      We recently worked with Frankie to buy our home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for him. As first-time homebuyers in Illinois -who just moved from California with a baby on the way-, it was crucial for us to find a realtor who truly understood our needs and timeline. From day one, he was incredibly attentive, patient, and always had a positive mindset/attitude. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and made sure to keep our priorities in mind throughout the entire process. Also, his referrals for lawyers, constructors and other professionals are top-notch.It was a real pleasure to work with Frankie, he's a wonderful human being. Can't recommend him enough.

      Frankie is a 100000/10. Absolutely exceptional and hands down the BEST experience I’ve ever had when it came to finding a home for my family. From the first moment we chatted with him we knew he’d have our best intentions in mind. He made our move across country so much easier because we knew we had someone in Chicago looking out for us and helping us find our future home. Frankie is patient, very understanding and honest. He helped guide us to find the PERFECT location based on our wants and needs and within our budget. He made my family and I feel like a priority the entire time and went above and beyond with virtual tours and prompt follow ups. We cannot recommend him enough, and the next time we look for an apartment or house in Chicago, he’ll be the first person we call!

      Frankie was incredibly responsive 24/7 for the 3-4 weeks we worked with him. In that time, he found us an extensive list of amazing properties, even in one of the slower times of year in terms of open inventory. We ended up signing a lease for an incredibly spacious Frankie found us for a fair price. If you need a place in Chicago, I don't see a reason to go with anyone else.

      Frankie was the absolute best in helping us find a new apartment! All it took was 1 afternoon of touring apartments and he helped us land our dream spot. He was quick to respond, available at a moment’s notice, and provided super honest insight to the units we were looking at. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

      My fiance and I were extremely lucky to have found Frankie during out relocation process. We were moving from California to Chicago and couldn't be there in person for tours. Frankie went above and beyond for our home search by touring countless places for us, sending us detailed videos and photos, and guiding us through the Chicago market. He's extremely responsive, has a ton of knowledge about the Chicago area, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Frankie to anyone that is in the market for a new home!

      My boyfriend and I were moving from Charleston, SC to Old Town, Chicago, and Frankie made what could’ve been a super stressful process feel surprisingly easy. He was incredibly responsive over text — answering all of my (many) questions and even sending us a personalized video tour since we couldn’t see the apartment in person.He clearly knows the Chicago rental market well and made us feel confident navigating everything from a distance. We felt really taken care of, and we’re so grateful for his help in finding a place that we truly love.If you’re moving from out of state or just need someone who’s reliable and communicative, we highly recommend working with Frankie!
