we worked with michael to list and sell our condo, and to identify and purchase a house. he is positively delightful to work with - very thorough, informed about many areas of chicagoland, an excellent negotiator, compassionate, and fun to spend time with. we were able to sell our condo fairly quickly, at listing price; and we were able to find a wonderful house and negotiate a very fair price. we can't recommend michael highly enough - we've told everyone we know that they should work with him if given the chance.
