ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was a pleasure to work with and did a great job communicating with us during every step of the process. I will recommend John to all of my friends and family moving forward.
ZillowVERIFIEDCynthia Schiff was my point of contact with the John Sommer team. She is a true professional and really goes the distance with assistance. She was succesful in obtaining Homeowners Insurance from the seller, she assisted with the Inspection and Radon Drop and she even requested and obtained the Sellers lawn mower to leave behind for me!
ZillowVERIFIEDI went through 3 other realtors (1 from the radio) before I found Debbie and the Sommer team. Debbie always kept in contact and really worked to get the sale. After working with the other realtors that just want to get the listing it was really a breath of fresh air to work with this group! They worked for me to get it done!
ZillowVERIFIEDPriced the house right . Our home sold quickly and our agent helped uss a new home that was just right for us. They dealt with issues in a timely manner.
ZillowVERIFIEDI was extremely pleased and grateful for the experience I had working with Debbie Weinrich and John Sommer's team at Keller Williams Fox Valley Realty. As a first time home buyer, I was especially grateful for the detailed explanations, patience, openness to questions, and attentiveness Debbie and the rest of the team showed me. They were quick to respond and extremely flexible, very knowledgable, and honest with me throughout the process. I highly recommend working with Debbie and based on my experience, would feel confident recommending John Sommer's team.
ZillowVERIFIEDSo incredibly happy with John and his team! He made our dream come true! He even let us use the Keller Williams truck for free! Thank you John for all that you did to make our new home possible!!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe met John when we purchased our home. He was the sellers representative. We liked how he approached the sale and knew we wanted him to sell our home when the time came. John came to our home after we purchased it and helped us as it was a foreclosure and bank owned. No previous owner to ask questions of. John was very caring and involved. When we were thinking of selling, John came out and gave us an idea of the comps in the area and what our house should sell for. A few months later we decided to sell because of a job transfer. John came back and listened to our motivation to sell - fast so that our boys could get to the new community before school started. John told us a new, lower, price and we agreed because we didn't want to sit on the home for a long time and the uncertainty. The house sold in two days with two offers and we got more than our asking price. We were ecstatic! Everything was going great until the buyers financing hit some roadblocks. John and our attorney, John's recommendation, were fantastic with their follow through and tenacity to get the deal closed. The closing was two weeks late yet I could call John any time of the day and weekends. He was the consummate professional! Call John to buy or sell your next home - He is the BEST!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe've had the pleasure of using John to both purchase and sell a home in St. Charles. John's strong communication skills and quick responsiveness made both processes go as smoothly as possible. We felt at ease knowing that John was in our corner and looking out for our best interest every step of the way. Our house sold within a week and for above asking price. We highly recommend John to all our friends because we are that confident in him. I wouldn't use anyone besides the Sommers team in the Fox Valley area.
ZillowVERIFIEDI had a great home buying experience, we contacted Him, and immediately put us in contact with one of his Agents, who worked with us in every way possible to help us find the right home, and make the process easy. And even after the purchase was finalized he and his team continued to check up on us, and even provided us with a truck to move our belongings twice. I would highly recommend him and his team for any real state needs. Very professional, and easy to work with!! Never pressured us into buying something we didn't like, or to make a decision after seeing two or three houses, loved our experience, and would likely used him again, and likely would recommend him to people I know.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is a fantastic realtor; knowledgeable, kind and compassionate about his job and his clients. He went way beyond and above what is typically expected from a realtor. He helped me with repair projects in my home and prepared me for the next steps after closing. I HIGHLY recommend John as a real estate broker.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn worked hard to get our home sold. It took a number of showings and changes. Throughout the process he guided us on what the market was doing and what we needed to do to meet the demands of the market. He was patient and never gave up. He got the job done!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn came prepared the first night we met. He brought information on our house as well as comps in the area. He was very professional and friendly. It was the best experience we could have asked for.
ZillowVERIFIEDLoved working with John Sommer and his team, Debbie is THE BEST! Listens to your wants in a house, and does not push a sale or make you feel pressured in any way. Great experience, and helped us find the home of our dreams!!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn and Debbie were great! They didn't stop searching until they found the perfect place for me! Additionally, they helped me every step of the way since it was my first home purchase. Texting was our main form of communication which was really nice because not everyone likes to text but they were super responsive, friendly and definitely experts in their field!! Since buying the home and moving in they've also recommended a ton of great services that have worked out. They had excellent recommendations on attorneys, inspectors and even HVAC installation and utility setup services. I will be working with them again when I'm ready for my next purchase!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn and his team were very helpful in the purchase of my new home. Although it was a bank owned home, they were able to negotiate a great deal for me and helped us with the moving expense as well.The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the home had a very bad smell in the garage that I was hoping John and his team could recommend someone to handle, but in the end I just found someone on my own.All in all, a good experience, John and Paul are good people, and I would recommend John and his team to help get you into your new home.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I loved working with Paul Dorado and the John Sommer Team. They went above and beyond for us. They were very understanding to our needs and worked very hard for us. In the middle of us trying to buy a house my husband lost his job and we had to pull out. Paul Dorado and his team were so nice and understanding even though they did so much work for us. We hope to try and buy again and when we do we will definitely be contacting Paul and his team!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe met John at an open house. He was very friendly, professional, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He was also very accommodating any time we wanted to view a house.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn brought a lot of positive energy to the sale of our house. We ended up getting almost 10% more than we originally thought!John was able to meet our needs on looking for a new home and picked up on our likes and dislikes right away. John was definitely an asset in our sale and purchase and would use him again if we ever buy another home in the area!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is very honest, responsive, and knowledgable. We have appreciated him helping us with looking at homes and now in selling our home. John has given great suggestions on how to update our home as well as references for those who can help us in the process.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn worked with me and my wife and showed us an extensive number of homes within our price range with what we were looking for in a house.He is very well versed in what is available, and has an uncanny ability to know what houses will be under contract quickly versus others.I would highly recommend John to any couple looking to buy or rent their next home
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was great in finding us exactly what we were looking for - I think we only looked at 3 properties before he found us our perfect place! We purchased a short sale which can be overwhelming and confusing, but John made the whole process easy and understandable. We were so thankful for his experience with these different kind of sales, and appreciated his expertise in dealing with the banks and all others involved. Highly recommend him!!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was wonderful! I told him exactly what I was looking for and he found me a near close to perfect match almost immediately. Being a first time buyer I was very timid and had tons of questions. John stayed by my side the entire process and informed me what was going on step by step. If your in his area I would recommend John Sommer.
ZillowVERIFIEDI had the pleasure of not only selling my house but buying a new one with John's help. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. If there was something I couldn't do and John could he would with out hesitation. He's extremely knowledgeable, handy, and always available when you need him. If and when I do buy/sell in the future I will definitely be using John again!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe are very impressed with John Sommer. He went above and beyond in every respect, walking us through the loan process, helping us navigate negotiations, and giving us peace of mind as we closed. He was able to meet in off hours and responded to calls and emails promptly. He was even able to advocate for us when the warranty company didn't fulfill their end of the bargain.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was instrumental in selling a house for me at a price I hardly thought possible. Subsequently he negotiated the purchase, and later sale, of another house which resulted in a very tidy profit.Three experiences with John, three home runs!
ZillowVERIFIEDHe went above and beyond for us- helping shovel the driveway, checking on our house, etc., on a short sale. And since he has rental properties, he was able to give us remodeling advice to increase resale value.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Sommer was a great realtor for us both when we sold our home and when we bought another. My husband and I felt completely comfortable taking his advice on how to price our home and how to negotiate once we received and offer. Without his help we would have been making decisions in the dark (we don't have much experience negotiating or buying & selling real estate). We had bought our first house in 2008 and so we were not sure that we'd be able to sell it for enough to payoff the balance of our mortgage. With his advice and help, we were able to do it! Then, when we were ready to buy another house, he was great about showing us a variety of properties to help us figure out exactly what we were looking for. Then, when we found the house we wanted, he again helped tremendously with deciding how much to offer and how to negotiate from there. We are very happy with the house we got! It has everything we were looking for, and we feel we got it for a good price!
ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend John Sommer. I have used him several times to sell and to buy homes. He has always been honest with me and was available whenever I had questions. I would still use him and I will always recommend him to other people.

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn has sold us three houses so far. Each experience was great! He is very friendly and easy to work with. We can't say enough good things about John. He truly has his clients' best interest at heart.We would definitely hire him for our fourth house...if that ever happens.
ZillowVERIFIEDA+++ Superior service, responsiveness and support. Looking out for our best interest was at the top of his list and was very flexible in such a difficult market. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch agent.
ZillowVERIFIEDI have bought and sold several homes with John Sommer. I always have felt like he has an excellent pulse on the real estate market in our area. He is always quick to respond back to me with any questions I have. John is also very patient and I really have always felt like he was more interested in me getting the right house than in getting another transaction done. When we purchased our last home the sellers were very difficult to deal with but John had a good way of keeping the process on track with his follow up with us and the other agent. I ahve confidence that John is a man of the highest ethics and is truly an advocate for his clients putting their interests above his own.
ZillowVERIFIEDThe Sommer Team is experienced, professional, resourceful, helpful, and reliable to say the least regarding our experience. We have gone through the buying and selling of six homes now, and we were satisfied throughout the whole process of selling one house and then to buy another with Keller Williams Realty. My husband and I knew in order to sell our home, we would need some ideas as to what to do to create curb and house appeal. When we chose the Sommer Team, we did not know the full extent of benefits for which we would need them for, at the time. Such as, while John was efficient getting us listed, and pricing us attractively in the market, Tom helped us with what improvements to consider on our house. We were already into the aEUR~good time for selling months, so getting the painting, and other changes done had to be done very quickly. Tom took all the footwork on himself that we normally would have had to do. He knew of various skilled tradesmen and made the calls, and did everything to get the work done, pronto! Truly, most of our stress melted away! Upon an inspection for a possible buyer, there was a list of things to fix. It would have taken us a lot of hassle and longer length of time to complete the things by ourselves. One thing on the inspection list was to get someone to complete the electrical demands, but, because it was a holiday, a contractor was becoming hard to find. But Tom made it happen. He kept trying to find someone, and finally made a call to an electrician, up from Tennessee and in our area, willing and able to do the work on the 4th of July. We would never have been able to get all those things done in such quick fashion and skill as Tom did. This quality team made it possible to sell our home quickly, and it did!We also were very happy with Trish who helped us in finding a home. We were especially glad that she was picky and showed only the homes that fit our desired description. She was never pushy, and always got back to us quickly with answers and help as we needed.An additional big plus benefit with the Sommer team, was the Keller Williams Realty truck. It came in handy several times for moving our items to storage and then to our new home. We even used it again, to transport our refrigerator and freezer, to be used by a family member, until we needed it again. With all the expert knowledge in an upside-down and uncertain housing market The Sommer Team was a very necessary help, and we couldnt have asked for a better team to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was instrumental in the selling of our house quickly and at a good price in the current market. He understood the market and took the time to learn our needs, and then he advised us well. We couldn't have done it without him, and would definitely recommend him to others.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn did an excellent job listing our home and suggesting ideas that would help attract buyers. John was always responsive to our requests and very knowledgeable about the market we were in. Our home sold in about 8 months and we were very happy with the price we received. I can recommend John without reservation and we are planning to use him again for another home sale in the near future.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was outstanding in follow up with all of the needed details. John ept us in the loop at all times and was willing to go the extra mile. We were working with a bank owned property, so the needed leg work was much greater than a "normal" transaction.
ZillowVERIFIEDI have known John for over 20 years. He is a straight shooter, very honest and committed. He guided us through the buying process when we bought our home and has continued to be engaged years after the sale. John is not pushy, but very free with his deep knowledge of the business when asked. I recently recommended John to my sister-in-law and she is using him to sell her house.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe found him to be helpful, knowledgable, and easy to work with. We worked with him to sell our house and when looking for a new home. He is very professional. His office has a free moving truck, that we were able to use for our local move-so we didn't need to rent a moving truck. When we listed our house, it was a short sale, and he was very helpful in getting me in contact with experts on short sales so I knew exactly what I needed to do to get things moving with the bank.
ZillowVERIFIEDDon't realize how fortunate you are until its gone. John has provided location, listing and sales services for me on three properties over the past four years. Buying and selling real estate can be inconsistent and stressful. I have recently moved to North Dakota and began the process of purchasing property there. This has been the first time I have worked with someone other than John. That experience has cemented in my mind that John Sommers must be the poster child for all realtors. He is the polar opposite of the person(s) I worked with. His energy, enthusiasm, knowledge, insight, creativity, and a whatever it takes attitude are the best in the industry. Who ever is fortunate enough to garner his services will not be disappointed.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the selling process and negotiated a very good deal for us.He knew the local market very well, priced it exactly right, and negotiated a selling price that was close to our asking price. He even sold our washer and dryer to the buyers!We didn't feel like we were just another client of John's, we felt like we received personalized service and attention.We would highly recommend John to anyone wanting to sell their home.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was instrumental in helping us sell our home - the same day we listed it. We're grateful for the excellent service. We have referred friends to him and he has performed the same way every time. John is an excellent agent.
ZillowVERIFIEDWhat I especially appreciated about John was that he was proactive without being pushy. He wasn't just a passive 'order-taker' but really took initiative to help us - but more importantly he took initiative to proactively chase down the details, check out the offers, follow up with other agents, etc. etc. etc. He was helpful in the important matter of properly and honestly pricing the home. It sold in very good time in a very difficult market. I would use him again without hesitation.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe have purchased two homes with John's help and if we ever plan a move again we'll definitely be asking John for help! Really appreciate knowing we can trust him to look out for us and guide us in making the right decisions for our family's home!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is very helpful, he knows the Fox Valley market better than anyone else I know. John goes the extra mile to help me. He has checked my listings after bad storms to make sure everything was OK.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is very passionate and persuasive in his approach to selling real estate. The bank has found him to be outstanding in his efforts to sell property on our behalf. He does his homework, leaves no stone unturned for potential buyers, and ultimately accomplishes his goal.As the decision maker for First State Bank in St Charles as to who receives our listings, I strongly recommend John with confidence he will exceed anyone's reasonable expectations.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Sommer is a very professional, effective and honest realtor. There are times that you don't like what he has to say, but you can trust that it is the truth and market centered. He KNOWS the market and will only give you input that is realistic.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn came into my home with confidence and good advice on how to make the house appealing to prospective buyers. He offered information that I would not have thought of and I took his advice. My house sold within 3 months which is wonderful in this market of today.He was always positive and attentive. I would gladly give his name to anyone trying to sell their home.A pleasure to work with.
