If you ever have an opportunity to work with Jeff O’Connor, take it! During our Oak Park condo search and purchase, Jeff clearly had our best interests at heart. He brought energy, enthusiasm, humor, and integrity to the entire process. My husband and I were looking for a modest home, but Jeff made us feel like his most important clients. He noticed low water pressure in a place we liked, so he reached out to the selling agent to ask whether there were known plumbing issues in the building or plans for future repairs. He offered helpful observations on the structural and mechanical aspects of each home, and he has good insights into aesthetics and potential improvements. His recommended inspector, attorney, and lender are all fantastic and each deserve their own rave reviews. During post-inspection negotiations, sudden job uncertainty caused by the beginning of pandemic shut-downs forced us to pull back and put our home purchase plans on hold. Jeff had put in a lot of work by then, but he was sympathetic and supported our decision. A year later, my husband and I were thinking about starting our home search again when a promising new listing appeared online. We contacted Jeff for the first time in months, and he scheduled a showing immediately. We were the second offer the sellers received that weekend. The condo was exactly what we wanted, and we would have missed out if Jeff hadn’t jumped in so quickly. He helped us place a winning offer, and the talented team he recommended sprang into action again on inspections, financing, and legal review. Unique requirements from the sellers meant a bigger coordination effort than usual, and the whole team worked closely together to set us up for a smooth closing. We’re excited about our new home and grateful to Jeff for getting us here!
