“I am so glad I hired Jeff! As a first time home buyer (and single person) the prospect of finding and buying a condo on my own was very intimidating. But Jeff made everything understandable (he basically gave me a crash course in home buying), and greatly simplified things by acting a loan officer and recommending an excellent inspector. He quickly understood what I was looking for and helped me find a wonderful place in an ideal location much much sooner than I expected. And then the buying process–from offer to closing–went off without a hitch.

Jeff was awesome to work with through out–patient, diligent, and generous with his time (plus, he did all the driving). I couldn’t be more pleased and would enthusiastically recommend Jeff.”

Happy Buyer

“My wife and I hired Jeff earlier this year to find a new home in the suburbs. We had a pretty complicated situation, as we can live pretty much anywhere in Northern Illinois, and weren’t sure where we wanted to live. Jeff helped us identify what was important to us, and also got us pre-qualified for our loan, so that we were ready to buy. Jeff was flexible and really easy to work with, and helped us find a great house in a hot neighborhood. Additionally, he helped us negotiate a price below what the seller was asking, and got us an additional $3500 closing credit, which is unheard of in this market.

As I mentioned, Jeff also did our loan. The process was quick and easy, and the closing went smoothly. If you’re looking for a great buyer’s agent that can help you with the entire process, that also has awesome negotiating skills to help you get the best deal, Jeff is your guy! Trust me, call him now and hire him. You’ll be glad you did!”
