What Our Clients Are Saying

I'm extremely excited to extend a rave reviews about John Walin. He recently assisted us in purchasing my new home. It was an arduous one and a half years searching for my home, however, John kept me positive throughout the whole process. Let me tell you, dealing with a short sale is a complete nightmare, but if I ever need an extremely patient and experience agent I would absolutely choose John again and again. He always made us feel like we was his top priority, which I absolutely love! He is very knowledgeable and extremely honest in what he does and will accommodate to your needs and literally work 24/7 to help you find the perfect home. In the end if anyone ever needs an excellent and professional real estate agent, I highly recommend John Walin! Thanks John! Appreciate all your help throughout this journey.

I doubt that the complicated process of selling and then buying a home is often so pleasurable as we experienced with our realtor, Kathy Saunders. She showed us potential new homes a year or so before we were actually ready to sell the home we'd inhabited for a quarter-century. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she showed our home while we were temporarily away on business. When the time came to look for a new home, she found the PERECT match for us right off the bat. In retrospect, I credit her with excellent knowledge and experience, with an excellent work ethic, with thoughtfulness, patience, and kindness. Come to think of it, Kathy Saunders would make not only an excellent realtor but a great friend. Thank you, Kathy!

Anita was always knowledgeable, efficient, timely, pleasant and supportive.

My husband was doing searches online and ended up calling to ask questions. He immediatley felt comfortable. Professional, experienced, knowledgeable, yet still warm and personal.

Very knowledgeable about the market I was looking at and very accomodating the entire time. Made the whole buying process seem easy.

Kathy was amazing at helping us with each step! She was knowledgeable and that was is just what we needed in our first time home buying experience! Not sure how you can top Kathy! Literally she was so attentive, honest, caring, and knowledgeable!

Great individualized service.

Jackie was extremely helpful, she really cared about us and worked really well with us through the entire process. She communicated in a timely manner and was available to answer any questions we had. We are so happy to have worked with her especially since it was our first time buying a home. Marco checked in with me about the buying process often and was able to push things along when needed, I really appreciated that too! Thank you Marco!

The website is great!

We love Anita. I wouldn't use any other realtor and always recommend her to friends.She is helpful, knowledgeable, kind and honest. She actually cares about what is best for our family. Many times Anita has pointed out areas of concern that I would have otherwise missed. She has reminded me what was most important when I would get caught up in paint color or worn out carpet. "Walls can be painted. Carpet can be replaced. Do you like the floorplan, the yard, the neighborhood?"

How quickly they got me in to see the home I wanted to see.

After our experience with our former real estate person Marco was a refreshing experience and a solid professional.

Friendly, caring attitude, the team is concerned about my needs. Website really stands out.

When we decided to move from our Michigan lakehouse back to Illinois to be near our family we had no idea of who to contact. We had been gone from Illinois since 1998. At first we worked with a realtor my daughter had heard about but that was not satisfying. She really didn't listen and would just show us things that I had seen on the internet. Soon after, I saw an ad for a home in Carillon, a senior community, and wanted to see it. It was early in the morning but I called the number listed for HomesbyMarco. Kathy Saunders answered the call and I knew immediately that she would be a good fit. She never let us down. She was always responsive to our every need. We are now happily settled in our new home and are thankful I called Kathy that morning. She made everything happen.

I've worked with Pat prior, so it made sense to do it again. Jonna and Chris are amazing to work with. Responsiveness, professionalism, positivity. Always there to provide feedback and coach you through the process.

Great, everything went perfect.

Excellent and very friendly.

Experienced and excellent communication. No nonsense approach ... great marketing tools!

Very good Team Work!

Jackie Koukol is an exceptional agent and person.

Extremely professional yet also very personable and easy to get along with.

John is great. He helped me in the purchase of my home and is now helping me buy a rental property. He makes himself available when you need him. I've flooded his email with properties and poured through many showings. He hangs in there till the end. All around good guy and great realtor.

Kathy is amazing. I couldn’t have imagine doing this with another agent. She took the time to explain everything and treated me like family. Very grateful!!

It has been a pleasure to be represented by Kathy Saunders of the Homes By Marco team, in the selling of our home and the purchase of a new one. Throughout the whole process, she listened to our preferences and needs, then provided us with many opportunities to look at homes to consider. She was always available, dependable, prompt, and kind, advising us and helping us think through the many possibilities of price, location, size, amenities, and potential of each home. She is a master in her field and we appreciated her professionalism and personal care, in working for us to help us make our final decisions in real estate.

Jackie was so accessible! She responded to texts and phone calls any day, any time. Keep doing what you're doing!

Good reputation in community, professional, friendly and responsive.

Excellent communication, Nicolas was able to explain any questions or concerns we had during the selling of our home.

Kathy and her team exceeded our expectations at every opportunity. Because we were out of town during the transaction, Kathy applied for permits, set up appointments and met with contractors, met inspectors, coordinated an estate sale and donation, and prepared the house for the buyer. Her knowledge of the market is exceeded only by her work ethic. Words fail in expressing our gratitude. We would not hesitate to engage her or recommend her to anyone.
