"Leigh Ann is terrific! We began our search for a home in the Chicagoland area with a broad focus. We found Leigh Ann to be a very patient, positive person and a keen listener. She very quickly developed an excellent sense of characteristics we were looking for in a new home, and showed us properties that exceeded our own expectations. She was amazingly prompt and responsive right from when we first met her all the way through to closing. As a first time home buyer, my wife and I weren't sure what to expect. But having Leigh Ann to guide us throughout the process worked like a charm. We would sincerely and unreservedly recommend Leigh Ann to anyone searching for a new home! Thank you Leigh Ann!"

"We worked with Leigh Ann to buy and sell and she is simply, the best.
We looked at houses on and off for years and she took the time to get to know us, what we were looking for, hand-picking listings she thought we might like and was always ready to show us the homes we wanted to see, sometimes multiple times. When we finally found the home we bought, we had to see it several times, ask for lots of details, ask for lots of advice and no matter what we needed, she was patient, enthusiastic and never pushy or "salesy" which was very important to us. She is genuine, accessible, knowledgable and just a fun person to spend hours with looking at houses. We spent countless hours together and after our process was over, I missed spending time with her! When we sold our home, she and her team were equally as helpful and easy to work with. They helped us figure out the staging and brought in some of their own pieces to make sure the house showed beautifully to prospective buyers. They provided advice on paint colors and the rooms that needed some TLC and the rooms that did not - they are a full-service team that will help as much or as little as the client wants - we needed a lot of advice on decisions regarding where to spend our budget and for this, we were so thankful. I cannot recommend Leigh Ann and the Hughes Home Team enough - I have 100% confidence that she/they are the best around!

"Leigh Ann helped my wife and I purchase our first condo and I cannot recommend her enough! From the start she was great at communicating with us and remembered even the small details we mentioned we were looking for in a home. She was very patient with us and answered all of our many questions. She is great with numbers and showed us the true affordability of the home is not only about sticker price. She and Michele showed us some great places that actually fit our budget.
Once we found a great home Leigh Ann assisted us tremendously all the way through to closing. Even through a pandemic, she kept the ball moving between our lender, attorney, and the seller’s agent and she was on point to prevent any snags in the process. We are fortunate to have found someone that lives and works in the Oak Park community to guide us into finding our new home.

"I was living downtown Chicago and toying with the idea of getting a single family home in the Oak Park area. Not being fully committed to the idea, I was doing my own recon through Zillow. Once I got a little more settled, it made sense to start talking to a Realtor®. Like everyone else, I have many friends that are in the industry and it was a matter of whom to choose.
Leigh Ann was a friend of a friend, an 'expert' in the area my home search took me. I met Leigh Ann and we went over a handful of talking points I had not considered and felt my Realtor® friends may not have either...given their expertise being downtown Chicago based. I immediately saw the value of having someone represent me that lives & works in Oak Park and surrounding cities.
The deeper I went into the process, the more impressed I became with LA's skill-set. Going through the offer negotiations and doing the heavy lifting with comp research is where I really realized what an amazing find I had working with me.
From our first conversation through today (closed 6 days ago), she is still involved and working with me on getting a special program with ADT. It is abundantly clear she is in this for the relationships and to help others find their dream home.
I have to give her my highest of high recommendations. When you go through this process, you have to be aligned with an expert! If anyone is looking within 20 miles of the Oak Park area, you will not be disappointed to work with Leigh Ann!

"Leigh Ann made the selling process very easy for me. She had a great suggestion on improvements to make to the home prior to selling to get the best value.
She staged my property so well I almost cancelled the sale because it looked so good I wanted to stay!
We moved out of town during the process and she took care of everything.
I highly recommend Leigh Ann to anyone interested in selling their property!
