    Rick helped me find and purchase my investment property. As an out of state investor I needed an agent who knew the landscape and could facilitate the many aspects of property purchase. Rick handled every detail aEUR" from finding the right property and coordinating inspections to managing negotiations and closing aEUR" all with professionalism and constant communication (at times that worked with my hectic schedule). His local expertise and hands-on support made the entire process seamless. Rick also connected me with each entity involved in the process (inspector, finance, legal, etc). He and his referrals were top notch and incredibly accommodating. After the closing on my property, Rick also worked with the HOA to manage the details, list, show, and take care of the lease for the rental property. He has coordinated contractors to manage minor repairs and has gone above and beyond to make this as easy as possible. I highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent who will go the extra mile for you, look out for your best interests, and make your process easy!

    Dream did an exceptional job with helping me with the purchase of my home. It was a struggle at times and I wanted to give up, but we persevered and continued to follow through. I had two other realtors prior to Dream and they just didn't seem to fit my vibe, or have the type of motivation I needed. Dream was a perfect dream to help me through one of the most difficult times of my life and he wasn't focused on how much I was spending on a house and his commission. He told me he we are going to complete this purchase and by the Grace of God and my realtor Dream, we accomplished a goal that appeared to be unreachable. Thanks for being a blessing and please continue to help others like you helped me.

    Rick was an invaluable asset to us throughout the purchasing process of my new condo. He is knowledgeable and transparent which made making these big decisions easier. I would absolutely recommend Rick to anyone in need of an honest realtor.

    Rick has worked with us since 2023 to look for a home in Chicago, beginning in McKinley Park, passing through Logan Square, and finally closing near Smith Park in West Town, with a beautiful unit that brings high potential for appreciation. Throughout the journey Rick showed professionalism, dedication, deep knowledge of local markets. Rick also works with a great team of attorneys and inspectors who provided expertise during the closing process, as well as contractors to help with post-closing tasks. We appreciate Rick.

    Cory was very responsive right from my first phone call with him. Meeting him in person for showings on multiple Chicago home tour days, he was even more impressive and helpful. Its uncanny how much he knows what to look out for in homes with something to hide. He was amazingly patient and invaluable to a novice home buyer in such fast moving market. A well respected Chicago insider, highly trusted and recommended real estate partner. Thank you Cory!
