Being home buyers for the first time, we were not really sure how to go about the entire process right from shortlisting to closing the apartment. We met Michael through a friend's reference and he was kind enough to show us multiple apartments based on our requirements and preferred geography. Michael was responsive to our requests to show the apartment before closing, as we wanted t...

I was a first time homebuyer moving to Chicago for a new job and was extremely fortunate to have found Michael to be my agent. Michael is very easy and pleasant to talk to and displays great knowledge about market in the downtown Loop area. Michael also has a strong work ethic: he responds to my text messages always within 10 minutes -- even on weekends, for questions big and small....

Found Michael through Zillow and he helped me tour my first property. From there he helped me every step of the way through the tedious home buying process until I eventually found a place that met all the criteria I was looking for. He assisted with both the negotiations and the closing and kept everything moving smoothly and on time. Would definitely recommend him as an agent

I met Michael "by chance" through a different real estate app and it definitely was the best thing! Michael was very thorough, knowledgable, patient and ensured to answer every single question I had, throughout the home buying process. Exceptionally responsive to my texts, very committed and a nice person. He even shared references to a lawyer I can reach out to and a painter, and had be...

Planning to move to Chicago, we looked for a real estate agent who would be able to communicate long distance and find us that perfect condo downtown. We "lucked out" finding Michael Hoover.From the first telephone call, it was evident that Michael was someone who was truly dedicated to helping us. Over the course of our experience, Michael was exceptionally responsive to any query from ...

When we began our new home search, Michael made an immediate impression. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the City of Chicago and its myriad of neighborhoods. This was extremely important to us as we had not quite narrowed down type of housing (high-rise, mid-rise, townhouse, etc.), or even where in the city we wanted to live. I have a big appreciation for Michael’s guidance, p...

My sister and I could not have asked for anyone better than Michael for our first condo purchase. He was amazing to work with and was knowledgeable, fun, and patient with any requests or questions that we had. We never felt pressure to settle. My contact at the bank for the mortgage was also impressed with knowledge Michael had. We could not be happier, and would definitely recommend Mic...

Michael was so great to work with. I was coming in from out-of-state looking at condos and Michael really helped me find a number of places that matched my criteria. We ended up in a multiple-offer scenario, and Michael's advice helped us get the condo we wanted at a great price. Once we were under contract, he really helped steam line everything and walk us through the entire process. W...

Michael is great! He understood very well what we needed and guided us through the whole process, he was always very professional and super responsive! He really listened to us and took the time to search for what we were looking for, arranged everything and was willing to help! I’d totally recommend him.

Michael was great to have by our side for the purchase of our first home. He's easily accessible and made the process easier to navigate. Throughout the nearly 3 dozen homes he showed us, Michael was informative and transparent with his suggestions, while making it fun. In what little time he wasn't able to meet up with us, he had his equally professional partner, Ben, help us out. Toget...

Michael was amazing! He took calls and answered questions at my schedule, which was sometimes very much outside of business hours. We can't thank him enough for pulling together our difficult request.

I loved working with Michael. He excelled at finding places that matched my exact criteria, is super nice, and is very knowledgable about the real estate market. I will definitely be using Michael for all of my future real estate transaction and I would highly recommend him.

Michael was incredible. I had to move very unexpectedly and was under a massive amount of stress and a tight timeline. He listened to my apartment wish-list and my budget necessities before searching for apartments for me to look at. Michael didn't waste any time finding several listings for me to view in person and he helped me find my dream apartment (literally - my dream apartment!) i...

Michael made the house hunting process easy. He listened carefully to our preferences and needs and developed a personalized search that fit our criteria. We got daily updates and were able to provide feedback to him immediately about specific homes. He reviewed our feedback and communicated with us daily regarding our thoughts and opinions about specific houses. Michael was quick ...

Michael was great to work with, a real joy. He was patient as I kept looking at more and more apartments, and made the whole process easy.

Working with Michael was a terrific experience. I had relatively specific ideas in mind as to the space I was looking for and he rose to the occasion. He took me to see several different properties which helped me to hone in on my current location. I am THRILLED with my space and feel I owe it all to Michael and his perseverance. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael Hoover to friend...
