“Joe, Amber and the entire MKT Realty team are more than real estate agents to my family…they were partners and friends who guided us through a relocation from the East Coast to Chicago. Their knowledge, responsiveness, availability and service quality are unparalleled. Ours was a unique situation, as we travelled back and forth to Chicago, and Joe was available when needed and Amber made sure we were efficient with our time (and always getting us what we wanted!). The big surprise has been the level of service that continues post-closing. Adjusting to a new city and neighborhood is never easy but with MKT backing us up, its been a smooth experience. They offer value every step of the way, from providing outstanding contractor referrals to neighborhood recommendations that truly demonstrate their vast experience, expertise and partnership. MKT has gained a client and ! a friend. Thank you.”
“Tawnya, I wanted to thank you and mykindatown for treating me as a friend and not just a client. You pay personal attention to me as well as my child and you have been someone I’ve felt that I can talk to even after my properties have closed. Kendra loves the pumpkin and supplies you gave her and was so excited to get cutting that I had to send you a few pictures of the process. She makes sure I light it every night. Thanks again for everything!” see the pics! Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3
“Katie Hackett is fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and she helped my boyfriend and I find the perfect home in Chicago. She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, patient, and a true joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable agent!”
“Joe was the perfect fit for the style and pace that we desired on the path towards a home purchase. He was attentive but not overbearing, honest but unbiased. He is quite personable and made it pretty painless to go out for long mornings of touring various properties. I’ll definitely be utilizing him again and recommending him to friends and family.” – Richard Kates
“Mary Haight is EXCEPTIONAL at her job! She is the consummate professional. She priced the condo I was selling perfectly, got a ton of showings immediately, got 2 offers and got the condo sold much quicker than I had anticipated. She made what I suspect is a really difficult process for many, effortless and enjoyable. I HIGHLY recommend working with Mary!”
“Working with Joe and his team was a truly wonderful experience! They were all so prompt with their communication with us and we really felt as though they had our best interest at heart. -They also sold our house in 2 1/2 weeks! Thank you again so much for your help!!!!” - Seller of 253 E. Delaware
“Joe, Mary, and their team were a pleasure to deal with. They kept us informed throughout the sale of our property. They were always available for questions and concerns.” – Matthew and Sarah Osterhout
“Mary was very professional, on time and took time to show a lot of different properties to us and had a profound knowledge of the area we were interested in. We are very satisfied with her.”
“Joe Zimmerman and Mary Haight were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. We never had any doubt that they would come through for us. They were smart, enthusiastic, hard working and professional. Communication was great. The market was very strange during the time we were for sale…yet they found our buyer and made the deal happen. Amber and the marketing team were impressive. Overall the service was awesome. Very nice people to do business with. We couldn\’t be happier with the experience. We have already referred our friend selling her condo to Joe and Mary and will continue to refer clients to them when the opportunity arises.” – Charles Desormeaux and Roberta Pickett, 522 N. Ada
“We just wanted to sincerely thank you for everything you have done to get us here over the past few weeks (or months in some cases)! We truly believe we had the best team possible and we couldn’t have gotten here without all of your hard work and patience…You are amazing and we are SO happy!!!”
“I was referred to Joe by other satisfied clients, and I understood immediately why his hard-working reputation preceded him,” says Molly Lorden, a recent client. “He took the time to understand what I was looking for, and then took on the search for my first home as if it was his own. And most importantly to me as a first-time buyer, he was completely accessible and made me feel as if I was his only client.”
“Mary is an unbelievably great agent,” says a recent client. “She is knowledgeable and friendly, and although she knew practically everything about the unit and building, she was honest about the things she wasn’t quite sure about and went one step further and found the answers to my questions. Thanks to Mary, the entire process was smooth and painless. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.”
“We have realized the benefits of working with Joe long after the closing,” says Paul Loftus, who worked with Joe to buy his first single-family home. “He takes the realtor/buyer relationship to a whole new level by doing his homework on the client’s needs upfront; offering excellent service and insight during the sale; and then staying in touch post-sale to provide interesting and useful information on everything from home upgrades to neighborhood comps. In fact, we recommend Joe to our friends again and again because he’s proven that he enjoys working hard on our behalf.”
“I have used Mary for six real estate transactions and have been very pleased each time. Her knowledge of the market, expertise on strategic price positioning, aggressive negotiating skills, attention to detail, and commitment to providing excellent overall service are what make her a spectacular realtor. With each transaction, I feel I received the best outcome possible. I highly recommend Mary for anyone who is buying or selling in the Chicago market,” says Carolyn Henson.
