  • Mark and Faith Foley
    Wrigleyville

    Faith and I really enjoyed our home buying experience with Dream Town and Kara. This was our first purchase, and naturally we had a lot of questions... Kara's helpfulness, patience, understanding, and calm demeanor are her strong suits and they showed throughout the entire process; we felt in extremely competent and collaborative hands from the beginning search through the closing. I recommend Kara to anyone I know who is looking to buy in any price range and would put a gold star next to her name as an agent for first-time buyers. Her knowledge of the Chicago market housing stock gave us a head-to-toe look at the best the city has to offer.

  • Estelle
    West Loop

    Being a first time homebuyer, I wasn't sure what to expect. I tried to look at homes on my own without an agent, but that became overwhelming. I found Dream Town and Kara Finnegan through the internet. I wasn't sure what kind of service to expect from an agency I found on the internet, but I decided to give it a shot and registered. Right away Kara got back to me with multiple listings that fit my criteria. When I met her face to face, I realized she was knowledgeable, honest and would be a great asset to me. She told me what to expect, and was there every step of the way. She answered questions promptly, and she is the type of person you wouldn't hesitate to contact if an issue arose. Kara is a great asset to Dream Town, and a great asset to you as a homebuyer.

  • Michael Sexton
    Albany Park

    My experience with Dream Town went above and beyond what I expected by far. Kara was the best real estate agent I ever dreamed of dealing with. Having our first property fall through before the closing, my wife and I needed to find a condominium in less than 3 weeks. Kara worked night and day for us as if she were a close friend. I got off of work at 5pm and would not view any properties until 6pm every evening. Kara showed us at least 3 to 4 places a night for 2 1/2 weeks until we found the right one. Sometimes showing us places until 9:30pm. Kara is a true friend. I highly, I repeat, I HIGHLY recommend anyone to call Kara. Thank you very much for everything Kara.

  • Kate and Brian Hahn
    South Loop

    From the very first interaction with Kara and Dream Town, the experience was outstanding. She listened and supplied us with leads on properties that fit our taste and budget. Kara's patience and knowledge shined whether it be showing us 16 places in one day or guiding us through the sometimes confusing steps of the closing process. Our new home is amazing! We will be sure to refer our friends and family to Kara and Dream Town.

  • James and Anna Penlington
    Humboldt Park

    Kara was excellent throughout the whole stressful buying process and we highly recommend her to any potential buyers and sellers. Using Kara and her recommended inspector and attorney will alleviate a lot of the stress in the buying process and guarantee you high quality, independent and impartial service. The inspector she recommended was amazing because he was telling the contractor what repairs needed to be done before we would close. It was fun to watch!
    Throughout the whole process Kara was the only person on our side representing us, and she got the developer to pay for our closing costs. We trust Kara and think of her as a friend. How many purchasers can ever say that? James and Anna Penlington, Humboldt Park
