I feel that there isn't enough positive feedback in the world, so I wanted to reach out to tell you what a pleasure it was to recently work with Mason Barnes to purchase our new condo. While I am not an aggressive client, I'm certainly not low-maintenance. As soon as we got the mortgage approval, I was hoping to move quickly to get into a new place. However, we felt like we needed to thoroughly vet all possibilities with so many great values on the market. Though we could sense what we wanted, it wasn't very specific to one type of property or neighborhood, so I thought it would be difficult to convey our wants to Mason. It wasn't difficult at all. Not only did Mason set us up to see about thirty or more properties (at my request), but he was also immeasurably helpful in showing us the difference in quality and value between each property. By the second week, we had a clear front-runner, but we still needed the reassurance that there wasn't "something better" sitting on the market. This created some anxiety, as we wanted to see as many properties as possible while hoping that our top choice would not go under contract. Mason took a lot of time out of his schedule to take us to see properties after work, as well as full days on the weekend, so that we could see as many on our list in as short time as possible. Everything managed to work out perfectly, and we ended up buying the front-runner from our second week of viewing properties. I can't imagine the regret I would have if we missed this condo. This is my second property purchase in Chicago. For my first go-around, I used a realtor at Coldwell Banker that was randomly assigned to me through an inquiry that I made to the website. Through that process, I thought my realtor did a pretty good job. He sent me MLS listings, setup a few appointments, and walked me through my first real estate purchase. However, I never felt 100% sure that I was making the right decision. After working with Mason, I realize that I didn't have a very good realtor for my first purchase. He exceeded any expectations I had of what a realtor can do for me. It felt like Mason cared about our purchase as much as we did. Whether it was the small details of pointing out a street light that would be endlessly glaring from a potential front window, recommending amazing inspectors and mortgage lenders, or negotiating the purchase price that I passionately wanted, he did it all. He changed my perception of realtors in general, and I would highly recommend Dreamtown to any of my friends or family. We have been living in our new home for over a month, and I still get excited to come home every day. As cliche as it sounds, he found us the perfect home. Thank you for employing people who take such great care of their clients. We couldn't be happier. Scott Weiss, Lincoln Square
