Joel was awesome! Even though our crazy work schedules were all over the place, he was able to squeeze us in and didn’t make us feel bad at all. Even to the point of meeting with us before church on a Sunday just so that a newly listed house wouldn’t slip past us. Who knew that it was our “unicorn” - a unique house with an amazing yard in the exact location of town we were looking in. Helping me get over my internal need to haggle, Joel made us feel comfortable and confident in the price that we put down for an offer just hours later. Thanks to him and his fast moves, we were under contract in no time. To top it all off, when we turned the key and walked in the front door of our new home, we were surprised by the thoughtful gift he left for us - a gift card for a celebratory treat at the restaurant right down the road. Thanks Joel! For as crazy as the home-buying experience was during the housing boom of 2021, it was a piece of cake with you.

Joel is acutely aware of the Elmhurst community and knows of potential buyers ms sellers often times before they are in the market. He so extremely personable and has great follow up and follow thru. He also is a good listener and will help you as the Seller best position your home for resell based on the key attributes you believe are marketable.

Joel was an extremely responsive and diligent agent. He would quickly follow up with requests to view properties and always made himself available to answer questions or concerns we may have. Specifically, when the market was the hottest during our search, it was important to move quickly to secure the property we wanted. As a result of Joel’s follow through, we found and secured the home of our dreams.

Highly recommend Joel as a real estate agent. Joel is excellent to work with. He is helpful and knowledgeable. We had a lot of questions during the purchase of our new home and sale of our previous home, and Joel always treated us with kindness and understanding. He also always had an answer to our questions. He knows the housing market very well. He helps from begining to end, including recommendations for any concerns that arise during the selling process. We will be recommending Joel to all our family and friends.

Joel assisted us in the purchase of our Oak Park condominium. As other reviewers stated, he was responsive and communicative. We appreciated his recommendations for a Real Estate Attorney; mortgage lenders; and home inspection businesses. The former is an established lawyer in Oak Park and was also excellent to work with. For the latter, Joel gave us choices, from which we researched. We were more than satisfied with their work. Joel kept us informed every step of the way, answering every question and addressing all concerns. His guidance and professionalism were needed. We purchased the home within our desired price range. Whatever stress we had about purchasing our new place, having Joel as our Real Estate Agent assuaged our worries and will highly recommend him to others.

Joel was extremely knowledgeable of the market and guided us through a difficult process in finding the perfect home during the COVID19 pandemic with low inventory

Selling a home is stressful enough. We went with Joel because we felt he was more our style than other realtors we interviewed and I'm so glad we did. Joel was easy to talk to, kept us calm and collected, was honest and knew the local market. He always answered our calls and put us at ease throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell. Easily would choose him again and I would tell anyone to trust his judgement and guidance. He knows what he is doing.

A wonderful experience from beginning to end We are grateful to Joel Zielke for everything he did to sell our home for us. His knowledge of the current market was spot on. Our house sold in 4 days to the first person to look at it. He guided us step by step through the process and was sensitive to our unique situation and needs. The transaction was flawless from beginning to end. Thank you very much, Joel!
