Working with Hayley was one of the best decisions we made. She isnt just an incredible realtoraEUR"she has truly become family. From day one, Hayley was knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and always had our best interests at heart. She guided us through every step of the process with confidence and made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless. Whether she was negotiating on our behalf, answering countless questions, or offering honest advice, we always knew we could trust her. What sets Hayley apart is the genuine care she has for her clients. She celebrated the exciting moments with us, supported us through the challenging ones, and made us feel like we were her top priority every step of the way. We are so grateful not only for helping us find and buy a home, but for the friendship that came from it. If youre looking for someone who is professional, dedicated, and truly invested in your family and your future, Hayley is the one. We cant recommend her highly enough!
We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us navigate the Chicago market! As out-of-state buyers, we were looking for someone with tons of experience and very local knowledge to help us decide on exactly where to buy. Hayley helped us narrow down our search by providing detailed insight into the various neighborhoods we were considering and showing us what we could get within our budget. Once we got our hearts set on a single family home in a very popular neighborhood, Hayley warned us that segment of the market was the most competitive at our price point. However, with Hayley as our agent, we got our offer accepted in a multiple offer situation and could not be more grateful for her guidance! We thoroughly trusted her every step of the way given her professionalism and proven track record of success in the neighborhood.
Hayley and her team helped us find the perfect home for us in Chicago. She was recommended by a relative who said she is the best. My husband and I found it to be totally true. Hayley is not only professional and knowledgeable but she is passionate about making sure you find and negotiate smartly the home that you want. She and her team go above and beyond with their time and efforts. Cannot thank them enough. We also appreciate the vendors she recommended since we are new home owners in the area.
Can?t say enough great things about Hayley and her team during the home buying process. Hayley was honest, very responsive, willing to say ?no? to properties (for the right reasons), incredibly resourceful, an advocate, and a smart negotiator - someone you want on your side. You won?t regret using her team!
Hayley and her team were amazing!! We used them to sell two different properties in Chicago and couldnt have been happier with the results! We had a duplex down condo in Andersonville we couldnt sell using another realtor. Hayley was able to use her expertise and innate sense of the market to get our property sold at the price we wanted! When it came time to sell our second property we didnt hesitate to use Hayley and her team again. We owned a single family home in Old Irving Park and after pocket listing then going on the market, we received multiple offers within a few days! Hayley helped us sort through the options and again get our property sold at a price that we were thrilled with. Hayley and her team were direct, honest, and transparent through both sales. Their confidence assured us we were in good hands. If youre looking to sell a property in Chicago, make sure you use Hayley and her team!
Help us buy and sell a home in portage park, great job with helping on current market suggestions and getting the house sold quickly at our target price.
Hayley is the best of the best real estate agents. My husband and I worked with her on both the purchase of a new home and the sale of our old home, and her passion, dedication and knowledge set her apart. She helped us navigate a tough real estate environment, showing us tremendous patience and understanding as we searched for the right place that met our family?s needs. She knew what was important to us and had an endless number of ideas to offer creative solutions when we tried envisioning ourselves in each home we visited. Despite inventory being so challenging, she also somehow managed to source different off-market homes for us to see. Hayley made herself indispensable by being responsive and attentive while offering invaluable guidance throughout the entire process, from the start of our search through the sale of former home. She had our best interests in mind and provided honest feedback, even when it was probably hard to deliver. Hayley is also a master negotiator. She skillfully facilitated both transactions ? securing the deal on our new home despite multiple higher offers AND getting us multiple over-asking offers for the place we sold. She was inventive in the negotiation process and suggested approaches that we had never heard of or considered before. Hayley was the perfect partner in our real estate journey. Her confidence and steadfastness were reassuring during such stressful life events. Working with Hayley was one of the best decisions we?ve ever made, and we couldn?t recommend her enough!
Hayley and her team were amazing throughout the entire sales process. They not only helped us prepare our home for sale, down to picking out the finishes and paint colors that they knew would look best to sell our place, but when we surprised them by putting an offer in on a home, they put their feet on the gas and got our home ready to list in just days. There?s no question that the way they prepared our home for the market, and priced the home, lead to it being sold as quickly as it did (it sold before even officially going on market!) We couldn?t recommend Haley and her team more.
I cannot recommend Hayley enough. She helped my husband and I navigate buying our first house?a process everyone warned me would be very stressful but which ended up being somewhat of a breeze, thanks to Hayley and her team. We felt supported every step of the way and were constantly reassured that we were in good hands (not that we ever doubted it). Hayley was available to answer all our questions and used her vast experience to provide helpful advice. We couldn?t be more pleased with our experience working with Hayley.
Hayley went above and beyond helping me find a home in Chicago. She demonstrated unwavering professionalism and expertise. She was very patient throughout the process. Moving from CA without a set timeline and knowledge of the different neighborhoods, she showed me around and made recommendations of places to explore. She was always available, responsive and followed up without being pushy. Everyone I interacted with on her team was very knowledgeable. Hayley also provided some input on selling my out of state properties. Shes been following up post close. I would highly recommend her, and would use her again in the future.
We feel so lucky to have had Hayley as our agent, especially as first time homebuyers! She helped us navigate the home buying process in a very difficult market with clear strategy and strong support. Her communication skills, flexibility, and patience were such strengths that she made us feel like her only clients, although we knew that was far from the case. Hayley is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market. She would explain in detail why a property we liked may or may not be a good investment, and we always felt like she had our best interest at heart. Hayley ultimately used her extremely effective negotiating skills to help us buy a place we love in a highly competitive, multiple offer situation. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate expert!
?Exceptional? is not an easy trait to find in a service profession. As two legal and healthcare professionals, we recognize and appreciate an effort that exceeds every metric of expectation. If you?re reading this review, you?ve discovered a real estate professional who embodies all of these qualities. As first-time home buyers (and newcomers to Chicago to boot), we couldn?t have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Hayley. From the moment we met, she took the time to understand our needs and preferences, patiently guiding us through the entire home buying process. Hayley didn?t just show us properties; she educated us on the neighborhood dynamics, helped us avoid pitfalls, and empowered us to make informed decisions. What truly impressed us about Hayley was her masterful negotiation skills. Thanks to her expertise and strategic approach, we were able to secure our dream home for well under the asking price. But Hayley didn?t stop there. She offered invaluable design advice for our new home, helping us envision how to personalize the space to fit our style. Her keen eye for detail and creative suggestions truly made a difference in turning our house into a home. Hayley is not just a real estate agent?she?s trusted advisor, a skilled negotiator, and a genuine advocate for her clients. Her dealmaking skills are matched only by her candor. And, take it from us: you want honest opinions at every juncture of the real estate process. With Hayley, it?s not just a job?it?s a passion. She transformed a typically stressful rollercoaster into an engaging (and ultimately fulfilling) experience. And, that?s not to say there weren?t obstacles that cropped up along the way! But, Hayley?s fearlessness neutralized every single issue. Hayley scored lifelong clients with us and we rest easy knowing that we?ve got Chicago?s best real estate strategist in our corner. If you?re in the market for a smart, savvy and dynamic real estate advocate, this is your sign. You?ve found her. Zach & Trevor
The Westoff Group real estate professionals are absolutely outstanding! Hayley Westoff has assembled and leads a team that truly knows Chicago/Chicagoland, its diverse neighborhoods, the constantly changing real estate market and how to match clients with the best home. Our experience with Hayley and her team was as a buyer, but her experience representing both buyers and sellers was invaluable to us. For example, she was spot-on about market timing and pricing. With respect to pricing, Hayley literally saved us tens of thousands of dollars advising us on the purchase price of our new home. And now that we?ve closed, Haley has provided us with endless resources for ongoing home care (window replacements, HVAC repair, etc.). We are so lucky Hayley is our trusted advisor,and will be for the next transaction! Tara and Tom
Buying a home from out-of-state is always a daunting experience. From figuring out the right neighborhoods to navigating the crazy Chicago housing market, it can honestly feel like a full-time job. Thats where Hayley and her team come in. From our initial conversation, I knew we were in good hands. She made it clear that her priority was not just to find us a house but a home. Hayley worked tirelessly to help us secure our condo in Logan Square. She was incredibly patient with us and made sure that we found a place that checked all of the boxes that were important to us. Rain or shine, she always made herself available for virtual tours and diligently worked around our schedule whenever we made day trips into town for showings. On top of it all, Hayley is an expert negotiator. She was able to help us land our condo days after it was listed on the market and was even able to convince the sellers to cancel the open house based on some creative negotiation strategies. Hayley was with us every step of the way from start to finish. Her professionalism, attention to detail and insights were invaluable throughout this process. We are beyond excited to move to Chicago and into our new condo and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend Hayley and her team to anyone looking for their next home!

Had an AMAZING experience with Hayley, Jamie, Alissa, and the whole Compass team. They more than earned their commission through professional & dependable communications, above & beyond pre-market support (e.g., staging, marketing), deft use of the private market, and strong negotiation skills with potential buyers. Honestly, I don't know what else you would want in a real estate agent and we would absolutely use them again.
Jamie Book and Hayley Westhoff helped guide me into buying the right Multi-Family building and communicated with me throughout the whole process. There are a lot of paperwork that goes into buying a home and they were on top of it. I can't thank them enough for their knowledge in the Chicago markets and real estate.
We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Hayley as our agent when buying our first home. From the very beginning, Hayley demonstrated a deep understanding of the Chicago real estate market, and she was able to easily translate what we wanted into suggestions for where we should be looking in the City. Her communication and responsiveness were exceptional. She promptly addressed all our questions and concerns and kept us informed about new listings that matched our criteria. She kindly tolerated and always promptly responded to our numerous questions via text message, which was greatly appreciated. We knew Hayley had a full slate of clients, but that never prevented her from being readily available for showings and timely coordinating with other parties involved, which made the entire experience smooth and hassle-free. Hayley's negotiating skills and judgment were truly impressive. She firmly advocated for our best interests, negotiated favorable terms, and provided great counseling on how to put in a fair but competitive offer in a highly competitive market. Her experience and professionalism were evident in every interaction, and we felt confident that she was working tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome for us. We are overjoyed with our new home, and we owe our heartfelt thanks to Hayley for helping us find the perfect house for us. Her exceptional service and expertise as our real estate agent were truly outstanding, and we are thrilled to recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional. We can confidently say that Hayley is unmatched as an agent for the north side neighborhoods of Chicago.
Zillow asked me to not only rate Hayley overall but also rate her across several categories including process expertise and responsiveness. Honestly, I wouldnt have even needed to read all the category descriptions to give them all a top scoreaEUR"Hayley was a rockstar in every category I could possibly think of. This is our second time working with Hayley, and we just continue to be impressed by her diligence, creativity, professionalism and compassion. Thank you so much to Hayley and Jamie and the rest of the team.
We had previously worked with Jamie's colleague, Hayley Westhoff, and Hayley recommended we work with Jamie for this transaction. We could not have been more thrilled with our experience in locating and purchasing our first investment property. Jamie was extremely responsive and tireless in tracking down all of the relevant information from the many properties we were interested in and helped us quickly figure out which ones were the most promising from an investment perspective with her local knowledge of the Chicago neighborhoods and experience with investment purchases. Jamie also helped us to stand firm in negotiations and get us the property we wanted at a purchase price we were happy with and assisted us in navigating an unexpected hiccup with the property's HOA rules and regulations to a successful and quick closing. Jamie was professional and fun to work with and we will definitely be recommending her and utilizing her for any more investment purchases in the future.
My partner and I were buying property for the first time and we came across Hayley and her group when shopping around for an agent. We felt so lucky we had decided to work with her. Hayley is incredibly knowledgeable, well researched, thorough, and has your best interest at the heart of her business. If youre looking for an agent I highly highly recommend you call Hayley and see how you will feel just as lucky as my partner and I did to work with her and her caring team!
Hayley and her team are amazing, especially Hayley and Katie. They are true professionals and I can't say enough about the guidance, service, and recommendations along the way for our home purchase and condo sale. They have all of the contacts that we needed when encountering inevitable bumps in the road and were always a responsive advisor. Truly a professional real estate team! They made the entire process easier from us every step along the way. Hands down would recommend them to anyone considering making a new home purchase or a sale.
Hayley and her team had excellent marker knowledge as well as a professional network for working through the transaction. The team worked tirelessly to assure a smooth process and they were quickly accessible. They were able to gauge the interest level of the buyers and collaborated well with the buyers agent for a seamless and quick transaction where everyone finished happy and excited.
Hayley has helped us purchase 2 homes so far. She is very easy to work with and is always helpful! I often think of questions at odd hours of the day, outside of working hours. Hayley is very quick to respond in those situations and always seems to have time to answer my questions. When it came to negotiation, Hayley has a very good pulse on the market and the value of a home. More importantly, she can read the other agent/sellers well and knows when to push for more and knows when to recommend an alternative path forward. Hayley also has partnerships with countless vendors. When we needed a contractor, home inspector, attorney, cleaner, or anyone else, Hayley was quick to recommend someone that we were happy with. I will absolutely use Hayley as my agent next time I'm purchasing a home, even if that's many years from now.
Hayley was great! She understood my requests and found me exactly what I was looking for. I am very specific and she took the time to show me as many as it took to find the right one. With her knowledge of the local market and trends she found me something that checked off all of my requirements for this purchase. Being an investment property she negotiated a great price with great insight for future value growth. From start to finish I felt very confident with her navigation through the process, especially moving from out of state.
Colby was the best! She completely understood what I was looking for and all her recommendations were relevant and on point. She was responsive, organized and accommodating of my schedule. On my sale side she and Hayley had a well thought out strategy, great staging advice, and were very helpful with negotiations. Everything went quick and smooooth.
Colby and Hayley were both wonderful to work with and were with us every step of the way to help my husband and I purchase our first home in Chicago. As first time home buyers and being relatively new to Chicago, my husband and I were both very excited but nervous about finding our first home. Colby and Hayley were very patient with us, explained each step of the process, answered all our questions, and offered so much support along the way. We felt like they always had our best interests in mind. We were able to find and close on a home in our favorite neighborhood in less than two months in a competitive market. They made the stressful home buying process very smooth for us and we could not be more excited to move into our first home. We highly recommend working with both Colby and Hayley, we know we will be working with them again in the future!
Hayley and Ana are FANTASTIC. We have not had great experiences with realtors in the past and we admittedly entered into this relationship with our guard up. We could not have been more thrilled with both Hayley and Anna. From the beginning, it was clear that Hayley was truly our advocate and not just about closing the sale as quickly as possible. She actively listened to our concerns, respectfully educated us on the process, and continually volunteered to go above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. She has even agreed to help me pick out counters for our new home! Hayley and Ana both do an exceptional job at making you feel like you are the most important client they have.
Hayley and her team were excellent partners for us during our homebuying process. As first time buyers, we had some knowledge gaps and Hayley was there to advise and educate us every step of the way. She and her team communicated extremely well from start to finish and made the process smooth for us. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Hayley is a phenomenal realtor and we would readily choose to hire her again. She made our home-buying adventure so much less stressful than it might have been. She was quick to respond to us and answered all our questions, even asking the questions we didn't know we needed to ask. Her extensive knowledge of the market helped us make a reasonable offer. Her advice was crucial when we were dealing with some tricky back and forth with the sellers. Her recommended vendor list was perfect when we finally had an accepted offer and we assembled a fabulous team based on all her recommendations. I would happily recommend Hayley to any of my friends or family.
Hayley was extremely professional, communicative and instrumental in what turned out to be a bit of a whirl-wind house purchase. Once we found our dream home she assisted us, as first-time home buyers, in navigating and succeeding in a multi-offer situation AND an extremely quick closing process. We have no doubt that her expertise and skill led to the sellers accepting our offer and to our successful closing only three weeks later. Not only is Hayley fantastic on her own, but so is every professional she recommended that we use throughout the process. We highly recommend Hayley to anyone looking to purchase a home, and certainly to anyone who is a first time home buyer like we were. She was available to support and explain every part of the process, from finding our home in our favorite neighborhood, to putting together an appropriate and attractive offer, to inspection and to closing.
Hayley and Christie sold my 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condo in Old Town. First, Hayley and Christie came to the listing interview and they were very well prepared. They had done research of the comps and their presentation materials were next level. Next, they suggested some minor improvements to my place that I believe were essential to making the sale. They chose new cabinet color, paint and new carpet that really modernized and improved the look of my place. Once the place was listed, Hayley and Christie attended every showing and held open houses. But what really stood out was when things became difficult with my condo association, Hayley and Christie had my back the entire time. They worked with the association to help get past the issue and keep the sale in place (in addition to keeping me sane). I give Hayley and Christie 5 full stars and I would highly recommend them.
Highly recommend! Easy to work with, responsive, sold our condo over asking in 24 hours. Made the process stress free and handled everything from start to finish.
After having an experience with a realtor who was not timely with communication, I found Hayley through online research and reading great reviews. After sending my initial email, she responded within 5 minutes. She was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the whole process, and she ultimately helped me to find the perfect place for me. Hayley is clearly experienced at what she does and it great at networking. I truly appreciated not only her expertise in negotiating , but also her ability to help me understand the ins and outs through it all. Though some of the email communication and information during the closing process was a bit generic and not individualized to my specific situation, Hayley was always quick to respond to any questions I had throughout, and to help me navigate the waters as a first-time home buyer. I really enjoyed working with Hayley, and am so grateful to have had her as my realtor. Thank you, Hayley!
As first time homebuyers we had no idea what the process would be like. Hayley walked us through every step and provided us with all the necessary resources to comfortably make a decision. We were able to close on a house that was only on the market for 2 days! I would highly recommend Hayley and her team to any friend in the home buying stage.
