ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL.
HIGHLY COMMUNICATIVE.

“Sam is fantastic – this was our third transaction with Sam (he help us buy our first house, sell it when we moved out of Chicago, then helped us buy again when we moved back) and as long as he’s still doing this, we will use him as our realtor. Always professional, has a great crew around him, highly communicative, and just a nice person. Has deep experience in the entire Chicago area and was really good about helping us think through our decision.”

Sam helped us sell our condo in the city & buying our home in the suburbs. He and his team are very responsive and kept us in the loop every step of the way. They listened to what we were looking for and were great at guiding us. I was most impressed with how they sold our condo. Within a week our condo was photographed, listed, and had 5 offers all over asking. What a dream!

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 was excellent and I'd recommend him to anyone (and have). He was transparent, knowledgeable, and patient. His knowledge and experience was evident at every step of the process. We'ev now worked with Sam as both a buyer and a seller, and he was outstanding for both.

After working with Sam and team as buyers on our first city home six years ago, we knew there was only one choice when it came to who to help us on the sell side this summer. No surprise, they knocked it out of the park once again! Each step in the selling process was seamless and speedy. And each step came with great communication that helped us understand where we were in the process and answered any questions we had. We are so grateful for this team helping us take this next big step in our lives. Would recommend them to any buyer or seller out there!

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 was a true pleasure to work with. His extensive experience and deep knowledge of the Chicago real estate market were invaluable in helping us find the right home and craft offers that were both competitive and appropriate. What I appreciated most was his honesty. He never pressured us and consistently pointed out potential issues or drawbacks with properties, which helped me feel confident and informed throughout the process. Sam is also supported by a fantastic team that made our experience as first-time home buyers smooth, efficient, and far less intimidating than I expected. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough!

This is my second time using Sam, first on the selling side. As stressful as the selling side can be, Sam and his team worked fast and had an offer in under a week. Sam stayed calm and extremely responsive throughout the entire journey.Thank you to Sam and his fantastic team. Next time I am in the market there is no doubt who my first call is.
