What Our Clients Say
Discover stories of success and satisfaction
"I would highly recommend working with Colleen. She took care of us every step of the way and was always available night or day for questions and conce… rns. She talked us off the ledge, a couple of times and assured us that everything was going to be ok. Her connections in the industry and her many years of experience really show her true passion for this industry. My Family would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us with the purchase of our first home."
"My husband and I started looking for homes 3 years ago but only really wanted to live in certain school districts with Lemont being our #1 choice. We … needed a fast, smart motivated realtor. After a few showings we were having difficulty finding a realtor fast enough to get us a house in the neighborhood we wanted in our price range. A friend recommended Katie Kelly to us. We had our first showing with her and she was positive, smart and most important for us FAST. Sure enough, Katie found us our dream home in Lemont. I noticed on Facebook groups people were discussing how they wanted to go for a showing at our home but their realtor couldn’t get them in yet. At that point we already had an offer in thanks to Katie. If it wasn’t for her we would not have our dream home. Katie worked extremely hard to get us closed before 30 days. Katie was out for our best interest and extremely caring- we have 3 children 3 and under and we were in a rush to get settled. She’s not only the best realtor but a genuine wonderful person. I can promise you will not find a better realtor period."
"Colleen Basinski recently helped to sell my childhood home, and her professionalism, market expertise, and compassion made a very emotional process so… much easier. Thanks to her knowledge of the market and marketing strategy, received multiple offers in a short amount of time.
This is not the first time I have worked with Colleen. I have worked with her through every major real estate step—buying my first home, selling it, and purchasing my current one. Each time, she’s been responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive. I'm so thankful for the handwork she has done and can’t recommend her highly enough!"
"Colleen and Bart are a phenomenal team. They put the best interest of their customers first every step of the way. They accommodate and work around al… l kinds of hectic schedules to show properties for either the buyer/seller. You can’t put a price on the experience and knowledge they bring to the table for their customer. Would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell."
"Professional Organized Did what they promised would highly recommend"
"The service provided to me exceeded expectations. There was amazing communication, dedication, and help all around. I highly recommend these guys. Top… tier for sure."
"Colleen and her team were nothing short of spectacular. She listened carefully to my needs and did not dismiss any of them. Rather, she genuinely re… sponded and worked to meet them. Selling a parent's house ( and my former childhood home) was one of the more difficult things I have done in my adult life. Colleen made it very manageable and got it done quickly, efficiently, and with awesome communication."
"Colleen & Kim are the absolute BEST!!! They were so easy to talk to, they answered our questions, addressed our concerns, put our minds at ease in a w… arm and professional manner. Bart and everyone else involved were so helpful !!! They helped us find our forever home and we could not be happier!!! We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home!!! We had an EXCELLENT experience!!!"
"Ubaldo was so helpful and went above and beyond! Highly recommend."
