"Brad has helped us buy and sell two homes in the area. No one knows Lake Forest and Lake Bluff like Brad. In addition to market knowledge, he has an innate sense for the negotiation and home-buying process. His experience in building trades and supplies are also a great benefit to the buyer or remodeler. Moreover, with Brad's colleagues, you clearly get the Varsity team. Should we think of selling, we would without question call Brad again."

★★★★★
"I have had the pleasure of working with Brad several times over the years (two sales, two buys). I wouldn’t even think of another real estate transaction without first consulting Brad. Having grown up in the area, Brad knows each of the neighborhoods in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff intimately. With deep experience in real estate and construction, he can offer valuable insight on the relative merits of locations, properties and values. This had a huge positive impact on our decision processes. Brad is also a very smart negotiator; he understands the chess game. There is no question that he was always looking out for our interests. As a result, we have recommended Griffith, Grant and Lackey, and Brad specifically, to many family and friends."

★★★★★
"Brad Andersen?s knowledge, judgment and calming personality were exactly what I needed. Two things stood out for me. First was Brad?s depth of experience and knowledge about the market. He knows the market cold. Second and equallyimportant to me was that Brad gave me advice. He expressed his views ? exactlywhat I wanted ? rather than waiting for me to ask or rather than simply reacting to me. He was proactive. And that coupled with his base of knowledge was spot on. I highly recommend Brad."
