Ronnie Hunt
BucktownI cannot recommend Ann Connolly highly enough. From the moment we exchanged our first emails, she demonstrated the highest level of attentiveness and professionalism. She has a deep understanding of the market and the city; she listened to my wants and needs, and gave me honest, thoughtful opinions on the homes we viewed. Because of her, I ended up with a place I absolutely love. The entire home-buying process is stressful, but she did everything possible to help and support me throughout, way above and beyond what a realtor is expected to handle. After closing, she even offered to wait at my loft for my internet & satellite setups so I wouldn't have to take any more time off work. Ann's kindness, integrity and true concern for her clients are just a few of the qualities that make her a wonderful realtor (and an even better person); I consider her a friend. You will not be disappointed in working with her.

West LoopIf you are looking for an agent that is extremely dedicated to making his clients happy, then Ben is the perfect choice. Ben was extremely helpful, and thorough in helping me find my perfect property. In addition he was very patient in making sure that I was happy with my final choice.

Leslie, Ken and Marnie Holz
River WestIt was a pleasure working Erik as our real estate agent. He was very attentive to our likes and dislikes in a unit during the course of the searching process, and made sure to only show us those units that matched those preferences. He was also very eager to show us any properties that we brought to his attention and asked to see. Additionally, Erik was very helpful with asking important questions that we might not have thought to ask. Through the entire process, we felt confident that Erik was acting as an advocate for our best interests. He kept us informed and made sure the closing went as smoothly as possible. All told, Erik is an excellent agent and he made the purchase process as enjoyable as possible.

Pete & Heidi
EvanstonMy husband Pete and I just purchased a house with the help of Moshe. Because the property we were interested in was a foreclosure, we ran across a few problems and it wasn't, by any means, an easy process. But, with Moshe's help, along with his team of professionals, they were able to take care of everything and the closing couldn't have gone any smoother. A huge thank you! We are now settling in, painting, and making it our own. Pete and I couldn't be happier. And, our dog is ecstatic about the yard! Thanks for all your help.

Dr. Nancy Heche
Gold CoastWhen I decided to sell my condominium home of 17 years I wanted to use a friend who knew how much I loved it.
I chose Jennifer South because she is a friend, but I soon came to realize and appreciate her excellent business, financial and negotiating skills. She educated me on the process and then screened prospective buyers so that the first family she brought to my home was the buyer.
I was ready to accept their first offer, but Jennifer suggested that we might be able to negotiate a better deal. She negotiated on my behalf, and I wound up getting more for my home than I'd expected, and the closing terms and date I needed.
I highly recommend Jennifer, not only as a friend, but as an excellent real estate consultant.

Andrea and Konstantine Haralampopoulos
River WestMy wife and I want to take this opportunity to express our complete satisfaction with the added-value service that your company and agents provide. In this day and age, with the marketplace questioning whether a realtor is important - let alone necessary - it is reassuring to know that there are true professionals out there that listen to the customer, work together as a team and give 110% in order to sell your place. Specifically, we are speaking about two of your agents Yogi Yedlin and Ben Shalom. Yogi and Ben roll up the sleeves and get down to business. They realize that time is money and the priority is to sell your place at an attractive price as soon as possible. Their friendly and warm personalities coupled with sensitivity to what is important for the client, hard work ethic, creativity to explore alternate solutions for win-win outcomes and sense of humour all combine to a winning formula. We are very grateful for Ben and Yogi's assistance and wish them and Dreamtown continued success. For my part, I will refer clients to you whenever the opportunity presents itself. Andrea and Konstantine Haralampopoulos, River West

Millennium ParkWe found Nicky's number on the Dream Town web site. We requested a call and she called immediately. The first thing she said was "don't worry; I will help you find your dream home". That was it. She did everything possible and more. I must mention that she is THE BEST and most amazing agent! Our home search was stress free and fun with her.

Merry-Beth Noble & Hague Williams
Hyde ParkAlthough 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! Merry-Beth & Hague, Hyde Park

Greg Dunn
River NorthAmy was honestly super to work with. . As a 1st time buyer, buying new construction, in a difficult credit market, it seemed like there were endless obstacles the entire way through. Even in negotiating price/upgrades it was like pushing against a stone wall dealing with the developer, but Amy was collected the entire time and always seemed to know just how much to push back to keep things moving along. She never made me wait for an email/phone response and was always available to answer any questions/concerns I had. . Aside from her business sense, she is very easy to relate too. . . very personable and sincere. I absolutely would use her again, and definitely recommend her to any prospective buyer. . You can't go wrong.

Andrea and Avram Golden-Trist
PilsenOur realtor Alejandro Guevara was very helpful to my wife and me when we were looking to buy our first home. He had access to many of the houses in the neighborhood we were looking in and was relentless in making sure we got to see the properties we wanted to see. After nothing was right for us during the first search, he came back with another list of homes for us to look at and when we found the place we would buy, he took us back to his office that night so we could prepare an offer.
Since we are first time home buyers, Alex walked us through the home buying process in a way that made it easy for us to understand. He suggested mortgage brokers, lawyers and home inspectors if we did not know where to look. We are now very happily living in our new home.

Will and Naomi
Rogers ParkBuying a house can be a scary process especially when it is done long distance. My husband and I had a few real estate agents to choose from, but Erik stood out as the best of them. We chose Erik because he was quick to provide us with many online listings with the specific features we were looking for. In addition Erik was the only agent we felt would fight for us to get the best price possible. He made us feel at ease leaving the process in his hands. My husband and I came to Chicago for a two day house hunting weekend. Erik did a wonderful job of lining up viewings of our favorite on-line listings. He drove us to house after house until we found the ideal place. Once we made our decision, Erik handled all the paperwork and red tape, making the process easy for us. I would highly recommend Erik as a real estate agent.

Sean Carson & Stephanie Keeney
Rogers ParkErik was extremely helpful in walking Stephanie and I through the home buying process. He took the time to explain the complicated process to us, and we felt comfortable that we'd find a home that fit our interests after the first meeting with him. Erik's industry contacts (real estate attorney, loan financier and home inspector) were also highly qualified and competent individuals. All in all, with Erik's help, our home buying experience was efficient, successful and fun. Thanks again for your help and support... look forward to seeing you again. And, look for an invitation to our housewarming party.

Gabi and Oliver M.
EdgewaterIt was a great pleasure working with Mitch Gardberg as our home selling agent. He was patient with us and explained every step in the process in great detail. We had no idea how easy it is to sell a house . . . thanks to him. Being able to find a buyer in less than two weeks was indeed amazing in today's market. He must have done a terrific job of outlining the pros of the house as we received the full asking price. I'll be looking forward to doing more business with him and I'll recommend him strongly.

RavenswoodI would highly recommend Mark. As a first time buyer, Mark took the time to explain the process of buying a home and answer all of my questions. He was always available to show me properties that I was interested in and returned emails and phone calls immediately. He was very honest and knowledgeable and offered helpful advice throughout the entire process.

Jason and Lauren Friedl
Humboldt ParkWe used Mark Miles from Dream Town Realty to assist us on our recent home search. After looking at several places, and listening to our descriptions of what we were looking for, Mark recommended that we look at a beautiful new construction condo the he knew of. As soon as we saw it, we knew we had found our home. We fell in love with it immediately and really appreciate Mark bringing us there and his attention to the details of what we hoped to find. Our condo exceeds all our expectations of what we wanted. The neighborhood is great and living in a brand new building is fantastic. We will definitely use Mark in the future as well as recommend him to anyone we know buying or selling.

Mark and Faith Foley
WrigleyvilleFaith 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.

EvanstonMy Mom said that he has "such a heart of gold". Chris is an absolutely selfless realtor, totally devoted, patient, understanding, funny and enthusiastic. We viewed numerous properties before we found the right one; there were tons of phone calls and email interactions. Chris would simultaneously respond to my emails even at 2:00am in the morning -- such an excellent character!

Martie & Al Evans
West LakeviewAs first time home buyers and newcomers to Chicago, we did not know where to start when looking for a home. After searching for a broker on the internet, we got very lucky to find Tom Okon on our first try. Tom was a wonderful guide for us. He listened to what we wanted, but he also suggested new areas and types of homes. We really appreciated his ideas. Tom thoroughly checked out each potential home that we visited, and he questioned the sellers' brokers on mechanicals and other things that we may not have noticed. We felt that Tom's knowledge and experience were crucial to our finding the right home. We ended up in a very nice single family home in West Lakeview. We love the house and the neighborhood. We feel we owe all of our good fortune to Tom and his excellent guidance.

Elysia and Shannon
LakeviewHands down Terri is the best realtor out there. It was our first home buying experience and Terri made it one of the happiest times of our lives. She took the time to listen to what we wanted, explain what was going on, and soothed us when I was having panic attacks. And she knows her stuff, every question we had she came back with an answer. And since it was our first time we had a lot. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a first home or their 10th home.

Carol Godart
BucktownErik has renewed my faith in realtors, which I must admit had become quite scarred and cynical, in the past, after experiencing many soured dealings. But when I found myself needing to purchase a home, via long distance in a short amount of time, I decided to contact Dream Town Realty and got Erik - who in turn got me. He patiently served all my idiosyncrasies, all with a laidback and helpful attitude. But most importantly, he found me the perfect home. It sounds cliché, but I assure you that he, literally, found the home that fit my unique needs: neighborhood, price and one that suits my personality to a 'T'. By day two, he was able to assess these various components about me and my needs and matched me with my new home. It was evident that Erik was working for me and not trying to sell just any house to just any person. It was a pleasure working with Erik.

Wicker ParkI couldn't be happier with my new home purchase and I owe it all to Maggie! She was super nice and fun to work with. Finding my perfect home was tough for me, but she guided me through the whole process and never gave up on me. I couldn't have done it without her. Anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home should definitely talk to Maggie. Arlene Eason, Wicker Park

Luke and Krysta
Lincoln SquareWe were very fortunate to have Elizabeth represent us during the sale of our Lincoln Square condominium. We were up against a schedule while trying to move to Namibia, which Elizabeth took to heart, and worked extremely hard for our sale. Having seen her in action in the neighborhood, we knew she had many clients, but not once did we feel like anything other than her priority seller. Dream Town also offered the best marketing we've seen in Chicagoland. The day we hit the market, our listing popped up everywhere. We recognized Elizabeth's genuine care for our situation, and sincerely appreciated her hard work making us Number 1. We are now happy to be in Namibia, but we know who we'll be calling if we ever end up looking for a home again in the greatest city in the world.

Katelyn
River NorthHonestly, I don't know how we could have gotten through the process of finding and purchasing our first home without Elizabeth. She was always there for us: to answer any questions via phone, e-mail and text at any hour. And for a couple who had no idea what they were doing, we had A LOT of questions. Elizabeth made us feel comfortable. We knew that she was not going to give up until we found our perfect home for the best price. Over time, we developed a relationship of implicit trust. We knew that Elizabeth was not going to let us make a wrong move. At times, she explicitly put us before her financial gain by steering us away from bad purchases. In truth, Elizabeth was and is not just our Dream Town representative, she is our valued friend.

Jen
Old TownElizabeth was able to get counter offers from a seller that didn't appear to want to take my offer seriously. She was persistent and realistic during the several month process it took to get the sales price down. I appreciated being able to lean on her expertise and am very happy with my place. To an analytical person like me, the fact that it appraised for more than I paid is validation that I got a great investment too!

Scott and Beka
Rogers ParkFinding 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.

Garrett and Carly Buxton
Hyde ParkDave was an excellent resource during our first home-buying experience. Not only was this our first experience with buying real estate, but we were moving from a different part of the nation, so our case presented plenty of potential challenges for a real estate agent! But Dave's congeniality and openness were welcome signs of his forthcoming availability, sincerity, and concern for our case. He ushered us through every step and really took the time to explain every detail needed. Throughout the entire process, we always felt confident that Dave was taking care of us and had our satisfaction as his top priority. Dave is patient and knows more than anyone about buying and selling properties. We heartily recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property.

Dave and Neide Butler
LakeviewWe wanted to thank you for all your help. We talked to a number of Realtors before we chose you - as you know we did not get your name through a referral but though a phone call to show us one of your listings (I had great luck that day). You were very easy to work with and felt you listened to our needs and understood that your listing was not a good match for us - for you to give us three straight days of your undivided attention (without giving you any notice) to look for homes was awesome. We also want to acknowledge your support through the entire process (helping us find a Gym, getting car stickers, and taking me to the Secretary of State, finding a phone for Neibe, etc). We feel very fortunate to have come across you in our home search and would recommend you to anyone else searching for a home. I also want to acknowledge all the folks you recommend us in the home process (Mortgage, Lawyer, inspection) they all were great. Thanks again!

Tom and Kelly Dattulo
Irving ParkPurchasing a bank owned house the week you are getting married is not the best of ideas for first time buyers but it is what we did. Mark was very patient throughout the entire process and handled it well. He was very timely in his responses to all our inquires and even negotiated to get us a large credit for any hidden expenses that might have come up. We are really glad he did, as once we moved in, the credit came in very handy to repair some of the defects we didn't know existed, being a foreclosure with no seller to ask questions of. Mark really looked out for our best interest throughout. All in all we could not have asked for more.

Mount ProspectWe were extremely happy with Moshe as our realtor. This was our first home purchase, and Moshe was very respectful and understanding of us. We also felt that being inexperienced, we could have been taken advantage of very easily, but felt that Moshe treated us very well and helped us get a great price on our first home. He also gave us several names of people we could use for our attorney, mortgage broker, home inspector, etc. and all that we ended up using turned out to be equally as friendly and professional. We both highly recommend Moshe for his experience, his work ethic, and his respectful and professional demeanor. Kyle & Christine, Mount Prospect
