Chris grew up in the area and has an amazing knowledge of the buildings and history. He was super responsive, day or night, to any and all of our questions. Chris was always willing to give us suggestions, but when we made a decision he was 100% supportive even if it wasn't his suggestion, and bent over backwards to make it work. He really made sure the whole process went smoothly, from our first searches to closing day. My wife and I would highly recommend Chris! read less

We needed to move to Oak Park from another state (during the Covid pandemic) and he helped us by giving recommendations, doing FaceTime videos to look at homes, and knowing just about everything about Oak Park.

From start to finish he was patient in our search and extremely knowledgeable about the OPRF and surrounding areas. He never hesitated to tell us the good, the bad, and sometimes ugly about potential properties to ensure we were making the right choice for the right value for our family.

Chris is extremely down to earth and genuinely cares about his clients. Whether you are buying or selling your home, we cannot recommend him highly enough. 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
