The Margie Smigel Group

Margie came highly recommended as someone with extensive knowledge of the real estate market in Hyde Park. She was always easy to get a hold of, a no bs kind of person, and incredibly helpful in walking me through the process as a first time home buyer. Margie didn't make me feel pressured to purchase above my price range like a previous realtor did and while I was hesitant at first to truly trust her, I felt like she was really just on my side the entire time. She's realistic about expectations and has her clients best interests.

Even when she was away, she was very responsive at all times and made sure her associate, Benita, was easy to contact and tour places with me. I would 10/10 recommend her. Thank you, Margie and Benita!

The reverse mortgage was due because of the property owner's demise. The countdown to foreclosure had begun.

Bitter winter weather was approaching rapidly. Several similar properties had been marketed for months, providing steep competition. To prepare for our listing, Margie applied her thoughtfulness and artistry and staged the property to emphasize its best attributes. She presented a well-qualified buyer to the Estate within a short time frame. This precluded foreclosure and left funds to begin the process of settling other debts of the Estate.

Margie is ethical, experienced, gifted, and indefatigable. We look forward to working with her again, and we recommend her without reservation.

Margie - thank you so much!!!!!

My husband and I met Margie at an open house many years ago and decided that she was the Realtor we wanted to work with. Subsequently, she held our hands through several sales and purchases in Hyde Park and South Shore. We are convinced we received top notch service and the best financial deals possible.
This year, Margie helped me sell my house in Hyde Park. She was "all in" through the process of getting the house in shape for selling, staging it to look fabulous, securing the best photos for listing, negotiating the best sales contract, and seeing all the loose ends tied up before closing. She worked beautifully with the other broker, my attorney, and the title company. Thank you, Margie!

Margie is a zealous advocate for her clients. She helped us get our closing executed quickly when we were on a tight timeline. She has unmatched knowledge of the Hyde Park area, and was extremely helpful in finding the perfect place for us.

Margie helped with the purchase a few years ago and the recent sale of our Hyde Park condo. She did a great job with both transactions. She's a great communicator and was always available when we needed her. She knows the area well. She was very involved in getting the deal closed.

I contacted Margie Smigel the day I decided to sell my Woodlawn Condo. She came to see me the next day. She advised me on comps in the area and on what needed to be done in the apartment before lt was listed. She helped me to stage the apartment so that it would look its best. She was with me every step of the way. Several open houses were scheduled; I was kept up to date on potential buyers and changes in the market. I sold the apartment at a good price in less time than I expected. I highly recommend the services of the Margie Smigel Group.

We had the pleasure of working with Margie and her team in the sale of our townhouse in the city. Margie was helpful In so many ways. First, she held our hands through the whole selling process because of the fact that we live out of state. Second, she helped with minor things and major things including keeping tabs on our contractor who was renovating the property prior to sale. Third, her suggestions were on point regarding appliances and upgrades and showed her in-depth knowledge of the area and the type of purchaser who would be interested in our townhouse. I would wholeheartedly recommend Margie to anyone looking for a broker on either the purchaser or seller side.

We found Margie on Yelp while looking for a realtor to sell our South Loop condo, which we had to do remotely. She replied quickly and met with us personally encouaging us to list sooner to stay in the season. She gave us references to various services who could expedite for us which allowed us to list quickly. She did several open houses and multiple showings which successfully sold our condo in the price and time ranges she initially discussed with us. It was a good experience for us.

Margie worked for us as both a buyers' agent and as listing/sellers' agent for our condo. She was great to work with and really on top of all aspects of the transactions, often assisting in correcting issues with the attorneys and title company. She is very knowledgeable and a great communicator. I would recommend Margie to anyone buying or selling - she's the best!

Margie is 1 in a Billion!!! She is extremely professional, knows the market well, very ethical and she is a sweetheart. She is such a hard- worker and does her absolute best to ensure that her customers are elated with her results. Margies CMA's are outstanding!!! Expect nothing less from an outstanding realtor!!! THANK YOU MARGIE YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
