I cannot recommend Apartment Guys enough - in particular SYLVIA. Sylvia was absolutely amazing at helping me understand the local neighborhoods in Chicago and was instrumental in helping me find a place and make me feel very comfortable about it...Coming from NJ I had no understanding of where to be or what to look for in the Chicago market... Sylvia is a market guru and knows her stuff. If you are lucky enough to work with her I highly recommend it...I went around with other property management companies and they all share a common agenda to lease to you within their own complex... Apartment Guys ensures that you are looking at the best product, no matter who represents it...When touring with other brokers in the area they each prioritized showing me their represented units which seemed to be run down and not as advertised. However, with apartment guys, the only agenda is to get you into the right place. Each unit I saw with Sylvia was nicer than the next and catered specifically to my needs.I had a minor change of plans halfway through my showings that would have frustrated many agents, however, Apartment Guys was quick to change our plans and show me other units around the clock...My only regret is not calling this place sooner - NO ONE better in Chicago.
I was visiting from out of town trying to line up an apartment over a weekend and reached out to Apartment Guys about viewing a listing. It was kind of last minute but they set me up with an agent, Craig Persin, who was available to meet within an hour. I wasnt super excited about the unit I initially called about but Craig had a number of other potential units lined up that matched the profile I was looking for and he kindly toured me and my girlfriend around the neighborhood. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and I really appreciated the insights and candid perspectives he provided. We never felt pressured about making a decision but ended up finding a great apartment and had a lease signed within 24 hours. Thanks again, Craig!
5 stars for Apartment guys specially Craig Persin! I had very specific criteria and Craig was able to find me the apartment of my dreams. He was professional, very responsive and reliable. I will recommend him to all of my friends in the future. thank you!
Apartment Guys were my last hope and they saved me out of living in the street. Aaron Davis is great! People who work there are really interested in getting you an apartment. I had an issue in the past, so everyone was denying me. Three months I could not get a place to live until I contacted Apartment Guys. Aaron found an apartment for me within a few days! I cant express how happy and grateful I am! Aaron resoled my issue on my behalf. If its not for him, I would not get the place.
My personal & professional experience with The Apartment Guys particularly CRAIG One of Bright & Energetic Professional Staff, was GREAT in every sense of the WORD. Highly RECOMMEND.Noel Noah Cortez
Aaron from The Apartment Guys helped me and my fiancée to find a wonderful Chicago apartment. Working with Aaron and the Apartment Guys was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Aaron was responsive, kind, understanding, and took the extra effort to find out exactly what my partner and I were looking for in an apartment. He then proceeded to take us around Chicago for an entire afternoon, free of charge, to show us 8 apartments. Every single place fit our criteria, from price and location, to layout and feel.Real estate agents can often be pushy or aggressive. Not Aaron – he stood back and gave my partner and I room to discuss and express our own opinions of each place, and he never gave his own opinion until we asked him. This showed us that he was invested in our well-being and happiness more than anything.Aaron was also incredibly responsive during the application process and waiting period; he always responds to texts and phone calls in minutes and was always kind, understanding, and willing to answer any questions. And now we have been approved for a beautiful Lake View apartment, thanks to him and The Apartment Guys!We HIGHLY recommend working with the Apartment Guys to find your dream place. They are an awesome team. If I could give more than 5 stars, I’d do so in a heartbeat.
When I called them regarding a unit they had to offer, they were kind enough to arrange a viewing visit where they would drive me around to multiple places. The appointment was first postponed since they mentioned that their car broke down, so I changed around my schedule to match theirs for the next day. About an hour before the appointment they cancelled it with a vague reason saying they need to get it done and are not responding to any messages afterwards. I even asked to get the details of the units so that I can make my way there myself but didnt get a response. Bad service - would not recommend.
JORDAN WAS OUTSTANDING! My boyfriend and I were looking to move from Lincoln Park to the Gold Coast. This was a very last minute and stressful situation, because of factors like, the COVID-19, the holidays, and our schedules (I work 9-5 and my boyfriend works nights and weekends) Are first viewing was 9 AM on a Sunday the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS, Jordan was prompt, positive and was able to scheduled a significant amount a viewings (6) in a 2 hour window. Jordan made the process as ease for us as he could, he drove us around, dropped us off while he looked for parking and paid, handled the leasing agents so we never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision. He was very flexible, very available (via text, email) and respondent timely regardless of the day, or time) We are so grateful have had the opportunity to work with Jordan and could not have made this move this winter without his help!
Aaron from the apartment guys was essential in helping me and my girlfriend find our first apartment. Drove us around for an afternoon free of charge and even offered a drop off back home. He also helped us out immensely with the approval process, which was tricky since covid had us out of work for a sec. We just moved in on the first of November in the exact spot we wanted. Can’t recommend enough. Definitely would’ve settled for a place we didn’t want if it wasn’t for him reaching out. Great experience.
Excellent service. Shout out to Aaron for being super helpful and responsive all the time.
Worked with Malarie on finding an apartment. She made the entire process effortless and easy! She took the time to find out what I wanted and needed and made sure I got it! Highly recommend working with her!
I worked with Cory to find an apartment, and wow, she was wonderful. Very attentive to my needs, hardworking and thorough, she showed me five apartments in the span of just a few hours, all within my price range and with the specifications I’d asked for. I recommend working with her at the Apartment Guys!
Such a great experience and pleasure working with them to find my apartment, more specifically, Jodi Cowart! Literally the best leasing agent I’ve ever worked with; so great at communicating, she truly wants the best for you and makes it a priority to help you find what you’re looking for. I’ve worked with a few other agents, she’s the only one who asked me what I was looking for as far as layout, certain features, the little things that one doesn’t think about; overall, we saw maybe 8-10 different units, and there was maybe one or two that I didn’t like.. but the rest were exactly what I was looking for. Ultimately, went with the one that I didn’t even know was in my budget, and in a location so convenient for me. She’s so friendly and nice, not only did she drive me around to different properties, once we were done, she dropped me off at work. Extremely flexible with hours for showings as well. Highly recommend! Look forward to finding my next property with her once my lease is up.
Stephanie helped my boyfriend and I find an apartment. We were in a tough situation and she went above and beyond to help get us the perfect apartment. She is very nice and professional but also makes you feel like a friend. We also ran into her after moving in, and she remembered us and was very nice. Thank you Stephanie for helping us find the perfect apartment. We seriously couldnt have done it without you! The Apartment Guys are all great and knowledgeable about their area and really helped us out during the application process.
Highly recommend! I was looking for an apartment and I reached out to apartment guys. Alyssa contacted me and set up tours same day with all my specifications. She helped me find a great apartment and I was able to sign a lease same day. Thank you for all the help and making the process so seamless!
My husband and I flew from out-of-state to look for apartments before our move to Chicago, and I happened to discover The Apartment Guys through a listing on Hotpads. Because we were short on time to find a space, we contacted them and met with Patrick. Before meeting him though, we spoke over the phone so that he get more info on what we were looking and eased my nerves on finding a place in a short amount of time. We flew in to Chicago and met at their office on a Saturday. Once we arrived, he had several great apartments lined up for us to view within our price range. What was especially nice (since we were visiting from out of town) is that he had a car to take us around to each apartment. We almost went with an apartment that was shown, but ultimately found another space that met more of our family’s needs. Patrick was great throughout the whole experience. Being that this was a new city for us, there was some information that we felt “after the fact” could have been shared by the company up front in regards to the decision process.
Ghosted on showings. Said there were no possible units with laundry in lakeview when I literally had 6 open tabs. Completely disorganized, had to track them down for them to even realize they were ghosting on something they’d scheduled.
I’ve worked with Rick at Apartment Guys and the experience has totally gone above and beyond my expectations. He researched listings that reflected what I was looking for in the price range I gave, with a great variety of locations. He gave a fair, unbiased tour of the various apartments. When I was getting ready to sign a lease, he advocated on my behalf to ensure the unit would be in great shape when I move in. Highly recommend.
My wife and I were looking for an apartment in Chicago and worked with Michele Carney from Apartment Guys. We are remote and Michele was superb in helping us find the perfect apartment. Every time we made adjustments in our criteria, Michele was able to find the exact selection of apartments tailored to our taste. I am impressed by her precision, professionalism, and patience. I strongly recommend working with Michele.
I would not go here if you have a low budget (probably less than $1,100). My agent started the appointment with six apartments to look at, and was immediately narrowed down to two because I had a strict budget. I felt like that my agent had not listened to what I was looking for in an apartment - they kept asking me questions about what I was looking for in a place, even though I had told them these things when I initially called. They were extremely caught up in the relation of the locations of the neighborhoods to each other, which is not something I care about (I just needed a place to live in a safe neighborhood). Additionally, I had driven in from a ways away (3 hours) and was disappointed that all they could come up with was two viable options to show me.If you have a low budget, I would just skip going here and look for something by yourself. Thats what I ended up doing and was successful.
Danielle was extremely helpful and would always respond back to my messages right away. She showed us other good potential apartments that were great choices. Very satisfied with my overall experience.
Malarie was an absolute delight to work with. She made a mental note of all my requirements, patiently heard out all my feedback and in the end, found the perfect studio apartment for me. All while being incredibly positive throughout the process. Thanks again Malarie!
I worked with Stephanie and couldnt have been happier with my experience. I was mostly unsure of what I wanted but she asked the right questions, drove me around, and found me the perfect place. Ill be sure to come back when I need my next apartment.
Sharon at Apartment Guyz was terrific! I cannot say enough about her. She was extremely responsive, patient, quick, a can-do attitude, and quite frankly, we do not know what we would have done without her. We were practically in a crisis mode with hotel funds run out, and Sharon was able to work within our criteria, find a property we didnt even know existed (and within budget) and less than 24 hours later my daughter was handed the keys! This is a fantastic service, and anyone would expedite their search by working with Sharon, because she will get you results. Thank you Sharon!!! Thank you Apartment Guyz!!
When other realtors told me my expectations were too high for my price range was too low, I came here and found the perfect apartment! Talyssa is awesome!
Very professional stuff, responsible, very satisfied. Keep promising.
Took my 50$ for application and never got me a place and never really tried. I called them back a couple times and they gave me the run around, told me next Thursday we can look at stuff... not nice ppl. Im only left with the conclusion that my 1200$/mo. budget wasnt worth their time.
Thank you David and Michele for all of your hard work!
Kinda helpful
