Sam and team did a wonderful job for our family. We were out of state for the duration of our home sale, and they handled everything (even finding a repair person when our furnace needed a quick fix). They were professional, responsive, attentive, made us feel confident throughout the process. Overall great to work with and would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Chicago area.

Sam and his team were top notch; unbelievably responsive and incredibly professional. From start to finish, the sale of our condo was smooth, organized and quick. We could not recommend Sam and his team more to anyone looking to sell or buy in Chicago! We will be working with him again in the future.

Sam made the whole process feel easy from start to finish. He really knew how to price the house right and get us a quick sale over asking price; his social media marketing brought in great attention. When it came time to review offers, his advice was spot on and super helpful. On top of that, his entire team was responsive, communicative, and great to work with.

Sam and his team are the best! We were anxious about selling our condo, and months before we were ready, we were relieved to talk to Sam and learn about his clear and thoughtful approach. When it came to time to put the place up on the market, Sam presented various options to list our place and made pricing recommendations based on the local market. He was spot on with his pricing recommendation, it brought tremendous interest and offers from several buyers and we found a great buyer (and a great sale price)! Sam and his whole team - Ann, Cristian, Patrick all stepped up to make the listing a really successful one. Sam's team also had a recommendation for handyman repairs and ways to freshen up the unit before listing it, so that it could make a strong first impression. Finally, when a few unexpected hiccups came up, Sam and his team went above and beyond to make sure the open house, assessing offers, and closing went smoothly. We really appreciated their attention to the details and for their educating us along the way. If you're looking to sell, definitely talk to this team - we felt we got the best possible outcome for our condo sale and are confident you can too.

Excellent experience with Sam as both a buyer and a seller. Handled the whole sale process after we had left the city and exceeded our expectations. Understood our needs and helped us stage the property easily. Handled the negotiations with buyer very well.

This is the second time in as many years that I have trusted Sam Shaffer and his outstanding team at Chicago Properties with the sale of my real estate, and once again they exceeded expectations. Sam, Dan Kravitz, Cristian Leiva, Patrick Wicklow, and Ann Brown worked together seamlessly to sell my Ukrainian Village brownstone two-flat in record time, going from listing to closing in about 30 days with a full-price, as-is offer.The marketing was excellent, especially the professional photography, and every step of the process was handled efficiently and professionally. It was truly a team effort, and the entire transaction felt smooth and stress-free from start to finish. I highly recommend Sam and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Chicago.

Sam did an excellent job selling my Lincoln Square two flat. His network brought multiple interested parties to us without having to sit on the open market or deal with lukewarm unmotivated buyers. He moved at a very fast pace and his team was very responsive getting the deal together and across the finish line. I would happily work with Sam again and recommend him to friends.

Sam and his team was awesome. We bought and sold our house with him 5 years apart and he went above and beyond for us both times. Selling our house was complicated with extra streps due to a special assessment. He organized open houses, secured seven offers within 48 hours, had them improve their offer without us asking. We felt completely supported during the whole process, they put a premium on stress reduction, and we really felt like they were on top of things from start to finish. I don't typically write reviews but I requested a link from him in order to write one because I feel strongly. I would give his contact information to any friend and family without even thinking about it.

Sam did a phenomenal job selling my home in record time under challenging circumstances. His recommendations as to how to present the home led to being able to choose between multiple offers within 48 hours of being on the market. He is also very pleasant to work with- he is communicative and responsive. I highly recommend him!

I have been working with Sam for almost 9 years! I knew from our first meeting to find me a condo in Chicago, that he would be my realtor for as long as I lived there. Well here we are, a condo bought, rented out, house bought and now sold all with Sam! Every purchase and sale he has been my true friend and confidant, knows exactly what I will love and hate and understands the market like no other. I probably can't get him to move to Florida and get his real estate license here but I will keep trying :) Anyone who hires him will never be disappointed and has truly gained a friend not just a realtor.
