Client Testimonials

Scroll down for more: Carsten is an amazing real estate resource--not just an agent, but a point of contact for other resources. He helped me buy a property at a very good price. He helped me sell my condo on the first day it was offered, at above asking price. He had the vision and contacts to have painters refresh the look of my condo and hire stagers to present its potential. He is now helping me renovate my new property, with new flooring, new paint, and new cabinets. The floors, paint, and cabinets are all through his contacts. All are highest quality and reasonable price. He is a pleasure to work with. Robert Nelson

Carsten is very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods. His negotiation skills are amazing and he is very responsive. I had a very positive experience with Carsten. The process went seamless and I have recommended him to several people afterwards. Very straightforward and always looks out for your best interest. Go with Carsten for your selling and buying needs and you will not be disappointed. - Carla V.

Carsten did a great job selling my Mother's house in Libertyville, IL. Being 2000 miles away I could depend on his attention to every detail, and his intuition in knowing what to do and what not to do in getting the place ready for sale. His past experience with doing improvements before the sale was invaluable. He was great at providing sensible strategies when multiple offers came in and later when the offer we had tried to lower their price. I give him my highest recommendation. - Karl B.

Carsten was our realtor in finding our new home and in a word, he’s amazing! We’re out of state clients and he was always available with questions and went above and beyond for us. Thank you, Carsten! - Paola L.

Carsten is a complete professional. He has handled our complicated three-pronged transactions with efficiency, and good humor. He treats his clients as he would like to be treated and makes the whole process palatable. - Marti L.
