"I can't quite express how grateful I am that we had the chance to work with Gabriela for our very first home purchase. I have heard so many home-buying horror stories from friends over the years that I was prepared for the worst. But we were introduced to her through a mutual contact and we cannot believe our luck. She is patient and thoughtful. She listened to what we wanted and offered advice when asked, but never made us feel pressured. She was proactive and efficient every step of the way from putting in the offer to closing day.
When there was damage found during the inspection, she immediately had a roofer in to review and give an estimate so we could ask for an appropriate credit. She has a deep list of pros that she works with but never made us feel like we didn't have a choice. She was always responsive to our questions, calls and texts throughout the process too.
We are so thrilled with the house we found and we feel like we skipped the usual headaches that come with buying a new home because we got the absolute best realtor in the business.
Thank you Gabriela! Truly an amazing experience!"

"I have worked with Gabriela on two home sales. In both instances she has done an amazing job. Both of the properties brought prices well above average, and both sold very quickly. Gabriela’s knowledge and expertise are outstanding. She knows the market, she works well with other realtors and their buyers, and she handles every small detail of the transaction effectively. I didn’t have to do anything- she took care of it all! She is organized, efficient, and committed to getting you the best price for your property- as quickly as possible. She is available to answer your questions and makes strategic suggestions to help your property sell. Thank you Gabriela!!!!"

"I posted FIVE STARS for Gabriela because TEN STARS was not an available choice. I used to run for my life when realtors or lawyers or accountants were involved. She came highly recommended through a trusted friend so I reluctantly signed on. Through a rollercoaster economy and the most critical buyers she tenaciously and professionally marketed and staged a costly lakefront house and sold at top dollar...above the asking price just like she had promised. Having endured inspections and appraisals and showing after showing she came through and sold a house that many saw as impossible to sell...a mini-mansion in blue collar Desplaines. Expect phone calls returned, the most professional service and moreover connections within the industry that enable networks to sell property and homes. She is a class act and she inspires success in everything she does. Her team is equally professional and resourceful and dedicated. She knows her stuff, I chose her over Amy Kite and couldn't be happier. Recommended without hesitation."
