"My husband and I worked with Elizabeth to purchase a condo--she was excellent! We are first time home buyers, and Elizabeth took the time to discuss the ins and outs of buying a condo in Chicago and patiently answered our many questions throughout the process of placing an offer. Her knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods was very helpful throughout our search--helping us to think of looking in locations we might have otherwise overlooked. She was professional, responsive, and organized throughout the entire process--we couldn't have been happier working with a realtor and would highly recommend Elizabeth. Thank you!" - Kelly W

I’m so lucky to have worked with Elizabeth as both a buyer and a seller. Not only is she very knowledgeable and helpful, she’s exceptionally pleasant to work with. She was also a great negotiator on my behalf! I whole-heartedly recommend Elizabeth and Santiago and their excellent team." - Stephanie S.

"Elizabeth and Santiago were very professional and friendly in all dealings while selling our condo during a pandemic. Elizabeth was present for all showings of our property and was prompt in providing feedback. She was also very patient despite our numerous calls and emails. They were also able to help us with re-staging the condo to make it more marketable. It also helped that they were located close to our condo. I highly recommend using Elizabeth and Santiago to sell your property." - Kris W.

"Elizabeth was a dream to work with! She was beyond patient with me and helped me find a condo that checked every box on my list. She also made sure that I understood what was going on during every step of the transaction, which made a world of difference. I would recommend working with her again and again!" - Jordan N.

"My wife and I had an awesome experience with Elizabeth buying our first condo. She was recommended to us by Great Lakes Credit Union, and she really lived up to the recommendation and all the positive reviews we saw for her online.When we first met, my wife and I got the strong sense that Elizabeth was the kind of person we wanted on our side. She's really friendly and personable, but you can also tell that she's super confident and will fight for you. I was almost a little disappointed our buying process went so smoothly; I kind of wanted someone to try something shady so we could see Elizabeth smack them down with a smile.
Besides being an awesome realtor generally, she also really knows the Andersonville / Edgewater neighborhoods and buildings. On tours she was throwing out details like "Normally the buildings of this age in the area have bad windows, but these are solid. She's also great at communicating, and would respond promptly to texts or emails at various hours of the day, and she kept up that responsiveness through closing, all the way to exchanging keys (which happened two months after closing for us.) I'm recommending her to everyone I hear is thinking about buying."

"My husband and I met Santiago around 2014 while we were renting a home in Indiana. We decided to move to downtown Chicago to be closer to his work. He was commuting there by train each day for a year.
Unfamiliar with homes in the area, we began driving into Chicago looking for homes in communities that we thought would be a great fit. After several trips driving around the city, going to open houses and looking at communities, we felt overwhelmed and had been making no progress in our decision making.
One fortunate day, we were in an Open House in Lincoln Park, there we met Santiago Valdez. Although not the home of our choice, Santiago engaged us with his professionalism, courtesy and efficiency. From there on he listened to our needs, sent us listings to help us narrow our search, met with us as we looked until we found just the right home.
We now have had the opportunity to work with both Elizabeth and Santiago and used them to sell our home. They assisted us from beginning to end and are deeply grateful to have such professional expertise to help us through the buying and selling process.
We highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs."
★★★★★
"Elizabeth has helped me find two homes over the last five years, both of them amazing condos that fit exactly what I needed (not just in terms of price, etc. but also vis-a-vis lifestyle fit). She and her team are highly organized, knowledgeable, and work very quickly. I recommend her to all my friends looking to move into or within Chicago,"

★★★★★
"Elizabeth was very responsive and understanding of all my needs during the buying process and handled all situations extremely well. She followed up after the sale to inform me that I should transfer a warranty on the washer and dryer for the place I bought which was above and beyond what I expected. I would highly recommend her for to anybody and wouldn't hesitate to use her for any future purchases or sells I might make." - Suffolkbritt
★★★★★
"Elizabeth, I couldn't even begin to tell you how thankful I am for your hard work. Both my parents had great things to say about your tenacity and dedication to helping us sell this unit. I truly appreciate all of your help during this process. You have my consideration for future business as well as my referral. " - Eric
★★★★★
"Elizabeth was great to work with, She answered every email and provided updates on our listing. Elizabeth worked every hard as promised to sell our unit. She went above and beyond, We will recommend her to friends and family. Our unit was a hard sell because we didn't have parking. Elizabeth contacted all the unit owners to find a parking that was available for lease. We are so happy and appreciate all her hard work. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!" - Maria
★★★★★
"Our experience working with you was great! As first time home buyers we knew nothing about the process and you made us comfortable and made it easy for us! Elizabeth provided a lot of information/data for us to review to make the most informed decision. This included market/pricing conditions, including history on the properties we were looking at along with neighboring units in the neighborhood. Elizabeth was always available. She made time to meet with us over coffee and was always responding quickly to emails, calls and even our text messages. We will refer anyone in Chicago looking to buy to you! Elizabeth was wonderful!She was fun to work with and super knowledgeable about the process." - Chandler & Meghan
★★★★★
"From our very first meeting I could tell Elizabeth Pyle was well educated and informed about market conditions in my area. She effectively put together a pricing and marketing plan that brought offers to me within days.Unfortunately, my first buyer changed their mind and my sale fell through. I was impressed, and relieved, when in less than ten hours Elizabeth had reached out to another buyer who had showed interest in my property and that sale was successful. I would definitely use Elizabeth again and would refer her without hesitation." - MK
★★★★★
"Elizabeth provided correct and informative data was provided regarding the market, pricing, and conditions. The communication was great. Not only was she very responsive, but she also answered emails and text messages and accommodated us as needed. I would recommend her to anyone I know buying or selling real estate. Elizabeth provided great service!" - FC
★★★★★
"Elizabeth kept me updated with the prices going on in my desired area. She was very good with getting back to me, even though I lived out of state. I would recommend her to my family and friends. Overall, Elizabeth never really pressured me to buy, considering that we looked at many homes before I decided on one. The closing was simple and was out of there pretty quickly." - Doris
★★★★★
"You have been great to work with, and made the sale of our condo incredibly stress free. We look forward to future possibilities and will highly recommend you to our family and friends! Thanks!" - Chase
★★★★★

★★★★★
"Elizabeth has my highest recommendation. She is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and friendly real estate agents I've ever worked with. She was an expert guide for my wife and I as we worked through the complicated process of finding a condo we loved. She helped us enormously with the process of negotiation, property inspection, and everything else right through the day we closed (she even attended the closing, just to make sure nothing went wrong as we finalized the purchase). Her help was invaluable every step of the way. She worked tirelessly on our behalf." - Tony
★★★★★
"Elizabeth was great throughout the whole process of helping me purchase my first condo. She was recommended to me by my parents as she did a great job for them as well. I would definitely recommend her." - Sean
★★★★★
"From the very first time meeting Elizabeth, she has been extremely professional and friendly. She answered an inquiry I sent on trulia, and of the four other realtors who emailed me back, she was the most professional. She was eager to meet but not pushy like the other realtors were. We worked with Elizabeth for a year and she was consistently top-notch every single time we saw her. It didn't end with the search either. Once we found the place we wanted to buy, she worked tirelessly on our behalf, negotiating with the sellers, dealing with the lawyer and mortgage broker. She checked in with us if a few days had gone by with us not talking, and she also came to the closing to make sure everything was finalized right. I have never experienced such professionalism in real estate before." - Liz
★★★★★
"Buying your first home can be a very stressful time. Fortunately I had Elizabeth in my corner. Elizabeth is very helpful, responsive, consultative, knowledgeable and is always listening. She also has a very positive attitude that made my first home-buying experience very easy and stress free. She handled my complete lack of knowledge of the home-buying process and my dumb sense of humor like a pro too! Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would recommend her to anyone (and will!)" - Devin
★★★★★
"Elizabeth is tremendous! If I could give her a 6th star, I would. As a first time home buyer, I knew next to nothing about buying a home when I started the process, but Elizabeth helped me every step of the way. I asked her so many questions, but she never made me feel like any question was a "stupid question," and she always responded quickly with a wealth of information. I was impressed with her knowledge and expertise on local real estate and the home purchase process. She was able to negotiate a great deal for me, and helped to chase people down and smooth things out when we encountered snags in the process. I highly recommend Elizabeth!" - Kristen
★★★★★
"We went with Elizabeth in purchasing our first home in Chicago. I really got a sense that she was always working with our best interests in mind. We ran into some issues with the property that had the potential to prevent the close, but Elizabeth chased the seller's agent and played a big role in helping us reach terms that kept the deal on track. In the end, the process was quick and relatively pain free because we had her on our team. She's knowledgeable and professional, but also is always smiling, fun to work with and remains positive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to others." - Logan
★★★★★
"Very friendly, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable about Chicago properties and real estate procedures. Santiago also worked with my mother years ago and has assisted her throughout the years with questions about properties." -Jason B
★★★★★
"Elizabeth was thorough, patient and very knowledgeable throughout the buying process. She helped me at every step and made sure I picked the correct condo as my first home. She was always on time with listings that I might be interested in early in the process. When the condo was selected she advised and guided me through the closing process. She negotiated and closed the deal on time. I would highly recommend her if you are looking to buy/sell in Chicago area" - Jaideep
