Sarah's Reviews

I worked with the Sarah Leonard Team for the purchase of a condo in Chicago. I had a great experience from start to finish, with assistance in my search, the whole contract process and negotiation, from the inspection through closing! I would highly recommend Sarah and her team if you are thinking of buying or selling your home!

Sarah and her team are absolutely outstanding and it's easy to see why they've won so many prestigious awards. Sarah kept me calm and collected throughout my VERY long process of buying a short sale and did whatever she could to keep things moving smoothly. Despite her extensive client load, Sarah always made me feel like I was the only person she was working with--I don't think I ever had to wait longer than a half hour for her to call/e-mail/text me back and I never felt rushed or pressured. And if something went awry, she IMMEDIATELY fixed it. Her knowledge of the short sale process definitely kept me from (completely) losing my sanity and I can't imagine going through this process with anyone else. I'll definitely be using her again if I ever decide to move.

Sarah and her team were so helpful in the sale of my townhouse in Schaumburg. She came over, explained the whole process to me, answered my questions, went through the paperwork and got me listed! The photographs were beautiful and I had offers on my home after being listed for a little over 2 weeks. Thank you so much for making this process easy! I would recommend Sarah and her team without hesitation to anyone.
