ZillowVERIFIEDMarcin helped us to buy our first house. We were not very knowledgeable about the entire process and he was very helpful in explaining clearly all the steps and giving us good information on the market. Some of the things we appreciated the most with him were 1) Not only he knows about the Chicago land market but he's also very knowledgeable in construction (due to his background in that field) so he would always point out things during our visits that my spouse and I had no idea about 2) We never felt pressured to buy anything. He was really understanding of our needs and not a pushy agent. We truly felt that he had our best interest in mind vs just "closing the deal" 3) He was really approachable and easy to work with

ZillowVERIFIED Its hard to even know where to start with Marcin. He helped us find a house in the exact neighborhood we wanted, got our old house sold quickly, and then somehow kept going and helped us find a great tenant for the first-floor unit in our new home. Through all of it, Marcin was always there. He was honest with us, incredibly patient, and we always felt like he was looking out for our family rather than just trying to get a deal done. You spend a lot of time with someone when youre buying and selling, and somewhere along the way Marcin stopped feeling like our realtor and started feeling like family. We really cant say enough good things about him. If youre looking for someone you can trust and genuinely want in your corner, call Marcin. We wouldnt use anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin helped our dream come true to become first-time homebuyers. He stuck patiently with us while we navigated low housing stock for a year and a half. At last we found our dream home in our dream location--and thanks to Marcin's tips we purchased it below asking price!

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience with Marcin in the sale of our home and in looking to purchase a home. He is extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in home construction and the real estate market. He gives honest advice and feedback and truly tries to understand and respect his clients needs. Marcin is a pleasure to work with. He goes above and beyond for his clients. I have already recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so.

ZillowVERIFIED Two years ago, Marcin spent a lot of time showing me different properties that I've picked out through Zillow and MLS, and other properties he thought I might like. He helped me get a good feel for what I wanted. Life got in the way, and I couldn't purchase anything. It was a good experience, though.Earlier this year, I worked with Marcin again. We started out looking at some properties across a few different neighborhoods. I had a handful in mind, and Marcin also came up with a few. Marcin and Kathy ended up finding the winning home in the search. Of all the different residences we looked at, Marcin was always patient and candid about everything. He was able to tell me about the drawbacks of certain types of materials and how difficult upkeep would be for different things. My dream has been to install a wet bar, and he would look at where we could tap the nearest water line and how difficult it would be to route through or around the building materials in place. After finding the home we wanted, it went under contract that same day.Marcin and Kathy offered to create flyers for the homes in the area to spur any would-be sellers into action for us. I thought it was the most marvelous thing that anybody could do. They actually found a residence a few doors down that was going to be put up for sale soon, and got us in there on Day 1 to take a look. Being first time home buyers, my wife and I had or hands held by Marcin and Kathy helping us along. They had recommendations of people to work with who ended up beating out the competition I was looking at. They helped keep us informed of the chaotic process that is home buying.I would absolutely recommend Marcin and Kathy to anyone looking to purchase a home. I plan on working with them if I ever move again. They are exceptional people who helped us take a step forward in life.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin was very helpful and patient with us throughout our search for a townhouse. It a year to find the right one for us and he helped us by showing many different houses and giving his insights into them. In the end we found a townhouse that we liked very much and he helped us throughout the purchasing process. We bought the townhouse but will be waiting a year until we move into it and will be renting it in the meantime, with which he also helped us. He found potential renters very quickly and we are now renting this property happily. Overall Marcin was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of searching and renting the townhouse and we are very happy with our purchase.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin is an extremely patient and experienced realtor. He helped us find our dream condo in the south loop! He helped us negotiate an excellent deal, assisted us in finding a real estate attorney, and was with us every step of the way which was much appreciated because we were first time buyers. He gave us confidence and support in our decisions, and provided critical advice on location, building quality, etc.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin is a knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor. He listened to our needs and found properties that we hadn't known existed. During our searches he openly pointed out flaws, as well as the complexity of repairs. He was patient and continued to assist us until we found a property we were comfortable with. We will definitely be coming back to him in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin Talaga was very pleasant and responsive when helping us sell our previous home and purchase our new home. His expertise was very useful and it made the entire process a pleasure. He was very insightful when it came to schools, stores, and other perks in the areas that we were looking for homes. He was able to negotiate very well. He made sure both parties came to a mutual agreement and followed through until the entire process was complete. I would definitely recommend Marcin if you are looking to buy or sell property.

Review for Member: Marcin Talaga
ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I were first time home buyers and we were referred to Marcin from a friend who had worked with him before and we couldn't have been happier. Marcin and his sister Kathy were very helpful from the very start, they set up a profile for us where we could interface with all of the major online postings as well as some that were not yet posted and from there set up showings for us. The first showings were the morning after we had received 8 inches of snow but Marcin and Kathy were prompt and Kathy even offered to grab us coffee on her way over which was very nice to have on such a cold day. Marcin's eye for remodels and the potential for a house was very reassuring, at our price point there wasn't going to be a perfect house but he helped us see the potential and pitfalls of every house we saw.Once we found our home their knowledge and responsiveness on the process was extremely helpful as we knew nothing, we had a group text chain and they were there for every question we had throughout the process. We had a major hiccup in the underwriting process and we really leaned on Marcin's experience with past deals to talk us down and help us remain calm as we were worried the deal was going to fall through entirely. He worked with other contacts within his network and we were able to move forward with virtually no disruption but for some administrative items on our end.After all was said and done we had our final walk through and closed. Our relationship could have stopped there but they provided us a nice neighborhood guide to help us orient ourselves with the new area as well as a welcome home basket which was a very nice personal touch.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin was beyond helpful in the process of buying the home of our dreams. Not only did we find exactly what we were looking for and were able to negotiate a reasonable price with Marcin's knowledge. After the fact, we did some remodeling and Marcin was more than helpful to give suggestions and the plethora of contacts he knew in the field of construction. Highly recommend!! Ania & Mike

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin helped us find our first house. We started the process unsure of the location and type of home we wanted. Marcin showed us a lot of different properties to help us figure out what we were really looking for. We definitely liked not feeling pressured to settle on something that wasn't right for us. He made himself available around our schedules and responded promptly to emails and calls. We will definitely contact him in the future when we out grow our current home.

ZillowVERIFIED My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers at the time - Marcin was absolutely wonderful and walked us through the whole process step-by-step, always explaining everything to us thoroughly. He's pretty much the complete package when it comes to real estate agents. He's remodeled his fair share of houses, so he could tell us exactly what it would cost to fix something or remodel it. He's also very honest when it comes to seeing a house - he'll tell you the good things AND the very bad things, so you know he's not just trying to get a sale. We probably saw at least 50+ houses before we finally settled on 'the one' and Marcin was very patient with us through everything. Most importantly, we got a great deal on our house! Whenever the time comes for us to look for another house, Marcin will be the first person we call!

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin was A GREAT pleasure to work with! He got me A offer right off the start. We did have A few deals fall through, Only because I had tenants that were not moving out! Each and every time Marcin relisted we got A offer that same day. Marcin would call or text me almost daily to keep me up to date on the progress, (As for I did not live in the city in which the sale was)I would highly recommend Marcin and use him again...The only regret I have is not meeting Marcin in person to thank him personally...

ZillowVERIFIED Just a pleasant experience that I had with Marcin. He was extremely patient when we were buying our first home. He went over our expectations of what a real estate agent should do. He helped us find our dream home from getting to know us and what exactly we were looking for. We saw numerous properties and it took some time before we found the one we loved, but Marcin made that journey exciting and memorable.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin helped us buy our first home and I would totally recommend him.It took us quite a while to find our perfect house - lesser agents would have given up on us - but Marcin was extremely patient, honest and insightful. He consistently provided us with good recommendations, he was very flexible with his time, he listened to what we wanted in a house and finally helped us find our dream home. He also knows a lot about quality construction so you get an added benefit of someone who can tell you a lot about the state of the house.We feel like we got a great deal on our house as well - Marcin helped us negotiate a very fair price. He also has a very good network of home inspectors, lawyers, basically anyone you'll need to get through the process painlessly.

ZillowVERIFIED Marcin is truly a joy to work with! We are in the process of buying our 2nd property from him and couldn't be more appreciative of his patience and most of all his honesty. We have worked with realtors in the past who are rude, or pushy and he is not like that. In fact he always tells us everything he knows (and has found out) about the property, not only the good but even the bad. Hes not afraid to ask the sellers agent difficult questions about things he notices that you the buyer in all your excitement might fail to notice (leaks, smells ect). It's actually reassuring to know you have someone on your side!
