Janet Borden and her team are simply awesome!!! We interviewed several real estate brokers when selling our Highland Park, IL, home in late 2021, and narrowed it down to two brokers, both of whom seemed very qualified. One was quite conservative and recommended a selling price that I thought was aEURoereasonableaEUR?. Janet came in, looked around, suggested a few changes, rearranged the furniture a bit in several rooms, and said she thought the home would sell quickly at a 25% higher price than the other broker. We thought about it and retained Janet and her team. Her friendliness, common sense, responsiveness and aEURoecan doaEUR? attitude, in addition to knowing the market in detail on the North Shore, sold us. The first day on the market, we had three offers. We did not accept those offers at Janets advice, but waited about a week longer and accepted an essentially full price offer. Janet held our hands during the closing process and always was there to answer questions. We eventually closed and give all aEURoeglory and praiseaEUR? to Janet Borden and her team. Jan aEURoeCanaEUR? and aEURoeDidaEUR? for us. Thank you, Janet, Allison and her entire team.

Kim did an unbelievable job helping my boyfriend and I find our first home. From being incredibly responsive, no matter the time of day, to helping us put together our best and final offer, we would not be in our current place without her help! Kim went above and beyond for us every step of the way, and she made us feel that we were her top priority. We highly recommend Kim to anyone, whether you are looking for a rental or purchase. She will be by your side every step of the way!

Kim was awesome! We moved to Chicago from out of state, and she did a great job getting to understand our preferences and needs and suggesting the best neighborhoods for our purposes. She was open and clear about pricing options and able to recommend properties that fell within our price range with maximum features aligning with our asks. Kim was very active in preparing us for our trip to tour homes, providing us with a strong portfolio of options to consider in advance. Her experience and assistance made our home finding a lot less stressful than it would have been, and she liaised with property managers and owners on our behalf, allowing us to focus on finding the right house without being bogged down with so many details. She was also super friendly and considerate, keeping in touch with us with suggestions of things we can do in Chicago :) I highly recommend her for anyone looking for the right place in a new city!

Simply wow. Kim from the very beginning of our condo search was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable. We threw every question in the book at her being first-time home buyers and on top of that, a military family utilizing a VA loan. Whenever questions arose Kim immediately met us with information and contacts to gain further insight. When touring potential places not only was searching with Kim so much fun but she gathered all the nitty gritty details from listing agents that we would not even know to ask. In the crazy market that was, Kim quickly became our steadfast voice of reason. Allowing us to make decisions that made sense for our family but giving us all the knowledge and tools to do so. Between Kim's network of contacts, skill and determination to get the job done we felt honestly honored to have her on our side. We cannot recommend Kim enough and our so grateful to have gained this relationship in our life.

Kim did an amazing job in helping us find an apartment! She listened to what we wanted, was prompt with follow ups, gave us recommendations for negotiating/getting a foot in with the landlord, and, more than anything, cared about finding us the right place. She made the entire process quick and painless. We would recommend working with Kim to anyone that is looking to buy/rent.

Kim did an excellent job in assisting us with the purchase of our condo. She was responsive, knowledgeable, resourceful, friendly and always available. She was involved in all aspects from the beginning to the end including the closing and always willing to give advice and suggestions. She kept us up to date and made sure we understood any delays in the negotiating and closing process. I would definitely recommend Kim Kelly to be your real estate agent!

We were first time home sellers and working with Kim was seamless. Kim is so patient and informative and really took the time to answer all of our questions, as well as help us with all the details of selling and promoting our condo. She did this so well that we were able to go under contract within a week with multiple GREAT offers! Kim is so trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable which made a stressful process go SO smooth. I HIGHLY recommend Kim for any real estate needs in the Chicago/Chicagoland area!

I was a first time homebuyer who knew next to nothing about the process. In what could've been an overwhelming time, Kim was patient and informative, guiding me every step of the way and making the process feel straightforward. Beyond simplifying the logistics, she really took the time to understand what I was looking for in a home. After just a couple showings, she caught on to my taste and helped me identify which features I cared about the most. And what truly set Kim apart was her exceptional responsiveness. No matter the time of day, she was always quick to address any concerns or answer my questions. Her availability and attentiveness made me feel supported and well-informed throughout the entire process, including when I had to make a late night offer on a condo. I could not have landed this condo without her- and the fact that she negotiated for me to keep the grill and back patio furniture was the cherry on top. Highly recommend working with Kim!
