales and knows the Oak Park market very well. She provided proper guidance and advice. She understood our needs for a quick sale, given the property was listed in early January the property went under contract within 20 days. I highly recommend her and would use her services again.

Patti is a top notch agent who excels in home staging and negotiation. She happily took on the selling role for our property while other agents wanted nothing to do with it. Patti a very strong agent who knows the Oak Park area. With Patti's preparedness we were able to close the deal in less than 45 days and without hitch. I would definitely recommend Patti for future real estate transactions.

We bought our home in 2011 and sold it in 2015 with Patti and both experiences were excellent. In both cases we were new to home purchase/sale and Patti helped walk us through the process and if I might say "held our hand" the whole way. She gave us all our recommendations for inspectors, lawyers, and contractors. Everyone we called said "Oh you're with Patti? You're in good hands, whatever she says!" (no exaggeration) Home buy - we looked at 15-20 places. She had a lot of great input and wasn't afraid to walk away immediately upon entering if the place was a lemon. The house we bought was perfect, and she helped us negotiate a great price. Home Sale - her market analysis was spot on. Her staging advice and professional photography made the house look great. We got an offer in a couple days, she helped negotiate a price we were happy with, and she worked with us through closing. It was an FHA loan which is tricky, but she helped with the specially required "appraisal" and follow up. Patti gets busy sometimes, but she's flexible and makes herself available.

We are forever thankful for Laurie's patience being new to the home buying experience. Laurie's professionalism and honesty answering all of our questions with prompt and knowledgable answers put us at great ease. Being first time homebuyers under a time restraint, Laurie was available to show us properties that met our needs, help us narrow down a location and really make our experience buying a home an exciting adventure! Plus, she has great referrals for lenders, inspectors, etc...Laurie, we can't thank you enough for helping us find our awesome home!
