Seller of 3 Richmond Ct, Lake Zurich
Selling your home is one of the most important decisions as well as a very stressful journey. Cherie's experience in Lake Zurich and knowledge was priceless. More than that, she is RELIABLE and answers the phone every time you call her, anytime of day. She cares and will do her best for you and your family. The market controls a lot of real estate, but the personal touch and passion Cherie portrayed made the whole process enjoyable. Thank you to Cherie, Jason and her staff.
Seller of 464 Farm Bridge Road, Lake Zurich
Cherie sold our Lake Zurich home while we were moving to Arizona and made the whole process straightforward. Clear pricing advice, strong marketing, prompt communication, and a clean close. Professional from start to finish. Highly recommend.
Seller of 926 Lucerne Court, Mundelein
Cherie was very encouraging and helpful in getting my house prepared to put on the market. She connected me with people who helped me dispose of unnecessary furniture and who got the house clean and sparkling. She and her assistant Jason were very knowledgeable and savvy about photographing and displaying my house in the best possible light. And at the end, when I had several bids on the table, she guided me as to which one to concentrate on and negotiated a higher price from that party. In summary, I was very pleased with the job she did and would happily recommend her to others.

Buyer of 1911 Hazelwood Dr, Lindenhurst
We had such a great experience working with our realtor. She was always on top of everything, incredibly patient, and genuinely went out of her way to make sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. What we appreciated most was how honest and realistic she was about the entire process. She set the right expectations from the beginning and always made us feel like she was truly looking out for us—not just trying to close a deal. She was so informative and guided us through everything, which made a huge difference as first-time homebuyers who honestly had no idea what we were doing at first. 😅 She was always available, understanding, and never made us feel like our questions were too much. If you’re a first-time buyer or just want a realtor who will actually listen, guide you, and have your best interest at heart, we highly recommend her. We’re so grateful we had her with us through the whole process! 🏡❤️
Seller of 38796 N Kenmore Rd, Antioch
Barb has been exceptional in both buying and selling our house. Being in the service and moving often can be stressful on the family, but Barb was able to make our transitions stress free. Committed to her clients, Barb goes the extra mile to make the deal happen. Choose her and you won’t be disappointed.

Buyer of 641 West Huron Hills Trail, Round Lake Heights
Rachael went above and beyond throughout the entire home-buying process. As first-time homebuyers with a new baby, we had a lot of questions and a busy schedule, but she was incredibly patient, communicative, and supportive every step of the way. She truly took the time to understand our needs and went out of her way to help us find the perfect home for our family. She was always flexible, working around our schedule and making herself available whenever we needed her. Once we found our home, she kept us informed throughout the entire process and made sure everything stayed on track. We have already recommended Rachael to all of our family and friends, and we’re so grateful that someone recommended her to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. She is simply the best
Seller of 41591 North Park Avenue, Zion
Rachael's knowledge of the market is top notch, she knew what it would take to get multiple offers on our home and to even get offers above the asking price, But she didn't stop there, she was on top of the appraisal and kept pushing for all to work out for our benefit. Communication was always quick and precise. I recommend her to everyone I know
Seller of 308 South Hackberry Court, Round Lake
As a home inspector, I have worked with hundreds of realtors over the years. Choosing one to represent my wife and I was very difficult. Rachael was chosen randomly out of 7 possibilities. Rachael and her team are very quick to respond and handled every obstacle timely. Even though my and I got stressed at times Rachael has a way of getting us through each moment. We have not moved in 23 years so selling a house and buying one in 3 weeks was challenging. We are so happy we chose her and the West team to handle this.

Seller of 38063 North Academy Drive, Lake Villa
Carol knows the ins and outs of the real estate business . Carol really went above and beyond with getting the house ready to sell. I needed a new air conditioner and she had a person for that. Needed a handyman and she had a person for that. Getting the remaining items out of the house she had a company come and take everything out. The house was only on the market for two months and sold at full asking price. I couldn’t have done it without her expertise and knowledge.
Seller of 2020 Harrison Avenue, Mundelein
Carol was able to analyze the market with an understanding of what we were looking for and what was realistic. She picked the right price and the property sold quickly. She navigated the process of selling our property with solar panels that were on lease. We could not have been in better hands. She was great!
