My wife and I recently purchased a home and we were so fortunate to have Zak help us through the process. He was super responsive, quick to set up tours, willing to meet with us on a moment's notice, and advocated for us through the whole process. He went above and beyond for us, particularly, when some appraisal items came up while we were welcoming a newborn into the family. Zak kept the process moving while also giving us space while we were at the hospital.
We love working with Zak. He helped us find our first home and was so awesome to work with that reached back out to him when it was time to sell that home and buy another one. He is very professional and extremely knowledgeable and a such a great personality as well.
Patti has not just been my personal realtor. She is our family realtor. Over the past seven years she has provided professional leadership for one sale and three purchases for me and for my son and my daughter. Her years of experience in this market has provided invaluable support for the major life decisions involved in buying and selling a family home. She is wise, candid, and tenacious in making sure that her clients get a good and fair deal. Thank you Patti!
Patti is just the best. I can't recommend her enough. She knows the area and knows what her clients want. She is thoughtful, communicative, smart, and honest. I was so nervous with the idea of buying a house, but with Patti's help, we were able to find the right place at the right price. We're loving our home and wouldn't be in it without Patti. We are truly thankful and grateful for Patti's help. I have already recommended her to multiple friends who are considering buying a house. She gave us the time, attention, and knowledge that we needed to find our home that we could build our family in."
My husband and I used Patti to find a home in River Forest. She helped us search for about a year, starting in Oak Park and eventually adding River Forest to our parameters. She is extremely knowledgeable about both cities as well as the tytpical types of homes you will find in each. She helped point out items in the house that could be an issue down the road. She attended and supervised the inspections we had done since we c ould not be there. She was very helpful throughout the whole process. We have recommended her to several people and will continue to use her for any future home purchases and listings.
As a client of Patti Sprafka Wagner, I was impressed with her commitment to her clients and her solid advice on real estate matters. She made the stressful process of preparing and placing your property on the market run smoothly. She even went extra mile by working over the New Year's Day Holiday and found the right buyers for our condominium. That is first rate service.
Zak was truly an outstanding agent. He gave us good advice and was always straight with us. He had a very good understanding of the Oak Park/River Forest market and the type of buyer who might be interested in our house. He worked tirelessly to make a sale, advertising in print and on the internet. When we ran into unexpected problems, he helped to find us the right people to remedy them and then double-checked to make sure the result was great. We were very impressed by Zak’s commitment to us.
We found our forever home in River Forest, IL working with Patti as our agent, and could not have asked for a better person to have on our side. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and pays attention to every detail of each and every home. As a buyer this means we really had a realistic picture of each homes assets and quirks to help inform our decision. Our closing process was drawn out due to an unforeseen issue with the house, and Patti went the extra mile to make sure we were informed buyers, and were under no pressure. She was genuine, honest, and trustworthy throughout the entire process, and I would recommend Patti to all my friends and family.
Zak is an outstanding realtor. He is professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He has good vision and foresight for a property. He is a good listener and answers questions directly. He is also connected to a great network of people and resources.
My wife and I worked with Zak for about 2 months while we searched for a home in Oak Park/Western Suburbs. He knows the area well and had good recommendations on areas to focus on. He was always friendly to deal with, is very responsive to emails and phone calls, and is generally very easy and enjoyable to work with.
In short, he has basically all the characteristics that I would want in a real estate agent. He truly cares about his clients and wants you to be happy in your new home. I will absolutely work with him again if I am selling or buying a home. I cannot recommend him more highly.
Patti did a great time for us in our home search. She got to know us, understood what we were looking for, steered us clear of dead ends, and pointed us towards the best options. When negotiating, she could drive a hard bargain, but was always realistic. Thanks to Patti, we found the right house for our family.
I have done two deals with Zak. The first was to by my current restaurant, it was complicated, it took a long time but Zak kept the deal alive, and without him Big Guys Sausage Stand would not exist. The second deal was for a two flat we just bought, it was part of a first time home buyers program. It too was complicated, lots of red tape, nevertheless we closed and Zak was great the whole way through.
