ChicagoCityHomes, the name of our real estate firm, tells a lot about me and my husband, Louis M. Elia. We have a passion for Chicago and its neighborhoods and we welcome the opportunity to introduce new buyers to the many wonders of the city. Our mission statement describes our goal in business: MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. With over 50 years of real estate experience between us, we bring some particular areas of expertise to the table that help match our clients with the perfect property, smooth out any difficulties in the process, and leave them happy to pass our names along to their friends. One of our past homebuyers aptly expresses how our
teamwork served her well:
"Karen and Lou are the home buyer's dream team. They want you to be happy, so they work toward that end. I can't say enough about how responsive, available, and considerate they were while working for us. All the horror stories I'd heard about home buying and the dreaded closing that just did not happen for us. We had a very positive experience. We started out with an interview with Karen where she asked us many questions about lifestyle, locations, and the specific details we wanted in a property. Then she contacted us about only those properties that met our requirements. She never tried to "sell" us on a property or push us in any way. We only looked at those places we wanted to see.
When we did find the place we wanted, Lou negotiated for us in a sensitive situation with a renovator/seller acting as his own agent. Due to Lou's knowledge of building renovations and his expertise as a realtor, he was able to negotiate a new roof and glass block windows around the foundation at our offering price. Subsequently, we developed a good relationship with the seller, who was extremely helpful to us in the year following our purchase. Recently, two friends spoke to me about the possibility of buying, so I immediately sent them information on Karen and Lou. Because I applaud their mission and have experienced their work ethic, knowledge, and expertise, I recommend the Breen-Elia team enthusiastically and without reservation."
This testimonial from our past client, Melanie Parenti, is not an isolated example. We work together to find our buyers the single home, condo, or multi-family building that is right for their lifestyle and their budget. That's why, year after year, much of our business is referral business. We invite you to visit ChicagoCityHomes, where the diverse Chicago neighborhoods unfold before your eyes.
