"Holly and Michael have helped me buy two homes in the last 8 years with great success as well as helped me rent my condo twice to great renters! I have also referred my friends to them because they are extremely helpful, fast, and were able to get exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend them for buying, selling or renting.Kathy A., Big Oaks"

"I come from a family of 7 children. Our brother who lives in Peterson Woods had passed away this spring. When it was time to sell his home, we not only needed someone from the area who would help us to come up with the best price for his home, but we also needed a team who would help us through this sensitive process. When you are dealing with an Estate you are dealing with a lot of emotions. We had those emotions times 7 (with our mom). Michael and Holly were very professional on giving us a very thorough Market Analysis. Which made it very clear and easy coming up with the right price. They also helped us stage his home. So that it still showed well while we were sorting through personal things. Their Marketing strategy was very hands on and high end. They were always there for showings in order to answer any questions the buyers might have. They know that area! They also helped us with scheduling and meeting vendors for appointments. Which really helped us out since none of us were from the immediate area. My siblings loved getting immediate feedback after each showing. That was very important to them. His home sold in just a few weeks at a great price. We couldn't have picked a better team.Tracy B., Peterson Park"

"I have worked with Holly Bergren for over 7 years during which I made two purchases and one sell. I have referred her enthusiastically to everyone I know. She has helped at least a half dozen of my friends and colleagues find their dream homes. I met Holly when I was moving to Chicago from Atlanta. I interviewed at least 6 real estate agents. I chose Holly because she was straight forward, no non-nonsense, and demonstrated a willingness to acquire and provide complete disclosure about the properties we were viewing. I obviously knew nothing about Chicago when I bought my first home with Holly. She was wonderful about getting a true feel for the vision that I had of "home." She has a very good intuition and right away she gets a feel for her client's style, and the type of home and neighborhood they are looking for. She showed me every neighborhood, walked me through the pros and cons of each, and she never showed me a property that wasn't a good fit. She never wasted my time. I believe Holly's most valuable and RARE skill is her intuition and ability to really listen and carefully select properties that fit her clients’ needs and desires. I have bought homes before with agents that really never "got it." They just showed me everything - including awful places that didn't fit my personality or life style at all. This quality of being able to "hone in" on her client's vision significantly reduces the frustration and exhaustion of finding a home and keeps it fun. Holly was also an expert at negotiating on my behalf and protecting my interests. She asked all of the questions that I never thought of asking, and she educated me about the process. Also, as stated before, she was always willing to tactfully ask the hard questions. She also has the ability to maintain civility with the opposing real estate agents and attorneys during the negotiation process and keep the process smooth and civil. All in all, this is a wonderful team. They have helped at least six of my friends and professional colleagues make the transition into Chicago from out of state. All of them found the right neighborhood, and found their dream home. I have bought two homes with Holly and if I ever buy (or sell) another one, this Team is the first one I will call!Heather S., Edgewater"

"I have sold two condos with Holly's assistance, and bought two. She was extremely helpful in setting appropriate sale prices when I sold and in negotiating great purchase prices when I bought. When selling, she gave good advice for how to present my condo, and she worked well with my pets, who were always in the home when it was shown. When purchasing, she gave me great advice about those things that seemed too good to be true and those that weren't good enough. I feel very confident that I've made great purchases with Holly's guidance. Over the years, I have referred at least 5 friends and co-workers to her, all of whom bought homes with her assistance. The next time I sell/buy, I'm definitely getting in touch with Holly!Jennifer R. – Rogers Park"
