ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL.
HIGHLY COMMUNICATIVE.

“Sam is fantastic – this was our third transaction with Sam (he help us buy our first house, sell it when we moved out of Chicago, then helped us buy again when we moved back) and as long as he’s still doing this, we will use him as our realtor. Always professional, has a great crew around him, highly communicative, and just a nice person. Has deep experience in the entire Chicago area and was really good about helping us think through our decision.”

I called Chicago Properties and Sam Shaffer himself picked up. I spoke with him and candidly asked his opinion to which he responded in an honest professional manner. We agreed to meet soon after within 24 hours which impressed me. I "interviewed" Sam and showed him my property for sale, and was immediately sure I had made a GREAT choice. Sam is sharp, pleasant, highly knowledgeable and honest. I was also floored by the efficiency of his team! He is not a one-man shop, but instead is the captain of a FANTASTIC team that knows how to work together efficiently! I have to give a shout out to Anne, Jeanne, and all of Sam's team; they each have their expertise and dedicated position in the company. They are synchronous and highly effective. I followed Sam's advice recommendations for preferred stagers and they were reasonable and made the place photogenic and attractive. Sam was also able to connect me to a preferred real estate attorney, who was also reasonable and HIGHLY effective. Chicago Properties is the COMPLETE package and I would heartily recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell without the headaches of searching for answers or solutions to the process. They handled it ALL for me and best of all, were able to turn my place around and actually close it in about 45 days! If you seek what I would describe as a "Concierge Service" from a great realtor, definitely give them a call, you will NOT regret it.

We have worked with Sam for the past 11 years. He was our realtor when we bought our first condo in Chicago and we subsequently trusted him to represent us in three other transactions. In our latest engagement together, he helped us sell our townhouse in Lincoln Park. We relocated to NC and the place needed some work pre and post offer. His team was there to help us all the way. When a contractor needed to access the property, they were there, when we needed a contact for someone to do a repair, they had the perfect contact. Being an out of town seller is complicated enough and prone to massive headaches. Sam and team were critical in removing a lot of those headaches from us.

Working with Sam and his team was a truly positive experience. They were incredibly responsive, always keeping us informed throughout the process. Their expertise in the market helped us price our home competitively, and their negotiation skills secured us a great deal. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Sam and his team were very personable, communicative, patient, and easy to work with during a sometimes stressful process. He and his team, especially Arlette and Jeanne, were able to balance a number of considerations and ultimately able to help me accomplish what I needed in a house sale. I appreciated that they shared their expertise while also allowing me to have final say in the process and negotiation. Overall I am satisfied.

Sam was absolutely amazing to work with. A true pro. Sam provided professional guidance through every step of the process. Having Sam lead the transaction gave me the confidence and comfort I needed from start to finish.

Sam is the best! We switched to Sam right before Thanksgiving and were thinking it'll take at least 3-4 months to get our condo sold. Sam and his team worked diligently to get many showings for us from November to December, the toughest winter months in Chicago and around the holidays. His team kept us in the loop through the process and gave us feedback from each showing (they were always there in person to do the showing too!). We got multiple offers in January which was a huge pleasant surprise! It has been such a great experience working with Sam and his team. Thank you!

Sam helped us sell our condo about 11 years after he helped us purchase it. When we decided to sell, we knew we wanted Sam’s expertise again as our initial buying experience was wonderful. In these 11 years, he has grown a wonderful team who were very knowledgeable and responsive along the way. At the same time, Sam still maintained his strong work ethic and knowledge. I highly recommend Sam and his team for all of your real estate needs!

Sam did an amazing job assisting us with the purchase of our first home. He was friendly, honest, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. He was very responsive and readily answered all of our (many) questions. He ultimately helped us buy a home at a competitive price and with good resale value and we are very happy with the overall experience. We would recommend him to all of our friends and family looking to buy or sell a home!

Sam Shaffer is a cut above the rest! When it comes to knowing how way around the real estate industry, he’s got all the bases covered! Not only does Sam return calls/texts/emails promptly & efficiently (no matter the hour), he also takes no prisoners in terms of manning the wheelhouse - his negotiation skills are superior, his level of professionalism is astute, and his attention to detail is unfailing. Additionally, Sam’s team is always at the helm to support Sam’s clients with the utmost care & concern. We have worked with Sam on more than one real estate transaction now & will continue to work with him in the future.
