"Couldn't more highly recommend a realtor to help you find your next place. Sugandhi was completely thoughtful, thorough, and went above and beyond to make sure that our next home was safe, while meeting our needs.

When looking for our next apartment, we had a condensed timeline in which to search for a place, sign a lease, and then move (about 3 months). Sugandhi met with my wife and I to understand our situation. She explained nuances of the market in ways that were very relieving and in short order was presenting us with some relevant listings that were really encouraging right away.

When we were ready, Sugandhi traveled with us all over Chicago on visits and open houses. We saw a plethora of places and as we went she encouraged us to keep an open mind but to not settle for a place that didn't work for us and our family. Eventually, she found a place for us that was perfect. She shepherded us through the application process expeditiously and even after we signed connected us with movers to help smooth our transition.

She exceeded her role even after the fact; contacting the build team for our new place and offering advice and her insight when we did run into some unforeseen and unforeseeable friction after we moved in. She's been amazing and invaluable every step of the way. If you find somebody better than her, there's a trick to it! - Renter

"Sugandhi is a great realtor! This is the second time my girlfriend and I have worked with her to find an apartment in Chicago. We originally rented a studio as a starter apartment, but now we wanted to find a bigger place to accommodate two people and a cat. Despite management companies being difficult to schedule and communicate with, Sugandhi made the process so much smoother. She is efficient, professional, and a delight to work with. Our new place is amazing and spacious, we can't recommend her enough. Thanks Sugandhi! - Renter

"Moving my aunt to assisted living and selling her condo after her dementia diagnosis was an emotional undertaking for my mother and I. Sugandhi was patient and responsive as well as was sensitive to and respectful of cultural and generational differences throughout the entire process. She kept us updated and informed at every step, so my mother and I are confident that we made the best decisions for my aunt. We are so grateful for Sugandhi's help and guidance in selling my aunt's condo." - Seller

"I cannot recommend Sugandhi enough! She was an absolute godsend. Working with her made the entire process of finding a condo rental in Chicago not only possible, but stress-free.
• She LISTENED to my needs and preferences. From location to amenities, Sugandhi never tried to push me toward something that didn’t match my criteria.
• Her PATIENCE was key! I didn’t love every place we saw, but Sugandhi remained supportive.
• She SIMPLIFIED everything: scheduling showings, connecting with leasing agents, handling negotiations—she took care of it all.
• Exceptional communication and follow-through: Even when she was out of town, she ensured everything kept moving smoothly and answered every question I had. She didn’t disappear after the lease was signed either; she stayed in touch to make sure all the details were covered.
Without a doubt, working with Sugandhi was one of the best decisions I made. I’d recommend her to my friends, colleagues, and anyone looking for a smooth, hassle-free rental search!

"Sugandhi was everything I could have hoped for and more in a realtor! She helped me navigate the first time home buying process and was crucial in my successful purchase of a condo in my dream location. She was very attentive and made sure to advocate for my personal home buying wants and needs. She was also quick to meet at various listings and made sure that I never was waiting for her schedule. She went above and beyond getting me in to see some places on short notice and in inclement weather conditions.
Overall, Sugandhi made my home buying process as painless and smooth as it could have been. I highly recommend working with her!

"Sugandhi found me an amazing apartment at a great value that I couldn't be happier with. I was moving to Chicago from out of state and nervous about doing so without seeing places in person, but Sugandhi calmed my nerves by being so responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process. " - Renter

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Sugandhi was instrumental in my apartment search. We originally met virtually as I was moving from out of state and went over my wants and expectations in my apartment. Within a day Sugandhi had found multiple apartments that fit my criteria. I came to Chicago to tour units a week later and Sugandhi worked diligently to schedule tours while I was in town. That day, I toured the perfect apartment and signed the lease only 2 days later. Sugandhi was professional and efficient, and found me the perfect apartment in the perfect location. She was very easy to get in touch with and responded quickly, and even communicated to the leasing office when I had some issues getting in touch with them. She has also stayed in touch beyond my move and has been so incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She truly has gone above and beyond all my expectations. I cannot recommend her enough! " - Renter

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sugandhi Chugani to rent out our condo in Evanston. Sugandhi is passionate and was full of energy and never missed a beat during the whole process, despite a tough market. She was able to react quickly based on the market (which was slow) and came up with several alternate approaches which worked for us. Throughout the process, she kept us in the loop while making our decision making process super easy. She also worked with our tenant and a handyman through this process making it super easy for us. Overall a fantastic realtor, hands down the best we have worked with over past 10 years. We will work with Sugandhi again in a heart beat and recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor." - Landlord

"It was great working with Sugandhi to find an apartment. I gave her a list of what I wanted, and within a day I was getting listings, the next week we viewed the best ones, and I had a signed lease shortly after. She made the process easy and knew a lot about the different neighborhoods, which was nice for someone coming from outside the city." - Renter

"We had a wonderful experience with Sugandhi. She guided us on each and every step along this journey and went out of her way to ensure we were meeting various contractual obligations. We highly recommend Sugandhi as your agent. She was absolutely necessary for this process. Please reach out to her for your home search and for a smooth closing." - Buyer

"Sugandhi is great to work with! She really helped me out when searching for an apartment. Even though I was rejected from one place, she dove in to help me find another place that still met my preferences. She answered my questions and always got back to me if she didn't know the answer right away. I 100% recommend working with Sugandhi, she's awesome!" - Renter

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I had a wonderful experience with Sugandhi. She took me to see homes and offered to join me for every open house I wanted to see. She researched the properties we saw and helped me ask all the right questions. But what was most important to me was how friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with Sugandhi is. She responded quickly to my calls, emails, and text messages and was always available to answer all my questions. I am grateful for all the help through this long, stressful, yet exciting process." - Buyer

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Sugandhi is attentive, quick, extremely knowledgeable of Chicago neighborhoods, and I would highly recommend working with her on a rental or sale/purchase. She helped me out in a pinch with a last-minute rental and was able to quickly pull together several great options and arranged showings quickly to accommodate my short timeline. I was able to secure a new spot in a great neighborhood and move in next week! Sugandhi and I were colleagues at a previous job - she was always professional, highly efficient, and wonderful to work with, so I was confident I could also trust her as a realtor. She did not disappoint! 10/10 would recommend!" - Renter

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Sugandhi is an incredible agent, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or rent in the Chicago area! Her diligence and personalized effort in understanding our exact likes and dislikes and setting up viewings and tailoring recommendations made us feel like her only clients. Sugandhi is so kind, energetic, and sweet that she made a full day of viewings very enjoyable, including a coffee stop that we still talk about today! In short, her preparation, professionalism, guidance, proactiveness, and service are top class, and you will be in great hands with Sugandhi! We will certainly be partnering with her again when looking to buy our next property!" - Renter

"Sugandhi was a great help! I would definitely recommend working with Sugandhi especially for first time home buyers. She was always willing to help me and my family and would answer any questions that we have. She took the time to understand what we wanted and our needs and was very adaptable to many changes in our plans and preferences. Sugandhi always made sure we knew what the next steps were in the process and was always available to talk. She was always smiling and positive, assuring us multiple times along the way. We got really lucky to find her! She’s really the best agent to go to! I highly recommend!" - Buyer
