David S. bought a home in Chicago

"I bought my first home from Matt. He was there for me every step of the way, from finding homes that met MY NEEDS not his, to being AVAILABLE at ALL times of the day and night, to giving me his EXPERT advice on the nuances of the purchase, to SKILLFULLY negotiating for and getting me the price I wanted to pay, to GUIDING me through the closing process, to BEING THERE at the closing and AFTERWARDS, when I had moved in. No matter how busy he was, he made me feel that I was his only client. Matt is a GENUINE and CARING Realtor who is the BEST in Chicago. Matt will be my Realtor for the last home I buy, and for each one in between."

Curt P. bought a home in Chicago

"As a Realtor, we expected you to use your knowledge of the City's neighborhoods to help us save time and frustration in locating our new home. You did this with TIRELESS ENERGY and IMPRESSIVE COMPETENCE. We believe, however, that what drives you, as a PROFESSIONAL is your DESIRE TO GO BEYOND the ordinary duties of a Realtor. In this effort you were successful. We felt at ALL TIMES that we had your full attention, and were confident that you were never more than a phone call away. Your GUIDANCE and ADVICE in EVERY STEP of the buying process put us at EASE and provided us with affirmation that we were making the right decisions. Most importantly, we felt that you were truly INTERESTED IN OUR HAPPINESS, AND NOT JUST A SALES COMMISSION. It is these characteristics that define you as a professional and distinguish your services from those often criticized."

Dina R. bought a home in Chicago

"From the moment we first contacted you, your PROFESSIONALISM and sense of urgency never went unnoticed. We knew we were in good hands as you listened carefully to what WE WERE LOOKING FOR: choice of neighborhood, the style of home we sought, the amenities that were important, and most importantly the amount of money we wished to spend. It was comforting to hear you repeat yourself over and over that 'you were not spending our money, we were!' Because we were relocating , we appreciated the process began long before we arrived, you dedicated your time to OUR NEEDS. You showed numerous homes, scheduled appts on the fly, & made yourself available well into the evening to counsel. You represented our interests & managed the negotiations effectively & professionally. YOU WELL EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS & WE CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT THIS PROCESS COULD HAVE BEEN LIKE HAD WE NOT BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WORK WITH YOU. Your performance sets the standard for others in your industry."

Kristen Q. bought a home in Chicago

" I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the EXCELLENT SERVICE YOU PROVIDED in helping me find my new home. If you had not been my Realtor, I would probably still be house hunting while renting a closet-sized apartment in the city. But, amazingly your suggestions, knowledge, and professionalism resulted in me having a home the second day we looked. Now I could relocate from Cincinnati and feel relief knowing my new company and I could begin sooner than we anticipated. We both thank you! Thank you again for such SUPERB SERVICE; I could not have found my new home without you!"

Bruce S. bought a home in Chicago

"I must say Matt, you did an OUTSTANDING performance. As I remember the first call I made to you, I thought to myself that finding a home in downtown Chicago on SHORT NOTICE was going to be impossible. If someone would have told me that we could find one that day and make an offer and get it accepted the next day on our terms, I would not have believed it could happen. After all we looked at 17 properties. I still can't believe it! Matt, you obviously are a professional in the Real Estate world and your follow up is UNBELIEVABLE after the saleI am SURE we will do business again."
