Barbara O'Connor sold my home this summer (July 2010) in the Budlong Woods area of Chicago. She is an expert in the field and I would say without a doubt one of the top real estate agents in the Chicago area. It's not just Barbara's professionalism that makes her exceptional but more than that it is her compassion and understanding of the individual seller who she represents. ...

With all of the chaos surrounding our two moves and wedding that followed shortly after we never got the chance to properly thank you for all of our help with the sale of our condo. We were just saying we can't believe it was a year ago already! Thanks again for all of your help; I can't tell you how much it helped having someone in our corner during what was a really stressful time for ...

Thank you. I can't tell you how nice it was to work with you and your staff. I hope we can work together again. It meant so much to me that you cared about me as a person and not just a client. I can not even begin to express how grateful I am to have had you as my Real Estate agent. Thank you for all of your time and help getting me into my new home! I am so happy and excited with my de...

We are all breathing a whole lot easier now and are so grateful that the sale went through successfully. Thank you, on behalf of my entire family, for everything you did to help make this process a lot less difficult. We are very happy we chose you as our realtor and we will be recommending you in the future. M. Blocker, Edgewater

"Top shelf" - "Couth, class and excellence" the words that come to mind when I think of you. M. Soehgen, Edgewater

As for Barbara O'Connor, she is a highly competent real estate agent and an important part of the Edgewater team. She worked hard to sell this development and the fact that she succeeded made Edgewater more attractive to other businesses and developers. The success of this development was not a slam-dunk. It was (pardon the pun) breaking new ground by offering high quality houses at a ne...

I am writing to commend the service my wife, Vickie, and I received from your agent, Barbara O'Connor and her team, Mary Herman, Jen Geu, and Donna Theisinger. From listing to closing, Barbara arranged and managed the process of the selling of our condo with a level of courtesy and expertise that should thrill you, given the positive reflection her professionalism has o...

In making my decision for a professional Realtor, Barbara O'Connor came to mind. I came across her on a piece pf property I was buying. She represented the seller. She was very detailed oriented and it was apparent that she knew the market well. When I had made the decision to list my property, Barbara was with Koening & Strey. About 3 months after Barbara had listed my property, she had...

David is not a gusher, and I am, sometimes to a fault. But I think a little gushing is appropriate here. Colin told me when we first signed the listing on Racine, that short sales can be long and messy but that he and Barbara don't quit. Both of those predictions were accurate here. I still have no idea how your team managed to sell Racine and find such a solid buyer for Halsted, and kee...

Sincerely, the services of Team O'Connor-Hebson changed my family's life, and allowed us to move on from what felt like a very dark, endless tunnel into a happy, sunny new life in our LSD co-op just as Baby #2 came to join us. I cannot thank you enough for your expertise and steadfastness throughout. I have already recommended you to several friends and colleagues and will continue to do...

Heather and I are so glad to have worked together and couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish you really took control of the situation and got things done... from staging, showing, open house and pursuing every lead out there I was very happy with your aggressive pursuit of a buyer and I think we got top dollar for it which makes me happy. Thank you! Matt Bosman

Barbara and team showed their metal on this one and it's not lost on us. Thank you again. Al & Barb

A quick note from the sunny south to tell you "hi" and to say that WE SURE WISH your territory extended down here (Tampa area). Having dealt with a Realtor or two since we arrived, we now can say for certain what we felt so strongly in Chicago: You are one in a million!! No one else we talk to seems as smart/real/sincere/competent/nice as you are. Your clients up there are just LUCKY (!)...

We had used Dream Town before and were pleased with the experience. They helped us to sell our home and to also find a new one. We would use them again.

I want both of you to know how much Gary and I appreciate all the professional advice and personal touch you have both brought to selling our house. We interviewed 4 other realtors, and every one of them suggested that our top dollar price was $375,000, and some of them suggested that we would only get that if we invested a few thousand in fixing it up. You were the only team that saw th...

I owe you and your team an incredible amount of thanks for supporting me throughout the process. I am indeed glad it's over! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to get the place sold. I will be recommending your Dream Town team to anyone who is buying or selling a house in Chicago. You are beyond easy to work with and did a tremendous job.

Barbara O'Connor is a fantastic realtor! She gave us recommendations that surprised us. Like leaving some of the colors on the walls. And keeping up a few personal photos out so perceptive buyers felt like this was a home. Barbara did her research and shared her recommended listing price with us for our condo. She was spot on! We had a bidding war after only a week...

I'm delighted to celebrate my career as a realtor and my own 10-year anniversary. Barbara O'Connor has been a phenomenal role model and mentor! I'm so grateful to have her and my old pal Yehuda at the Lincoln Square office for day-to-day support. I proudly closed over $10M in sales last year and have achieved a seat among the top 35 agents of the company. I'd like to thank the management...

Great combination of personal and professional; patient yet challenging as necessary. Exactly the kind of "partnership" I was looking for.

I have been using her for over a dozen years. She sold a Lake Shore Drive 3 bedroom condo for me in 2 weeks - full price. She sold my Edgewater 3 flat in 10 days $29,000 over asking. Want to sell? Call Barbara.

Barb, I'm sure glad that we hired you to sell our parents house at 5507 N. Artesian, which was in our family for 59 years! Your efforts went way, way beyond our expectations including: 1. Getting us at least $50,000 more than we expected for the house. 2. Going way beyond the call of duty to handle many issues that came up along the way. 3. You always exuded the utmost p...

Barbara and her team did an excellent job selling our home. Not only did she go above and beyond to have the most beautiful photos taken of our property, she also had a professional videographer create an awesome video, take drone footage, and she also had some virtual staging images created to show potential buyers what they could also do to enhance the space. Additionally, Barbara made...

Working with Barbara and her team is always a great experience. They are always fair, very on top of everything and always a pleasure to be around. Barbara and James were both excellent agents who, while doing a great job representing their client, were very easy to work with.

Working with Barbara, Hilary and team was a pleasure. They took away the stress from selling the house, took a very proactive approach and communicated effectively throughout the entire process! I'd definitely recommend Barbara and Hilary for any real estate needs.

Barbara assisted us in the purchase of our home, and her wisdom, experience, and stellar industry reputation were crucial in our success. We saw our home the day after it was listed for sale, and Barbara expertly negotiated and locked in our contract in just a few hours, before anyone else had a chance to submit an offer. She and Claire made the process feel so easy and seamless, and tre...

We count our blessings over the Barbara O'Connor Team! We have not had ONE thing that we did not like about how you took care of us, the whole experience has been amazing.

Experience matters. Barbara O'Connor is the consummate real estate professional. Her knowledge of market dynamics, proper listing price and overall strategy is unparalleled. Barbara and her team clearly understood how to sell our home. She communicated with us every step of the process, which removed all the stress. We highly, highly recommend Barbara and her team.

I cannot thank you enough for your time and work in selling my West Loop condo. I sincerely appreciated your expertise, willingness to answer my questions, make yourself available at all hours and share your vast resources! I am grateful. I look forward to us working together in the future.

I have had the pleasure of working with Barbara O’Connor for over 20 years . I have NEVER known or worked with another broker who was more diligent, honest and effective than Barbara. The O’Connor group which now includes her equally amazing and hard working broker/daughters Hilary and Claire have sold over 400 properties for me and done so in an extremely profes...

Barbara, Hillary, Claire, Thank you for the unbelievable service in selling our home and finding a home for us. Sold our home in 3 days for over asking and found us a beautiful place in Mt Prospect..We were treated like family by all on the Barbara O'Connor Group. Calls were returned immediately if they couldn't pick up. We were informed every step of the process. Cant say enough about B...

Barbara and the entire O'Conner team....Thank you!!! This has been a great experience with your team.

Thank you for everything! Throughout this process you all have been so professional, worked incredibly hard, and have been so kind to my father and our family.

I can’t speak highly enough about Claire and our experience working with her. As first-time home buyers, she really helped us navigate the whole process from start to finish, easing so many of the anxieties that come with “entering the market.” She was always available to chat, and she always had our best interests in mind. Claire also knows Chicago and the market like...

Wonderful, welcoming, kind people who work hard and communicate 24/7 to get the place you want as quickly, swiftly, and at the right price. Claire was my agent and she made sure all my questions were answered along with communicating all the time throughout the process of purchasing and closing. I always felt I was in good hands with entrusting the O'Connor Group.

I continue to be so grateful to you for helping me. You went above and beyond for me, and I haven’t forgotten. Thank you again!
