Michelle was so very helpful and involved in our home buying. I have worked with many realtors in the Chicago area, and she is the most earnest and proactive agent around. She recently helped my wife and I through a grueling closing with some difficult sellers and lenders. She made us feel supported and treated us like family. I highly recommend.

I worked with Sherry of the Kite team. I cannot recommend Sherry and her colleagues enough. Following a divorce, and facing complex and expensive parenting time litigation, I was in a property that every single professional I had spoken to had deemed impossible to sell. I had been exploring a sale for years while trying to pay a loan down. Finer details aside, the property's recovery following the collapse of 2007 was strained for reasons I could not control. The issues left me fearing I'd have to foreclose strategically. I contacted the Kite team after reading reviews similar to this one.

We worked with Katy Dito for our fairly last minute cross-country move. She was very professional, educated, and timely with responses. We were buying sight unseen in an area wed never been to but felt we could trust her knowledge and expertise when it came to the area. We were beyond satisfied when we finally got to see the house ourselves and love the location, our commute, and the home itself!The best buyers agent Ive worked with!

My home-buying experience with Michelle Russell was so easy & so successful, I cant recommend her enough! Shes warm, knowledgeable, very professional, and knows her market. Michelle asked the right questions & understood exactly what I was looking for. She provided a wide range of homes for me to view and I never felt rushed to make a decision. It didnt take long for me to find the one and she provided the guidance I needed to get through some unusual challenges toward the end. Through it all Michelle was there for me and made my home purchase an incredibly smooth process. I couldnt

Our family ended up purchasing a home through The Kite Team thanks to Halina our realtor. It was the best decision we have ever made. So after speaking with a handful of realtors in the summer of 2021 we felt a bit overwhelmed due to being told that we would most likely have to pay more then whatever asking price of a property we saw. That did not sit well with us. We told all contacts we were patient in our search and that we were not really interested in doing so. All rebuttal was that this is how it was and that's how it was going to be. On our last search we called The Kite Team. There was

Good lord no, being on time and looking out for your interest in the last thing on there mind. I really hope I never cross paths with Michelle there ever, because I have a few words for her.

Sherry and the entire KW Kite team were great to work with throughout the entire process. Whenever we had questions or concerns, Sherry was ready and willing to discuss/act on whatever we needed. Selling a home can be a stressful experience - however, if you work with a realtor like, The Kite team at KellerWilliams, it makes for a smooth/less stressful process.
