One of the nicest and kindest human beings I have ever met. I would trust this man with my life. A complete professional and not just looking to make a quick buck. Cannot say enough good things about this gentleman.

Huge thank you to Akos and team members for helping my roommate and I sell our condo in Chicago. We found Akos through a good friend of ours and our condo was closed today! He was open and honest with us from start to finish. His knowledge about the market trends were incredible and he made sure to explain everything thoroughly and carefully to us.Akos provided updates and followed up with us about everything, making sure that we were in the loop the entire time. They really did an amazing job and would highly recommend working with them.

I’ve worked with a few real estate agents in the past and Akos and his team are by far the best ones out there.They work quick and they’re always available. Anytime my girlfriend and I had a question or found something we liked/wanted, they were easy to get a hold of.We relocated from out of state to Chicago for business and family. It was a great decision and we love our home. We have the best view and amenities!! The perfect place to start our journey in Chicago.

Akos was extremely knowledgable and was fantastic to work with for our first home purchase. He answered all of our questions throughout the process and always made time for us. He made sure we understood what was happening and that we were comfortable with each step. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

I have been working for my company for years now and was being transferred. My girlfriend and I had been looking at places in the city, but couldn’t seem to find one that really caught our eye. Her best friend who recently moved had referred us to Akos and we couldn’t be happier. He was very quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. He was also very familiar with the area making it easy for us to find the best restaurants, bars, dry cleaners, and more nearby! great to have a realtor to work with who can give you references by where you live. Thanks all!

It was a great experience with Akos and his team. They made my relocation move easy and less stressful. Moving to the city was a big change, but super exciting. They made sure that the only thing I had to worry about was packing. They found me the best unit close to my job and all my friends in the city. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for everything Akos! You all really helped me out every step of the way and I appreciate it. Keep it up.

Akos did a tremendous job at finding us a work/live space. We were extremely picky with what we were after and he showed us multiple properties, each one was very good. With his effort he really helped us narrow down our search. In our opinion hes the best Chicago broker. Weve worked with quite a few in the past but none showed us as much personal attention and understanding as he did. Sometimes real estate agents try to sell just what they have available instead of finding additional properties that are on the market. Akos really went above beyond and matched us with a place that was even better than we had envisioned.

One of the best agents in the city to work with 100%!Akos helped me find my new apartment and I absolutely love it. It truly is home! He was able to help me down to every last detail that I asked for. He was so easy and fun to work with. Anytime I needed anything or had any questions, he was just a call away.He was really patient also because I had a ton of questions. I had such a great experience I even referred him to a girlfriend of mine and her experience was the same. Hardworking, professional, and very knowledgeable. Kudos to Akos and his entire team.

Akos was great. Definitely one of my top experiences working with a Chicago realtor. He made the entire process fun and less stressful. What I appreciated most was that he knew the area very well. So, every apartment I looked at, he was able to provide me with some tips and tricks about where some fun spots around the area were or must-go-to spots.I ended up finding a place after just 3 showings and I know that if I were to do this on my own, that amount of time would have doubled!Thanks Man!

Review №10

Akos was the absolute best! He sold our previous home and found our new home. He got all of our showings set up what felt like instantly. When our buyers backed out of our sale last minute, he relisted our home and got us 3 new offers and got us under contract for more money in less than 5 days. This was all in the midst of the new social distancing requirements! Outside of virtual showings, all other steps of the selling process (inspection, appraisal) felt fairly normal. He maintained constant communication with us and ALL parties involved (buyer’s agent, buyer’s lender, buyer’s attorneys, seller’s agent, seller’s attorneys). We knew what was happening every step of the way. If you’re buying, selling, or both Akos is your guy!

Akos helped me find a condo once I moved back to Chicago. A girlfriend of mine referred him. He was super cool and very easy to get a hold of.Whenever I had a question or saw something I liked and wanted in my place, he took it into account right away. The most challenging part was decided which place I wanted because almost every place I saw I wanted. He gave me great feedback to decide and he was very helpful with the process. He was there every step of the way and I was very happy with my whole experience.

By far one of the best experiences that I have had with a realtor. From the moment we met, Akos was professional and very easy to work with. His upbeat and hardworking personality were what made my entire experience very smooth.I am so happy with my new home. It has everything that I want and for the things that I do want to get renovated, Akos has the contacts! Thanks for all of your help and hard work.

Review №13

Couldn’t have had a better experience finding a home. I was not only looking for a place with all of the things I wanted to have, but I needed something close to my new job. Akos was able to put together a great selection of places for me to look at. In the past, I have looked at homes that were okay or nowhere near to what I was even looking for and Akos had provided me with some good ones. I’m very happy with my choice and my entire experience. It was stress-free and exciting. Home definitely feels like home. Definitely one of the best Agents in Chicago.

I closed on my condo, which is my first home, one month ago today. This is a challenge during normal times but exceptionally challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Akos professionalism and genuineness went a long way, ultimately creating trust in our working relationship. I am so happy with my decision, and I thank Akos for playing a significant role in this major life event!

Had a great experience working with Akos! He truly knows how to make sure that his customers are happy.Not only was I able to find a new place, but working with him was fun and such a breeze. He’s easy to work with and is very friendly. He also knows a lot of people which is a huge plus. I had been looking around for a few weeks on my own and a friend referred him. So glad he did. Highly recommend working with Akos if you are looking to buy or sell!

Started off 2020 right. My fiance and I finally moved out of the suburbs and into the city. This had been a goal of ours for a couple of years now, and we finally made it happen! However, the person who really made this dream of ours come alive was Akos, he helped us find HOME. It is in the perfect location and everything about our new condo is everything we ever wanted. Akos was awesome, from our first meeting until our last, he knew what we were looking for and didnt stop until we found it. One of the very best agents out there.

Akos is reliable and very easy to work with. I’d been looking for a new home and Akos was able to help me find the perfect place for me. It has everything I need and want. I couldn’t be any happier and it was really nice to not have to house hunt on my own and to have someone experienced take care of all the research and digging around. Huge weight off of my shoulders and I’m very thankful!

Review №20

Shoutout to Akos for helping me find my first apartment in the city! I just landed a new job and moved from LA and a good friend of mine who lives in Chicago referred me. Very good recommendation, I would have to say. Akos was down to earth and a very cool guy to work with. He found me a place that checked off everything my list. Washer/Dryer unit IN unit, close to work (so commuting wouldnt be so brutal in the winter), and one with a great view. Because of his help, I could say that my transition from a different city to this one was easier and more welcoming.

Had to sell my home because I accepted a new position out of state. I found Akos through one of my colleagues I went to school with and he was super cool to work with. Hardworking, professional, and easy to talk to and tell him what I wanted. He went above and beyond to make sure that I got what I was looking for. I was very satisfied with how smooth it all went.I hope that the next family who lives in my home enjoys it as much as I did.thank you to Akos and his team! Amazing work.

Akos Straub is the consummate professional. We enthusiastically recommend him to home buyers and sellers alike. We have worked with him to sell a loft, purchase and sell family homes in various neighborhoods in Chicago. Our most recent transaction involved him coordinating a home sale after our move out of the country.He is determined, knowledgeable and nonplussed by challenges or fluctuations in the market, and has demonstrated himself to be an excellent judge of value. You can rely on his expertise and have complete confidence in his ability to steer you to close.

Review №24

As a first time, home buyer things seemed daunting at first, but Akos really made things smooth and simple. I sent him a list of properties he promptly responded with a schedule to view them. He had the patience to take me around to a couple of dozen places before I found the right one and he was able to negotiate with the seller when other offers were coming in to secure the property for me.A great guy with a vast knowledge of Chicagos market. Id highly recommend him and his team!

Selling a home isn’t easy and it was even harder trying to do it on my own. I found Akos and his team through one of my co workers who forwarded me his information. From our first call, I knew he was someone I could work with. Very easygoing and professional! Definitely one of the best agents in Chi. He sold my home super quick. It was incredible. Highly recommend working with him.

There was always something missing! Akos was referred to us by my niece and he has been incredible. He’s very knowledgeable, easy to work with, available at all times, and professional.

I was referred to Akos by my sister who had found her home through him. I reached out because I was looking to move into the city. Akos was able to find me the perfect condo. I tried to shop around myself, but it was difficult because there are so many things out there where the photos dont match the place. Having someone to help me and guide me throughout the entire process was so nice. He knew exactly what I was looking for and what would fit me. The entire process was a breeze once we connected. It was quick and painless. Highly recommend working with him If you are ever looking to buy or sell in the city.

Thanks to Akos, I was able to sell my home very quickly! I was moving out of state with my girlfriend after accepting a position with my company. The sooner we sold our place, the sooner we were able to leave and begin our new lives. We had a previous buyer fall through which delayed things and became stressful. We found Akos through a friend and he found a buyer in no time.We are very grateful and hope that the next family enjoys our home as much as we did. Akos was very nice to work with and he is always available when you need him.

Akos has got to be one of the best realtors out there! He helped one of best friends find a new condo after moving out of her old place. I helped her move in. The place is stunning and everything she ever wanted! I even had a chance to meet him because I was thinking about moving as well. I have his contact information saved as he would be the one that I’d want to work with when the time comes.

Review №36

Being a first time home buyer, the process seemed very discouraging, especially when dealing with other agents that didnt have my best interest in mind. I was introduced to Akos by a family member. I will say calling Akos was the best thing I did. Our first conversation was very positive, informative and I felt like I finally was pointed in the right direction. Akos is very knowledgeable in regards to the real estate market; he quickly made it a point to understand our needs and delivered. Akos always responded to all emails and questions promptly. He made sure he or his partner were available for viewings. I am genuinely grateful for the positive experience and the recommendations he has made. It has been a great experience to have worked with Akos and his team in finding the right home. I recently closed on a home. I have recommended Akos Straub to family members, friends, and coworkers, and I will continue to recommend his expert services

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, Akos was reliable and so great to work with. I just moved to the city with a girlfriend of mine and we absolutely love our new apartment! The perfect building with awesome amenities and the best bars nearby. I couldn’t be any happier. It all worked out especially our bad experience with trying to go to a few showings on our own, where half of them didn’t even look like the photos online. Thank you Akos !

Found an apartment in the city close to my new job all thanks to Akos. I had been looking around for a bit now and couldn’t find something that I really liked. I was looking around the Pilsen area. I reached out to Akos and from that point on, he took care of me the rest of the way. Every place he showed me was amazing. It was nice to have someone organize a list of places to see rather than hunting around yourself.I would have to say that the 3rd place I saw is the one that caught my eye and felt like home. He did an awesome job of helping me find a new home and I couldn’t be more thankful! The whole process was a breeze.

Review №69

Honestly, I dont even know how to put into words how amazing Akos was with our entire process of both buying our dream home and selling our current home.What seemed like it would have been an uphill/daunting and even impossible task, Akos breezed through it with a smile and constant reassurances. Any time my wife and I felt stressed or uneasy about any portion of the transactions, the move or even the sale of some of our furniture to the new buyers of our home, Akos was there with a calm demeanor and put his words into action. He never BSed us. He sold our home within 4 hours of it hitting the market (above our asking no less) and he got us the deal we wanted our new house.We arent seasoned vets when it comes to property purchase but weve been here before and I can tell you that Akos was far above any agent weve ever experienced. Cheers to Akos and his assistant Kendra (who was a rockstar in her own right!!!) I will recommend him to everyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Chicagoland area.
