      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 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!

      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.

      I'm not sure there's adjectives that exist to express how much Frankie means not only to myself, but our entire family. He hands down is the reason we were able to purchase our first home! The level of service and knowledge combined with invaluable advice, comfort, and positive energy are unmatched. When you love what you do and are good at it, it's more than a job. Frankie puts his heart and soul not only into insuring his clients needs are met, but that they exceed their expectations. He made what can be an extremely emotional and stressful process, super fun and had our backs since day 1. I can't imagine ever working with anyone else or having the same result if it weren't for him, and for that, we are forever grateful. Frankie became part of our family throughout our home buying journey. I will be recommending any and all friends, coworkers and family his way. He's so good at what he does! The advice he gives from start to finish is priceless and gave us so much comfort and confidence in our decision. He always made himself available and also makes time to check in on his own accord. I love him more than words! <3
