Let me start with, I usually don't complete "rate your experience" requests, but Andrew has gone above & beyond yet again. This was my 2nd time utilizing Andrew's services to sell my property and as challenging as my situation was this time, he made it seem effortless. He's in tune with the market and made himself available anytime I had questions/concerns. He's not only a great realtor, he's a wonderful person too; caring and compassionate with the situation I was in.
The amazing work that Dave and Candy have done to help us not only purchase but sell our home! Extremely knowledgeable of the market, absolutely professional and consistent with staying on top of everything! we could not have asked for a better team along our long journey! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!
Linda did a beautiful job of staging this home. We had multiple offers and she helped us sort through our options. We will definitely be using her again.
It was a pleasure working with Sebastian. He is the best at what he does. He is really respectful and really professional. If I had any questions, he answered them right away. If you are looking for a home, I definitely recommend Sebastian.
I would like to unhesitatingly recommend Elliot Jaffe as a real estate agent. My husband and I first met Elliot when we purchased our house and he was the seller’s agent. We loved his professionalism and real estate knowledge, so when it was time to sell our home we sought him out to represent us. Elliot’s experience and knowledge of the real estate market and process was obvious from the start. He went through the current market statistics with focus on our neighbourhood, was very ethical in giving us all the information needed and helped guide us in setting a realistic asking price. Through the entire process of readying our house to put it up for sale and helping us in any and all ways needed, his experience in the real estate field and knowledge of the wants and needs of a buyer were obvious. He maintained an open communication with us, was reliable, and always asked for and listened to our concerns and opinions. Elliot was able to list and successfully sell our home within 5 days! Thank you Elliot for making, what can be an anxiety provoking process, seamless, easy and advantageous.
Any questions I had. Tina had a quick answer.
Elliot is the consummate professional. He has the perfect formula. He met with us, listened to us carefully, reviewed our property and advised us of his findings. He advised us of areas in our home that needed updates. We followed his advice. We had 70 showings and 33 offers. Our home sold well above asking. He was always available and conducted all showings himself to ensure our home was perfectly marketed. His expertise in the real estate provided us with a smooth process and a sell price well beyond our expectations.
Working with Elliot has been amazing. He was always available and analyzed our home and advised us of the updates we needed to perform to ensure that received the best price possible for our home. We did everything that he asked us to do and ended up with 70 showings and 33 offers. Our house sold above asking!!! We know that this occurred only because of his professionalism and expertise in the real estate business.
Kevin is a pleasure to work with. He helped find my home for the second time and I would use him again the next time I move. Kevin is very responsive and has the will to do what it takes to find the perfect home.
Jan was amazing in selling our old house 14 years ago, so we went back to her when we were purchasing in the NW suburbs. She was attentive to what we were trying to find, and went out of her way to contact the realtor for a house that had been on the market but was pulled off before we had the chance to see it. Thanks to her we were able to purchase our desired house, all because she knew what we were interested in and acted immediately to help us. She is also incredibly knowledgeable about the NW suburbs of Chicago (and likely far more of the area, but we were only looking in the NW 'burbs), and was able to give us sound advice on the individual homes we were checking out. She was incredibly helpful to us selling many years ago, as we were able to sell quickly and at a good price, and was similarly great on the buy side, as we got a house we were very interested in and were able to negotiate well for it. VERY strongly recommend her.
