"Kate is a wealth of knowledge and experience. She and her team made buying our first home smooth and painless for my husband and I, even though the condo and purchasing situation were a bit unusual. She negotiated us a better deal than we had thought possible and brought in a fantastic inspector for multiple visits to make sure we were making the right decision. Kate was available to answer any and all of our questions day or night. "

"Working with Kate was a huge blessing. I'm not from the Chicago area, so I needed a realtor who was trustworthy, knowledgeable, and amazing at what they do. Kate was all of these! She was able to work with me despite me having to go through the home-buying process long-distance (from NY). She has a team of trusted people who have worked with her in the past and everyone she recommended to me was also great and easy to work with. According to friends and family, my home-buying process has been one of the smoothest one in the books, and I think this is in large part due to Kate. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great realtor and will be recommending her to everyone I know!" - Nayara

"Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with! Kate went above and beyond to show us whatever we wanted to see, whenever we wanted to see it, and had great background knowledge about the neighborhood. She asked the selling agents all the right questions and helped us find our dream home. She was available any time to answer our questions and was so supportive. Kate will always be a lifelong friend now!" - Liz

"I had visited a few homes with a couple of different realtors and was not able to land an apartment. Then I came across Kate and we visited a property. It was perfect for me. She invited me to her office and we sat down and drew up an offer that landed me the apartment within days. She was my “momma bear”. I really appreciate her handling the negotiations and putting me in a good position in the years to come. I would recommend her to anyone looking to close on a property." - Angel
