      - J. D.
    • I was recommended to Danielle through a friend of a friend and I couldn't have been luckier. I worked with her on my first home purchase and she was fantastic. I started off saying I wanted one thing in a home and through the process realized I wanted the exact opposite. She was patient through all of my indecissiveness and helped guide me to realize what I truly needed. Danielle is very friendly and easy to talk to. This is great because you spend so much time together driving to the properties. Once I found the place I wanted to put an offer on she was just as helpful. She worked well with my attorney (who is not the easiest to get along with) and answered every call, email and question quickly and expertly. I would work with Danielle again in an instant.

      - L. E.
    • My roommate and I did work with Danielle a few months back. I have met many realtors in my career and in my line of work. She is honest, upfront, and listens to find what fits your needs. She does not waste time on responding to any questions and made the process run smooth for us. Danielle really understood what I was looking for which in return showed me that she respected my time. So all in all, she does good work and not to forget a cool person to go through the process with.

      - R. M.
    • Danielle is very flexible and was really able to tailor the showings to the our specific needs. She knows each of the neighborhoods that we looked at from multiple angles, from commutes, to restaurants and bars, down to the dry cleaners. Danielle is very professional but made me feel at ease with the entire process. I would highly recommend working with Danielle.

      - J. W.
    • Danielle Dowell was my Realtor who helped me lease out my condo in Lincoln Park. Danielle worked tirelessly on my unit and ended finding a tenant who signed a 2 year lease. I was impressed with her knowledge of the market, the neighborhood and her overall professionalism. I would recommend Danielle to anyone in the city looking to lease or sell their home.

      - A. B.
    • Danielle showed me the property twice, both times on relatively short notice. She was very communicative during the entire negotiation process and was a tremendous resource along the way for a first time home buyer. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use her again as a buyer's agent.

      - N. H.
    • Danielle is a sales professional who knows her business. She is dependable, reliable and great to work with. I will continue to work with Danielle and will recommend her. She found a tenant for my 4 bedroom home.

      - B. C.
    • I was referred to Danielle by a friend and was very happy! She was proactive in looking for the listings within my price range and kept to my wish list. I appreciate her not showing me places outside of my comfort zone in terms of pricing. She kept the listings in the neighborhoods I wanted to look at.I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

      - R. M.
    • We have been working with Danielle to find our first home for a little over a month now. She is very knowledgeable of the Chicago area and very responsive and understanding of our requirements. She has helped us identify area's where were weren't originally looking and also pointed out things to look for in a new home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor.

      - B. T.
    • Danielle helped us sell our condo. 5 weeks after we listed, we closed the deal. I talked to her about selling my unit about 6 month before the listing. She came with number she thought will sell fast but we both felt it was on the low side. We agreed to wait 'cuz the market is getting better. Later this year, she felt the time is right and we agreed on a price. Offers came and we counter them. She seems to read my mind. As I hesitated, she would suggest something which was exactly what I was thinking. It's great to work with someone that is thinking the way I was. She made my first selling a property a pleasant experience. She is very knowledgeable on what the real estate market is in Chicago. I highly recommend Danielle for purchase or selling your dream.

    • Danielle and Karen were able to see a higher value in our place than other agents in the area, and they put together a plan to market it as such including some great staging. We got 5 offers in the first weekend, and sold above the asking price.

      - W. P.
    • I am so happy with my new condo, and I have to thank Danielle for helping me find the perfect place. We started with a very broad search and very limited time frame, but thanks to her expertise in the market, perseverance, and intuition, we honed in on an area and features quickly and found the right place in under a month. I couldn't express and didn't know exactly what I wanted at first, so she showed me a variety and started to get a feel for what I did want. I think we saw at least 3 units on the first day they were available. She definitely has a special intuition about what you want and like that a good agent needs. And when it was time to offer, she provided good insight on what the condo was worth and how much it would take to get the place. On top of that, she was personally excited when I was excited and encouraging when necessary. If youre in the market for real estate, you have to talk to Danielle.

      - H. P.
    • I would definitely recommend Danielle Dowell for any of your Real Estate needs. She is so professional, personable and prompt. She knew exactly what we were looking for and we always knew she was working hard for us during our home search. she was our advocate, and always gave us great advice. One of the most important traits you need to look for in your realtor is trust -- not only do we trust Danielle, but she exemplifies all the must haves when it comes to a realtor. We recommend Danielle to our friends and family when they are in the need of a realtor, and we would definitely use her again for our next home search!

      - T. M.
    • Danielle took us to see dozens of properties. She worked her butt off for us and was really flexible and available. We were all over the place in terms of the type of property (multi-unit, single family, town house, etc) and the neighborhood. Danielle didn't rush us or push us one way or the other. She spent several full-day Saturday's with us showing us a wide variety of properties and neighborhoods to help us narrow down our search. We ended up purchasing a wonderful home (2-flat in Bucktown) that was perfect for us and a great investment, as well.

      - A. K.
    • Danielle did an incredible job with listing, showing, and selling my condo. She first helped by advising me on handling a situation with a tenant currently in the property (as it related to listing the property). Danielle then provided a tremendous amount of help working with contractors (to spruce up the place a bit), stagers, and other associated work. As I lived out of town, I think Danielle went above and beyond with assisting me to get everything ready for sale. When the time came, we ended up with three competing offers to buy the property, and Danielle helped advise on the approach to take. Overall, I'd highly recommend working with Danielle Dowell.

      - S. B.
    • I highly suggest using Danielle. She digs deep to find exactly what you're looking for and will spend countless hours of her personal time researching properties as well making herself available to show you what she found based on your criteria. On a scale of 1 to 10 as a consumate Realtor I'd rate her a 9999+ ... search her out, you will not be disappointed!!!

      - R. S.
    • Danielle recently helped my family to rent a duplex in an attractive area of Lakeview. We were on a tight timeframe and had high expectations. She and her colleagues ensured we found a place that exceeded our expectations. Danielle was highly responsive and professional throughout the process. I will definitely ask her to represent me in future real estate transactions. She makes it easy!

      - L. V.
    • Danielle just sold a SFH for me located in Bucktown. The process could not have been smoother. We worked well together. Danielle organized for a staging company and super photography...it really made a difference in attracting a buyer.Initially, we had a difference of opinion about pricing (I wanted it higher than she). Ultimately, we discovered that her research was correct and that the price we ended up at was much closer to her price than mine...trust.In summary...a hearty endorsement for a highly qualified broker!

      - P. P.
    • Danielle was a treat to work with selling our condo. Her recommendations were tremendous and she was great to work with from start to finish. We were in constant contact throughout the process, she was always available and quick to communicate all information needed to get the sale done on schedule. We recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago.

      - J. P.
    • Danielle helped me find my condo and was a pleasure to work with through the entire process. Very professional and personable, willing to work with my schedule and do what ever was needed to find what I was looking for. She also helped me find a great mortgage lender, which was a big help with the overall process. Would definitely work with her again for my next real estate transaction.

      - C. H.
    • Danielle first helped us search for a new home. When conditions changed she was able to switch over and sell our place quickly. She was a pro throughout the whole process.

      - J. E.
    • I cannot express how lucky we were to have Danielle on our team, not only when we bought our first home, but a few years later when we had to sell it to move out of Chicago. In addition to her friendly personality, she is incredibly knowledgeable about her field and it a true advocate for her clients. We all know how daunting the negotiation process can be and she made it as easy as it could be, staying positive through the process. She was always on her game, easy to get ahold of, and responsive. I can't express how great of an experience we had in our home buying/selling precesses thanks to her.

      - T. C.
    • Danielle was great. Very patient and on top of things. She is our main realtor and will continue to do business with her in the future. I've recommended Danielle to family and friends.

      - N. I.
    • Johna was great to work with. She was immediate with any and all anwers to my myriad questions. We received immediate offers on our condo and completed a short sale in record time.

      - M. V.
    • Danielle helped us with our first apartment. She is extremely diligent. We probably visited 20 or so apartments before finding the perfect one. Danielle is the best.

      - P. G.
    • I bought my condominium in 2008 - the height of the market. I left Chicago in 2010 and had three renters help offset the cost associated with the unit. It was a major nightmare, as the third renter turned out to be a criminal. My real estate agent at the time (NOT Danielle) attempted to sell the unit. This included getting it under contract with a(nother) questionable party that ultimately walked after I had signed all the papers. At this point I was considering walking away and letting the bank take it. But, fortunately, I met Danielle who promised me she could get the appropriate value for my condo. I remained skeptical - but Danielle walked me through her process. We setup staging for the unit in the lively month of December, and listed it right before Christmas. Given the time of year, I was skeptical of a quick turnaround. But in a couple of weeks, we had multiple offers. I ended up getting roughly $20K than the previous deal I was under. Danielle singlehandedly turned this around and lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. Her team is very responsive, professional, and most importantly - knows how to get the deal done. I would enthusiastically recommend Danielle and her team to anyone looking to buy/sell real estate in Chicago. She is a dream to work with.

      - C. C.
    • This was the second time I've worked with Danielle and her team. They are nothing short of amazing. From working with us on pricing, to scheduling showings to setting up the house for photos, Danielle is an expert. I would highly recommend her to anyone either looking to purchase or sell their home.

      - M. M.
    • Excellent experience with Danielle's team. Our house went under contract 2 days after listing, and ended up selling for more than 10% over asking. She did an excellent job guiding us through the staging of the house, and the marketing material was top-notch. Her team was also very responsive to any questions or concerns we had during the entire process.

      - K. V.
    • Kristy is a joy to work with and is not only knowledgeable but professional and hard working. I would highly recommend her to anyone whether looking to rent or buy. My situation was unique because of the narrow parameters I was looking for in my apartment search. We looked at a huge number of properties and finally I found one that worked. We were also able to get the rent down from the original listing. I couldn't be happier.

      - C. H.
    • Danielle is very knowledgable and responsive. She guided us through a very stressful time in our selling and purchasing process. I would highly recommend her.

    • Danielle Dowell is amazing. She helped me buy my 3 bedroom/3 bathroom condo. She found my place off market and was able to negotiate a great price. But more than that, she has deep knowledge of the local market. She helped to educate me on the market, found me an amazing deal, helped steer me away from bad options and negotiated every detail of the transaction. Danielle provides the value-added in a real estate agent that truly sets her apart and makes her special. I would unequivocally recommend Danielle and have already done so to a number of my friends.

      - D. D.

    • Danielle was great to work with! She is extremely knowledgable about the market and her communication skills and response times are quick. I would absolutely recommend her to others.

      - S. G.
    • She was very helpful through the purchasing process. It was new to my husband and I. However, she was open to helping out night or day! Even after closing, she was helping out with getting things done. Great realtor! I would highly recommend her.

      - D. A.
    • We recently moved to Chicago from Portland OR. We knew nothing about the Chicago market and needed to make the transition on a tight timeframe as part of a corporate relocation. Thankfully, we found Danielle and her team who made the whole process smooth, efficient and enjoyable. They did a great job of understanding our needs - or more accurately, helping us understand our needs - helping us narrow our search and understanding values in the Chicago market. When we found the place we wanted, she gave us great guidance during the negotiation. This is a very professional, hard working and commercially savvy team and we have no hesitation in recommending them. They are also really nice people and fun to work with.

      - G. F.
    • Kristy was an absolutely fantastic real estate agent. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience or person to work with. She was kind, prompt with both email inquiries and calls, and always cognizant of our preferences. She helped us find a really amazing place that fit all of our criteria and was able to answer all of the questions we had on our end. Kristy drove out of her way on multiple occasions to the units we were visiting, which we are truly grateful for. Kristy is a truly wonderful real estate agent, and I would recommend her to anyone. Couldn't have been better!

      - A. R.
    • I've known Kristy Dowell professionally for over 2 years. She is the consummate professional. When she says she'll get something done there is never a doubt. This is a rare quality today, and she really is well informed on local properties. Kristy helped me to get my first home also advised me on mortgages & loans. She quickly found me properties matching my criteria.

      - W. P.
    • As a developer, I need to know where the market is trending to as well as what current finishes are being used to attract buyers. Danielle showed me several development opportunities and completed projects all the while speaking to market trends and buyer preferences. She is able to advise on every aspect of each opportunity. I continue to work with Danielle as new projects become available.

      - U. V.
    • Danielle and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with throughout my home buying process. She was extremely responsive and very knowledgeable. As a first time buyer, I had no idea what I was getting into and she had a lot of patience as I navigated this foreign experience. The first time we met, we talked for an hour over coffee as she explained the process to me, which was extremely helpful. She kept me updated throughout the process of putting in multiple offers and gave me great advice about what I should offer and counter offer. I definitely recommend Danielle, Kristy, and Kimber for anyone who is looking to buy a home!

    • Johna Peterson is the only real estate agent I would ever use, when Iam looking for property in the Chicago area. She is a highly professional and motivated individual, who always puts her clients' needs first. She listened attentively to what I was looking for and she scheduled lots of showings very quickly... All the places we toured met all my needs. Johna was always accommodating and worked around my schedule. I would highly recommend Johna to any friend or family member who is looking to rent or buy their next home. Her level of commitment and dedication to her clients is unmatched and her knowledge of Chicago's real estate market is incredible. Johna made my home buying experience extremely pleasurable. She's the best!!!

    • Excellent experience. Very good at consulting with you on a variety of issues in the real estate transaction process and a clear knowledge of Chicago nieghborhoods. Well connected with builders and service providers such as attorneys, handymen, and bankers.

      - N. K.
    • Kristy went above and beyond in helping us to purchase a condo in Chicago. My partner and I were both new to the area and actually began the search while we were still living out of state. Kristy scheduled numerous back-to-back viewings on the few days we were able to be in Chicago, which allowed us to feel confident we were making an informed decision. She was always helpfully communicative about the process and about various neighborhoods in the city and we were very happy with the service she provided.

      - B. T.
    • Danielle, Kristy, Annie and team were outstanding to work with! After speaking with multiple agents, we felt that they had the best knowledge of our area and go to market strategy. They were always proactive, responsive, honest, willing to listen and able to guide us through this process. Very much a best in class group!

      - W. S.
    • Johna helped our family find a home in Lincoln Park. She was very responsive and always willing to make herself readily available for walkthroughs to better understand our needs. She was very knowledgeable - and offered excellent referrals (lenders, lawyers, etc.) along the way, which helped expedite the home-buying process. We bought a unique property - a fixer upper - and she pushed back appropriately - and recommended doing a walk through with a contractor to get an idea of the renovation costs, before putting an offer down. Very consultative - and very much appreciated.
