John is a true professional when it comes to real estate. He understands my needs, knows the rules and follows them to a tee. Any questions I had were answered quickly and honestly. If he didn't know, he'd find out. A true gentleman and an extremely hard worker. Thank you for making each of my transactions go smoothly.

Sarah helped me find a commercial building that was just what I was looking for. She did a wonderful job advising me throughout the process since this is the first time that I purchased a commercial space. She is professional, knowledge and always available. She stayed on top of everything from start to finish. I am very grateful that Sarah worked me on this project and highly recommend her to everyone that is looking into buying or selling real estate.

Anna was my seller agent for an Oak Park property. Besides being very demanding, I live 300 miles away in MI. Therefore, many improvements the rental unit required were managed by many text messages. A new kitchen was installed, including new countertops, backsplash, and hookup for appliances. This was completed successfully due to Anna's commitment as she became the general contractor for the kitchen update. She arranged material pickup and delivery and worked diligently with the installers. With the update, the unit sold easily. A job well done! Thank you,

Phil Lifshin helped us buy our home in the mid-1990’s, so when it came time to downsize nearly 25 years later we naturally went back to him for guidance in selling it. As with the purchase, having Phil as our agent made for a very successful selling experience. Phil worked with us over a 9-month period covering the full range of issues involved with selling a home. He advised us on improvements and updates that would make the house more marketable and, when asked, provided us with references to contractors for doing the work. He also performed several market analyses on comparable home listings and sales in our area, which was critical for setting a pricing and overall selling strategy. Later, Phil drew on his wealth of experience to advise us on options for staging the property. Once the home was ready to show, Phil produced a beautiful presentation with his choice of photographer, photo package and high-quality brochure. To add a personal touch, he recommended that we include a brief letter in the brochure describing our history with the home. Phil’s marketing generated a quite positive response and several attractive offers in the first two days our home was on the market. A contract was accepted soon after. Phil guided us though the final steps, including buyer inspection and attorney approval, and saw that the closing went smoothly. Throughout the entire process, he was available to address our many questions and provide moral support. We would highly recommend Phil Lifshin to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home.

Gretchen is the absolute BEST. I called in the am we were out looking at houses that night. She was so helpful with looking at details and pointing out issues that we found in some places and was never pushy or aggravated with all the craziness we dealt with while looking for houses. She is honestly the best!!!!!!
