Joy was very attentive to our needs, budget, and interest/taste. As newcomers to Chicago, it was wonderful to work with someone who has extensive local knowledge and experience and also who provided context and advice that were helpful to us non-locals. Joy was also responsive and a genuinely kind person to work with. She did not push us one way or another, but was supportive of our choices and advocated for us. We highly recommend working with Joy!

Joy was great! She scheduled and attended tours with us to see some great recommendations. She also kept us up to date with all the developments around our lease once we picked a place. I highly recommend working with her if you want very professional and helpful guidance!

Buyer
Working with Joy was one of the best experiences I’ve had with an agent. I was in a time crunch to find a new apartment and she went above and beyond to help me find a rental that met my needs. She was very quick to respond and available at all times which I really appreciated! When bidding on apartments and navigating leasing issues she expertly negotiated and advocated for me, while keeping me updated and informed on everything throughout the process. I was anxious going into my search due to the short notice of my move and was worried I wouldn’t find the right place for me, but Joy made it easy. I love my new apartment and I wouldn’t have gotten it without her help. I highly recommend Joy and will definitely seek her out again for my next move!

Joy made our long-distance apartment search seamless and delightful. She was extremely transparent and responsive from the moment we requested services, through execution of our lease. Moving to Chicago from out of town, Joy was priceless in being able to offer a local perspective on apartments, neighborhoods, and how we could realistically set expectations based on our criteria. She was patient and understanding through periods of our indecisiveness, and was able to help negotiate us a later lease start date based on our circumstances. Would work with her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking in the area.
