Ken did an absolutely amazing job. Totally professional yet was always incredibly responsive. It was a very difficult sale that involved post closing possession, bankruptcy issues and a less than perfect house. I received significantly more money than expected and would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking for the best of the best real estate agent.

We had the pleasure of working with Ken Thomson as our realtor for the sale of our investment property, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Ken was always available to answer our questions, providing timely and insightful responses that eased any concerns we had. His expertise in pricing and strategizing the sale was evident from the start. Ken guided us through a competitive market with multiple offers, educating us on how to choose the best one. Thanks to his advice, we navigated what could have been a very rough closing process smoothly and efficiently. Ken's dedication and professionalism made the entire process stress-free, and we are grateful for his support. We will definitely refer him to our friends and family and look forward to hiring him for our future purchases. Thank you, Ken, for your outstanding service!

Ken has once again proven to be thee realtor agent to use in the Plainfield area. This is the 3rd time we have used Kens help buying and selling a home and every time he has made the experience a smooth and seamless transaction. We first used Ken to buy our first home in Plainfield back in 2010. Then used his expertise again in 2016 to sell and buy our second Plainfield home and here we are agin using his skills and knowledge to get a monster deal on selling of our house again. Thanks to Kens marketing of our house the way he did to secure that mega deal, we are in the process of building a new dream home with Kens assistance. When we think buying and selling or building a home there is no one we trust more to get the biggest dollar or best deal for a home other than Ken.

Ken Thomson did an excellent job in selling our Plainfield, Illinois house! Ken guided us in the presentation of our house to prospective buyers. He was responsive to our every request. Things were done promptly and questions were answered in a matter of minutes. Never a need for a reminder or follow up. Ken had great knowledge of our location and knew every aspect of our model of house. Ken negotiated an offer that was well beyond what we had expected. He efficiently handled all the paperwork and connected us with all the necessary partners (lawyer, etc.) to complete the sale in less than 3 weeks. In every respect, Ken is a realtor that exemplifies the best practices in the industry!
