Lauren assisted me with the sale of my Chicago South Loop condo. This was an investment property whose value dropped significantly after the 2008 market collapse. In such situations, one feels even more concerned about the costs associated with the sale and if or when it would. Lauren remained sensitive to this fact as I knew that I would still be selling the property at a loss. Additionally, Lauren’s knowledge about the history of the market, the neighborhood, and upcoming construction helped us to identify a price that would be attractive to a seller while ensuring that we maximized my outcome. At no point did I feel rushed into a quick sale. Her attention to detail (painting, carpeting, repairs, and staging) were not things I had considered; but I came to understand how important these things were to remain competitive. Moreover, she helped to coordinate all of these activities. In th…

Moreover, she helped to coordinate all of these activities. In this way, believe the commission fee for working with a REALTOR was well worth the cost. Overall, I highly recommend Lauren and her team. She or they were prompt, professional, thoughtful, efficient, and effective.

Buyer & Seller

We just had the pleasure of working with Lauren Schuh to sell our home and buy our new condo, which is no easy task, especially when both transactions are interdependent. Lauren brings extensive knowledge in real estate (both on the sale and purchase ends), undivided attention to detail throughout the onerous process, deep industry connections, and most importantly genuine passion for her job, combined with caring integrity! Lauren also knows how to negotiate in a tough but diplomatic and intelligent way. We were able to sell our home at a great value and navigate the rough waters of buying our next home with little stress thanks to Lauren’s negotiation strength and thorough industry knowledge. Lauren is exceptionally hard-working. She continued to provide us with her counsel even on the very day her daughter was born and barely skipped a beat while caring for a newborn and juggling our …

Lauren is amazing! I had just moved back to Chicago and was looking to buy a place in West Loop. Lauren made the impossible possible! I wanted a place in a particular building that is in very high demand where units get listed on Monday and are under contract by Friday. Lauren went above and beyond leveraging her experience and extensive contacts to get me a viewing before my unit even went on the market! Lauren's hard work and dedication are the only reason I was able to buy my dream condo in my dream building. However, Lauren doesn't stop there, she provided me with a plethora of contacts for service providers I needed after closing. Her entire team is very responsive and professional too! She knows almost every real estate attorney in the city as well as lenders. Lauren is one of those professionals who cares about her clients is completely honest and who knows exactly what she's doin…

My husband and I recently worked with Lauren and her associate Martin Compoverde on both the sale of our home of 20+ years in Lakeview and the purchase of a condominium home in the downtown Chicago west loop area. We were very impressed with both of them on both of these transactions in terms of their knowledge, helpfulness, energy everything! In our home sale, the property was not listed long at all and they managed to find us a buyer who offered us even more than our listing price how great is that! And on the purchase of the condominium, we were shown very many properties that fit our criteria before we settled on the one we chose and Lauren and Martin were wonderful in the whole process. They are personable, knowledgable, astute, and just good people we enjoyed working with and getting to know. We are now friends and are happy to recommend them to any of our family and best friends w…
