Santiago was phenomenal. He saw the potential of my brothers property and with your concierge program we were able to get the property ready to sell. We signed the agreement on Friday and he had his contractor in there on the following Tuesday. They got the property ready in two weeks and put it on the market on a Monday. Santiago had 6 showings that first day before noon and more later in the day. We got two offers right away with the strongest one backing off at the end of the week. We finalized the 2nd offer the next Monday. Throughout the remodeling Santiago kept me updated on the progress. We closed 3 weeks and 2 days after the offer. Sold for $10,000 over the listing. Santiago was very professional and personal through the process. Could have not picked a better realtor.
Santiago came to the property to see it himself. Two of the other prospective realtors sent their associates to take photos and the assess its worth. Santiago saw its potential even though it still needed to be cleared of furniture and cleaned up. He always answered texts in timely fashion. His support team also helped in preparing the property for listing.
A coworker who had worked with Elizabeth both in buying and selling referred her to me, and boy--I hit the jackpot. From my first reach-out, Elizabeth kindly offered to meet me in a coffeeshop in my neighborhood to discuss further what I was looking for in my first home.She made me feel heard, supported, and answered all my novice questions without judgement, and two days later when we found the right place for me, she helped me negotiate and quickly get my offer accepted. In the lead-up to closing, she was beside me every step, and even though this was December and right before the holidays, Elizabeth was incredibly generous with her time and quickly responsive. Put your trust in her; she knows her stuff.
I was referred to Elizabeth when I relocated to the Chicago from the suburbs. It was my 1st property purchase and Elizabeth made every effort to make it a great buying experience. She took the time to understand my priorities and answer my questions about the market with her in-depth knowledge. She set up a great online listing filter to find quality properties and was readily available to lock in showings ASAP and discuss the properties after tours. Elizabeth clearly outlined the buying process and facilitated everything from offers to seller agent/attorney communications. All the logistics and paperwork were taken care of immediately to put me in the best buying position possible. I recently purchased a 2nd property with Elizabeth and she provided the same level of service in addition to my more in depth market analysis needs of property values and investment property possibilities. She has never left a question of mine unaddressed and has gone above and beyond in helping me become a successful property owner.
She was so responsive, not pushy, and felt like she had my best interest in mind. She was helpful when I was early on in my search, helping me understand what I should look for and what to expect, and then she was also great when the search got serious and I needed to move quickly on a place that I loved. Would absolutely recommend and use her again if needed!
Elizabeth exceeded all of our expectations for a realtor. She truly was professional and personable. She exhibited a comprehensive knowledge of the real estate market and was always willing to answer our questions as first-time homebuyers. At every single showing, she would point out features that we missed or overlooked. She definitely has a keen eye for properties. With her help and expertise, we were able to purchase a beautiful bungalow in the far northwest side of the city. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house, especially if you're a first-time homebuyer.
I'm so lucky to have met Elizabeth a couple years ago through Zillow. I inquired about a home for sale and was impressed by her responsiveness. I asked her to help me look at some other properties and we put in an offer on one. I ultimately decided not to pursue that property, but knew when I was ready to look again, I'd call Elizabeth because she was so knowledgeable, especially of the Rogers Park area, but also pleasant to work with. So this year she helped me buy a home and sell one and I couldn't be more pleased. In addition to her expertise, she was also a great negotiator on my behalf! I whole-heartedly recommend Elizabeth and Santiago and their excellent team.
Elizabeth began helping my mom and I sell my mother's condo nearly three years prior to the sale. She gave us excellent advice about what exactly was best to prioritize while preparing for the sale. She spontaneously dropped in on my mom one day with a little orchid plant. It just happened to be a fluke snowy day mid April on my mom's birthday, while I was there, visiting. She spent her Sunday running around to other clients in the neighborhood, delivering orchids despite the crazy weather!Much of our interaction took place via emails, as I lived in another state. By the time we were ready to list mom's condo, everything went super smoothly. Santiago and Elizabeth have a team of top notch professionals working for them, down to the photographer. There was an offer for the condo within a day or two of listing it, after one day of showing. They also really love and knew the neighborhood, even tho they themselves were at the time not living there.I can't recommend Elizabeth & Santiago more highly! 10+ stars!
My husband and I met Santiago around 2014 while we were renting a home in Indiana. We decided to move to downtown Chicago to be closer to his work. He was commuting there by train each day for a year. Unfamiliar with homes in the area, we began driving into Chicago looking for homes in communities that we thought would be a great fit. After several trips driving around the city, going to open houses and looking at communities, we felt overwhelmed and had been making no progress in our decision making. One fortunate day, we were in an Open House in Lincoln Park, there we met Santiago Valdez. Although not the home of our choice, Santiago engaged us with his professionalism, courtesy and efficiency. From there on he listened to our needs, sent us listings to help us narrow our search, met with us as we looked until we found just the right home. We now have had the opportunity to work with both Elizabeth and Santiago and used them to sell our home. They assisted us from beginning to end and are deeply grateful to have such professional expertise to help us through the buying and selling process. We highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs.
