Levan and Kimberly
"Chuck - We cannot thank you enough for all the help you gave us in finding our place in the South Loop. This is great, it takes about 15 minutes to get to work via train and about 10 minutes via driving or cab. Kimberly has been out almost everyday riding her bike on the Lake Front. She even participated in the Ride the Lake event this past week. "

Will & Leah
"Joyful experience. Both of us work in the south suburbs but lived in the Chicago - Humboldt Park neighborhood. We had been wanting to buy a home close to work but didn't have much knowledge about the south suburbs. Even though Tony was not overly familiar with the south suburbs he researched each suburbs trends and patterns, listened to our wants and needs, and was dedicated to finding us a home.

After looking at over 30 homes, we finally found "the one." Tony walked us through all the steps, from the first bid to what to expect the day of closing. We are truly grateful that we choose Tony as our Realtor, he made buying a home a joyful experience."

"Working with Jeff at Best Chicago Properties is the best decision we could have made in searching for our first home. Jeff was both friendly and professional, and his knowledge of the Chicago real estate market was exceptional. He devoted a huge amount of time to helping us find the perfect property, and it was always clear he had our best interests at heart. Everything about our experience with Jeff and Best Chicago Properties was great and we would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in Chicago."

Jessica - University Village
"We had the pleasure of having Chuck as our real estate agent. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about many areas of the city, but also he was extrememly hard working and friendly. We didn't know much about the city when we moved here, but Chuck made our transition an easy one. He handled all aspects of our rental with pure professionalism and always answered all of our questions in a timely manner. He even showed us around the city and informed us of festivals, parades, etc, that normally take place in our area and in the city. We would happily choose Chuck in the future for any real estate matters, and we will be sure to recommed him to all of our friends!!!!!!!!! "

Madeline and Larry - South Loop
"I would strongly recommend Chuck to anyone looking to purchase or rent properties in Chicago. He is very knowledgeable, honest and 100% dedicated to making sure his clients find exactly what they want. I was searching for a condo in the loop and found the entire process to be very stressful until I started working with Chuck. He made the process much easier and I had no doubt that he would find me the perfect place. I am now living in a beautiful south loop condo and couldn't be happier!"

"Mike was fantastic when I was looking to buy my first place. He's thorough, smart, and best of all -- patient. I couldn't be happier with the condo I finally bought, and I couldn't be happier with the help Mike gave me at every step of the way. I highly recommend Mike as an agent!"

Kelvin - West Loop
"This was my first time buying a place and I was very uncertain about the process and what all needed to be done to do this. Luckily I ran into Jeff at one of his showings. He offered to help me out and aid me through the process. He was very professional and personal which made the home shopping very easy. He walked me through all the forms and what to keep an eye out for when shopping around. He is a very charismatic, honest, and patient person. Not once did I feel pressured to buying any place. He wanted me to be certain and feel confident about my decision. I would recommend Jeff to anyone I know who is looking for a new place. Thank you Jeff for everything!"

Sairam and Amal R
"Working with Chuck has been extremely fruitful from our side. His integrity stands out as the most striking character as we never had to worry about being under represented. His knowledge of the area and his dexterity with the process actually helped sell our place in a record time when the market conditions have been extremely scary. I was very pleased to know that our unit sold ahead of 8 other units listed at the same time. We would definitely work with Chuck again!"

"Having been in the suburbs for many years, we were very happy with the Chuck's knowledge and experience in helping us locate a home in the downtown Chicago area. He worked with us on targeting areas and listened to us to quickly meet our needs and not waste any time. We were completely satisfied with the service Chuck provided and we are quite happy with our purchase. We would recommend Chuck to anyone looking to purchase property in the downtown Chicago Area. It was a pleasure to work with him."

Chris & Nicole - Margate Park
"Chris and I have had a lot on our minds this year. With job searching for me, a hurried condo search, and a big marriage set for September, we really haven't had any time to burn. Jeff's presence in the process was a God-send. He honestly answered every question we had and guided us safely through the turmoil of this shaky housing market. His solid experience, flawless matchmaking skills, and calming demeanor made the process very smooth and enjoyable. He'll be the first one we call if we need further real estate services."

Liz & Dean - Lakeview & West Loop
"As we were preparing to get married, we met Jeff at a showing of a property as we were considering selling each of our properties and purchasing one together. Previously we had been successful selling/buying property without a Realtor. Jeff's understanding of the Chicago market (even in the current challenging times), professionalism, honesty and superb personal service convinced us to contract with him for all three transactions. The result was a sale in 10 days at 98% of listing price, a sale in 8 weeks at 99% of listing price and the purchase of a magnificent home in the West Loop. Jeff made believers of us in using a GREAT Realtor. In this market you need an exceptional agent. We would highly recommend Jeff for any real estate transactions."

Rachel P.
"I worked with Chuck as a first time home buyer in the winter of 2008. Let me start out by saying that I am now writing this from my fabulous condo in the South Loop that Chuck helped me to find!! Needless to say I could not be happier with my purchase. Chuck listened to what I was looking for and showed me a great selection. He had a laid back and no pressure attitude toward me as a buyer when looking, and a no-nonsense, hardnosed attitude when helping to handle my sale. In a bidding war you want an agent that knows what to do, and no doubt Chuck's expertise helped me to 'win the war' and walk away with a fairly priced unit. Yeah Chuck!!"

Allison M.
"Working with Chuck was easy. He is very knowledgeable about the South Loop, where I was looking. He has in depth information about individual buildings: their problems, management companies, etc. Anything he didn't know off the top of his head, he found out and got back to me quickly. He worked with me to help me find the right place without wasting any time on properties that were not in my budget. I would definitely work with Chuck again."

Kate N.
"Chuck is one of the most patient and helpful realtors I have come across. As a first time buyer, I had questions about anything and everything. He is on the ball with all the latest developments in Chicago whether it be a great deal or being able to provide information on the ever-changing real estate laws. Chuck does a thorough job with his research and is very attentive to what his buyers are looking for. He went above and beyond - thank you Chuck!!"

Emily and Lynn
"When we moved from Tampa to Chicago we became frustrated looking at property. We had a very short time to find a place to live. Chuck helped us get a great deal on a fantastic corner unit in the West Loop. We had become discouraged and thought that the builder would not accept our offer. However, Chuck was very positive and encouraged us to place an offer. He helped us every step of the way .Without Chuck's encouragement I am sure we'd have settled for a property we did not like as well. We'd love to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future."

Adam B.
"Chuck was very professional and yet extremely fun to work with while shopping for my condo. He was always very accommodating to my schedule even though he had multiple clients. The thing I remember most about Chuck is every time we saw a new property he had his list of questions, like any agent. However, at least once at every property we would visit the selling agent would say, "That's a really good question I have never been asked that before. I will try and find you an answer." At first I thought maybe previous buyer agents just were not as knowledgeable as Chuck. But after it happened multiple times I decided that Chuck is just one of, if not, the best. I recommended him to anyone I know who is shopping for a home in Chicago."

Amy G.
"About a year and a half ago, I decided to take the plunge and move from a renter to a buyer. When I say I had no idea where to begin would be an understatement. I went to Chuck because I knew he would be able to be patient with me and help me to understand the whole process. I was about ready to make an offer on a place I liked, and he helped me realize that it probably would not be the right thing to do. He was right. I ended up finding a place that I liked better and that was WAY more in my price range. He still touches base with me to make sure everything is going well, and I appreciate that. I also take comfort in the fact that he is still there to answer any questions I have. He is not one of those realtors that disappear once the sale is done. You can count on him."

"Chuck is a true professional. I met Chuck at an open house and was very impressed by his easy-going approach towards prospective buyers. He was extremely knowledgeable and, as a broker, was an ideal match for a first time buyer like myself. I tried looking on my own for a while, but Chuck was able to quickly understand what I was looking for and find me a few units that were a great fit for me personally, rather than just trying to make a sale. Chuck found me a great home that met ALL of my requirements and was within my budget. He's the best!"

Jeff listened to what we wanted, made very helpful suggestions and worked extremely hard until we found exactly the right place for us.

Now whenever somebody tells me they are thinking about moving to Chicago I tell them their first call should be to Jeff!!"

Mary - Lincoln Park
"Jeff is both a very knowledgeable professional and a great person to work with. In a very difficult market, Jeff carefully monitored conditions and gave me excellent advice on staging and pricing for my condo. When I ultimately decided to rent my condo rather than sell it because of the economic climate, Jeff quickly found excellent tenants. He truly believes in providing personal service and handles showings and open houses personally. Jeff showed great judgment in weeding out prospective renters and buyers who were looking for a steal and would only waste my time, and was thoroughly honest and candid in all matters. I definitely will call Jeff when it is time to sell my condo, and will readily recommend him to anyone looking for a Realtor."

Don - West Loop
"Working with Best Chicago Properties and Jeff on the sale of my home was a breeze. He was very thorough and went the extra mile to explain contract details, ramifications and potential conflicts.
Before entering into an agreement Jeff made sure he understood my sales objectives, what would be acceptable and any nuisances that I had. He did a realistic analysis of comparable properties that had sold and were on the market. We discussed market conditions and timing.

Jeff then set out to find the right potential buyers and didn't waste my time with repetitive questions or casual prospects. In one of the most difficult real estate markets in many years, we got a fair price in a surprisingly short period of time. The sale closed without a hitch.

I experienced none of the horror stories that have been floated during this down market with turbulent financing.

I would highly recommend Best Chicago Properties and Jeff to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. They will not give you false hopes or unrealistic expectations."

Ian & Rana - West Loop

When we wanted to purchase a second property Jeff was very patient and courteous to our needs taking us to a variety of properties all over Chicago. He found us the perfect place and made the rest of the process easy!

Thank you again Jeff for your hard work and dedication in making other people happy. We would recommend your skill, dedication and professionalism to future buyer and/or sellers."

Your advice was greatly appreciated and we felt confident that our home was in great hands with you. The selling process was painless and we can't thank you enough!"

Craig - Lakeview
"Jeff, I wanted to write to thank you for your top-notch talent and above-and-beyond support in selling my condo. I've worked with many realtors over the years and you are by far, the best. While I'm sure you don't have a large number of clients that buy a condo and then sell it within the course of six months, you were gracious, supportive, and responded well to my desire to make a profit, even after such a short ownership tenure. The fact that we had a signed offer within days of listing, at the selling price that I wanted, is nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for being so good at what you do. If and when I buy real estate in Chicago, you're definitely the first person that I'll call. "

"Shoji and I wanted to write and say thank you for the guidance you provided us through this adventure of choosing and purchasing our first home. I have to say I was quite skeptical of the whole process at first, thinking most Realtors we met would be like telemarketers or used car salesmen in their tactics, but you were nothing of the kind and answered all our questions honestly and objectively. I don't think Shoji and I would have felt ready to make such a huge purchase if we didn't have someone like you guiding us through the process."

We had looked around at properties with other agents over the past couple of years, but nobody had shown us anyplace that felt special enough that we would want to make it our home. When we met Jeff, our luck changed! He understood what we were looking for, and knew what kind of a home would be right us--maybe even better than we did ourselves. Jeff's trusted advice and unflagging enthusiasm helped guide us through the intimidating process of buying our first condo, and we are so delighted with our new home!"

Jeff took on my lastest niche-market vintage property in a neighborhood where he hadn't worked very much in the past - and sold the unit in 20 days (January 2006) for 98% of list price, a record high for that type of unit in the building. I now consult with him on future properties and will continue to work with him because he does everything right and gets the job done."

When you came on board, we felt you were really interested in selling our unit and gave us extremely beneficial professional advice. You designed promotional material did a great job of highlighting the benefits of our condo. Your program for marketing also worked well and within a short time our unit was sold.

One of the things we appreciated the most was your constant feedback to any sales opportunity. We felt we were fully informed at all times. I can't tell you how much that meant to us in feeling confident that we chose the right Realtor. And obviously we did! Everything worked out well and we're now where we want to be at the right time and with everything we hoped to have. We can't thank you enough!"
