"Nick was extraordinarily professional in every aspect of our real estate experience. I have dealt with many realtors in my life, but no one has come close to Nick. He is extremely responsive and will do everything in his power to provide you with the best possible service he can. I know I can be a very demanding person, but Nick was there every step of the way putting us at ease and making our experience as pleasant as possible. Thanks Nick- You Rock

"Nick is the best. A true professional. To say that I’m satisfied with his services is an understatement. Nick had an answer to all of our questions and often times anticipated our concerns by providing great advice and insight. He found exactly what we were looking for in our home and his negotiating skills sealed the deal. As good as the purchase went, he also sold our house for over listing price in 1 day! Without a doubt, Nick is the agent that will deliver an amazing home buying/selling experience.

"Working with Matthew to buy my house was a fantastic experience. From the first time I met him at an open house, he was genuine, honest, knowledgeable, patient, & attentive. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and any concerns I had. Whether it was by text, email, or a phone call; the timeliness of his responses were incredibly quick. I know with certainty that I would work with Matthew again and I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

"Courtney was a tremendous help in the process of finding my apartment. Her knowledge of Chicago and constant communication with me made the process of moving 100x more pleasant. She had an understanding of exactly what I was looking for and what was most important to me after our first conversation. Courtney went above and beyond to make this process as headache free and quick as possible- I would have been lost without her! Thank you Courtney!

"Katie is amazing. She is really friendly and easy to interact with. She was on top of the ball and contacted us about houses not even on the market yet in our ideal neighborhood. She had great recommendations for inspectors and kept in touch even after the home-buying process. At no point did we feel rushed in looking for or at homes. She was very patient and understanding and I will definitely work with her again should we ever move.

"Our first home buying experience was easy and enjoyable with the help of Logan and his team. Logan was knowledgeable about the homes, the area, and current market trends. We were shown multiple homes and never felt rushed or pressured to submit an offer. Logan was patient, forthcoming, and super responsive during the entire process. He gave us great advice and responded to texts/calls within minutes. We are very happy with all the help and rave about the service we received to all our friends. Thanks Logan!

"Patty was wonderful to work with from the first phone call until my closing. She was very accommodating around my scheduling needs and prepared for showings, which enabled us to be efficient throughout the process. Patty was respectful and patient as my preferences and needs changed. She shared useful insight throughout the stages of drafting and negotiating an offer, which helped especially in this seller's market. Compass has a wonderful network of professionals, which were invaluable for me as a first-time homebuyer. I was most satisfied with my experience working with Patty and her team at Compass!
