"I had a phenomenal time working with Nate - he did a great job of not only keeping me up to date on the process and responding to any of my many questions quickly, but he also managed to negotiate a great price from the seller. We managed to bid under listing and Nate worked his magic to make it happen! I would highly recommend anyone to work with Nate; beyond his expertise in the space, Nate also considered top of mind what I wanted out of a home and listened to my priorities throughout the process to make sure that the house we purchased fit what I wanted out of a home and was at a price I felt comfortable with. While looking for homes, Nate shared tips on how to approach the listings to get the best homes for my budget. What I found even more remarkable was how much Nate did to help manage the seller so that all the to-dos leading up to and following closing happened as expected. Even now that the home buying process is over, Nate is and has been fantastically helpful in finding the right trusted contractors to do the work I want to do on the house to make it shine. I can't overstate my recommendation of Nate for anyone looking to buy a home."

"Julie Block is the best realtor we have worked with and we have moved over 10 times in major metropolitan areas. Julie did an outstanding job in every respect selling our home and outperformed our high expectations. Julie priced the home perfectly and gave expert advice on what to do (and not do) to show the house in its best light. Julie has amazing attention to detail and was dedicated and attentive to our questions and needs throughout the process. What sets Julie apart from others is that she really cares about her clients and it shows. We were not just a sale to her, she understands the stresses of moving and selling and was beyond compassionate and respectful of our family’s needs. Thanks to Julie, we were able to sell the home at the asking price in two days using just a pocket listing. Julie then helped us through the closing process, which was seamless, thanks to her, and even helped us find a beautiful well-priced new home to rent in an incredibly tight market. We are forever grateful to Julie for her A+ service and her expertise. We highly recommend her to all of our friends."

"I had a wonderful experience working with Julie Nerenberg Block on the sale of my Lakeview single-family home. Julie is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market and guided my husband and me through the sales process from beginning to end. Julie shows you exactly what to do to prepare your home for the market, knocks it out of the park with photos and marketing material, prices appropriately, negotiates in an aggressive yet respectful manner, and makes certain you have a responsive liaison through the inspection and closing process between buyers, buyers agent, and lawyers. Let's face it. Selling your home is a stressful process and can get very emotional. Julie was the voice of reason and an intelligent, calming influence that got us through to the finish line. On top of everything else, Julie is warm, kind, and a very fun person to be around! Thank you, Julie, for a terrific experience!"

"Since closing on my condo in 30 days with no stress and full confidence in my realtor, Lucia, I can say there is no other firm I would use in Chicago than Lucia Steinwold.

"Since closing on my condo in 30 days with no stress and full confidence in my realtor, Lucia, I can say there is no other firm I would use in Chicago than Lucia Steinwold. Lucia returns questions promptly by phone, text, or email. Even beyond closing, Lucia provided excellent recommendations for contractors and resources to get me started as I explored remodeling. As a bonus, she has excellent taste and knows the process firsthand. I provided my enthusiastic recommendation and recently led a friend to Lucia who successfully sold their home in the suburbs in just 2 months after it had been on the market for 2 years. They were thrilled! This showcases Lucia’s tailored use of data analytics, social media, expert staging, and access to a wide pool of buyers during the process. Lucia is exceptional, timely, and understands her client's needs."
