ZillowVERIFIEDIvona takes her business very seriously, diligently working to find you a home, but she's not mercenary or obtrusive. She never showed me a property I didn't want to see, never encourage me to bid on something I was unsure of or rushed me in any way. Ivona is friendly and easy to talk to, but she's not obsequious or ingratiating. She is an actual woman with an actual personality; she doesn't mold herself to please others. She's direct and funny. She is witty and sometimes biting. I like her as a person as much as a professional. More than anything she is efficient. What is the point of going to open houses you don't like? Simply to go? We quickly came to an understanding of what I was looking for. She got me in to see my current condo before it even listed and I made an offer on the spot. I believe from the first email she sent me (she was referred by my sister, more evidence in her favor: we've kept her in the family) until the day my offer was accepted was 6 weeks. It would be foolish not to hire her.
ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we started this journey, we were like travelers without a map, directionless. After we met with Ivona, we were immediately put at ease and could see a path to the future. Her advice, team, and experience were priceless. Ivona was patient with us every step of the way. We have learned so much and look forward to continued collaboration as we transition from sellers to buyers.

Her calm expertise inspires confidence, and her fabulous team make the whole process so easy - its like flying on autopilot!
ZillowVERIFIEDThis is the 3rd time I have worked with Ivona and her team. She says it will sell, it will sell. She has knowledge and a strategic mind. She is honest and this is what makes her valuable and worth every penny. You want to buy or sell real estate, see her first. Proven track record and without a doubt a top real estate professional.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Ivona on the sale of our place in the city. This was not a standard sale as we had to rebuild our house from scratch after a fire accident, and we could not have done it so successfully and seamlessly without Ivona. She and her team was always accessible and easy to communicate with. We sold the house off market within a few weeks and we could not have done it without her. Without a doubt we would use Ivona again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable agent to work with on the sale or purchase of a property. She really is the best of the best in what she does.

ZillowVERIFIEDIvona Kutermankiewicz was enthusiastically recommended to us by another of her clients in our condo building. We interviewed three brokers, all of whom were strongly recommended by friends. All were very impressive and highly professional in the interviews but she stood out.She was great to deal with. Importantly she kept us well informed through the process. We received a price at the upper end of our expectations as wells a cash offer in a very difficult market environment in which mortgage rates more than doubled. The neighbor who recommended her was justified in his enthusiasm for her skills and we feel equally enthusiastic for recommending her services to others.

ZillowVERIFIEDIn an unprecedented real estate market that is overcrowded with buyers and very little inventory, Ivona managed to identify a great buy on a single family home in the east village that was under priced. Following her direction on how to sell old home for sale, Ivona sold it in three hours with multiple cash offers over listing price.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona was fantastic. Our property was in a weird location and had an awkward setup. She was great at hosting a ton of open houses and staging things perfectly so that we found that unique buyer.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona was absolutely fantastic to work with when looking for a home. We are first time homebuyers and when starting out we had very broad set of criteria, which she helped us narrow down by showing us the trade-offs between different Chicago neighborhoods and home styles. She is incredibly responsive and helped coordinate a number of showings for us. We ended up finding our dream home in a pre-market listing that she had access to. Once we had decided on the house, she guided us through the application and closing process, making great recommendations on lenders, lawyers, etc. so that we could close within 30 days. The entire process was seamless. We are so happy in our new home - thank you Ivona!

Will highly recommend her and will absolutely use her in future.
ZillowVERIFIEDI appointed Ivona to sell my home in Chicago because she came highly recommended and her sales results were excellent. Ivona and her Assistant, Lola, proved to be a formidable team attracting multiple offers within days of my property listing with an offer accepted on day 4, before the first open home. Ivona managed the entire process for me and her excellent communication, attention to detail and negotiating skills resulted in a quick sale at a great price! I cannot thank Ivona enough and recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell property in the area.
ZillowVERIFIEDI had Ivona help me find a great home 12+ years ago then got in touch with her again this September to sell my property. It was like talking to a friend who never forgot about me or my place. Ivona is incredibly professional, blunt yet friendly, helpful in every way, efficient, honest, and knowledgeable. She knows what goes on inside and outside of buildings and is able to recommend reliable, professional contractors when needed. Ivona is definitely 5+ stars in the ratings above. I was living out-of-state when I sold my place, but Ivona and her team made it easy and really worked with me to sell. It was such a relief to have someone I feel comfortable with answer all my seemingly amateur and embarrassing questions about everything. Thanks again, Ivona.

ZillowVERIFIEDIvona did an amazing job for my wife and I. From pricing, to staging, to repairs, to deal making, to providing feedback, negotiation help, guiding through inspection/attorney review and ultimately closing, Ivona was absolutely excellent. She is an expert through and through and she was there for us every step of the way. Having four small children, this process could have been a nightmare, but instead, in Ivonas hands, it was a breeze. She is so knowledgeable, resourceful and pragmatic, but most importantly, she was very real with us. You could tell that this was much more than a transaction for her, she really put her heart and soul into the process. She always played the role of trusted advisor; we never felt pressured to act, think or feel differently than we did, and she skillfully supported and guided us through every decision along the way. I would highly recommend Ivona and would encourage anyone listing in the city (West Town in particular) to use Ivona, I promise you, you will not regret it.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona and her team were a huge help with our intricate neighborhood knowledge, staging and pricing recommendations. We got our house ready quickly and sold in 6 days! Lucky to work with one of the best, who understood our needs and became a friend of the family!
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona knows Chicago real estate. We were sellers and she had the experience and the essential online tools to show our home at it's very best. A real pro you can count on for undivided attention throughout the marketing process.
ZillowVERIFIEDI've had a few realtors over time; and by far, Ivona was the most professional and responsive that I've dealt with. She went above and beyond to sell my condo and was in constant communication with me. As soon as comments started coming in, she discussed them with me and reacted to any negatives by helping us develop different strategies to counteract the comments. There was never a time that she wasn't working with me; and my condo was a priority.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe were introduced to Ivona through the seller of the property we bought. She agreed to meet with us to go over our options. We were looking for a property and didn't have a realtor yet. After speaking with Ivona, we decided we wanted her to be our realtor. Ivona helped us through the process and made everything extremely easy. We would highly recommend her to anyone.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona sold our condo Spring of 2020. I enjoyed working with her and her team throughout the entire process. They are very professional and keep you informed every step of the way. She listed our condo in a matter of days even though she was out of the country at the time. The photos looked so good we almost changed our mind about selling. We listed in the fall when the market was slow. She never pressured us to drop the price. When the market heated up in the spring she contacted us to list again and we sold in less than 5 days.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona and her team were truly wonderful real estate partners in me and my wife's journey to purchase our first condo. Ivona not only sent us a wealth of condo options in each of our target neighborhoods on a daily basis, but gave us very helpful background on how our budget, preferences, and long term plans would fit into each of these neighborhoods. From offer acceptance to condo closing is where Ivona and her team really showed their experience, dependability, attention to detail, and personal touch. My wife and I always felt comfortable asking any questions and felt so secure and confident in every step in the closing process. One of the benefits of having a real estate expert like Ivona on your side is that she can help you see value in a property where others can't. We couldn't be happier with our condo purchase, and we are so thankful to have found Ivona!
ZillowVERIFIEDI met Ivona when she was the broker for the seller of my current home. But I knew that--from here on out--I'd want her to be MY broker! Ivona and her team were terrific in selling our condo, from recommendations to reports to helpful data and trends, to finding us the right contractor get things upgraded, she handled it all with ease and made the whole process simple and easy. AND she got us a great deal on our condo!! When it's time to sell our current home (the one she brokered on the seller side last time) she will, again, be the one we work with.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona and her team are 5-star! Do not hesitate to contract with them! What ever needs to be done in the process of selling, they can handle everything, and it is done first class. We were extremely comfortable and confident with Ivona and her team. Nancy and Jim Bolton
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona was an absolute joy to work with. She provided my husband and I with wonderful guidance during our home search, carefully listening to our desires and concerns and offering both wisdom and patience throughout the process. When it came time to make our final decision, she expertly steered us toward the right choice for us, encouraging and guiding us with care and expertise. We truly felt like Ivona wanted the very best for us, as both clients and friends. We couldn't have asked for more out of a broker, or the dream home she helped us find! Thank you, Ivona!
ZillowVERIFIEDA few months ago, my fiancA(C) and I were entertaining the idea of buying our first home. Thankfully, a friend/previous client referred us to Ivona. At the beginning of this process, we werent 100% sold on the idea of buying a home. We didnt know what to expect, we werent entirely sure what we could afford, and we were unfamiliar with many of the neighborhoods in the area. Following the referral, we met Ivona at an open house and we knew that we wanted to work with her. Throughout our home search, Ivona was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and always offered an honest opinion. As first time home buyers, we never once felt taken advantage of and we always felt like we were VIP clients. She worked with us over countless weekends to attend open houses, private showings, second showings, and when we found the one she helped us throughout the negotiation process. Her expertise does not stop there. She has a strong community of inspectors, attorneys, lenders, contractors, and any professional you may need to work with after the purchase. We bought a property with the intention of doing renovations prior to moving in. As a homebuyer with no interior design experience, Ivona went out of her way assist me with details such as paint colors, living room layouts, kitchen renovation ideas and inspiration, bathroom vanities, and the list goes on. As this process comes to an end, I cannot express how thankful we are for Ivonas services and guidance. If youre looking for an all-encompassing real estate agent which connections to the area, years of experience, and a keen eye for good properties, you will want to work with her. We highly recommend! Thank you for all of your hard work and for helping us find our first home!
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona has helped us buy and sell. She knows the market well and takes the time to help you find the perfect home. She is dedicated to her clients and always goes above and beyond.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe selected Ivona because of her record of success and her knowledge and previous experience with sales in our neighborhood. We first met with Ivona to tour building and establish a satisfactory listing price for the property. Her photographer took excellent photos and drew up good floor plans to create a clear informative collection of photographs making a good presentation of the building. We got two offers, lower than the listing price, almost immediately. Ivona offered advice and guidance with negotiation and request of final best offers that lead to the sale at the full listed price. Throughout, we were satisfied with her services and highly recommend her.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona was not our realtor at first. We made the mistake of going with a friend of ours as our realtor simply because he was our friend. Soon enough, we met Ivona at a home she was showing in Bucktown. From there, we fell in love with her business and how she runs it. We put an offer on the house and got declined, but we still called her to take over finding us a house. She was traveling at the time, but she still made time for us. She always makes herself available, and we would not have been able to buy a house without her so peacefully!
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona helped us look for a home for a year. She was patient and on top of the seller's agents and our financing. On move day, when the elevator in our new condo complex broke down, she was on the phone with the elevator company for hours. She has gone above and beyond for us and I'd recommend her to anyone.
ZillowVERIFIEDNothing but an outstanding experience with Ivona. She is patient, knowledgeable and gives her clients the utmost care when it comes to their real estate needs. Absolutely would recommend her to my friends and family.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona knows how to get results and I wouldnt dare try to buy or sell real estate without using her. We have worked with Ivona to buy and sell several properties and each time her experience, expertise, and knowledge of the market makes her an invaluable resource. From showings to negotiations to closing - she approaches situation with a personal attention to detail and treats each transaction as if it were her own. Ivona also has great insight into market trends, and she provides honest, straightforward, and actionable advice. Bottom line aEUR" Ivona is an exceptional broker and I wouldnt risk buying or selling without her representation.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe are so happy we found Ivona. When we first got started on our home search, we considered some friend referrals to agents new to the business. We ivona at an open house and immediately decided we wanted to work with her. It made such a difference to have an agent with relationships and experience when it came time to negotiate. We bought somewhat of a fixer upper- and shes been open and honest with us throughout the process. Even helping me pick out cabinet colors (she has great taste). Id highly recommend her to any family or friends.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I are moving to Chicago and were referred to Ivona by a friend. From the very first interaction, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and a very good listener. She has such a thorough understanding of the market and current inventory, knows each neighborhood in detail (street by street, and block by block!) and has contacts with so many other agents and builders to find things before they are even listed. She listened intently to the type of home and features we wanted, and sent us many options to consider looking at, especially given the low inventory on the market (during early February). She worked with our constantly changing schedules to show us around over a 2 day period, and once we settled on a home to make an offer on, she was an incredible advisor. She helped determine the best initial offer, and guided us through the difficult negotiations and back and forth. She also used her contacts to get us the best inspector, attorney and lender. She made herself available to attend the inspection and walk through, and responds very quickly to any texts or emails. Not only is she an amazing real estate agent, but she is also just a genuinely kind and caring person! We can't recommend her highly enough and will definitely use her again and tell all of our friends about her! Ivona is simply the BEST!
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona Kutermankiewicz is a real PRO in every sense of the word. She walked us through the buying process for our new Wicker Park home with ease, answering all of our questions along the way. She is very well connected and set us up with her trusted team of experts to help us with inspection and the various legalities involved. I look forward to engaging her again the next time we either sell or buy property in Chicago.
ZillowVERIFIEDIvona sold our condo in River North last spring. Our unit was very contemporary, and therefore not for everyone. She brought all of her experience and contacts into play, finding the perfect buyer within the timeframe she originally suggested. Throughout the whole process she was timely, professional, and knowledgeable. We will definitely use her again.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I used Ivona to sell our home in Wicker Park. She was instrumental in helping us sell our house quickly. She differentiated herself from some other brokers by putting a lot of time and energy into the preparation of the house before it went to market. She was able to communicate with both husband and wife equally well. She has seen it all in the housing market and she knows the Chicago market well. I would use her again.
ZillowVERIFIEDUnderstanding, easygoing, generous with her time, showed me a lot of houses until I found what I needed. Made the whole process as stressless as possible.
