ZillowVERIFIEDThis is the 2nd time we have used Jim in the last 6 years. We couldn't be more pleased. Beside being a nice guy, he is a true professional who makes you feel reassured and confident. He is there for you every step of the way. Moving is stressful but Jim helps ease your mind. We highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIED We trusted Jim with the listing/sale of our home in Hawthorn Woods, IL and we are extremely glad we did! Having sold three houses now, I can honestly said that this was our best experience. Jim was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and professional throughout the process. Our listing looked great and he left no stone unturned in ensuring we met all of our goals. We sold the house in the timeframe we targeted and were very comfortable with the deal we negotiated. I highly recommend Jim to anyone who is looking to buy/sell a home in our area. Thanks again, Jim!

ZillowVERIFIED Selling your home can be a real headache, but thanks to Jim Luby, everything was a smooth and easy process! Jim made himself available to help and answer any questions we had at all hours of the day. Selling our home was a huge decision for us, and Jim helped alleviate all the stresses and concerns throughout this process. He met us multiple times at our house prior to listing it to walk us through everything and gave advice towards how to appropriately set our house up for a quick sale. Jim is truly a real estate expert! With his advice on how to prepare the house for a sale and with his marketing strategies, we were in a multiple offer situation and were under contract in just two days, and we got over our asking price! We could not be more please with Jim and all he has done for us! We highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home!

ZillowVERIFIED I have nothing but good things to say about my home buying experience, and that is all thanks to the Luby Group, especially Melissa. Being a first time home buyer can be very terrifying, but Melissa helped me through the whole process from start to finish, and I am grateful for that. I will be recommending her and the Luby Group to everyone I know that is thinking of buying or selling a home.

Review for Member: Jim Luby
ZillowVERIFIED Shortly after meeting Jim Luby and listing our house for sale with him, we bought our new house in Colorado and moved. That meant leaving our 35 year old house in Hawthorn Woods vacant for an extended period. It meant putting our faith in our 1,000-miles-away real estate agent to help us through this transition period. Given some problematic issues with our property, we knew that we were unlikely to enjoy a quick sale. We had significant home inspection issues, well and septic challenges, and finally the buyer's loan delays due to Irma. Suffice it to say that we leaned on Jim far beyond the normal seller / real estate agent relationship. We came to know Jim quite well! Throughout all of our challenges, Jim was the ultimate professional. He was patient when it was appropriate to be patient, and always collaborative. His advice was offered without bias, by which I mean that he was looking out first for us, and second for himself. He was never too busy to answer our calls. There was no question that he was squarely on our side. We came to rely on Jim to represent our interests, and he accepted that responsibility willingly. Throughout the process, from listing to sale, he never once let us down. I suppose that real estate agents get lots of reviews that say things like, "He sold our house in 2 weeks above asking price". That's nice, but what did that agent actually do? Was the advice on price appropriate? Who was the agent looking out for? Unlike our first listing agent (we fired her) who suggested a ridiculously high price just to get our business, Jim was realistic. He was honest. He was sympathetic to our situation, and unwavering in his efforts to find us a buyer and drive the deal to closing. He got us every dollar that was to be had. I recommend Jim Luby without reservation. Perhaps more importantly, I trust Jim Luby. He is the only Lake County real estate agent I recommend. I do so knowing that his character and his skills will serve his clients well beyond what's "expected". Of this I have no doubt. Sincerely, William S. WayHawthorn Woods, IL (now Golden, CO)

ZillowVERIFIED Jim takes time to understand what your family needs when looking for a home. He was extremely helpful in introducing the area to us, as we were moving from out of state. He spent time looking for properties that fit our criteria, and showed us muitiple homes in the area on several occasions.

I had an outstanding experience with the Luby Group. I had interviewed other realtors but they wanted me to price my house below what I considered to be its market value. It is important for realtors to be in close contact with their clients and I found the Lubys to be great. They responded to any request and always negotiated on my behalf. I sold my house in less than a month! Thanks, Lubys!

ZillowVERIFIED Jim was very patient with our 18 month (plus) process to find a new home. He is very knowledgeable about the area, housing trends and was responsive to our requests/needs. Although not an easy process, Jim found us our forever home to raise our family in our budgeted price range.If you are looking to move or sell and need a friendly, highly motivated real estate professional, I recommend Jim Luby.

Review for Member: Jim Luby
ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I were first time homebuyers and didn't know what to expect. We were referred to Jim by a friend and couldn't have been happier with the decision that we made. Jim was very thorough in describing the home buying process to us. We also weren't very sure of what neighborhood or what type of home we wanted and Jim took us all over the city to different types of places. He wasn't pushy and let us make the decision, but answered questions and gave advice when we wanted it. He responded to texts and emails quickly which is something I value when I have a lot of other things going on with my job. Jim also touched base with me after the closing to ensure that our move was going smoothly and to let me know that he had fixed an error on our home warranty that I hadn't noticed. It's nice to have someone looking out for you even after they've gotten their paycheck! In short, Jim was great and my wife and I will not hesitate to use him again when we purchase our next home (which hopefully won't be for a LONG time)!

Review for Member: Jim Luby
ZillowVERIFIED JIm helped us evaluate the process of selling our house when the market took a giant hit. He recommended the approach we used as well as a particular agent to assist us. We did everything he suggested--except we initially went with a different agent who turned out to be a horrible mistake--even though she was supposedly very highly rated in our area. Jim's rec ultimately led us back to his agent who was unbelievable. We consulted Jim all along the way and his suggestions were both professional and outstanding. If he had been active in our area, we would definitely have gone with him...but he worked harder than our first agent to help us. And with his help, we achieved a sale where we had a bidding war in a price approaching 2 million dollars. I cannot say enough about Jim, his expertise, and his dedication--with updates and advice along the way.

ZillowVERIFIED Jim Luby is by far the BEST real estate agent i have ever worked with.not only is he super knowledgeable, he's so willing to go the extra mile when it comes to showing, re-seeing, inspecting, and closing. and also recommending things to do when you own a place and forget what is important because you're so psyched to be owning a place. truly. when i was just excited (which is inevitable when doing this), he was asking questions that were so helpful to know the answers to. WOW. for real. i can't thank him enough. and i've owned multiple properties before, so you'd think i'd know what to ask. thank god he was with me! thanks Jim.

Review for Member: Jim Luby
ZillowVERIFIED Last year, Jim was very helpful in selling my two flat in Chicago. It had been a rental property for several years so it needed some repairs. Jim had valuable input regarding which repairs to prioritize to maximize the property's marketability with an eye towards keeping costs down. The market was quite strong and his input was quite helpful in not only determining an asking price, but also negotiating the final terms of the sale. Finally, we had multiple requests for showings at all times of the day, even holidays ... Jim was extremely accommodative for all potential buyers. Sometimes, it seems realtors can provide quite bit of information without effectively communicating the most important factors or steps needed to sell a home or property. Jim breaks down the most salient points well given the market conditions. He is an experienced realtor who uses vey sound judgment.

Jim is very responsive before and after your purchase .......but was not a pushy. He took the time to help me find a great place to live and helped work with the builder and lender. I highly recommended Jim. I just referred my sister to him, and will be back to see him for my next purchase.

ZillowVERIFIED Jim was knowledgeable, patient and helpful throughout the whole selling process. Since we needed to relocated before our house sold, Jim stopped by the house often to make sure all was well, which put us at ease. He has a lot of local knowledge and we are glad we went with the Jim and the Luby Group.

From the very first time we met we knew that Jim would do all that he could to find a qualified buyer for our home. He was there every step of the way and made the entire process as smooth as possible. We would recommend Jim and his team to anyone in the Barrington, Lake County area.
