Brian Hilgen is the best in business and knows all the good budget homes around. Walk arounds and making sure to meet a buyers needs and budget margins.
Brian did a fantastic job helping us sell our home. He took the time to visit on multiple occasions to recommend small improvements to aid in getting the best price. He knew the area and the market and made great suggestions. He was professional and very responsive. Once our house was on the market, we accepted an offer in a week and got our asking price! I would recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!
I cant say enough about Brian Hilgen. His professionalism, knowledge in real estate, and reputation is among the best Ive worked with in any industry. But what I liked most about working with Brian is that he is a genuine person that actually cares and wants to be that guy that helps you find your dream home and change your life, no matter how many homes you request him to show you. He never misses a phone call or text (unless he is driving) and is always there when you need him. He is always smiling and in a positive mood which shows he truly loves his job. Brian has made my first home purchase a fun, smooth, and enjoyable experience without any worry. I trusted that he would help me find my dream home, and he did. Brian has my business and friendship for life.
Brian was informative and did an excellent job of getting things done. He listed property very quickly and had it sold in a week. His lawyers kept me informed and so did he.
Brian did a great job advising on making the house presentable for sale and nailing down a solid offer on the house in only a couple of days. Everything went smoothly, which can be unusual these days.
This is my second time buying and selling with Brian. He is professional, highly engaged. He is well-connected and knows his markets well. I highly recommend his services.
Brian was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered honest feedback on the homes we viewed. He gave excellent recommendations for the financing, the lawyer, and home inspector. He was diligent and consistently checking in-- dedicated to making sure the deal closed without a hitch. In a time where things have not been business as usual, Brian guided me through the home buying process adeptly and helped me close on an amazing home at a great price. I highly recommend Brian, and could not have wished for a better home buying experience.
Brian Hilgen came highly recommended by a cousin of mine. Since our first time meeting I knew we would work great together! I have no words to express my gratitude to this man for all he did too sell my home, recommendations he made, how he guided me step by step, always very positive, and even took the time to make sure I was doing well emotionally and mentally throughout the whole process. The most humble realtor I have ever met! Definitely will use Brian Hilgen for my next purchase! If I could give him more stars I would! You are The absolute best Brian!!!
Brian was absolutely wonderful with helping us sell our first home. We knew nothing about the process and we were so happy to be able to find someone we could trust. Brian was open and honest with us and made the process extremely stress free. No matter what silly questions we may have had, Brian was always so quick and happy to answer any and all questions. We are so glad we found Brian and had such a wonderful experience working with him. Thank you, Brian!

Brian went above and beyond with the purchase of our house, he even stepped in for our mortgage broker when there were issues. I would highly recommend Brian, I will be using him for all my house purchasing and selling needs in the future.
This is a long overdue review - exactly a year ago today, I was searching for houses on websites, just in the beginning phases of deciding if I would sell the house I lived in for 17 years and move to one with more space with my family or just stay there. Brian had one of the houses I liked on Zillow, but when I called (right before Thanksgiving 2017) he said it was off market, but to keep him in mind.. I did and so thankful I did. He outdid all the other realtors I interviewed to sell my house. He gave recommendations for my sale and people who could help get it done. I followed them, and the house sold in less then a week. He was always available and there when I had questions. When I was searching for a new house he again listened to understand what we were looking for, protecting us in pointing out the "good and the bad" in the houses from his point of view and ultimately spent his Easter Sunday showing us the house we bought. He truly cares about making your experience through this as easy as possible. You can't go wrong with this guy!
This was my first time buying a house and I was very nervous about at first but with Brian's professional help he made me feel comfortable and was always there for any questions or concerns that I had. Even though we had bumps in the road with the inspection and the appraisal Brian was always there to help and make sure that the problems were solved. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor.
Brian is awesome!! As 1st home buyers my husband and I were so happy to have him help us every step of the way. Hes professional, friendly, honest and knowledgeable. Brian is definitely 5 star??
Brian was amazing! He helped us list our house, it sold for over asking price in 12 hours! He was very knowledgeable and realistic when it came to prepping our house for sale! He was easy to get ahold of as we closed! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! He will sell your house!!
Brian is an excellent agent. I had previously listed a home with Brian and just recently we purchased a home with him. On this recent purchase, it was very competitive. When we made our initial offer, the seller had already accepted an offer from another buyer. About a week later, that sale fell through. Brian was on vacation in Asia and called me to let me know the house was available. Brian facilitated the offer from half way around the world and we now own the home! We plan on being in this home for a long time but if something changes we will definitely be calling Brian again.
Brian is the best agent out there. We told him we wanted to move fast and we were looking at houses the very next day! We found our dream home thanks to Brian! But his service didnt stop there. He guided us in getting our house to market and sold it in record time. He really listens to and cares about his clients and was always available for questions and concerns. If your looking for the best agent out there you have to work with Brian!
Best realtor ever! I cannot say enough nice things about Brian. He is professional, caring and responsive. He is honest and hardworking and will go the extra mile for you. Great personality as well. You will not go wrong hiring Brian.
Brian is attentive, pays great attention to what you are looking for, and very accessible to your schedule. He takes the time to find many options for you to look at with no pressure. Definitely highly recommend him for all your real estate needs whether buying or selling!
Brian is an honest and friendly person who ALWAYS has you in mind first and then everything comes after that. His hard work found us the perfect home we were looking for once we relayed our specifications to him. He kept in constant communication from the very first call to the after the closing. He helped us negotiate a very good deal and couldn't be happier with his help. If you ever have the fortune of connecting with Brian, take it as a BLESSING and a sign from higher powers and then leave it Brian's hands to help get you what you are looking for. If we ever need to buy or sell a house again, Brian is the ONLY person we will be calling.Dr. Sharar
Brian is very helpful, honest, caring and very knowledgeable as a realtor. He helped me sell my house within a month with no problems. He is very friendly & funny guy that listens to everything you have to say. The one I like about him, he works very hard to get what you deserve for your home.
Brian Hilgen was truly a joy to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. I felt very comfortable working with him and he was always willing to go above and beyond. I highly recommend him!!
Brian helped us sell our home and we could not have been more pleased! We listed our home on August 21, 2017 and accepted an offer out of a few offers two days later on August 23rd. Brian was enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and generous with his time! Our first meeting he came prior to listing and gave us advice on finishing the house. From there he guided us through the process every step of the way explaining everything clearly. There is not enough good things we can say about him! Highly recommend!
Brian was excellent to work with! I used two realtors before him and had a bad experience with both of them. So I went on Zillow and read Brian's reviews and decided to call him. Knowledge A+, Process help A+, Responds to phone calls A+, Friendliness A+. I used him all the way to closing on my first home! Here's a bonus. The people he recommends to help with the process, Lawyer etc... are all A+ also. He is a FULL TIME real estate agent who takes the job seriously. Couldn't have had a better experience!
I needed to find a house, and I needed to find it quick. Brian was able to find me a very specific house in a very specific location in a brief period of time. He not only found me the perfect house, but he was able to sell my house for a maximum profit. Thanks Brian!
Had a wonderful experience working with Brian. He kept a positive attitude even when there were some delays. In the end we wound up with a wonderful home.
Brian was my Realtor during the sale of my home, and my third experience with him.He was patient, consistent, and provided timely responses even in a difficult situation. Brian offered and frequently went over and above when the circumstances required.
Our experience with Brian Hilgen has been nothing but positive on so many levels. Brian spent numerous weeks (11) and hours showing us homes throughout the Fox Valley area. He is very knowledgeable, professional and extremely understanding to his clients needs. Brian takes his expertise in his field to the highest level to help his clients find their perfect home . He listens, asks important questions and works diligently to make them happy. His many years of experience in real estate shines from beginning to end. Brian's knowledge of the real estate business is second to none !! We couldn't have been blessed with a finer Realtor and friend.He is a true professional and an asset to Weichert Realtor : ) Mr and Mrs M. Lally North Aurora, IL
Brian was always pleasant to deal with. He always returned my calls. With Brian's knowledge of the market area, he made helpful suggestions for the listing. I felt he was interested in the sale of my property. I would recommend Brian Hilgen to anyone buying or selling a home.
Working with Brian was a great experience. He always made us his priority ensuring the house was promptly and properly marketed. He was always available to answer our questions and concern. I would and have recommended Brian to others looking to either buy or sell.
Brian's 13 years of experience come across more like 30. He knows the market and easily gets a good sense for what you're looking for, even if YOU don't! He provides insight on properties that's invaluable when making such a big step like purchasing a new home. Brian was meticulous when it came to spotting key points as he walked us through the homes we looked at, often noting things we wouldn't have paid attention to otherwise. Brian was there even after the contract was written on the home we finally chose, more than willing to (even insistant on) answer any questions or calm our nerves during the stressful parts. I would say I would recommend Brian to my own mother, but her experience with him is actually what caused her to recommend him to me! I would use Brian again without hesitation.
I was a first time buyer w/ no experience in the housing market; (i.e. vulnerable to a certain degree). Brian gave me the knowledge and expertise that I was missing during my first home buying experience. He made sure I was informed of all aspects / considerations that should be made while purchasing a home. Brian was patient w/ all my concerns and questions throughout the entire process. In the end, I was confident buying my first home and still have no regrets w/ the house I purchased.
Brian has been amazing to work with. He is very easy going and listens to what you want. We are really picky with what we want and he was so patient with us in finding our dream home. He was even great with our girls, they loved him!! I would recommend him to anyone.
I had Brian as my agent sell my home in Geneva, Illinois, and also used Brian to find a new home for me at Del Webb - Huntley. Brian represented me as my agent on both transactions, working with the agent for the Del Webb seller.I'm VERY pleased with Brian Hilgen and will never hesitate to recommend to my friends. He gives special attention and care to his customers.N. L. Krentel
Brian is the best around. Always courteous and willing to help no matter the circumstances or the time frame. If Brian can't help, no one can. Thank you Brian for everything you do not only as a realtor but as a person.
Brian was amazing. His attention to detail, his knowledge of the community/area, and his friendly personality made the both the selling and purchasing process of our homes a wonderful experience. If you want a dedicated professional, look no further than Brian!
Brian is a very honest person, very helpful and very knowledgeable. He has great people silks. I recommend him to friends and family that are in search of a home and they all have nothing but great things to say about it. I will definitely work with him again in the future.
Brian was awesome to work with and my husband and I cannot recommend him enough! He provided valuable insight on preparing our house for sale and while touring homes pointed out many things I wouldn't have known to look for. Brian is very quick to respond to texts/emails/calls so we were never left in the dark wondering what was going on. It was very easy scheduling time with Brian to look at homes or even just to ask questions. If we had to go through the home buying/selling process again we would 100% use Brian again.
Brian Hilgen was honest and helpful, giving us tips on setting up our home for sale and walk-throughs. When we first met with him, he came knowing the local (neighborhood) market, telling us how much we could expect to get for our home. Based on that info, he told us he knew we could sell our home "quickly." Within four days, our home sold at just under our list price! Amazing service, masterful knowledge of the market! You CANNOT go wrong with Brian! Thank you!
Brian definitely went above and beyond his job. 5 stars isnt enough to give to him. Brian has been my families realtor for years and we will continue to use his services. Brians expertise is really solid and consistent. He responses to any concerns in a timely manner and makes the selling process easy and stress free.
Brian listed the home I sold. He spent a large amount of time in accurately pricing it, recommending adjustments to help it sell, and then listing and advertising it robustly. I can't think of a thing he could have done better. He was both knowledgeable and accurate in the choices of places he showed me, after listening carefully to my needs. He knew the area well and showed me appropriate homes, patiently helping me find just the perfect one. I am very happy with the service he gave, going above and beyond frequently to be sure I was happy with my choice and the price. I have already recommended him to others.
Brian was amazing, we looked at pretty much every house on the market in our price range, for about a month and a half, before finding our house. He is Very knowledgeable, honest, kind, funny and patient. I will be recommending him to anyone looking to buy! or sell!!
Brian made the home sale process a delight. His knowledge of real estate and the market conditions were incredibly helpful. He was always honest and realistic with this feedback and had our best interest in mind. He helped us sell our home incredibly quickly and provided excellent guidance along the way. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the state of Illinois.
My experience was painless, professional knowledge, great feedback, excellant response time( day or night), and very personable.Brian told me up front that he thought he could get my house sold within 60 days, and he delivered.Needless to say, I was very pleased with Brian's quality of service, and would recommend him to anyone seeking the sale of their home, or purchase of a new home.
We had the pleasure of having Brian as our buyer's agent when purchasing a house in the west Chicago suburbs. We had a few challenges with regards to home requirements (searching for a home in an unincorporated area, with acreage, that would allow a fence for our four dogs) but Brian never made us feel as though we were an inconvenience. He searched diligently to find the perfect house for us, represented us well, advocated as appropriate for our interests and was always accessible, professional and responsive. And he has a wonderful sense of humor to boot.
I looked at a lot of properties, Brian was truly a lot of help! I am very satisfied with the property that I purchased. Brian also helped me find qualified contractors to do all of my remodeling of my property. Brian also listed and sold my property in another community.
Got Brian's name and number from a friend whose whole family has bought with Brian. I was glad i got it because Brian got me through the whole buying process with no problems at all. Brian is great would recommend to anybody!!!!
We loved working with Brian! As first time home owners we were overwhelmed by all the houses and the process in general. Brian was a saving grace. His knowledge and experience helped us through each step of the way. He went above and beyond what we thought a realtor should do. He was always sending us homes to consider and really listened to our wants/needs. He was even able to recommend a home inspector, bank, and lawyer for closing . We have recommended him to friends and will definitely be using him again when we are ready to upgrade!
Brian was very helpful and knowledgeable through the whole process of selling our home. His advice, patience and guidance was a great benefit. Would recommend and use him again without hesitation.
Brian did an awesome job at finding me a town house in Naperville. With his busy schedule, he found the time to view homes that I found on line with just a days notice. That's important since that home you find on line today could be gone in a day. He also found homes through networking and would put together a list of homes to view in an afternoon. If I could, I would give Brian 10 plus.
