As a first time buyer very green to the market, I couldn't have asked for a better broker or experience than I received working with Nathan. He made the intimidating and scary navigation of the Chicago real estate market so easy to understand through his approach and taking the time to explain the details in a way that anyone would understand. It was amazing to see how knowledgeable he was about not only the marketplace, but each neighborhood, building, and unit we looked at. Nate never ceased to amaze me with how much research he did/knowledge he possessed with every unit we went to see. He was able to answer each question, even those very particular ones about the unit that the listing broker often didn't know or had to look up, showing he really put in the work to understand the property prior to going to the showing. He really takes the time to educate his clients, holding an informational meeting session right off the bat to help you better understand all the experience to come when buying in Chicago. I had a very particular aesthetic I was looking for and requirements in a condo and Nathan showed an unwavering patience, taking the time to personally show units at the drop of a hat, responding within minutes to each request. Early in my search, I found a place I really liked and we wrote an offer that the seller accepted. While still under the Attorney Review, we found out some not so good information about the health of the building and Nathan was beyond supportive, providing sound advice as to what he would do in the situation and helped me understand the cost/benefit if I wanted to move forward. I ultimately decided that it wasn't a good choice given the many unknowns and risks I would be assuming with future special assessments so we ended the A/I period and I continued my search. After finding the condo that I ultimately ended up buying, Nathan showcased an incredible amount of knowledge regarding the different options to writing a really competitive offer that ended up beating 4 other offers to win me the condo. I have no doubt that his strategy in writing our offer is what made us win in the end. I've been exposed to other brokers on the listing side during my search and it is clear Nathan really is the best in the business. No one I've met come close to Nathan's professionalism, dedication to his clients, and vast amount of knowledge he possesses about the Chicago marketplace & real estate industry. Nathan bent over backwards to make my experience as easy and seamless as possible and I have no doubt he does the same for all of his clients. He has an undeniable passion for the industry and an uncanny ability to educate his clients to make a very complex industry seem so simple. Beyond his vast amount of knowledge in real estate and the Chicago market, he has a down to earth personality and amazing style (I mean, top 3 best dressed brokers in Chicago!) that you don't find in other brokers. While I'm elated to have finally find my dream home, a part of me is sad for the experience to be over knowing I won't get to continue working with Nate on a daily basis. He is really the best of the best and I'm sad there aren't more than 5 stars to rate him on, as he truly deserves it!
