Today we sold our house and I wanted to thank Arlyn Tratt for his hard work.
I would highly recommend Arlyn as a realtor for many reasons. He was very attentive to our needs as the sellers. He always listened carefully and worked with us on every aspect of the selling process. He had a positive and genuinely friendly attitude throughout the process. He was very quick and responsive to every text, e-mail or a phone call from us. He personally showed up to every single showing. Arlyn had a certain charisma and a super nice personality with a great sense of humor that definitely helped selling our house. I feel grateful and happy that we chose Arlyn as our realtor. We sold our house successfully and we are super satisfied with the selling price.
I highly recommend Arlyn as a realtor and I will definitely ask him to represent myself in the future if I buy or sell real estate.

It was a pleasure to use Arlyn for the sale of my mother's house. It was an emotional experience for my sisters and myself, but Arlyn's calm and supportive nature was very helpful. He was by our side every step of the way and his knowledge of the marketplace was stellar. My family would highly recommend Arlyn!

Arlyn is a one of a kind individual. He is easy to work with, adaptable, willing to take a risk on looking at properties and is always there to lend an honest opinion. He is great at supporting you while looking for homes, discussing the positive aspects of each property but also pointing out possible down sides that we starry eyed home shoppers sometimes overlook!

Great professional to work with and went above and beyond with all aspects of the home shopping and then buying process!

Thank you Arlyn!!

Our experience with Arlyn was—by far—the best experience we have ever had with a realtor. More than that, it was one of the best service experiences we have had in any capacity.

Arlyn helped us sell our house for a great price while we were out of the country and 100% absent. It would simply not have been possible to do this transaction with someone less involved than him. He drove the process every step of the way.

We are exceedingly grateful to him and give him our highest possible recommendation.

Arlyn was great to work with, he is very knowledgeable about the home buying process. As first time buyers me and my Significant other had plenty of questions and Arlyn was able to answer them quickly which made us far more comfortable.

Arlyn is great! He leverages modern technology to help buy and sell, but he maintains the "old school" communication...he picks up the phone and calls you!

We've used Arlyn to successfully buy and sell 4 properties in the last few years. We keep coming back!! With all of the sales, I never felt alone. I always knew Arlyn was ready to listen.

I highly recommend Arlyn Tratt for any home buying/selling needs, whether it's the first time or the 10th time.

Arlyn helped me find my dream house and supported me through the process with kid gloves! He was extremely professional throughout the process, answering questions even before I could think of them. He was always available, no matter when I reached out, he answered me quickly and ensured that all of my questions were answered. His knowledge of the market and everything that goes into buying a house is stellar. He also has an extensive network of additional resources that help cover everything I needed to make my move as seamless as possible. I highly recommend Arlyn Tratt!

We worked with Arlyn on three transactions, selling our rental property, selling our primary residence and purchasing our new home. With Arlyn’s help we accomplished all three in 8 months. He was amazing to work with for so many reasons, but the top three being his knowledge, his responsiveness, and his patience. Arlyn’s knowledge of the housing industry and all the related topics (mortgages, taxes, construction, etc.) was so helpful when dealing with some of the questions and challenges that came up. I had so many questions and concerns throughout, plus I was overwhelmed and stressed with the decisions and changes that our family was experiencing. Arlyn’s calm and patient demeanor helped me tremendously. He checked in regularly and was so responsive by phone, text, and email. I often joked that I believed we were his only client! That’s how it felt working with Arlyn, that he was completely focused on our family at all times. I would highly recommend Arlyn to any of my closest friends and family!

Arlyn represented us when we sold our house and we recommend him 100%. He says what he will do, and then he does it, which is all too rare and valuable. He understands the market extremely well, and gave us very accurate advice about how to price our house and how to get it ready for sale. His photography for Zillow and virtual staging are exceptional -- we believe that helped us get about 15 showings and multiple offers in the first week of the listing. Last but not least, Arlyn gave us options and worked with us in carrying out our goal of wanting to sell the house quickly. He did a lot of legwork and gave us a lot of detailed attention. Arlyn is a true professional and a very nice guy. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Arlyn Tratt was not just our Real Estate agent but turned into a good friend. Some agents can be pushy, or just want a quick sale and often never listen to you. The more we talked the more he listened and helped us to maximize our potential in both selling and buying. The best part is he cares and always is easy to work with,and now we have a new friend! Thanks Arlen for helping us to achieve our dreams!

Arlyn is top notch real estate professional! He helped sell our home in Morton Grove quickly and for more than we were expecting. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and super responsive through the entire process. I'm definitely going to recommend him to my friends and family and look forward to working with him again.

Thanks for everything Arlyn!

Arlyn was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and responsive as our listing agent. From the minute we met him, my husband and I were comfortable with how he approached things. He didn't push us into any decisions, yet gave us strong recommendations when appropriate. I needed to talk things through thoroughly, asked a lot of questions, and was overwhelmed and stressed about the process when it began. Arlyn was patient and calm, which made the process much better than I imagined. His professionalism, expertise and excellent interpersonal skills all contribute to make him a wonderful representative for anyone attempting to purchase or sell a home.

Arlyn made a difficult task much easier when it came to selling my mother’s house. His knowledge of the latest localized buying trends helped set the right price for the house. He was very proactive in getting the property out there and feeling out interest, and as a result, it sold before even hitting the market officially. He was supportive and helpful with all kinds of resources for help getting everything cleared out, making minor repairs, and securing snow shoveling when I was going to be on the other side of the country. Arlyn was very easy to work with and made a difficult situation (clearing out and selling a loved one’s home) much more bearable and feel like a success. I would work with Arlyn again in a heartbeat.

Arlyn was incredibly helpful from start to finish. He answered any question I had, brought new information to my attention as soon as possible, and helped make me feel like I had all of the information at my disposal to make a decision without ever feeling pressured one way or another. I'd highly recommend working with Arlyn for anyone looking for a new home!

Besides being a great realtor, Arlyn is just a really nice guy and a true pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable, very good at guiding you through the home buying process and helped us stay calm through a stressful process. We are thrilled with our new home! We have used Arlyn multiple times now and he will always be our go to guy for real estate. Thanks again Arlyn!

Working with Arlyn Tratt as our realtor has been a wonderful experience. A few years ago when my mother passed, Arlyn helped us sell her townhome. By going above and beyond, he found out some repairs we had to do to our windows were actually covered by the manufacturer. The townhouse association WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS and Arlyn saved us thousands of dollars. So when it was time to sell our condo in Lincoln Park, we knew who to call.

Once again Arlyn was on top of his game! We almost ran into some problems with the buyer. Arlyn remembered a special need they mentioned when they saw the property and PROACTIVELY took care of it. So when the buyer's attorney reached out at the last minute to raise a concern about where the new owners would store their bicycles, Arlyn said, "We knew it was going to be a potential issue so we already worked it out with the building...they have a special storage closet for you that's perfect for your needs." And they loved it! So instead of a problem, Arlyn turned it into an opportunity to impress the buyer.

We completely recommend Arlyn and NextHome Elite without reservation. Can't wait to work with Arlyn again in the future!!

Working with Arlyn was the best decision we made for selling our Lincoln Park condo. From the beginning to the closing he was always available and gave us detailed explanations each step of the way. I would definitely recommend his services.
