“I had a very good experience purchasing a home with the help of The Forward Group! Cory and Ubaldo provided excellent customer service and explained the process in a way that made it feel very approachable. My family was relocating from Texas, so they were very mindful of our time constraints and arranged showing schedules that very efficiently allowed us to see all of the houses we were interested in. Once we entered the contract stage, they promptly provided updates to ensure we were aware of the current status and explained all deliverables that were required and helped us have a smooth closing. I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed working with them and would gladly work with them again!”

“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!”
