I moved to Chicago from Washington, DC in August of 2007. My search for a home began on the internet, where I found Dream Town's user-friendly website, and my agent, Marcia Badillo. I e-mailed Marcia and warned her that my price range was under $250K -- I'm a teacher -- and that I didn't want even to look at anything I couldn't afford. My timeframe was also very tight -- I could only come to Chicago for one day to look for a new place to live. None of this seems to bother Marcia or deter her from giving me outstanding service. She treated me as if I were a million-dollar client, not someone who could barely afford to buy in this market. I arrived early in the morning on a Monday in May, she showed me the 14 properties we had singled out on the web in advance, and by 11:45am we were in a coffee shop in Rogers Park making an offer and writing a check for earnest money. She was patient, supportive, and worked within my parameters and brought all her skills and knowledge to the table. She referred me to an exceptional attorney who handled all my affairs, even from long distance. When my condo in DC didn't close on time due to a deed-filing error (not under my control), she stuck by me and communicated with the attorney and the seller's agent on a daily basis until we finally closed a month later. I couldn't imagine a more positive experience than working with Marcia.
