Kyle Toboilk
EdgewaterI have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Beverly Baum at Dream Town Realty. As a first time buyer, I had very little idea about the procedure of purchasing a home. I began my search using their website to connect to the MLS listings. I found this to be very useful and convenient as I could narrow my search from the privacy of my own home. Once we found places we liked, Beverly was more than willing to set up a number of appointments in a row and traveled to and from all of the showings with us. From our first showing, Beverly stood in our corner asking the sellers' agents all the relevant questions and providing us with her own personal input (in regards to opinion and past experiences) throughout. It was really nice to have someone we could trust in our corner throughout this whole process. Thanks Beverly.

Gold CoastI would like for Bonnie's future clients to have complete confidence that she will do a fabulous job. Bonnie did a great job at asking important questions that allowed her to find properties that were customized to my specific needs. So I know I saved a lot of time by working with her. She was prompt, well informed, and had tremendous follow through. She was also flexible with my schedule. Incredibly friendly - She'll get the job done!

Dean and Maria Miller
West LoopIn the past we have been intimidated by the prospect of real estate transactions due to some poor service and advice provided by Chicago area brokers. When we were looking for our current residence, we parted ways with our first agent. He asked some general questions about our price range and preferences and then proceeded to parade us past 15 properties that were out of our range and did not offer what we were looking for. Bonnie insisted upon knowing everything about our interests and price range! Bonnie's experience was valuable in completing our recent condo purchase. She showed us several properties to choose from and raised questions that we never enough considered and ensured that our needs were being addressed. Bonnie and the folks at Dreamtown made our purchase very pleasant. It was clear that every detail was considered and our best interests were top priority. We would definitely use Bonnie in the future and recommend her to everyone!

Ellen and Doug Melvin
West LoopBonnie Kirincic-Reyburn was such a great help in providing us outstanding service in purchasing a second home in Chicago. From our initial contact she dedicated herself with great energy and enthusiasm to make sure that we were completely satisfied. She distinguished herself from other agents because of her knowledge, experience, range of skills, constant communication with us, attention to detail, personality and professionalism. Not living in the Chicago area was a disadvantage to us. Bonnie recognized the fact that our time was very valuable and she was always prepared with information and was efficient in scheduling appointments. We would not hesitate to recommend Bonnie as she took pride in what she did to make sure that we were completely satisfied.

Michael and Sarah Reese
West LoopBonnie is awesome! We were relocating from Michigan and we were not really sure where we wanted to buy in the Chicago are. We had somewhat of an idea of where we wanted, and what we wanted, but we really needed someone to help us solidify our expectations. Bonnie was that someone! She has an amazing direction and feel of the city and gives you information and background on virtually every neighborhood, attraction or 'hot spot' restaurant. Bonnie truly took the time to learn what we wanted and then worked to fulfill those wants. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and felt that we did not just find a good realtor but we found a caring person.

Wicker ParkMoving into Chicago from out-of-state, I needed a real estate agent who I could trust. Someone who was on the top of his game and a great communicator. Eric fit my needs perfectly.

Shaun and Carissa
West LakeviewIt was a real pleasure working with Dream Town, and our real estate rep Chad Vanags, on the purchase of our new home at 2150 W. Fletcher. Being our first home purchase we were really anxious to avoid the headaches that we anticipated would come with learning everything about the process in the short amount of time we had to close the deal. Dream Town truly helped facilitate a smooth process and eased all of our concerns with the combination of professional staff and a clear concise process that was in place. We have only lived in our new house for a month, but it truly feels like a home and Dream Town was a big part of making this aspiration of ownership a reality. Thanks again Dream Town and of course Chad.

Rodell
Garfield ParkI contacted many real-estate agents in my first-time search for a new condo. Dream Town, by far, responded faster and with greater attention than any other realty company that I was dealing with at the time.
Their use of technology and web-based tools to assist potential buyers made the buying process easier. Chad, my agent, made every effort to rapidly respond to my needs and requests. He was able to match me up with quality referrals for the legal and inspection aspects of the process. Chad was also very forthcoming and honest about challenges and limitations that he had in the process (for example, assessing the property based on comparables in the neighborhood because there was not much existing data to go on). This was critical in establishing trust.
I had a pleasant and very satisfactory experience using Dream Town Realty in my search for a condo and would recommend their services going forward.

LakeviewAs a first time home buyer I looked like a deer in the headlights looking for a condo! Chandra Rose was extremely helpful and comforting throughout the whole process.

Amy & Stephan
West LoopWe would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Chandra for the excellent job she did in representing us as buyer's agent. We were impressed with her positive attitude and easy demeanor. In addition (and more importantly) she was a consummate professional, honest, and knowledgeable of the Chicago real estate market. We found her extremely responsive. She always returned our calls promptly, responded to our emails, and was willing to go the extra mile for us. In fact, she spent multiple Saturdays with us in what seemed like an endless search. When it seemed like we would not find the 'perfect' place, she would refine the search and widen the universe of places to see. In the end, we found the perfect place for us! We found that she acted more like a facilitator than a realtor. For example, if we were not getting a response from another party, we knew we could go to her and she would get us an answer we could trust. She was reassuring when we were anxious, tough when our interests were at stake, and patient with our questioning. She assisted us through the entire process and we are very grateful for her efforts. She is definitely one of the best realtors that we have come across.

Belmont-CraginI am extremely satisfied with Chandra Rose as my Realtor. She made the whole process seamless. It was great having someone competent, funny, and beautiful working with you on one of the biggest purchases you will ever make. It took about 6 weeks before I was moved into my new home from the day I began receiving customized listings via email. THANK YOU Chandra for all your hard work in making my dream of home ownership a reality! I will definitely keep referring friends to you"

Kristin Kostro
West LoopThe decision to buy a house was easy. The process of finding the right one was the hard part and it can seem down right impossible at times but the way Chris managed the whole experience made it very easy and enjoyable. Despite the inevitable dead ends we came across, Chris always had a smile on his face and even after 4 months of searching he still continued to give me hope that I would find the right one. I could always count on Chris to give me his honest opinion with regards to each condo and neighborhood we looked at. Chris was sending me updated properties all day long even after changing my search criteria a few times! I appreciate Chris' quick responses to all of my phone calls and emails . . . and there were PLENTY of them! Chris was extremely dedicated to me and my search and will always be appreciated for that. Chris and Dream Town exceeded my every expectation. I would highly recommend Chris.
Thank You,

Christina Darling & Bill Krammer
Logan SquareMy fiance and I had a great experience working with Dream Town Realty. Their website was easy to use and it enabled us to view many different property options, schedule appointments, manage our properties list, etc. Through Dream Town's website, we met our Real Estate Agent, Chris Vasilakopoulos.
Chris called me to schedule an appointment. He made a sincere effort to find out what our needs were. We wanted to find something fairly quickly, but we also had some uncertainties of what we wanted. Having worked with Chris for about 6 months and changing our criteria a couple of times, we visited approximately 135 properties. During this process, Chris was very patient and accommodating to our needs. We were able to discuss our concerns freely with him.
As a result, we found a place that is perfect for us. Chris still checks in with us from time to time to see how everything is going. It's been a pleasure working with him and I will recommend him to others in the future.

Gold CoastWe found that Chris Vasilakopoulos was extremely diligent, attentive and helpful in our search to purchase a condo in downtown Chicago. We were relatively new to the United States and he took us through all the details and did thorough research in order to find our perfect home. We would recommend Chris and Dream Town to all who are looking to purchase homes in Chicago.

Cathy Taylor
LakeviewI had a great experience with Chris when looking for and purchasing my first property. He was very patient with me; walking me through every step of the process and answering all of my questions. I spent a lot of time with him over the 4 months we were out viewing properties and even though this process can be very frustrating I always had fun with him. He had my best interests at heart. I remember sometimes he would point out bad things about a place that I didn't even notice at first glance. The night we went out when I finally found the place I bought I remember I didn't even want to go. I was so tired of looking but Chris talked me into it - he just told me Cathy, I have a good feeling about tonight. He was right - I love my place. I will definitely work with Chris again and will recommend him to anyone looking for an agent. Chris, thank you for everything!

Carrie Thompson
LoopMy experience with Chris Vasilakopoulos of Dream Town was outstanding. I would like to express my appreciation to him for the seemingly tireless hours he spent helping me find the perfect place to call home. From the beginning I found Chris extremely responsive, patient, and very knowledgeable of the Chicago market. Not only did he help me tremendously with this purchase, but made himself available to me when I had questions regarding the sale of my prior home. Many thanks to Chris and Dream Town for a terrific home buying experience.

Beth Alcantar
South LoopThank you for giving us the opportunity to be of service. Now that your transaction has come to a close, we ask that you take a moment to provide us with your opinion, as to the quality of our services, website, and overall satisfaction. With you permission, we would like to post your opinion and photograph on our website. Should you like us to omit any of your information, please advise. We thank you in advance for your input
The Dreamtown website is fantastic. I was able to find the listings I was interested in by myself--several hours of looking online and telling Chris which ones I wanted to go to saved us both hours of time looking at inappropriate ones because I knew what I wanted and there wasn't a lot of it out there in my price range. I love my condo and it has everything I was looking for. Chris was very patient with me and let me vent when my horrible mortgage broker was causing constant problems even though that wasn't Chris' fault or problem. I appreciate the follow-up after closing too. I'm certainly recommending Chris to friends and clients

Rochelle Green
BronzevilleChris V. and everyone he recommended to me were responsive, courteous and above all professional. I had extensive delays and difficulties with my home-buyer's finance company, their attorney, etc. So many that that it looked as if my deal would not close due to their delays. I was devastated. Then, Chris and his dream-team stepped in and closed MY BUYER and then closed me the next day! I owe them much. Without them I would have lost money and would have had to begin the process all over again with selling my home and purchasing my condo. Thanks to their diligence, I am in my dream-condo in my dream location. I owe it all to my dream-team at Dream Town. You were wonderful! I'll never buy or sell property again without you.

Brian Jenkins
EdgewaterI recently purchased my first home with the help of Chris, and I could not have been more pleased with the level of service, commitment, and professionalism that I was provided. I originally resided in Michigan, and while attending my last semester of college, Chris understood my schedule would not allow for me to make frequent trips to the city, and adjusted accordingly. He set aside hours at a time for me, and in only two visits, he showed me over 30 properties that fit my criteria! I was also impressed with his ability to understand what is was I was searching for. He never pressured me into a decision, or led me anywhere that wasn't in my best interest. Beyond the visits, Chris was always very quick to return phone calls and always hunted down the answers to my questions with diligence. Over the couple months that I was searching, we spoke on almost a daily basis, and each time he let me know that my search was a priority to him, not by words, but by the way he handled everything with such a positive energy. I've kept in touch with Chris since the closing, and he remains just as attentive as ever before. He's even helping me find the right people to help me with my remodeling! From start to finish, Chris was as dedicated to helping me find my home as I could have ever hoped. I have been recommending Chris to all of my friends as they move to the city, and would encourage anyone searching for their first home, or their next dream home, to work with him. Thanks Chris!

Lincoln ParkWe were very satisfied with the service provided to us by Dream Town. The website was useful in searching for condos, giving us quick information and updates on listings. Our agent, Chris, was very helpful. He was very detailed in giving us the information we needed for property listings and always went the extra mile to help us out in our search. In general, we feel that Dream Town was a big help to us in finding our condo. We would definitely recommend this website and our agent to anyone in need of buying a home.

EdgewaterIt was an immense pleasure having Daniel Bahena as our agent. We were first time buyers and had no clue how to look for a place. But Daniel came to the rescue. He showed us all the places which fit our criteria. He asked all the right questions and didn't waste our time with places he knew wouldn't be worth our time. He has a great personality and he made our search very comfortable. I thought it would be impossible to find a place with a spectacular lake view in our price range, but he made it happen. There were so many agencies and agents to choose from, but we were very glad to have found Daniel. He worked very hard for us and for that we are very grateful. He found us our first home and it is everything we wanted. Thank you Daniel!!

Becky & Joe Wikman
West LoopWe were both first time home buyers with no knowledge whatsoever in the processes involved with buying a home. Dave was essential in our success! He was prompt and responsive with all of our emails and phone calls and gave us all of the information that we needed to know in each step of the process. Anytime we wanted to look at a place he'd work around our schedules. He taught us so much and was always looking out for our best interest. We feel lucky that we came across Dave at Dream Town and we couldn't have done it without him!
I will work on cleaning up the place so that we can get a picture of Joe and I to send to you. Thank you again for all of your fantastic help! We love the place.
Thanks again,

Andrew Shapiro
UptownDave,
I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for all your time, your hard work, and your dedication to helping me find a new home. Even when other services let me down in various areas of the home buying process you were far and away the most confident, inspiring, capable and professional part of the entire endeavor.
You went above and beyond the call of duty in taking extra time to explain every document, custom and legal requirement. I had no doubt at every moment that you were firmly in my court, working for my benefit, and as a result I was able to find and purchase a home that is perfect for me and my needs, with assurance that I was making a solid decision.
I've enjoyed working with you on a personal and professional level and I have no doubt your other clients have and will continue to do so as well. I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know who is in the market for a new home.
Thanks,
Andrew Shapiro, Uptown -

ClearingDave, you have provided our family with wonderful service as a realtor. Thank you for going above and beyond by picking our family up with a car seat you purchased for your SUV for our son. You even called us from Target to verify the type of seat for our child. Every email was answered promptly and graciously. You met every questions and hurdle with dedication and a sincere approach. Not only do we want you to be our realtor for every future purchase but we will recommend you to people we know as well. I can't say enough how impressed we were by your knowledge throughout the process and your dedication. Your credentials with schools were impressive to me but your real world knowledge with real estate was even more impressive. Our new home is possible because of you. Thank you.

EdgewaterEric Vega from Dream Town was truly a pleasure to work with! Our daughter's move from North Carolina to Chicago was made so much easier with his help in finding a perfect condo for her. His knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods to his immediate response of sending listed properties, to arranging 2 full-packed days of house-hunting when we were in town, he was always prepared and insightful. Eric will be our Chicago realtor for life and we highly recommend Eric to anyone who is in need of a new home!
