What My Clients Have To Say

  • Erik has renewed my faith in realtors, which I must admit had become quite scarred and cynical, in the past, after experiencing many soured dealings. But when I found myself needing to purchase a home, via long distance in a short amount of time, I decided to contact Dream Town Realty and got Erik - who in turn got me. He patiently served all my idiosyncrasies, all with a laidback and helpful attitude. But most importantly, he found me the perfect home. It sounds cliché, but I assure you that he, literally, found the home that fit my unique needs: neighborhood, price and one that suits my personality to a 'T'. By day two, he was able to assess these various components about me and my needs and matched me with my new home. It was evident that Erik was working for me and not trying to sell just any house to just any person. It was a pleasure working with Erik.

  • I'm a first time buyer and didn't even know where to start the process of looking for a home, or even if I qualified. ý I google searched Chicago realty and Dream Town was one of the first companies that popped up. ý The website is so user friendly and easy to understand that I was hooked. ý One evening, not expecting to get an answer, I called and was pleasantly surprised to get a live person, Erik. ý Not only was Erikývery helpful and patient,ýhe explained the whole process to me in detail before I even made a commitment to work with him. Even when I couldn't show up for the home inspection,ýErik went on my behalf, and during the final walk thru, he went on my behalf and came back with pictures. I'm very happy to have chosen Dream Town and would happily recommendýErik to everyone!! Even though I am single, I was never alone in this process. ý Thank you Dream Town!

  • Buying a house can be a scary process especially when it is done long distance. My husband and I had a few real estate agents to choose from, but Erik stood out as the best of them. We chose Erik because he was quick to provide us with many online listings with the specific features we were looking for. In addition Erik was the only agent we felt would fight for us to get the best price possible. He made us feel at ease leaving the process in his hands. My husband and I came to Chicago for a two day house hunting weekend. Erik did a wonderful job of lining up viewings of our favorite on-line listings. He drove us to house after house until we found the ideal place. Once we made our decision, Erik handled all the paperwork and red tape, making the process easy for us. I would highly recommend Erik as a real estate agent.

  • It was a pleasure working Erik as our real estate agent. He was very attentive to our likes and dislikes in a unit during the course of the searching process, and made sure to only show us those units that matched those preferences. He was also very eager to show us any properties that we brought to his attention and asked to see. Additionally, Erik was very helpful with asking important questions that we might not have thought to ask. Through the entire process, we felt confident that Erik was acting as an advocate for our best interests. He kept us informed and made sure the closing went as smoothly as possible. All told, Erik is an excellent agent and he made the purchase process as enjoyable as possible.

  • Erik was great to work with - he made the process very convenient and enjoyable. He was in constant communication, and very proactive in working through the challenges that are part of any real estate transaction. Also, during the search for my new home, he was very helpful with prompting questions, helping me focus on the specifics of what I was looking for. It is easy to become overwhelmed when searching for a new home and Erik was very grounding. Erik made the process very personalized, which is not always the case. He went out of his way to accommodate my schedule, which was important to me as I was busy professionally during the time of my purchase. I found the combination of Dream Town's on-line approach, and Erik's personal approach to be a perfect fit for me.

  • Erik was extremely helpful in walking Stephanie and I through the home buying process. He took the time to explain the complicated process to us, and we felt comfortable that we'd find a home that fit our interests after the first meeting with him. Erik's industry contacts (real estate attorney, loan financier and home inspector) were also highly qualified and competent individuals. All in all, with Erik's help, our home buying experience was efficient, successful and fun. Thanks again for your help and support... look forward to seeing you again. And, look for an invitation to our housewarming party.
