ZillowVERIFIED I had an amazing experience working with Ivette. From our first conversation to closing day, she was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions. She made the entire process feel much less overwhelming by keeping me informed and guiding me through every step. What stood out most was her dedication and genuine care. She took the time to understand my needs, advocated for me throughout the process, and worked hard to ensure everything went smoothly. Her communication was excellent, and I always felt like a priority. If youre looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, responsive, and truly invested in her clients, I highly recommend Ivette. I couldnt be happier with my experience and are so grateful for all of her hard work!

ZillowVERIFIED Frank and Ivette did a great job of explaining how they would help us sell our home. They did market analysis and provided guidance on pricing which got us very close to our end sale price that we needed to close. They helped us get the home sold in short order and guided us through our closing which made it very simple.

ZillowVERIFIED If you need a realtor that goes above and beyond, look no further than Frank & Ivette. We will never use anyone else for any of our real-estate needs. After months and months of searching for a home that fit our needs, we were ready to take a pause on buying a house altogether. Once we had Frank on our team, he found us a place and got us exactly what we were looking for! He made possible what other realtors told us was impossible. I write this with the utmost confidence that Frank & Ivette will treat each of their clients like family, as they did for us. They are the answer to all of your house-hunting woes, truly. Thank you Frank for helping us meet our goal of buying a house! We couldn't have done it without him.

Review for Member: Frank Lardino and Ivette Hollendoner
ZillowVERIFIED We cant speak highly enough of Frank. The market was difficult to navigate as first time buyers, but Frank was an incredible guide. His knowledge, patience, and dedication were all essential in getting us into our home. Frank was engaged at every showing and his background in home inspections made him an incredible resource. We made it clear to Frank that we wanted to learn what he was looking for during each showing and he was an eager teacher. The homes we saw were full of teachable moments that Frank used to show the good and the bad of home maintenance. We are certainly more prepared for home ownership after spending time with Frank. Buying a home is a high pressure endeavor, but there was never any additional pressure from Frank. His patience helped us make the right decision for us each time. If we got spooked by something during a showing, he would encouragingly say, aEURoeonward.aEUR? If we were to move again, he would be the first person wed call.

ZillowVERIFIED We honestly could not have picked a better realtor! As new home buyers, my husband and I were completely overwhelmed by the whole process, but Frank was there for us every step of the way ? being flexible with timing and answering our calls day or night when we had questions. He is very knowledgeable about what to look for when searching for a home, drawing our eye to the smallest details that we wouldn?t have thought to look for. We appreciated that he always made a point to be there in-person, especially at inspection and closing, to guide us through the process. Above all, throughout this process we learned that Frank is just a great guy all around. A family man that loves hosting and entertaining and an avid cook. We would hands down recommend Frank to any of our family and friends. Thank you to Frank and Velocity for helping buy our dream home!

ZillowVERIFIED Our experience with Frank was nothing short of perfect. As first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect or look for in a home. Franks attention to detail and vast knowledge of not only the home market but home construction and inspection helped us out tremendously. He is very good at what he does and most importantly puts his clients first. Never felt pressured to make a decision but he kept us on track the ensure we found our dream home. Thank you, Frank!

ZillowVERIFIED Frank and his team are wonderful to work with. He is extremely responsive and over delivers. There was not a single step of our selling process he did not expertly handle. From our initial meeting, he gave us confidence that we made the right decision. Frank took care of photography, staging, cleaning, showings and explained the closing process thoroughly. I would recommend him and his team to everyone!

ZillowVERIFIED Frank Lardino is my angel on earth. My brother contracted him as our agent to handle the sale of my mothers home after she passed away. The emotional stress of loosing a mother who resided in her home for over 50 years was hard but Frank somehow managed to relieve our pains with his amazing caring and professionalism. I thank God for this man and know someday my momma will give him a big hug for helping her children ??

Frank runs things in such a thorough, professional & efficient manner even as we ran into many challenges throughout our most recent transaction. In addition, Frank's sale and marketing were highly effective and our outcomes were better than expected - i.e. sold faster and for more than expected.

ZillowVERIFIED Before choosing a real estate agent I spent a lot of time to research to see who would be the best choice to sell our condo.

He spent a lot of time answering my questions, provided many comps in the area as well as in the building. Frank made it a simple process. He made excellent professional photographs. He advised and helped with staging to aEURoeinfuseaEUR? some color in the listing pictures.

ZillowVERIFIED Frank Lardino assisted my parents in selling their condo in Wrigleyville. I thought that this would be a difficult process with the sale taking place during Covid. I was trying to assist my parents remotely and ended up pleasantly surprised as Frank took lead in helping connect them to all the needed aspects. Frank quickly identified the appropriate price, the comparables, and generated an offer within days. He was responsive and made the entire process easy for me in supporting my parents.

Review for Member: Frank Lardino and Ivette Hollendoner
ZillowVERIFIED I don't write reviews very often, but my experience in working with Frank and Ivette far exceeded any expectations I had going in. In fact---and at the risk of sounding like a commercial---I can't imagine working with, or recommending, anybody else in the southwest suburbs going forward.My mother decided to sell her home several years ago. I tried to help her with the process, but we weren't having any success at all. She'd worked with five different real estate agents with the same results. A handful of open houses and some newspaper ads, but very few showings. Most seemed more interested in lowering the price than working hard to find the right buyer.Then we were referred to Frank and Ivette. From the first meeting, something seemed different. Frank was very direct about the challenges with the property. But while most realtors seemed to overpromise and underdeliver, Frank very clearly managed my mother's expectations. Most importantly, though, he mapped out a specific plan and showed how he and Ivette would list, market and show the house.And they delivered. During the time we've worked with Frank and Ivette, they've marketed aggressively and had more showings in the first few months than all of the previous realtors combined. They certainly get the "little things" right. The things you'd hope and expect they would. They're (very) responsive, they work hard and they communicate often. They have a process. And it works. I think the biggest takeaway from listing with Frank and Ivette was simple. They go above and beyond. They not only deliver on their commitments, I always got the sense that they were truly looking out for my mother's best interest. That was really clear when my mother had a change of heart and decided to stay in the family home. Even at that point, and after all of the time they'd invested, Frank and Ivette were very understanding and accommodating. And that left a strong impression.If you're currently working with a realtor and they're just not getting it done for you, and based on this experience, I'd highly recommend that you reach out to Frank and Ivette.
