Katie Barreto is the consummate professional, who delivered the best results during a complicated real estate sale. Katie’s marketing was spot on, her materials reflected the excellence she provides to her clients and her dedication to showings and open houses gave us the extra edge we needed. Katie managed the negotiation process to our complete advantage and saved us both time and money. I recommend Katie to all of my family and friends due to the complete satisfaction I had during this process. She is the best. -Flair Communication

 

 

Simply the Best!!! We’d been working with another Realtor for over 6 months and were getting nowhere. After reaching out to Katie, things REALLY started to move. It took two months to find our dream home. We were expecting our second child and wanted a home (instead of renting.) Katie took the  time to understand what we were looking for and actually listened to us. We received daily email updates on homes that fell within our requirements. She didn’t pepper us with listings that we didn’t want. The best part was Katie negotiated the price down $35,000 dollars. That as a huge win for our budget. I can’t recommend Katie highly enough. -Jerry and Lori

 

I have bought and sold property for over 50 years and found Katie to be one of the most professional and knowledgeable sales people I have ever dealt with, period. I was particularly impressed with the she went about matching the person to the property. She concluded a VERY successful negotiation  for us. During that time I was not sure I would have taken the approach she did, but she absolutely nailed it. Based on my experience with Katie during this transaction, I will proudly recommend her to anyone. -Mike and Judy

 

We had previously listed with another realtor with zero results. We knew we made the right decision to switch to Katie immediately when she brought in a professional photographer and stager. Katie did an amazing job marketing our home and we had our first offer almost immediately. I recommend her  to anyone looking to buy or sell! -Brian and Melissa

 

We were looking for an investment property in downtown Chicago. Katie had an excellent handle on the market. She was very available to show us around and exuded confidence in navigating the real estate and traffic in downtown Chicago. -Kirk and Barb

 

 

 

 

 

Katie was easy to work with when it came to marketing my home. She brought in a professional stager to make the house shine a little extra, and hired an amazing photographer to really showcase each room for advertising. She was readily available to manage our open houses; making all visitors feel  very welcomed and even served dips! Once we found our new home, she went above and beyond to negotiate price to our comfort, and spent her own time and money on additional items for us – like a new refrigerator and home warranty. She’s a great realtor who really does anything she can to make the home buying and selling process seamless for her clients. Thank you, Katie! -Chris and Shannon

 

We were so lucky to have a chance to work with Katie during our home buying process. As first time home buyers, we had a LOT of questions. Katie answered them with patience, candor, a sprinkling of humor to lighten the mood, and an immense amount of applicable knowledge. Katie is an amazing  listener. We started our search and she quickly honed in on exactly what we wanted. Funnily enough, we had decided to put our search on hold, but Katie called and said she had something we HAD to see. After intense negotiations, and a long closing process due to our loan requirements (we have a 203k) we closed on our dream house. The market in the are we purchased has exploded since we started our search, and Katie’s expertise made it possible for us to get exactly the house we wanted in the exact location we desired. I can’t recommend her highly enough!  -Gerard and Ellen

 

Katie knew what it would take to get me into the place I’m currently at which was in very high demand. She is great at evaluating the upkeep so you know beforehand how much you might have to put into a place that’s not ‘move-in’ ready. She is also very flexible with your schedule and will drive to  the city and back just to help you out. Katie also has great knowledge of the home’s overall value and its location. -Ed and Family

 

I can’t say enough about Katie’s dedication to meeting our goals. She was very attentive to our needs, very responsive, and provided great advice and recommendations. With Katie, you truly have someone on your side and someone who has your back. -Mike and Lupe
