Buyer of 2W/5830 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago
From the very beginning of the home-buying process, he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He was available 24/7 to answer my questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and truly had my best interests in mind. Cecil’s knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and exciting. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and worked tirelessly to help me find the perfect home. Even after my offer was accepted, he continued to advocate for me and ensured that every detail was handled properly through closing. Most realtors do not have the vast knowledge of the Chicago market like Cecil does. He made sure I was 100 percent comfortable with the home and went through weeks of showings before we landed on this gem. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is honest, hardworking, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients, Cecil is the person to call. I’m incredibly grateful for all of his help and couldn’t be happier with the home I purchased!
Buyer of 4031 West Gladys Avenue, Chicago
They were professional and communicative throughout the transaction. Communication was timely, and they stayed engaged to help move things forward when coordination was needed between both sides. They demonstrated solid market knowledge and a clear understanding of the process, which helped keep momentum toward closing. I appreciated their effort to stay responsive and solution oriented from contract to close.

John asked us questions to help us nail down what we were looking for in a new home, and more importantly, he listened to what we conveyed about our priorities. With these criteria in mind, we found a property that fit our needs. John was very patient during our viewings. We did not feel rushed as we explored the property for 45minutes before going inside to see the house! Nor did he seem to mind return visits, while we made sure that this was the house for us. Where John's skills were really evident was during negotiations. The Seller and his agent seemed to be adversarial throughout the process. We even withdrew from the offer at one point and returned a month later to revisit negotiating a purchase that could work for both parties. John's skill and creativity resulted in a contract that could be agreed upon by all. John remained professional and courteous despite the drama and game playing from the Seller's side of the table. He wrote up our contract to include language that would clearly represent our intentions and protect us during the implementation phase of the purchase. We are also grateful that John was available whenever we needed to ask questions or schedule inspections or "volley" amendments to the PA. We highly recommend John to anyone looking for a hard working, knowledgeable and professional real estate agent.
Seller of 7641 Turrillium Ln, Oakland County
John is extremely intelligent when it comes to real estate. In tune to the market like no other. He priced our home even more than I thought we could get for it, and it sold full price!!! He communicates very well and explains the procedures down to the smallest details. He answers questions promptly and in a clear and understanding manner. He is truly someone who looks out for your best interests and will work with you to give you the best possible outcome. John Scarpa is the best!

Seller of A/803 Persimmon Lane, Mount Prospect
Joe was the key factor in our successful home sale. Our family was not familiar with the world of real estate and the fine art of making a deal. When faced with the daunting task of having to sell a loved one's home, Joe came to the rescue helping to inform our thinking and organize a plan. In all deals (so we learned) the key is to finding the right price level balance. After a few weeks of lots of interest but no offers, Joe suggested a few reasonable upgrades to the property. Within a week we received the offer we were looking for and the sale was made. Thanks so much, Joe!!!
