"We have been lucky to work with Kathie three times now. When she helped us buy our condo in the city, she impressed us then by cheerfully and indefatigably taking us to dozens of places, asking all the savvy questions we would never have thought of, and finding the perfect for us place. When we did find our dream home, she helped us negotiate the right price for us - even in a tight market. I've since recommended her to two friends and both fell in love with her. Everyone found their dream home and is now recommending Kathie to their friends. We just partnered with Kathie again, to sell our Chicago condo and buy a house in the suburbs to fit our growing family. Kathie went above and beyond investigated, counseled, inspired, dug into every detail, advocated, never lost track of the big picture, and got us to the finish line—elegantly, easily, successfully. She never shies away from telling us the real-deal truth so we felt fully informed, respected, and like she always had our back, always. She also makes it fun (not always easy with real estate) every step of the way, which is her superpower. She supervised countless details in preparing our former place while were were distracted moving into our new one. We were constantly amazed and so, so thankful. As we sit here in our new, perfect-for-us home, we regularly toast Kathie, knowing she is foundational to how we got here. Honestly, she's become family. Thank you, Kathie!"

"Kathie spent the time to get to know me and was able to quickly determine when looking at places, whether it would be something I would like or not. She was always proactive, sending links to places to review.

"Kathie spent the time to get to know me and was able to quickly determine when looking at places, whether it would be something I would like or not. She was always proactive, sending links to places to review. There was this one time when we visited a place; when we walked in, she turned around and told me to walk out, because this was not "me". She always worked to my schedule, and always accommodating. Kathie is very patient not pushy, and truly on your side. We spent a couple of months every weekend looking at over 10 places, to the point where I gave up. I needed a little bit of a break. Kathie was very understanding and said that whenever I was ready, she would be ready too. After a two-month break, I went back at it again, and this time, I found "my" place in about a month. Kathie was great. I have gotten to know Kathie and she is very considerate, always thinking of things you probably would not have thought of, funny, helpful, and easy to get along with. I have recommended my friends to Kathie and I certainly will use Kathie when I am ready to move on to my next place!"

"Kathie came highly recommended by two friends who had worked with her on their recent home purchases. It was immediately apparent why they enjoyed working with her. She is honest, knowledgeable, and patient. As first-time home buyers, she took the time to explain (and re-explain) the process to us so that we were comfortable and prepared when looking at homes. Kathie constantly used our feedback on properties to learn what our family valued and devalued in a home, helping to narrow the daunting search into something more manageable. Importantly, we never felt like we were being pushed into making decisions and Kathie became a trusted partner for us, even as we dragged our feet on making a city versus suburbs decision. When we finally decided to focus our search on the suburbs, Kathie was accommodating with her schedule, and her deep real estate knowledge translated well to the burbs, helping us negotiate a fair price for our forever home. We enthusiastically recommend Kathie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Chicago."

"Working with Kathie Bock during our relocation from Virginia to Chicago was incredible. Having to handle most of this relocation virtually during Covid and being out of state she did an exceptional job. Kathie’s ability to listen to exactly what we wanted and find perfect matches for us, shows her unfailing attention to detail. Not only is she great at her job but her connections to others throughout the industry make you feel like you are in good hands. She walked us through every step of the way, making sure to never leave out details and explain things in a way that we understood. This was without a doubt the best experience we could have asked for with being first-time home buyers. She grew up in this area and has extensive knowledge of the neighborhoods that only locals would know. When we go to sell our home, she will be the only person we will trust. Do yourself a favor and work with Kathie. You won’t regret it!"
