Robert Lake is truly wonderful! He checked the taxes on a property that I was interested in and informed me that due to the triennial assesment of the area the property taxes would sky rocket after purchase. I, of course, did not pursue that propety. Definitely dodged a bullet! I did end up using him when I found a different property and he made the whole process quick and painless.
Closed on our home about two months ago and had Bob and his team represent us. They were always super friendly and willing to answer any questions we had. Quick to respond too! Everything went super smooth on day of closing. 100% would recommend them to someone looking for a recommendation!
Handling the sale of your childhood home after the unexpected passing of a parent is just hard. There are so many details and so much to handle that would be difficult to grasp at the best of times. Those feel insurmountable in hard times. I am so glad that I had Mr. Lake, Nancy and Rachel to guide me through all of the steps from offer to close. They were so patient and kind, and 100% in my corner. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a tram to help with a real estate transaction.
***Robert Lake has represented our family in five separate private residential real estate transactions and one commercial transaction in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. He has always provided absolutely outstanding service, helping in all stages of the transactions - from signing the contract all the way through to closing. Regardless of the numerous questions we had along the way, Robert always provided very prompt, thorough answers. He has helped us with some very difficult situations, always protecting our interests and ensuring that any issues were quickly resolved. We have recommended Robert Lake to at least 5 or 6 friends and colleagues (some of whom with much more complex transactions than we have) who retained him as well. Every single one of them has spoken very highly of him. He has always had our best interests in mind, and it was very reassuring to have an advocate in our corner that was looking out for us. Robert’s experience is very broad. He is clearly an expert in his field, not to mention a consummate professional. We would highly recommend Robert Lake to anyone navigating the home buying process.
I was a prospective customer; I did not retain their services, nor have I ever used their services. This review is based upon one interaction with the office as a prospective client. The conversation I had expected was sort of an interview however it delved into an argument, which I found I didn’t not want to work with this person at all. I realize that not everyone is a persons cup of tea so to speak. Rather than argue further I just said thank you and wished them well as why would I want to do business with someone that I’m having a negative interaction with and I don’t even know their name. I had to thank them two more times before they reluctantly acquiesced to end the conversation because it didn’t matter who was right anymore it was about my personal preference as a customer in how I am treated.
