Real Estate Collective was very patient with us as first time sellers. They upped our game by staging the space (I even stole one of their ideas for our new place). We were first time sellers with a deadline and they made it as smooth as possible. HIGHLY recommend.

I worked with Real Estate Collective to both purchase and sell my condo. They are very dedicated in helping you find the right home as well as helping you find the best solution for selling many years later. They are very professional while also being a joy to work with. I always felt like they had my best interests in mind and I wasn't just another client. Their knowledge of the market and how to navigate it was a huge relief for me!

Real Estate Collective sold the unsellable condo. We tried to sell it twice before with different Realtors, and finally hit pay dirt with Real Estate Collective.

I worked with them to sell my Chicago downtown home this year.

It was an amazing experience!

They are experts in this area and provided me with a lot of help, guidance and market insight while I got my home ready to sell and it took less than two months from listing to closing. They are professional, detail oriented and they have excellent communication skills. Such a pleasure to work with!
