What clients say about this agent....
I have worked with Kara twice now; once to buy a home and once to sell a home. She is extremely professional, diligent, honest and has excellent follow through. She?s straight forward and offers solid advice to place your home in the best light. In addition, she listens and makes sure you are comfortable with every step of the process. When I work with Kara I know I am in good hands and don?t have to worry. She will have it covered. That?s very important during what is a major and stressful undertaking. Kara has an abundance of service providers she recommends who can help with everything from painting, junk removal, carpentry etc. She will make it happen even with very short notice. All around, she?s excellent.
I had a great experience having Kara as my realtor. It was the first time I went through the home-buying process completely on my own, and Kara provided guidance every step of the way in a way that I could easily understand. She was great about answering my questions, providing information when I didnt know the right questions to ask, negotiating the deal, and just doing everything she could to make sure the process unfolded smoothly for me. To top it off, she even provided fantastic referrals for an attorney, a home inspector, and an electrician. I wouldnt hesitate for a second working with Kara again on any other home purchase or sale that may come up for me in the future.
A great experience from start to finish - we could not be happier! Our agent, Colleen McAuliffe, demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the local market and provided exceptional service that resulted in securing an offer/contract within hours of the townhome going on the market.
I have nothing but great things to say about Kara and her team since the initial home-buying process to the end, Kara showed a great amount of knowledge in the real estate market. She is very professional, punctual, attentive, and very informative. This journey would not have been as smooth as it was if it would not have been for her great skills and experience. Overall, I can't express enough how thankfull we are for her support in helping us buy our dream home. Thank you, Kara! -From the Contreras Family.
Kara is the best realtor I have worked with. She guides you through the process every step of the way. We first contacted her 9 months before we put our house on the market for advice and she stayed with us until the end.
I felt, Kara was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. Kara is more service than sales. She was focused on answering our questions, and giving us good advice. Kara was patient as we traveled from California to look at homes over several months. She led us through multiple rounds of negotiation to get to a price we were comfortable with. In the end we found a property that was perfect for us and are loving it so far. We would recommend Kara Kennedy O'Connell to anyone.
We worked primarily with Colleen McAuliffe, but also with Kara OConnell when selling our home in LaGrange Park, IL. We could not have been happier - they were extremely responsive, receptive, accommodating, knowledgeable and they provided expert guidance all along the way. Colleen was always available whenever we need her assistance, and we needed her assistance a lot! We highly recommend them to anyone interested in selling or buying a home.
Kara was an incredible asset in our home-buying experience! As is typical in this market, we reached out to her on a very tight timeline and she did everything to accommodate our needs. She was friendly, helpful, and always available for any questions we had as first time home buyers. She walked us through every step of the process with a friendly professionalism that is not always present when you jump into working with strangers! We appreciate Kara's dedication to our journey and for helping us through some slightly challenging/unusual circumstances with the sellers. Kara is the best and we can't recommend her enough!
Kara delivered! My wife and I were first time buyers moving to the Chicago area and we're looking in the West Suburbs. From the first meeting, we felt confident entering into this process as Kara took the time to lay out the entire process, explain the details and answer all of our questions. In this market, it was easy for us to consider homes that had some flaws as inventory was low, but Kara and Colleen kept us grounded and shared their expertise and local knowledge to point out additional details we may have not considered. They were adamant we would find the right home and we're willing to put in extra time to ensure that happened. After viewing homes from La Grange to Geneva (fearing we may be driving Kara crazy with such a wide search), we found a place to call home without ANY hiccups from negotiation to closing. This team will be who we use and recommend moving forward - with confidence. Kara and Colleen, thank you again! We appreciate all you've done in helping us find our first home. Go Flyers!
I can not describe how satisfied we are with Kara and her colleague Colleen. Thanks to them we found our dream home. They were extremely professional and answered all our questions any time of the day. They were always available for showing and went above and beyond to make entire process easier for us.
