Barb was absolutely incredible helping us find our first home. She understood immediately what we needed and what we were looking for and she did not hesitate to get the whole process started immediately after our first interaction. She worked super hard to get us a place we loved. She was very easy to talk to. She is so knowledgeable and was able to guide us every step of the way. As first time buyers, we were unsure of where to even begin, so we needed all the help and advice we could get, and Barb gave us just that, and more! She was is compassionate and very understanding and kept us up to date on every step and status of the buying process. She was very responsive and communicated with us on every text/call/email that we sent her, she has so much knowledge and is extremely efficient! She connected us to an amazing crew of people that were able to make the whole process smooth, quick and as stress-free as possible. Barb and her team worked really hard to guide us and look out for our best interest in this. Barb always made it a priority to meet our needs and we are so thankful to have found her. We could not have done this without her and are forever grateful to have found her 💗 I will recommend her a million percent to anyone looking for their forever home! She is the BEST!

As a first time homebuyer the process was pretty scary trying to figure things out. Barb was amazing at not only taking time to call me on the phone for a half hour to teach me about buying real estate, but she was more responsive and professional than I could have ever asked for. She always went out of her way to get me showings anywhere I asked the same day I was interested. Barb also was great at connecting me with other resources required for the home-buying process. I would highly recommend her services to anyone going through the home-buying process in a heartbeat!

Extremely professional and patient. For the year we were looking for a home, she was completely transparent with everything we went through. She is extremely knowledgeable of the VA home loan process as well. I would recommend her to anyone, especially if you are active duty or a veteran and using your VA benefits.
Answered all our questions and gave us great advice and guidance. Vince was very helpful throughout the process

Barb is just great to work with. She helped to buy and eventually sell our home in McHenry. She’s responsive and understands the market here very well.

I used Barb to buy a house and sell a house. Both transactions exceeded my expectations. Her knowledge of the real-estate market is unmatched. If you are looking to buy or sell in the northwest suburbs there is no better agent.
Vince helped us find a great house and was an incredible help through the process! I highly recommend him!
I had to sell my house while going through a divorce, and Vince Romano was recommended to me by multiple contacts. Once I met with him, I fully understood why he came so highly recommended. He understood all the complexities of handling a sale during a divorce, and made sure to keep both parties well informed throughout. Due to various issues with the bank, there were times it really didn't seem like the sale would go through, but Vince worked tirelessly with the bank, the buyer's agent, and the attorneys to figure everything out. In the end it all worked out perfectly, and I'm so grateful to Vince for making it happen.
Jennifer was absolutely amazing throughout our entire home buying process! She went above and beyond to help us find the perfect house and was incredibly patient every step of the way. She truly listened to what we wanted, understood our needs, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Jennifer made the whole experience so much easier and less stressful with her knowledge, kindness, and dedication. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients!

We met Barb less than a year ago and since then she has practically become a part of our family. She went above and beyond with the amount of time and effort she put into our home and responding to all of our calls/texts. Barb helped us purchase our home and then due to an unexpected job change, she helped us list it less than a year in. Barb understands the local Illinois market and does an incredible job listing a home. Not only did she help in every step with listing the home, but she also checked on it while we were out of state to ensure it was in good condition. She has good connections with local attorneys and lenders to help smooth out all of the additional steps when buying or selling a home. If we were staying in Illinois, we would use Barb for any real estate transaction moving forward in our family's life. We would recommend Barb 100 times over for your real estate needs. Thank you again Barb! We owe you like 20 dinners.
