Gold Coast Realty Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

Worked with Cathleen and Leo. As first-time home buyers, we had a million questions and plenty of nerves, but Cathleen Walker made the entire process an absolute breeze! She was patient and always just a call or text away. If you need a real estate agent who truly cares, she’s the one to call!

We worked with Christina and Matt from the Riordan Mercer Group and had a phenomenal experience. They were patient, quick to respond, helpful with every aspect of our search - from showing us numerous properties to meticulously handling the offer, acceptance, and closing process. As out of town buyers, we couldn't have navigated our search as seamlessly and enjoyably as we did without the help of the Riordan Mercer group.

Cathleen was very helpful through the home buying process. She would always research properties to tour and would find those that best suited my preferences.

My agent, Cathleen Walker, helped me purchase my condo in Chicago and then helped me rent out a residential property that I own. In both cases, she was professional and courteous and always had my interest at heart. She led me through both transactions carefully each step of the way and reassured me and advised me on the best way forward. She was very knowledgeable about the market and helped get the best price to buy my condo. I am very happy with Cathleen's work. I joy to work with!

I worked together with Cathleen Walker to sell a piece of real estate. Cathleen was able to reach COE at FCV within 3 months in a building that usually goes under FCV and takes almost a year to sell.

Cathleen also went above and beyond as I was/am out of country and helped me move out, went to a consignment store (it was my mother's condo), and even shipped me what was left over. I don't need to say more, most friends I have wouldn't do that for me.

Like most agents, Cathleen is very nice and communicable, however, above all Cathleens dedication to her clients really showed and if I am ever looking in the Chicago Land Area or Cathleen relocates, I have one phone number to call. Especially if I want to sell, and are looking to reach COE quickly, Cathleen follow's every lead. You will not be disappointed.

5 Stars, I highly recommend. 🙂

Andrea Vallejo is the best luxury broker in Chicago.

I reached out to Gold Coast Realty — an amazing resource for browsing available and verified properties in the Chicago region in itself — and Andrea contacted me that day. She demonstrated world-class customer service and professionalism throughout our experience working with Gold Coast Realty, including:

1. Rapid response time to me, along with lightening speed outreach to the landlords of homes in which we were interested.
2. Daily sets of homes according to our preferences, immediately as they appeared on the market, or as they had price reductions. She also provided insight into when we could expect the frequency of available homes to start increasing, based on our move date.
3. Thoughtful consideration of our feedback about likes/dislikes of toured properties to help focus our search.
4. Valuable, Chicago-native-level insight about the pros and cons of neighborhoods in Chicago, with consideration of our preferences.
5. Flexibility as we changed the main neighborhoods we were looking in.
6. Quick, efficient communication and process when it came time to apply and sign our lease.

Andrea is the utmost professional, but also very personable and relatable. It is evident that she loves the Chicago region and has a natural talent for helping folks find their dream neighborhood AND home. Thank you for all you’ve done for us, Andrea!

Of course, the most important evidence of her work: we quickly found our dream home and couldn’t be happier with our experience finding it.

I highly recommend working with Andrea Vallejo and using Gold Coast Realty to help you find your next neighborhood and home!

I had a great experience working with Andrea Vallejo during my apartment search in Chicago. Although I was in a time constraint to find a new place upon moving to the city, she helped me find a great place, at my preferred location, and within my budget. She is very professional and prompt in her responses and lead the conversation with the landlord the entire time. I highly recommend working with her if you are looking to rent/buy a place.

Renee Jaquez was extremely helpful when it came to finding a new apartment. She was very easy to reach and always got back to my boyfriend and I with any questions we had regarding apartments we were interested in. She worked with our schedules and was very patient with the whole process. Renee is very knowledgeable and knew exactly what we were looking for. Once we found our apartment, she made the process of signing our lease very easy. We highly recommend her!
