Jay did a great job for us, from start to finish! He was knowledgeable, responsive in his communication, and willing to negotiate for an agreeable price. He handled the repairs required for closing, utilizing his vast contact list. He introduced us to our real estate attorney and continually followed up/followed through, especially when dealing with the lender. Thanks to Jay, we were able to close in a timely manner!

Alex was a pure joy to work with. He made the process of buying and selling a home a smooth process. From our first meeting with him, we felt Alex had done his homework with comparables and a game plan for selling our home. Alex set up a portal of properties with our wish list and called us every week to set up times to view new properties. Alex went above and beyond to get us the condo we purchased. He also came to our aid the morning of our house closing to come up with a quick solution when water was found in the basement. Alex's professionalism is top notch and his advice for staging our house resulted in a very quick sale with an over asking offer. We could not have asked for a better realtor to work with. We highly recommend Alex if you are buying or selling. We are extremely grateful for choosing Alex.

Jay is an absolute rockstar! We recently sold our rental property in Chicago and Jay made the entire process seamless. Not only did he expertly handle negotiations, but he also went above and beyond to help us with repairs and renovations. He connected us with top-notch contractors and oversaw the entire process, taking a huge weight off our shoulders. Jay's expertise, communication, and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly easy. If you're looking for a realtor who truly has your back, look no further than Jay! Highly recommend!

Alexander was awesome to work with. He was very friendly and professional at all times. I appreciated all of his advise and honesty. He would be my first choice for any real estate transaction I would have in the future.

Jay was fantastic. He has a wealth of knowledge, all of which I used. Jay had been keeping in touch with me for well over three years. He knew my husband was critically ill and that we wanted to move to Florida. It became complicated, my husband died and I had to clean out the house (50 yrs. of living) myself. In comes Jay with all of his contacts. In the dead of winter, he led me to an estate salesperson, a painter, house cleaner and a small repairs person. They all were punctual, and reasonable. Jay knew exactly what to what and when to do it. The whole time he kept me informed, was kind, considerate and calming. Everything went smoothly and I even received more than the asking price. Thank you, Jay, for all you did, behind the scenes and for me. You truly do not know how much I appreciated you as a friend and realtor.

What can I do if I have concerns with my agent?

Hi Michelle, there is something that appears to be spooking the buyers. Any inspection issues that you need to fix. The agent wants to earn a commission and would sabotage the deal. Find out why. You also have an attorney representing you. What did they say?
