After moving around so much I’ve had quite a few residences and therefore plenty of experiences with realtors. The list includes realtors in PA, IL, NJ… on both rentals and purchases. Mitch Gabel is second to none. What sets him apart is his patience, his ability to ask many questions, listen, and work in the buyer’s best interest. Having 2 boys born within 15 months of each other, we quickly found our new Family of 4 busting at the seams of our 2 BR townhouse. It was clear we needed a bigger place, preferably a single family home with 4+ bedrooms and some type of yard. We also recognized that our next house would hopefully be our home for the next 20+ years. And that’s where the challenge began. <br/><br/>Mitch helped us write a “must have list” and a “wish list”. He also paid close attention to our budgetary needs and our preferred locations – school systems, friends, parks, etc. Samantha (wife) and I agreed that we wouldn’t rush into a purchasing decision on the first house we liked. Mitch entered our requirements into the online MLS system. Several times each week houses that fit our profile were sent to us in the form of online descriptions and pictures. We spent many Saturday afternoons looking at houses. <br/><br/>Throughout the entire (somewhat lengthy by many standards) process, Mitch maintained his strong support of our needs. He was quick to point out weaknesses of a house, preventing us from making a poor buying decision. Mitch was also quite creative, helping us along by providing input, “…you know, you might want to consider…” We never felt rushed during the entire process. The end result being a nice house that our Family will enjoy for many decades. I am grateful to Mitch Gabel and highly recommend him to anyone in the Chicago area for any Real Estate needs.

Tiffany handled both the sale of our home in Highland Park and the purchase of our home in Mundelein. She made herself fully available whenever we needed her. From networking, marketing, staging, off market showings to open houses- she did everything to get our home sold for top dollar (we got multiple offers!) On the purchasing side, Tiffany spent many days touring homes with us and was very patient. When we found our dream home, she moved strategically and swiftly, providing guidance every step of the way. She went to bat for us during negotiations and we are very pleased with our forever home. Tiffany will always have your back! We highly recommend her!

Stacey is amazing! She is such and energetic, caring and positive person to work with. She helped us sell our previous home and buy our new home. Selling our home was a breeze with her incredible attention to detail and her expertise and knowledge on the pricing of our listing. We were able to sell for more that we thought possible! When buying our home, she was very flexible with our schedules and attentive to our questions. You can certainly tell she loves what she does even after years of working as a realtor. As we looked at many homes, it was great to hear her ideas on how to keep an open mind. We had a great experience with Stacey and would highly recommend her.

I cannot recommend Shane Plummer enough for your real estate needs. He is hands down the best in the Chicagoland area and is a wonderful person to work this. This is our second time using Shane in which he both sold our home (the same home he helped us with 6 years prior!) and buy a new house at the same time. That experience of buying/selling simultaneously has a propensity to be extremely stressful, but Shane helped us navigate that with ease. On the selling side, we leaned heavily on Shane's experience and recommendations and made a great profit with his hard work. We had our open house during a torrential downpour and tornado-laden weekend, and Shane was still able to provide us with the utmost service and quickly shift focus to ensure we had a great amount of foot traffic during what would otherwise probably be a disaster of an open house weekend. On the buying side, Shane worked tirelessly with the Seller's real estate agent to close the deal. As always with Shane, everything went exactly how he said it, and provided great insight to the process the whole time. Shane was also very attentive to our needs and opinions and it really felt like he worked WITH us, not just for us. As a final aside, Shane also comes with a great network of team players. If you're just starting out and gathering information, and Shane recommends you Josh Kahn as a broker, you need to do it without question. His team is just as good as he is and they work wonderful together.

We thought selling our relatively old townhouse would be stressful, as we didn’t know how to do it. We are so glad we turned to Sharon and asked her to be our realtor. Under her guidance on how to update and present the house, our townhouse became an adorable star. Sharon was very knowledgeable about the local market and gave us an accurate assessment of the value of our townhouse. Her marketing and negotiation prowess generated multiple offers for us, and we were under contract for above listing price within 10 days and closed the sale in 30 days. Sharon’s professionalism was consistent and always communicated with involved parties in the sale promptly. Throughout the process, we had no doubt that we were in good hands. We highly recommend Sharon for your real estate needs!!!
