My wife and I hired Mason as our real estate agent several years back when looking to purchase a condo in Chicago. Throughout the entire buying process, Mason was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and detail-oriented, as well as being a personable, outgoing guy. From his explanation of the buying process to the snacks he provided us during our condo visits, the entire process with Mason was professional, smooth and fun. I'd highly recommend Mason to anyone looking for a real estate agent with the unique blend of integrity, professionalism, knowledge and personality.

Mason does a great job of walking you through the entire process and making sure each decision is your own. I came to him with a LOT of questions and he always answered each one effectively and in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend him as a helpful, reliable REALTOR.

From the moment I met Mason Barnes, it was apparent how well versed and aware he is in the real estate world. With his innate personality, enthusiasm and communication skills to his infectious tenacity for his career, his capacity to work with his clients is immeasurable. Mason is effective, listening to his clients wants and needs. Delivering both expectations is no easy feat, however Mason does this in a manner that makes working as a realtor seem effortless and easy. He has helped me with my interest in purchasing Chicago real estate and taught me the guidelines and rules that go along with the ever-changing market. I always know I can come to him with questions and get the best possible information and advice

Mason is fantastic. He works extremely hard to answer all of your questions and help you every step of the way. He will also bend over backwards to accommodate viewings, open houses, phone calls, whatever it is you need. Mason will never push you into anything you don't feel comfortable with and he has tremendous patience. You won't ever feel like your importance to him as a client is based on the amount of money you are planning on spending. He is very genuine and makes you feel confident about making a very big decision

My Husband and I were referred to Mason by a good friend. We were buying our first home together, so it was important for us to have a smooth experience with a trustworthy REALTOR. The whole process from the MLS search, to the home inspection, to the closing was almost effortless. We recommend Mason to all of our friends who are considering buying or selling property in Chicago. Mason is reliable, flexible, professional, and he is always respectful of his client's preferences. Mason is just delightful

Mason made sure to always keep me in the loop. He also was excellent at explaining the home buying process as I was a first time buyer!

I feel that there isn't enough positive feedback in the world, so I wanted to
reach out to tell you what a pleasure it was to recently work with Mason Barnes to
purchase our new condo. While I am not an aggressive client, I'm certainly not
low-maintenance. As soon as we got the mortgage approval, I was hoping to move
quickly to get into a new place. However, we felt like we needed to thoroughly vet
all possibilities with so many great values on the market. Though we could sense
what we wanted, it wasn't very specific to one type of property or neighborhood, so
I thought it would be difficult to convey our wants to Mason. It wasn't difficult
at all. Not only did Mason set us up to see about thirty or more properties (at my
request), but he was also immeasurably helpful in showing us the difference in
quality and value between each property. By the second week, we had a clear
front-runner, but we still needed the reassurance that there wasn't
"something better" sitting on the market. This created some anxiety, as we wanted
to see as many properties as possible while hoping that our top choice would not go
under contract. Mason took a lot of time out of his schedule to take us to see
properties after work, as well as full days on the weekend, so that we could see as
many on our list in as short time as possible. Everything managed to work out
perfectly, and we ended up buying the front-runner from our second week of viewing
properties. I can't imagine the regret I would have if we missed this condo. This
is my second property purchase in Chicago. For my first go-around, I used a realtor
at Coldwell Banker that was randomly assigned to me through an inquiry that I
made to the website. Through that process, I thought my realtor did a pretty good
job. He sent me MLS listings, setup a few appointments, and walked me through my
first real estate purchase. However, I never felt 100% sure that I was making the
right decision. After working with Mason, I realize that I didn't have a very good
realtor for my first purchase. He exceeded any expectations I had of what a
realtor can do for me. It felt like Mason cared about our purchase as much as we
did. Whether it was the small details of pointing out a street light that would
be endlessly glaring from a potential front window, recommending amazing
inspectors and mortgage lenders, or negotiating the purchase price that I
passionately wanted, he did it all. He changed my perception of realtors in
general, and I would highly recommend Dreamtown to any of my friends or family. We
have been living in our new home for over a month, and I still get excited to
come home every day. As cliche as it sounds, he found us the perfect home.
Thank you for employing people who take such great care of their clients. We
couldn't be happier.
Scott Weiss, Lincoln Square
