I truly believe that because of her helpful hints, this property was on the market for only 2 days before I signed sale contract.

"My husband and I had an exceptional experience working with realtor, Ilene Nye. She was professional and friendly to work with, and always considered our true needs and desires throughout the process. Ilene has a wealth of knowledge to share about both selling homes and renting/buying homes in the area. She also seemed to have great working relationships with others in the industry. She helped us sell our home at a competitive rate, and also assisted us in finding our new rental home in the area! We learned so much from her, and are so grateful to have worked with her. We couldn't be happier with her services and expertise."

★★★★★
"Ilene is very experienced, a consummate professional, easy to work with and very knowledgeable of the local area in Long Grove, Buffalo Grove and surrounding communities. As part of my work with Ilene, she provided a comprehensive set of comparable homes for sale, evaluated specifics about our home vs. others to help establish and support a higher price than one might have otherwise established for the property. She also assisted in securing bids for a roof repair as a result of our inspection process and ensured that the roofer had the right credentials and referrals. Same held true for painters and another vendor we needed related to sewer inspection. She collaborated and communicated well with my attorney to ensure that everything was ready to go on our side right up through closing and dealt with some of the complexities of the negotiation process when I was unavailable."

"Ilene is the best in her industry. From start to finish she knows what it takes to get a home sold. She came into my house on day 1 and staged my house. She has wonderful taste and knew exactly what needed to be done. Ilene was very responsive to everything that was needed during the process. Once the offer came in, Ilene negotiated a fair price and made sure we had a quick closing. If you are planning on buyer or selling, Ilene is your Agent!"

"We loved working with Ilene! She helped us sell our three-bedroom home in Buffalo Grove and buy a four-bedroom home in Long Grove. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area, which was particularly helpful given how tight the market is right now. It also helped that she knows so many local agents, she was able to get us the first showing of the house we ended up buying. Ilene always responds quickly to emails, phone calls, or text messages and was happy to accommodate our sometimes difficult schedules. She's not at all pushy and really got what we were looking for. It was a pleasure to work with her!"

Thanks llene, you are amazing!"

"Highly recommend Ilene! We had to unexpectedly move in this crazy housing/interest rate market and in less than 24 hours after I reached out for her services she started showing us houses. It was her recommendations that got us our house over other bids and it's the perfect house for us. She knows Lake County extremely well and has lots of experience dealing with multi-bid situations. She listened to our needs and really searched for the perfect fit for us. If we have any buying/selling needs in the future we'll be working with her again."
