ZillowVERIFIEDMy real estate agent was Joel Kuzmarski, and he truly excels in his profession. His dedication and expertise make him an invaluable asset. Throughout our home-buying journey, Joel demonstrated remarkable patience, showing us numerous properties and revisiting some multiple times to ensure we found the perfect fit. As first-time buyers, Joel guided us through every step of the process, offering invaluable insights and support. Even after the purchase, he continued to assist us, connecting us with contractors and providing ongoing assistance. Joel's commitment to his clients is unparalleled, and we wholeheartedly recommend him. Additionally, his family's extensive real estate background, particularly his mother Candace's support, further enriched our experience. Thank you, Joel, for your exceptional service!

ZillowVERIFIED Candace did a great job helping us sell our house while relocating. She worked diligently to get the house on the market as quickly as possible, took beautiful pictures documenting the house, and then helped us keep the property looking good once we had moved away. She was always quick to respond to our questions and made the process go as smoothly as possible.

ZillowVERIFIED Candace was a great person to work with. She was straight forward and calm throughout the whole process of selling my house. She was easy to reach and took the time to calm my nerves when I got too nervous about the whole process. She also had great contacts to handymen and attorneys who helped me out a great deal. I would not hesitate to use Candace if I ever have to go through this again.

ZillowVERIFIED We couldn't have had a better experience than we had with Candace. She is well educated in Real Estate and how it all works. She has a wealth of knowledge about how to contact movers, handymen, painters, getting a loan, etc. and is a tireless worker. Her knowledge of the real estate market is superb. She has good solid answers to questions. If she doesn't know, she finds out rapidly. We would definitely utilize her as well as recommend her to others.

ZillowVERIFIED Candace has a broad knowledge of both the market and construction of homes in the Chicago area. I utilized her expertise for both renting and purchasing a home. In addition, she is very responsive in both setting up appointments, making offers, and answering questions. I would highly recommend her for looking at places in the North Shore and Chicago.

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Candace and was very satisfied with her services. Her photography was excellent and her brochure impressive. During the sale I was living in another state and needed someone I had confidence in. From the moment I met her I was impressed with her warm and professional demeanor and felt comfortable that she was knowledgeable and experienced and could do a good job. I appreciated the way she looked after household details in my absence. Throughout the process Candace gave me good customer feedback and handled the closing well. Above all, I enjoyed working with her.

ZillowVERIFIED I sold my home with Candace recently. What impressed me was her 1) ability to get an offer within 2 weeks of placing the property on the market (a feat that 3 previous realtors were unable to achieve); 2) ability to rebound back with an offer the day after the first buyer backed out; 3) quick negotiation skills, business sense, and listing quality.

ZillowVERIFIED Candace helped me sell my condo. She is very knowledgeable about the area and helped me set a good price that generated immediate interest and offers. She made excellent recommendations for a contractor to help me get my condo in shape to sell and a lawyer to help finish the sale. She was particularly helpful after I moved and had to complete the closing out of town. Highly recommended!!

ZillowVERIFIED Candace truly represents what it means to be a professional real estate agent. She is honest; deeply knowledgeable about local market conditions, is spot on at properly pricing your home to get top dollar for you, and she responds promptly to any questions or issues that might arise. Candace is an expert at using the Internet to effectively market your home. Many of our friends commented that aEUR~our house had never looked better aEUR~ when they viewed our on line listing. This was accomplished by her ability to stage our house so that prospective buyers would focus on the features that sell a house quickly. Her pictures really made our house look its absolute best. Candace sold our home in less than a week at the top of our anticipated price range. This was entirely due to her skill as a real estate agent. My wife and I are certain that the sale of our house would have taken far longer, that we would have gotten a significantly lower price, and the overall process would have been far more stressful without her professional guidance and trusted advice.Candace receives our highest possible recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIED Candace was very easy to work with and accommodating through the lease application process. She has been very responsive to any requests since we signed the lease and moved in, and makes an effort to take excellent care of the property. I would highly recommend working with Candace to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Candace is amazing! She sold our condo and got us the town home we wanted to purchase in the area we wanted in a very difficult market this year. We are so grateful to her sticking with us through our negotiations and indecision. She knows the market well and has a ton of knowledge on all things real estate. We are so happy we had such a wonderful advocate in our corner through this whole process. We give her our highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIED When I started the process of moving out of our family home, I knew I had an overwhelming challenge ahead of me and I wanted a realtor that I could trust. Because of my unique circumstances, Candace was my first choice. She is not only trustworthy but also extremely patient and understanding about the stress involved in moving. The home I was selling needed a lot of work. She never once made me feel embarrassed or stressed out about the condition of my much loved home and with her top notch photography skills, she put together an amazing brochure highlighting the beauty of my older home. Her knowledge and experience goes without saying. When it came to purchasing my new home, her insight about the market really came through. Between her suggestions and my frantic online searches, we sifted throught a lot of properties. In the end the end, she found the most amazing place for me, because of her strong business network. With her strong negotiating skills, Candace was able to secure a contract for my new property even with multiple offers on the table. Not only does she handle all aspects of her business well, she's very personable and easy to be around.

ZillowVERIFIED I've known Candace for nearly 10 years- have recommended her to several friends, and just used her to buy a new home as well as sell our old home. She's top notch, knows her stuff, and definitely has you best interests in mind always. You wont find a better agent to price and sell your place, and give you an honest opinion about new homes you may be looking at!!Tom O.

ZillowVERIFIED Candace won me over the moment she walked in the door. She was there on the dot. Puncutal to me means someone is serious about an appointment. She was most patient with me. She understood my timeline. She knows her "stuff" and how to handle an offer and negotiate. She was available. I followed her instructions. She knows I was praying about this endeavor as I do not hesitate to tell anyone who is in control of everything that pertains to me. I can only say superlative things about this lady. When she left after the initial meeting I told her she was batting a thousand. I am so grateful for the job she did. The photography for the Internet and the brochure were outstanding and showed the house at its best. She is well experienced and it shows!

ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Candace for all our transactions in Evanston (purchase of a townhome, sale of that townhome a few years later, and finally, purchase of a single family home). For the sale, the photos of our townhome and the related marketing materials were beautiful, and very helpful for selling our property in a difficult market. When looking for our single family home, Candace's experience with home renovation gave us great insight into the older homes we were viewing. We ended up with a home that we absolutely love, in part due to her suggestions and recommendations.

ZillowVERIFIED I contacted Candace when I was moving to Chicago and needed to find a place to rent for myself and my daughter in Rogers Park. Candace was unfailingly knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. Best of all, she found a truly ideal place for us that we absolutely love. I was thrilled with Candace's work and would recommend her highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Candace Kuzmarski was an excellent agent for us. She is not only professional, and very experienced in all aspects of selling and buying real estate, but she also is a no-nonsense, hard- working and dedicated person in all that she does . She worked very hard to sell our home in a difficult market, and communicated regularly to inform and advise us. If we had any doubts in the beginning, they were replaced with trust because she truly knows what shes doing and she knows what will sell and how to negotiate in your favor. She also helped us buy our new home and understands all details involved at a master level. We were very happy with her and have recommended her to our friends and recommend her to you.

Review for Member: Candace Kuzmarski
ZillowVERIFIED We used Candace to sell our condo in Lakeview, which we never thought we could do quickly. She was at our condo a day or two later with info on neighborhood comps and recommendations on how to price, improve and stage our condo. We made a few quick improvements, as recommended, and she was immediately back to take photographs of our home. Later that night, we received a link to the webpage dedicated to our condo which included BEAUTIFUL pictures (our condo looked awesome!), a floor plan (created by Candace), and highlights of the neighborhood. We sold in a month - largely due to Candace's expertise, which we followed to the letter. Because we sold so quickly, we were able to look for a house sooner than we expected. Obviously, we used Candace again and we are now living in our dream home in Andersonville. Candace truly knows what she is doing. Choose her and listen to her and you will be rewarded!

ZillowVERIFIED I listed my place for sale with Candace for 6 months. We had only two showings and no feedback from either showing. I'm certain now that the lack of showing was because the place was listed at too high a price and I didn't know that at the time. But isn't that what a real estate agent is for? To find comps and help you decide on a reasonable price? The photos she took of my place looked like a 6 year old took them and she was so unresponsive I had to get online and figure out who her boss was to get the keys back for my place once the listing expired.

ZillowVERIFIED I definitely recommend Candace to anyone who wants an efficient buy/sell experience and a helpful partner to confidently make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. Candace is an incredible agent who helped us first buy and then later also sell. In our buy, we provide a short list of what we were looking for and had a quick call before Candace spent the whole day showing us places that were exactly what we wanted. She made did her homework (we thought *we* were organized and she was way ahead of us), she made it fun, and she seemed sincerely interested in making sure we got a great place at the best deal possible. I especially appreciate that Candace showed us a few places just above and just below our limits ($) so we knew what we were missing too. She is a total professional and a nice person to work with. When it came time then to sell, we were unquestionable enthusiastic to engage Candace again. She works hard for and provides a great service to her customers.

ZillowVERIFIED We recommend Candace highly and without reservation. As the previous reviewer stated, she is a very knowledgable and attentive agent. Additionally, her knowledge of home renovation, structural integrity and her referral base of local service providers (i.e. mason, electrician, air conditioning, home inspector) was instrumental in making our purchase of an older home that needed a little work.

ZillowVERIFIED I have been dealing with Candace for more than a decade. She is a true professional. From the first home that I purchased to the last rental property that I sold, I have found her advice to be spot on. She was my mentor in getting started in investment real estate, and I have only made money. Even in the post 2008 market, she has continued to find me good deals, and, more importantly, steer me clear of the bad ones. I would recommend her to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Candace Kuzmarksi is the definition of a phenomenal real estate agent and a real go-getter. You want this person in your corner when buying or selling a home. We met her randomly at an open house when relocating from Ann Arbor in 2000. She sent us digital pix of houses and did virtual showings back then. We were so impressed with her drive that we switched to her as an agent. She helped us find and purchase our home in Evanston (from afar). In the spring of 2010, she helped us buy a new home in Skokie and sell our Evanston home. She had several agents in to help price; had terrific advice for us; created a website and glossy marketing materials and our home sold in 10 days (15 showings and 30+ people at the open house). She is amazing at the back and forth in negotiating offers and has an exceptional sense of the market. We would recommend her to anyone and she will always be the first person we call in real estate.
