Client Testimonials

★★★★★
"I’ve known Pedro for many years so when I was ready to purchase my first investment property I naturally knew Pedro was the one I could trust to help guide me through the buying process. He is well experienced, driven and passionate about financial services and real estate. Pedro went above and beyond from day one! When I was sick he helped me schedule my inspection so that there would not be any delays in the process. He was on it and communicated effectively with everyone involved from the seller's agent, the lender, and my attorney to ensure I was taken care of. He was patient in answering many countless questions, fought to get me the best deal, and is transparent. His head is always in the game and he thinks ahead, providing tips to set you up for success. I highly recommend Pedro, whether you are looking to buy property, sell a home or even looking for an apartment! You can trust that he has your best interest in mind and will help you find the best fit for your needs."

"I've known Pedro for many years now and was always nervous to make the jump from renting to buying a home. We joke that I've been having this conversation with him for 8 years now. I was afraid of the responsibility of home ownership and a mortgage and always felt I wasn't ready. I also knew that this was me being scared of such a huge decision. I came back to this conversation with Pedro and he asked me great questions to re-evaluate my fears and shared his knowledge and experiences about financing and home ownership and those conversations really helped me take the leap. We jumped right into visiting Open Houses and understanding the MLS database. On Open Houses, he gave me great tips on what to look for, red flags, potential things I might need to fix, what to avoid, etc. He had an answer for everything and if he didn't have the answer, he knew a guy that did. I ended up finding something within a month or two of searching and Pedro was great with connecting me with a lawyer and provided lender recommendations. He was available for all the different questions I had - the lender process, what certain fees meant. He connected me with other resources that really helped me understand what I was signing off on. During the inspection process, Pedro was able to challenge things I hadn't considered, and that made me feel like I wasn't just another number. He is personable, knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling."

"Pedro should have his own show on HGTV! He designed, staged and sold our place all in the same week and then found us a new place the following week. I’ve never come across someone as passionate for what they do as Pedro! His real estate IQ is next level and we couldn’t be happier with the work he put forth. He has quick response time and precise answers, which is key in real estate. Needless to say we made the right choice by choosing him as our agent and would 100% choose him again for future ventures.” -

About Pedro

Reaching over a decade of real estate experience, Pedro Castaneda's career continues to evolve and thrive - just like Chicago!

Several hundred clients over the years have been happily served. His uncanny attention to detail alongside his eagerness for success helps him obtain the results his client’s thirst for. "Going above and beyond for my clients and hustling every single day for them to ensure a successful experience, is what drives me. What they need MATTERS to me!"

Pedro became a landlord well before becoming a real estate agent. He doesn't just talk the game; he plays the game! Owning property, real-life experience in property management and understanding tenant-landlord relationships is what helps him provide sound advice and ideas to some of his clientele who are also investors. Over the past 10 years he has also redeveloped and sold dozens of investment properties. His experience in construction adds to the prime differentiators from other real estate agents.

For almost a decade prior to becoming a licensed agent, he worked in banking and financial services gaining an in-depth knowledge in finance and the solid base in what has now become his life passion - real estate! His multifaceted sales experience has made this Chicago native stand apart from other realtors, considering himself more as an advisor to his clients. Each with their own set of goals, wants and needs. He loves to think outside the box and create strategies for both buyers and sellers. When it comes to investments, the numbers are what drives him to evaluate the asset and provide honest, constructive feedback, both on the asset and market trends for the short and long term.

Born on Chicago's Northwest Side, he grew up in the Old Irving neighborhood and has since moved over a dozen times in and around Chicago. He’s found excitement in experiencing different Chicago neighborhoods, while learning to appreciate the cultures, architectural beauty on each street, and heart of the people. And let's not forget the amazing food!
