Andrew at Be Realty helped my husband buy his first condo before we started dating. That home held so many memories through our dating, engagement and married life. When we were looking to sell, even our friends were sad because we would be moving to what was a home to many others. Buying my first house in my life with my husband was such a huge step (during the pandemic nonetheless). Andrew did an amazing job walking through the whole process with us! He was calm, never pushy, and very diligent. He gave us his expert opinion which was so helpful throughout the whole process. Andrew, thanks so much for working so hard and helping us not only sell our first place together, but buying a home that will house many new memories (even as we continue through this pandemic). We couldnt be more thankful Andrew and his team at Be Realty!
I have now bought two homes with Be Realty and I couldnt have been more satisfied. Andy was our primary broker on both occasions, and he is really a pleasure to work with- professional, attentive, and just a good person all around. What I liked best about Be Realty is how dedicated and patient they are with their clients- Andy always put our interests first, ensuring that we were found exactly what we were looking for, no matter how long it took. Andy is also very knowledgeable about the real estate market, and was able to expertly guide us all facets of buying a house once we found it, from putting together a winning offer to connecting us with outstanding inspectors and lawyers. I have heard so many people describe their experiences with house hunting as stressful or worse, but with Be Realty the process is smooth and enjoyable; you are in good hands!
Super-happy with our experience working with Andrew, Lynn, and the Be Realty team. We were looking for a house in one of the most challenging buyers markets of the last 20 years, and they guided us through the process like true pros. They were very responsive, and when we found a house, they were fantastic resources for the negotiation, inspection, and closing process. I highly recommend reaching out to talk to them when you are thinking of buying or selling.
Lynn and Andrew helped us sell our condo in a neighborhood with a high saturation of sellers. They were both patient with all of our questions and the selling process, as well as quick to respond with updates from showings, offers, etc. Most of all, we value their kindness and honesty as people. Thank you, Be Realty!
Andrew and his team is the best of the best!!! Andrew managed my rental property after I moved to another state, and I am so blessed with this decision!Andrew is super knowledgeable, responsive and responsible, and kept the property in a great condition, so it is really a relief to me. There is nothing I need to worry about and I true him 100%. After I decided to sell the property, he sold it at a very good price and closed the deal within an incredible short period, which is amazing!I think the best part is, he and his team can take care of everything for you, from purchase to rent to sale. I will 100% go back to him if I have any property needs in the future
Lynn and Andrew are amazing and I would highly recommend working with them. Weve now worked with them on 3 real estate transactions, and we are so grateful we found them. Theyre very thorough, knowledgeable, communicate quickly and clearly, and are very patient. Its great to have them on your side during the process of buying and/or selling!
We were very satisfied with the services that Lynn and Andrew (TeamWendt) of Be Realty provided. Everything on their part was done right and in time to our convenience. Lynn and Andrew always kept us aware of what was going on with the contract and the deadlines. They always communicated clearly regarding meetings for showings and schedules. They nailed their line of work with professionalism. There was absolutely nothing Lynn and Andrew could have changed to make it better.First time home buyers - Hoffman Estates
Andrew and Lynn were fantastic to work with and made the difficult process of condo buying a positive one. For a first time buyer, it was great to get straightforward feedback and answers to all of my questions. I really appreciated the personal touch of always checking in to make sure I was comfortable with how things were going at every phase. I’m grateful for their efforts in getting me into a home I love!
I really cant say enough good things about Be Realty. I know people say that all of the time, but in this case its well-deserved. I honestly could write a novel about all of the positive experiences we had with Andrew, Lynn, and the rest of the team. We started the search for our first home in January and weren’t entirely sure what were we were looking for. Andrew was so diligent and patient with us in those first couple of months, and we were getting close to buying, when COVID hit. Fast forward a couple of months of hand-holding and multiple assurances that we were still going to find a home, that it was going to work out… and we were making our first offer. We couldn’t believe it! Unfortunately it didn’t work out (and neither did the next 4) but finally we found the perfect first home. Throughout the rollercoaster that was this 9 month process, Andrew was there every step of the way. My partner and I both ask a lot of questions and we never felt like we were a burden. In fact, a testament to Andrew’s dedication to his clients: he viewed and helped us to put an offer on our home the day before he was scheduled to become a father for the first time. And when Lynn stepped in to shepherd the deal through and we knew we were in good hands. Their personalized service didn’t stop after the sale though. He’s since helped us to find a great handyman and offer us tips as first time landlords. I’ve told all of my friends that are considering buying homes to give Andrew a shot and I implore you to do the same. You won’t be disappointed.
I recently moved into a 2bd unit in a property owned and managed by Be Realty on the South Side. The property manager is seemingly apathetic to the needs of the building and tenants. He ignores calls and texts, and hasnt been back to the building since he showed us the unit in November. Ive been here a month the premises have be cleaned once, and my roommates and I have had to put in 9 maintenance requests for several issues ranging from the heat not working (its December in Chicago), drafty and un-secure doors and windows, to most recently a sewage smell in and outside of the unit, and an apparent rodent infestation. Everything looked fine when showed the unit. However the basement tells the true story of the building. Had I seen it first, I wouldve passed on this building and Be Realty. The owner had more experience and concern for selling properties as opposed to keeping and maintaining them. We have no working doorbell and were told flat out that the broken one in place wont be repaired or replaced. I moved because I was dissatisfied with my previous landlord. Atp Be Realty may be worse. I would not recommend leasing a unit from Be Realty at all. They have great reviews as real estate agents that can get your property sold but property management and upkeep are not areas of great concern even for the person tasked with the job.
Great team and valuable insight. There was a lot of hand holding that needed to be done as we were first time home buyers. Andrew and the team helped us move along and get our dream home. I cant say enough about them!
These guys are doing a great job managing my property. So glad I switched to them on Jan 2020. Its been 8 months and no complaints.
We used Andrew of Team Wendt a few years ago to help us purchase a home for our family and knew that he was a trustworthy and knowledgeable broker. So when he came to us with a pricing and marketing strategy to sell the first condo my wife and I bought many years ago, we believed that he had our best interests at heart. One showing, one executed contract, and one transaction devoid of any issues later we have closed on this property and are very thankful to have done so. We would recommend Team Wendt to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in Chicago.
Lynn and Andrew were awesome! This is the second time buying and the first time selling with them. Very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. You cant go wrong with Team Wendt!
The agents at be realty really care about their clients and provide tremendous guidance regardless of the type of buyer or seller theyre working with. Ive worked with them on many transactions and they always make sure theyre looking out for their clients best interest. Id recommend be realty to anyone looking for a great agent to buy or sell a home.
We worked with Be Realty (Joe Sutton) to sell our condo and buy our house and were so happy we did so.Joe was great in so many ways, but most of all he was someone that we could trust, someone that we knew had our best interests at heart. Joe:- Gave us honest feedback, not just want we wanted to hear. Feedback on our expectations, feedback on updates/changes that we should make when showing our home etc.- Gave us candid feedback and advised us, but ultimately let us make decisions.- Set expectations with us.- Was always accommodating, professional and personable.Buying/selling real estate can be stressful and we were so fortunate to have Joe there with us throughout the process - he definitely made it so much better for us.
We worked with Brittany Cortina, and she was fantastic! We were relocating from out of town, always a challenge for realtors as well as buyers, but she made the process as smooth as it could be. She went above and beyond, responding at all hours of the day, and thoroughly searching not only our neighborhoods of preference, but also areas she knew would fit our needs, discovering some delightful options we would not have considered otherwise. More than once she made herself available on short notice, even spending a whirlwind Saturday viewing 12 properties with us. Although we were experienced buyers, she made sure to follow up at key points, from the offer stage to negotiations, ensuring that we were aware of upcoming dates, requirements, and negotiation points. Most of all, she was honest, giving us her personal opinions of both the properties we visited vis-a-vis the market and the reasonableness of contract terms. We can’t recommend Brittany enough, and that’s saying something, because we’ve worked with dozens of realtors in several cities.
Andrew Wendt was amazing to work with! He knows everything about Chicago and has his finger on the pulse of the housing market. He helped me sell my home super fast and was incredibly professional in his approach while making the entire process fun. Do yourself a favor and use Be Realty to buy or sell your next home :)
Stephen was so great to work with! I am brand new to the home buying process, but Stephen answered ALL of my many questions! He was also so responsive, even over the busy holiday season. Stephen was always so thorough and at the ready to help out. Stephen was also very knowledgeable and made many great recommendations to us to other great companies (inspection, lender, etc) which was very helpful considering we didn’t have any connections in those fields. Thank you Be Realty for helping us to find and purchase our first home!
My wife and I have done 4 transactions with Steve Johnson and his team. We bought our first condo in 2008, they sold it quickly in 2015 and helped us purchase a brand new construction townhome in 2015 and then sell it for us as our life changed in late 2018. Steve and his team are all fantastic and do a great job helping buy or sell! They are always on time, and will always call you back quickly if you have any questions. We would recommend them to anyone we know to use their services!
Very satisfied. Joe Sutton went above and beyond to make us comfortable in every aspect. Would recommend him to anyone. Was a pleasure to work with during the entire process. Joe kept us informed during the entire process. Always made us feel like we were the top priority. We are just so grateful for everything Joe has done for us.
Be Realty helped us quickly find a lease when a relocation moved us from Houston. Stephen and the team found us a great place in the perfect neighborhood for our family. They’re love and knowledge of the city eased our stress and got us excited about the move. We won’t trust anyone else to help us when we’re looking for our permanent home in Chicago.
Lynn was awesome throughout the entire process. Very patient and gave good advice, walked us through each step as we were first time home buyers. We had an issue with our water heater at closing, and whole the sellers lawyers was trying to be sneaky and reassure us we have a warranty, Lynn pointed out to her that the warranty does not cover known issues Very knowledgeable and on our side through the whole thing!:)
We just finished a multi family in Chicago and Andrew is now managing. Great guy, great organization. Very responsive and accountable. They are also helping us look for a new property. Love these guys!!
As a first time home buyer, I could not have had a better experience with Be Realty. I absolutely love my new home, and the speed, expertise, friendliness, accommodating nature and all around helpfulness exhibited by Andrew and his team let me know I was in the best hands. I would give more stars if I could!
We were extremely satisfied with the services provided by our agent, Lynn Wendt. Lynn was very professional, flexible with updating our preferences as we continued to define what we wanted, always available to answer questions, and most importantly- she was committed to our end goal of owning a single family home within very specific parameters. Her loyalty to her clients will restore your faith in community. We appreciate everything Be Realty has done for our family since before even moving to Illinois.
I am satisfied with the service provided by Be Realty. I was a first time home buyer with no knowledge of the home buying process, but I have to say that Lynn was kind of a coach during the whole process from finding a home to the nitty gritty details of attorney review/closing process procedures. She made sure that no deadlines were missed and that I was on top of everything. There are many positive aspects about Be Realty, but I have to say that the best aspect is that they are there to really help you with your decisions. I never got the sense that they wanted to make a quick sale/commission and go on with the next. Lynn was always available for the late night calls/texts, explaining anything contract related, negotiation strategies/processes, and pretty much everything from the beginning to closing. Both Steve(manager) and Lynn stopped by at closing with very thoughtful gifts as well. I am sometimes difficult to work with and tend to change my mind on my decisions, but Lynn did a fantastic job and would recommend her to anyone looking for to purchase a home. I hope to work with Be Realty in the future for anything related to real estate.
Im a divorce attorney and I appointed Be Realty as the listing agent in a highly contested divorce. So, I was ccd on every email between Stephen, the Be Realty agent, my client and the estranged spouse. Stephen was polite, forthright and task-focused the entire time. I will be appointing them as a listing agent again in the future
I am from HK and obtained a wonderful internship experience here! My boss Andrew Wendt, Director of Operation Lynn Wendt and Managing Broker Stephen Johnson are professional realtors with passionate in this real estate industry. They brought fruitful real estate knowledge and network to me. Apart from works, we went for Cubs game, Lollapalooza and had meals and drinks tgt which are all amazing excursion activities. I have gained a lot and built up a long term deep relationship with Be Realty
