For the sale of our condo, our communication was fluid, he was consistently available for calls, and he made my part very easy. He explained what needed to be explained and handled things accordingly.
I highly recommend working with him. read less

As first time home buyers, we began this process with a different realtor and did not have a positive experience. We almost walked away from the buying process all together.

Caroline was/is an informative & tenacious realtor. We learned so much about every aspect of the process. She listened to our needs and respected our financial parameters. Caroline was always positive and kept our spirits high. We can not recommend her enough, and if and when we want to sell, she will be our realtor again read less

Chris’s knowledge of real estate, the local market and the way to market in today’s digital world really gave our home prime exposure. We received a fair value for our house thanks to Chris’ efforts in also letting other local realtors know that the house was out there and available for a reasonable price. Because Chris had spent so much time with us as sellers, he also made the perfect real estate agent on the buying side. By the time we got to the house we bought, he was fully aware of what we needed in our final nesting place. He always found time to work with me and both of us are very busy. He introduced us to the possibility of a different location which we would not have looked at and as a result we found a wonderful home at our price. read less

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with working with Chris. He was incredibly responsive and called me back the first day I demonstrated interest in a property. He set up a day of walkthroughs and gave me his honest opinion of each property. When I decided on the place that I fell in love with, he expedited the offer and reassured me through the process. It's obvious by working with Chris that he loves his job, enjoys working with people, and has many years of experience. I would definitely work with Chris again! read less

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Chris; he’s extremely knowledgable and will guide you every step of the way. When it comes to touring houses, negotiating an offer, closing, and more, Chris will far exceed your expectations. Chris is very experienced and has seen it all before; this will pay off if you have a unique situation (in my case, being an out-of-town buyer).

When I started my search, it was immediately clear how knowledgeable Chris is. He was able to answer all of my questions about a variety of neighborhoods in the city and suburbs, often giving great examples from memory of specific blocks and properties that might be a good fit. When touring properties, Chris was patient and helpful -- he even suggested that we take a second look at several properties, which ultimately helped me decide what I wanted. Chris also has a good deal of contractor type knowledge and was able to give insight on what repairs/costs I might need to consider as we toured various properties. Chris is a very good negotiator and will help you get the best deal; for both of my purchases, Chris was able to negotiate even lower than what I thought our best case scenario was.

Whatever your goal is, Chris will go the extra mile to help you make it happen. I just closed a property in Oak Park that I plan to rent out. Because I live in California and have a busy travel schedule it was going to be difficult for me to coordinate the necessary repairs and secure a tenant in a timely manner. Chris offered to find a tenant for me, AND coordinate the flooring & painting upgrades that were needed before the tenant moved in. For two weeks after the sale had closed, Chris was coordinating these upgrades on my behalf! You will not find another agent who is as capable, or cares more about his clients. If you’re reading this consider yourself lucky -- you’ve just come across the best agent in the business: Chris Garvey! read less

When I first considered buying in Oak Park, I met with a few agents, and I have to say that none came close to Chris's general knowledge of the area, the market and his experience. Moving through the buying process was brilliant; I never once felt under pressure, and Chris was always available to view homes or for questions. When it came to making the offer, Chris is definitely the guy you want on your side. read less

Chris Garvey helped us search through hundreds of properties and gave us honest and accurate assessments of many, many homes and mult unit buildings. Always ready to help 24/7! Super friendly and always on time too!!! We could not have done it without him. If you are looking for an honest realtor that makes you feel at ease through the whole process, we highly recommend Chris Garvey. read less

His knowledge of the real estate industry is vast and it shows through his work during the entire process. He is honest and transparent; he makes you well aware of what options you have and what you are getting into. Chris is extremely flexible and is always available to meet or talk and due to the amount of years of experience, he has multiple resources and contacts that a home buyer might need for any questions, issues or concerns that come up! It was a pleasure working with Chris and I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends. read less

He sold the house we lived in and found the house we bought.He was always very on top of things. What I like to refer to as mentally well organized. He made me feel like I was his only client when we worked together. (Obviously, he couldn't make a living if that were true.) But, it was his memory of what I liked, didn't like, the purchase price I was looking towards, on and on that made me feel that my needs for both the sale and the purchase were important. read less

He was so knowledgeable of the area, and knew exactly what we were looking for. He really helped guide our decision making and was so patient as we saw over 30+ houses with our two young children in tow. We trusted him implicitly and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house! After dealing with a number of realtors over the years, Chris was absolutely the best and we will definitely work with him again if the need presents itself. read less

We appreciated his no pressure, low stress approach to the house hunting phase as we explored neighborhoods in Oak Park, but when we decided it was "time", he was all-in with us. His knowledge of the area was extremely helpful to us, and appreciated his timely response to questions and advice about the local market. From beginning to end, it was a sincere pleasure working with him. read less
