Drew has been amazing from start to finish. As first-time buyers in a fierce market, to say we were stressed would be an understatement. Drew put us at ease and worked diligently to provide us with every option available to us. Drew provided us with ample listings that met our criteria and was available (day and night) to address our concerns! When a home came into the market that we liked, he was able to get us in to see it less than 24 hours after listing. He then worked to secure the deal, despite some substantial roadblocks. Drew and his team offer decades of experience and it shows!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We had an amazing experience working with Drew Stoffer as our realtor. Drew made the process feel personal and seamless. Communication is key during this process, and Drew excelled at it. He was really good with communicating over text, email, and phone, ensuring that things kept moving in the right direction. All of his referrals, from inspectors to contractors, were great, reasonably priced, and always on time. Drew’s guidance and expertise helped us navigate the complexities of buying a condo with ease. We are incredibly grateful for his support and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Drew exceeded our expectations as first-time homebuyers from start to finish. We were relocating from New York to Chicago and Drew showed us some condos on a weekend trip. He was inquisitive and proactively helped us understand the local market, as well as offered advice on neighborhoods and types of buildings to look for after seeing what we liked. One of the condos we toured with Drew in South Loop stood out to us, so much so that we decided to shift up our moving timeline and place an offer. Drew was incredibly responsive and professional at every step of this process, offering advice based on his experiences with similar situations in addition to his own well-formed opinions to help contextualize things. During negotiation, he guided us to an accepted offer that was both well below the asking price and in line with what he believed was the market price in the area.Throughout the closing process, Drew was always just a text message or call away. We took his recommendation for an attorney and inspector, and both proved to be exceptional. Since we were still in New York, he attended the inspection in our place and added invaluable context to that report. His recommended attorney made sure that a challenging situation on closing day was nothing more than a small inconvenience. We ended up having to postpone the close by two days (not Drew's fault) but he made it clear he was happy to help in any way he could while not being overbearing. When the closing happened two days later, he again followed up to help us in any way he could. Do yourself a favor and stick with Drew-he's highly qualified, patient, savvy, and a good person all around.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I had a fantastic experience working with Drew! He was incredibly patient and understanding throughout the entire process. He took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, and then went above and beyond to find properties that matched what I was looking for. Drew's knowledge of the local market was impressive, and he guided me each step of the way with clear and concise explanations. I honestly felt like Drew always had my best interests at heart. His professionalism and hard work made the home-buying journey much easier than I anticipated. I would highly recommend Drew to anyone in need of a reliable and understanding partner in the home buying process!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Drew was super helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process, especially as a first time home buyer. In fact, we went through a lot of hurdles from a couple of uncooperative sellers that forced the subsequent sales to fall through. Drew was calm, patient and communicative, and went above and beyond to follow up with the seller agents to act in my best interest. I recommend Drew to anyone who is new to the home-buying process!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I recently worked with Drew to find a rental in the South Loop. He was very responsive, professional, and easy to work with. I had tried working with other Realtors in the past but none of them went the extra mile like Drew. I highly reccomend Drew to anyone that needs a hard working Realtor in the Chicagoland area. I will definitely be reaching back out to Drew when I am back in the market again to rent or buy!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I had the pleasure of working with Serena, and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, and communication throughout my first time home buying & selling real estate journey. Serena helped me buy a house in the suburbs, sell it for a profit when the time came, and then seamlessly transition into finding a rental in the downtown area.Serena's expertise in both the suburban and city markets was evident from the start. She guided me through every step with confidence, providing valuable insights that made the buying and selling processes straightforward and efficient. Her knowledge of the local real estate market and inventory was truly impressive.She was always responsive, keeping me informed and well-prepared at every stage. As a first time home buyer she was a step ahead of questions I had and was there to provide timely and clear information, making me feel confident in every decision.I'm incredibly grateful for her assistance throughout these transitions, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and knowledgeable agent both in the burbs and downtown.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
12/10 would recommend Serena for both buying and selling! She helped make selling our first condo and simultaneously purchase the next so seamless and stress free. Great communication. She also is always on site for all showings which was a relief to me. I will definitely go back to her for any future transactions!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Serena was very patient with me, I started looking several months before I moved to the city and another year after that. I wanted a lot and she helped me find it. She was always on time and respected my time.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
In short words. Serena is awesome. Know the process and will make all of it seen very easy. She responds with patience to all stupid questions that me as a first time homeowner had. Don't think, just send a message and enjoy how easy it will be.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I was a first time homeowner in the Chicago area. I met Serena, who was very knowledgeable about the area. She sent me all the houses in the market within my budget and my preferences in houses. She then set up all the tours for me. When it came to negotiations, she used her expertise to come up with a great offer and helped me close on a house I love… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Working with Serena was awesome! We contacted her during the pandemic, showed her the listings we liked and she was able to secure the showings of 7 apartments in just a day! She works really hard (and very fast) to offer you the best options within your budget and other preferences. I was a first-time buyer and she guided me through every step. She’s super knowledgeable, extremely helpful and always available to chat! Thing that I really appreciate is that she offered her personal opinion based on her professional experience every time I asked. Serena’s patient, always on time, easy and fun to work with and I would highly recommend her!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Serena is a tremendous realtor. She was so gracious with her time to my fiancé and I while we asked a million questions throughout the home-buying process. Serena was such a great asset to us. Her candidness was also always appreciated. We highly recommend Serena Phillips Dunn to anyone looking for a realtor who knows her stuff in Chicagoland.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Serena works magic! She obtained multiple immediate offers twice, even during a pandemic. She solicited offers even without our unit being formally on the market. She is as hard working as they come! She has the ability to build excellent rapport, and was always communicative and thorough.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Serena is AWESOME! I had two agents attempt to sell my previous condo that was on the market for 6 months without one serous an offer. Afterwards, I asked Serena to be my listing agent and within one month I excepted a very generous offer! After my condo went under contract Serena helped me purchase a new home while making sure the sell went seemless. Serena is a exciting ball of energy that never stops, she is patient, and listens to your wants and needs in a home and after she found my dream home she never left my side. She helped to keep everyone involved in my sell and purchase i.e. lender, attorney and purchasing agents on the same pag . Yes. Serena was busy.... I didnt get time to be worried or frustrated because Serena anticipated my concerns and handled even the smallest of details. After I moved into my new home, I forget she is not my agent, because she still keeps in touch and lets me know events and activities going on in my new neighborhood. Serena is thee best agent and will forever be my agent friend.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I started working with Serena in May 2018 and closed on a condo in August 2018. I lived away from Chicago so I was only able to see listings on the weekends. Serena was very flexible and worked with my schedule. On the way to my first visit, I hit a deer on the highway and was delayed by 2 hours but she still waited and managed to show me some listings. I really appreciated her compassion and understanding. Serena is very responsive and was able to show me listings that I sent her last minute, she truly cares about her clients. This was my first time purchasing a condo/home and she was extremely helpful with explaining the process and answering any questions that I had. I had around 4-5 appointments with Serena and made ~3 offers before settling on my condo. She was very professional during the entire process and went above and beyond to help me! She was present during the home inspection and recommended a great inspector. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a real estate agent!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We had the pleasure of working with Rick Coppola recently to find a home in the University Village area, and I cannot speak highly enough about my experience. From the moment we connected, Rick displayed a level of honesty and friendliness that immediately put us at ease and took the time to understand our needs and preferences as a growing family. We specifically wanted a house in the University Village Area, where we were already living in a condo, but needed to upsize our space. He acted as our listing agent and helped us rent our condo, and also was our agent to secure the new property as well. His knowledge of the local market was crucial, and he was always upfront and transparent about the pros and cons of each property we viewed. I never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision, which I greatly appreciated. I felt a genuine commitment to finding the right home for us, not just closing a deal. He was always available to answer questions, promptly returning calls and emails, and offering valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a real estate agent who combines professionalism with a personal touch.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick Coppola is a real estate superhero! After a painful eviction, we were nervous about finding new tenants for our owner-occupied building, but Rick's trustworthy nature and excellent judge of character ensured we found a great fit - twice! His genuine warmth and rock-solid advice had us feeling like we were working with a trusted friend rather than just another broker - he even coordinated a real estate photographer and gave us styling tips. Thanks to Rick, we're now living the dream as happy owner-occupiers with fantastic tenants - talk about a win-win! We can't recommend him enough.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick was my realtor on my recent purchase of my first home with my husband! We were connected via Zillow, and this was a great stroke of luck for us. We started out looking to rent, and even as a much lower stakes client, Rick was equally helpful and attentive then as he was when we chose to buy. I had an urgent timeline to find a home, and Rick's help in quickly finding places and arranging showings was invaluable. He gave us extremely sound advice about what properties NOT to buy, which I think is demonstrative of his genuine helpfulness and care for his clients. You can trust his honesty without question. As first time home buyers, there was so much we didn't know to look for on tours that he taught us. When we finally found our place, Rick was extremely knowledgeable. He had lived in that exact building for many years, and he gave us so many great tips on the area that made it feel like home right away. Our path from offers to closing hit just about every hurdle imaginable, but Rick went above and beyond to advocate for us and did everything in his power to help us get our dream home. Even when it looked like there was no path forwards, he did not give up on us. Another thing that speaks volumes: even when Rick was overseas on vacation with an 8+ hour time difference, he was STILL there to help us when we needed him. He is a lovely person and fantastic at his job. You would struggle to find anyone who compares, and I know who I will be calling when I look for my next place.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick did a magnificent job with helping us find our current home in Chicago. He carefully listened to all of our requirements and sought the most perfect places.

Rick did an excellent job assisting us in our hunt to find a place to rent downtown. As first time renters in the city, there were a lot of uncertainties but Rick did a great job answering our questions and advocating for us. He really listened to us when we told him what we envisioned our place to be and worked hard to make sure all of our boxes were checked. He is also personable, efficient, and knowledgeable. His expertise made this whole process easy and we will definitely be using his assistance again in the future when we are ready to buy our first home.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I had the pleasure of working with Rick while purchasing my condo, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He’s a fun, personable, and an empathetic person. Most importantly he was extremely communicative, organized, and earnest. It’s evident he puts his client’s needs above his own, respecting your wants, needs, and budget. He’ll ensure he’s finding the best deal for his client and not himself. As a first time home buyer, he did a fantastic job at explaining the process to me and advising me in this important life milestone. Couldn’t be more thankful to have had Rick support me for the most important purchase I’ve ever made! I highly recommend working with him and will be referring him to any friends and family in need of a home or apartment.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick was everything we could have asked for and more! As first-time buyers, we were unfamiliar with many parts of the process, but Rick went above and beyond all along the way to make sure that we understood everything. Our criteria was fairly broad, especially at the beginning, but Rick listened to our feedback throughout each home we viewed/discussed, and was able to curate the homes that we saw to better fit our needs (I swear he somehow knew what we wanted better than we did). One of the best things about Rick is how personable he is. We truly felt like we made a new friend throughout the process. Rick was extremely responsive to our questions, regardless of the time or day, and has texted to check in on several occasions since we completed the buying process. He also has a great network of professionals that he was able to recommend, from mortgage brokers and lawyers, to home inspectors and renovation contractors, all of whom were excellent and went above and beyond just as Rick did.In the end, we found a beautiful condo that fit all of our needs and was well-within our budget. Rick helped us make sure that everything went smoothly with the sellers, and we were able to move in a few months ago without any hiccups. We're so happy with our new home and can't thank Rick enough.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick helped us during a time when it was a chaotic seller's market. As first-time home owners, we were definitely feeling overwhelmed with the process and had a lot of questions. Rick patiently guided us step by step, and when he wasn't sure about an answer, he reached out to his helpful network to get one. With the housing market being the way it is, we had to look at homes and make calculated decisions quickly. Rick helped keep us grounded even when we encountered stressful interactions and bad-faith negotiating from other people. He remained encouraging when we started to become frustrated. Rick has integrity, which we learned is a valuable trait not all realtors have. At the end, we found a lovely home and felt satisfied with our offer. We owe a lot to Rick for giving us peace of mind, and highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home in competitive markets.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick is amazing, his knowledge of Chicago is unmatched, and he understands his clients and the lifestyle we're looking for in a neighborhood. During the touring process he was extremely attentive to the build quality, the degree of maintenance, appliances and finishes, and all other tiny details that are difficult to take in as you're walking through a place and trying to decide if you see a future there. When my first offer did not pass the inspection, he was ready with a game plan, found a bunch more places that fit my criteria on a very tight turnaround and I was able to find a condo in a location that is so perfectly me.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick did an outstanding job helping us with two real estate transactions. His knowledge of the community where we purchased was excellent and led us to a new home that matches our families needs and preferences perfectly. His talent shined on the purchase as we negotiated a favorable price for value we couldn’t be more happy with. On our other property sale Rick was on it every step of the way, educating and advising in every important decision. His negotiation skills came through again as we sold for a favorable price and much faster than expected. An overall excellent experience and performance!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Cory did an outstanding job selling our condo. We received the highest price recorded for a unit of our size and style. He goes above and beyond in his approach on working with sellers, encouraging new buyers and making things as simple as possible for building/unit appraisals. There are many reasons that make him a top seller in the University Village neighborhood. Yet, for me, the key to it all seems based in his deep commitment to Chicago neighborhood community and serving others to the best of his ability! Five stars all around!!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Cory helped me find my first home and took his time touring multiple properties with me and displayed a great knowledge of what to look out for when purchasing my first home. He saved me from making a costly mistake when I was interested in a split block home that almost definitely had a water seepage problem. He brings a wide array of knowledge to the table and I would use him again in a heartbeat when I sell or rent out my current residence (he has a property management company too). Overall a great experience. Thanks Cory!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
