Being out of town, we were very dependent on Joel to take care of many things for us.

Being out of town, we were very dependent on Joel to take care of many things for us. He kept in touch with us regularly to keep us apprised of what was happening with the property. Joel is a high quality individual! If the situations arises, I would use him again and would recommend him to others!

Joel was an absolute pleasure to work with when buying our home

Joel was an absolute pleasure to work with when buying our home

Joel was an absolute pleasure to work with when buying our home. As first time home buyers, we were unfamiliar with every aspect of the home buying process. Joel worked with our family for THREE YEARS to help us find the best home for our growing family. From countless tours and endless text messages, Joel always responded at a moment’s notice (even on vacation!) with a positive attitude. When we finally found the home of our dreams, Joel walked us through each step of the process. He answered all of our questions, helped calm our nerves, and even held our 3 month old daughter during the inspection so both my husband and I could walk the property. We are thrilled to finally be in the home of our dreams, and would recommend Joel 1000 times over to anyone looking to start the home buying process. Thank you Joel for everything!

Joel is exactly what we needed to sell our townhouse

Joel is exactly what we needed to sell our townhouse

Joel is exactly what we needed to sell our townhouse. We have had multiple prior unsuccessful sales attempts with this property while utilizing other realtors. He was able to come up with a good game plan and price. He helped deal with a lot of the bumps along the road associated with the sale of this property and in the end helped us significantly. We cannot thank Joel enough.

Joel Zielke was amazing to work with throughout our selling and buying process even

Joel Zielke was amazing to work with throughout our selling and buying process even

Joel Zielke was amazing to work with throughout our selling and buying process even when we were thrown some curve-balls by other parties. Joel made us as comfortable as possible and helped us get the most out of the sale of our home while getting the best deal on the purchase of our new home. As an agent and resident of Elmhurst, his knowledge of the area helped us pinpoint some areas for our search finding the right home for our family. We don't plan on moving any time soon, but if we did, Joel Zielke, who we now consider our friend, would be our agent of choice. Thanks Joel!

My friends referred Joel to me.

My friends referred Joel to me.

Joel had helped friends of mine get their home and they only had fantastic things to say about him. We started the house hunting process with another agent but she was not as responsive to our needs. We switched to Joel and it was the best decision that we made. Joel walked us through every step of the process. He made it fun and easy to buy our first home. Joel was the best. He encouraged us to see as many houses as possible. He provided great insight when we asked and was very respectful to our ideas and needs.

We consider it a lucky accident that Joel Zielke was connected w a property we enquired about after

We consider it a lucky accident that Joel Zielke was connected w a property we enquired about after seeing it listed online. Joel was always positive and reassuring without ever seeming insincere and it never felt he was just in it for the sale; it felt he had our best interests in mind. We valued his honesty and genuineness. He assured us we could contact him whenever we needed to and a last minute glitch (unrelated to BHS or Joel) which led to very long closing wasn't a hardship. His easy-going way and relaxed conversation allowed us (me!) to not stress as our lawyer went to bat. Our whole experience was a true pleasure! We'd recommend Joel to anyone we know and hope to work w him in the future! Though we only know Joel, if he's representative of BHS we're impressed!! (To Joel's boss: give the man a bonus!! He earned it

Joel Zielke paid attention to my needs.

Joel Zielke was easy to talk to. He paid attention to my needs in what I was looking for in home. I had a stric budget and he always stayed within my budget. He was easy to get a hold of and always available to view a home as soon as I sent him properties I was interested in. He worked fast and got things done! I never felt rushed and despite my humble budget he treated me with complete respect.

Joel Zielke was amazing for us!

Joel Zielke was amazing for us. First he helped us find a rental as we moved into Elmhurst and then suggested the perfect house for our family in just the right neighborhood. Joel has a wonderful, calm competence that gives you confidence as you go through the process. I would recommend Joel to anyone looking to buy a house in the area!
