Real Stories from Des Plaines Sellers

"I found Windy City HomeBuyer through a BBB search. They were rated high and deserve the rating. Tomas followed up with my inquiry within hours of me putting in an inquiry. I closed on my house within 21 days because their offer was fair. Tomas was professional, a no-haggle professional, and he was kind and forthcoming when negotiating the deal. I'd recommend Tomas and Windy City HomeBuyer to others."

I was recently the buyer's agent for one of the homes that was rehabbed by Windy City Home Buyer. I was so impressed with the quality and attention to detail. This company definitely knows what they are doing and I would not hesitate to do business with them again. Truly great people to work with.
