Mario has been amazing to work with. We have been searching for a home for quite sometime. He was patient, insightful, and all around a great partner through this process. He guided us through our journey to find our new home. Mario is very knowledgeable about this process and taught us a lot. He wasnt just trying to make a sale, his goal was to make sure we were satisfied and feeling great about our decision. We are pleased with our decision and blessed to have Mario as a part of that. He was referred to us, and we recommend him for anyone searching for a home!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mario to sell my home, and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Mario was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. He brought excellent resources to the table that made the process smooth and stress-free. His expertise and guidance gave me confidence every step of the way, and he always had my best interests at heart. I truly cannot imagine working with a better person. Thanks to Mario, selling my home was not just successful but also a genuinely positive experience. I would highly recommend Mario to anyone looking to buy or sell their homeaEUR"youll be in the best hands!

Mario knew I was not quite ready to make a move, but he checked in to notify me of a program I qualified for and was not aware of. This ended up being the perfect opportunity for me. Throughout the process, he was very helpful, responsive, and had a great relationship with the Agent on the other side of the transaction, This really helped us secure a great deal. I am very grateful for his support and professionalism. I highly recommend calling Mario if you want a straight shooter who actually provides value.

Since I decided to sell our large family home of 23 years in Norwood Park I knew I needed an expert Realtor to assist in the process. What I was looking for in a Realtor was one that knows the market, I mean really knows the market!! I found him, Mario Bongiorno. This guy is a pro. No fluff, just tells you like it is and really understands the Chicago market. He was able to get me top dollar for the sale of my home. In addition, the new buyers got a gorgeous English Tudor. Mario listed, sold (with multiple offers) and had my home closed within 3 weeks! Almost unheard of. His firm was equally experienced and we didn't even have one hiccup along the way. If you are selling or buying a home in Chicago you should consider hiring Mario because he is unparalleled the most knowledgeable, straight shooter and honest realtor that I have ever worked with. I sold and bought many homes in Chicago over the years and no other realtor came close to the hard work and effort that Mario put into the sale of my lovely home. This guy is the real deal.

We are beyond grateful to Nicole for her incredible dedication and expertise throughout our real estate journey. When we found our dream home in a highly competitive market, she didnt just submit an offeraEUR"she crafted a strategic, creative contract that stood out from the rest. Thanks to her insight and expertise, we won the home we had our hearts set on! And when it came time to sell our condo, Nicole proved her expertise once again. She reassured us from the start that we would no doubt get more than asking priceaEUR"and she delivered! There were so many offers it was hard to keep track of, including multiple cash bids! Nicoles negotiation skills, market knowledge, and confidence led to an above-asking price sale that left us absolutely thrilled. Her responsiveness and commitment made both buying and selling feel seamless. If you're looking for an agent who truly fights for their clients, understands the market inside and out, and makes the process smooth and enjoyable, look no further than Nicole Hajdu!
