Testimonials:
Fergal was brilliant as we looked to buy a new home. I never felt pressured and he showed great insight in pointing out the flaws in prospective homes. In the end he found us the perfect home and he was there to guide us through the whole process. Overall he made a stressful process much less so, I have recommended him to friends who have been equally complementary.

I rarely write reviews (and have never given a 5 star review), but I cannot speak more highly of Fergal, and the level of attention he provided to us as first time home buyers. Buying your first home can be overwhelming and stressful -- to say the least. You have to trust the person that is representing you. Trust in their ability, trust in their knowledge and trust in their commitment to you as a client. Fergal excels in all three. He walked us through the process with painstaking detail, answered all of our questions (and there were many), and made us feel confident in the decision we were making. We truly found the perfect home because of Fergal. I have no hesitations recommending Fergal, and I look very forward to having Fergal represent us in future real estate transactions.

Fergal was excellent in selling my home. He is very professional and handled the process with excellence. He explained and provided all that was needed to sell my home. I would recommend him to anyone.

My family has looked to Fergal on five separate occasions, both on the buy and sell side of transactions, and would not think of seeking another realtor's guidance. As a buyer, Fergal worked tirelessly to ensure that we saw a wide variety of properties – he intently delved into our wish list to find listings that fit our wish list and others where his keen instincts led him to properties where we otherwise would not have looked. On the sell side, Fergal steps into the role of trusted advisor with ease. His knowledge of market trends and astute marketing plans helped us sell our home well below the average time on market for our area multiple times. Fergal's network reaches wide and his clients reap the benefits with unparalleled access to some of the best photographers, stagers, etc. Perhaps most important, Fergal made sure to build a rapport with every agent and seller/potential buyer we came into contact with. His friendly demeanor eased the negotiation process and trickled over into beneficial transactions on each occasion. We look forward to our next opportunity to jump into the market with Fergal as our guide. Thank you for years of counsel, Fergal – we wouldn't be where we're at today without you!

I worked with Fergal Tierney to sell my townhouse in Old Irving Park when I moved to Northern California. After backing out from one deal the previous summer, Fergal helped me get a much better deal just last month. He was incredibly diligent in getting the house staged in such a way that it sold just a couple days after it went on the market. I would recommend him highly for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Chicago area.

We just closed on a house and couldn't be happier, as we had been looking for over a year. Thankfully our agent Fergal Tierney was extremely patient and never once tried to push us in order to get a sale. In fact, he was the voice of reason when my wife and were frustrated and wanted to put an offer in on a place that wasn't ideal. Fergal reassured us that we would find exactly what we were looking for even if it took more time. He was eager to meet during the week, after hours, and most importantly on short notice.
