Client Testimonials

Chris was absolutely fantastic! 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.

To Have Chris Using His Expertise On Our Behalf Was "The ABSOLUTE BEST DECISION" We Could Have Made. Chris Grew to Understand Our Preferences Rather Quickly, Yet Remained Constantly Professional, Courtious and Informative.

Sincerely, WE THANK YOU CHRIS!!!

Great, Patient, respectful , always on time, helpful, complete knowledge of the city, he sold my apartment and found also a new one for me in one week. He gave us lots of advice and was very clever in helping me with the appraisal of my sell.

Chris was awesome. He helped me move into my first condo. He also helped do all the paper work and found a awesome attorney for me. Chris was also by his phone 24/7 to answer any questions I had. If you want the best guy in Chicagoland use Chris!!!!!

After having such a great experience buying our first home with Chris, we turned to him when we were selling our home and could not be happier with the results. He gave us amazing advice and tips on how to present our home while still living in it, and we ended up selling immediately, which was our wish since we had to move across country! As first time home sellers we appreciated him walking us through the process. Also I want to mention that Chris truly knows the real estate industry like the back of his hand. When we were in the midst of buying our new house and farm in Vermont and were having trouble with the seller agent and mortgage companies, Chris helped us out even with those stressful issues even though there was nothing in it for him! Chris is just an amazing guy.

As buyers from out of state, Chris did an excellent job as our "eyes on the ground" as we sought to find a condo in Oak Park. His familiarity with the community and the market were invaluable during the search process. He kept us informed about properties that fit our criteria and sent photos and videos to help us understand each property. Chris attended the inspection when we got the condo under contract since we could not and he kept us appraised as we progressed through the purchase process to close. Chris was responsive and easy to work with, and very helpful to us during the search and purchase process. We heartily recommend Chris if you need assistance with a real estate transaction in the greater Oak Park Area.

He was very friendly and helpful. Always willing to show whatever property we wanted. He always made time to show us different properties. I would recommend him to anyone.

Chris has been a great help and a pleasure to work with for the sale of our condo and the purchase of our house. He was always available, very responsive and thorough in his evaluation of properties.
We can definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking for a smooth and turnkey selling and buying process.

If you’re looking for a buyers agent for Oak Park / River Forest stop reading and call Chris now. We could not have asked for a better partner in all facets of the search. Chris intimately knows OPRF and he REALLY knows these old houses, their history, and their construction. We toured many houses to get a sense of the area and his insight gave us great confidence to buy our 98 year old house with eyes wide open to what was good about it and what needed some love. He’s also a strong negotiator willing to play ball. Choosing Chris was the best decision we could have made!

This was my first experience buying a home and Chris made it completely painless! 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!

Chris has been a blessing to us! He is beyond amazing! His experience on the filed makes your house-hunting process fun and enjoyable. He is honest, always available and very charismatic. I recommend him 100%!

Chris was very helpful guiding us through our first home purchase. He was always available for questions and was extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Chris has been a great resource during our search for a home in Oak Park. We spent well over a year looking for a home. Chris was patient and available for showings whenever we requested and sincerely enjoyed viewing and educating his clients on the homes. He provided useful advice based on his experience of showing homes and living in Oak Park. He is also honest and upfront about valuations, neighborhoods and other considerations when viewing and considering a home purchase.

Again a great resource to have when making one of the largest purchases in one's life. Thanks for all of your help.

I was a first time home buyer and had no idea how to go about the process . I had a previous agent that I felt was pressuring me above my budget as well taking me to listings that I didn’t want to see. Chris was referenced to me so I gave him a shot . One of the best decisions I made . He assisted me in finding a home that I love and can make my own ! I felt very comfortable with him . Chris was very knowledgeable about not only the property, but the area as well as what may need to be fixed. I’m very thankful to have had Chris as my realtor ! I will definitely be referencing him to anyone who is looking!

Chris has been a blessing to us! He is beyond amazing! His experience on the filed makes your house-hunting process fun and enjoyable. He is honest, always available and very charismatic. I recommend him 100%!

Chris Garvey is FANTASTIC!After employing him for both a sale of a condo in Oak Park, a purchase of a three-story home in Forest Park, and the sale of two condos in Evanston, Illinois, we can’t say enough wonderful things about him! He and his Team hit a grand slam every single time! We kept hiring him because he’s the right guy for the job!He absolutely loves what he does. He loves his communities. He takes the care, the time, and the resources needed for each task involved in the process, and he pays the attention to detail that is necessary to get the sale and/or purchase done right and done quickly. He has knowledge about Oak Park real estate and history and the surrounding Chicago areas, like no other. His accessibility is unparalleled. Chris Garvey exceeded our expectations every time, in every way. He has obviously devoted his life to this stuff! It is his passion and an experience he loves ... with each individual client, with each of his families, and each of his neighborhoods.Unlike all the others realtors out there (whether local, regional, or national), his knowledge extends to all of the other stuff that you need to know about before and after (and, of course, throughout) the sale/purchase process, e.g., he knows the best contractors, developers, and lawyers, and he has an unmatched working knowledge relative to local and state ordinances and laws and construction, engineering, remodeling, decorating, and design. If he doesn’t, he makes sure to acquire the knowledge and information for you, so that you don’t have to do the work. ... so that you do not have to worry.In short, you get so much more than a realtor when you hire Chris Garvey and his Team!You absolutely won’t be disappointed. We promise!CHRIS GARVEY IS YOUR GUY!Jennifer & David(We have not in any way been paid by Chris to say the above. In fact, please contact Chris if you would like to speak to us about our experience. We believe in him and his Team so much that we are willing to give our time to share our wonderful experiences with him.)

Chris is the definition of true professionalism. 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.

Chris is absolutely the best! We bought and sold a house using his team, after a year passed he was still there for me helping me to solve random things and supporting in other requests! His service goes away beyond the post sale...
