Tamara O'Connor and her team are true professionals, very knowledgeable and efficient. They made selling my condo stress free. I was so impressed throughout the entire process. Excellent marketing, photos and a beautiful color brochure made for a fast sale. Tamara is a top notch negotiator !! She made our sale happen. Would absolutely recommend.

Tamara and the team at Premier Living just sold our home for us last month. Honestly, this was the most professional and cared for process that we have had dealing with a Real Estate team in over 25 years! We truly felt like we were in the best hands available!
Thier attention to detail not only with the listing but also with us as their customer was impeccable! Specifically, their communication was consistent, timely and informative. As well, thier follow up and committment to relationship with us as thier client made us feel comfortable knowing that they truly cared about what was best for us!
We would recommend Tamara and team to anyone!

For most people, selling a home can be anxiety ridden. When we decided to move from Algonquin to Iowa this fall we had no hesitation listing with Tamara and her organization. She priced our home so well that even with several other units for sale in our community we had multiple offers within two days. She helped us choose the best offer. Through out this process she took out much of the anxiety as a result of her experience and skill in negotiating with all parties from start to closing. She earned every penny of her commission. From our perspective, she is the best of the best in the Northwest suburbs. Her team were real professionals. We would have no hesitation referring her to others.
