I called Chicago Properties and Sam Shaffer himself picked up. I spoke with him and candidly asked his opinion to which he responded in an honest professional manner. We agreed to meet soon after within 24 hours which impressed me. I "interviewed" Sam and showed him my property for sale, and was immediately sure I had made a GREAT choice. Sam is sharp, pleasant, highly knowledgeable and honest. I was also floored by the efficiency of his team! He is not a one-man shop, but instead is the captain of a FANTASTIC team that knows how to work together efficiently! I have to give a shout out to Anne, Jeanne, and all of Sam's team; they each have their expertise and dedicated position in the company. They are synchronous and highly effective. I followed Sam's advice recommendations for preferred stagers and they were reasonable and made the place photogenic and attractive. Sam was also able to connect me to a preferred real estate attorney, who was also reasonable and HIGHLY effective. Chicago Properties is the COMPLETE package and I would heartily recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell without the headaches of searching for answers or solutions to the process. They handled it ALL for me and best of all, were able to turn my place around and actually close it in about 45 days! If you seek what I would describe as a "Concierge Service" from a great realtor, definitely give them a call, you will NOT regret it.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Sam and his amazing team and couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Sam and his team was exceptionally patient and dedicated, working with us for nearly a year to find our dream home (I've lost count of how many homes we visited together). His responsiveness was unmatched, always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. Sam also has a profound understanding of the market. His insights helped us navigate the complexities of the real estate landscape with ease. Above all, Sam was a trustworthy advisor. His honesty and directness was greatly appreciated and it sets him apart from other agents. We are convinced that without his specialized knowledge and exceptional negotiation skills, finding and purchasing our dream home would have been nearly impossible. We highly recommend Sam and his team to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about his clients' needs. Thank you, Sam and team!

Sam is a wonderful agent. This is our second transaction with him and it couldn't have gone smoother. Not only Sam, but his whole team is great. He knows the market and is very experienced. He negotiated a price above asking and expertly dealt with agents for competing offers. 100% we would highly recommend him. Everyone on his team is responsive, friendly and easy to work with.

Absolutely top-tier. I can’t say enough good things about Sam Schaffer and his team. From day one, Sam took the time to understand exactly what I needed, and more importantly, how to solve for that in this market. Every building we toured felt thoughtfully curated. I felt heard and allowed to lead my process, which built trust to follow Sam's lead. The process was seamless, thanks to his incredible network and partners. Working with Sam was professional, smooth, and quite enjoyable. As far as I’m concerned, Chicago Properties is it! I’m done looking. They’re my go-to real estate team, period.

Sam is the best! We switched to Sam right before Thanksgiving and were thinking it'll take at least 3-4 months to get our condo sold. Sam and his team worked diligently to get many showings for us from November to December, the toughest winter months in Chicago and around the holidays. His team kept us in the loop through the process and gave us feedback from each showing (they were always there in person to do the showing too!). We got multiple offers in January which was a huge pleasant surprise! It has been such a great experience working with Sam and his team. Thank you!

My wife and I came to Sam with a very challenging problem - find us a home in a very short timeframe and in a very specific area in a market where no one is selling and then turnaround and sell our Chicago condo in market where no one is buying. Sam and his team accomplished all off this, surpassing our wildest dreams of what we could achieve in our new home in Wilmette. We would recommend Sam to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Chicago area, you will be getting a first class team with the experience and ability to get you the home you dream of.
