I recently sold my condo in Chicago with Matt Laricy and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Matt and his team made the entire process seamless, efficient, and incredibly well-managed. They handled everything—from staging to coordinating repairs—with great attention to detail, saving me time and effort.
I was especially impressed by how well their digital services were designed. Every step of the transaction was transparent and easy to track through emails and mobile apps, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the sale. Matt also went above and beyond by creating high-quality video tours of my home and promoting them on social media, which helped generate strong interest.
Overall, Matt and his team brought professionalism, energy, and a modern, streamlined approach that truly sets them apart. Highly recommend.

Matt Laricy and his team was phenomenal to work with! From the first meeting, Matt impressed me with his in-depth market knowledge and honest advice about pricing. He understood exactly what I was looking for in the new home. Throughout the process, Matt was incredibly responsive to all of my questions, kept me updated every step of the way, and skillfully negotiated all the required communication with the sellers, etc. Beyond his professionalism, he made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. I highly recommend Matt Laricy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home — I would definitely work with him again!

Matt and his team are true professionals,
I am originally from the philly area and was renting for a little over a year and wanted to get a condo.
I found the Laricy group and sent an email one night and to my surprise got a response that very same night. We scheduled a meeting to talk about the process and within 24 hours i had a active list of properties that fit my exact expectations and was able to get viewings scheduled for that very weekend.
When i found a place i wanted, Matt as the managing broker was very involved and was able to get the seller to agree to a price below asking value.
Throughout the whole process there is a robust team behind Matt and his agents. I worked with Tyler who was very personable and did his homework on the properties he showed me. The support team with Jamie and Gretchen were phenominal. Super organized and everything was layed out in an easy to follow google doc.
If you are a first time home buyer like me, the Laricy team is who you want in your corner.
I reached out in June for a first meeting and i am moving in before the end of July

Matt Laricy’s team was absolutely incredible to work with. They have an amazing understanding of the market landscape, and they thoroughly walked me through every, single step of the real estate process from negotiation all the way through closing. This team was extremely knowledgeable, VERY accessible (blazing fast responses), subsequently very easy to work with. It makes a lot of sense why this team closes so many transactions. I wouldn’t have rather worked with anyone else, quintessential reflections of professionalism, knowledge, care, and effectiveness to complete real estate transactions.

I had a great experience working with Matt. I told him my requirements at the start, and after I sent him a list of homes I was interested in, he immediately knew which ones would fit based on details like whether there was in-unit laundry, parking, and if the building was well-maintained. He responded quickly to all my messages and was fast to schedule every viewing I wanted, even driving us from listing to listing to make the process easier. His team also helped coordinate everything, making it a no-hassle closing. I was able to secure my new place within just 1.5 weeks of working with him. Even after closing, he checked back to make sure I was all set and didn’t have any post-close questions. It was a smooth and efficient experience, and I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a place!

Matt and his team are absolutely exceptional. From start to finish Matt and his team were extremely responsive with any specific or general market questions. They are extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the whole process and even helped keep the closing on track. They also produced extremely high quality photos and videos for the listing and social media. They knew exactly how to present our home and time the listing/showings to buyers to get them to jump on it right away. I was extremely impressed with everyone on the team and they made this whole process as painless as it could possibly be! They put in 100 percent effort and it really shows - they are eons ahead of any other realtor I have used in the past. I 100 percent recommend Matt and his team!

We had the pleasure of meeting Matt when we were looking at a larger apartment-once we decided to buy, we gave him a call and it was the best decision. From start to finish, Matt and his team were so responsive, accommodating and easy to work with. He was honest and helpful whenever we had questions and made the entire process (under a deadline as well) easy and effortless. We ended up finding our place and even with the loom of a multiple offer market, he was able to secure the deal and we have the place we love. We worked with his lender who is/was also a great asset and gave the same incredible service and communication as the Laricy team. We truly enjoyed the process of finding our home and we would absolutely without hesitation recommend and use them in the future!

I originally reached out because I’m a fan of Matt and really appreciated the way he approaches real estate. From there, I was connected with John Paul—and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
John Paul was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and kind. As a first-time buyer, I had so many questions, but he walked me through everything with patience and clarity. He always made time to check in, explain the next steps, and make sure I felt comfortable.
What stood out most to me was how genuinely supportive and steady he was throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed, and I always felt like I was in good hands.
If you're looking for a team that combines expertise with empathy, I can’t recommend them enough. Huge thanks to both Matt Laricy and John Paul for making this such a smooth and positive journey!！

This is the second time we've worked with Matt and his team, and there's a reason we came back as repeat customers. Simply put, in a world where mediocracy seems to be on the rise, Laricy and his team stand out as highly competent, skilled professionals, who hustle and get results for their clients. He offered perspective on quality of management of various buildings, shared aspects of the market we hadn't considered, and allowed us to make a great decision. Our transaction had several twists and turns that Matt and his team navigated us through. When the property we decided on ended up on the dreaded Fannie/Freddie "blacklist" in the middle of our process, he helped line up alternative financing for us and even negotiated a credit with from the sellers for us that offset additional costs of the alternative loan. Then, when we were unexpectedly able to come into town for closing, his team worked with a local branch of the title company close to our location to get the closing done. For anyone in the Chicago market looking for the best real estate team to work with, Matt Laricy should be your first and only call.

Matt and his team are exceptional. Not only do they know real estate and the Chicago market, they're easy to work with and the best at communicating. I moved back to Chicago from the West Coast a few years ago and found Matt through Yelp and YouTube. When I bought my condo in the city, he and his team were exceptional. Their knowledge of the Chicago market and direct and honest communications were key to my purchase. Two years later, I was ready to head back west and I turned to Matt again. From the staging through the sale, Matt and his team were the top professionals I knew them to be. And he charged a very fair rate. If I return to Chicago again, I'll contact Matt about real estate.

Whether it’s real estate or any other important business decision, I look to partner with professionals who are not only effective but deeply passionate about their craft, with a work ethic that shows in everything they do. If that’s what you’re after, Matt is exactly who you want in your corner.
We started my downtown condo search nearly a year ago and closed earlier this month. Navigating the market from out of state could’ve been complicated, but Matt made the process seamless. He stayed on top of listings so I never missed a beat, and he communicated regularly to keep me informed on market trends and cycles.
At every stage, Matt makes his clients feel valued, prioritized, and never pressured. More than once, he encouraged me to pass and wait for the right property. When we finally found it and reached negotiations, Matt, unsurprisingly, crushed it and got us to a 12-day close. That also wouldn’t have been possible without Jamie, who kept everything on track in the final stretch.
The blend of transparency, knowledge, and confidence Matt brings to the table is rare to come by. As long as he’s in the business and covering the markets I’m in, he’ll be my only call.

I recently closed on my new home thanks to the incredible team of Matt Laricy, Mickey Hobson, and Jamie Daly at Laricy Team Americorp! As a long time expat still fairly new to Chicago whose last purchase was over 15 years ago in another state, I was a bit nervous about the process, but Matt, Mickey, and Jamie were fantastic every step of the way.
Matt's deep knowledge of the local market and his very honest and forthright approach was invaluable in helping me find the perfect neighborhood. Mickey's patience and willingness to see every property around my work and life schedule and market anxiety kept me adherent to the path. And Jamie's attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile ensured that every detail was handled with care.
They were always available to answer my questions, provided excellent guidance, and truly made me feel like a priority. The entire process was seamless and much less stressful than I had anticipated.

While Matt was always responsive and quick to answer our emails, the real strength of the team came from their collective effort. The Laricy Team handled every aspect of the sale with expertise—from the initial listing and marketing to hosting open houses, securing the offer in no time, and negotiating the best deal for us. Their attention to detail and clear communication made the entire process seamless, right through to the smooth escrow closing. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome and the level of service we received. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend the Laricy Team. Their dedication and professionalism made all the difference!

Exceptional Service and Compassion: A Stellar Experience with Matt Laricy's Team
I am thrilled to share our outstanding experience with the Matt Laricy Team in selling our condo. From the moment we listed, we were met with an impressive level of professionalism and innovation. Within just the first week, our Chicago property was sold for over asking demonstrating the team's unmatched ability to deliver results.
A significant factor in our success was their remarkable marketing strategy. The team's use of a comprehensive social media campaign, paired with breathtaking drone videography, showcased our home to a broad audience. This modern approach undoubtedly played a crucial role in attracting potential buyers quickly.
Throughout the process, the team's professionalism and dedication truly stood out. In the midst of our sale, they experienced a heartbreaking loss with the passing of one of their valued team members, Catherine Holbrook- Healy, due to childbirth, and one of my childhood best friend's wife. Despite this devastating event, which left them understandably wounded and grieving, the team rallied together. Their resilience in maintaining effective communication and ensuring the sale went smoothly is a testament to their strength and unity. What was especially touching was how they operated more like a family, supporting each other, their clients, and honoring Catherine's memory.
A special mention must be made of Matt Laricy himself. Not only did he lead his team with grace during such a challenging time, but he also extended his hospitality by sending us a thoughtful gift of an exquisite bottle of wine. This gesture highlighted their commitment to making every client feel valued and appreciated.
It's easy to see why the Matt Laricy Team is regarded as the premier residential and commercial realtors in Chicago. Their blend of hospitality, relentless hustle, and impeccable style—yes, they are indeed the best dressed—sets them apart in the real estate market.
From the bottom of our family's hearts, we extend our deepest gratitude. We wholeheartedly recommend the Matt Laricy Team to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Chicago. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication make them a truly remarkable team. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Best Regards, Kyle Handibode

I was extremely impressed by how fast and smooth the process was working with Matt Laricy and his amazing team! As someone who recently moved to Chicago under a year ago and also a first time home buyer, I had no idea how to navigate the market. In just a week, Matt helped me tour many condos downtown. In under a month, I was able to close in on a great deal and I'm very satisfied with the purchase. Huge thanks again to Matt and his team!

I'm not one for providing reviews unless they are honestly earned and I can say without hesitation that Matt Laricy and his team are the best! If you want to sell or buy a home, don't waste time with anyone else, use Matt and his team. They are professional and on point in every way possible and will be honest with you about the pros and cons about each opportunity. They are not trying to make money or close deals. Their major priority is you and taking care of your heart and needs. Don't use anyone else unless you like wasting your time and being frustrated. If you want results and being cared for with respect and kindness, use Matt.

Matt and his entire team are A+...the best we have worked with in real estate. Matt sold our South Loop condo from listing to close in less than a month! Selling our property from out of state is daunting, but Matt and his team made the entire sale process seamless and stress-free. He and his team executed everything for us and communicated promptly at each step—from prepping and staging to photos, showings, coordinating with the condo's management company, through closing. We gave him the keys and the Laricy Team handled the rest. Matt has a great pulse on the Chicago market, knows price points that will sell, excels in negotiation, and leverages high impact marketing. We were under contract 3 days after listing. It's hard to find people with a "Yes, I can do" attitude these days, yet each Laricy team member we worked with possesses this rare quality. We truly appreciated that someone from his team was always present at the condo for showings and inspection, providing us with immediate feedback. If you want to sell your property quickly and successfully, trust Matt Laricy and his team.

Matt is extremely knowledgeable and was incredibly transparent, trustworthy, and efficient during the entire home buying process. We were pretty anxious as first time buyers, but knew that we were in wonderful hands every step of the way because of him and his team’s work.
We had been dipping our toes in the real estate pool for about one year and Matt never made us feel rushed. In fact, we sent him several listings we were interested in and he very professionally told us why he did NOT recommend buying those specific listings. I distinctly remember my husband and I both reading his email, looking at eachother and saying, “okay, this guy’s the real deal.” It would have been SO easy for him to sell us those imperfect listings, knowing he would save himself time and energy and still get the same commission check, but Matt made sure we were not compromising on any of our non-negotiables until we finally found the perfect place. For that, we can’t thank him enough.
He came highly recommended to us by friends. Now we’ve already recommended him to several of our friends. We could Not recommend him more highly.

Matt Laricy helped us with a sale of a condo and a purchase of a house, both within a 2 month period of time (Oct '18-Dec '18). Specific to the sale of the condo, we first met with Matt on a Sunday evening. Placed our condo on the market a week later, and accepted an offer above list price 10 days after our initial strategy conversation.
Concurrently, we submitted an offer on a new single family home on the same day that we accepted the condo sale offer. Matt helped us negotiate and got us an accepted offer on the house within 24 hours.
Matt's entire team, from Jamie Price (Executive Coordinator) to Lisa Saul (Attorney) to every other team member that supported us during the listing and sales process could not have created a smoother experience. Everyone was always extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to give added effort to instill confidence in this entire process. This company and their attorney's attention to details and commitment to an exceptional client experience was super impressive. We look forward to working with Matt Laricy, Lisa Saul and the entire team again on our next real estate transaction.
UPDATE 1/10/2025:
This is the third real estate transaction where we worked with Matt Laricy. Matt, Catherine Holbrook and the entire Laricy team were incredible realtors/professionals throughout our buy and sales process. I am not sure how they do it, but they were ALWAYS responsive to our texts, calls, questions and requests. We never felt pressured to make a decision, Matt/Catherine were always advocating for us every step of the way.
We purchased a home in Arlington Heights and sold our Wicker Park condo. Whether it was issues with the inspection or purchase/sales price, or legal review process, they provided the most informed consultation and gave us the best experience possible. There is a reason my wife and I are repeat clients of Matt, and we look forward to working with the Laricy team again if/when we are in the market for another home!

Absolutely Outstanding! We have moved numerous times all over the country in the last 20 years, and Matt Laricy and his team were by far the best realty team we have ever encountered.
Matt is professional, very knowledgeable about the market, and extremely responsive. He is direct, honest, and realistic about what you can expect from the market and always does his best to close the deal.
Matt was able to sell our place in a very tough market and his team constantly kept us updated on what was happening with our property and the market as a whole. He set realistic expectations for us given the current environment and made the entire process easier for us.
I cannot recommend Matt and his team enough. He will always do his best to make sure you understand the process and to deliver the best possible results. They gave helpful tips on how to make our place market ready and had contacts in the industry for any last minute construction or cleaning projects needed before listing the property. They would help arrange everything, which was exactly what we needed.
It is very difficult to find companies that provide even basic service these days, and it was so refreshing to find a company that provided exceptional service and exceeded all of our expectations.
You will not be able to find a realty firm that provides better service and that knows more about the real estate market than Laricy Realty. I also found Matt’s podcast series-Laricy LIVE- very informative and helpful throughout the process.

Selling my condo while living out of state could have been a nightmare, but Matt and his team made the entire process seamless. From coordinating cleaners and junk haulers to staging the property and working with the association, they handled every detail with care and professionalism – all the way through to the very end.

Matt and his team were incredible during my first-time home-buying journey. From my initial casual search until I found my perfect place, they were communicative throughout the whole process. As I saw each option, it was clear that my showing agent, JC, paid attention to the elements I loved and the ones I disliked to help tailor my search. He talked me through what questions to ask, what to pay attention to, and rough price ranges for changes I was considering making (ie carpet removal is fairly inexpensive so don't let that be the deciding feature, but full bathroom or kitchen renos would be a longer and more expensive change so consider that in closing price). Once I found a condo I wanted to purchase, the vendors Matt recommended for closing were great as well. Couldn't recommend their team any higher.

If you want to sell your property despite any difficult market conditions- Matt is your person! First time I met Matt when he was representing a buyer and immediately knew that I needed him on my team. In two weeks he got us an offer on our downtown condo when the market time for River North was ~90 days. Years later when we decided it was the time to buy another condo Matt was the only agent I called. Matt had to deal with incredibly difficult agent-seller yet managed to get us the best price in one of the nicest buildings downtown. Matt and Laricy team make this unpleasant process as smooth as it’s only possible. Everyone is incredibly professional and they go above and beyond for their clients.

They had great connections for every resource I needed (lawyer, mortgage lender, etc), so it really felt like a one-stop shop, which relieved a lot of anxiety. I felt good the entire process, and I am so happy with the home I was able to secure!

Professional, punctual, and highly knowledgeable about the market, they made our 10-month journey to find our home smooth and enjoyable. Even when we grew tired of seeing houses, Matt’s team, especially JP, kept us motivated with their positive outlook and fresh perspectives. Scheduling showings was a breeze with their prompt responses. We loved working with them and highly recommend their services!

Matt was fantastic. He knows the market inside out. We gave him our criteria (for example having the possibility of renting out in the future) and he weeded out those that did not fit. We flew into Chicago for two day and Matt had everything set. We saw exactly the type of properties we wanted and we made an offer. His team is fantastic and had all the resources and contacts to make the process and closing seamless. We would never think of using anyone else.

We have nothing but amazing things to say about Matt Laricy and his team. As first-time buyers, they made the experience seamless from start to finish. Matt’s advisement, contact recommendations, and expertise are second to none. John-Paul gave us excellent guidance throughout the process as well, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. They have a very professional and diligent support team that was readily available to help at any point. We would highly recommend this team to any buyer, first-time or otherwise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience finding our new home and will undoubtedly be using Laricy Team in the future!

I met Matt's team member JC when I booked a property tour on Zillow. Prior to that I had a rather unimpressive experience with another agent booked through online website so I wasn't expecting much. We loved the location of that properties but not the style. JC did not push us either way. Instead he patiently pointed out all the pros and cons of the property as he see it. He also explained the home-buying process in details. We were not in a rush to buy but the positive interaction with Matt's team somehow nudged us to move faster. We lived in Iowa and that makes things harder. We put in earnest money into a property after seeing it online only to back out after seeing it in person. We finally found our dream home and Matt negotiated a great deal for us. Throughout the process Matt and his team keep us well informed. Every few days we got reminded or updated on the progress about attorney review, mortgage progress. I feel we're in really good hand with Matt's team. If you ever consider buying a home in Chicago, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt's service.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt this summer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment I decided to list my condo, Matt was a true professional. He managed to get it listed in less than a week, which was nothing short of impressive. The photos and marketing materials were outstanding, showcasing my property in the best possible light and attracting a lot of interest right away.
Matt's team was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Anytime I had a question or concern, they were quick to provide answers and support. Additionally, the team helped me navigate the complexity of an accelerated closing timeline. His expertise and dedication ensured that everything went smoothly, even under tight deadlines.
Thanks to Matt, selling my condo was a seamless and successful experience. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent who delivers results with professionalism and efficiency, look no further than Matt and the Laricy Team.

Matt Laricy and his team are a group of high-quality, skilled and experienced professionals with high EQ capabilities. We hired them immediately after Matt presented a concise and complete plan of action to sell our hi-rise condo in a six-week time frame, and they did it. Matt's knowledge and experience of the local and macro-markets was extremely helpful in keeping us reassured that we were always on track with his plan. We communicated multiple times weekly about buyer responses and progress. We liked their calm and confident style of communication, attire and high sense of urgency, no matter the team member involved. Matt and his team are honest, reliable and skilled professionals, no matter the member involved or area of expertise. We recommend the Matt Laricy Group for any type of real estate required.

Matt and his team delivered outstanding service throughout my home buying journey. From the introductory call to closing day, Matt and his team were there every step of the way. Not only did they answer (and anticipate) my many questions, they provided unwavering support to me as a first time homebuyer. The showings were scheduled promptly and conveniently. Matt's knowledge during the showings helped me make the best decision (they were also fun!). When it came time to put an offer in, his negotiation skills won me the condo. Then, the actual closing process was super smooth as his team was very responsive and organized. The Laricy team will set you up for success! Even though I just closed, I am already looking forward to working together again, whenever that may be. Thank you again to the whole team!!

Their dedication was evident in their punctuality in appointments and their meticulous attention to detail in all documentation.

My wife and I were newcomers to the Chicago real estate market and the journey seemed challenging until we met Matt Laricy for our first showing. What set Matt apart was not just his profound knowledge and professionalism but the exceptional value he brought to our home-buying experience.
Matt made the entire process look effortless, dedicating himself to helping us explore over 20 properties, offering us a wide range of options tailored to our needs and budget. His commitment to being super responsive to emails and organized made us feel prioritized and well-informed at every step.
He provided us with unbiased and honest opinions about each listing, ensuring that our decision-making was informed and aligned with our best interests. Despite his busy schedule, Matt showed remarkable flexibility, always managing to accommodate us for showings, which highlighted his dedication to client service.
Beyond the personal interactions, we found immense value in Matt’s social media posts and newsletters, which are treasure troves of insights about the Chicago market and helped us make educated decisions.
The negotiation phase was where Matt truly showcased his value, advocating fiercely on our behalf to ensure we got the best deal possible. His expertise in navigating the complexities of contracts and negotiations was a game-changer for us.
Overall, our experience with Matt Laricy and his team was invaluable. He not only simplified the Chicago real estate market for us but also ensured that we received the best possible outcome from our investment. Matt Laricy and his team represent the pinnacle of value, expertise, and client dedication for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of real estate in Chicago. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance and wholeheartedly recommend him and his firm to anyone in search of top-tier real estate services.

Although it was our first time buying, I can't imagine a smoother process. We knew effectively nothing about buying a home the first time we talked to Matt and his team, but we were able to put in an offer in just over 2 weeks and closed within a month after that. Matt seemingly knows every building in Chicago by heart. We would ask him about various addresses we've seen online and whether they fit our criteria, and he could instantly give us all the details (rentability, washer dryers, assessments, any building issues, etc). His extremely efficient team was incredibly responsive and easily booked about thirty viewings in under a week with no hassle. He also had recommended contacts for everything else in the process (lender, attorney, inspections, etc), which only made the process so much more seamless.

My husband and I met Matt by chance when he showed us a property we found through Zillow. Even during our short first meeting, he stood out as someone knowledgable, hardworking, and honest. We had already started our search at that point, but our home-buying process entered a new era after we committed to working with Matt. He never asked us to sign an exclusivity agreement, and he didn’t need to. The Laricy group provided a level of service far beyond our expectations. Matt personally visited numerous properties with us (all our tours, in fact) while patiently guiding and encouraging us. His administrative team led by Gretchen was always on top of it, managing busy schedules and schedule changes. Jamie was a DREAM helping us navigate the complicated offer-to-closing process. We always knew multiple people were looking out for us and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Other agents in his group like JC were equally professional and knowledgeable. We recommend Matt and the Laricy Group 100% to anyone buying a home in Chicagoland. Although we cannot speak personally to the seller-side, I can only imagine it is equally as seamless. Thanks again!

I could not possibly have chosen a better realtor to help me buy my first home from out of state. He is the top agent in Chicago and for very good reasons. Very friendly, extremely responsive, thoroughly knowledgeable of both the neighborhoods and individual buildings, and adept at negotiations. Matt is also very ethical. Never pushed me beyond my budget or made me feel bad about how much I can afford. In fact, he tried to lower my budget many times. He got me a great condo in a great neighborhood at a phenomenal price, and the process was as smooth as it could be. In addition to Matt, his fantastic team will support you throughout the process.
I found Matt through his podcasts on YouTube, and during my "interview" with him, I just knew that he is the one. We had a 1-hour call to walk me through the process and he clearly knows what he's doing. One tip for helping you trust Matt: interview 3 agents and save Matt for last. Ask them how they evaluate comps (not analyze; wording is intentional) and compare their answers to Matt's. That alone will help you understand why Matt is top tier. Also, I highly recommend watching his YouTube videos. They'll inform you of the process, the market, and Matt as a person, and help you have a more educated conversation with him during your journey.
All in all, 5 out of 5 stars without a doubt!

Matt and his team are amazing. He sold our unit for us after we had moved from Chicago to the West Coast. From the time he got our listing until we closed on the sale of our condo, he was on it! I do not care what time of day I reached out, Matt always responded. I was kept up to date with all showings, calls and marketing materials. His team is deep & well trained by Matt.
Due to the real estate market & rising interest rates, we did not sell this unit as quickly as we had hoped. However, Matt’s weekly email updates with his insight as to the status of the micro markets in Chicago and his understanding of the Chicago market as a whole, kept us aware and informed while we waited for our unit to sell.
Another point worth mentioning was that our contract with Matt was set to end. We had decided to take it off the market for the holidays & then put it back on again in January. Matt actually got us an offer the day before the contract expired! He did not let up as we neared the end of our contract. Our deal was a fantastic all cash, 2 week close & we can’t thank Matt and his large experienced team for helping to get our unit sold.
Thank you, Matt! If we ever need a place in Chicago again, you will be our first call!

Matt Laricy and his team are truly the best in the industry. This is proven by the fact that listing agents and developers prefer working with him over other realtors. We are first time home buyers and Matt walked us through every step and was always there to help us. He truly knows so much about this industry and is extremely fun and enjoyable to work with. His assistants make the whole process 100 times easier as well. They are extremely organized and are always there to answer questions and help with all the small details that would have otherwise been overlooked. My husband and I have already recommended Matt to all of our friends and family. We truly are so happy with our experience.

Matt was great, literally got the purchase over the finish line. He understood I started out casually looking to buy, didn't waste time with properties that didn't fit at all, and got a very early look at a unit in my top building choice. What really stood out was when the lender (incorrectly) thought the deal couldn't close 9 days away from closing, Matt not only lined up a back-up lender who could still close in time, but used his contacts at my lender to properly review the perceived issue and get the deal done. We definitely would not have closed on time without Matt and likely not at all. This really set Matt apart from past real estate experiences and I'll be using him in the future.

Matt Laricy and his team - just AWESOME!!! We worked with them in 2019 and loved the experience so much that came back again in 2023. Very professional, on top of things, extremely knowledgeable and available pretty much round the clock. Lots of handholding (if you are a new buyer) and really work keeping in mind the buyers interest in mind first. They were very patient with us during our search in 2019 (condo buy in downtown) and 2023 (house buy in north suburbs). I would 1000% recommend working with Matt Laricy group and a special shout out to Matt Piegza who worked with us end to end, very patiently on our property search! Thank you so much!

Matt has a lot of experience in the Chicago real estate market and a great team that makes buying easy. They run a high volume business and you won't get as much personalized attention as from a smaller shop, but you'll still get great service. Check out his Youtube channel too, it has lot of great info on the real estate market.

As first time homebuyers in a tough market, we had a lot of questions! Matt was patient, thorough in explaining the details of how everything would work, and ultimately guided us through an exciting townhouse purchase that checked all our boxes. We felt well-taken care of throughout the home buying process, and appreciated Matt’s confidence in his abilities and his team’s. We never felt pushed into anything or dismissed for our questions or instincts. It was also nice to see how respected Matt is by other realtors who are excited to do business with him. We also appreciated the directness of every interaction—our time never felt wasted. We would absolutely recommend working with Matt!

I normally do not leave reviews after using any services, but I definitely need to for Matt and the rest of the team. I worked with Matt as a first time home buyer and himself, as well as the rest of the group, were awesome to work with. Matt was very quick to respond to any questions and requests that I had, regardless of the day or time I sent anything over. He would always give me a call if I needed to walk through something and made sure to break concepts or points down which was helpful as I had a lot to learn throughout the process. I can't recommend Matt and team enough - they made this process and painless as possible for myself and I am very glad I made the decision to work with them.

This is my second time working with Matt & team. He helped me purchase a condo when I moved to Chicago a few years ago, and he helped me sell the same condo now as I relocate out of the area.
He and his team are just as responsive, organized, and on top of things as they were the first time around. They're easy to get ahold of, always responsive to questions, and put forth their best efforts on each transaction. They also went out of their way to help me coordinate moving logistics.

Matt did a phenomenal job with helping us find our home! Extremely professional, knowledgeable, whilst simultaneously friendly and easy to communicate with. Matt answered so many of our questions and was able to help us through the entire buying process step-by-step which was very helpful, especially as a first-time homebuyer. Working with him greatly reduced the amount of stress that comes with buying your first property as he made sure everything was done correctly and in a timely manner. He worked to negotiate the price of the property down successfully, and was very transparent on what to expect during each step of the process, and even provided a competitive market analysis for the property before we submitted an offer. Matt is definitely someone who consistently goes above and beyond, and we would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a smooth buying experience in Chicago.

Matt and his team have to be the best in Chicago and it's not even close. Matt works relentlessly and tirelessly for his clients. He made the process seamless from listing to staging to closing and everything in between. We were out of state sellers and Matt and his team took care of EVERYTHING. Repairs before closing, handymen in the interim, countless things. This market is not ideal for sellers or buyers but Matt did not get discouraged one bit, in fact, his pursuit for the best deal only increased with time. He did maybe 6 or 7 open houses; every week or other week, followed up with all interested parties and tracked all activity so you always knew what was going on. And there was a ton going on, more than you would ever expect from a broker. One other aspect that I appreciated is his knowledge of the market. He sends weekly emails on the market pulse. These aren't fluff, fill in the blank templates. Rather they are curated, timely market heat maps that are helpful as a participant in the resi market. If I wasn't Matt's client or another agent, I would actually pay for these as it has so much insider info that you would only know if you were on the ground, moving volume like Matt does.
If I had one piece of advice for Matt and his team it would be to never change. Great job Laricy Team. Would recommend 10/10.

Matt and his team are ROCK STARS. I listed my condo a few years ago with another agent but took it off the market. When I was ready to relist the unit, I knew I wanted a better experience than before. I had met Matt several years when shopping around for a condo. Although I didn't go with him at the time, it was a decision I later regretted. I'm so glad he was the agent on my seller's transaction!! Matt and his team not only delivered, but exceeded my expectations. The things within the team's control, like responsiveness and transparency, were flawless. And the challenges outside of their control they helped me manage (e.g. seller demands). We listed the unit in May and closed in June. I plan to use Matt and team for our future real estate transactions.

Jamie and Lisa were both fantastic and equally efficient. We never had to wait more than a few minutes before hearing back on a question no matter how obscure.

From start to finish, Matt’s expertise, dedication, and professionalism were evident every step of the way. I cannot recommend Matt and his team highly enough. Right from our first meeting, Matt impressed me with his in-depth knowledge of the market and the selling process. Throughout the selling journey, communication was exemplary. Matt and his team maintained open lines of dialogue, keeping me informed about every development, from listing preparations to potential buyers' feedback. Their prompt responses to my queries demonstrated their commitment to customer satisfaction. I always felt like a priority, and their genuine care for my concerns was truly refreshing. When it came to marketing my property, Matt and his team showcased their exceptional skills. They employed a multi-faceted marketing strategy, leveraging both traditional and digital channels to reach a broad range of prospective buyers. Their attention to staging, professional photography, and captivating descriptions made my property truly shine, attracting a significant number of interested parties. What truly impressed me was Matt’s negotiation prowess. He skillfully represented my interests, securing a fantastic offer that exceeded my expectations. His ability to navigate complex negotiations, coupled with his market knowledge, ensured a successful outcome. I felt confident throughout the process, knowing that I had a seasoned professional advocating for me. Closing the deal was a seamless experience, thanks to Matt and his team.

Their commitment to timelines and deadlines was unwavering, allowing me to relax and focus on other aspects of the move. In summary, Matt is an exceptional professional who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations.

If offered the opportunity to work with their legal partners, take it. Lisa and Jena collectively assured that no detail was overlooked and made certain we understood the entire process as we moved toward closing. In making the move to Chicago from another state, we simply could not have asked for a better team to represent our interests as we searched for, negotiated, and closed on our new home.

My colleague's recommendation of Matt has been his greatest contribution to our working relationship. As a first-time home buyer, newly relocated to Chicago, and jump-starting my career in the area, buying a home felt like a very daunting task. Rather than being stressful, exploring the housing market with Matt was enjoyable, exciting, and fun. Matt is very experienced, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. While working with him, I could tell he had the highest level of expertise in the Chicagoland market.
He knows exactly what to look for, what questions to ask, and is very attentive to detail. Most importantly, he's very sincere and authentic - always having my best interest in mind. Matt’s entire team is extremely diligent, responsive, and easy to work with. Throughout the completion and closing of the new construction condo I purchased, his team provided white glove service and managed the entire process seamlessly. This relieved me of considerable stress, allowing me to focus on other commitments. I highly recommend working with the Matt Laricy team and look forward to working with them again in the future!

I was a first-time home buyer. To sum up my experience with Matt & his team, I'd say it was smooth, educational, logical and fun! I enjoyed working with Matt & his team as they were super approachable, understanding, professional & quick to assist!
For the readers desiring more details, I have much to say. Being completely new to the world of real estate (RE), I poured through Zillow, Zenlist, Redfin & Realtor, and went on multiple condo tours. During one such routine-exercise of scrolling through Zillow, I came across a condo listed by Matt. While I did not purchase that particular property, I am glad that it got me in touch with Matt and his team.
Matt was professional, considerate & insightful right from the beginning. Prior to my first viewing, he organised a video call with me to understand the kind of properties I was interested in; unlike any of the other RE agents, he also provided me an overview of both (i) the Chicagoland housing-market, and (ii) all the steps involved in completing a successful purchase. I remember binge-watching Matt's Youtube channel that night to learn more about Chicago RE & sound smarter the next time around. His videos (and podcasts) are fun & value-adding.
During my home-search process, I worked with Catherine from Matt's team. Catherine was responsible for suggesting potential properties of interest and scheduling tours with the selling side. Friendly, punctual, informed & most importantly, candid, are the first few words that come to mind, when describing her. Catherine was quite accommodating when scheduling viewings, some even being requested the day of. For a first-time buyer, the process of home-hunting can be a bit overwhelming & having a friendly face to reach out to really helps. After having selected a condo, Catherine was instrumental in providing me with a comprehensive comparative market analysis & procuring a mutually-agreeable offer.
Once finalised, I again jumped on a call with Matt, who reiterated the next steps (like mortgage-downpayment, attorney review, inspection negotiation and other nuances of the closing process) in detail. This is when Jamie came into the picture. She was responsible for requesting, scheduling & following up on each of the mentioned steps. Jamie did a fantastic job, thanks to her stellar organisational skills & industrious work-ethic. I also appreciated her jumping on several impromptu calls with me, especially towards the end of the purchase process.
Overall, my advice to anyone looking to buy/sell their first (or nth) home would be to work with Matt & his amazing team. You will be in friendly & capable hands! I wish Matt and his team success & fulfillment as they earnestly work towards helping people find their dream homes.

Matt Laricy was introduced to us through the Northwestern University Internal Medicine Residency Program. Our daughter picked a different Realtor as she wanted to work with her friend who was working with this realtor. Our entire family was here for that one weekend and we also made an offer on an apartment to buy. However, the said realtor neither moved on our offer and told my daughter inappropriate things about her mother. This unprofessional behavior and her lack of understanding of the extreme brevity of our timeline to buy the apartment led me to drop her. At this moment, I reestablished my communication with Matt and explained the whole situation. Matt did not need to take me on as his client, but he understood our situation and brought us onboard, despite our daughter's initial choice. He introduced us to his staff via email and they couldn't be nicer and super efficient. Joe Novak showed us the houses that were picked by me and some that he thought we would like. I couldn't be happier with anyone as Joe was an amazing individual who took care of our needs in real estate with such diligence and patience. Once the offer was made (which happened within a couple days), the rest of the staff came in and dove right in. We closed in record time after the offer in New York and moved in the next day to our gorgeous apartment. I highly recommend Matt Laricy and his team. They are professional, no nonsense, caring and right on target. Couldn't have had a better experience! Matt and his team will be the ones I would choose if and when we upsize and would be delighted to recommend him to everybody!

Working w Matt was great. He was highly knowledgeable about the chicago market at both micro and macro levels. He had excellent data driven insight into market conditions during our search. I appreciated his willingness to both teach and guide throughout the process. He had outstanding insights and recommendations on our various neighborhood and property selections. When you're looking for a place it's easy as a buyer to get tunnel vision, and Matt always had a well-considered list of pros and cons for us to weigh so we went into offers as informed as possible. He also had a helpful network of patient, professional, and supportive partners to help through the process. E.g., Lenders, inspectors, lawyers. He followed up multiple times after the sale to see if we were doing ok, and had volunteered to be a potential resource for connecting us to reliable crews for rennovation. Very highly recommend him and his team. Great people.

Matt is the best in the biz. We first met with Matt a year ago, before we were ready to buy, to get a better understanding of the home buying process. He met with us, gave us a clear understanding of the process and provided incredibly helpful resources for us to get & stay educated about the ever changing market
A year later, when we were finally ready to buy, he helped us navigate the market and quickly negotiated an offer for us. During every step of the closing process, he and his team were extremely organized and clearly outlined next steps. And along the way, Matt & team consistently provided their insight & even provided us a list of referrals for during & after close
As first time buyers, we were daunted by the home buying process but he & his team made it incredibly easy and stress free, which is testament to their expertise. If buying in Chicago, 100% recommend working with Matt. We’re looking forward to working with him in the future!

I was a first time home buyer overwhelmed with the prospect of finding a home In a large expensive city. Matt started by meeting with me to explain the process and answer any questions I had. I appreciated that I never felt pressure from him to commit to anything I didn't want to before giving things more thought.
Matt's team was patient as they helped me schedule showings week after week until I found the right fit for me. Matt and his team's knowledge and experience was extremely valuable during this time as I learned more about exactly what I was looking for and how to value those features in the listings I saw.
Matt's communication and professional was top notch as he responds to emails quickly, and I was always able to get helpful answers to my questions same day. When it came time to negotiate I felt comfortable knowing matt was in my corner and would fight for what I wanted and what he thought was good for me.
If you're looking to buy in Chicago, reach out to Matt and he can help.

I sold my condo with Matt in a tough market. I appreciated his professionalism from the outset (he appeared to our initial meeting in a suit and had a detailed PowerPoint to quickly walk through). His communication & interest was also exemplary. When we met, I was still a couple months away from listing my property, and he stayed in touch throughout.
Once the listing was complete, Matt and his team were almost rabid about getting a qualified buyer. In a tough market, this meant many showings, lots of communication with buyers' agents, and so on. It was clear to me that Matt and his team were putting in 110% effort.
When offers started to come in, Matt quickly advised me about which offers I should ignore and which I should take seriously. There was no attempt to get me to accept a bad offer -- in fact, he was blunt when he thought a particular buyer was trying to "lowball me."
I was very happy to leave the transaction in Matt's hands and leave the details to his team. If you fit my profile, and above everything else want a Realtor who will find a good buyer & offer, I would strongly recommend the Laricy team.

As a first-time buyer everyone told me the process would be stressful, clearly these people have never worked with Matt and his team. I cannot fault anything from start to finish.

I would not hesitate to use Matt and Team again in the future.

Matt and his entire team made the sale of our home effortless in a tough market. They were with us every step of the way from staging to listing to the final deal and closing and made everything seamless. We were well informed throughout the process with real time updates and feedback from every showing. Matt’s data driven marketing strategy and follow-up with realtors and potential buyers helped drive steady traffic and sell our property in a slow summer market. His team was very efficient during closing process minimizing our need to be involved. We will certainly work with Matt for our future real estate transactions.

Matt and his team was honest, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process.

Let me start with saying Matt and team is the partner you need to have on your side for any real estate transaction in Chicago area. Full stop.
Our situation We had moved out of state and the day we were going to list our home suffered damage from leaking HVAC pipe. From that day on Matt helped us navigate through insurance, contractors and set the right expectations.
About Matt and team Matt, his team and partners (attorney, photographer, stagers) are all A+.
Super responsive but yet deliberate for the long term for the right deal to come through Feel intimate yet are thorough professionals and know everything there is to know about real estate industry Patient enough to answer newbie questions….know the art and science of negotiation….getting people to your property…..and above all masters of human behavior when it comes to the world of real estate There is a reason Matt and team are rated that high and they truly deserve that.

This is the second time I've used Matt and his team, this time to buy a condo. I really want to tell everyone to stop your search here, you’ve just found the best realtor. I'm more than impressed (again) with how easy and seamless they made the entire process. I purchased from out of state, while working nights, with barely any availability to oversee each step and I wasn’t present for most of it. I felt comfortable because Matt and his team are true professionals, and they operate like a well-oiled machine. They’ll get you the best deal, refer you to the best people when needed and literally take care of everything. I was barely involved and trusted Matt to have my best interests as his priority. Despite knowing that purchasing a property is one of life’s most stressful events, I was relaxed and happy, and the reason is because no matter what comes up, Matt’s got it. What meant the most to me though was that despite my buying a relatively inexpensive property, Matt and his team still treated me like I was their most important client (again). I’ll never use another realtor in Chicago and am pretty sad that they do not operate in other states. This is not a side hustle for them. They live, breathe, and love real estate and it shows. Their conduct and appearance radiate true professionalism and mastering of their industry. After the sale, Matt reached out several times to make sure that I didn’t need anything. He truly cares about his clients. This is what buying a property should feel like! To Matt, John Paul, Jamie, and the whole team – thank you so much for everything!

He has a deep bench of contacts to help you get the house ready for sale, and his team's communication and updates are top notch. Our transaction had a couple hiccups along the way, and Matt was invaluable at sorting thru and figuring out a solution for the issues.

Matt Laricy and his team are hands down the most professional, honest, knowledgeable, and responsive group. Working with Matt and his team is like working with a well-oiled machine. He utilizes the most current technology to manage his clients and to attract the right buyers. We were very impressed with how organized his team was and how responsive they were. Matt has thought of everything a client would need and has a team to support you. Be prepared to expect personalized Wednesday and Saturday reports on the market and your home activity. We thought selling our home would be stressful and were pleasantly surprised with how easy and smooth it was. The only reason it was smooth was because of the level of support given by the Laricy group. Matt literally has a person for every step in the process. Matt and JP were able to sell our home at asking price in less than 2 weeks. If you are reading this to figure out if you should list with Matt, stop reading and call him. You will not be disappointed.

Matt is absolutely fantastic. My husband and I worked with Matt and his team to buy a condo. As a first time buyer, we were completely clueless before we started looking, and before Matt, we tried two other realtors. With neither of them did we feel like the complexities of buying a home made sense to us, but Matt patiently helped us understand the process, and through his vast knowledge explained all the details. He also provided his honest opinions on every aspect which was extremely helpful for us to navigate through the ambiguities of the process. Everyone on Matt's team is excellent, and any problem or question we had, he either knew the answer to, or referred us to someone who did. Everyone on the team, especially Matt, were extremely responsive to our requests, always willing to help to make sure our needs were met.

Matt Laricy was our realtor when we bought our condo in 2018 and when we sold it four years later. Without question, he has our highest recommendation, and we would use him again. Matt knows the Chicago real estate market well and imparts his knowledge to clients to make best decisions for themselves. He has a full team to assist in all aspects of buying and selling that is tech savvy and customer focused which made it exceptionally easy even though we live out of town. Matt is fully connected to the real estate community including supporting contractors which resulted in a fantastically staged and photographed marketing package, sound pricing recommendations, and quick resolution when unanticipated repairs were required just prior to closing. Exceptionally responsive, he often answered questions even before asked and offered sound advice throughout the buying and selling processes. His customized approach made us feel like we were his only customer, but his volume of sales gives him connections and access to other realtors resulting in more views and a quick offer. Matt Laricy and his team has our strongest recommendations. We give him an A++.

We choose Laricy because the agency sells more private homes in downtown Chicago than any other. I also learned a lot about the process from his pod casts and weekly market updates.

Matt was quick to respond to any question I had. He’s extremely competent, concise, and I was 100% comfortable trusting the advice he gave me. He has assembled a quality team ans I can’t say enough about how great my experience was with him.

I am a first time homeowner and I began my search on Zillow with the intent to buy an apartment. I contacted Matt to assist me in getting a showing for an apartment and began working with him and his team to find the perfect apartment. He and his team were invaluable to me in finding the apartment that was right for me and I definitely wouldn’t have done it without them!
Matt had knowledge regarding every building and area I wanted to go view and was very communicative with me. He always answered emails or phone calls promptly, which reassured me that he respected my time and took my search seriously.
He and his team were so easy to work with and I really felt like they valued me as a client and went into every situation with my best interest in mind. Matt was very organized and concise, which made the process as easy as it could have possibly been for me. I had little to no knowledge of the purchase process, but I was kept up to date and informed every step of the way. Our primary method of contact was via email, but he made sure to discuss anything complicated or if I was confused about anything via phone call or meeting. Making sure I understood the process and what was going on at all times was a big help in getting me to the finish line of purchasing my new apartment!
I am very grateful to have had Matt as my realtor during my first time home purchase and would absolutely recommend him!!

Matt and his team are top notch and second to none. They have a proven system to get deals done in a swift and efficient manner. During probably one of the worst Downtown Chicago real estate markets since 2008, Matt brought multiple offers to the table and ultimately got us the best offer that closed just before the Holidays. I ran into my neighbor down the hall as we were emptying our condo and she congratulated me on our sale and said she wished she had gone with Matt as her unit most likely will sit on the market well into the New Year!

Matt and his team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire home buying experience. From the very beginning they were responsive, informative, transparent, and patient. Once we narrowed our search down to the property that we wanted, Matt was able to give us a spot on estimate of pricing and comparisons. He then backed it up with remarkable negotiation skills that got us into the perfect home. I couldn't recommend Matt and his team more.

We just moved into our dream home on the Chicago lakefront in an iconic, architecturally and historically significant co-op building in north Streeterville. Our journey began with Matt agreeing to show us the apartment even after I shared with him that my wife and I were most likley headed for California after living in Chicago for 61 years. Matt and his team guided us through the process which is unique to co-op builidings (which are rare and unique to Chicago) and while there were several twists and turns to navigate, we made it through. Thank you Matt, Jamie and your full team. We're grateful to have the unique place to live which we consider as an opportunity to live in a piece of art and invest in one as well.

We worked with Matt over the past two years. He and his team were at all times professional, courteous, and truly cared about serving our needs. He continuously provided us with monthly reports, not only on how our real estate sale was progressing, but also key news on the Chicago area. We also received prompt notices whenever a potential buyer was scheduled to view our property and immediate follow up on the status. The pandemic created additional challenges for Matt and his team but he persevered. We would highly recommend Matt and his team, which not only included his company staff, but also recommendations for a real estate attorney who was likewise attentive to our property, and our concerns, walking us step by step through the sales process, right up through negotiations and close. Hats off to a job well done!

The world works because of people like Matt Laricy. Matt was incredibly responsive and helped me navigate the homebuying process as a first-time buyer. What I find most valuable about working with Matt is his in-depth knowledge of a large percentage of Chicago real estate and his direct, to-the-point communication style that makes the search for the right property as frictionless and efficient as can be. The rest of his team, such as Mickey Hobson, was incredibly professional and great to work with. I feel very comfortable recommending Matt Laricy to my friends & coworkers when they are considering buying a place in the City.

Matt and his team are the BEST, hands down. He lives and breathes the Chicago market and truly has a pulse on buying/selling trends and the "sweet-spot" of the true price of a property. Matt was straight forward and gave me great advice throughout the process of selling my condo in the Gold Coast. His photographer and video crew did an exceptional job of highlighting the features of my home - so much so that I fell in love with the place all over again. Do yourself a favor and sign on with Matt. He made what could have been a very stressful few months a breeze because I knew I could trust him. If you are looking for a team to really help you have a seamless process - give Matt a call!

During the pandemic we were not having a positive time selling our condo in the E. Lakeview area. After a year, we decided a new approach with a team that could get our place in front of the greatest audience quickly. After combing through many real estate people and looking for someone that really understood the current market, we were most impressed by Matt and his group. We watched his YouTube videos and listened to his thoughts as well as interviewed him to get his insight about our specific property. Feeling most comfortable with his perspective and teams capabilities, we signed up with Matt. We listed on a Friday, had 7 showings in 2 days and an offer by Monday morning. We could not have been happier. Even though we had a short but welcomed engagement with Matt, he and his team were in constant contact about the progress of the sale throughout. I highly recommend his group as your real estate agent especially during turbulent times.

They are very responsive to emails and calls. I knew if I had a question they would provide me with a through answer quick.

Matt and his team were absolutely fantastic for the entire processing. Matt was professional, straight shooter, authentic and very responsive. Matt knows about the market conditions in our area, but never pushed us to sell at a certain price. He was able to sell without listing in the MLS and negotiate the closing date since we were moving out of the state. Jamie also was total awesome throughout the process. I highly recommend Matt and his team.

This was my first foray into real estate investing and so I went into the process blindly. Matt was the perfect agent to help. He is knowledgeable, diligent, responsive, hands on, and has a team of people (who are equally great) who literally helped guide me through every step of the process. From connecting me with a great lender and property manager, to finding me a tenant, Matt and his team do it all and if they don't do something they know someone that does. The purchase was seamless and flawless. He has made me feel confident that I could do this again. He is the best agent I have ever worked with. If I decide to continue to invest in the Chicago market, I would never consider anyone else. I couldn't recommend anyone more.

From the time we happened upon Matt he was completely true to his word. Never any high pressure tactics or expectations. His knowledge of Chicago, neighborhoods and the policies and rules was instrumental to our search. Once he learned of our priorities and preferences he was easily able to help us focus on those neighborhoods that would most fulfill our needs. While that was our foremost objective, Matt and his team made the process actually "fun." They have an impeccable attitude and their work ethic, skill and professionalism are out of this world. You simply cannot go wrong working with The Matt Laricy Group for your real estate needs.

My fiancée and I chose Matt's team for our Condo search due to their great reviews online. Now that we're on the other side of the buying process I can certainly see WHY Matt has such good feedback! From being quick to respond to emails to having no issues with the seemingly endless questions I kept sending his way, we truly felt supported and heard throughout the entire process. Great customer service service aside, Matt knows the market extremely well and did a great job steering us in the right direction. I'm confident we wouldn't have had nearly as smooth of a buying process without his expertise and advice. When the time comes to buy our next place in Chicago I know who we'll be coming back to!

Matt Laricy and team are simply outstanding! From start to finish, they are a force to be reckoned with. I called Matt and he was at our condo that same evening to talk about selling in an already difficult downtown market. He was very knowledgeable, personable and had the tenacity that sets him apart. Communication was amazing. He responded to texts and calls almost immediately. The marketing was spectacular: drone video, amazing photos, social media, app for showings- you name it; he's got it! Matt sold our condo for the highest possible price when others had said it couldn't be done. His assistant Jamie was amazing. She was available 24/7 and streamlined the process and email communication between all parties. I highly recommend Matt Laricy and team, I couldn't be happier with the selling experience! Thank you!

With the pandemic lock-down in full-swing, we knew it would be challenging selling our condo located right outside the loop. We went with Matt's team because of the great reviews we saw online, and we firsthand experienced why everyone had nothing but positive things to say. Not only was his communication phenomenal (almost immediate email responses, clear and concise text updates), but the information and advice Matt provided along the way was extremely helpful. We could really tell that Matt has a deep understanding of the markets he brokers, and he uses that understanding to fight tooth and nail to get the best deal possible for his clients. Not only that, but the contacts Matt has to service the various parts of a deal (attorneys, contractors, inspectors) all performed high quality work with minimal intervention required from myself, for very competitive prices no less! I can't recommend Matt enough, and am still impressed how fluidly he helped us navigate a normally stressful process through an abnormally stressful time. Huge thanks to Matt, Jamie, and the rest of his team for all their help and hard work!

Matt Laricy is the best. He helped us sell our heart-of-the-city condo in a terrible market after a previous deal with another broker fell through at the last minute. During this very long, stressful process, he kept us informed about trends in the market and the reality of the situation. Although sometimes it was hard to hear, we knew we were getting the truth. And despite our millions of questions, he remained calm, personable, and readily available to talk to us on a moment's notice. Once our property was under contract, Matt's incredible team took over and moved us toward closing seamlessly. Every recommendation he offered throughout the process -- from staging company to attorney -- was top notch. There were no snafus. They had expertise and confidence and we knew we were in good hands. Jamie Price is fantastic at keeping things on track and communicating with the client. Matt got the job done...perfectly.

Matt and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. As first time buyers who were purchasing out of state, Matt and team worked above and beyond to answer any questions we had, provide a clear, understandable structure of navigating an easily complicated process, and basically provided high quality customer service experience.
Matt and his team were obviously very knowledgable about the Chicago housing market and helped us navigate a foreign terrain, especially since both my partner and I are new to the city. Matt and team made several accommodations to allow us to view virtually and in-person (following COVID safety protocols). Lastly, his connections and recommendations for legal, loan, and other types of assistance all also provided high quality services.
I have no reservations about working with Matt and his team and would definitely work with them again in the future. I highly recommend this team for an immaculate home buying experience!

As a first time home buyer, the process can be very intimidating and stressful, however, working with Matt made the process exciting and efficient. From our first zoom meeting, he helped me to develop a great plan for my home search and gave me confidence that his market expertise would help me fulfill my goal of becoming a homeowner. After which, I began receiving weekly market updates and check-ins via email and text prior to when I started my formal search.
Once I was ready to hit the ground running, his team continued to impress me with their organization. Matt was always extremely fast to answer any question I had via call, text, or email. His executive assistant, Jamie, always kept everyone in the loop with google calendar invites for showings, email updates, and a google drive document keeping track of all important steps. Additionally, they set up a dropbox specifically to keep all of the MLS listings for units seen, which I found to be extremely helpful. Mickey, a broker within his company, accompanied me to all of my showings, providing an unbiased sounding board, while contributing his real estate expertise.
When it came time to make an offer, Matt walked my through all of the steps and fought hard to get me the best deal possible. His negotiating skills were excellent, and he was able to provide me with an end price I was comfortable with. From there, he made sure everything was accounted for in order to reach and have a successful closing. From the big things like the inspection and financing options, to reminding me to make sure the electric was in my name once I moved, he thought of everything to be done. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone! He and his team were truly fantastic and I have them to thank for helping me get my first home! Thank you!

Matt and the entire Laricy team (Special Thanks to Jamie Price!) were spectacular throughout the whole process. We were moving out of state for work and needed to sell asap, and his whole team were extremely helpful in making the entire process quick and easy. Having moved out of state before the listing went live, they explained the process down to the last detail and listened to our needs without making us feel pushy, uninformed or intimidated. We got an offer on our condo in less than 2 weeks and closed in a month. Matt and Jamie were extremely professional, direct, and guided us along the way for a fair and honest price for us and the buyer. Their response time was unmatched and were available basically 24/7 for our needs. His team suggested an excellent lawyer, which we used and communication between the two and us was well organized and they all made sure we knew where we were through every step of the process.

We had heard amazing things about Matt from our friends and he did not disappoint! As first time home buyers, there was a lot that we didn’t know about the process. From day one, Matt and his team guided us efficiently, making sure that we had all of the information we needed. Matt’s knowledge of the market helped narrow what started as a wide search within 2-3 weeks. When we found our perfect home, Matt expertly handled all negations and was able to get our offer accepted over others. Matt and his team were quick to respond to our questions and kept us on track with a checklist from offer through close. We were never concerned about missing a step or deadline because they were on top of it. All documents were handled quickly and electronically up until closing. The team suggested an excellent lawyer, mortgage lender, and inspector, and we felt that each provided as exceptional service as Matt and and his team. We would heartily recommend Matt! He made the process easier than we ever imagined, and even recommended a local pizza place.

Matt is hands down amazing at what he does. This is my second home purchase (my husband’s first) with him and during both purchases I was in a multi offer situation, but Matt got them done! In our most recent purchase, in this crazy market, there were 5 other aggressive offers on the house. Matt laid out a strategy and talked us through what he thought the house was worth, the upside and the downside to various offers and guided us on what we needed to do to potentially get our offer accepted. And it worked!
Matt is great to work with. He responds to texts, emails and calls within minutes no matter the time or day. I also appreciate how he doesn’t have a “salesperson” type of personality. He gives his honest opinion, even if it’s not what you want to hear. His confidence in what he does made the process of buying our biggest asset much easier. I also want to make sure I acknowledge his amazing team. Catherine and Mickey helped us along the way and Jamie is with you 24/7. The entire group is a dream team. You won’t regret using them. They will put you first and won’t stop until they get you what you want.

Matt and his team were amazing to work with. He helped us to buy a condo ~8 years ago and was phenomenal to work with then. When we were ready to sell our condo during the pandemic after finding a house in the burbs, we initially made a mistake and worked with a different realtor. The suburban company offered a discounted commission rate to work with them, so we gave it a try. We learned our lesson! After 6 months and no success, it was a no brainer to contact Matt and his team for help. They were AMAZING! He told us exactly what we needed to do to get the job done. He provided regular and timely updates on his marketing efforts, and the return on those efforts. We saw an immediate increase in interest in our property both with online views and in-person showings. We even had a more successful open house during what are typically dead months than we had in all of the 6 months working with the other realtor during prime selling time. He and his team put 150% into all of their work and he helped us sell FINALLY in record timing. Hands down we would use Matt Laricy again in a heartbeat. His expertise is invaluable.

Matt and his team, especially John Paul, were amazing to work with when I bought my condo, and were incredibly responsive when issues inevitably arose. They clearly know the market, and were able to provide valuable insight when it came to comparing and contrasting different homes. They assisted me throughout the entire process, from seeing homes, to making an offer, until the closing date. They even continued to answer and assist with issues after closing, which was incredible. To anyone looking or even thinking of buying a home in Chicago, I highly recommend reaching out to Matt and his team.

We recently completed our third real estate transaction with Matt Laricy and his talented team!! This was our first time as sellers. Matt and his whole team were once again amazing. They are so organized, straight forward, and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns! We believe this would be true no matter what the property price. They make you feel like you are their most important client! They walk you through every part of the process and make certain that you are comfortable and understand everything. They have been particularly accommodating during the pandemic and offered no-contact listing and closing for us, which we really appreciated. We received feedback via text immediately after each showing from the agent who represented us that day. They followed up all showings with a call to the potential buyer’s agent to get feedback and then relayed this feedback to us. We received daily updates from some of the online listing sites and a weekly summary from Matt himself with not only how our property was doing but how the market on the whole was doing, as well. Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend The Matt Laricy Group. In our opinion, you won’t find anyone who knows Chicago real estate better than Matt!! Thanks, Matt and the entire Matt Laricy Team!!

We are truly happy and thankful to Matt Laricy and his team for their services. Matt made our first time home buying process super easy and organized. We knew nothing about neighborhoods when we first started our search. Matt, explained us about all the neighborhoods considering our search criteria and is able to describe the local neighborhood on every block. He provided us with abundance of education material on home purchase. He is open to listening, super patient, has a wide knowledge about the market, extremely professional and passionate about his work and responds to texts, email and calls at anytime of the day!!
Thanks to Jamie. she was constantly in touch with us. she was always available for us even after moving to our new home. she stayed on top of things and helped us with our questions with Sellers.
We are happy first time home buyers and glad to work with Matt Laricy and Team!!

I found my realtor for LIFE! Matt Laricy is professional, personable, efficient, honest, determined and has a vast knowledge of all aspects of real estate. He is passionate about his career and it truly shows in his work ethic. He and his team made buying my first home such a pleasure and breeze. I was amazed at how easy it was to set up home viewings through an electronic calendar to using Google docs to stay organized. Matt answers emails at any hour of the day, I don’t think he ever sleeps, and he makes sure you are never left feeling neglected or uninformed. Matt was there every step of the way; before the sale, during the sale, and even after the sale (recommending handymen and licensed professionals to fix a few minor repairs). Matt is an excellent negotiator and he helped me get the best deal on my property. I would HIGLY recommend Matt Laricy if you are looking for a realtor that you can trust and who will not disappoint.

We truly feel like we struck gold finding Matt and his team! As first time home buyers relocating to Chicago from across the country, Matt and team made every aspect of the process enjoyable. They helped to answer all of our questions, accommodated our schedules and time zone differences, provided sound guidance regarding the city and various neighborhoods, and most importantly, helped us land our dream first home! We could not have asked for a better group to work with and will certainly return for our future Chicago real estate needs! I would highly recommend The Matt Laricy Group.

tl;dr Matt is professional, attentive and honest. Highly recommended.
My wife and I were considering Chicago for a possible short term place to live and long term rental property. We really didn't know too much and reached out to Matt for help.
Matt immediately responded and was very straightforward with us. He listened to our goals, told us what could work and what to expect. He didn't pressure us at all and was very available. We ultimately decided that Chicago wasn't for us at this time, but if we do in the future, Matt is who we will call.

This is my second time around working with Matt and his team, and I am so glad I returned. Matt helped me a close on a condo this October. Right from the time I expressed interested in buying earlier in the summer to signing on the dotted line, Matt was the most supportive, reliable and trusted partner. He was patient with me as I explored many neighborhoods, explained the details, pros/cons of every single condo we visited, obviously knows all the buildings very well and helped me navigate a multiple bid situation with the condo I finally landed on. His team was so on point during the closing process, I never had to think about much on my own. All in all, he made it so easy and painless, I am so grateful to him. I would recommend him any day!

I cannot say enough about Matt and his team. Complete professionals. I was alittle on the fence about putting up my place during a pandemic, but I'm glad I did in the end.
For every small, random, seemingly insignificant question I had they always responded within a few hours, sometimes with minutes, with a response. Matt and his team were great to work and they were on top of everything. I cannot say enough good things about the whole process and how easy it seemed.

I cannot recommend Matt Laricy and his incredible team enough. He is one of the hardest working men I have ever met, and his dedication to his clients is unmatched. I could not have imagined a better home buying experience.
For every question I had they always responded within a few hours (often within minutes) with an excellent and thorough answer. Every step of the house search/closing process, I felt like I was very well informed and in great hands. Even when I had no questions or comments, they made sure to check in twice a week to ensure that I was taken care of and everything was moving along smoothly.
In addition, Matt's negotiation skills are unparalleled. His knowledge and relationships with the other agents in the industry along with his reputation give him tremendous leverage to get you into the right home at an incredible price.
With Matt Laricy, you are in great hands. You will feel confident and comfortable from day 1 through closing. At the end of the day, you will know that you made the right purchase at a great price, and you will be satisfied throughout the entire home buying process.

We can’t give Matt enough stars. If you’re looking for a realtor, don’t second guess it. Just choose Matt! We intended to interview several realtors, but we met with Matt first and knew instantly we didn’t need to meet with anyone else! Matt told us in our first meeting that he doesn’t sugar coat anything, and that was something we wanted in a realtor. He is very fun (we seriously miss our showing days cruising around the city!) and professional, but doesn’t waste your time or beat around the bush. He always had the best advice and expertise!
He knows everything there is to know about Chicago real estate. Seriously, he had an answer to everything- even when the listing agent didn’t know. He’s very busy but doesn’t rush your showings and allows you to take the time you need/ask your questions. Matt and his team made the closing process SO EASY with shared documents, step by step process, continual checkins, etc. We also used his recommendations for pretty much everything (inspector, mortgage, attorney, and probably more I’m forgetting!) and literally everyone he recommended was amazing! Through the entire process every aspect of working with Matt was smooth from start to finish.
We had total trust in Matt and we found our home in just two weeks (and actually we saw our home on the first weekend of showings!). Our advice: Don’t overthink it, pick Matt, and then let him lead with his process! He won’t steer you wrong!

Matt Laricy is our hero. As is Jamie, and everyone else we worked with at the Matt Laricy Group, not to mention, everyone they referred us to (attorney, inspector, etc.) was also top notch. We don't know what we did right to get so lucky to work with Matt and his group, but as first time home buyers, the daunting task of home buying we had always expected, turned out to be one of the most smooth, exciting, and FUN experiences we've had. Every step of the way we felt heard, informed, organized, & immediately felt we could trust and have confidence in everyone supporting our search. We cannot recommend Matt Laricy's Group more! So responsive and helpful the whole way through. We will be sharing him with everyone we know who is on the hunt in Chicago. Oh! And be sure to ask Matt about wine... he might know even more about wine than real estate... ;)

Within a couple days of us deciding to list, his team had amazing pictures and video of our place done and had it listed. From that point on, Matt and his team took care of everything. We always had feedback from showings, and weekly updates. They got our place sold within 3 weeks of being listed and overall are great to work with.

We had an outstanding experience with Matt Laricy, Catherine Holbrook, Jamie, Delaney and the Team at MLG.
Matt is very knowledgeable, responsive and a master negotiator. There was consistent communication and we received daily updates. Each team member played an integral part in making the selling and purchasing process seamless from A to Z.
In listing, we found MLG’s market campaign and use of technology to be impressive and more importantly effective, receiving multiple offers within 48-hrs of being listed.
Matt also comes with an extended network of Mortgage Lending Executives, Real Estate Attorneys and Home Inspection Teams - who were a pleasure to work with.
A special thank you to Ben Cohen, Managing Director and Senior Vice President at Guarantee Rate.

Matt Laricy, Jamie, and his team are the best realtor group in Chicago! Our journey first started for a random interest in a listing a year ago where he noticed and asked if we were first time home buyers and took the time to meet with my husband and me to explain the process, the Chicago market, and catered to what we were looking for. Flash forward to us restarting our search a month ago and we closed our condo today! He is honest and straightforward which is so refreshing to lay our trust to. What's valuable is that he knows the status of every building in Chicago and that helped us greatly narrow down our choices. He responds super quick and every recommendation he's given has turned out well. We can't thank him and his team enough!

This is not our first house buying experience but we must say that going thru the process with Matt is simply next level service. You think a realtor is a realtor until you meet him and then the bar skyrockets. His professionalism in his work, quick response times, and knowledge in the area is simply unbelievable! If other realtors had half of Matt's work ethic and knowledge than people would no longer feel like the house buying process is overwhelming but instead enjoyable. Thanks Matt, it was a real pleasure working with you.

Matt has a good small team and all of them work hard. All the contacts he helped us with in the closing process delivered 100% and on time. Matt gives you straight forward answers with no sugar coating.

I just want to say that Tyler was very instrumental in helping me buying my first condo in the city - the whole process was a very smooth, no-stress transition. He was also very helpful in providing all the addition requirements/ restrictions of the buying process due to the on-going pandemic. I also want to note that - despite Tyler radiating professionalism from first sight - he was able to relay all information/ data about the buying process in a straightforward but candid way. It was almost like the two of us are sitting down at a coffee place chatting. This was especially refreshing to me.

We chose Matt Laricy to be our realtor to help sell our condo, and move into a single family home in June 2020. The whole experience, from beginning to end, was fantastic. From the buy side, Matt provides an incredible amount of information to ensure you are the most informed buyer. We never once felt pressure to put an offer in, as some realtors may be keen to do. From the sell perspective, WOW! His team goes above and beyond to once again ensure you are the most informed about what is going on. From the communication and feedback on the showings to weekly emails updating you on how Matt is managing your property and what he's doing for you behind the scenes (calls, marketing, etc.). The major differentiating factor was when we went under contract on both properties. This is where most realtors drop out of the process, and leave you standing high and dry to manage the process through to close. Matt employs a full time staff who project manage the checklist to help you get to close. This was so smooth, and every week Jamie from his team checked in on us to make sure all was progressing, provide updates, and help through any issues. This is an all-star team through and through.

It didn't take much research to find Matt and the glowing reviews proved completely true. Matt is super-responsive, and is always there to join you at showings and give you good honest opinions on the properties and areas you're considering - he wants you to find the best place for you to call home, not the best place for him to sell. Once you've got an accepted offer, the rest of the team springs into action and you honestly don't have to think about a thing - they make the process so easy and so seamless. Jamie is a superstar - she kept us organized and on-track, even with the pandemic throwing some curveballs.

Before the pandemic, I was working with John Paul to purchase an investment property somewhere in downtown Chicago. I currently live and work in the suburbs and don’t know much about the Chicago area. John Paul was professional and very knowledgeable. Because of his experience, he was able to teach me about the rental markets in the city and pointed me to the best areas that would be most beneficial for my investment. Unfortunately, the pandemic caused my fiancé and I to pull back, but we look forward to working with John Paul when the city starts rolling again.

Matt and his team did an excellent job finding us a condo that fit all of our criteria. As first time homebuyers, we appreciated the time Matt took to explain to us the ins and out of the process and the market. It was great not feeling any pressure and being able to take our time with our search to find the right place. Matt would come in with honest and straight input which was really helpful. Matt and his team were also super responsive and accommodating. After finding the place, the contract/closing process went by seamlessly thanks to Matt's team and also the very good attorney/banker etc. Matt referred us to. Would definitely recommend!

Matt and his team at the Matt Laricy Group were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Top marks across the board. As a first time home buyer I was confident that I had the right team on my side to help me through the process, address all my concerns, and get me the best deal possible. I wouldn't recommend anyone else in Chicago.

Matt and Mickey and their entire team are excellent! They were very thorough in answering questions and making sure we were informed on the home-buying experience in IL/Chicago. They genuinely care about making sure you have an excellent experience start to finish and delivered. The communication and attention to detail couldn't have been better. They are knowledgeable, kind, and professional. I would highly recommend them if you are considering buying or selling!

- I had a great experience with Matt Laricy during my first time in buying a home. Since the first day him and their team introduced themselves, I noticed that they knew what they were doing, and they do it great. The process of walking properties goes smoothly, they answer all the questions that you have and provide great feedback on each of the properties that you walk as if they were theirs. They know all about the properties you walk and this is very helpful. During closing, the process went very smooth as well, they were always there when needed and whenever you have questions, they answer right away, even outside of business hours. They are awesome. They actually also improved the closing date substantially per my request, and everything was done on a timely basis. I would definitely recommend The Matt Laricy Group.

Thank you Matt, Jamie, Lisa and other team members helping us to sell our condo in Chicago. Our condo was closed today. We knew Matt from internet. We choose him as our selling agent is not because he is top selling real estate agent in Chicago, because he is very open and honest. During our first conversation, he explained to us very clearly about market trend, entire process and guided us step by step. Matt and his team worked tirelessly showing our condo, following up and providing updates. Whenever we called them or sent message to them, they were always there. Matt and his team are very professional and have all the resources to make process very smooth. Matt and his team are the best in Chicago!!!

I am a repeat client and would not consider using anyone but Matt in Chicago. I believe the multi-pronged marketing package he offers to sellers and the local expertise he brings to the table are truly best in class. Matt and his team are highly disciplined, systematic, and will outwork anyone. I have referred many of my closest friends to Matt and will continue doing so with total confidence.

Matt Laricy and his team are extremely professional and have a remarkable expertise in real estate. Matt was phenomenal to work with. When we started, Matt provided great advice on the real estate market to help us refine our search. When we would make our showing selections, he knew a significant amount of information about the properties and was able provide insight on those locations to weed out the not so great properties. When we did find "the one", Matt provided good insight on market comps and help us negotiate the quote in a quick and seamless manner. Finally, Matt and his team were awesome support through the inspection, appraisal and final negotiations. Overall, Matt made buying a home easy.

We worked with Matt and his team over the course of two months and they were extremely professional throughout the entire process. They took us through houses in neighborhoods all over the city of Chicago and once we found one we liked they helped us to negotiate and get the best price. As we went through the closing process they answered every question we had and continually worked with us to get all of the inspection issues corrected on our new condo! We enjoyed every part of the experience and will definitely be returning to Matt and team in the future!

If Matt and his team can't get the sale done, no one can.
Matt and his team provided updates on my sale before I even thought to ask. The team was extremely responsive and understood that selling a home can be a stressful experience. Not only did they find me a buyer within a month of listing my place, but they also managed to get the deal done a day early (in spite of the buyer nearly dropping the ball). Matt's a strong negotiator and definitely the best in the biz because he focuses on customer service and leverages technology like no one else out there.
This year was not a sellers year, but with Matt on my side, it was for me.
Thanks team!

Matt and his team are truly top notch! I reached out to him a few years ago and had been on and off looking until about six weeks ago when I found a place I was ready to put in an offer on. Matt and Jamie were both extremely responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process, making my first time home purchase basically stress-free. Matt also recommended a lender that was able to provide a great financing option, and his recommended attorney (Lisa Saul) was fantastic.
It is no surprise that Matt and his team have the number of 5-star reviews that they do. if you are looking to buy or sell in Chicago, you should definitely reach out to Matt!

We were trying to sell our condo for over 7 months with another realtor, and we felt hopeless until we found Matt. He gave us the confidence that he was going to sell our condo, but was realistic with setting our expectations. He is a no BS kinda guy and we were confident he could get this done. We explained to him that we needed to be out of our one bedroom condo fast, with the added pressure of a baby on the way. The day after hiring, he had a team of people coming in to get our condo photographed, video'd and listed ASAP. We went live on a Wednesday and Matt brought us an offer that Sunday. After some negotiating, that he expertly guided us thru, we signed a contract. Again, Matt set expectations. And even though it wasn't the easiest process, Matt and his team got us through it. His assistants were in constant communication from start to finish. We were never left in the dark. And every time I reached out to Matt, he responded. Even if he missed my call, he called me back promptly. My wife and I are beyond grateful for Matt and his team. Thank you! The Matt Laricy Group is the only agency you need to consider for real estate in Chicago!

We met Jaime during a home visit and were drawn to him immediately. He was thoughtful and curious about what type of place we were looking for, and we decided to work with him as we continued our apartment search. Throughout our process of searching for, bidding on, and buying our new home, Jaime was helpful, respectful, and incredibly resourceful. When we needed the prior owner's billiards table removed, Jaime had a guy. When we needed repairs done, Jaime had a contact he trusted. He guided us through a tricky process of bidding on a place that already had multiple offers, and he had a great sense of how to navigate a pressurized situation with a tight timeline. Bottom line: Jaime Luevano is a sincerely nice person with a talent for navigating the many ins and outs of buying and selling property. He always had our back and went above and beyond. We look forward to working with him again.

We found Matt Laricy and his team through social media and reviews from his other clients. We met with Matt and discussed our specific desires in our purchase. He provided information on different areas and made some suggestions. We have experience in purchasing homes, but never before a condo in a large city. The specifics of a condo purchase are a little different from a stand alone house in suburban neighborhoods. Matt and his team were able to understand our needs, help narrow down options to fit those needs, and supported the process to an efficient closing. They know the Chicago real estate landscape. We have been pleased with our experience and we definitely recommend Matt and his team.

This is our second time working with Matt Laricy (first as a buyer, and now as a seller), and once again the experience has been top notch. Matt and his group are just an incredibly well-oiled machine, and the experience as a client couldn't be better. When we were buying our condo several years ago, we had to buy from out of town, within a very limited geographic area and budget, and close at a very specific time frame, and Matt made it all happen smoothly and with as little stress as possible.
This time, we needed to sell our condo in a softening market while again closing within a very specific time frame, and Matt once again came through. His knowledge of the market is excellent - he can tell you more off the top of his head than many realtors can looking through their computers. He knows exactly what needs to be done to make a listing show well - and what can be skipped to save time and money. The pictures, video, and 3D tours were incredible and presented the best possible picture of our condo. When it came time to show the place, his team made the showings as unobtrusive as possible, and ultimately we found a buyer that worked perfectly with our tight closing window. The entire process ran as smooth as it possibly could, which is exactly what happened for us when buying a place with Matt 3 years earlier. We can't recommend him and his team highly enough.

We are first time home buyers who were recommended to Matt and couldn't give a higher recommendation for others looking for a realtor. We were motivated to purchase, and Matt and his team got us under contract for our home within a week of our first meeting. From the very start, Matt and his team were extremely responsive and helpful and provided great detail and insight about the process. There was always someone available to answer our questions and to help us out with whatever popped up, and it truly was an incredible level of responsiveness from Matt and his team. They were available to answer anything from big picture questions to small random questions we had pop up, of which there were many since this was our first home purchase. After we have closed, we still say that we are amazed how easy the entire process was from start to finish, and that is definitely due to Matt and his team. Again, couldn't give a higher recommendation.

Matt and his team are a pleasure to work with and made the entire process very easy. Matt is extremely experienced, well connected and informed but best of all he is extremely honest and blunt, which is refreshing when so many real estate agents always seem to be in sales mode (Matt will just straight up tell you if a unit is overpriced, or a building has a bad reputation, etc). He also has great recommendations for attorneys and lenders, introducing me to a better lender than the one I had chosen independently relatively late in my process who saved me a substantial amount of points for the same rate and closed in just over a week (and an attorney who was great from the beginning).
I'd highly recommend Matt to anyone currently in the real estate market in any way (P.S. -- check out his podcast (The Matt Laricy Project) as well, it's very informative and interesting, especially for first-time buyers such as myself).

Matt and his team were amazing with helping my sister find an apartment in Chicago. They exceeded all of our expectations by being incredibly hard-working, efficient, and honest with their opinions to help us find the perfect place.
Matt and Catherine had a significant amount of knowledge regarding the apartment buildings in Chicago, which was a great help. We were definitely on a time crunch when looking for a place, and Catherine always made time to show us any apartments we were interested in. Within less than two months, we were able to win a multiple bid on an apartment that we loved in the area we had hoped for. We really appreciated their help and efficiency with making this process so easy for us. Also, Matt knew that I was planning to move to NYC, and connected me with a great broker to help me with finding a place in NY! Matt never hesitated to help in any way that he could, which we really appreciated.

Choosing Matt Laricy as our real estate agent was the 100% right decision for my husband and I as first-time home buyers. He was very personable and friendly, and could easily explain the home buying process to us in a way that made sense to us. His entire team was very well organized and helped to keep us on track during the showings and the closing process. Matt would always respond when we had questions, and made himself available to us when we needed him for guidance. The stress of buying a home for the first time is overwhelming, but using a real estate agent you trust makes the process so much smoother. I would 100% recommend using Matt Laricy to anyone looking to buy a home.

Matt was recommended to us by some friends and having him represent us in the search for our first house was one of the best decisions in retrospect. He is very responsive, patient, extremely hard-working and honest with his opinion which went a long way especially when we had no experience buying a property before. He runs a very cohesive, closely knit team and we had a great experience interacting with each one of them during different times of our search. The process between putting an offer to closing was seamlessly handled by Matt's team and his recommendations for lawyers and lenders were top-notch. We have no doubt that Matt will continue to be one of the most successful brokers in the Chicago area and recommend him to everyone.

As first-time home buyers, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our search for a place to call ‘home’ here in Chicago. (Mind you, this search began on a whim.)
From our initial meet with Matt Laricy, up until the date of signing, Matt displayed an ease of confidence and professionalism that made us feel as though we were in great hands (Not to mention looking sharp in that blue power suit!). Whether it was Matt himself, or a member of his amazing team, we were always kept in the loop on what was going on and the next steps. They always made themselves available to us at any time, with immediate responses to any and every question we had that you’d assume would come from anxious first-time buyers. We never once felt pressured, intimidated, nor unwelcome. Matt and his team have a way of making you feel as though you’re their only client and of top priority to them.
It didn’t take us very long to narrow our options down, as we quickly found ‘the one’ that we’d soon hope to call our home; although, it wasn’t for lack of options. Matt provided us with extensive lists of housing available to us according to our wants and needs (updating us with any new listings as they became available).
Once we were ready to make an offer, their team was on top of it every step of the way! Making the process seem like it took no time at all. We even felt confident enough in Matt and his ability to establish strong connections and relationships with people, that we utilized all of his references (from recommendations on loans, to lawyers, to inspectors, to home-owners insurance... you name it).
As we previously mentioned, we couldn’t be happier with each decision that we made together with Matt and his team at the Matt Laricy Group. Without question, we will come back to Matt and his team in the future for any of our home buying or selling needs! We highly recommend the Matt Laricy Group to anyone in the Chicago area who is looking to have a seamless and enjoyable process of searching for a new home.
We’d like to give our gratitude and thanks again to Matt Laricy, Joe, other Matt, Jamie, Emma, Lisa and Dipti for being a part of this process with us. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Matt Laricy has been working with my husband and I for 5 years on purchasing both of our homes in Chicago. After our first conversation in 2013, we knew we had hit the realtor jackpot from his professionalism and tenacity. Our first home-buying experience in Chicago was made so much easier with his help.
When we were ready to buy our next home a few months ago, we immediately texted him and he got to work right away, getting us an amazing purchase price for our house and successfully selling our condo for over asking price in two days! It was nothing short of incredible. We're still in disbelief!
Matt has very high standards for himself and his team, and it definitely shows. We appreciate how quickly they got back to us on our questions (and we had a lot), how detail-oriented they were on all matters, and how we always felt like we were their highest priority. Matt is open, honest, and straightforward, and we trust any real estate advice he provides implicitly.
We feel so lucky to have worked with the best of the best. We recommend Matt and his team to everyone we know!

My fiance travels for work Monday-Thursday and at the time I was studying for a board exam meaning our schedules were hectic and difficult to coordinate. Matt always put our time above his own; whether that meant asking a colleague to help us with a showing or last minute rearrangements of his own schedule we were always able to see the condos we wanted to, on a schedule that worked for us. We are so thankful and indebted to Matt and his team as we found and closed on our perfect condo in just 2 short months!

Despite my hectic schedule he always found time to take me to showings. He stayed by my side through the entire process. Matt is truly a trusted adviser. I think I am the happiest first time homeowner in Chicago right now!

I contacted a few realtors in the Chicago area for the purchase of an investment property. Matt responded quickly and immediately helped educate me about the Chicago real estate investment market. After a handful of trips to Chicago from the Washington DC area, I found and placed an offer on a one bedroom condominium that met our investment criteria. Matt and his team walked us through the deal, suggested a local attorney, which is apparently needed in the City of Chicago real property transactions, and suggested a mortgage company. I made a small, but annoying, mistake working with a national mortgage broker, which cost me some frustration. I wished I followed Matt's initial suggestion.
I am using Matt's team to rent this property and I will absolutely use Matt and his team again for future Chicago real estate transactions.

Excellent group to work with. Couldn't ask for a better team of good quality people. We asked questions at all hours of the day and all 7 days of the week and got answers quickly no matter the time or day. The pictures to market our unit were fantastic and really captured how great a unit we were selling. While looking for a new place, they gave us honest feedback on units that we visited which was greatly appreciated.
I would use the Matt Laricy group 100x out of 100.

We utilized Matt and his team for both the sale of our condo and the purchase of a new condo. They exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. Matt and his team were responsive, organized and thorough. Their extensive use of technology was critical in creating a collaborative forum for exchanging information, schedules and dialogue. From the initial meeting, his knowledge of the market conditions, buying patterns and marketing our condo for sale were outstanding. His referrals for staging, painting and anticipatory repairs for any inspection were all excellent. The team’s communication was frequent and informative, and they were reachable at any time. They were always willing to listen to our concerns or suggestions, but wouldn’t hesitate to exert their expertise where appropriate.
On the buy side of our relationship, Matt knew at least 95+% of the other realtors, areas, and buildings of the city that we were interested in. While providing a significant amount of information on what was available, he was still able to highlight items that met our specific needs and wants. He was able to understand what we were looking for even if we couldn’t articulate things precisely.
We felt, at all times, that we were working with a professional and business-minded organization. Yet, we also felt that they were looking out for our best interests, and had our ultimate satisfaction as a priority.
We’d highly recommend Matt and The Matt Laricy Group!!!

The dust has yet to settle from our move into the South Loop condo that Matt helped us purchase, but I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of positive reviews for Matt and his team. We chose to start the home-buying process with him on the basis of positive Yelp reviews and we are very happy with that decision. My spouse and I were in the midst of a very busy (tax) season at work and Matt and his team couldn't have been more helpful and organized once we found a place we liked enough to make an offer on. We appreciated the prompt calendar invites from Jamie every time a showing was scheduled as well as the whole team's flexibility in changing plans as things popped up. Matt himself was candid and straight-forward during this entire process, and we trusted his opinions. If we ever have to move again (please God, never again), we wouldn't hesitate to work with him.

My husband and I contacted Matt after he was recommended by a friend. During our initial meeting, Matt quickly demonstrated his knowledge, expertise, and passion for real estate. Although we had a few initial meetings with other realtors, Matt was the only realtor that we walked away from feeling confident in his abilities to guide us through the home buying process. Matt was extremely responsive, honest, and ensured our first-time home buying process was seamless! He takes incredible pride in his work and providing his customers with the best service possible. Even though we just purchased our first home, my husband and I have already agreed that we'll be using Matt's firm again when the time comes to invest in future properties or sell our current home! Going with The Matt Laricy Group was the best choice we could've made throughout the home-buying process!

Matt sold my condo in Chicago recently after some fantastic negotiating. I had a deal fall through due to financing, and Matt actually had a back up offer that he talked up to my price range the very same day the other deal fell through. Amazing! My condo had the benefit of good location, but it also had a lot of difficulties that Matt and his team had to compensate for - a wall outside the main window, dated appliances, carpet in bedrooms, etc. Matt consistently turned out prospectives throughout the listing - we averaged several per week even in the dead of winter. I give Matt my highest recommendation - he's far and away the best realtor I've ever dealt with, in Chicago and elsewhere.

Matt went above and beyond to make the process for buying (in my case) as smooth as possible. I met with him with zero knowledge on how this process works, and in less than 2 months he helped me find a home I love. He masterfully negotiated the offer and I closed on the condo very quickly and without any challenges whatsoever. Matt also works with reliable and excellent partners - inspectors, attorneys - and guides the buyer every step of the way from day 1 to closing. He is also extremely responsive and responds to questions/texts within minutes if not seconds. I strongly recommend working with Matt, because he is awesome!

I only have good things to say about my experience with Matt and his team. They’re a small, scrappy group in a crowded space up against massive corporations, and yet seem to be successful against the odds. I don’t win against corporations unless you have some sort of a competitive advantage, and Matt Laricy group’s competitive advantage is plain and simple - they put relationships above paychecks.
I worked with Matt, and as a first time homebuyer, I felt Matt was a great teacher. Matt is a straight shooter; he’s always going to give you his honest opinion. You might not always like it, but his opinion is probably one of the most valuable in the industry. Throughout the process, I felt Matt always had my best interest in mind. In a field where every dollar you don’t save goes directly into the pocket of those on the other side of the table, you want someone who you feel will put your best interest first and advocate an your behalf.
Once you work with Matt and his team, you’ll understand why they are as successful as they are. I recommend Matt and his team wholeheartedly

When it comes to a realtor who truly 'has your back' Matt Laricy is your guy. We've worked with Matt on a few transactions, and with each one, his standard of excellence is unmatched. From the initial meeting you know that you are dealing with a professional, who truly has a pulse on the Chicago marketplace. His boutique operation focuses on the needs of the client first and foremost, and delivers sales results to back it up. And intertwined during the entire sales process, is Matt's personal touch and insight to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable every step of the way. In short, if you want to sell your home, and you need someone beyond reproach, Matt Laricy is who you should call.

Matt Laricy was great to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable about not only the geographic areas we were interested in, but also with details regarding specific buildings and even builders/developers. If we were interested in a home, he was honest about his opinion of the place, and a few times prevented us from considering homes that would have been a bad investment.
When we had questions, we would email him and he would respond very quickly, even if it was early in the morning or late in the evening.
The buyers of the home were a little difficult to work with, but Matt helped us out and led the way as we negotiated the purchase price and after the inspection.
Once the purchase was agreed to, their team was extremely efficient and knowledgeable about the closing process. They kept us updated during each step of the process and provided detailed and constant reminders when certain action items were due.
I highly recommend Matt and his team for anyone looking to purchase a home in Chicago. You will not be disappointed.

Working with Matt made our first home purchase a breeze. We gave him a budget range at our initial meeting, and he said he didn’t care how much we spent and his priority would be ensuring we made a smart investment within our means. He treated us like we were a million dollar client, even though we spent much less. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and Matt was consistently quick to respond with knowledgeable answers. Trust him instinctively because he knows the market and the players, and he has good intentions with wanting to do the best for his clients. We will definitely work with Matt in the future and highly recommend him and his team. Also, Jamie deserves kudos too because she was just as professional and pleasant to work with as well. I can’t reiterate enough how easy they made this purchase for us!

We are so happy that we ran into Matt. My girlfriend and I were wandering through Chicago learning about neighborhoods in order to educate ourselves for our move from Washington DC, when we ran into Matt. We happened to be standing in the lobby as Matt came down from a showing, and he was gracious enough to allow us to barge into his day and show us the unit after his scheduled showing. After going through that first unit and seeing how knowledgeable, pragmatic and honest Matt was, we knew we had found our agent.
As we continued our search, Matt was always incredibly responsive and accommodating of our scheduling constraints as "out of town" buyers. He continued to impress us with his knowledge of every building, empty lot and building HOA in downtown.
Even while Matt was on vacation in Europe, he continued to follow up on our final closing details and ensured his kind and helpful team were present to help us with every concern.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience or agent than Matt Laricy. He will surely be our agent in all future downtown Chicago real estate decisions.

I just closed on my second apartment in Chicago with Matt’s assistance, and I had to write a review of Matt and - just as importantly - his team (Jamie Price & Mickey Hobson). These days, great service is something that cannot be taken for granted and when you work with Matt, you can be rest assured that SERVICE is what you're going to get.
It starts with Matt's knowledge of the Chicago area and his knowledge of everything about the process of buying/ selling real estate in Chicago. He knows how to negotiate the right price, who can help provide services to close quickly and efficiently, and anything else that might make your life easier. Then the closing process is meticulously managed by Jamie which allows you to go on with your normal life throughout what would otherwise be a pretty stressful process.
Matt, thank you and your team for everything. I'm definitely going to use your services again next time.

I randomly found Americorp LTD online while searching for a Chicago condo from 500 miles away. I had been talking to a few realtors but I remember Matt was not "pushy". He offered to meet me in person to get a better idea of what I was looking for. Shortly after our first conversation, I told him I would fly down from Minneapolis to see a few properties. I would be remiss not to mention how impressed I was listening him talk to the seller's realtor. Instantly, I trusted that he had my best interest in mind. I decided to have Matt represent me that day. Matt Laricy continued to prove he was an incredibly talented Real Estate Broker. His exceptional knowledge of the downtown Chicago market, connections in the industry, creativity and tenacity made my state to state move a virtually stress-free experience. Additionally, Matt has seamlessly assembled the perfect team within The Matt Laricy Group. Every single person that contacted me thru this buying process knew their role and got things done!

Matt and his team recently helped me sell my townhome in University Village. Selling a home is a very stressful process, but Matt and his team managed the entire process seamlessly. I have been party to five real estate transactions in my life and in terms of real estate agents, this was by far the best experience I have had.
I communicated mostly with Jamie Price in regards to day-today administrative matters and she consistently provided me with timely notices and responses. Jamie is abnormally nice and pleasant to deal with (that’s a good thing). Matt was always available for any general concerns or questions, and he always provided me with honest and insightful responses. Matt also regularly provided me with updates regarding interest in my property and the state of the market. I moved across the country to California before we closed on this property, but Matt’s team kept me well informed and involved throughout the process.
Beyond the exceptional service I received, I noticed a few things that set Matt’s team apart from most other real estate agencies. They really “sell” your place. They will actively market your property on various social media sites and offer staging services. Also, an agent from Matt’s team will always be personally present at every showing (no use of lock boxes with these guys) and they will be dressed professionally, not in some standard suit and tie uniform, but quite fashionably. This might be a little thing, but I felt as though the perception of my property was enhanced, as the people representing it always looked professional and tasteful. This may not be important to everyone, but it is an example of their effort and attention to small details. To top it off, Matt was a shrewd negotiator when the offers finally started coming in. I credit him for selling our place without much in way of repair credits or other buyer credits.

I found Matt via his impeccable realtor reviews when we decided to make a huge life change from our single family home in NY to a condo in Chicago. Let me just say I couldn't have asked for a better or more knowledgeable realtor! This was a long term process for us, and Matt always responded to our questions and concerns with speed and thoughtfulness. He did his best to minimize our stress, and made himself available whenever we came into town to view properties. He was highly communicative throughout the negotiation process (which he handled masterfully), and stayed in close contact as he guided us through closing and beyond! His staff is highly organized and made it easy for transactions and signings to take place electronically (a necessity when you're out of state).
Needless to say, I most definitely recommend Matt if you're looking for a realtor in Chicago :-)

Matt was my broker for a recent condo sale and I couldn't have been happier. The Matterport virtual tour he uses is amazing and he kept me up to date on the online marketing he was doing for my property. I have dealt with some of the other well-known Chicago brokers for higher end properties in the past, but I was surprised at their lack of personal involvement in the process as well as their out of date approach to online marketing. What sets Matt apart is the obvious personal effort he puts into growing and improving his business. He's still hungry and not just on cruise control. That's the kind of broker I want. From start to finish, I felt that Matt was always honest and genuine with me. That is rare enough. He also clearly cared about getting my condo sold and making the entire process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend him.

Mickey is FANTASTIC! I could not have had a better experience working with him.

His market analysis reports were thorough and well thought out, he was incredibly timely with all communication (no matter what time I emailed him, he always responded practically right away!), and his insights were valuable in helping me find my first home. He thought to ask questions I never would have. Overall, Mickey made a process that was seemingly very scary very easy, and I can't thank him enough for that. I will definitely use Mickey on all future real estate transactions and look forward to working with him again!

Matt Laricy and his group should be the first and last people you consider when selling or buying your home. We had Matt sell our condo for us. We were pretty nervous about the market because the exact same unit as ours, 2 floors above, had been sitting on the market for 5 months, when it came time to list ours. Matt recommended that we list for a nearly the same price as the unit above us. I was skeptical that it would sell quickly at this price, and I definitely did not want it to sit on the market for months. However, he reassured me by explaining all his marketing strategies he employed. I interviewed several agents, and he was the most organized, prepared, professional, hard working out of them all. He and his team definitely are workaholics! They have a strict policy of never missing or cancelling a showing. He makes himself available any time, day or night. Long story short, we listed on a Monday and accepted an offer above our ask price on Thursday of that same week. Amazing! He was there for me throughout the rest of the process, making it so smooth and headache free. He is easily reachable and will quickly return any messages if he does not pick up right away. His rates are very competitive and were cheaper than all the other agents I interviewed. In my opinion, going with any other agent would be a huge mistake. He is at the top of this industry in Chicago. I give my highest recommendation and have been 100% satisfied with him and his team. You will not regret choosing Matt!

When my wife and I were ready to purchase our first home here in Chicago, we didn’t have much of a network to ask about finding a relator since we were new to the city. Instead we did our homework online, and found Matt via his website, and the incredible amount of positive reviews on Redfin, Zillow, Yelp, Google, Facebook etc. Since our relator would quite literally be representing us, it was essential that we work with an experienced professional, and that is exactly what we found in Matt and all the staff at the Matt Laricy Group. We honestly could not have been happier with our decision, and we will look to Matt when buying or selling in the future.
Matt is an uber professional, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. Perhaps most striking about him is how responsive he is to calls and emails. In our neighborhood, houses sell within 24 hours of being listed, so having someone so accessible and “on it” was very reassuring. Secondly, Matt is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the Chicago market, and guided us through not just finding the right home, but also navigating the tedious portions of the buying process like the inspection, financing, titling, etc. We can’t say enough about how polished and professional Matt is. He always had a suit and tie on, was punctual, and was always prepared for our phone conversations and in-person meetings. I took these qualities for granted until our final walk through when the seller’s relator showed up late wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts, without keys to the unit, and a bunch of excuses for making us wait while he ran back to office for the correct keys. We were nearly late to closing because of that, and I remember talking to my wife on the drive over about how happy we were to have someone like Matt on our side.
The bottom line is, if you are looking for a hard-working, professional, and experienced relator, you simply can’t do better than Matt. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

I highly recommend Matt and his team to help you find a home! The following are reasons: 1) Matt's in your corner from the first moment you sit down together 2) He's patient with you, and not pushy. This is a huge plus. Took my wife and I, 10 months of passively searching for the right home 3) He is brutally honest, which is very refreshing. He has a knack of bringing to light any negatives that you have in the back of your mind about a property, but are unable to voice out for whatever reason. 4) Matt and his team are very timely with their responses, efficient, and extremely professional.
Matt helped us find our dream place, and vouched for us throughout a 4 party bidding process - call him to find out how we won despite not being the highest bidder! Would work with Matt and his team in a heartbeat, should I ever be in the market again.

We had an excellent experience working with Matt Laricy in buying our home and would highly recommend him. We originally chose Matt because of all the great reviews we found online and all of his awards and accolades -- and he absolutely lives up to the hype!
Not only did he help us buy our first home, but he became a trusted advisor to us during the buying process and afterwards. Matt is an expert in local Chicago real estate, very responsive, and allows you to move at your own pace through the sales process. He and his team provided a great customer experience from beginning to end, utilizing easy to use technology to help in the home showing process (e.g. Google calendar for appointments, Google docs for home showing agendas, and Dropbox for listing details, etc.) As a trusted advisor, Matt shared his knowledge and opinions of what to look out for in a quality home (and what to avoid). We felt comfortable reaching out to him with questions and knew we could trust him for straight-forward and unbiased answers. We were also pleased with the recommendations he provided for our mortgage company, attorney, and inspector...and he helped coach us through and communicate across all of those parties during the buying process.
Even after the sale, he continued to be engaged and support us in some issues we had in our home. With his network and positive reputation in the industry, he was able to elicit responses quickly from other realtors and the seller. We really appreciated how quick and responsive Matt was -- and how involved he stayed. Overall, we were extremely happy working with Matt. Thanks Matt for making our home buying experience a positive one!

Matt and his team were great to work with throughout the process. My wife and I were first time homebuyers and from the get go, Matt was willing to walk us through the process so there were no mysteries. He was happy to meet with us early on to talk about what we liked and didn't - even when we were several months out from actually buying. He was honest and knowledgable in his assessments of properties and neighborhoods. And it was an easy decision to work with him.
When we were ready to buy, Matt and his team were super helpful. Matt worked with us to tour places, provide feedback, and ultimately crafted our winning offer. It was a competitive bidding process, but Matt was excellent at helping us determine what amount would be strong but not excessive. Ultimately we won out.
And through the closing process, Matt's recommendations were great. Jamie in their office was always incredibly helpful. They're super organized and stay on top of things so there's never any questions.

Matt was able to get us our dream home within a few showings and was there with us until closing. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell.

My partner and I recently purchased a condo through Matt. We had been passively looking at places for over a year before we started working with Matt. Multiple agents had showed us places we had seen online, but after each showing we left feeling like we knew more about the unit and surrounding area than the agent. This was frustrating as we were looking for someone who really knew Chicago, each building, and any information we couldn’t find ourselves online. From the very beginning, Matt was that agent. When Matt showed us a place, he knew the history and details about the building only an insider could know. He knew where to look for shortcuts in construction and other building details we would have easily overlooked. He understood the area better than anyone, and talked to us about the history of the area, the current market, and where he thought the market was headed. He always responded to our emails within a few hours and we honestly felt like we were the only clients Matt was working with. I have no idea how he does it. We found a place we loved shortly after we started working with Matt. He helped us negotiate a price much lower than the asking price and walked us through every step of the closing process. Matt and his staff kept on top of every aspect of the closing and made sure our first time home buying process was seamless and even enjoyable. I would highly recommend Matt if you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledge about Chicago’s different neighborhoods, detailed information about each condo building/development, market trends, and construction quality. We couldn’t be happier about our home buying experience with Matt.

Matt Laricy and his team represented me in my search for and purchase of a Gold Coast condo in the spring of 2017. Matt was extremely candid and knowledgeable throughout the process; his explanation of the local market was insightful and prepared me to navigate a hot housing market in the downtown area. Matt and the rest of the team answered every email in a timely fashion, and when it came time to make an offer, the process moved quickly and decisively. We were able to get the unit I wanted at a price that I believe to be a solid deal.
Matt's team also facilitated a very painless contract and closing process. He was able to recommend a mortgage lender and counsel, both of whom turned out to be very professional and offered competitive rates. I unreservedly recommend Matt Laricy and his team.

Matt and this team are awesome. As first time home buyers, my husband and I had no idea what we wanted (a high-rise? a duplex? how many bedrooms?) and where we wanted (South Loop? Lakeview?). Matt was very knowledgeable, gave us excellent advice, and told us clearly when he didn't like a place, even if that meant he had to drive us around to look at more places. He was also very patient as we probably visited 50+ places over the course of a year in our quest to figure out what we wanted.
After we placed an offer, his team was amazing at walking through the process, and now we're finally homeowners!
Quick tip: we did some shopping, but we ended up using Matt's suggested lawyer, lender, and home inspector - they all did an excellent job, and gave us very competitive rates. So that saves a lot of work for you as well!

Matt and his team were fantastic. Matt met with me personally in October to get to know our needs and wants in a new condo. Emails for new places came almost daily, and when we found places we liked, his team communicated with us promptly to answer questions and set up showings. Our bid process was easy as well. We were intimidated at the prospect of buying real estate in a new city, but Matt and his team were friendly, professional, and made it easy.

You think buying a house would have to be a complicated process but Matt made the entire process absolutely SEAMLESS for us!!

Matt and his team are truly all 5 star agents!! I first used Matt while buying my condo about 3 years ago and most recently Matt helped us sell the condo. We couldn't have been more pleased with the overall experience. His professionalism, promptness, market instinct, and work ethic are unparalleled. He helped us price our condo perfectly which led to multiple bids and a higher overall final price. His investment in Matterport also paid dividends in the end. Matt and his team have perfected the buy / sell process and got all of the relevant information up front so that in the end the listing and closing process was very smooth. The highlight of working with Matt is the fantastic communication. I don't know if Matt ever sleeps because I always received text or email replies to my questions within minutes no matter the time of day!! To be honest, Matt and his team really spoiled us with their experience because it was a night and day difference when we worked with other agents while looking for a house in the suburbs. If Matt did suburban real estate, I would have used him without a doubt!! Can't really say much more than you won't regret going with him.

Being my first home purchase, I was overwhelmed with the process. Matt, however, made the process simple, streamlined, and enjoyable. His team works together seamlessly to provide the best service for his clients. With his years of experience, he was able to point out aspects of properties that I would never have thought of. He knew the difference between every material within a property—whether it was “cheap” or “high end.” He knew the planned developments around the properties (e.g., whether a building would block the view, whether developments around the area will likely raise the value, etc.), the history of the areas, and the potential of the properties. What stood out the most is that Matt cared more about finding the best place for me than the most expensive place, even though he was paid based off the purchase price (as is every agent). For example, he actually ended up convincing me that purchasing at the lower end of my price range, instead of the top, was a smarter idea since I would likely move within the next 5-7 years. While he would point out the positives of each place, he would also point out all the negatives. Additionally, as new to the city, he was able to provide me with excellent movers, painters, contractors, and everything you could think of—making it a truly one-stop-shop. Even after closing, he has maintained contact to make sure everything is alright and to answer any questions I may have. In conclusion, I do not think there is a better agent in the city of Chicago. I know he will always be my one and only recommendation to all of my friends, and I will use him in my future sales and purchases.

Matt worked very hard to accommodate our needs. Due to many extenuating issues, Matt had to overcome quite a few challenges in order to effectively market our place to potential clients. We had a condo in need of updating with impending lawsuits against the association; he helped potential buyers see the promise in the place and to see past some of the obstacles. He even helped secure financing when the service was needed. Matt and his associates always maintained a positive attitude throughout the process.

I cannot recommend Matt Laricy enough. He is an absolute professional with expertise in every facet of the real estate market. I used Matt to both buy and sell my condo; both experiences were extremely positive.
Matt operates as a "small" shop, but functions the same way as you'd expect from a very large real estate operation. He invests in technology to provide the best market intelligence, advertising and sale of your property. You can catch Matt via email, text, or phone easily; his responsiveness is incredible. Additionally, he has assembled a team that provides that same top-notch service to make the entire buying and/or selling process incredibly smooth.
When evaluating each aspect that you'd want from a realtor, Matt hits the mark....his market knowledge, negotiating acumen, responsiveness, and "quarterbacking" of the entire process is truly impeccable.
To summarize, use Matt. You will thank yourself for doing so.

This review is long overdue. As my husband and I reflect on all the wonderful things we are thankful for this 2016, it goes without saying that we could not be happier that we bought our first home! However, this would not have been possible (at least not without the headaches) without Matt and his team. When Matt is working with you, you feel as though you are the only client. He provided personalized attention and was very responsive to our needs (even when that meant an email during the middle of the night for a random thought I may have). Matt is extremely pleasant and cheerful, but even more important than those characteristics (and what stands him out above the rest), is how knowledgeable he is! During each of our showings, it was evident that he was better prepared than the selling agents – quoting from the market, recent data, value appreciation/depreciation, community, neighborhood….everything! This is definitely an agent you want on your side. Thank you, Matt!

Matt Laricy is all that he promises to be. From his knowledge of the downtown Chicago housing market to his responsiveness and personal care of his clients, his service is next to none. We found Matt through reviews just like this and we were not disappointed. He exceeded our every expectation and was patient with us as we pursued our dream of finding a second home (the perfect condo) in the River North area of downtown Chicago. With Matt, dreams really come true. He showed us properties within our price range and specifications (although many!) efficiently and with lots of background knowledge of the buildings themselves, their management companies and activity around them such as new construction. He spent countless time with us on summer weekends at our convenience viewing 7 to 8 units at a time. Given our busy work schedules, his dedication to flexibility was amazing. He takes a personal interest in his clients and ensures the experience is enjoyable, efficient and smooth. Matt is a well connected and recognized real estate agent and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a place in downtown Chicago. You will enjoy the experience!

Matt and his team were brought to me as a recommendation from VERY experienced home buyers (ex-military that have moved more times than they care to think about), so I trusted the recommendation, and I was absolutely not disappointed.
They are extremely knowledgeable and available. Matt knows the game and how to play. He knew when and how to push the right buttons and get me what I needed. One of the best things I can say is that Matt made me feel like I was his only client, although I know they are busy. He was always available and always answered or called back immediately. My purchase happened months ago and he still takes my calls to give me advice. Couldn't ask for more.
If I buy or sell again, I'm calling the Laricy Group.

Matt and his team made buying a home like buying groceries. The only stress we went through was choosing which condo to buy. Matt took time to understand exactly what we wanted and immediately set out to work. After the first couple of viewings, we realized Matt was as choosy as us if not more. This gave us the confidence that he will find us the perfect home. Also, he uses technology like it should be. He uses GoogleDocs to organize listings in the order you will view them and DocuSign to take care of any paper work. This greatly reduces time and confusion.
My girlfriend and I initially had 7 different areas to search in. He initially showed us condos is all these areas always warning that we should focus on just a couple. But after losing the opportunity on a couple of properties we liked, we realized he was right and narrowed down our search.
His knowledge of the different buildings in the city is stunning and helped us eliminate a lot of them without having to look and waste time. He definitely made sure we were making the right decision. He had our back when we had to walk away from a condo due to certain issues I was not willing to deal with as a first time home buyer.
While vacationing in France, he found time to call me a few times and discuss a couple of properties and coordinated with his team (Joe and Catherine) to help us win the bid on the condo we ultimately bought.
Commitment, honesty, single-mindedness hard work are all his qualities and there is lots to learn from him. I would absolutely work with Matt and his team again.

Matt and his team are great. From our first meeting with Matt, we benefited from his expansive knowledge, insight, experience, and willingness to be frank. He told us what we needed to hear, even if it wasn't what we wanted to hear, and that was so valuable to us during the home-buying process.
As with any complex process involving multiple parties, there were the usual delays, but none of them were occasioned by Matt and his team. In fact they helped to speed the process along. They were always on top of any bumps and kept us constantly updated on progress and deadlines with lightning-fast replies. It's obvious the team is willing to help each other out beyond their specific work, and you get the sense they all love what they do. Beyond that, they're so organized it's almost hard to believe they have other clients.
In short: we had a fantastic experience with Matt and his team, and will be using them to sell our place. Highly recommended!

His unique knowledge about the area and condo buildings definitely helped me ensure I was making the right decision. Matt handled a very difficult seller with exceptional professionalism. Matt even stayed with me when I walked away from my dream condo at one point because of an issue I was not willing to accept without negotiation (which the seller was not originally willing to discuss).

The Matt Laricy Group is a team filled with detail-oriented professionals. Matt, Joe, and Jamie were amazing to work with.
Matt and his staff answered all of our questions, worked well with the lawyers and seller's realtor to make this process go really smoothly. We were even able to close a week early!
Jamie is incredibly organized and an excellent communicator. We always knew where we needed to be and what we were seeing. If the schedule shifted, we knew. If we weren’t able to see a unit, we knew. There were never any surprises. When an emergency arose and we were unable to attend our appointments, she shifted them all to the following day on short notice. She even made it seem like it was no big deal and easy to do.
Matt went above and beyond in every aspect of this process. He walked us through lots of condos so that we could get a sense for different options to help us set priorities for what was really important for us. He would let us form our own opinions, but was willing to share his perspective too. He reads a ton about new developments and keeps up to date on everything going on in the city. He is very knowledgeable about the city and changes that might be happening. He kept an ear open for units that might be coming on the market and reached out to his colleagues to see if anything meeting our needs was going to become available. I really can't say enough about how great it was to work with Matt. He made us feel like we were his top priority every time we talked or met. Finally, he's just a really nice guy who was genuinely interested in finding us a home.
John and I can’t recommend Matt and the Matt Laricy group enough!

My fiancé and I agree that the service we received from Matt Laricy and his group was exceptional. He represented us on a purchase and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy. The market in Chicago is super hot right now, and I previously underestimated the importance of a diligent buyer’s agent when trying to buy in a seller’s market. He and his team were well aware of the competition that buyers are up against, and aggressively jumped on any property we were interested in. When we finally found the right one, his aggressive strategy proved effective and we were the winning bidders. I truly believe we would have lost out on this property if we had used a realtor with a more passive approach. A+.

On the days we looked at units, he pointed out features we might have otherwise missed including items that may have hidden costs. When we found our dream place, our offer was one of four on the table. Thanks to Matt's insight and connections, our offer was chosen. Throughout the closing process, he was immensely helpful with negotiations and planning for a closing date with our difficult travel schedules. When we had questions or concerns, he returned texts or phone calls within a matter of hours. I know when we have another real estate transaction in Chicago, we will absolutely connect with him again.

A great start is half the battle won. For us, it started with choosing Matt Laricy as our realtor.
As we started writing the review, we realized we both have had a great experience and wanted to share our individual experience. So, here you go with our individual reviews for Matt!
From Her: Having no knowledge about the housing market it was extremely important for us to find a realtor who was both a guide and an advisor to us besides being good at his/her job! Matt has proved to be all three and then some. Matt helped us navigate through the process(of home buying) keeping a tight reign on our short term and long term goals. With his keen eye and attention to details Matt would always help us, not only, look at even the smallest of things, but also explained why we should pay attention to those things. This helped us make more informed and intelligent decisions. He had some great insights about buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. These insights when coupled with our needs and desires helped us focus more on what would/ would not work for us. And I believe it is important to stay focused during the home buying process as there are just too many distractions and its easy to feel lost and clueless. We spent over 6 months looking for that perfect condo to start the next phase of our lives, and thanks to Matt we were able to not only find everything we desired (not kidding). He was very patient with us, never pushy, very prompt (he responded to email/calls within seconds irrespective the time of the day), extremely organized(shout out to his team especially Maggie and Amy) and always pleasant. He proved to be a great asset to us as he was not only well informed but also has great negotiating skills. These skills helped us get our gorgeous new condo at a price much lower than the asking! While there is no doubt in my mind that we have found our go to person for all our Real Estate needs, what we love the most is that he is a progressive thinker and open minded to learning new things and technologies! In short, he is an awesome guy!!
From Him: As first-time home buyers, we were definitely in unfamiliar and frightening territory, but Matt put us at ease at once. His expertise, knowledge and professionalism were exactly what we were looking for in a realtor. He was both very helpful and very patient when we were indecisive. His advice, compassion and availability made the process go as smoothly for me as possible. He was very approachable all along the way- be it answering our questions over the phone or responding to our queries over the email in a prompt fashion. He always gave us sound and reasonable advice, and we always appreciated his counsel. His involvement didn't end when we found the house we liked. He helped with other facets including the contract, home inspection, the house bid as well as finding us our contractor and helping with ideas about renovating our place. He truly goes above and beyond.
We felt so at peace about the whole thing, mainly because of having him as our realtor. We felt we couldn't go wrong because of his steadfastness and wise counsel. This review would not be complete without mentioning his team members, specially, Maggie and Amy who kept the whole process flow smoothly - from arranging the visits to making sure we were on track to close on the specified date after we had found our condo. Thanks guys!
If we have occasion to recommend a real estate agent to anyone in Chicago, Matt and his team would be our first choice as they have been a delight to work with.

Matt and his team: Amy, Maggie, Chuck and others are very deserving of the positive reviews you see here. They are highly motivated, knowledgeable, responsive and really get the job done. Matt and his team got our condo under contract in 6 days after listing. I highly recommend you seek out their services if you want your place sold quickly and done right. I was a first time seller and they made the process smooth.

Best realtor I've worked with. Matt personally responded within minutes of requesting information on his website. He met with me the next day and spent an hour going over his experience, recommendations for my property, and strategies him and his team would use to help the property sell. He presented detailed research on the area and current market, giving an educated recommendation on asking price. Within three days of the property being on market, I had an offer. By the end of the week we had a contract. His team continued to consistently communicate with me, keeping me posted on where we were at in the closing process. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for a honest, professional realtor that will make you feel like you are his only client, this is your guy.

Matt is an absolute pleasure to work with! He was extremely responsive and very knowledgeable about the Chicago neighborhoods and market. Matt did a great job helping us in our search and provided excellent recommendations along the way. He always shared his honest thoughts and provided great insight on whether or not a unit matched our needs/preferences – which made the decision process really easy. His team was very accommodating and worked to set up appointments that best fit our schedule. Matt did a fabulous job negotiating – and made the sale process painless and even enjoyable! We would hands down recommend Matt to any of our friends and family. Thanks for all of your help, Matt! We are so excited to move into our new home.

Matt and his team are the best in Chicago! As a first time home buyer, he guided me through the process and answered all of my questions at virtually any hour (even after closing). Matt is very knowledgeable and honest about the market. You can trust that he will steer you in the right direction to find the perfect home based on your preferences. I would highly recommend you have Matt on your side when purchasing your next home.

Matt was great. He showed us a number of places and was patient with us at every turn. Matt and his group are quick to respond to every email. The greatest benefit, especially as first time homebuyers, was the network of professionals that Matt puts you in contact with through the process. There's quite a few critical timelines in a home closing and it comes as a huge benefit to have a broker that can recommend ideal candidates for the attorney, mortgage process, inspector, and even contractors if needed.
If you need a real estate broker, I highly recommend Matt.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Matt Laricy as our our realtor when we sold our rental property in Chicago. The entire experience was top notch, from the cutting edge 360 degree photos which allowed prospective buyers to navigate through the property to get a good feel of it, to the quick responsiveness and great negotiating skills to get us the sale price we wanted. I would definitely recommend Matt Laricy for anyone seeking a great realtor.

Matt was very easy to work with. He's always professional, returns calls/emails promptly, shows up on time, and if he can't personally make it to something, he makes sure someone else from his team is there to meet you.
Most importantly, matt had great insight into market pricing, and his solution or suggestions to any pricing wasn't simply "spend more" as some realtors will tell you to do, just so they can get the commission.
After working with Matt, you can tell he does things the right way, because he wants you to trust him and he wants to work with you in the future.
After using Matt as our buying agent, we're definitely going to use him again in the future, when the time is right.

Matt is the consummate real estate professional. His knowledge and honest input of the neighborhoods and buildings was invaluable to us - first time condo buyers. Matt understood that we were trying to find our way regarding what we wanted and he was patient with us to develop what was important to us. One of the invaluable things was that he figured out what we wanted and where it was best to find it very quickly. Now that we have gone through this process, I really can't imagine going through this process with anyone other than Matt. We would use Matt again in a heartbeat and I would strongly suggest you get Matt on your side.

Matt and team were absolutely stellar from start to finish. Matt was clear and efficient in his communication with me. He provided regular updates and quickly and expertly answered any questions I had about the condo or market. His communication in regards to steps, timing, and responsibilities was extremely organized and the team helped out with every request I had. Selling my condo while no longer living in Chicago would be hard for most but Matt and team made it as painless as possible. I recommend Matt without reservation and would go back to him to buy again if I ever moved back to Chicago. 5 stars across the board.

From the start of our housing search all the way to the end, we were treated with nothing less than excellence. Matt is a knowledgeable agent and quickly understood exactly what we were looking for in our first ever condo purchase. He lent us a helping hand in regards to what we should look for and what we should steer clear of. 10/10 would use again

Matt is extremely hardworking and diligent. I'm a first-time condo buyer and Matt made the process very comfortable as he explained every step of the way. He was able to work with my limited schedule and was flexible. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking for a new place in Chicago.

We moved to Chicago/US about a year ago. Even though we been through the buying and selling process elsewhere. There are still many differences in the details. Not to mention the real estate markets are very different. We found Matt based on the good reviews he has online. He promptly contacted us and gave us an overview and what was to expect along the process. If you like working with someone that is professional, patient, diligent, and respond promptly, Matt is the person for you. He spent the time to know your needs and preferences. No high-pressure tactics. He has intimate knowledge of Chicago downtown buildings. This will save you time and frustration. Before working with Matt, We worked with 4 other agents in the past from other cities. Matt beats them hands-down by a far margin. He gives a meaning to the word professional to the realtors' profession. We will not hesitate to work with him again in the future and we are already recommending him to our friends.

A few words about an impressive real estate agent, Matt Laricy: This energetic, ethical professional shouldered the burden of sales and the intrinsic obstacles to deliver a quick sale with a smooth follow through. Best I’ve seen in 40 years; I wish I had more for him to sell!

I wound Matt through reading all the positive review.It is very daunting as first time home buyer and just move to the city. Matt is extremely help especially in providing insightful and HONEST opinion of the neighborhoods, very honest and always answer email, text, phone very quickly. You name it, he will answer it. Matt had this huge passion toward real estate and it showed during the showing. He knows pros and cons of the units and can get to the point very quickly. He knew how to work the problem and make the closing very smooth. He also had very good relationship with all the people during the transaction which make the closing goes very well. Highly recommended.

My husband and I were first time home-buyers and knew almost nothing about what the process of buying a condo in Chicago entailed, and we were on a time crunch from the get-go. We found Matt's name online and were immediately impressed by him. From the very first email to our closing (and beyond), Matt has been extremely attentive to our needs, helped us through some of the bumps in the road that inevitably come up with buying a home (and a foreclosure, in particular), and most importantly, always acted with our best interests and needs in mind. His follow-through, meticulous attention to detail, and communication are all top-notch--morning, noon, or night, you can reach him (and he'll respond!)--and he made buying our first place a manageable, non-scary, and non-intimidating process. He's a good guy, makes his clients comfortable, and really knows his stuff. We never felt pressured about anything, which was huge. We'd recommend him without hesitation.

I recently purchased a condo in Lincoln Park and used Matt as my realtor. As a first time home buyer I was very unfamiliar with the process and Matt was there every step of the way. Matt was flexible with my schedule and was able to secure appointments with short notice. I told Matt what I was looking for in my first home and he helped to steer me in the right direction. After viewing each property Matt would ask my opinion and talk me through the pro's and con's. I trusted that Matt had my best interest in mind and he didnt allow me to get ahead of myself. After signing my contract I closed on my new home within one month. The week of my closing I was constantly e-mailing Matt with all of my questions and he never seemed bothered by me. I am very happy with my purchase, I got exactly what I wanted for a great price. I would give Matt my highest reccommendation! Thanks Matt!

Dealing with Matt felt like working with an old friend, even though we only met a few months ago. Throughout my condo buying process he was attentive, responsive, extremely professional, and actually cared about finding the best place for me. Also he is objective as they come and tells you the straight story the first time. As a customer who knew practically nothing about buying a condo, from day 1 Matt told me the in's and out's of the process. No question was a dumb question and he answered me clearly and thoughtfully. Also Matt knew what buildings were in the best financial standing and where I should look. He quickly found me my dream condo. After we put an offer in it was accepted within a few days and it was exactly what I wanted to pay. The closing process took some time because of some unforeseen circumstances, but throughout the process Matt was constantly in touch with me providing both updates and support. He is available almost 24/7, actually picks up the phone, returns texts and calls, and at the end of the day he gets it done - right, the first time. If you want the best work with Matt. You will be very glad you did.

If Superman worked real estate, they would call him Laricy. We are a young couple that was looking for our first home in Chicago and Matt offered phenomenal guidance through the process. From the time we stumbled across his contact info on a real estate website all the way to the closing table, he was the epitome of exceptional service. - No matter what time of day or what form of communication you use to get in touch with him, he responds faster than a speeding bullet. The concept of after hours does not exist for Matt and I cannot remember ever waiting more than 15 minutes for a response to an email, text or phone call, even in the middle of the night. - When it comes to negotiating and closing the deal, he's more powerful than a locomotive. We had extraordinary circumstances as home buyers and an extremely tight timeline that many other real estate professionals said would be too difficult. This is where Matt's leadership ability shines as he was able to assemble and coordinate a team of lenders, lawyers, and inspectors that were dedicated and able to get the job done. - As far as his ability to match his clients' needs with his knowledge of the downtown Chicago market, it feels like he's regularly jumping over these buildings in a single bound. His data-driven approach and excellent advice helped us avoid bad properties/buildings and ultimately find the home that matched our needs and wants, all within our budget and specific timeframe. At the end of the day, Matt has not only earned our future business but our sincerest gratitude and respect. He is an invaluable ally to have during the buying process and comes highly recommended from a couple of proud new homeowners.

Matt was really friendly and knowledgeable. He was also easy to get in touch with, every time I needed to get in touch with him, he usually replied emails within a couple hours. He was especially helpful when we were visiting the properties, he was able to point out something or asked questions that are important that I didn't notice.

We found Matt online when we were looking at houses on a whim. We found him to be an expert in all things Real Estate. One of us had purchased before (about four years ago) but everything is very different since the Real Estate decline. Working with Matt is great because he brings along an amazing team of realtors, mortgage lenders, attorneys, and a dedicated team. During our transaction we dealt with: financing issues, an intense offer negotiation, an inspection that found upcoming issues, last minute scheduling problems at close, an appraisal under our offer (getting more common), and last minute assessments coming up. Matt dealt with each of these issues in stride, constantly working to make sure we got the best deal, and would continue to be happy in our new home. I have no doubts that these deal would have fallen through if we hadn't used Matt. We can say we're happy to now have our 2 Bedroom 2 Bath in Lincoln Square unpacked and livable and Matt made this a reality for us! Thanks again, Matt! We'll definitely recommend our family and friends to you!

All of my expectations were met while dealing with Matt. If you were to look up Real Estate in the dictionary you would find Matt's name. He's personable, knowledgeable of many neighborhoods, straight to the point, and most importantly honest. You can tell he's passionate about his craft and does it well. Save yourself time and give him a call.

Moved from CA to Chicago and didn't know anyone here so looked for a realtor through yelp and other sites. Matt was top rated on several so I reached out. I had two days in Chicago to find something to purchase or I would be stuck renting. Matt communicated very well, even with the time difference (I don't think he sleeps) and even though I have him the wrong month for my visit he was able to scramble and put together viewings and I found the perfect place. He definitely understood the neighborhoods and buildings (bought in south loop), as well as explaining to me the difference between Illinois and CA real estate transactions. Was great at keeping in touch even circling back to make sure my move went fine. Also a great resource for attorney and other services. I would refer him to anyone and will definitely use him if I have another RE transaction.

Of the many real estate agents I have worked with in the last 35 years, I would never consider using anyone other than Matt Laricy for future real estate transactions. To have someone who promptly returns calls, attends to every detail, is a tough negotiator, has great listening skills--and is extremely honest--is somewhat a rarity in my experience. I never doubted that this was a professional who was working very hard for ME. What a pleasant experience to find that selling real estate does not have to be stressful!

Word of mouth can be powerful and we were referred to Matt by friends as our lease was expiring with interest in purchasing our first condo. With a small window we were hesitant that we’d be able to find what we were looking for prior to our scheduled move out date. With a typical first time owners wish list from River North to Lincoln Park, Matt assured us that as long as we dedicated ourselves to the search and made the time for showings, he would do everything possible to get us settled by d-day. Matt encouraged us to keep an open mind and we actually ended up with a condo we love that we would have never chosen from the online photos! With incredible patience for our never-ending questions, Matt proved his value again and again. Matt brings not only expertise in the Chicago real estate market and superlative negotiating skills as many clients have mentioned, he also maintains great relationships with his colleagues and partners in the field. From other realtors to home inspectors to loan officers, we did not meet one person in the industry that did not know Matt Laricy and speak highly of him. We have already recommended him to friends and would love to use him again when it comes time for the next bigger and better place!

My wife and I decided to contact Matt after reading all the positive reviews he had. We looked at about 6 properties and even asked him to revisit one unit that we wanted to make an offer on. What impressed us about Matt was that he was very patient, explained the pros and cons of a location, and was very knowledgable of the areas we were interested in. We never felt rushed or obligated, and he always looked out for our best interest. As for responsiveness, it couldn't have been any better. We were able to reach Matt by email, phone, or text. And he responded within a couple of hours, and most of the time within minutes, day or night. We highly recommend using Matt and would not hesitate to refer him to others. We would definitely use him again in the future.
