Cecil is a Subject Matter Expert in Real Estate, Financing & Insurance

Cecil took the time to show my wife and I on tours across the northwest suburbs and Des Plaines area making sure to identify and source the right home that fit our needs. He did a good job educating us and also negotiated a good price for our home purchase, while handling all other facets of our transaction related to the financing and insurance as well. Would highly recommend him and his team are experts in the field and know how to make sure clients are well taken care of. They have an extensive toolkit of mobile apps, websites and data sources beyond the traditional MLS that make sure clients get access to the public & private MLS as well as off market opportunities we would not have discovered on our own. They also did good due diligence and made sure the home we selected was in a sound and safe association with healthy reserves we have resided in for 8+ years with no major issues or special assessments. He also provides service after the sale and kept in touch with us before during and after the closing. We just finished our first home improvement upgrade and appreciated the contractor referrals who did good work for our renovations and home improvement projects last year.

Cecil is Amazing

Cecil is Amazing

Cecil is an outstanding agent, and so very knowledgable in so many facets of real estate, as well as a wealth of knowledge in commercial properties. He will always be my go to Realtor, because he negotiated a deal over our asking price, and we couldn't be happier with his service.

Sale of Des Plaines Rental Property

We had the pleasure of working with Cecil Sabu for the sale of our rental property at 9275 Dee Rd Des Plaines, IL 60016, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Cecil demonstrated professionalism and expertise, guiding us through what could have been a challenging process with ease and confidence. From the moment Cecil took on our listing, he showcased his expertise by pricing the property perfectly to attract strong interest while maximizing its value. He was diligent in organizing open houses, ensuring the property received excellent exposure to potential buyers. Thanks to his proactive approach, we were able to get the property under contract quickly. One of the standout aspects of Cecil’s service was his ability to provide expert advice on dealing with difficult tenant situations. His calm approach helped us navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring the sale remained on track. Cecil also connected us with reliable contractors and other professionals, streamlining necessary repairs and preparations for the property. Everything was handled in a smooth and timely manner, saving us the stress of coordinating these details ourselves. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, we highly recommend Cecil Sabu. Working with him was a seamless experience, and we are incredibly grateful for his support.

Cecil Helped Our Family ABOVE and BEYOND Service

Cecil has been a strong ally to my family and me personally given our unique circumstances - he went above and beyond when other traditional retail lenders gave a generic no answer, he called multiple lenders and mortgage companies on our behalf to find a company able to do a DACA loan, figured out how to make our situation work to achieve the American Dream and negotiated a good price in a great neighborhood in Des Plaines. And he helped us negotiate a good price on the insurance and was involved witj us every step of the way. We were very impressed and genuinely very happy with everything he has done for us not just in the home purchase but overall to our financial situation and have trusted him with our friends and family members too. He has a good team of knowledgeable experts who are also bilingual and Spanish speaking too.

I came to Cecil with about 25 days left on my lease to find a condominium that checked off all my bo

I came to Cecil with about 25 days left on my lease to find a condominium that checked off all my boxes. In 25 days, Cecil and I visited close to 100 condos across the city. Cecil Sabu has got to be the most knowledgeable broker in the business in Chicago. Every neighborhood we visited came with a tour of local restaurants, bars, and businesses. Not only does his knowledge cover the neighborhoods of Chicago, but in handling any question or concern I had in regards to my first home purchase.Negotiating on my behalf, Cecil was able to get almost half of my closing costs back as credits and secured me one of the lowest interest rates I have ever heard of. We were able to find an amazing condo, well within my budget in less than 25 days! If I knew it would be this easy, I would have looked to buy a place years ago!If you want the most hassle free and enjoyable home buying process, look no further than Cecil Sabu. His dedication to his clients is incomparable, and his knowledge of Chicago is unmatched.
