Client Testimonials

“David and Faith put lots of time and effort into marketing and showcasing our house. They were very professional, knowledgeable and available. I highly recommend them.Rhonda, Buffalo Grove

★★★★★

“We reached out to David due to his deep knowledge of the area we were interested in moving to. David responded to m

y initial contact promptly, despite being on vacation with his family (talk about dedication!). He encouraged us to tour a house we were initially uncertain about, but boy am I glad we followed his guidance! That very house ended up being our perfect forever home! His experience buying and selling real estate in the neighborhood helped us craft a competitive offer and feel confident that we were on the right path. David and Faith were extremely responsive and easy to work with, both for our new home purchase and during the process of selling our previous house. Even with all the current volatility in the housing market, David and Faith made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. If you're looking to buy or sell property in the Arlington Heights or Buffalo Grove areas, you couldn't do better than Schwabe Group!Christine, Arlington Heights & Schaumburg

“Faith Gleeson was our Real Estate Agent for both the sale of our home of 17 years and the purchase of our new home. Faith is a true Real Estate professional, and just as importantly, she surrounds herself with a team of professional lawyers, lenders and home inspectors. The team interacts very well and is timely and responsive. Faith helped stage and show our home for sale and sold it in less than a week for full asking price. On the purchase of our new home, she was instrumental on the negotiation and closing of the deal. She negotiated both the sale closing and purchase closing to work out perfectly in our favor. She even helped follow up with questions we had about our new home after closing and move in. It was a pleasure working with Faith throughout the entire selling and buying process.” Russ, Barrington/Streamwood

★★★★★

“I cannot recommend David enough. He has a very proactive and compassionate approach to his clients which made the whole home searching process both enjoyable and quick. He was kind, fun, positive, but also very professional. His network and knowledge of the community really helped us close in on the deal. So if you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, look no further :) Karina, Mt Prospect

 

★★★★★

“We were recommended to David’s team because of his experience in the area. With the market that we’re in, we are so glad we did. David And Faith’s experience meant that they knew exactly when we should take the leap. David was able to provide guidance on how to make our home stand out in order to be sold quickly. Selling our home after buying was our biggest stressor, but in the end, we ended up closing our old house only 2 days after purchasing our new home.”  Karen, Arlington Heights & Buffalo Grove

 

★★★★★

“I recently worked with Faith and I highly recommend her. She provided exceptional service and exceeded my expectations throughout the entire home buying process. Faith is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and tailored her search to find me and my partner the perfect home. Even while on vacation, she made herself available and worked tirelessly to secure the best deal for us. Communication was excellent with prompt responses and updates. I felt informed and well taken care of every step of the way. If you’re looking for a realtor who goes up above and beyond, I highly recommend Faith!” Hannah, Vernon Hills

★★★★★

“We recently worked with David Schwabe and his group to sell our home, but they did so much more than just that. David met with us early on in the process to discuss strategy and timing. He provided us with solid data and insights that helped us create a sound marketing plan for selling our home. His team advised on staging, took exceptional photography and planned the listing to maximize interest in our home. We were fortunate enough to receive multiple offers, and when our first offer started to get cold feet, David advised us to make the right call to move on to our next offer. Ultimately, we hit our goal and believe our old home is now in the hands of a very deserving family. This was our first time selling a home. We had lived there for nearly 20 years. David and his team were empathetic throughout the entire process, taking calls and texts at odd hours of the day, willing to spend the extra time to explain things to us and put us at ease. They are very organized and helped remove stress wherever possible. I would highly recommend working with David Schwabe and his team!” Thomas, Prospect Heights


★★★★★

“David did an awesome job helping sell my Dad's house. It was an older, needing lots updating, staging, and quite a bit of TLC (and patience) to get it over the finish line, but we got there thanks to David and his team. Whether in referring stagers or other services, providing guidance on pricing and market conditions, or clear communication throughout the process, he was a true professional in all aspects of the sale. And we came out with a better closing price than we anticipated, despite numerous late-breaking surprises (water in the basement, anyone?) that could have thwarted the deal. Matt, Palatine

★★★★★

“David and Faith were amazing to work with! From our first meeting through the final walk-through and everything in between, the entire experience was so professional and flawless. David has so much knowledge that he willingly shares and I know that all his expertise and his approach to selling our home from staging through negotiations made a tremendous difference in our final selling price. David was so easy to work with and communication was always prompt and helpful. Just an incredible experience all around. Many thanks to David and his team.”  Kathy, Arlington Heights

★★★★★

“I bought my first home in Arlington Heights through David. We really need a house very quickly, and I was able to buy a house in about one month. David was always responsive, taking calls at any time, responding to my messages in minutes. David was humorous, cordial, kind, always smiling, and thoughtful in addressing all kinds of concerns. I will be eternally grateful to David. Thanks David! All the best.” Heo, Arlington Heights

★★★★★

“David and his team were excellent. His knowledge of the Arlington Heights area and connections to other professionals made our home buying experience very smooth. His communication was very timely and made sure to explain any detail of the process we had questions about. I would recommend David to anyone looking to buy a home!” Matt, Arlington Heights

★★★★★

“Can’t say enough good things about working with David and his team. David was dedicated to finding us our home and very responsive to our questions. He was always on time to showings, and was very accommodating to our schedule. The house we ended up purchasing was initially outside of our search parameters, but David went the extra mile to make it a possibility for us. Would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a home in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.” Zack, Arlington Heights

★★★★★

“Faith was just a rockstar with helping us not only find our new home (and beat multiple other offers) but getting offers on our current one swiftly! Her years of experience and professionalism are bar none, and her patience and kindness are outmatched. She was also able to introduce us to a team of experts that went to bat for us and allowed us to have an excellent experience in every possible area. I cannot recommend Faith Gleeson enough!” Leanne, Palatine & Rolling Meadows

★★★★★

“Mark was amazing. He knows the Buffalo Grove the area really well and was able to give any potential buyers an amazing story about my house. He asked questions about memories of the house and certain rooms. He used that to info when working the open house. Mark is also very responsive and communicates well. You can't go wrong using him for the sale or purchase of your next home.Scott, Buffalo Grove

★★★★★

★★★★★

“Henry did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our first house. He was very friendly, responsive, and always made himself available to show us new listings. Henry would do weekly check-ins and answer any questions we had every step of the way. We would use him again and recommend him as a realtor. Thanks so much for helping us find our first home, Henry!Dana, Mount Prospect

★★★★★

“Working with Dave and his team at the Schwabe Group was an absolute pleasure, and their expertise in the real estate market exceeded our expectations. One aspect that truly stood out was Dave's invaluable advice on how to update our house before putting it on the market for sale. He provided expert recommendations on paint colors and carpeting, as well as insightful suggestions on what changes would make our house look its absolute best. Additionally, Dave was instrumental in providing us with a list of reputable contractors who could handle the necessary work, including painting, flooring, staging, and cleaning. The results were outstanding. The house looked so incredibly good that we regretted not having done the updates sooner. Thanks to Dave's guidance and attention to detail, we received multiple offers within the first weekend the house was listed. The exceptional outcome of the sale was undoubtedly a testament to Dave's expertise and commitment to ensuring our success.
Not only is Dave a consummate professional, but he is also an absolute joy to work with. His enthusiasm, dedication, and genuine care for his clients make the entire experience of selling a house enjoyable and stress-free. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Dave Schwabe and the Schwabe Group for any real estate needs. Their knowledge, guidance, and exceptional service truly set them apart.” Mike, Schaumburg

★★★★★

“Dave, Faith and the Schwabe Group were great to work with. They helped us find a great new home and priced/prepped our existing home to solicit multiple offers! We ended up selling above our listing price, which was a pleasant surprise. I'm sure we'll be working with the Schwabe Group again in the future!” John, Buffalo Grove

★★★★★

“Dave made the process of home-buying fun and less stressful! He and his team stepped in and finalized items outside of their process to get the sale closed for us. Their cheerful dispositions, knowledge, and expertise made the entire experience a very positive one. They were quick to respond to any and all questions. I would work with Dave again - 100% recommend!” Michelle, Bartlett

★★★★★

“Krysti is the best! We worked together to list my family's estate home in Mount Prospect. She knows the Mount Prospect area perfectly. For example, she told us that Hersey High School draws many buyers to the area--something we were not aware of because we live in Dallas. When she tied this fact to the fact that there were essentially no other well-maintained single-family homes in the area for sale in our price range, her presentation gave us significant confidence in the price we were asking. Further, she advised us to take up the tired old carpeting to expose the quality hardwoods that were underneath. Her team found an excellent floor refinishing company at a good price. Once the clean hardwoods were showing, Kryti's team staged the house with lighting fixtures and contemporary furniture that appealed to our target market--young first-time homebuyers. She told me what to expect from other players such as the real estate attorneys, the buyers agents and even the banks (I had to set up an account for my family's trust). She knows how to respond to various offers in a manner which respects all parties. Her support team will stage your home so that it looks great, photograph it in a way that produces a virtual walkthrough for prospective buyers, and publish the home's availability in a strategic manner to reach buyers' agents and your target market. To take advantage of the good October weather, Krysti and her team hustled to get that house ready to show--we signed the listing agreement on September 21 and the house was cleaned, staged and listed by October 5. Once the house was listed, Krysti was able to tell me where prospective buyers lingered as they did a virtual walkthrough of the house--explaining that when browsers linger on certain parts of the house as they view the photos it can mean excitement or concern. She also scheduled many open house events. Finally, Krysti never loses sight of your financial goals AND she is about the nicest person you will ever meet.James, Mount Prospect

“We used David to help us buy our “forever” home in Arlington Heights and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to the same! We were buying during a VERY competitive time in the market and David helped ensure we put in the best (but also realistic and fair to us as buyers) offer which ultimately won us our dream home! The process was flawless from start to finish and he was responsive and helpful the whole time. I would highly recommend David to anyone!Patrick, Arlington Heights

She not only went above and beyond to make every apt and find us our perfect home but she was so patient throughout. We cannot recommend her enough. Please go to her with all your home search needs!!Erin, Hoffman Estates

★★★★★

“If you’re looking for a super hard working, caring, patient realtor, look no further than Krysti! Krysti was unbelievably helpful in our home search which was no easy task. I was looking for an out of the box house and she was so positive and patient as we looked at houses for over 6 months before finding out dream home! I was so thankful to have a realtor who wanted to find our dream home just as much as we did! She continued to push us to find a house we loved instead of settling for ones that we could live with. I would highly recommend Krysti to anyone looking for a home or looking to sell their home! She will make your experience so much easier and more enjoyable! Thank you Krysti!!Marissa, Lake Barrington

“We have been working with David Schwabe in the Arlington Heights area since 2007 and we just listed and sold our 3rd property with him in 2021. We've been fortunate to capitalize upon David's depth of market knowledge in the NW Suburban Chicago area. He and his team are always responsive, personable and show attention to detail. In one such instance, it was a dreary day when the photographer arrived to take the listing photos, but his team member went back to take a photo of the outside of our property on a sunny day for cheery curb appeal. Real estate transactions have the potential to be stressful, but our experiences have always been a breeze with David.  Elina, Arlington Heights

“Faith has been the most patient, responsive and knowledgeable agent we've worked with. Over the last few years, we've asked her to represent us as both sellers and buyers, when the housing market was both down and up.
