Lou was the perfect fit in representing and marketing my 1951 Edward Humrich home. His connections with and involvement in the Chicago area mid-century modern architecture world is unmatched. Lou was prompt in replying to queries; he truly listened to my opinions, hopes, and concerns; and he was straightforward throughout the process.

Thanks Lou!

We love Lou. He's not just a realtor. He's an historian. Lou is very knowledgeable about architecture and fun to be around. He drove us all over the place. We found our house in less than a week.

It was such a pleasure to work with Lou! His expertise with MCM homes was a huge benefit. He understood the nuances of our home and knew how to highlight its value, even going so far as to write an article on the home. He was also super attentive and willing to answer any questions we had. Additionally, Lou was particularly great at laying out information and explaining all the details i...

Working with Lou Zucaro and Baird & Warner on the sale of our house in North Barrington, IL was as smooth as it could be. Lou was super responsive, knew his stuff, and gave us expert advice all along the way. He's such a lovely person with such a great attitude. He went above and beyond when needed. And as soon as the home went on the market, we had tons of traffic coming through to look...

We couldn't be happier working with Lou as our realtor to sell our Mid Century Modern home in Elgin. Lou understands the MCM real estate inside and out and we especially appreciate the time he took to interview us about the history of the home and research the home's architect. His newsletter and listing description captured the special characteristics of the home that made it ...

I have nothing but great things to say about Lou. He was professional, very responsive, and really helped to sell our unique home quickly and for top dollar. He was extremely knowledgeable and had great insights and expertise. I am so glad that we chose him to be our realtor. I highly recommend Lou.

We couldn't have been happier working with Lou Zucaro and his entire team. Whether you are looking to buy or sell (we did both with him), he will look out for your best interest in every way. Complete transparency, knowledge, and guidance throughout the entire home buying/selling process. Lou is an amazing realtor and now has become a great friend. And if you have a love for mid-century ...

Lou did a great job marketing and sellingmy parents' house in Barrington. He was sensitive both to what makes this home special and the challenges I faced in letting it go. He was highly professional communicated well and was willing to take the time to answer all my questions. He went above and beyond just putting the home on MLS, he provided a detailed write-up about the home's history...

Lou is the consummate professional to me. He was so helpful and awesome when I purchased this property that I contacted him for when it was time for me to sell it almost 10 years later. Loads of appreciation to Lou.

We can not thank you enough for helping us with yet another selling of one of our homes. Lou, you are a professional through and through. Your attention to detail and knowledge of Mid Century Modern homes is incredible and speaks volumes.

Lou was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge of mid-century modern, his networking and marketing, and his personal committment to excellence made selling our home a delight.

It was a pleasure working with Lou. He responded to all our queries in a timely manner.

We feel very fortunate to have Lou as our real estate agent as first time home buyers! We managed to purchase a home that checked all our boxes while living out of state in a very difficult market. Lou was very responsive and made a point to get to viewings asap whenever there was a home we were interested in. We greatly appreciated his honest feedback and commitment to ensure we never p...

Excellent real estate agent. Knows the market and how to negotiate.

Working with Lou was a pleasure. He correctly researched what the selling price should be for my house so that when the buyers had an appraisal done it was right on the mark. He also arranged a cleaning service and stagers that were excellent. I enjoyed a quick sale with an excellent sale price.

Lou was recommended by folks we met who had already escaped to TN. Because of Covid; the economy; personal health issues; and "it's IL," this was a two year process. Lou was always available [except when driving] and his explanations were both patient and helpful, especially when we received low ball offers. After the movers soiled the rugs and we awaited a settlement from the moving com...

Lou is an excellent and has the experience to help sell any house.

Lou is incredible! He is incredibly knowlegable and passionate about Mid Century Modern homes. I really did not know how I was going to sell this house as these houses are very different than many other homes. I ended up not even talking to any other realtor because it was clear to me that he was the right person. He grew up in the town I grew up in and knows people I know. He sold a hom...

Lou Zucaro was a delight to work with from beginning to end. His presentation before we hired him was thorough and let us know exactly what to expect from him and from the home selling process. Because we were selling an newly inherited home, he guided us -- correctly, we are certain -- to offering it for sale "as is," and helped us determine what small items we would fix before going on...

To say that I feel that Lou is the best Realtor I have worked with would be an understatement. I have had two transactions with Lou, we bought and then sold a house in Bartlett with Lou's help. His support and attention to detail were exemplary. We had a difficult time getting the sale of the house to stick with many deposits. He stuck with us for over a year and continued to allow and s...

I have worked with many realtors over the past 20 years, as a real estate investor and a homeowner. Lou is the best by far. He has a passion for architecture and goes the extra distance to find you a home you will love.

Lou was great to work with. We were in a competitive bidding situation on an incredible mid-century gem. His encyclopedic knowledge of mid-century architects and architecture and deep local experience were critical to getting our offer accepted. Vintage / architectural home sales can be more complex than average, and he was able to steer us through the entire process. He always made time...

Lou is without question a 5-star realtor. He touches all bases, with an excellent knowledge of mid-century design, excellent knowledge of what potential byers of mid-century modern homes are looking for, and excellent knowledge of what the market for these homes will bear. His marketing prowess is beyond reproach. He put together an excellent program of marketing our home for sale, ...

Thank you for understanding how much the landscape surrounding a house and the country feeling is important to me. Your help in determining what layout might be most convenient and practical on a day to day basis was thoughtful and understandable. I enjoyed your sense of humor and your knowledge of various real estate procedures. Thanks so much for your attention to my needs and wishes. ...

Lou was a pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable about the market and understood the advantages my home had to offer a buyer. He did a great job marketing my home and started before we even had the listing go online. His advice and guidance during the time I was preparing my home for the market and during the selling and closing process was invaluable. Lou is an amiable individual an...

Lou was great to work with and knew how to focus our search. He really listened to what we were looking for. He was very easy to reach and always responded promptly. He checked in with us on a regular basis and was great at communicating next steps. Despite looking for a house during the COVID-19 pandemic, he was still able to share the local culture and atmosphere so we were able to get...

Lou is not only a fantastic agent but he is a truly genuine human being. Every step of the way he cared about the process. Lou was attentive and responsive, going the extra mile to make sure everything looked impeccable. This was my first time selling a home and I am so grateful I chose Lou and Baird and Warner.

Lou was wonderfully helpful in these trying times. We were lucky to have found someone who knows the market and knows how to represent unique homes. We would highly recommend Lou to both buyers and sellers who can be assured of working with an experienced professional. Joe and Laura

Lou is the absolute best! We reached out to him for help finding our MidCentury Modern dream house and six months later we closed on just that! Lou was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process: from looking at multiple houses, through putting in an offer and guiding us through the closing process. He was super attentive, responsive to questions and just a dang pleasure to be aroun...

Lou Zucaro provided an excellent service and support in our process of buying the house in West Dundee. My daughters and I are extremely happy with the purchase and are greatful to our fantastic real estate broker.

We had chosen to work with Lou to sell our home after a extensive interview process – it was the right decision.  Selling a house is a process that requires both art and science.  Lou was able to successfully deploy the latest technology to showcase our special home.  It also requires in depth market knowledge and regional expertise, Lou excelled.    Lou also brought a level of tr...

It was a pleasure to work with Lou Zucaro during our home search and purchasing process. He was extremely responsive and knowledgeable (without being pushy) and had a keen eye for design and architectural elements. He was patient when we needed time and happily showed us several properties until we found our match. Once the buying process kicked in, he constantly encouraged the process f...

Lou was extremely professional at all times. He went into great detail to explain how he came up with his market research to develop a recommended selling price for our Mid Century Modern home. He's very knowledgeable about our style of home which was a great advantage in selling it to prospective buyers. He was very responsive in answering our questions either via phone on via e-...

Lou! You were the perfect person to sell our family home. Your appreciation and knowledge was sincere and always beyond helpful. When you are selling a special home you need a special person to take good care and to pass that information on. The nuts and bolts of information ranging from stove top knobs to 50 year old plumbing was a godsend. We truly enjoyed you spirit and the exce...

From the outset and throughout the process, Lou made himself extremely available to us. It was extremely gratifying to work with someone who genuinely appreciated the unique house we were selling and its many special features. (One reason we chose to work with Lou was his passion for modern architecture. We soon discovered another compelling reason: his clear love of what he does and fu...

Lou was extremely helpful in our home search from the very beginning all the way up until the very end. This was our first time buying a home so we had a lot of questions. I work in an industry where you're often answering a lot of questions for people who don't understand your industry at all. Lou nailed it. He never once made us feel dumb or that we were being sold something we didn't ...

Lou was a fantastic resource for us while finding a home in Lake County. We looked for months as we learned about the area and he was familiar many of the North Shore communities with modern homes. He accommodated our schedule and always had well organized plans in place prior to showing. Lou is trustworthy, honest and hard working. We now consider him our friend.

Lou listened very well and incorporated our story into the marketing plan. The exposure was exemplary. The price was right. Lou is a professional and we will recommend.

We first heard about Lou from a letter we received saying how much he loved our house and his association with the Modern Illinois organization. After reading his letter and learning more about his love for mid-century architecture, we knew when the time came to put our house on the market, Lou would be our broker. Well that time came and Lou became our listing agent in June 2017. We...

My husband and I recently had to move to the North Chicago area from Atlanta, GA and were looking for a Mid-Century Modern or Contemporary design dream home. We were so fortunate to find Lou Zucaro from an online search and were thrilled to find someone specializing in MCM and modern design. Lou was so communicative, helpful and thorough in his dealings with us prior to our house-hunti...

He does more than helping you sell/ buy houses. He has extensive knowledge of MCM and that's his passion. Every step of the way he was very helpful. Occasionally we got out bid and didn't get an offer and discouraged, he was there to encourage and motivate us. We highly recommend Lou.

My wife and I had not been involved in any type of real estate transaction in over 20 years so when it came time to sell my parents home we not only had the stress of not being familiar with the "process" involved in selling a home but for me, the emotional stress of selling my parents home, the home I grew up in; in stepped Lou Zucaro. Lou was extremely patient and informative throughou...

When our family decided to move to Chicago, we had concerns that we would not be able to find a home that met our design sensibility and budget.  We were so lucky to have come across Lou’s website and posting for mid-century modern homes - we had found our realtor!  Lou found our absolute dream home.  The house was actually under contract when we found it but because he knew the l...

Lou was awesome from beginning to end! Lou listened to us and understood our needs. He gave us space when we needed it, and did everything he possibly could to resolve problems when they came up.

Lou exemplifies a real estate agent - personable, knowledgeable & professional!

Lou has always responded within a couple of hours if not immediately. He is very knowledgeable and most helpful in every area that I ask about. I Will continue working with him and would definitely recommend him to others.

Lou got me in touch with various resources that I might want to use during the sale of my townhouse. I met with stagers, movers, lawyers and made my decisions on what I wanted and needed. He also placed the information about my house with all the housing websites such as MLS, Trulia, Zillow Realtor.com as well as his own company,Baird & Warner. He had a professional photographer take...
