I cannot recommend Brad, Kristin and the team enough. Smart, thoughtful, thorough and supportive. Amazing experience working with them and will definitely do so again.

Brad and his team were awesome! There is so much to appreciate about Brad in his work for us a sellers agent: he was professional, kind, hard working, and willing to be creative and nimble with our strategy. He worked with our schedule to ensure our family’s priorities came first and our daughter never had to miss a nap! He and his team sent weekly updates and responded quickly to any questions we had in the interim. Most of all, I appreciated that he is a down-to-earth guy with a good perspective who kept us calm in a pretty stressful process. We would definitely work with Brad and his team again!

Brad and his team produced terrific results with efficiency and convenience that far matched my expectations. Great communication and personal touch that created an amazing balance of service and stress free home sales. Within one week of requesting their representation Brad and his team had a teaser video online for my listing. Their expertise resulted in a 99.1% purchase to asking price during the heart of the holiday season in a slumping market. They made it as easy as ordering a burrito for lunch on your phone that arrives as fast as typing this - but more of a fancy burrito.

As first-time buyers, we are so glad that we chose Brad and his team as our real estate agent. They are professional, ethical and responsible. During the whole process, Brad, Kristen and the team were always there and made it easy for us. They did an excellent job to provide their expert knowledge about what to look for and develop a good strategy when we decided to make an offer. They are detail-orientated as well. During a showing, a small portion of the hardwood floor in the kitchen was composed of several small pieces of wood instead of a large one. Brad spotted it right away. We would never have noticed it without him. They helped us walk away from the bad units. When we made an offer on a unit, the listing agent was unethically telling Brad to convince us with a higher price, which of course he didn't. If we decide to sell our condo in next 5 or 10 years, Brad and his team will definitely be our real estate agent.

Let me be terse and blunt, if you have a chance to go with Chicago Residential Partners when buying or selling real state and you don't, you are missing out. We were first time buyers and felt the pressure at times, but from start to finish Brad and Kristin were always there to guide us through it.

My wife and I recently purchased a condo in Roscoe Village with the help of Brad's team at Chicago Residential Partners, and I was beyond satisfied with the experience. Brad was professional, knowledgeable and kind, and he went above and beyond to ensure that the process went as smoothly as possible. We were first-time buyers, so we really appreciated that he went out of his way to answer all of our questions and guide us from the initial search to the close. He has even assisted with post-closing items, including HOA setup and referrals for local vendors. My wife and I felt confident that we got the best deal possible, and we are so pumped about our new place. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone looking to buy a home in the Chicagoland area.

I've had the pleasure of working with Brad and his team on numerous deals as an attorney for his clients. Brad and his team always have great communication and knowledge of the real estate market. You will be hard-pressed to find a real estate agent who is more thorough and caring for his clients than Brad. He has been a great partner on every deal we've worked on together and always goes the extra mile for his clients.

Brad was tremendous in helping me find my first home! It was a long process but he took the time to make sure the home I bought completely suited to my needs. (He even saved me from a couple haunted houses too!) He and his team worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was solid and helped me until the home became mine. I highly recommend Brad as a realtor!

Brad and team are top notch. I have both purchased and sold a home with their support and in both instances, I was confident that they were doing everything they could to achieve the best result possible. The team is well organized, communicates well, and provides a low-stress experience. I will continue to use Brad in the future and plan to recommend his team to my colleagues and friends whenever they are looking to buy or sell a home.

Brad and the rest of the CRP team were amazing during the entire process of selling and buying our homes. Brad was always quick to respond to any questions we had and was incredibly resourceful throughout the entire process. Though I feel like we have found a home that we may never move out of, I can’t imagine working with anyone other than Brad. He is the absolute best.

We wish we could give 6 stars! We had such an exceptional experience from the initial meeting through signing the lease. We first met with Brad via Zoom to discuss our requirements (bed, bath, parking, budget, neighborhood, etc) and then he gave us exclusive access to Compass, where his team sent us places that fit our needs! We found an excellent apartment through the app, Brad set up a tour for us, and we fell in love with it! From there, Brad helped coordinate our application with the other realtor and was very communicative regarding the status of our application. Once our application was accepted, Maria and Danielle helped us with setting up utilities and coordinating our move. We even referred Brad and his team to several of our friends! We couldn’t be happier with their great work, and we would highly recommend this team to anyone in the market for a residence!

From the start, Brad and Dana were warm and welcoming to me and my roommate. We were looking to leave Lincoln Park for something larger with more features we were sorely lacking. They made us feel comfortable and communicated with at all times no matter our stress level or the hundreds of questions we had. Apartment hunting is as tough as ever, and these two helped us find the perfect place to call home! Thank you for all of your support and help. We will definitely be referring any time we have the chance to.

Brad and his team were incredible throughout the entire process. As first-time home buyers, we were put at ease almost immediately with Brad's helpful walkthrough of what to expect when buying a home. The team helped us navigate a complex, fast-paced Chicago market. They were always pro-active partners and excellent communicators without making us feel rushed or nervous. It was a great experience and we ended up very pleased with the results. Thanks to Brad and his team.

They went above and beyond to help me mitigate risks, get the best offers in quickly and navigate the unavoidable challenges in the process of selling Chicago real estate.

I could not have been more satisfied with my experience working with Brad and his outstanding team.
I first worked with Brad back in 2018 when my partner and I purchased our first home and were blown away by the service Brad provided so it was a no brainer that we would work with Brad and his team when we recently decided to sell our condo and relocate our family out of state.
Throughout every step of the process, Brad and the CRP team walked us through what was happening and provided excellent guidance and support. Buying or selling property doesn't always go as planned but we always felt we were getting the absolute best advice and service from Brad and felt confident we were making the best decisions at each step.
Whether you are a first time home buyer or not, I highly recommend Brad and Chicago Residential Partners.

We worked with Brad and Dana to find an apartment and they were phenomenal partners. It was a stressful time as places were being rented sometimes within hours of being listed. They held our hands through the whole process and the communication was awesome. Things had to move very quickly so they were always easy to get in touch with. Genuinely two of the nicest people to work with. They found us a new place we love that checks all of our boxes within budget and they even followed up after we moved in to make sure we were still loving it. Highly recommend!

Brad and Kristin were both supportive, knowledgeable, and a reasoned sounding board for my concerns as a first-time buyer. My partner and I were new to all aspects of potentially buying a condo or house, and were always greeted with patience. They were honest in their opinions and it always felt like our best interests were put front and center. I can't recommend them highly enough, and they've continued to support us in our first month as homeowners.

It's impossible to overstate how happy I was partnering with Brad Zibung to sell my home in Chicago. I've used other realtors in the past, but Brad was - by far - the most informed, innovative, and, frankly, successful. He also knows Chicago - and its market - like the back of his hand. But most notably, Brad is hard-working. He takes initiative, he's organized (very appreciated), and he knows how to get things done. Despite dealing with relatively difficult buyers, Brad kept the process moving, reminding me what I needed to get done, and taking care of 5x that, himself. I couldn't imagine having gone through the process without him. I also appreciated Brad's commitment to communication. He was never out of reach and was always quick with a useful piece of advice or information. If you're looking for a true professional, Brad Zibung is the guy. Seriously, don't think twice about it. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

We cannot recommend highly enough Brad and his entire team. When I first reached out, I had already spoken or emailed with a few realtors, but Brad’s knowledge and temperament impressed me immediately. He was measured, very informed, patient, and available. We had owned a home, but buying a condo in a new city just felt really stressful. After our initial consultation, and then a very useful orientation to the process they follow, we felt like we were in good hands. To feel that kind of confidence and comfort with a whole team is important, because there will be ups and downs through the entire transaction. Brad works with a stellar team (Danielle, Maria, and Dana), and they prepare you for every stage of the purchase. We loved how they both educated and supported us as we moved from one phase to the next. Brad knows the market and the area so well. He really is kind of a coach! After we purchased the condo, Brad was there with recommendations of painters and other kinds of services, and now that we’re owners, we STILL feel like they’re out there for anything we may need. In fact, as we got closer to the final closing, we were kind of sad because we realized we would miss them—and we do! Five stars all the way through!

Brad and the whole team at Chicago Residential Partners are absolutely wonderful to work with. They made the showing process extremely seamless and had a lease signed in about a week.

Absolutely thrilled with the outcome of working with Brad and his team. They clearly communicated from the get go so that I never felt in the dark about what was happening. Brad’s expertise helped me get way more for my condo than I would of hoped for. During the entire process he was honest, fair, and most importantly I trusted him because he takes the time to connect with you on a personal level. You can tell he cares about the people he’s helping rather than just making a sale. I can confidently say whether buying, selling or listing a place to rent, Brad and his team are the way to go!

Danielle helped us buy our first home in April 2021. The market was crazy at the time (and we probably were too) but Danielle hung in there and found us and our two dogs the perfect place in Lakeview.
Danielle and her team were incredibly professional, streamlined and friendly. We were looking for fairly specific features in a house and she helped us sort through many many options during a hectic market to find the right place that checked our boxes.
Danielle and her team continue to be great resources as we try and navigate homeownership for the first time, providing referrals for landscapers, curtain providers, etc…
We’ve recommended Danielle and her team to all of our friends and will continue to do so.

I can’t recommend Brad enough. I learned about Brad and his team from my sister and friend who had success with him. My husband and I originally sought out his services when we were going to buy a home, but with our upcoming wedding and other major life events, we decided to rent instead. Brad was accommodating every step of the way when we were potentially buying and then finally renting. He drove my husband all around town looking at apartments until we found our dream rental! He was easy to talk to like a friend, but very professional and someone we trust. He knows the market well, has years of experience and is the type of person who will “go the extra mile” for his clients. We can’t wait to use Brad again when we start looking to buy!
Thank you!

Brad and his team at Chicago Residential Partners were great to work with again while going through the process of selling our condo. They always made themselves available for showings, open houses, meeting with the buyer, etc. Brad was also really helpful walking us through the sell side process.

I would recommend Brad and his team to anybody looking to buy or sell their place.

Brad and his team work by the slogan “service, not just sales” and truthfully they live by those words. Brad, Christina, and Danielle, have a vast knowledge and expertise of everything real estate, and a level of customer service that is second to none. The three of them work very well together and support not only us the client well, but each other too. Brad even repeatedly told me during the late night phone calls when offers were coming in, “Real Estate never sleeps”. As many have experienced, buying and selling a home can be a stressful process from start to finish. Any hiccup or bump in the road was not only handled with a smile and calmness by Brad and his team, but it honestly any problem felt very minimal. My fiancé told me “Brad, Christina, and Danielle, have a way of easing my worries in selling our home.” I couldn’t agree more. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Brad Zibung, Christina Powers, and Danielle Markus to anyone for their real estate needs.
