"Selling a home and buying a new one is (supposed to be) stressful, but Eileen could not
have made that process any easier for my family. From finding us a new home we loved,
to selling our house (at the first open house!), she did it all and we could not be happier!" - Robert

"Working with Eileen in selling our Wilmette family home of 20+ years was excellent. Every
part of the process - from listing the property to closing the sale - went smoothly and
quickly. We received an offer within two days! Eileen was professional, knowledgeable,
and confident in managing all the details and questions that came up for us as well as our
buyer. All in all it was truly a positive experience." - Meg
★★★★★
"Eileen was a dream to work with. She listens carefully, provides terrific counsel, has
awesome resources, was always readily available, and sells with her
heart. Eileen's compassion for other's shines through as a realtor. Each seller's and buyer's
situation is different and she understands that and provides support and compassion to all
transactions. She sold my home quickly and found a wonderful home to move into. It was
a difficult negotiating situation and Eileen handled it beautifully and was a calming,
positive force during difficult situations. Not sure I'll be moving again anytime soon, but if
and when I do, Eileen will be my go-to realtor." - Libby

"We came from abroad (Australia) and we had this wild idea to buy a house straight away.
Crazy,some would say, but Eileen was with us every step of the way. her instincts were
spot on; she had our taste down almost immediately and sent us regular lists of houses we
would like. She was great at explaining what we should be expecting as new buyers, how
things go, timelines, etc. And now we live in our perfect home! It is absolutely the right
fit. I would recommend Eileen's friendly and professional support as a real estate agent to
anyone." - Barbara

""It has been such a pleasure to work with Eileen. She has been amazing throughout the
entire process. She helped us in renting a house when we moved to Chicago from Europe
a few months ago and she never stopped showing us property after property until we
found the right house to buy in our preferred area. She was very responsive to our
questions or concerns and provided all the contacts we needed (lawyer, home inspector,
banker ..). We couldn't have done it without her smile and her support. Would totally
recommend!!!!" - Yael
★★★★★
"I have worked with Eileen on many relocation assignments. She is extremely professional. Eileen responds quickly to all requests no matter how small. Her willingness to work in all neighborhoods in the city, as well as the northern suburbs makes her an ideal realtor to work with when clients are undecided about where to live. She is knowledgeable about the city and the suburbs. She works on the behalf of the client to negotiate savings. In all my dealings with Eileen, she has been upbeat and eager to make clients happy. I highly recommend Eileen Collins!" - Karen
★★★★★
"I have known Eileen personally for years and when it came to buying our first home, I
couldn’t think of anyone more trustworthy to work with. Her charm and fierceness
certainly worked in our favor! Eileen found us the perfect home to raise our baby in. My
husband and I could not be happier with the outcome! Thank you for all that you’ve done!" - Sara
