Testimonials

Samuel Ciochon is the best Chicago realtor! We have done three transactions together. He sold me my first condo in Lincoln Park and sold it for a premium, then helped me purchase my new condo in West Loop.

We had a timing mishap due to our buyer for the sale of my condo that resonated in a timing issue of my buy. Between Samuel and my lender they created 14 alternative solutions to make the transaction work in time.

I am very happy with where I’ve landed over the course of nine years. Samuel is responsive, patient, knowledgeable, and fun! I am a strong type A, corporate-minded individual and he is willing and able to adjust his style to match. Not to mention, Samuel has a whole host of connections – he’s hooked me up with the best attorneys, mortgage lender, inspectors, painters, flooring pros, general contractors, and more, going beyond just sales to helping me make my condo a home. His character is unmatched, both personally and professionally.

When I think of the qualities that you want in a real estate consultant, Samuel Ciochon checks every box. He assisted my husband and I in the purchase of our condo in the West Loop! We were first time homebuyers, so we came into the process blind. From our initial consultation through after closing, his advice has been dependable, knowledgeable, and accurate. During the process, he informed us of all the next steps, and his communication was unmatched. Ultimately, I have referred three friends to him since we purchased, and he has taken tremendous care of each one! Samuel Ciochon is the best realtor in Chicago!

Samuel Ciochon is the best Chicago realtor! We met in college through athletics and have become life long friends. It has been amazing to see how successful he has become in his professional life! Samuel has helped me 4 times now over the last 8 years.

In 2014 he helped me find my first rental apartment in Wrigleyville. Not wanting to mix business with friendship, I asked him to then refer me to a colleague to buy my first condo in Lakeview and stayed on in a consultation role which helped me through the first time home buying experience. After that I came to my senses and he helped me and my husband buy our forever home in Arlington Heights and sell my Lakeview condo.

Samuel's knowledge of the market, assisting us in staging our condo for sale, patience he has when explaining the selling and buying processes is second to none. He is a great active listener which helped us to narrow down what was important to us during the buying process. His communication is stellar and prompt. He is very hands on, so will be the person you are talking with personally. He has great recommendations for real estate lawyers, mortgage brokers, and inspectors. I highly recommend him for selling or buying your place!

Samuel and I met through a mutual acquaintance five years ago when I was beginning my journey as a real estate investor. Chicago was a new market for me and I knew very little about that city. Before my first visit, however, Samuel carefully listened to my interests, sent nearly a dozen options for me to consider, and prepared an itinerary in anticipation of my arrival. In those early days, he was key in making a complicated and arduous process straightforward and transparent.

I’ve continued to work with Samuel over the years and through the ups and downs of the real estate cycle. Having a realtor who knows and understands what I’m looking for, keeps an eye out for opportunities, and explains why I should pursue some options over others is invaluable. By having Samuel as part of the team that I count on when conducting real estate business in Chicago, I have seen my portfolio grow faster and larger than what I had projected initially.

My favorite part about working with Samuel is knowing that he believes that my success is his success. We don’t just work on transactions. Instead, he checks in to ensure that I’m set up for long term success, from understanding the changing laws and requirements in the city, to the economic and structural viability of the buildings, and the happiness and wellbeing of the tenants. I truly feel supported and plan to continue working with him for as long as I’m invested in Chicago.

What a friendly and knowledgeable realtor with great connections in the area. He helped us get our amazing home for under asking, and we couldn't be happier. He will be my go to person from now on.

Very professional and knowledgeable about the various Chicago neighborhoods. Simplified my home purchase by understanding what I wanted. Enjoying my lake view and city living!

Samuel and his team were outstanding to work with! He asked the right questions to understand my priorities, was a trusted advisor throughout the process, and found the perfect fit for me in buying my first home. Samuel went above and beyond to answer my questions quickly and guide me every step of the way. Highly recommend!

I have discovered there are many variables involved when buying specific properties and also when renting to residents. Samuel stays current with all of the laws, changes and updates that apply to my specific properties. In addition, he has also been a great overseer and property manager when I am unable to be physically present for repairs and updates that are needed. He's proven to be trustworthy and knowledgeable which are key for me in this business of real estate.

Samuel is simply the best. We were referred to him to sell our Chicago Bungalow based on his expertise selling Bungalows in our neighborhood. He was wonderful to talk through staging out historic home without making us paint all the walls and trim white. He was also very careful to explain where to best put our money to get the best return on investments.

Once we were ready to list our home, his marketing was spectacular! He put together a beautiful package to sell our home. Selling our home during COVID-19 was rather nerve wrecking. He was responsive to all of my concerns and questions throughout the entire process.
We were able to get an offer on our home after only 4 days! And once the process began he was excellent at talking through contract negotiations and stood up for us every single time. Our buyers were very unreasonable and downright difficult. He was always there to talk through the next steps and help me navigate what we should do next. He went above and beyond what was expected and even continued to check on us after closing. I highly recommend Samuel for anyone looking to sell their home during this difficult time.
