Richard J. Freedkin

We recently worked with Richard J. Freedkin to purchase our condo, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We found Richard through online interest and decided to move forward based on his previous reviews- and it quickly became clear why he came so highly recommended. Richard was extremely knowledgeable about the market, the condo-buying process, and all the details that come with it. We have worked with Realtors in the past, and Richard truly stands out. Compared to other agents we’ve used, he was more attentive, proactive, and thorough, making sure we fully understood every step along the way. What really set Richard apart was how much he went above and beyond what we expected from a Realtor. He was always available to answer questions, followed up promptly, and stayed on top of every detail to keep things moving smoothly. His communication was outstanding-clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process. What we appreciated most about Richard’s services was his genuine care, PATIENCE, and attention to detail. He made what can be a stressful process feel organized and manageable, and we always felt confident that he had our best interests in mind. We would absolutely recommend Richard to anyone buying or selling a home. His professionalism, KNOWLEDGE, and dedication make him an excellent choice. We have already recommended him to a few friends and a relative, and we would not hesitate to use him again for a future home purchase or sale. Thank you, Richard, for finding us our dream place!

We worked with Richard J. Freedkin to find our home in Aurora, IL., and we’re so glad we chose him. He really knew the buying process inside and out, but what stood out most was how thoughtful he was during every showing. He paid attention to what we wanted and never made us feel rushed or pressured. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does. I’ve never met a realtor who puts so much effort into creating helpful resources and making sure his clients understand every part of buying or selling—and actually get a good deal. Richard, thank you for helping us find our home. If we ever decide to sell, we’ll be calling you again.

I was referred to realtor Richard J Freedkin for the sale of my home in Waukegan, IL. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained the process with clarity and took his time to make sure I understood the information he shared. I have worked with other kind realtors, but Richard really knew his stuff. Although he was requesting updates that didn’t seem doable, it made me realize that those details make a difference in the end. I was very proud that the buyers were going to benefit from these small touches that makes life less stressful for everyone involved. I really liked the energy and positivity he brought with him each time we met. The home preparation, staging and marketing added to the ease of selling my home. It sold for more $15K more than asking, plus I had 7 backups. The difference between Richard and another realtor is that I learned some valuable strategies and skills that I could apply towards my search for a new home in the future. The materials in his books is very informative. I would strongly recommend Richard J Freedkin to family and friends. He is very good at his profession.

If you’re looking for a realtor, whether you’re buying or selling, your search should end with Richard J. Freedkin. Full Stop. I was introduced to Richard on the buying end through a google search for a house to purchase. It was serendipity. There was no drama with Richard, just kindness and efficiency. His communication with me was above and beyond what I had experienced with other brokers. He immediately put me at ease with the process. He was a creative problem solver, and I closed on my current home without a hitch. So, when it came time to sell my former home I didn’t hesitate to call Richard. That house sold within 5 days of being placed on the market, with multiple cash offers of over $200,000 above asking price. How did I do that you ask? I simply listened to Richard. I followed his advice and stuck to his marketing plan. We were a team on a mission. You just don’t get that kind of attention from most folks. I wasn’t just a number to Richard. I wasn’t just another seller, and the result was evidence of that team mentality. I now consider Richard a friend. I will not use or recommend anyone else. So do yourself a favor and just reach out to him. You’ll get the best advice, excellent communication and someone who is clearly passionate about his profession. And one more thing, if you join forces with Richard, follow his plan. I’m serious. It worked beautifully for me.

We had the great fortune to have Richard J. Freedkin as our realtor when selling our home. He had previously helped us purchase a home in the suburbs, so it was obvious that we were going to use him to sell our home in Chicago. He is very knowledgeable on the current housing market, home sales and marketing. He came into our home and told us exactly what needed to be upgraded or repaired to get it on the market. He was very hands on with any work that needed to be done. If he could not do the work himself, he found a competent trades person to complete the work. He has a great attention to detail. His virtual staging, soft staging, feature cards and pictures in the house took the property to another level. Richard definitely exceeded our expectations. The house went on the market on a Thursday and by the end of the weekend we had multiple offers. We are grateful for his incredible work which resulted in our home being sold for $80,000 over list price. We would highly recommend Richard for all your real estate transactions.
