P. SCHAR

We recently bought a home with Mario and Joe. Our positive experience made our decision to now sell a home through them as well. We needed 2 things in an agent. Someone we can trust and someone who is great at their job. When you are making such a large investment as a home, with all of the difficulties that come with it…. you want people you can trust to represent you and your best interests. You will not find better people to deal with that Mario and Joe. They are professionals, they know their job inside and out, and they know real estate as a whole. They’re also good human beings, they understand the tough decisions, and difficult choices that come along with buying and selling a house. They more than exceeded our expectations, couldn’t be happier. *FYI.. Mario and Joe just knocked our second dealing with them out of the park. Outstanding work from these two again.

Mario was fantastic to work with. It was my first time selling a place and he walked me through the process. Mario and Joe were great with updates and very attentive to our needs. Super knowledgeable, a true pro. I couldn’t have been happier with the process. I would recommend Mario to all of my family and friends.

D. OKLEPEK

We would highly recommend Mario! We rented a property, sold our home and purchased our new home all at the same time, which can be a bit overwhelming, but Mario and Joe ensured that everything went smoothly (all within a two-month period). With Mario as our agent, we were able to find qualified tenants for a property within a month and receive an offer on our current home within three days for more than asking price. During the process of purchasing our new home, we really trusted Mario’s guidance and knowledge and he was consistently able to negotiate for our best interest in what seemed like a very long process! We have worked with several realtors in the past and can honestly say that we felt most comfortable with Mario. He knows his clients well and is extremely knowledgeable. Joe was able to keep us so organized and informed and both Mario and Joe are very responsive to any client needs, whether it be getting a quick showing or answering any questions or concerns. We truly appreciated all of their work during the process!

A KAPLANOVIC

I can tell you that I would definitely recommend Mario and his team. This was our first time buying a house and we had no clue about anything. Mario DiLorenzo was there each step of the way and so was his team, whenever we didn’t know something or had questions they always had an answer and was very quick about getting back to us. Very professional and understanding not like many realtors that would just want to make there money and be done. You being happy is there goal and we are very thankful for that.

Mario and his team helped my wife and I find the perfect property to build our home. Mario was the calming presence throughout the entire process, worked closely with the listing agent, and helped get to a purchase price that satisfied both sides. Once we agreed on the purchase price, he and Joe from his team walked us through everything we needed to close the sale in a short time frame. They left no stone unturned, and made the experience extremely enjoyable. Mario’s intimate knowledge of the neighborhood helped us find the perfect location at the right price point. We highly recommend Mario and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

I am a first time home buyer and was very impressed and also very comfortable working with Laura, Mario, and Joe. I want to thank you all for making this experience so great.

Kayla

We could not thank Laura, Mario and the rest of the Keller-William team enough! We are first time home buyers and Laura, Mario and Joe have made the process very manageable and enjoyable for us. They made us feel comfortable and confident through every step. Laura helped us to narrow in on our ideal neighborhood – she went knocking on doors (for unlisted properties), which then lead us to our perfect home!! We were able to get a home that was not even on the market yet – not many people can say that! She exceeded all of our expectations and we are forever thankful. Laura gave us SO much support throughout the process. If we wanted to call her at 9PM, she was there to talk. We would highly recommend using Laura, Mario and the rest of the Keller-Williams team for your next home purchase.

Our home buying process took 2 years due to how picky we were. We also got married and had a kid in the process. Throughout Mario and his team (special thanks to Joe, an unsung hero) worked tirelessly for our family to find a place to call home. It is with utmost honor that I strongly recommend that if you have the opportunity to work with Mario and his team, you take full advantage. It will be one of the best decisions you make.

JASON M

Worked closely with Mario and Joseph to quickly sell our home. Mario’s listing strategy pulled in multiple offers within the first 24 hours of open house. Mario always had our best interests in mind. He maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Mario and his team!

In a word, Mario is amazing. Now, I know that word gets overused these days, but in Mario’s case it could only be replaced with fabulous, fantastic, awesome, etc., etc. Mario and I have worked together since 2012. He’s represented me in renting my timber loft twice since then – both times to renters who were absolutely perfect and extended their leases. Then, he represented me in selling that same loft. The process was smooth and completely hassle free. He was there every step of the way leading the process, answering questions and providing guidance. And, Mario went above and beyond to be there when I couldn’t to ensure my best interests were kept. I truly appreciate Mario’s professionalism, knowledge and ability to negotiate the best on my behalf – I’d definitely use him again and recommend him to family and friends.

It was a pleasure working with Mario throughout our buying process. We had a limited window to purchase a home and Mario dedicated the time to meet our deadline. He is extremely patient and knows the market well. I would highly recommend Mario to anyone interested in buying a home.

TOM YAN

We are so glad that our friend referred us to Mario. Mario always treated us like we were his most valuable client. He was most concerned with making sure that we found a home that would make us happy. Mario never pushed us into making a decision and made sure that we were aware of all the factors that could influence our decision. He was extremely knowledgable about the north suburbs and was quick to find and point out potential issues in homes. He continued to show us homes and work with us until we found the home that was right for us. Throughout the negotiating process, Mario listened to what we could afford and combined it with his market knowledge and negotiating experience to get us to the price we were looking for. We have been living in our home for a few months now, and we are so happy that we chose this house among all the properties that we saw for a full year. We are thankful that Mario genuinely wanted us to find a home that was right for us and did work above and beyond throughout the entire process to make sure it happened. We would recommend Mario to anybody looking for a home!

Mario has helped our family with two real estate transactions. He has been very helpful in finding my family a home and navigating us through the short sale of our other property. He is knowledgeable, caring, and available. We couldn’t be any happier with Mario as our agent and strongly recommend his services for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Being first time home buyers, Mario and his team were there for us every step of the way and made the whole experience of buying a home an ease! They were very patient during the search process and extremely efficient when negotiating. Mario was very helpful explaining details and making sure we understand every aspect about the purchase. We couldn’t be happier!

As a first time home buyer I was a little apprehensive about the whole process. Mario put me at ease from day one! He did his research to find properties that fit exactly what I was looking for. Mario and the rest of his team go above and beyond to help you the entire process! It was a pleasure to work with them!

JIM J.

Mario and his team enabled me and my wife to find–and close–on a condo in 2 months! We enjoyed working with Mario and his team, and we were especially pleased with Mario’s responsiveness and his skill at negotiation. Also, the references that Mario provided regarding lenders, attorneys, and contractors worked out very well for us. The closing came quickly, and proceeded smoothly. I’ll happily work with Mario again, and will refer him to family and friends.
