After having such a great experience buying our first home with Chris, we turned to him when we were

After having such a great experience buying our first home with Chris, we turned to him when we were selling our home and could not be happier with the results. He gave us amazing advice and tips on how to present our home while still living in it, and we ended up selling immediately, which was our wish since we had to move across country! As first time home sellers we appreciated him walking us through the process. Also I want to mention that Chris truly knows the real estate industry like the back of his hand. When we were in the midst of buying our new house and farm in Vermont and were having trouble with the seller agent and mortgage companies, Chris helped us out even with those stressful issues even though there was nothing in it for him! Chris is just an amazing guy.

Highly likely to recommend!

Chris has been a great resource during our search for a home in Oak Park. We spent well over a year looking for a home. Chris was patient and available for showings whenever we requested and sincerely enjoyed viewing and educating his clients on the homes. He provided useful advice based on his experience of showing homes and living in Oak Park. He is also honest and upfront about valuations, neighborhoods and other considerations when viewing and considering a home purchase. Again a great resource to have when making one of the largest purchases in one's life. Thanks for all of your help.

Great experience with Mr Garvey

Bought our first condo with Chris and he helped us so much through the process, never rushed us, gave great tips and was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods. He did a great job negotiating as well and we were very happy to work with him.

Chris found us our dream home.

Chris found us our dream home. Through his network he was able to help us with our loan, insurance and contractor for renovations. He is an expert in the River Forest, Oak Park, and Elmwood Park areas. A true pro!

Chris did a terrific job helping us buy a foreclosed house needing a lot of work a year ago.

Five Star Review for Local Knowledge, Process Expertise, Responsiveness, Negotiation Skills Chris did a terrific job helping us buy a foreclosed house needing a lot of work a year ago. He was very persistent on getting the contract finalized. He also was a wealth of information on the process and provided excellent professional resources along the way ( inspector , mortgage broker , lawyer ). I would HIGHLY recommend Chris for your real estate agent

Chris grew up in the area and has an amazing knowledge of the buildings and history.

We really enjoyed working with Chris. Chris grew up in the area and has an amazing knowledge of the buildings and history. He was super responsive, day or night, to any and all of our questions. Chris was always willing to give us suggestions, but when we made a decision he was 100% supportive even if it wasn't his suggestion, and bent over backwards to make it work. He really made sure the whole process went smoothly, from our first searches to closing day. My wife and I would highly recommend Chris!

I was a first time home buyer and had no idea how to go about the process

I was a first time home buyer and had no idea how to go about the process . I had a previous agent that I felt was pressuring me above my budget as well taking me to listings that I didn’t want to see. Chris was referenced to me so I gave him a shot . One of the best decisions I made . He assisted me in finding a home that I love and can make my own ! I felt very comfortable with him . Chris was very knowledgeable about not only the property, but the area as well as what may need to be fixed. I’m very thankful to have had Chris as my realtor ! I will definitely be referencing him to anyone who is looking!

I’ve worked with Chris to purchase two investment properties. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Chris

I’ve worked with Chris to purchase two investment properties and tour single family homes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Chris; he’s extremely knowledgable and will guide you every step of the way. When it comes to touring houses, negotiating an offer, closing, and more, Chris will far exceed your expectations. Chris is very experienced and has seen it all before; this will pay off if you have a unique situation (in my case, being an out-of-town buyer). When I started my search, it was immediately clear how knowledgeable Chris is. He was able to answer all of my questions about a variety of neighborhoods in the city and suburbs, often giving great examples from memory of specific blocks and properties that might be a good fit. When touring properties, Chris was patient and helpful -- he even suggested that we take a second look at several properties, which ultimately helped me decide what I wanted. Chris also has a good deal of contractor type knowledge and was able to give insight on what repairs/costs I might need to consider as we toured various properties. Chris is a very good negotiator and will help you get the best deal; for both of my purchases, Chris was able to negotiate even lower than what I thought our best case scenario was. Whatever your goal is, Chris will go the extra mile to help you make it happen. I just closed a property in Oak Park that I plan to rent out. Because I live in California and have a busy travel schedule it was going to be difficult for me to coordinate the necessary repairs and secure a tenant in a timely manner. Chris offered to find a tenant for me, AND coordinate the flooring & painting upgrades that were needed before the tenant moved in. For two weeks after the sale had closed, Chris was coordinating these upgrades on my behalf! You will not find another agent who is as capable, or cares more about his clients. If you’re reading this consider yourself lucky -- you’ve just c

Chris has been an extraordinary resource and advocate for us during our house hunting.

Five Star Review for Local Knowledge, Process Expertise, Responsiveness, and Negotiation Skills Chris has been an extraordinary resource and advocate for us during our house hunting, purchasing, and closing experience! He is knowledgeable, personable, and immensely talented in this field. We could not have navigated buying our first home while rangling two young kids without him. I cannot say enough great things about him! I give him the highest recommendation and endorsement to anyone in the market for a home or investment property!
