Reviews | David Q. Rosen

David Q Rosen represented us in the sale of our Evanston condominium. David listed the condo for sale on February 9, 2024. He had several showings the first weekend and received two offers. We accepted one of the offers, agreeing to close on March 8. In the course of due diligence, some previously undisclosed legal and structural issues with the condominium building came to light. This caused problems with the buyers' lender. David Q Rosen was unstinting in his efforts to clarify and address the issues with the condo board. He and our attorney communicated well with the buyers - they did not back out despite experiencing plenty of frustration and uncertainty. David also kept an open channel with the buyers' agent and mortgage broker. I believe that, without David's persistence and dedication, we would not have been able to sell at this time. In the end, after many many reschedulings, the sale closed on April 26, 7 weeks later than originally agreed. I highly recommend David Q Rosen's services. He is kind, efficient, knowledgeable, willing to do the hard things and a great communicator. 

kept looking for properties and was always ready to take us anywhere.

What a great experience I had working with David Q Rosen! He really took the time to get to know me, asking a lot of questions about my requirements, but more importantly I noticed that as we were touring homes, he was paying attention to my reaction to each of the homes, taking note of my concerns and also things I really wanted to see in the home I finally purchased. The home buying process is not "easy" but David really did make it enjoyable. He knows the different Chicago neighborhoods and was able to find properties that were within my price range, architectural and design style, area requirements, and most importantly had all of the features inside and out that I wanted to see – he made sure all of the boxes were checked before we even went touring! From the first moment we met to the final closing process at the title company, he went so far above and beyond my expectations, and we had a lot of fun during the process! David always made it seem like I was his only client (and I know he is a very busy man!), always taking time to answer the phone or email me back to talk, answer questions, and just making sure I was comfortable and happy. I will recommend David Q Rosen to all of my friends and family! Thank you again for a great experience David! Lisa Kincaid

Having David at my side was a big comfort. He was an advocate for me from start to finish. Thank you David!

David provided the ultimate client experience to us during our home search and throughout the entire home buying process. He took time to understand our needs and was able to completely tailor the process to meet them. He maintained a high-level of professionalism as he negotiated with difficult brokers and he worked diligently on our behalf to close our deal in record-breaking time. We have and will continue to recommend David to all of our friends and colleagues. David went above and beyond our expectations to help us find our perfect forever house and we will be forever grateful. Best, Carlos Patino and Beth Cerny

I have known David for many years. He is a good friend. When he decided to go into the real estate biz I was ecstatic as my husband and I were looking to buy a place in Chicago and sell our Oak Park home that we'd lived in for over twenty years. David has always had an incredible eye and a keen interest in design and architecture and we knew we'd be in good hands with him as our broker as we looked to buy a condominium near the Lakefront. We had listed our house with an Oak Park real estate broker initially and worked with David to buy a Chicago property. As soon as we had a contract on our Oak Park home, David found a condominium for us that had not yet gone on the market in a building we loved. It was the first place we looked at and it was love at first sight. David had advised me during the showing not to show too much excitement in front of the listing agent. David negotiated an offer on our behalf that was accepted contingent upon our home being sold. Unfortunately the buyer of our home had not acted in good faith and the buyer tried to renegotiate the original price all had agreed upon. Sadly, we had to rescind our offer on the condo we very much wanted to live in. Although we received an offer right away on our home, our real estate broker did very little to market our property other than to have a broker's open house and place ads in the local paper. There was no online presence, no marketing materials at our home for prospective buyers, nor was our real estate broker ever present at any of the showings of our home. We never got feedback from our listing broker unless we called her. She was rarely available to us and we pulled the listing and gave it to David. David immediately came up with a smart strategy for selling our home. He took beautiful pictures, wrote up a listing that was not cliché ridden, gave our home an online presence and scheduled overlapping showings to generage buzz and interest in our home where he was present and available to prospective buyers at each showing. We had a good solid offer within five days and literally thousands of views online. In the meantime, the condo we loved so much was taken off the market and the owner was going to lease the unit. David reached out to the owner on our behalf and began negotiations to secure that property for us. David made this deal happen it would seem through sheer force of will – but I know it was his drive, his intelligence and chutzpah that sold our home for a great price. He was smart and strategic as he negotiated on our behalf to have our dream home near the Lakefront. I cannot recommend David Q. Rosen highly enough to anyone buying or selling a home. You are going to get a partner who has your best interests at heart. He takes very seriously his position as a broker. He is a lot of fun to work with as well. He was in constant communication with us every step of the way. Kitty Monaghan and Larry Kucharik

David did a wonderful job for me. He was able to help me find the perfect place in a very timely manner I highly recommend dreamtown and David in particular
