Jim was wonderful and easy to work with. He helped my former spouse and I sell our home during a very difficult transition period in our lives, and I appreciated his patience, flexibility, and understanding throughout. With Jim's guidance and expertise we were able to sell our home for more than I had previously thought possible. I would gladly work with Jim again.
Jim did an outstanding job helping me sell my home and find the right townhouse rental. My house sold very quickly, and he made the entire process smooth from start to finish. He was always responsive, easy to work with, and kept everything on track without any stress. I really appreciated his professionalism and straightforward approach. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent.
We recommend Jim Regan highly to anyone looking for a home around the northern suburbs and area he's in! Jim is extremely knowledgeable and knows well how to answer questions and concerns in great detail- and for us being first time home buyers, this was extremely important to us.
I was assisting a family member with the Sale of a home. Not being familiar with the area and nearby to the property, I knew we had to rely on a Realtor who could manage under these circumstances. I was first impressed when I read about Jim - his experience, reviews and ratings. I was overly impressed when I actually worked with him - true professional, extremely knowledgeable, always responsive, kept us informed of every viewing and feedback and recommended a great attorney making this the easiest, most seamless process. In addition the property sold in record time and the closing went without a flaw. We highly recommend Jim!
"Working with Jim Regan was the smartest move we made. Jim sold our house a month ahead of schedule and for six percent more than we expected. His industry contacts helped us across the board: with the sale and removal of contents, designer suggestions to increase buyer appeal, and legal counsel. Jim applied his "can do" approach to every step of the process up to, and including, his on-site attention the evening before closing." Jim is top notch.
I cannot recommend Jim enough! Time and again Jim went above and beyond while helping to sell my Aunts home. His attention to details, experience and understanding of our situation helped to avoid some challenges before they occurred, and helped to mitigate those challenges we had to overcome. Through it all Jim would always bring a positive attitude and a willingness to help our understanding of all the details. A great realtor and persin that I would absolutely recommend!
Jim was excellent to work with. He was very timely when it came to responses and negotiated on our behalf. He was very knowledgeable on information that we lacked. An overall great experience and would highly recommend Jim respresenting you.
Knowledgeable and tenacious! Thats how Id describe Jim. We had a difficult house to sell, and his connections with the right rehab experts made all the difference in getting the house ready to sell. He continuously advised us on what the best strategy as far as pricing and marketing were as we went through the process. Throughout all of this. Jim was professional, ethical and friendly. He was with us every step of the way. I consider him a friend after our work on this together. I recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home in the Mt. Prospect area.
We are repeat customers. This time selling the condo my mother lived in. He had very good advice for us...do we do renovations or not. He said not, which made it much easier and had multiple offers in a week and closed in several weeks.
I was challenged with clearing, listing, and selling my parent's home of 68 years in Mount Prospect recently. Jim brought his expertise, warm manner, charisma, and consummate professionalism to the table to help me through the process. He even brought the buyers to the table, who made a full ask offer prior to us listing the property, making for an extremely simple and straightforward transaction. He knows everything....even where to get rid of my dad's remote control airplane fuel. Jim is very resourceful and has a stable of resources to tap into to make your experience smooth as silk. I would have no problem recommending "Mr. Mt. Prospect" to any of my contacts in the NW suburbs.
Jim represents all the attributes you expect from a great realtor. First and formost Jim is a professional and unparelled in understanding the the avaialbility of homes in both Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights. Jim is all aspects a communicator and the perfect partner to rely on finding a home. Jim interviewed us to understand our needs and presenting homes that met our expectations in the Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights area. Jim's diligence and persevarance found us our new home in Arlington Heights that met our expectations.
Jim was recommended to me and my husband by a friend, and we couldn't be more satisfied with our experience. During the height of the housing market bubble, we presented Jim with a tall wishlist and were worried about the likelihood of finding something we loved before our wedding date. Jim was always responsive, patient, and knowledgeable with each property we saw. He understood the ins and the outs of the area, the process and ultimately expertly guided us through negotiations that landed us in our first home before our wedding date! We recommend Jim whole-heartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell property.
Jim helped me to not only purchase my condo 10 years ago, he was my first call when I was ready to sell. He found some great comparable properties and helped to show the value in my home.
Jim did a fantastic job in assisting the family in marketing and selling a condo in Mt Prospect. He has excellent local knowledge, provided sound advice and guidance, and brought everything to a successful conclusion.Great job!
Jim is very knowledgeable and professional. He put our property on the list in two day after initial contact and we got full price offer in 3 hours. We got an above list price offer in few days. During the closing period, we had minor hiccups due to buyers loan processing. Jim keeps working with other lender while we had back up offer. We feel we are in good hand. Eventually everything worked out as planned. Thanks to Jim for his hard work and expertise.
Jim is a professional with years of experience in real estate. My house sale listed with Jim went very smoothly and as a paralegal with 14 years of real estate transaction experience I know very well that quite often is not the case. He stays on top of things, contacts every realtor after they show your house and returns your texts, e-mails and phone calls timely too. He knows what to do to get the job done.
Our experience working with Jim to sell our home was quite lovely. As new home sellers, he put us at ease with the process and was very patient in addressing any questions or concerns we had. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home.
Jim is friendly and very knowledgeable. He know what it takes to sell a house, and gets the job done! He offers helpful suggestions on how to prepare the house to sell and listing the home. We had offers within a week! He is excellent and would highly recommend his services.
This was first time to sell a house and Jim was great. He answered all my questions and concerns no matter what time I would call him. He helped me in every way. I could not have asked for a better agent,he worked hard at getting me a good price. Jim also explained everything in a way I could understand.
We have worked with Jim twice, once as a seller and once as a buyer. Both experiences were excellent. One of Jims greatest strengths are his communication skills. You never feel like you dont know whats going on when you work with Jim. He is attentive, responsive, and he clearly explains your options. Jim is very proactive. We enthusiastically recommend that you hire Jim to help you sell your current home or hire Jim to help you find the home of your dreams. You wont be disappointed. Barbara Waddington & Marilyn Kossmann
I could not have asked for a better experience. As it was our first-time selling a house, and all the nervousness and unsure that goes along with it. Everything seems to always go smooth and seamless while in Jim's hands. Always professional, responsive, incredible understanding of the market and area. I would most definitely say he did a fantastic job, and will use him again in the future.
Jim was great. We included the house in the aEURoecoming soonaEUR? pre-listing. Then during the first three days the house was listed we had two offers, one for full price. We accepted the first offer and closed the next month. Jim knew the Mt. Prospect market and helped us price the house perfectly to sell.
Jim is absolutely wonderful. We had this home on the market for 8 months with another realtor and never received an offer. We noticed Jim's name in the neighborhood, and the houses he listed SOLD! We decided to change realtors and go with Jim. The first thing he did was give suggestions on how to make the house more "sellable" like fresh paint and new carpet. He told us if we followed his recommendations that he could sell it in 3 - 4 months. We did, and within 3 months we had an offer and ended up closing on the property in less than 4 months. It was the best feeling to see the SOLD sign on this house. We are so grateful to have met Jim. He is an expert in the industry and can get the job done! Thank you, Jim. We appreciate all you have done.

Jim Regan, aEURoeMr. Mount ProspectaEUR? helped us sell our home in Mount Prospect in Fall 2019. Jim did a great job! He was professional and friendly. He definitely did his research when helping us to determine the appropriate selling price as our house sold for 99% of asking price. The quality of the photos of our home was excellent. The sales package he put together was very nice (good quality pictures and nice descriptions printed on heavier stock paper). Jim is a great communicator aEUR" we could reach him by phone, email and text. We had multiple offers and when the first offer fell through, Jim actively pursued our backup offers and within hours we were under contract again. We sold our house within 50 days of putting it on the market! We would recommend Jim to all our friends and family.

I've known Jim for nine years as he helped my wife and I buy our first home in Mount Prospect. Most recently, he guided us as we sold our house and purchased a new one at the same time. Jim is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in the Northwestern suburbs and he made himself extremely available to us during this stressful time in our lives. He took on all of our questions no matter how big or small and followed through on all of our requests in an expeditious manner.Besides being a great agent, he's a pleasant person to work with. I would recommend him as an agent to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Jim was great to work with. Most important to me was that Jim was on top of things though out the process. We had a few set backs during the buying process that he navigated expertly. When it came time to sell our house, his local knowledge was key.
First, one of the nicest people we've ever met. His knowledge of Mt. Prospect, the housing market and the buying/selling process is quite formidable. He has an extensive collection of resources for all the bumps in the road. And a great sense of humor, not a small thing, that helped us get through one of the most stressful periods of our life with our sanity intact. We put our house on the market on March 9th, accepted an offer on March 11th and closed on April 10th. He was right, there was a good chance someone would like our house as much as we had! Smiles all around. Thank you, Jim. It was a privilege to meet you and to work with you.
This was my first time selling aHome. Jim spent a lot of time answering all my questions and walking me thru the entire process. He was very knowledgeable about the Mt Prospect market and I would highly recommend him
This is our second home deal we have utilized Jim Regan as our realtor. He is always professional, and provides valuable insights as to what is happening within the process. I fully recommend utilizing him to buy or sell your next home!
Jim was the best. He advised me how to get the condo ready for sale and got me through the often tedious nature of a short sale. I recommend Jim highly.
Well, I've sold 4 homes since the year 2000 with the latest in June 2018. I have to say Jim Regan is by far the best agent I've worked with. He brought in a professional stager who made recommendations. I had to do some work reorganizing home and spend a few bucks on decorations, artwork and simple landscaping. They were right on with what people were looking for! The home went up for sale and we had 6 showings the first day and an offer in 24 hours! It sold in one week. The agent feedback was excellent in terms of home presentation. Jim knows the market and what it takes to sell. His verbal and written communication skills are excellent. And last but not least, he is just a wonderful guy to work with! Very nice man. I would highly recommend him!Sincerely,Mike Moretti
Jim is very professional and responsive. He has a group of excellent contractors to help prepare the home for sale. They were less expensive than the contractors we were able for find. We live out of town and Jim was very helpful in coordinating with others regarding any needed appointments and in inspecting any work that was done. When we received an offer on the house, Jim was again very helpful in quickly addressing the prospective buyer's concerns so that closing could take place in a timely manner.
We were very pleased with selecting Jim as our realtor. He advised us on staging our house, correctly timed the market, and priced it perfectly. Our house sold in three days! Jim's professionalism and knowledge is outstanding. He was present and helpful throughout the process and close. He took excellent care of us answering all our questions and concerns. We are so happy to have chosen Jim as our realtor. Thanks, Jim.
Jim was awesome. He took the time to explain the process and what to expect. Always available to answer questions and concerns. After 46 years, Jim is at the top of his game. He has found the best people to work with him and like all pro's, they make it look easy. Highly recommended!
Jim is a true seasoned professional. His years of knowledge was invaluable as this was our first time selling our home. He guided us through the entire process, making wise decisions, bringing in other professionals to help us update, stage and show our home of 33 years. Jim was timely, cooprative and caring. His negotiating skills are second to none. We would have no reservations recommending Jim to others and using him again if we decided to sell again.
They call him Mr. Mt Prospect for a reason! If you live in the area and want your house sold, Jim will bend over backwards to get it done. If you're wanting to move to the area, why would you choose anyone else? He knows the area better than anyone, and knows all the best deals. We sold and bought through him, and we will again next time!
Jim was so accommodating and helpful in trying to sell my home quickly. He was often in contact and actively worked to negotiate a fair deal. I would highly recommend him for his knowledge of the industry and area, as well as for his friendly, calm demeanor.
Jim Regan is very personable and pleasant to work with. Jim takes the time to listen to your concerns about preparing the house for showings, listens to your feelings about selling, especially if you have lived in your home for many, many years, and Jim knows the market and will work with you to price your house competitively so that it sells quickly. Jim is excellent about returning calls, e-mails and/or texts in a very timely manner.
Jim made the whole selling process much easier than anticipated by presenting numerous options regarding the preparation and presentation of our townhouse. His unique background allowed him to focus in on what and how to make a quick sale at the best price for us. He was outstanding in his support during the negotiation period. He is simply the best.
I highly recommend Jim Regan. Jim is thoroughly professional and courteous. He showed my unit, and within one week, I had 2 offers on my condominium. He ensured that my unit sold for top dollar.
I would call realtors on houses I would see advertised for sale some 25 years ago and ended up speaking with Jim a few times. He struck me as an honest, did not pressure and had a lot of knowledge on the surrounding areas. We ended using him as our realtor then with finding our home as well as selling the home we owned at that time. Now 25 years later and we look to retirement I was so happy to see that he is still doing real estate. Helped us sell our home quickly and gave vital tips on updating home for sale. We even had our daughter use him 5 years back when she bought her first home.
Jim was a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable of the area and was very upfront and had good advice about the sales process. He helped make a big process go as smoothly as possible. I'd gladly work with Jim again
My wife and I have lived in Mt. Prospect for decades and, early on, we became familiar with Jim Regan and his real estate services. So when we decided to sell and move, we called upon Jim and a few other real estate agents with whom we were familiar. We picked Jim as our selling agent and we are glad we did. Jim reviewed with us what would happen and what we could expect and was there for us whenever anything came up. Clearly Jim was experienced and very knowledgeable about the Mt. Prospect market, and it paid off for us. We had a buyer within a few weeks of listing with Jim and sold at a great price. Without hesitation, we recommend Jim Regan.
I wanted to buy a condo in Mount Prospect, and who could be the best to help if not Jim. Hi works and lives in Mount Prospect and he knows not the only area, but every condominium with their specifics.Jim truly is an expert in real estate, he answers all questions related the entire process buying the properties. Jim consistently and carefully walks the buyer through all steps to final closing. Also, and it should be said, Jim is very intelligent and very, very patient.
Jim truly is Mr. Mt Prospect -- although I ultimately was not able to find a home in Mt Prospect, he found one for me that was very, very close and had the features I needed. Also, just a really nice guy and all around good human. He really knows the area!
Jim was great. This was my first ourchade and I had to ask the same questions several times and even questions that were not necessarily related to Jim responsibilities and he helped with all at all times day/night with my work schedule.
Initially we were not sure if we were ready for buying a house. When I send him an email he got back to me in a second. Then we started visiting several houses and he tried so hard to find the right one for us. He has a marvelous local knowledge. He is hones too so we could trust him and his recommendations.
Jim finessed 2 difficult transactions, 10 years apart, for me and found me renters for my property in between! To start with I was living out of state and wanted to come to the area to live near my aging parents. With his help I purchased a town home and made the move. When I left the area 6 years later I wasn't ready to sell and he helped me rent it two times with very reliable renters who he vetted. Recently I was ready to sell and he helped me to figure out rehab and to eventually get 'er sold. I was living 1,000 miles away at this point! Jim went out of his way countless times as I went through the selling process, from going over to check on the heating, to turning on lights for showings, to picking out colors and lighting fixtures to make the place show well. He did so with a steady and trustworthy attitude and always kept me up to date on what was going on. I never would have been able to handle owning or selling a property while living so far away without Jim. Jim went way above what I would expect from a realtor. I can't say enough about the peace of mind he gave me through this process. He engenders utter confidence. He knows his business and has incredible people skills. You cannot do better!
