Matt and his team were incredibly efficient and professional. This was our first time buying a home, and we didn't know much about the process, but they made everything smooth and stress-free. They were always responsive to our questions and handled everything proactively. They kept us informed and updated at every step, and everything was extremely well-organized. The whole team was super friendly, and working with them was a pleasure. I would definitely recommend Matt and his team!

Matt and his team were a pleasure to work with and the best asset I could ask for when searching for my first condo. His knowledge of both the area and market conditions was pivotal in helping me find the perfect unit in a high-turnover, low-volume neighborhood. Matt provides constant updates so you always know the status of your search. From showing to closing, Matt makes every step less stressful and far easier than expected.

Lexi was exceptional to work with, we couldn’t be happier. We planned a very rushed move to Chicago from the east coast and came across one of her listings. She responded immediately and quickly found us great units to tour. Within days, we toured. She clearly has excellent knowledge of local trends and availability , and answered every question we had. Once we began the leasing process, Lexi answered our numerous questions and got us into an agreement with our dream unit. We really appreciated two aspects of working with her. She was very honest about different units we were interested in and fought to get us the best deal every step of the way. Working with someone who was so knowledgeable and kind made our moving experience so much better, and will go back to her for any future needs.

Bottom line- Matt goes to bat for you, and I could not recommend his team enough. Everyone went above and beyond to make the selling process as smooth as possible. Their process is extremely buttoned-up and professional.
I actually used them to buy my condo as well, and they were so good that I knew I had to use them when I’d sell. The whole team is exceptionally responsive, one of the biggest reasons I came back. Whenever any hiccups arose, they knew exactly how to navigate them and helped ease the natural stress that comes with selling.
Matt has a boots-on-the-ground approach and was involved all the way through. There were twice a week check-ins with both quantitative and qualitative updates on showings, offers, traction, comps, the broader market, and more. Their knowledge of the real estate market is unmatched.
At first, I was worried about how long it would take to get my unit sold, but their staging, marketing, showing, and ability to navigate offers created a better outcome than I thought was even possible. It sold fast AND I netted more than I thought I would. Will use them again.

This was my second time buying, and also my second time working with the Laricy team. Just like the first time, I am very satisfied with the professionalism that Matt (and his team) provided for me - below are just some of them. 1. I was fairly picky in my house choices this time (and thus, had went to a lot of showings) but the Laricy team had shown nothing short of patience and understanding throughout the process. shout out to Mickey Hobson for being with me at all the showings! 2. The Laricy team was always on point when scheduling showings - I was almost always able to see a place within a day of asking for it. Shout out to Jamie and Victoria for setting things up! 3. Matt Laricy was able to get me, in my opinion, a fairly good deal on new home I closed this last Friday - I am very satisfied.
All in all - I recommend the Laricy team to any one, whether you are looking for the first or second time, or seasoned, the Laricy Team wont disappoint.

Matt and his team (JC, Jamie, Jessica, Megan, Victoria) helped me buy and later sell my place in Hyde Park. If you take away only one thing about their team, let the lesson be that they listed my place and sold it the same day, at a price I was thrilled with, and made the entire process as easy as possible. Start to finish, the team was diligent, courteous, available, professional, sophisticated, and organized. From scheduling walk-throughs and tours to coordinating with the buyer to launching a social media campaign around the listing, Matt and his team were the ultimate professionals. I could write a 10,000-word review, but I'll stop here by saying: if I buy or sell again in Chicago, Matt and his team will be my first call.

Review for Condo Selling Agent in Chicago I had an exceptional experience working with Matt Laricy as my selling agent for my condo in Chicago. His dedication and proactive approach truly set him apart. He went above and beyond to market my property, ensuring it stood out in a competitive market. He arranged for professional photos that beautifully showcased the condo, and even created a captivating Instagram Reel to promote it, which drew significant interest. His commitment to visibility was evident, as he organized showings every single day the property was listed, maximizing exposure and buyer interest. Even after the property went under contract, Matt Laricy and his team continued to impress. When my mover overlooked some of my dishes, his team ensured these items were shipped across the country to me—a thoughtful gesture that went far beyond their role. His professionalism, attention to detail, and the outstanding support from his team made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Matt Laricy and his team to anyone looking to sell their property in Chicago!

Matt and his team were incredibly helpful throughout my entire buying experience. Matt himself was a wealth of knowledge when it came to neighborhoods, buildings, comps, and just about any other question I had, while Jamie kept everything running smoothly from the time I put in an offer to the time I closed. Hands down, the Laricy Team’s expertise and process is unmatched; I’d put my trust in them time and again whether buying or selling.

We just closed on our dream condo with Matt Laricy and his incredible team, and we couldn’t be happier! From our very first conversation to closing day, Matt made the entire process seamless, professional, and surprisingly fun.
With our lease ending, we had a tight window (mid-July to mid-August) to either find a home or continue renting. We came into the process knowing exactly what we wanted and warned Matt we’d be very picky. He was completely supportive of that, never once rushing us or applying pressure. In fact, just days before our perfect condo hit the market, we told him we’d probably hold off and rent another year. Then our dream place appeared, and everything changed.
Matt had us in the door for a showing immediately, and we had our offer accepted the very next day. His negotiation skills, expert advice, and the flawless execution of his team made what could have been a stressful process feel effortless. One of the things that stood out most is how insanely responsive Matt is—he replies within minutes, which gave us so much confidence at every step.
From offer to close, we felt supported, informed, and in the best hands possible. If you’re looking for a realtor who is highly experienced, strategic, and always on your side, Matt Laricy is the one. We can’t recommend him and his team highly enough!

I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Matt Laricy and his team on the sale of my townhouse. From our very first conversation to the final closing day, they exceeded every expectation I had and made the entire process seamless, professional, and even enjoyable!
Matt came prepared with a deep understanding of the market, a smart pricing strategy, and a top-notch marketing plan that included stunning photos, videos, compelling listings, and widespread exposure. Thanks to him and his team’s efforts, my townhouse sold quickly and for an excellent price — better than I’d even hoped for.
What truly sets Matt and his team apart is the personal touch. He and his team communicated clearly and promptly every step of the way, answered all my questions with patience and insight, and handled every detail with care. I always felt like a priority, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless during a real estate transaction.
If you're looking to sell your home and want someone who is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend Matt Laricy and his group LARICY- Americorp Ltd. You won’t find a better advocate or partner in the process.
Thank you again, Matt, for everything!

Matt and his team were excellent to work with from start to finish. We met several of his team members over the course of a few months looking for homes. We enjoyed working with a group that let us take things at our own pace -- we knew what we wanted, we were just waiting for the right fit. We were never bothered or bombarded. But, when we were ready for a showing or to put an offer in, they responded very promptly and were ready to move forward. We highly recommend the Laricy Team to anyone looking to buy a home!

Working with Matt, Mickey and the entire Laricy team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They took the time to truly understand what our family was looking for and found us not only the perfect space, but also the right neighborhood that fit exactly what we wanted.
Throughout the showing process, Mickey was empathetic, patient, and incredibly supportive—never pushing, always listening, and guiding us with honest insights that made us feel confident in our decision. The whole team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled smoothly, from the first showing to the day we closed.
What impressed us most is that their care didn’t end at closing. Weeks and even months later, they continued to check in, answer questions, and make sure we were settled and happy in our new home. It’s rare to find a team that truly prioritizes their clients the way Matt, Mickey, and the group do.
We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if you’re looking for agents who are professional, empathetic, and committed to your happiness long after the paperwork is signed, this is the team you want by your side.

We really couldn’t recommend Matt and his team highly enough. We presented Matt a somewhat unique situation, finding and purchasing a condo for us while we were entirely out of state. Despite being remote, every step of the transaction went smoothly without even the smallest hiccup. But where Matt really shined for us was his deep understanding of the Chicago real estate market. Being complete novices in the world of Chicago condos we needed someone who we could rely on to educate us about the market and guide us through a process unfamiliar to us from out of state. Matt understood our needs, impressed us with his knowledge and experience, and left us confident that we were making the right decisions all along the way. All this, with Matt and every member of his team being super responsive and an utter pleasure to work with.

I worked with the Laricy team to purchase my first home in Chicago. I cannot emphasize enough how great this team is. From start to finish, they supported me every step of the way, making the whole process smooth & simple. The team as a whole acts with a level of professionalism, industry knowledge, and honesty that would be very difficult to find anywhere else. I enjoyed working with every member of the team, and will continue to work with this team going forward.

Matt and the whole team at Laricy sold our condo while living overseas. I looked him up online, read the reviews and called him up. He described to me the selling process and created expectations that quite honestly I thought were too high to be maintained… I was prepared have my expectations be unmet, instead Matt and his team exceeded our expectations and have delivered on everything that they said they were going to do. You can tell that the team has clear goals, roles and responsibilities and runs with discipline. 10/10.

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 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

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!

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.

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.

Very organized team that helps you understand the housing market of TODAY. We worked with Matt's team for only two months from the beginning of the search until closing. When we saw the one we loved, we got a tour the next day and submitted an offer the same day. Incredibly happy with our experience.

We've worked with Matt and his team multiple times—for buying, renting, and eventually selling our condo—and I can't recommend them enough! Matt is honest, straightforward, and consistently offers valuable advice and insights. His deep understanding of the Chicago market was a huge asset throughout each step. Since we were out of state, Matt and his team handled everything seamlessly—from painting and staging to the final closing. If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable team to guide you through a smooth real estate process, Matt is the one to call!

Matt and team was amazing! They take personal stride to engage with all stakeholders to ensure the contract and closing crosses the finish line. They always keep their client interest as first priority and never compromise just to close a deal.

Matt and his team are truly outstanding. Every step of our homebuying journey was both personal and professional - my family wouldn’t have landed our dream home without the Laricy Team. Their deep knowledge of the Chicago market, patient yet strategic guidance, and ability to make magic happen in a pinch gave us confidence from day one. What really sets them apart is their transparency, lightning-fast communication, and commitment to doing what’s best for the client, always. We've worked with a lot of real estate agents over the years, and this was by far the smoothest, most impressive experience. Simply the best in the business.

Matt and the Laricy group team were wonderful!! We are first time home buyers and had a LOT of questions. His team (Jamie and John Paul Combs) were excellent to work with. There team was patient and honest. I looked at so many properties with them and never once felt pressured in either direction. They were honest from the start and pointed out things I wouldn’t have noticed. They were so responsive and timely (seriously, I’ve never met someone who responds to emails so quick)! They were a joy to work with throughout the whole process

Lexi Sandroff made my apartment search in Chicago an incredible experience! I was looking for a rental in the Gold Coast, and from day one, Lexi was attentive, professional, and genuinely committed to helping me find the perfect place.
She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and used her deep knowledge of the Chicago market to show me great options that matched my needs and style. Lexi made the whole process seamless—she was always quick to respond, flexible with scheduling, and offered great advice along the way.
Thanks to her, I found my dream apartment, and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a rental in Chicago, especially in the Gold Coast, I can’t recommend Lexi enough!

Matt is very knowledgeable about the buildings or areas and extremely knowledgeable about the market that he would share his thoughts that really help to narrow down of what we want and expect. He and his team were very responsive and response to email in quick second. They had made the process of finding a place, putting an offer down, and closing was extremely smooth, quick and easy.

Buying my first home was a huge milestone, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide through the process than Matt. From our first meeting, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and patiently answered every question I had—no matter how small. Matt was always responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Their calm, professional demeanor gave me the confidence I needed to make informed decisions every step of the way.
What really stood out was how much Matt genuinely cared about finding the right home for me—not just any sale. He was honest, proactive, and always had my best interests in mind, which made a world of difference. When it came time to negotiate and close, he handled everything with skill and attention to detail. Thanks to Matt, I’m now settled in a home I love, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, supportive, and dedicated realtor.

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. He really is the best in the city.

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.

It's clear that he stays well-informed and does his homework—his insights were always on point.
Matt made the home-buying process feel much simpler and less stressful, even in a competitive market. Thanks to his guidance and strategy, I was able to secure the home I wanted despite multiple offers. I really appreciated that he was honest and straightforward—he clearly explained the pros and cons of every option and never tried to sugarcoat anything.
His team was also amazing to work with. They handled every detail and kept things moving smoothly, helping to close the sale in just 20 days without me having to worry about a thing.

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

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.

Had a fantastic experience with Matt and his team. I initially hired a family member to sell my River North property when I realized quickly we needed a realtor who was both in the local market and who had years of expertise. I appreciated Matt’s no-BS approach and the professionalism of him and his staff. The entire time I felt fully supported and informed, and his team made the whole process as seamless as possible. Hire Matt & while you’re at it, give him a follow on Instagram. His content is a 10.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with the Laricy Team! Selling my condo had been a nightmare before switching to them—it sat on the market for months with no progress. But as soon as they took over, they got it sold!
They were on top of everything from the start and kept me updated with quick feedback throughout the whole process. I honestly couldn’t believe how easy they made it for me. Selling a condo is usually so stressful, but my stress level was basically nonexistent thanks to them.
If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing and actually gets results, I highly recommend Matt Laricy and his team. They’re the real deal!

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.

We enjoyed working with Matt and his group in our condo purchase. Having only visited Chicago once a couple of months earlier, we were in need of someone experienced with both Chicago real estate and living in the Chicago urban center, and Matt was ideal for both of those. He was also able to negotiate a better purchase price than we had hoped to get. Additionally, his office personnel were great in helping us to navigate the complicated purchase process. If we ever need another realtor in Chicago, Laricy's group is where we will go.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt Laricy and Lacircy team Jamie to sell my condo in downtown Chicago. Matt has an in-depth understanding of Chicago downtown market . I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and dedication throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Matt took the time to meet with me and understand my goals and provided expert advice on pricing and marketing strategies. I also thank attorney Lisa and her team to help me with the closing. The communications with both the agent and attorney were clear and consistent, keeping me informed at every step, and making the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, responsive and caring, I highly recommend Laricy Team.

As first-time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor team! From the moment we began, they thoroughly explained the entire homebuying process, ensuring we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. They really took the time to listen to our needs and preferences, and only showed us homes that fit our criteria. Once we found a place we liked, they quickly scheduled a showing, and when it was time to make an offer, they walked us through every detail with clarity and professionalism. Their guidance and support were invaluable, and we truly couldn’t have done this without them. We are incredibly grateful for their expertise and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home!

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. I could never see myself working with anyone else in Chicago but Matt and his team. Could not be more grateful! He’s also fun to hang out with so viewing days are never dull.

Matt's team has demonstrated high standards and professionalism from the moment he sent over the listing agent service presentations. I had just ended the contract with another listing agent that I was not happy with and I decided to switch my approach to conduct serious interviews before I signing a new listing agent. Matt's team was super responsive, tech savvy and very knowledgable about the local market. Some agents were only interested in the high end market and you can tell they do not put in same effort for the average bread and butter market. I would strongly recommend using Matt's team if you want a listing agent/buyer agent that deeply cares about client satisfaction.

We can't recommend Matt Laricy and the Laricy Team highly enough for anyone looking to sell their property in Chicago. From start to finish, they demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and expertise that truly sets them apart.
Matt Laricy was incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring every aspect of the sale was meticulously handled. He was dedicated, consistently going above and beyond to achieve the best outcome for us. The advice and recommendations provided were not only thoughtful, but also backed by demonstrable metrics and anecdotes, which gave us a clear understanding of our position and options. The depth of Matt's knowledge of the Chicago real estate market was impressive, and it was clear why he is THE top agent in the city.
And we simply cannot forget the outstanding support team behind Matt. They were extremely responsive, helpful, and just truly phenomenal -- making the entire process smooth and efficient.

Matt Laricy and his team of Justin, Gretchen, and Jamie are a dream team in Real Estate. They were with me every step of my purchase, and each had invaluable insights of the business which I couldn’t find anywhere else. Even though I was requesting many showings and was asking a lot of questions throughout the purchase, underwriting, and closing, they never let anything go without a timely response. 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!
I will 100% work with them again, and I’m telling everyone I know to use Matt as their realtor. If you need anything in real estate, I couldn’t recommend Matt Laricy and his team enough.

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.

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.

It was a pleasure to work with Matt and his team, in particular John Paul, during the home search process. By being efficient and knowledgeable, they ensured that the process went smoothly. During our tour of Lincoln Park, we passed through a variety of properties, ranging from a giant renovation to a gem with a lakeside view, which I love. Thanks to Matt Laricy and his team, I have found my dream home.
Lastly, I would like to mention that the wine that Matt gave me as a gift was exceptional.

Picking a realtor is a big deal, and they are not created equal. After a rough experience last year, we took the time to interview a few realtors before picking someone. Matt Laricy was direct, professionals and came to our apartment to give a presentation on what his team could do. He made our choice extremely easy. Matt Laricy, Mickey Hobson and the rest of the Laricy Group Team made every aspect of the selling of our apartment efficient, easy and smooth. They were upfront about the market, quick to have open houses and showings. Our place sold in only a few weeks! Highly suggest!

Matt was an excellent realtor during this process. I was a first time homebuyer and wanted to understand all aspects of the process. He was great at walking me through each step, helping me understand the questions to ask, and ultimately guiding me through a competitive process. His flexibility was critical as we needed to tour the property within 24 hours to be competitive and his negotiation skills got the deal done in a competitive process. Matt was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to find a new home.

There are a lot of moving parts with purchasing a home, and Matt and his team made the process seamless and easy to understand.

Matt and his team were nothing short of fantastic to work with. Matt provided helpful advice and ideas that were tailored to our specific situation, needs and requests for selling our condo. Everything he promised he would do for us in the beginning was delivered on time or early, often exceeding my expectations. His team is incredibly organized and provided checklists and upcoming to-dos at each turn (I work in consulting/project management and was even impressed). With the amount of things that need to happen in order to list/sell a condo in Chicago, it was reassuring to know that his team was tracking and organizing each step, and I could always feel confident in knowing where everything stood in the process. Additionally, Matt was able to provide excellent recommendations for vendors surrounding the moving process (e.g. attorneys, moving company, rental property). I cannot recommend Matt and his team enough!

We are fortunate to have selected Americorp Services, led by Matt, for our condo search in Chicago's premium buildings. Working with Matt, JC, Jessica, Gretchen, and their entire team was truly amazing. They provided the best services, keeping us well-informed about available properties closely matching our preferences. They offered detailed lists of pros and cons for each property. Throughout the process, there was no pressure to make a purchase; instead, they demonstrated patience and enthusiasm while showing us multiple properties. We are confident that we'll enlist their services again for our upcoming investment properties in the loop.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt Laricy, and I am truly impressed by the exceptional service that Matt and his team provided. The entire process was remarkably smooth, and the coordination displayed in closing the deal in less than 10 days, especially considering the holiday season, was nothing short of remarkable.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Matt and his team on the purchase of our Old Town condo. His knowledge of the downtown market was outstanding! He and his team efficiently scheduled the showings, and Matt always personally gave us the tour and important information about each property.

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.

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).

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.

Matt is our first and only call for real estate needs in Chicago. Time and again his expertise and no-nonsense approach has produced results for us.

He’s always guided us well and every time we’ve worked with him we’ve come away confident that working with Matt put extra money in our pockets at the end of the deal. He always negotiates hard and fights for every penny in our favor, always delivering more than expected.

The Laricy team was truly exceptional. Matt has an incredible understanding of the real estate landscape and ensures that his clients share this knowledge as they navigate the Chicago market. Nick does a remarkable job of staging properties/communities for you to see, and Jamie works efficiently behind the scenes to make the process appear effortless. 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.

Matt's team is truly a dream real estate team! Several years dealing with Matt Laricy Group, the dedication, the zeal and the work ethic have remained consistent. Matt has great market insights and intuition. Any question is answered within a few hours, any time of the day. Large marketing outreach leads to tons of prospect buyer traffic through the property - he does not turn down requests! Matt negotiates hard and, what's extremely valuable, has connections with contractors that come the next day! Amazing experience overall.

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!

Matt dealt with us for close to 8 years, taking us to countless showings as we wavered back and forth about whether and where to buy. He found the perfect place for us last year and navigated a particularly difficult closing. We absolutely love our home and couldn’t be more grateful for Matt.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt Laricy and his team when purchasing my first home! I am incredibly impressed with the level of service I received. From start to finish, Matt was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive.
Throughout the entire process, Matt, Catherine, and Jamie were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had, and went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable with every decision I made. They took the time to explain the various steps involved in buying a home, and made sure I understood everything before moving forward.
One thing that really stood out to me about Matt was his attention to detail. He made sure that every aspect of the transaction was handled efficiently and effectively, and made sure that I was aware of any potential issues or roadblocks that could arise.
Overall, I am thrilled with the service I received and would highly recommend him and his team to anyone in the market for a new home. Their expertise and professionalism truly made the home buying process a breeze, and I am grateful for all the hard work they put in to make this a reality.

Matt and his team were a huge help for me as a first time buyer. I was not comfortable with my randomly-assigned agent through Zillow and was referred to Matt through a friend. His direct, no-BS style was what I needed because I did not know my left from my right and needed to know my realtor was someone who could be frank; and, more importantly, that I could be frank with him. He was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, and did not waste my time with fluff or platitudes. You can be up front with Matt, and Matt will be upfront with you. Shout out to his team as well, including John Paul and Jamie, as they were also huge in getting me set up with viewings and being knowledgeable about every one that I saw. I got into my new place in no time and felt great about it.

EDIT: A recent interaction with this team made me realize how my initial review doesn’t scratch the surface as to why the Laricy team is truly the best.
They have been with me every step of the way, and provided the utmost value at each of those steps. I recently called for advice on something in my new place, and both Jamie and Matt took the time to listen to my concerns and provide thoughtful advice — this is 5 months after my purchase!
This is just one of many reasons to work with Matt and his team. Thank you again!!

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.

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!

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.

We cannot thank Matt & his team enough and highly recommend their services. Matt and his team made us feel like selling our property was their number one priority. He was honest but supportive throughout the process. His responsiveness was impeccable. His advice was accurate. During negotiations and follow up, Matt and his team truly made it painless. I would highly recommend this group for a positive and swift experience. And a huge bonus was their advanced social media/photography skills!

Matt was so responsive, attentive and honest with us. He was so knowledgeable about the real estate market and provided us with so much knowledge that we wouldn't have known otherwise! He was really great to work with and we felt so great throughout the whole process from start to finish! We couldn't recommend Matt more and we encourage anyone to work with him!!

Matt and his team were amazing. Sharp and aggressive, which is necessary in this crazy market. He is quick to respond and work outside of regular hours to help you find a home. I had a smooth experience as they held my hand from start to finish. Did not run into any issues during the process. 10/10 would recommend.

Matt and his team were absolutely incredible. My wife and I just purchased our first home and were very nervous when we began the process due to our lack of experience with real estate. Matt put those fears to rest by always making himself and his team available to field our questions and hear our concerns. Their responsiveness, expertise, and demeanor were extremely appreciated and repeatedly calmed our nerves while we conducted our search, submitted an offer, attended the inspection, and proceeded to the closing. I cannot recommend this group strongly enough.

Matt and his team were top-notch. As a licensed Realtor myself, I trusted Matt to sell my condo. Matt was honest, direct, and straight-forward. Matt proactively negotiated on my behalf throughout the process with fantastic results. It was a very smooth process and Matt's team drove the activity every step of the process. I got frequent updates and never felt like I had to reach out to get a status. While it was terrific working with Matt, I would be remiss not to mention Matt's team. They coordinated photos, updates, showings, etc. and ran a seamless process. The process couldn't have gone smoother, and I would highly recommend working with Matt and his team.

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. Without Matt's help and his fantastic team, we would not have been able to buy a unit in good conscience.

We have been working w/ Matt and his team for a about 5+ years, best in the business; From Matt to Jamie, the team exceeds expectations on all fronts! LARICY Group knows the market, very organized and ensures you get white glove service START to FINISH. You would think that once your place is sold, the team would disappear, NOPE. Matt and his team are different from other real estate agencies, quick respond to questions, super organized throughout the process made us feel comfortable that everything would get taken care (esp since we do not live in Chicago), communicating with us throughout the selling process. LARICY Group should be the Blueprint for what a real estate partner should be, they put the rest to shame...

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++.

Matt and his team are wonderful. His strategy for selling was perfect and we got a high quality buyer and an offer over list. Every step of the process went smoothly. This is our fourth time working with Matt (two purchases and two sales) and I strongly recommend working with Matt with your sale or your buy. Matt knows the business and the Chicago market - if there's a house you want, he knows what it will take to get it. If you're selling, he knows what price you can get. Unlike other realtors, Matt is very realistic and direct. And he knows how to deliver.

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. The agency runs like a machine. The only hiccup we had was a missed communication after signing with the buyer that caused some frustration. It was resolved and all ended well. We got a fantastic price for our former home and we are happy. We would use Matt again if we get silly enough to move back to Chicago.

His team was fantastic! Very efficient with scheduling showings that worked around my schedule, extremely organized and kept everyone on task during the offer, inspection, and closing stages.

There’s really nothing like working with a friendly team who seems to be having fun while working with you.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 helped my wife and I buy our first home and he made the entire process as easy as possible.
Matt is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago market (and seemingly just about every specific building in River North). And I don't think I ever encountered anyone who works as hard as him and his team. At every step he and his team went above and beyond leading to a smooth and easy closing on our new home.

Matt, Jamie, Mickey, and the rest of his team were phenomenal. They made my first home buying experience stress-free and straightforward. I ended up with my dream home at a great price with no hiccups along the way.
I was blown away by Matt's response times, he responded to emails instantly almost any time of the day. He did a great job negotiating and getting a price I was happy with. Jamie was incredible keeping things on track and fighting for anything I asked for during closing. Mickey was another great agent that was super helpful familiarizing myself with my new building during closing process.
Overall Matt and his team were wonderful. I ended up going with all his recommendations with Attorneys, inspectors, and lenders which made closing seamless.

Matt and his team were amazing from start to finish. Matt accommodated all of our requests, always responded promptly, and was knowledgeable and informative in responding to questions. He offered so much great advice on what to look for as a buyer and was extremely informed about the local market. His team had a level of organization like I've never seen. I would receive weekly and sometimes daily updates with important upcoming deadlines and was kept constantly in the loop at every stage of the buying process. Matt even recommended a great broker that we ultimately financed with. I could not recommend Matt and his team more highly.

The Laricy Group was amazing from the initial conversation to the finishing touches of our sale. Matt provided realistic expectations about selling our condo given market conditions (then over-delivered!) and gave sound advice prior to listing. The team provided excellent detail about the process, communicated extremely well during listing/sale/closing, and we felt supported at each step along the way. Highly recommend!

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. I would highly recommend Matt, Jamie and the entire Laricy team for all real estate purchases/sales in the future. Final rating=10 out of 10!

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 was the best to work with! From the first meeting, he gave me tons of confidence about his knowledge of the market, his experience, and his responsiveness. Over the next 16 months (we took a long time to buy...), he reconfirmed over and over again that everything he said in that first meeting was true. From super prompt responses to emails/texts/calls, to phenomenal, candid feedback on the dozens of places we toured, Matt made our first home buying process as seamless as possible! His entire team is super organized, communicative, and reliable. We never had to ask for confirmations on dates, times, or locations for meetings, showings, etc. He always made sure we knew what to expect ahead of time, and we never felt like we were rushed through the process.

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 made the process so incredibly easy and laid everything out super clear every step of the way. He was so responsive at all times, which is super important in the fast-paced industry and definitely something you want from an agent. He's also a straight shooter and will tell you his honest opinion, which is great because he is the expert in the space and can mention things that may be overlooked by the average person not in the business. I will definitely be using them in the future!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Matt sold our place in 8 days at the height of the COVID pandemic for more than we were expecting. He also helped us navigate a tricky market with limited inventory to find and buy a new home, while providing helpful advice (and helping us dodge home-buying issues that we would have missed without his guidance). His team was incredibly helpful as well, and always quick to respond to our questions and requests.

We recently moved to Chicago and decided to look for a place to buy. We found Matt thru google via all the positive reviews people left. He did not disappoint in fact he exceeded all expectations. 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 and his team were awesome. We were doing a long distance sale and Matt got our condo listed/sold quickly. He’s a to the point guy and was honest about what our place was worth which set our expectations. He explained everything thoroughly and worked to get us more than we expected. The team also has great marketing resources. Matt and his team were professional, responsive, and efficient. They made selling our place a seamless process. I would 100% recommend using Matt for your real estate needs!

If you are a first-time home buyer, the whole process will overwhelm you. We were in the same boat. Matt helped us guide through the process and answered all our questions each time we meet him. He was patient and did not pressure us in closing any house. He accommodated our needs, and showed us places securely during the spring COVID months. 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. In beginning, this may alarm you, but if you are making a big investment for your home, you want someone like him to not agree with everything you say. Our best wishes to Matt and his company.

I am very appreciative to the MLG for getting my sale done during a very difficult time (Covid). MLG is a well oiled machine and I felt supported every step of the way.

This was the second time I have used Matt & his team; originally when I bought a property in 2012 and then again when I sold this year. His team is very professional, and communicated in a timely manner. I felt confident in relying on his expertise. The condo was on the market for less than a week, so they certainly know how to present & network the location to other realtors. Great experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago.

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.

We could not be happier with our experience of selling and buying a home with Matt Laricy and his team. They are extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market, and are an amazing resource of information. We were able to sell our home after only one day on the market - completely due to Matt and his team. When buying our new home, Matt was informative, attentive, and patient with us through our search. Matt and his team were on top of it all and so efficient with setting up showings, answering questions, etc. They helped us through the entire process in a seamless manner, and always made us feel like their top priority. We would highly recommend the Matt Laricy Group to anyone buying or selling a home!

Matt is the hardest worker we know and it's no surprise why he is the best of the best in Chicago. You will not be disappointed in working with Matt. He gets things done, no questions asked.

Matt and his team are seriously awesome. This was my sixth property purchase (so I have experienced a LOT of realtors) but my very first one in Chicago, so I wanted somebody exceptional. 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. So happy to have found an awesome Chicago realtor, and I will definitely be using Matt and his team for all my future transactions.

I started my search for a condo with minimal knowledge on how the home buying process works. Matt and his team sat down and walked me through the entire process and gave time estimates on each step. Matt sent Tyler to help me, who was very thorough and sent a ton of condos that matched what I was looking for/within price range. He made himself available everyday and was always able to book showings the very next day. We saw many condos in a 3 weeks span and Tyler acted in a professional manner each day we saw him. Even among the COVID-19 pandemic, Tyler was able to meet with me and show me places. Jamie was great in finalizing details and sending everything both the seller and I needed in a timely manner. I am so grateful I used the Matt Laricy Group to purchase my first condo and highly recommend them to anyone.

Listed our River North condo March 6th and closed May 15th in the middle of a pandemic – this is really all you need to know regarding the expertise of The Matt Laricy Group. Matt Laricy, along with assistant Jamie Price, and all who had a hand in this transaction were professional, organized, responsive and resourceful every step of the way. From developing our eye-catching listing using the best photography and video personnel, tracking and reporting interest activity, to completing the many tasks necessary among a multitude of parties once securing our buyer, The Matt Laricy Group’s practices and attention to detail were exceptional. Having received three good offers overall, this sale had just the right amount of positive tension and Matt led us through skillfully.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 was great. He was incredibly responsive throughout the process. He and his team ran everything for us while we were out of state, and the process went very smoothly. The photos / content they provide made our house look great - well beyond our expectations. He gave great advice, knew the area well, and was candid throughout the process. Could not recommend Matt and his whole team (especially Jamie who went to bat for us time after time).

Matt came recommended to us from a coworker who had nothing but praise for Matt's energy and expertise. After working with Matt on the recent sale of our home, we are in total agreement. From the initial interview to closing day, Matt and his staff made the whole process very easy for us. We lived offsite from the property, but that was never an issue for us. Matt was spot on with the selling price, always very responsive to our questions, and able to negotiate the price that we wanted. We appreciated Matt's professionalism from start to finish.

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.
Overall, Matt, Catherine, and his entire team have an incredible amount of knowledge and have been a pleasure to work with. We definitely recommend Matt and his team to anyone looking to find an apartment! Thank you guys!

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.

Matt and his team are the best in Chicago. I just purchased my first condo and they made the entire process as easy and seamless as they possibly could. The entire team is so quick to respond and happy to help with any questions you may have. Matt in particular is SUPER knowledgable and amazing when it comes to negotiating. I got into a multiple bid situation and he offered the perfect advice to help me win out of seven offers on my condo. I will absolutely use Matt for any of my future real estate needs and I cannot recommend him and his team enough.

Matt and his team helped me purchase my condo. I was so impressed with his teams social presence, integrity and professionalism. It was an obvious choice to have them help me sell when I moved.
Matt and his team helped me through what could have been a difficult sale, living remotely and needing to have some cosmetic work done to sell my condo.
I can’t say enough about how positive the experience of being a client of Matt’s was for me. Matt and his team use a variety of social media presence, network connections and determination to make quick results. Matt helped us find partners to stage and clean the condo as well. Helping us secure a quick close!

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!

I cannot say enough nice things about Matt and his team! He was above and beyond mine and my fiance's expectations. 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! Not only did Matt help us find our perfect home but he also introduced us to the greatest lender and real estate attorney Chicago has to offer! Thank you a million times over, Matt! We are so happy you are so great at your job.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Matt is very knowledgeable on market trends. He's a very straight forward guy, doesn't beat around the bush. You can rely on him to provide you honest feedback at each step of the process. I highly recommend Matt and his team!

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 is our buyer's agent. He has exceeded all our expectations. He not only shows us properties but also sends us articles to help us understand the housing market and trend. He is extremely responsive, efficient and organized. With his help and guidance we successfully selected a house. We would highly recommend him for any real estate services for anyone who is in need of buying or selling a house.

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.

As a first-time homebuyer, Mickey was extremely helpful in walking me through each step in the process. He was also willing to show me a variety of places all over the city, sometimes on short notice, as I narrowed down my choice. He also kept me calm as we overcame uncooperative sellers. Thank you Mickey!

Mickey is FANTASTIC! I could not have had a better experience working with him. Above everything else, he was honest and genuinely cared that I get a place that was a good fit for me (even if it was a less expensive place which likely meant less profit for 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!

Matt Laricy Group is the best real estate team in Chicago. They helped sell my luxury downtown condo in weeks and patiently helped me buy a nice house in the suburb. They worked well together for showings and always have professional attires. They also referred me to many other vendors to help the selling process easier - contractor, mover, inspector, attorney, title company. It is an one stop shop and you have to try them out.

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.
I can't recommend highly enough.

Impressive service, excellent knowledge, and a fun experience. Matt was outstanding.

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 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.

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!

Then find the property that will check all of your criteria boxes. As a first time home buyer I had many questions. Matt and his team were always fast to answer any question or concern. Working with Matt was an absolute pleasure. His breadth of knowledge on the many Chicago buildings made showings a breeze. He was honest with his advice, but always willing to work with what you wanted. I look forward to working with Matt Laricy again in the future.

Matt and his team helped us sell our house for the second time. And all I can say is thank you for all that you do! You and your team are truly exceptional. We worked with Matt and his team on several transactions. Our last transaction was selling our Town home. We told Matt we were relocating and he got his team out to work. within 48 hrs we listed our house, within a week we had an open house and an offer, of course we turned it down. but within a few moths we sold our place and were on our way to the west coast. Matt and his team were on top of everything managing everything for us. I cannot say enough about Matt and his team except you will be in excellent hands!

Had a very good experience with Matt and his team in the sale of our condo and our new condo purchase. They were always very professional, informative, and responsive, often responding within minutes. Their tech is state of the art and presented our condo beautifully. Matt's experience and negotiating skills were very beneficial, despite dealing with some difficult third parties. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt and the Matt Laricy Group.

My experience with the Laricy group, from top to bottom, was nothing short of exceptional. Matt's knowledge of the Chicago area coupled with his connections and tenacity to get me exactly what I wanted is basically the reason why I'm living in my dream condo at this very moment. Even his team was incredible.
His assistant Jamie was available to help me with basically any and every questions or concern I had throughout the buying process. She was integral in making the buying process go smoother than I could have ever expected and took a huge load off my plate.
I can't stress enough how much I would recommend Matt and his team. I tried a few other brokers prior to talking to Matt and they all paled in comparison.

Matt Laricy and his team did a fantastic job on selling my condo. They were able to get lots of responses and showings on my condo. Matt did an awesome job on negotiation and came close to the asking price. He was very professional and thorough with the entire real estate process. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Matt did an outstanding job for me when I was buying my second condo and I will definitely engage him for every future transaction. He responded to all questions/concerns/follow-ups nearly instantaneously (I don’t know when he sleeps!). Matt’s advice and guidance was stellar (he’s a no-nonsense kind of guy). 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). Thanks to Matt, we closed the deal on my dream condo with a reasonable compromise.

Matt helped me buy my first home. He is super professional in many levels. He was very honest and straightforward which helped me a lot in my decision-making process. Very organized and very punctual. I felt like he was really on my side and considered my benefits rather than just trying to sell me a condo. To him professional relationships and networking was far more important than his personal benefits. He's very easy to work with and I highly recommend him to everyone out there looking for a home as he made the process pleasant and very quick.

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!

We worked with Mickey for about 5 months. Initially, we were looking in the city but then needed to look an hour out in the suburbs. The whole time Mickey was responsive around the clock and always willing to do what ever was needed to ensure our needs were met. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. He is courteous, professional, and will always have your best interest in mind.

Buying a house with Mickey Hobson was an extremely enjoyable experience. I had a short timeline and he managed to accommodate his schedule showing me impressive locations in 2-3 days of showings. Always prompt on answering any questions I had, extremely professional and a tough negotiator, you could see he was committed in getting you the right and best deal. From the first 2-3 showings he knew exactly what me and my wife wanted so he was laser focused in getting us the right place. He also helped out in getting inspectors and some contacts to do quick little repairs in the unit since I was new to town. This was my first experience buying a house in the US and quite a remarkable one.

Matt was absolutely wonderful! I moved from out of state and found Matt based on his online reviews. Being from out of state, I didn't know too much about Chicago real estate. Matt was extremely knowledgable and helpful throughout the whole process. He really knows the city and all the different buildings like the back of his hand. With the Chicago market being so hot, Matt was extremely knowledgeable in the best ways to win a multiple bid. I strongly believe that if I had a different realtor, I would not have gotten the condo that I fell in love with. Matt is an extremely honest and helpful realtor with a great team. I would highly recommend Matt!

When you are choosing a realtor from 2200 miles away, all you can rely on are online reviews. I researched over a dozen realtors and choose Matt. From the time that we met him through our closing, I can only say that all the great reviews are very well founded. Matt was the most responsive realtor we have ever used. If we sent him an email, we would receive a response immediately. He and his staff are on top of every little detail. Having never lived in Chicago, his local knowledge regarding different areas and buildings was extremely helpful in our selection process. I would recommend Matt to anyone who wants a reliable, honest and professional realtor who is there for you every step of the way.

Matt is wonderful. We came from out of state and he helped us find a condo in River North. We moved in 2 weeks ago and are loving it so far. The whole process took about 3 months. What I particularly liked about Matt is that he had good connections with other realtors and he is dynamic in terms of getting us appointments on short notice (although it's better to plan ahead!). We saw about 30-40 different condos. He is also very knowledgeable and honest about which buildings/areas are better than others. He's not pushy and is very responsive. Genuine good guy.

Nothing but great things to say about Matt and his team! He is a true professional and was just as responsive as he promised he would be throughout the entire process. My husband happened to catch one of the showings where one of Matts team members was showing the place; he showed up in a suit and tie (just as Matt had said he would) looking ten times more professional than the other agent who showed up in cargo shorts. We were incredibly impressed with the team and will continue to recommend them to all of our friends.

This was our first time buying a house and Matt was there to answer any question. Even if I emailed him late at night or early morning, I got a response within an hour. His entire team was on top of things, regularly providing updates and making sure all parties involved were updated as to what was happening. Matt gave blunt opinions about places we were not sure of, never rushed us and was always there to answer any question. Matt, Mickey and Amy were super quick in scheduling a showing of a place. As we finalized a place and were getting ready for the close, Amy made sure everything is communicated to us in a timely fashion and was very well organized. I highly recommend Matt, he knows the Chicago market in and out!

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+.

His associates are also polite and worked diligently to get me in to see the properties I was interested in. I never had a problem getting in touch with either Matt or his staff.

My husband and I are first time home buyers moving to the Chicago area from out-of-state. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Matt. He was extremely easy to communicate with leading up to our first trip out to Chicago and made it easy for us to narrow down our options to a reasonable list of places to see in the limited time we had available. 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
