Experience is invaluable when dealing with the Chicago market! Moving from Boston, I needed a trustworthy experienced guide to negotiate the bewildering number of condos available. Mike was there for me from day one, using his access to MLS to help me considerably in screening to find a doable number of properties to visit, meeting with me to visit each of the 11 properties I looked at, giving me his shrewd and good advice on each one, and then when I made my selection, doing the diligence needed to find out everything I needed to know to make my offer. He ably helped me negotiate a great price, took care of a zillion details around getting the inspection done, working with my buyer's attorney, and getting information I needed from the condo association (he actually drove over to the property management office, found the chief, and obtained what we needed). I didn't have to lift a finger while Mike worked tirelessly, diligently, and very capably throughout: this resulted in a stress-free transaction and I'm now living in my dream lakeshore condo! Wow!
