Danielle was absolutely amazing throughout my home-buying process! She was helpful, knowledgeable, flexible, and always available when I needed her. She communicated well, knew the market, and did a great job negotiating on my behalf. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about making sure I was comfortable and happy with my purchase. She was a huge part of making the process go smoothly, and I would definitely recommend Danielle to anyone looking to buy a home!
Kevin's experience in this area is deep. He remembered me and answered my phone call by name, when I had last worked with him ten years ago. He guided my family and me through our first house sale ever (Mom had lived in her house for 66 years). The house was old and a bit of a challenge to deal with, but patience and a lot of showings finally found the right buyer. We can warmly recommend Kevin Burke.
He was very supportive during a difficult time selling our mothers home. He kept us informed and updated as necessary and was aware of the local market to support negotiations. I would highly recommend Kevin whether you want to sell or buy a home.
We had a wonderful experience working with Yevhen while purchasing our first home in the United States. He did a great job throughout the entire process and was incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive. As first-time homebuyers in the U.S., there were many things that were new and unfamiliar to us, but Yevhen took the time to explain everything clearly and guided us through each step. He was always responsive, professional, and truly had our best interests in mind. We are very grateful for all his help and support in making our first home purchase a smooth and positive experience. We would highly recommend Yevhen to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and caring real estate agent!
Candy and Dave were both great at communicating and staying on top of all details pertaining to the sale of my home, ensuring that everything went smoothly and in a timely manner!!!
Kevin brought many years of real estate sales and sales strategies to assist in the sale of our home. Great communication from Kevin all along the say. Our home sold in weeks with multiple offers-- above asking price-- and we could not be more pleased.

I can’t say enough good things about my friend and real estate professional, Michelle Rushing. I’ve known Michelle for years, and she has always been someone I can count on, both personally and professionally. She has helped not only my family, but also many of my clients throughout the Chicagoland area. Most recently, Michelle helped my family sell my mom’s home at 1697 Pebble Beach in Hoffman Estates, and she did an incredible job from beginning to end. She was extremely thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. She even helped us sell the home for over the asking price. What really stood out to me was how much she went above and beyond. She helped coordinate the estate sale, get the house completely cleaned out, and organize a professional cleaning crew. It ended up costing thousands of dollars, but it was absolutely worth it because it saved our family an incredible amount of time, work, and frustration. My mom lives in Mexico, so we also had to handle the sale through a Power of Attorney. Michelle made that process incredibly seamless and handled everything professionally, which made a complicated situation so much easier for our family. Michelle has been in real estate for decades, and her experience, knowledge, and attention to detail really show. She genuinely cares about her clients and is the kind of person who doesn’t just sell a house — she helps you get through the entire process. I would highly recommend Michelle Rushing to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Hoffman Estates or anywhere in the Northwest Suburbs and Chicagoland area. She is someone I trust completely, and I’m grateful for everything she did for my family.
When we decided to put our house on the market we felt that we could sell it our self and do the seller portion on the closing. I have worked at the construction industry for almost 40 years and had experience building, selling and closings. We felt that we should talk to a real estate broker to see what they could do for us. I went on the internet and was asked a few questions and it would be presented to different agents. Kevin Burke was the first person to call me that very same day. He took time to tell us various things he would do for us. We made an appointment for him to come to the houses and sat with us and went into great detail as to how he would handle our sale. He listed our house for us after showing us the way he would handle our sale and his marketing program. He had a photographer take pictures and put it on the web site. We had two offers with in 6 day of the listing Kevin sat with us and explained every detail about the contract. We ended up selling our home for more than our asking price. Kevin was with us. Every step of the way and walked us through it and made our sake very comfortable. The day before our closing he came to the houses We did not go to the closing g but Kevin was at the closing to make sure everything was completed on our end of the sale. I would and have given Kevin’s business card to a few people. I would recommend Kevin for the sale if your house and also for the purchase of a home He is vet well experienced in the real estate industry and was with us every step of the way.
We had such a good time working with Natasha. She made our concerns her top priority. She's smart, energetic and she made the experience of looking for house fun. We instantly became friends.
