We worked with Arlyn on three transactions, selling our rental property, selling our primary residence and purchasing our new home. With Arlyn’s help we accomplished all three in 8 months. He was amazing to work with for so many reasons, but the top three being his knowledge, his responsiveness, and his patience. Arlyn’s knowledge of the housing industry and all the related topics (mortgages, taxes, construction, etc.) was so helpful when dealing with some of the questions and challenges that came up. I had so many questions and concerns throughout, plus I was overwhelmed and stressed with the decisions and changes that our family was experiencing. Arlyn’s calm and patient demeanor helped me tremendously. He checked in regularly and was so responsive by phone, text, and email. I often joked that I believed we were his only client! That’s how it felt working with Arlyn, that he was completely focused on our family at all times. I would highly recommend Arlyn to any of my closest friends and family!

Arlyn is a one of a kind individual. He is easy to work with, adaptable, willing to take a risk on looking at properties and is always there to lend an honest opinion. He is great at supporting you while looking for homes, discussing the positive aspects of each property but also pointing out possible down sides that we starry eyed home shoppers sometimes overlook!

Great professional to work with and went above and beyond with all aspects of the home shopping and then buying process!

Thank you Arlyn!!

Where do I start to tell you about ARLYN. I have known Arlyn for many years and can highly vouch for his attributes of being goal oriented, highest integrity and a great listener to exactly what you want in a home to purchase. I had only gone to two homes with him and I knew I did not have to go any further. Arlyn chose the right houses for me to look at. He was tenacious in working with the lister to get me a great deal. Arlyn turned his attention to help sell my present home. In a little over two weeks my home is in the process of closing. Need I say more ....one last thing that you must keep in mind when you hire a realtor are they someone who REALLY listens to what you want, shows homes to you that fit your budget, stays in contact with you to keep you updated in the process and who is connected with services he trusts to help you sell your home and/or purchase one! I can can highly recommend ARLYN TRATT. 👌

We used Arlyn to buy our current home and he made the process extremely simple. Buying a house can be very stressful as there's a lot of things you see for the first time that you'd have no way of understanding but luckily he walked us through everything and made the process quite easy to understand which helped make it not such an anxious experience. When it came time to refinance we went through Arlyn for that also and once again, extremely easy and he made the process seamless. We couldn't recommend Arlyn enough.

Arlyn Tratt is an exceptionally gifted Real Estate Agent. Here is how he contributed to the recent successful sale of my condo.

1.He knows how to create high impact, on-line listings using all the latest technology.
2.With his years of experience, he has excellent judgment on establishing the best starting price for each neighborhood.
3.Arlyn had useful suggestions regarding cost effective repairs and improvement to the property that would enhance its sale value.
4.He has a very efficient system for quickly scheduling showings without delay.
5.He knew how to really listen and understand my concerns as a seller and the concerns of a prospective buyer.
6.Arlyn has excellent negotiating skills and a willingness to go the extra mile. As a result he took a deal that was at risk of falling apart and brought it to a successful conclusion.

With hindsight, when I review the experience I had in selling my condo, the most important and best decision I made was to select Arlyn Tratt to be my agent.

My wife and I just closed on our first home (during COVID19!!!) and we couldn't have done it without Arlyn. His expertise in real estate was really what we needed since we had no idea where to even begin. Throughout the whole buying experience he was always available to answer questions and advocate for us to make sure we were getting the best value out of our purchase. I highly recommend working with Arlyn and NextHome Elite!!

Arlyn is a professional through and through. Easy to get a hold of, easy to get along with, and easy to get a deal done.

He helped me with finding a location and was very responsive to any requests, and really took the time out to make sure we had every checkbox filled in when it came down to finding a home for our family. Would definitely use again, and highly recommend his services for anyone looking to move into the next stage of their lives.

Arlyn is FANTASTIC!!! He was patient, flexible, willing and ready to show me any place that I was interested in seeing. At each location, he was insightful about every inch on the home. It was almost like Arlyn was buying the place for himself. Based on the interior and exterior, he let me know reasons to buy or not to buy each home. Home shopping with Arlyn, was like taking your good friend who was well knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. He also gave great recommendations when it came to finding an attorney & home inspector. I strongly recommend working with Arlyn!!!

Arlyn is the most trustworthy real estate agent and truly helped me in not only selling my home but from the beginning in getting my home ready for the best offer I can get. He always put me and my family's best interest first, and we could not have had such successful sale without him. He always listened to his client's needs and was very responsive to find answers and options no matter how complicated the issues. We felt he was part of our family as he provided us everything we needed to make an informed decision and was so patient and thorough in being considerate of all our needs. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the Chicagoland area who is looking to work with one of the most trustworthy professional real estate agent.

I have had multiple real estate transactions and Arlyn is the best real estate agent I have ever come across. He is so well networked in the Chicago North suburbs and able to meet his clients needs no matter how unique or challenging and does not give up in trying to find a solution. He is also the most caring, understanding and non-judgmental professional who will go out of his way to take care of his client's needs. On top of that he finds the easiest most efficient way to handle the real estate planning, showing and closing where everything with regarding to home sale went as smoothly as could be. His excellent proactive planning and communication really made us feel that we were partnering closely with him on all decisions we made. I would use his services for all my real estate transactions and highly recommend him to anyone.

Arlyn worked with my husband and I through a challenging process at a time where there was very low inventory. With twins on the way we wanted to find a home that had everything we needed and that fit our budget. After a long and frustrating year we were able to close on our beautiful home on August 15, 2017. Arlyn was very patient throughout the entire process. He is very personable, responsive, easy to work with and very knowledgeable in the real estate industry and current market trends. We highly recommend using Arlyn as your real estate agent.

Arlyn was great. Always accessible and knowledgeable about every step of the home selling process. More importantly if he did not know the answer, he found it quickly and got back to me in s timely manner. Quite frankly Arlyn is a extreme professional at what he does. He truly puts his heart into the relationship he creates with you and is very comfortable to work with. My house in Skokie, IL sold in a week and a half. Arlyn always stays on top of the market to help the buyer or seller make informed decisions

Arlyn was outstanding to work with throughout our purchase transaction. He was always available and present through all stages of the process from the initial viewing of the home, to the inspection right through the closing and everything in between. He was very helpful in negotiating price and other issues, offering solid, practical advice. We highly recommend Arlyn as a professional, ethical, and easy to work with real estate broker.

Arlyn has helped us buy and sell multiple homes. This last time we were both buying and selling. There are several reasons I would highly recommend Arlyn to either a buyer or seller: 1. He is incredibly responsive and organized. 2. His calm demeanor and solution orientation is invaluable during the inevitable times when something does not go quite right. 3. He reads people very well - which is key in negotiating. Arlyn give us very valuable advice as both sellers and buyers on offers and negotiation. He listened to us as well but we have learned to listen to him - he has saved us tens of thousands of dollars. 4. He is a genuinely nice person. I know that Arlyn sincerely wants the best for us and is not out for a quick win. 5. He gets results. We sold our home in 6 days for more than our bottom line price and he helped us quickly find a new place for a great deal.

If I ever buy or sell in Chicago or the suburbs, Arlyn is who I will go with.
