re: Megan Tirpak Real Estate Agent

I had a disappointing experience with this broker that I feel compelled to share. There were several issues that made me question the broker's professionalism and preparedness:

Punctuality: The broker arrived 30 minutes late to our initial meeting, which disrupted our schedule for the day.
Lack of property knowledge: During the viewing, it became apparent that the broker was not well-informed about the details of the property.

Inaccessible unit: Despite providing the legally required 3-day notice, we were unable to view one of the units.
Repeated scheduling issues: When attempting to reschedule, similar problems occurred. At the last minute, the broker again seemed unprepared, leaving us uncertain about whether the property details had been properly researched.

Given that this is a significant investment of approximately $1 million, I expected a higher level of service and professionalism.

Unfortunately, this experience has led me to lose confidence in this broker's ability to represent my interests effectively. I would recommend potential clients consider working with a different agent who can demonstrate greater reliability and preparedness.

We worked with David Rivera as a listing agent on a property we applied to rent. We ended up deciding to go with a different place, but David was one of the most pleasant and easy-to-work-with realtors of nearly ~20 we worked with in a long apartment search. Thank you, David!

Selling a home from out of state can be tricky, but we had such a great experience with Ayanna Savage! She was available and engaged from day one, with referrals for various vendors, coordination of scheduling, and on-site supervision. She walked us through each step of the listing and sale, offering professional advice where appropriate. The process was faster than expected thanks to Ayanna's guidance and attention to detail. We highly recommend her!

They bungled our closing and caused chaos on the day of due to not following through on their responsibilities and having no sense of urgency in remedying the situation, which distressed their own client who had already moved away out of state. They were the buyers agent, and we even had to go to their office across the city to get the keys to our place because the agent couldn’t be bothered to find the time to provide them to us. Incredibly unprofessional and would not recommend.

I am giving Mr. Patrick Hawkins Broker at @properties East Lincoln Park, 548 W Webster Ave, Chicago, IL 60614 a -5 stars.

Mr. Hawkins appeared to want to sell the house as quickly as possible, with House Flippers at the top of the list. Mr. Hawkins attitude and demeanor were not in the interest of the seller, but for the buyer.

The description for the House/Property was mediocre at best. Although the description was written toward House Flippers. The description of the house/property was limited on details.

The first month on the market Mr. Hawkins did not once attempted to schedule an open house for the listing. Showing were far and few, with negative comments about the pricing of the house. I did request to view all the comments the realtors made about the listing, but Mr. Hawkins refused to produce them for me. Mr. Hawkins also stated the House flippers remarked that the house was priced way to high.

After thirty-one (31) days on the market Mr. Hawkins lowered the price by $24,600 from the original listing price. Mr. Hawkins immediately scheduled an open house for the listing. An offer was made $4,900 less than the new listing price and accepted with no counter offer.

To sum things up, Mr. Hawkins was not very aggressive for the seller, but more for the buyer. Mr. Hawkins interest was more for selling to a flipper. Mr. Hawkins was out of his element/comfort zone, which Mr. Hawkins admitted to us. Mr. Hawkins market of business was in a Higher end neighborhood in the city as opposed to a middle-class neighborhood in the suburbs. Bottom line is I would not recommend doing Business with Mr. Hawkins.

If you have to deal with @properties broker. Run and run fast. This review is specific to Brian Aurelio and Iris Kohl. They are extremely disrespectful of your property and act without explicit permission to the extent that it can cross into possible legal suit. Their politeness comes off as insincere. Who wants to work with two-faced people? There are enough negative reviews in other places which suggests they are not worth your time.
