Brittney Boyd recommends Jenifer Olson

Thank you so much to Jennifer Olson for being the Relator in the recent purchase of our new home. She was an incredible realtor the whole way through. The process for us was not easy given the hardship of the housing market but that did not stop Jennifer from doing her job and finding us our forever home. We could not be more happy with her professionalism, integrity and genuine caring when it came to finding our family of 6 a home we could grow and flourish in. Her attentiveness to helping us find what we were looking for did not make us easy clients but she took on the task with grace and ease and worked around both our work schedules for showings as well as checked in daily sometimes several times to make sure she was meeting us where we needed to be. I could not be more happier with our choice in choosing Jennifer and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a place to call home.

David Grum recommends Zach Criswell

Top three things I absolutely despise doing.
1) Shopping for a car
2) Shopping for furniture
3) Shopping for a house
All three of those tasks are not because of the end result, but rather having to work with pushy, disrespectful sales people. Working with Zach is exactly opposite of what I dread. Zach is the utmost respectful, caring, flexible, and professional real estate agent that we have ever worked with. His extensive knowledge in the industry, knowing all the ins and outs about the northern Illinois region, as well as his network base should not be taken for granted as these are keys that he uses to obtain the best deal possible for his clients. The leadership attributes that he brings to his team only made my family feel more comfortable working with NextHome Oak Street Realty.

Zach not only found our family our forever house in an amazing location, but also sold our home in less than 48 hours over asking, with multiple offers. We can't recommend Zach and his team enough to anyone looking to buy and/or sell.

Thanks again to Zach and the team, for all of the hard work making this possible!

Without Zach this would have been a long process. Zach made the selling process so smooth for my wife and I. He goes above and beyond to answer all questions and was prompt at everything he did. If you are buying or selling Zach is your guy. Highly recommend.

David Merrill recommends Christian Kopp

Christian takes a very personal approach to helping buy or sell homes. Our process wasn't easy (unrelated to Chiristian's efforts) but his thoroughness and communication helped us stay positive. His way of communicating is genuine and that was important to our family as he helped us reach our goal.

Caitlin Donato recommends Jimmy Potempa

Jimmy helped us find our home to raise our family in. He was patient with us and listened to us as we searched for homes in a new town. He provided useful recommendations for where to look and made sure we saw places as soon as possible. We appreciate Jimmy for helping us find our home.

Nitin Rao recommends Christian Kopp

Community Engagement Officer

Christian was fantastic to work with. He provided great insight to us throughout the home buying process. He was helpful in identifying prospective properties, discussing the strengths/weaknesses, analyzing price point, and negotiating with the seller's agent on our final buy. He was patient with us throughout the process explaining the next steps, and we never felt pressured to buy. One unique attribute Christian brings to the table is his knowledge of maintenance of homes. We felt like we bought a great place, and that was in part due to Christian's extensive knowledge of home care and maintenance. If we ever sell this place, we will definitely use Christian again.

Zach was amazing in every facet of the process. He was professional, responsive and was always available when needed. He sold our house quicker than we imagined for over what we thought we could get!! He followed through even past closing checking in on how everything is going since the sale! I would recommend Zach to everyone that I know!

PAULETTE ANDREWS recommends Zach Criswell

Zach is the best! He was thorough and professional and great to work with! He kept us apprised about available appointments and always let us know as soon as a new home came on the market. Zach was extremely honest, forthright, and communicative and easy to reach to answer any questions at all times. We were impressed with his knowledge and friendly manner. We found his support through the closing invaluable as he executed a quick closing for us. We highly recommend him!

Zach helped us sell our house at a good price and very quickly as well. It was a trouble free experience for something that could potentially be very stressful. We would recommend him to anyone looking to sell their house. Highly recommended!

Christian makes the house buying experience easier. He makes every step of buying a house seem easy. Without hesitation I would recommend Christian to family, friends, or fellow colleagues!

Anthea Fuentes recommends Christian Kopp

I cannot recommend Christian enough!! He is not only incredibly knowledgeable in the real estate field but treats his clients like family. He truly cares about the individual client and is there to help them find exactly what they are searching for - he isn’t there to “make the sale”. His genuineness is apparent in the very first interaction. He helped me and my fiancé find our forever home and we could not be more grateful. He navigated all of our questions and emotions with ease, and was always super responsive. He made the normally super stressful process seamless and enjoyable. I have and will continue to recommend Christian to everyone I know.

Mina Lurvey recommends Christian Kopp

Branch Manager

Amazing experience! Christian is incredibly knowledgeable from both a transaction perspective and inspection. He knows a lot about quality work in a house, what fixes need to be made, what are the red flags and what is easily repairable and how to repair. Communication is so key in todays market and he is the type of person wants to get stuff done asap, but not due to wanting to close a deal, it’s because he knows that you have to move incredibly quickly in this market and he does just that. You’re more than just a ‘customer’ when working with him. If you have the pleasure of working with him you won’t be disappointed!

Oma Gonzalez recommends Christian Kopp

Senior AP Specialist

Christian was so helpful in finding our dream home! As a first time homeowner, Christian walked us through the process of searching and purchasing with ease. His communication was timely and effective, all while remaining both enthusiastic and friendly from beginning to end. My family and I couldn't of asked for a better realtor!

Pat Lane recommends Zach Criswell

Whether your searching for your first home or your “forever” home, you can rest assured that Zach is your “forever” Realtor. Zach goes above and beyond. His friendly demeanor, can do attitude, knowledge of the market and work ethic makes him among the best Realtors in the Chicago Suburbs. He really does care about his client’s happiness. After all, purchasing a home isn’t just another transaction. Purchasing a home is a life shaping experience you want to get right from the start. The guidance Zach provides home seekers with gives them confidence they made the correct life decision when purchasing a new home. My wife and I have been clients of Zach’s twice. I can’t imagine buying or selling a new home with anyone else.

My experience with Cody was exceptional! He exceeded all of my expectations. The most professional, competent, organized, dependable, knowledgeable real estate agent I have worked with.

I cannot say enough about the professional manner in which Zach Criswell does his job. From the very beginning he is several steps ahead of the game anticipating and troubleshooting any and all potential issues. You never have to call Zach with a question. He lets you know what to expect next and what will predict the next step. If you want to feel like you have the best man working for your best deal possible, call Zach Criswell!

Scott Fischer recommends Zach Criswell

The selling process with Zach from start to finish was seamless and couldn’t have been more professional. His knowledge of the market and listing price advice was spot on, and within 24 hours of listing we had numerous offers over asking price. The photos of our home with the additional aerial drone photos certainly showcased and represented our home so that it looked its best!

Bridget Anders recommends Zach Criswell

As first time homebuyers, Zach made a difficult and confusing process so much easier to understand. Not only did he make sure we were able to check all of our boxes and stay in budget, but also effectively guided us throughout the whole process and helped us find our first home quickly! He was also super fun to work with as well. We truly knew that he had our backs the whole way.

Justin Koerner recommends Zach Criswell

Zach was excellent. We absolutely loved working with him. He was always professional and always made time for us. One thing we especially appreciated was the open line of communication. He was always accessible. He was able to find us exactly what we wanted in an uncertain time (Covid). He will always be our realtor! We would highly recommend him to anyone!
