Although we weren't exactly sure what our "dream" property was, we knew we wanted to get started in Chicago buying something together. Elizabeth helped us on our journey and was flexible with us as our ideas changed. She listened to us carefully and her great attitude and professionalism made her a pleasure to work with. After just a short time looking, we found a fantastic apartment that really suited us -- in fact we liked it so much we bought another one in the same building! We have two remarkable units in the heart of Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. Thank you Elizabeth Amidon, and Dream Town, for helping us begin an exciting future!

Elizabeth's knowledge of the Lakeview/Roscoe Village area along with her understanding of exactly what we were looking - made our first home buying experience an outstanding one. As first time homebuyers, we weren't sure what to expect, but Elizabeth showed patience and guidance through the entire process. She was able to work around our schedules and only showed us places that met our needs and our budget. We really love our new place and we'll definitely work with Elizabeth again.

Elizabeth makes you feel like you are her sole priority. Despite her busy schedule, she's incredibly good at always being available and yet when she's showing you places, you never see her step away to talk to another client-we don't know how she does it. She was very professional in her manner of presenting properties, always making it a point to directly ask about all the pertinent information surrounding the property, e. g. special assessments, and when it came to our closing day, there were no surprises. In addition, my husband and I never felt pressured - we looked at each place calmly with Elizabeth there to either answer any questions that came to mind or to take them down to get answers. She gave just the right amount of guidance we first time home-buyers needed and we can't thank her enough for getting us into our first home!

Over the course of several months during my search and successful property purchase I have worked with and got to know Elizabeth Amidon. During this time she has walked me through the mine field of buying a property in the US, as being from the UK where it is a very different process she has taken me through and explained how things are done in the US to aid both my understanding and to accustom me with the full aspects of what to look for in a property and the purchase process. Elizabeth explained very early on how things worked in the US with regard to what realtors do, and over the weekends we spent viewing properties, where she setup and assisted in my selection/viewing of properties, she got to know my tastes and what I was looking for, and this greatly helped me in removing those that would have been time wasters. We discussed many of the pros and cons for the kind of property I was looking for as we viewed properties and even when we found a property that I was clearly interested in and put an offer on she gave me sound advice on how to proceed and only a last minute bid from another buyer and the realization for what the property was worth stopped me from completing the sale. We continued on over the following few months, broken up by my business trips and holidays, then one weekend Elizabeth prepared some properties for me to view along with a couple I have requested, and as the day went on I found almost every property better than the previous and was definitely interested in each one that I saw, something that had never happened during any of the previous weekends viewings. We quickly arranged second viewings for 3 of the properties (I had a hard time setting the bar for which 3 I wanted to short-list) that I was interested in and she knew exactly which one I would say 'yes' to. During my actual purchase Elizabeth has been the main stay of explaining and orchestrating the various players to get both the necessary paperwork completed and following up with all concerned to ensure we kept on track when it seemed at times that no one else did. I would recommend her for a medal for putting up with me during this time as I asked for explanations and status updates from all concerned.

We had the pleasure of working with the absolute best realtor at Dream Town Realty, Elizabeth Amidon. Elizabeth worked diligently to help us find the perfect home. She was always pleasant, reliable and genuine. She was also determined that we would find an amazing condo in a great location that was within our price range. We truly enjoyed working with her because she always had our best interest at heart. We had a wonderful home buying experience with Dream Town Realty because of Elizabeth Amidon.

I wanted to thank you for the great job you did in making my move to Chicago extremely smooth. I decided to move from Michigan to Chicago because I love the city. However, I didn't know anyone in the city, or have an in depth knowledge of the neighborhoods. I appreciated your willingness to work with me, even when I thought I was "just looking", since I had to sell my house in Michigan before I was ready to make the move. As it turned out, my house sold right away and I needed to find a place quickly. Thanks to your help with doing all of the research, as well as the arrangements with the attorney, inspector, paper work etc. , I was able to take care of most of the details from Michigan. I am now settling in my Gold Coast condo and loving it. I am amazed just thinking that all this happened in 2 months! I couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you.

I can't imagine trying to navigate the real estate market without having had Elizabeth by my side. As a first-time buyer, I was relatively ignorant of what finding and purchasing a property would entail, but Elizabeth was endlessly patient in explaining (and sometimes re-explaining!) every step of the process. Her knowledge of the market was impressive, and I felt absolutely secure in having her represent me. What's more, Elizabeth was constantly available, seemingly 24 hours a day -- she responded to e-mails almost immediately, even on the weekends. I've even had a few questions about homeowning after purchasing and moving into my new property, and Elizabeth is still, even now, ready to promptly answer them. I've enthusiastically recommended her to many of my friends who are preparing to buy a home in Chicago, and I can write now, with confidence, that Elizabeth is a professional, intelligent, friendly agent with whom it was an absolute pleasure for me to work. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Finding a home is both exciting and exhausting! We relocated to Chicago with the intentions of purchasing our first home. Before making it back into Illinois, we began working with Elizabeth to find the perfect place. Elizabeth was professional, thorough and extremely patient. She worked hard to help us. We were pickier than we anticipated and saw a lot of homes. Elizabeth didn't even bat an eye. Now we are putting the finishing touches on our brand new home and couldn't have done it without Elizabeth's help. We would absolutely work with Elizabeth again.

Cheerful, witty, warmhearted, affectionate, and loving: That is what I can say about Elizabeth in one short sentence. My first impression of her was that I felt entirely secure. She is the one who says the truth about the property no matter what. She is honest and she has a keen sense of what the client is looking for. Working with her was a great pleasure. Calm, sensitive and direct about work, Elizabeth is the kind of person you want to have as your agent. You can entirely rely on her and you can be sure that you will have a good deal with an immense sense of satisfaction.
