Rita was amazing. Not only did she get my condo sold quickly and for the price I was seeking, she also helped me out with so many things as I no longer live in Chicago. From meeting the plumber to the handyman to the appraiser, she was invaluable. I couldn’t have done it without Rita!

Rita was amazing. She asked all the right questions to be able to put together a plan for both selling our condo and buying our new home. She new the market, and the community we were looking to get into. She kept us focused when we got distracted and yet never pushed too hard. It seemed Rita was always available, from early morning emails to set up appointments, to late night discussion of offers and counter offers. While we knew she had several other clients she always made you feel like you were the only one that mattered. We trusted her completely, in all steps of the process, and we are so glad we did. Six months later we are still feeling so fortunate to be in our new home. And in all fairness, her work getting our condo unit sold was probably even more impressive. We could not recommend anyone more highly.

I cannot say enough great things about Rita Kerins. Rita has been such an amazing help in the purchase of my first home. I had no prior experience or knowledge in the home buying process. I was somewhat sure of the neighborhood I wanted and Rita patiently showed me a large variety of places. She helped me understand and develop my list of wants and needs and truly took the time to make sure that I understood every step of the process. Once I found the place and made the offer, she recommended an Inspector and an attorney for me. Both of these recommendations were excellent and thorough. Rita stayed on as my quarterback through the whole process even though her work was done. She kept my stress level to a minimum and was very flexible throughout. I have referred her to all of my friends and have heard the exact same responses from them. Her knowledge, advice and personality continue to impress me, even four years later. I look forward to the next opportunity I get to work with her!

Rita is wonderful individual to work with and is a terrific real estate agent. My wife and I sought after and purchased two properties with her so far; once when moving inside Chicago and again when we needed more room to plan a family. From visiting listings to closing on properties, Rita has consistently helped us to understand the oddities of market and make the right decisions throughout. It’s difficult to find a truly great realtor, but even more challenging to find one who excels with people. She is terrific with interactions on all levels and knows many exceptional contacts that will help you find the home that you really want. Good luck in your search; if Rita is your first choice, then you have already made a great decision.

Rita Kerins was referred to us by our financial planner when my fiance and I were purchasing our first house. We had no idea what to expect, and Rita far exceeded what we could have imagined. She was constantly answering the thousands of questions we had as first-time home owners and showed us over 18 homes, and was flexible and understanding when we changed our search 3 times from condo in the city of chicago, to townhouse in the suburbs, to finally a single family home. Her response time was so fast when we had questions, whether it be email or a phone call, we were blown away. We apologized several times for being so picky since she helped us search for 4 months, and Rita continually told us that that is what she was here for. Since our search was in the winter, we came across some interesting situations like having to shovel our way to the front door, and she dug right in! She is extremely professional, beyond friendly and helpful, and we cannot stop raving about her. Our families both met and loved her as well, and she has since become more than a realtor to us, but a friend. We cannot sing her praises enough! I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, she will only help make your experience a smooth and enjoyable one!

Rita is incredible. We were moving to Chicago from Golden, Colorado. She quickly understood what we were looking for and found us the most beautiful condo right in the city on the river the first day we went to look. We still had to sell in Colorado and the market there was awful. Through her excellent negotiation and feedback skills the seller here in Chicago waited patiently. After we closed and moved in Rita’s services did not stop. She found us new medical and dental professionals. A fabulous tax attorney and so many other professional and community businesses to help us feel at home right away. She goes above and beyond finding you the perfect home. She continues to follow up with us on a regular basis. We highly recommend Rita and could not imagine ever working with another agent.

We have purchased two homes with Rita representing us. She is an amazingly dedicated agent. Her experience in the industry and in the local market is priceless. I would recommend her personally to anyone and everyone I know. I have the utmost confidence in her ability and desire to what is best for her client at all times.

I truly enjoyed working with Rita. She really understand the chicago real estate market and helped us reach our end goal of selling. She was very friendly, straightforward, attended every showing in person and constantly provided immediate feedback on every showing.

Rita Kerins is what every buyer and seller needs. She is always there for her clients. At no step of the process did I have to wonder what was next, or feel terrified that I didn’t know what to do, because Rita explained what was going on and what to expect. Communication is excellent with her. She is friendly, a great listener, and a genius of real estate in Chicago. Another great service that Rita brings to the table is her wealth of contacts for anything the client needs — attorneys, inspection services, brokers, you name it, she knows someone reputable. I trust her assessment blindly. And lastly, I greatly admire her patience: whether going with the pickiest buyers to see an exorbitant number of listings until they find the “one” perfect home, or attending a closing after a final walkthrough on the other side of town, Rita will always come through for her clients without a moment’s hesitation. I’ll always recommend Rita Kerins to all of my friends and co-workers and will ask her to be my agent whenever I go to sell my property and buy my next place. She’s that good!!

Rita was fantastic. By the second time out looking she had a really good idea of what we liked and didn’t like. She is very easy to work with and takes her time to explain things to first time home buyers like ourselves. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Pam Panya
Rita was so enjoyable and professional to work with. She was referred to us by a close friend, and we liked her so much that we’ve already referred to her to several people. Efficient, thorough, and always there to answer any questions that we had. She was full of knowledge and was always to quick to respond to all of the questions we had as first-time buyers. Working with Rita made home-buying very painless and fun!

Rita recently helped my husband and I find a house in Chicago. Rita was patient and passionate about helping my family get into our new, perfect home. She knew what was important to our family and even kept my daughter busy while my husband and I took detailed tours of the home she was showing. We also used Rita as our buying agent in 2003 when we purchased our condo that is now our investment property. Rita not only put us in a terrific house but is also supportive of us growing our real estate portfolio.
