"Alex sold our Bucktown condo on the private network in just 3 days—with 13 showings and 4 offers to choose from, we sold at $35k above the list price! We've worked with Alex on 4 transactions now, and the customer service is always above and beyond, no matter the price point. Kevin is prompt with his communication and takes everything off your hands for a stress-free process, so all you need to do is wait for your check on closing day.

They are total pros, who are focused on your needs, responsive to your questions, and simply great people to have on your side, while making the experience stress-free every step of the way. We could not sing their praises enough and grateful for their support on our new Bucktown home."
Larry Deutsch – Buyer
"I’ve worked with Alex and Kevin in selling two properties and both experiences were phenomenal. They got me a great price and also helped me with a couple of rental agreements as well. I highly recommend Alex and his team for any real estate needs in Chicago."
Julie Mikkelson – Seller
"A simple five-star review is not enough to describe how pleased my wife and I have been of the choice we made to work with Alex Wolking. Alex (and Kevin from his team) is not only a powerhouse and one of the most knowledgeable real estate agents we've ever encountered. He is professional to the highest level, personable, reliable and overall a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for unmatched expertise of the Chicago real estate market and exceptional level of service, hire Alex Wolking. You won't regret it."
Francesco Onorato – Buyer
"I can't recommend Alex and his team enough. They were such great partners throughout my condo search. Kind, thoughtful, detail oriented and great listeners...it really helped to make the process of purchasing a home in a difficult market so much more manageable."
Janelle Kwan – Buyer
"Alex and Kevin made buying my first home a totally stress-free process. I was genuinely blown away by how diligent and detail oriented they were, and how well they listened to my needs and questions. I still can't believe I was able to find a fantastic home in a great neighborhood just in a month of searching. On top of everything, as a trans man, I had never had such a positive customer service experience with *any* business. They were flawless at using my correct name and pronouns and I never once had to worry about being misgendered to others - I could put that stress aside and completely focus on finding my home. Highly recommend their services to anyone, but especially other members of the LGBTQ community."
Jey McCreight – Buyer
"Alex exceeded expectations during the entire home buying process. His communication skills and responsiveness to questions made the experience as stress free as possible. He has a masters level understanding of the Chicago market and real estate industry, He has great contacts and recommendations, and is proactive in coming up with solutions should the inevitable hiccups come up. If you want top-notch service with the comfort of knowing you are being cared for every step of the way, choose Alex!"
Joey Vetter-Chacón- Buyer
"Alex was absolutely fantastic. As first time home buyers, we relied on his local knowledge and experience to guide us through the process and help us find our perfect home. He is highly available, responsive, friendly, and well connected to a wonderful team of contractors, lenders, and specialists of all sorts. We are so grateful for all his help, and are recommending him to everyone we know buying or selling properties in the greater Chicagoland area!"
Martin Borowsky – Buyer
"Alex and his team set the bar. I could not have envisioned a more ideal experience when it came to purchasing my first home. Alex and Kevin alleviated all my fears throughout the process and made everything much less intimidating for a first-time buyer which gave me much more confidence.
When I first arrived in Chicago I did not have a car and Alex drove me to every showing during the winter months. Alex and Kevin were also extremely responsive to text/calls. I always felt like I knew what was going on.
Ultimately, Alex helped me find the perfect spot with very little friction and I believe it is in large part due to his reputation within the real estate community. I will definitely go back to Alex if I buy or sell in the future.
"
Marcell Walton – Buyer
"This is a 5 + review. Alex and his amazing team helped us to sell our condo in just a week! His expertise is solid. In the first meeting, he came with an extended research of the area where our condo was located, and gave us valuable information on price and strategies to sell our place in a short time, and it definitely worked! Also, at the moment of the negotiation he helped us to make the best decision. He knows very well what he does. Also, he ALWAYS was available for our questions via texts ,calls or emails. We would not recommend any other agent than Alex, Kevin and their excellent team."
