My journey to find our first family home started one year and a half ago, knowing very little about the housing market in the USA but that we were late to get our first home. My husband and I are first-time immigrants in our early 40s. I had started looking for houses until I saw one available in my neighborhood and decided to book an appointment. I can´t believe how lucky I was that day. The person who showed me the house was Terrence Doby. He spent two hours with us, answering my million questions. I felt glad and thankful for his attentive listening, honesty, and generosity in sharing his time and knowledge. We finally bought our first house on February 6, and it was Terrence who, during all this time, was always there for us.

My journey to find our first family home started one year and a half ago, knowing very little about the housing market in the USA but that we were late to get our first home. My husband and I are first-time immigrants in our early 40s. I had started looking for houses until I saw one available in my neighborhood and decided to book an appointment. I can´t believe how lucky I was that day. The person who showed me the house was Terrence Doby. He spent two hours with us, answering my million questions. I felt glad and thankful for his attentive listening, honesty, and generosity in sharing his time and knowledge. We finally bought our first house on February 6, and it was Terrence who, during all this time, was always there for us. He got the appointments to show me the houses I wanted, guided me in analyzing all the house details, presented the offers, and always answered my questions, calls, and text messages. He never pushed me or insisted on closing any business; he was only there to guide me when I requested guidance and to help me when I asked for help. I was always surprised by how easily he understood what we were looking for and what was essential to us. The experience of working with him was unbeatable. Today we consider him a friend who made our dreams of homeownership come true and recommended us the best team at every step of the process to ensure that we did a good deal, had the best mortgage possible, and were well-protected during the closing. Thanks you Terrence for making experience easy, manageable, and fantastic.
Allie Payne is a terrific realtor! She knows the market and makes excellent suggestions about prepping a home for sale. She got us top dollar for our Evanston house and then helped us buy our dream condo. She's connected to really terrific landscapers, painters, and contractors. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.
Allie did an excellent job of presenting my property, dealing with the buyers and following thru on the sale.
I worked with Allie to purchase a rental property in Evanston. She was very easy to work with, responsive to all of my questions and made the overall process run smoothly.
