Faced with the difficult task of a long distance move from Laguna Beach, California to the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago in April of 2024 we were very lucky to have found Andrew Congenie to assist and guide us into a new home. We arrived in late April and Andrew met with us to discuss what we hoped to find. He got to work finding a number of homes that fit our needs and we began the process in a difficult sellers market where sales occurred quickly with multiple bids. With Andrew’s direction we found a number of homes in the Crystal Lake, McHenry and Barrington suburbs that fit our needs but slipped away due to the strong competition of multiple bids. Throughout this process Andrew offered excellent advice and made sure our offers were in a range that protected us from over-paying in the then market environment. Andrew continued to provide us with inventory until in June we found the perfect home in McHenry. He assisted us with each stage of the purchase and offered excellent professional referrals for our home inspection and closing attorney services. Andrew is a gifted professional who we strongly recommend for all your real estate needs.
