Not being experienced with real estate transactions, their advice, guidance, organization and efficiency of the sale were perfect. They eased my burden immensely and I will be forever grateful.”

“My wife and I initially started looking for homes with an agent at a big, branded real estate firm. Soon we realized that going with a well-known brand doesn’t necessarily mean the agent will be experienced in his profession. This agent lacked experience, was always late for showings and just didn’t convey to us ...Read More “My wife and I initially started looking for homes with an agent at a big, branded real estate firm.

Soon we realized that going with a well-known brand doesn’t necessarily mean the agent will be experienced in his profession. This agent lacked experience, was always late for showings and just didn’t convey to us he had the competence of not only negotiating a good deal but let alone finding the right house for us. We dropped him and was referred to Sam at YBRS Realty by a friend that used him. We were kind of hesitant at first because we hadn’t heard of his firm but after meeting with him in person at his office, we immediately realized his vast knowledge in real estate and how professional he and his firm run their operations. Within two weeks, he found us the perfect home and we locked it in at a price lower than we expected. We couldn’t be happier about the result. We recommend them highly.”

Ron and his staff at YBRS Realty handled every aspect of the transaction from guidance on property preparation to extensive marketing and advertising to quickly locating a highly qualified buyer and guiding the escrow process to a successful conclusion.

Ron and his staff at YBRS Realty handled every aspect of the transaction from guidance on property preparation to extensive marketing and advertising to quickly locating a highly qualified buyer and guiding the escrow process to a successful conclusion. They exceeded all of our expectations. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering selling their home.”

“When they say their firm is a ‘one-stop full service real estate firm’ they mean it! When I first met Sam and asked him for his help to find me a condo in the South Loop, I told him that I’m a first-time homebuyer and that I have zero experience in the entire process. He said not to worry and that he would gui ...Read More “When they say their firm is a ‘one-stop full service real estate firm’ they mean it!

When I first met Sam and asked him for his help to find me a condo in the South Loop, I told him that I’m a first-time homebuyer and that I have zero experience in the entire process. He said not to worry and that he would guide me step by step through what I thought would be a daunting process. He went beyond his commitment and found a condo I liked, referred me to a lender, found me an inspector, attorney and contractors to handle the renovations. I’m impressed by the number of contacts he and his firm have in all areas related to real estate. The entire process was so seamless. I couldn’t be any happier and blessed to have found and worked with Sam. Thank you!”

“We worked with Ron to purchase our very first home. With first-time homebuyers comes a lot of questions, hesitations, and unrealistic wants which I am sure can be tough for sales agents. Ron handled everything with professionalism, patience, and gave us great advice and direction. He explained every step of the home ...Read More “We worked with Ron to purchase our very first home.

With first-time homebuyers comes a lot of questions, hesitations, and unrealistic wants which I am sure can be tough for sales agents. Ron handled everything with professionalism, patience, and gave us great advice and direction. He explained every step of the home buying process thoroughly especially when it was time for us to negotiate the contract for our house. I would highly recommend Ron and his team at YBRS Realty to anyone interested in or considering purchasing a home.”

“My business partner and I hired Sam to help us identify and purchase a home to rehab and resell/flip. We initially had an agent helping us before we contacted YBRSRealty but he was not aggressive in finding deals based on our criteria so we’re extremely glad we switched to Sam. We have been working in real estate ...Read More “My business partner and I hired Sam to help us identify and purchase a home to rehab and resell/flip.

We initially had an agent helping us before we contacted YBRSRealty but he was not aggressive in finding deals based on our criteria so we’re extremely glad we switched to Sam. We have been working in real estate and home improvement for 12+ years and have worked with many agents. Sam by far ranks top on that list and we plan to use him every time.”

“My husband and I were not from the Illinois area and were quite unsure of what area would be the best fit for us. Sam was informative, honest, diligent, and helped us to find the perfect home in a very limited time frame.

Sam was informative, honest, diligent, and helped us to find the perfect home in a very limited time frame. He was able to work with us over email and through various methods remotely when we couldn’t be in the state. As first time home buyers we were unsure of the process and he helped us to make an informed decision. We would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home!”

“Ron helped us both buy our house in Northbrook and sell our condo in River North. He was incredibly responsive and very patient with us – helping us through one contract we decided to terminate, a very competitive buyer’s market, and a long wishlist of wants/needs. He is very knowledgeable about Chicago and the ...Read More “Ron helped us both buy our house in Northbrook and sell our condo in River North.

He was incredibly responsive and very patient with us – helping us through one contract we decided to terminate, a very competitive buyer’s market, and a long wishlist of wants/needs. He is very knowledgeable about Chicago and the North Shore and we have recommended him to several of our friends, and will continue to do so! We loved working with him!”

“I’ve been working with Sam for nearly 5 years now. I’m a real estate investor in the South Side of Chicago and boy am I glad I met Sam.

He’s found me so many properties ranging from single family homes, multi-unit apartments and lately commercial buildings at very good prices. He knows my exact parameters and only sends me properties that he knows I will be interested in. Anyone with experience working in the South Side of Chicago knows firsthand that it’s not an easy task to buy or sell properties. There’s almost always unpaid water bills, city violations, back taxes, liens, etc. but Sam works with all the involved parties to somehow make the deal happen. I cannot express how appreciative I am of his efforts and for helping make my portfolio grow.”

“Ron Shah did a first-class job of representing and selling our house. He had ideas for small improvements that made the house show its best. Ron found good people to assist in the process (for home repairs, staging, inspections) and kept things moving swiftly.

We have no doubt that we picked the right agent to help us with the sale and are very happy to highly recommend him. We thought the whole sales process went very smoothly thanks to Ron and his team’s hard work. You couldn’t ask for a more attentive and responsive broker. It would be a pleasure to work with him again.”
