“Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with! He is very personable and a total professional. We have a five month old daughter and outgrew our condo in the city. As a first-time seller, Sam was thorough and incredibly helpful at explaining the selling process as well as having an in-depth understanding of the marketplace. He talked us through all deal points of the contract, making us feel comfortable and ensuring we understood the contract (along with the negotiation process before we were under contract). In our previous experience during the home buying process, we worked with other realtors who seemingly glossed over important details just so the deal could close. Sam blows these other realtors out of the water. He was incredibly thorough and detail oriented with us. He was always available to answer any question. He treated my wife and myself with respect and kindness. Sam successfully sold our condo for our asking price. We were absolutely blown away by his work and his professionalism and would love to work with him in the future.”
“We had an exceptional experience working with Sam during the sale of our condo in Chicago. We worked with him to buy originally, and it was such a great experience that we knew we needed his help again to sell our place when the time came. Because of his expertise and understanding of the local market, we had five offers within a day of listing, and all were well over asking price. Sam's professionalism, responsiveness, and negotiation skills made the process smooth and stress-free. There was little we needed to do, as Sam really gave us a white-glove approach throughout the whole process. He helped answer any and all questions, big or small, at all hours of the day. He even helped negotiate selling some of our furniture as well! Now that we officially closed, we're actually sad to not be working with him anymore. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam to anyone seeking a top-notch real estate agent in Chicago. He is THE BEST in the city. Thank you Sam for everything!!!!”
“Our experience with Sam was fantastic. From the initial search to the final closing, he provided invaluable guidance and support. Sam took the time to educate us on every step of the home buying process. As newcomers to the city, his detailed overview of various neighborhoods helped us narrow down our search to areas that aligned perfectly with our needs and preferences. Sam is incredibly well-connected within the industry. He effortlessly facilitated connections with a lender, attorney, inspector, and any other professionals we required throughout the process. He was always available to address any questions or concerns promptly, keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. We are immensely grateful for his assistance throughout the entire process.”
“We were so lucky to have been referred to Sam. We were looking to move to Chicago from out of state. Given the state of the hot real estate market, Sam really did all the work for us. He was our eyes and ears. He was on top of everything no matter time of day or day of week. He is an absolute professional and it would be hard to find someone more knowledgeable about the Chicago market than Sam. He was there for us every step of the way! There is no question, everyone we know looking for a realtor in Chicago will get Sam’s name!”
“Sam helped us purchase our first home in the northwest suburbs! He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market, placing an offer, and letting us know his honest thoughts about each property we saw, and he will absolutely go the extra mile for you like he did for us many times! He also answered all of our questions throughout the process as we had quite a few as first time homebuyers! We are so thankful we were recommended Sam and we would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking to buy in Chicago or the suburbs!”
