Marjorie Allabastro and her brother Matthew are nothing short of the best real estate brokers I have ever dealt with. My background is in real estate law, and so when it came time to engage brokers to purchase our first home, my past experience made me wary and suspicious of brokers, but Marjorie and Matthew almost instantly dissolved all my concerns. They are conscientious, knowledgea...

During the entire procedure from the initial conversation to the closing, Marjorie was a pleasure to work with. I'm not a professional real estate person so her guidance was invaluable. Her advice on from pricing to staging to counteroffers to the final closing were spot on. I always felt she  had my interests first which is what she should do. She made the entire process very easy for ...

We were extremely lucky to have Marjorie Alabastro as our real estate agent. She helped us keep calm, despite the rough communication stage with the seller. In the end we got a great property at a great price! Marjorie was flexible with scheduling and quick to respond to questions. You would love her as much as we did!

Marjorie is, simply put, the best realtor I've ever worked with. We met Marjorie by happen-stance on a home tour for a house we ended-up not buying. After looking at multiple houses over the next couple of weeks, my wife and I decided to wait on buying. Fast-forward a year when we were ready again  and we called Marjorie directly to represent us. One of the things I love about Marjorie ...

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Marjorie in the selling of our condo in Chicago. Being that we now live out of state, it was crucial to us to have a realtor/seller who was not only familiar with the current retail climate, but was also accommodating to the fact that we were a remote seller  who really needed to understand the details and nuances required in setting up and sellin...

We were so lucky to find Marjorie while purchasing our house in Chicago, she was extremely helpful, responsive, flexible and helped us during the entire process, from finding a good home to our needs all the way to the closing. We live out of state, and Marjorie's expertise was key to a good  negotiation, and a smooth closing. She provided us all the options, recommendations, and detail...

Marjorie was amazing to us, and I feel bad it took this long for a review, but we are settling down in our new house! Thanks to Marjorie by the way. Long story short Marjorie did everything in her power to help us get what we wanted and helped us walk out happy when things got a little wrinkled. I highly recommend her and will be coming back to her when we decide to sell!

We had a great experience working with Marjorie. It was the first time we were moving downtown from the suburbs and besides the size of the place, we didn’t really have a good of an idea of what we wanted. She did an awesome job funneling down the neighborhoods and then figuring out a handful of  buildings to choose from. She also has a really great online tool that after you pick whi...

Marjorie was an incredible real estate agent! As we started looking she took the time to truly understand what we were looking for. During the process she was extremely helpful showing us all the different options. She helped us find the perfect house in an incredible neighborhood. Even after  closing she is still being extremely helpful with anything we need. If you are in the Chicago ...

Marjorie worked with us for 18 months as we decided if and when we should sell our condo. She was patient with us and helpful in providing comparables and market values in the neighborhood. Once we decided to sell we were able to handle all paperwork electronically including the sale of our unit  for more than we wanted and closed in 30 days.

Marjorie was a joy to work with, both on our condo sale and house purchase. Her assessment of the market was spot on, her knowledge of pitfalls and benefits of various properties was invaluable, her effectiveness in negotiations meant more money for us, and her calm demeanor through every step of  the process helped us navigate the expected unknowns of real estate transactions. Plus, if...

I live out of town and connected with Marjorie through a previous client of hers. Marjorie did a ton a leg work before I got to town which allowed us to be efficient and focused in our search. One of the most delightful agents I have ever worked with and she is a real pro and top notch agent. Truly  the BEST!

Marjorie provides such detailed knowledge of the market, the neighborhoods, the buying and selling process, and all details ranging from minor (like repair person recommendations) to major (like pricing and negotiation approaches). It gave me great peace of mind knowing I was in such knowledgeable  and professional hands each of the two times she's represented me as a realtor - once for...

Marjorie was great to work with (so much so I did it twice). She takes the time to walk through every detail and makes you feel comfortable with the process. She partnered with me every step of the way and ensured the the process was manged perfectly. Marjorie Allabastro fan for life!

Being a first time homebuyer the process can be very overwhelming, from the first phone call where Marjorie reached out I could tell that she really cared about me and what I was looking for and not just wanting the sale as I had felt with other realtors who had called me. I had a ton of questions  and she was patient and always willing to answer a phone call or email at all times of da...

All I can say is WOW! Marjorie helped my daughter navigate the process of being a first time home buyer by going above and beyond the call of duty.

I cannot speak highly enough of the work of Marjorie Allabastro. Purchasing a home is a huge decision and I was in great hands with Marjorie. I went through two previous relators before finding her. She was the only relator who truly listened to my needs and worked to find properties to match.  Marjorie was flexible in her schedule, accommodating me as I did second and third showing wit...

Marjorie recently helped us find a rental home in a new city. This was the first time we had looked at properties in the area and Marjorie’s expertise and advice was invaluable. She showed us several properties, many times with our two kids in tow. She was very patient and helpful, and maintained  great communication throughout the entire process. Without question we will use her as o...

Marjorie is a fantastic realtor! She is professional, dependable, honest, and very thorough. I was nervous going into the process of selling our house, as we had listed before with no luck. Marjorie came in and right away gave us some good feedback on things that we should do before listing. She is  highly qualified, experienced, and well educated in the local real estate market. Marjor...

She has a vast network of  professionals that she works with, and was able to recommend folks that further made our home buying...

I can't say enough good things about Marjorie. After deciding it was time to move and sell my two bed, two bath condo in Avondale, I contacted her via Zillow after reading all of the positive reviews. She called me within a couple of hours, and after a candid, straight forward conversation over the  phone, I had a strong feeling she was the right fit for me. We met in person and my hunc...

There is not enough space in this comment box to tell how much Marjorie has assisted me in buying my first home. After several realtors and a much needed recommendation quickly, I was referred to Marjorie Allabastro. I was a little apprehensive because I was so frustrated with meeting realtors who  I felt didn't have my best interest as a first time buyer and a veteran. Well as soon as ...

This was my first home buying experience and I'm so grateful we had a wonderful partner through the process. She never pressured us into feeling we had to hurry up and put a bid in, and her recommendations for an attorney was a huge added bonus. Marjorie was very responsive to e-mails, texts and  phone calls and was prompt, transparent and organized. She was knowledgeable about the neig...

Marjorie was very professional throughout the process. She is friendly and provides her honest opinion on houses and neighborhoods instead of just looking to do a quick buy or a sale. She made me feel very comfortable and has knowledge of all the local schools and neighborhoods. I've recommended  Marjorie to my family and friends in the past and will continue to refer her to others seei...

Marjorie was an amazing ally in my home-buying adventure. I was a first-time buyer and found the process quite confusing and intimidating.

I highly recommend contacting Marjorie immediately for your upcoming real e...

Marjorie is more than my real estate agent, she was an expert negotiator, a knowledgeable adviser, a problem solver and an attentive listener.Marjorie handled the sale of my home and the purchase of a new property. I was moving from a vintage 3-flat to a high-rise building which was new to me.  Her experience in construction came through as she was able to patiently explain details abou...

Marjorie was a huge help to us during our home search. She was excellent about sticking to our wants (even better than we were in some cases). She made sure in the end that we bought a home that met all of our requirements and not just something that looked pretty. Also,we never would have  survived the contracting experience without her, she ensured that the bank stayed within a reason...

Marjorie was great to work with! She was able to sell our home for us quickly and efficiently during a time when our market was on the rebound (but still recovering). She is very patient, professional, understanding, and only had our best interest in mind. Highly recommended.

She not only guided me through the process but also provided her  expert advice on pricing strategies and negotiating with potential buyers. Now that I am lookin...

Marjorie is an amazing realtor who helped me find the home of my dreams. As a first-time homebuyer who weeks before was working with a not-so-good Realtor, I chose Marjorie because she understood my needs, gave me the individualized attention, wouldn’t pressure me into something and could be my  trusted advisor. Since she has experience in development, she was able to help me understa...
