Very responsive at all hours, went over the top with helpfulness & proactive, understands negotiation with brokers. Looks for ways to be as informed about your decision as possible. Highly recommend
I have used Darrell in the past to sell my condo in the Gold Coast and the process was seamless. My recent home purchase, in the suburbs of Chicago, was so easy with Darrells expertise with the market. He went above and beyond to make my home purchase stress-free and fun. His team did just that! I highly recommend Darrell for anyone!
Working with Darrell was great in all aspects and his years of experience really paid off for us. Darrell knows the process inside and out, knew what to focus on upfront to optimize our listing, and overall made the process smooth and easy. Darrell gets the job done! Highly recommend.
As first time homebuyers attempting to purchase a condo from afar (prior to moving back to Chicago) during a booming seller's market, my fiancA(C) and I were understandably nervous and uncertain at the outset of our house hunt. Thanks to Matt's diligence, expertise, hard work, and deep knowledge of the Chicago market, he made the process not only stress-free but enjoyable, and we ended up with our dream home. Matt was extraordinarily proactive in sourcing and vetting potential options for us. As "remote" buyers, he did everything he could to provide us with ample photos, videos, FaceTime tours, and his candid and honest feedback about properties. He not only synthesized what we were looking for, but also helped us develop our preferences with his valuable input on layouts, finishes, neighborhoods, etc. Additionally, Matt's access to off-market opportunities and creativity during the offer phase helped us secure a home without a bidding war, critical during the hot market cycle.I would recommend Matt without reservation to anyone looking to buy or rent in Chicagoland.
Xander works with diligence and quick responsiveness. He is on top of market trends and treats your home search like his own. I look forward to working with him again.
4 years ago I returned to Chicago and worked with Darrell to find an apartment. Darrell listens to what I wanted and helped me secure a fabulous apartment in RiverNorth. I was so happy with the experience that I referred a client to him whom he helped purchase a home. This time that buyer was me. Darrell drove a very brief, efficient and effective search, culminating in one afternoon of showings. Within 24 hours of the first showing, I had made an offer on the first condo we toured. I truly cannot identify anything that might have improved my exprience. From beginning to end, Darrell, his team, and his network of colleagues were top notch. Darrell Scott and the entire Scott Agency team is the only resource you need to buy in Chicago.
Darrell Scott was did an incredible job selling my apartment. He was always available, and knew so much about the process. He had great common sense. I truly enjoyed working with this gentleman who is the consummate professional.
From search to offer, through purchase, it was a real pleasure working with Darrell and The Scott Group in buying our home. Darrell was a huge help in narrowing down our criteria, recommending alternatives and guiding us to think through each property. My husband and I were particularly amazed at his patience and insights with our options on; condo or house, remodel or new construction, city or suburbs, and everything in between. Darrell, The Scott Group, and all their recommended professionals during this process were extremely responsive and exceptional! Darrell made this stressful time incredibly easy and found us exactly what we were looking for. It was wonderful working with this team and we highly recommend them. 5 Stars!
Look no further for your Chicago realtor - Darrell and The Scott Group are the best there is!As first time buyers that were also new to the Chicago area, Darrell educated us on the neighborhood and gave suggestions to different locations in the city that fit our criteria. He also gave us places to check out so we could really narrow in on the best neighborhood for us. Darrell was always accessible and reliable. Throughout the search, he checked in with us, sent us suggestions, and recommended trusted resources that we could leverage (loan, lawyer for closing, etc) to buy our dream home! We were so grateful for having Darrell on our side to help the entire process go as smoothly as possible. Thanks again Darrell and The Scott Group!
Darrell was recommended to us by a friend and we couldnt have been more happy to have worked with him on the purchase of our first home. He was a smart, trusting and reliable partner who always had our best interest in mind. Even after we closed, Darrell has been so kind in helping us get settled. We are so happy with our new home, and thankful for all of the hard work and commitment Darrell and his team provided to help us across the finish line. I highly recommend Darrell to anyone searching for a selling a home!
Darrell and his team made buying a home a breeze. Darrell was very hands on, responsive, and stayed on top of everything, guiding us through the few bumps we hit on the way to closing. He will advocate for you and you will be glad to have him on your side. Highly recommended and I will be using the Scott group for any future needs
Darrell helped us recently sell our home he helped us buy five years ago. Darrell was very knowledgeable about both the buying and selling process and made both feel smooth and easy. He is excellent at maintaining open, honest, and frequent communication. He was able to connect us to other valuable members of the team with whom we also enjoyed working. Trust Darrell with your buying/selling/renting home needs- you will not be disappointed.
My husband and I recently purchased our first home with Jill. She is the best partner we could have hoped for throughout the process - she is calm, patient, fun, so knowledgeable about the market, and is always available for any and all questions, no matter how big or small. She walked us through certain challenges in our process with grace and encouraged us to follow our gut while also providing guardrails for doing so, which is exactly what we needed as we navigated our first purchase. Jill has also built an incredible team of people to help with the entire transaction -- her recommendations made us feel confident that we were putting our best foot forward in each situation. From the lender, to the attorney, to the inspector, we knew we had a wonderful team of people representing us. We are so grateful to Jill for helping to guide us home and would recommend her time and time again!
Vanessa made our search so painless! Her constant honesty about what we were (and weren't) seeing in each house kept us focused and provided us with the insider info we needed to learn how to judge what we were seeing. And whenever we had questions about the legal / loan process, she was just a quick text away.
I have worked with Darrell and his team in the past and will continue to in the future for my real estate needs. I had previously used their team to help finding places to buy but this time they were helping me sell. The process was very well organized and they kept me informed of the happenings and interest. I felt good about the connections they brought to the sale for staging and legal help as well! Fully would recommend using them!
Darrell and the Scott Group team were outstanding. Darrell and his team offer boutique specialized treatment while benefiting from the backing of Compass. I switched to Darrell after my condo had been sitting on the market for months without success with another realtor companyaEUR"Darrell and the Compass concierge services made minor cosmetic changes and updated the condos marketing, leading to multiple offers in less than 30 days. I will be using the Scott Group for all future realty business in Chicago.
Darrell and Vanessa were great to work with from marketing the unit to introducing me to skilled tradespeople, putting in effort throughout, and earned my trust and respect throughout. Highly recommended!
Darrell and his team, specifically Matt Murphy, were a pleasure to work with. All of my questions/inquiries were responded to promptly and they helped me find my first apartment to rent in Chicago. I was able to get in ASAP to see properties of interest and Matt made sure to help me ask any relevant questions, address property concerns, etc. I had no idea what I was doing but the team made it so easy and comfortable for me!
We worked with Darrell this past summer to make our first home purchase during an insane time in the housing market, and he managed to make it feel like a walk in the park. Nearly every option he showed us was perfect, and he was an expert in guiding us when it came time to negotiate offers. The entire time it felt like we had someone in our corner who would make sure we got the house we wanted and that we weren't cheated in the process. I highly recommend working with Darrell to find your next home!
Buying my first home in Chicago seemed like it was going to be a daunting task. But with the Scott Group, Jill in particular, she made the process as easy as can be! I gave her my aEURoemust havesaEUR? in a property and she set me up for success to purchase. She was there anytime I had any questions or concerns and helped me to find my awesome condo! Also working with Haley Chod and The Haylo Group made all of the behind the scenes items and reminders totally seamless. She helped to keep me on track and was very helpful!
Darrell was a complete professional. A very discerning friend of mine recommended him, after I was passive about previous real estate professionals-- and her recommendation of Darrell did not disappoint. His communication is above board always. He follows up in detailed ways. He listened so well to my wants that we were able to find my purchased place in one round of exploration. I recommend him to anyone for their real estate needs.
Darrell was extremely professional, kind, polished and knowledgeable - everything you want in a broker. He took the time to understand my needs as a seller, and honored those throughout the process. Additionally, his extended team matched his warm personality, we're friendly and handled my condo with care when they were here. I would absolutely recommend working with him!
We had a really good experience with Darrell in our home purchasing process. He was always available, very responsive and knowledgeable on the market and the buying process. As first time home buyers, my husband and I had a lot of questions and Darrell was able to answer and provide guidance. We totally recommend working with him!
It was my second deal that I have worked with Darrell. His market knowledge and attention to details are unparalleled. He helped us negotiate the price down by double digit percentage for this deal and also thoroughly go through the due diligence as we closed the property. I would recommend anyone to work with him especially if this is your first home purchase.
Darrell and his team were the most professional and knowledgeable real estate team I've ever worked with. My Bucktown condo was under Contract within 2 days of listing, and most of that is due to the great advice / recommendations I received from Darrell. I will be using this team again in the future.
Friendly, helpful realtor who was very responsive with any correspondence or questions that I sent his way... He was quick to set up appointments, based on our limited schedule. He helped us hone in on specifics for our new home and what targeted focus might be best for our search options. We had some flexibility with exact location for our new residence and were eager to look at specific neighborhoods, as well as those a bit further out of the downtown area. We definitely covered a broad range of community options, and soon found the perfect place, with Darrell's help, based on our interests, needs, and budget.
Darrell and his team are absolutely amazing -- professional, knowledgeable, helpful and incredibly easy to work with. We purchased our home entirely remote, not even knowing Chicago. Darrell knew exactly what we were looking for. He made the entire closing process easy and smooth for us despite being physically located across the country.We absolutely love the property despite never having seen it before we purchased. We can't thank Darrell enough for helping us close on this place. We highly recommend Darrell to anybody who's looking to buy in the Chicago area. He is the best you can work with.
I worked with Darrell on the purchase of my first condo. He did an excellent job of helping me find exactly what I was looking for, was extremely responsive when I had questions, and was generally a pleasure to work with while navigating a challenging market for a first time homebuyer. I would recommend highly recommend Darrell to anyone seeking to buy in Chicago.
Darrell was amazing to work with on my home buying journey. He and his team were prompt with responses and were vital in the process of me securing my dream condo!I would highly recommend The Scott Group to friends, family, and anyone reading this review.
We have worked with Darrell on our last 3 moves! Last year he sold our condo in the city and found us a great rental home in the suburbs before we were ready to buy again. Darrell recently helped us find the perfect home in the suburbs! He was super responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Darrell and his team!!
Darrell was a great partner to us as we explored and found a city option after living in the suburbs for many years! He spent a lot of time showing us different neighborhoods and properties and was patient through our learning process. He was very responsive to all of our inquiries.
Darrell did a fantastic job helping me sell my home in Chicago. He went above and beyond since I was doing this remotely. He helped me get everything out of the place, set me up with professional cleaners, managed the handling of all the keys as well. I truly couldn't have done it without him.Thank you so much!
I've known Jill for years. She helped my wife and me find our first apartment together. When we started thinking about buying Jill delivered the same zero pressure, attentive, superlative partnership we fell in love with. Navigating a home purchase for the first time, we had a million questions, tight timelines and unique requests. The Scott Group tag teamed every need we presented and remained very patient with our seemingly endless first-time home buyer concerns. If you made it this far through my review, rest assured I have many more great things to say about Jill, her team and our complete satisfaction - but there's a 150 character limit.
Darrell was very knowledgeable and easy to work with in selling my place. I was very happy with the outcome and would recommend him for anyone buying or selling a place.
