A Trejo, LLC – iQ Rentals

My husband and I are relocating to the Chicago area in a month. I reached out to Andy a few weeks ago with our criteria and he responded quickly, continually kept us up to date with listings and was always available to answer my questions via email. This past weekend, we flew out to Chicago (rather last minute but Andy made sure he had time for us… which was awesome!) and Andy drove us around the city to tour apartments.
Throughout our time there he was very helpful and informative, patient with our questions and indecisiveness, and was attentive to what we wanted.
By the end of our weekend Andy had found us a perfect place and we could not be happier! All in all a great experience!

I recently leased an apartment where Andy represented the landlord. Andy is very professional and was available to answer questions at every point in the process. Thank you for making the process easier for me Andy.

If I could give Andy 10 stars I would! He is so accommodating to every need and always is optimistic about everything. He would return a call or text within 10 minutes and always be there if I was unsure about something or needed help. He met us whenever we wanted to see a place, even if it was just one! He guided us in the right direction and even though I had a million questions, he always was patient and helpful He was so great and I can’t wait to use him when we buy a house – you CANNOT go wrong with Andy! Thank you SO much for ALL you did =)

Andy is great. He goes out of his way to help you, answer any questions, take you to any homesite that you want to see. After meeting and talking with me, he knew what I liked and what my needs would be. I’m renting a great apartment that he recommended. I would recommend him to anyone.

After reading all the fantastic reviews on Unilocal,I contacted Andy to get our apartment search started. He responded within an hour! My best friend and I are moving from Texas to Chicago, so you can imagine how stressful a move like that must be. Andy really made our apartment search so, so easy! For two months, we were looking at units online and figuring out what we liked and didn’t like. He was in constant contact with us and answered all our questions. When we finally took our trip to Chicago, we met up with Andy. He was so nice, and it was great working with him and learning about the different neighborhoods in the city. He drove us around to look at the different options we had which was really helpful. The last unit we saw was «the one». We came back to Texas and got our lease signed. We will be moving in two months! I can’t thank Andy enough for making our move so simple and really being a great person to work with. If you’re moving across the state or even somewhere different in Chicago, I highly recommend working with Andy. He’s the bomb.
Thanks iQ Rentals!

My BF and I are moving to Chicago from NYC and Andy was recommended to us by a friend who also recently moved from the NorthEast to Chicago. And I would also have to recommend him to anyone else who is moving to Chicago! Andy was very pleasant to work with, listened to all our needs, and provided us with lots of great options. He was happy to take my cousin (who is from and lives in Chicago) around to view our favorite places so she could give us her opinion of the places in person. We found our dream apartment in less than a week! Lease signed! Oh and Andy made sure to check in on us during the lease signing process to make sure everything went smoothly. Great experience! Would recommend.

When my girlfriend and I were looking to make a cross-​state move to Chicago from Massachusetts, we spent a ton of time researching the area and finding rental apartments to look at. After a while, I got tired of how much time we were spending and found Andy’s name as one of the top results on Unilocal for rental realtors. Looking to save time, I texted him right away and it was one of the best decisions I made during my search for a new home in a new city.
If you want to get in touch with Andy, texting is your best route and he is VERY responsive when doing so. Best case, he’ll reply back to you right away, and worse case will be a couple of hours because he is driving to showings. On top of this, Andy will stay in touch with you to make sure he is meeting your needs — if you haven’t talked in a couple of days leading up to your appointment for showings, he’ll check in to see if you have any new questions.
We began the process with Andy about a week before our actual showings since we were flying in from the east coast. The night I contacted him, he entered our information and search criteria into the local realty search system for Chicago. Now, this system looks to be the same for most of rental realtors in the area. What set Andy apart from the other ones (since I ended up getting registered for multiple people through calling about properties on Zillow before talking w/​Andy) is that Andy’s search settings led to the most results out of all my accounts in the system. Most of the other people that I had an account with led to 1 – 2 search results every few days while Andy’s settings sent me the latest results twice a day w/​0 – 15 results each time. This alone was great and saved my girlfriend and I a ton of time since all we had to do was set a place as «interested» in the tool and Andy took care of organizing the showings.
On the day of the showings, we met Andy at the first place. Once we were done there, Andy then drove us in his car to all of the other showing he had organized for us and dropped us off back at our rental car near the first showing. During the showings themselves, he was attentive to how we reacted to each place, was not pushy to move us along at all, and made sure all of our questions were answered if the online listing was missing something.
After the showings, Andy continued to be just as communicative and was a wonderful middle-​man between us and the people managing the properties we were interested in. If there were problems with the application process or we had questions, he was quick to get in touch with the property owner and get us an answer.
We are still in the midst of finalizing a location to live in, but all in all, I could not have asked for someone better to help us in finding a new rental home. The 5-​star ratings here are well-​deserved as he devotes the time and attention to your needs.

So let me start by saying 5 stars are well deserved — I would give more if I could. Andy is the real deal. You will not find a harder working advocate anywhere. He is tenacious about getting you into a place you love quickly.
I am currently living downtown and needed a two bedroom in a reasonable price range and Andy went to work. I knew I would have to move away from downtown to get that. Andy found multiple listings and went to work on getting appointments. I swear there is not a lazy bone in his body! We looked at several units and then it happened — THE ONE! I knew it when I walked in the place and it just kept getting better. He is THE BEST!!!

This was my second time apartment searching and my first time using a broker/​real estate agent. I flew in from San Francisco on Friday with a one-​way ticket so I was looking to find a place a.s.a.p. On Saturday, I scheduled a few places to visit and didn’t really find anything appealing. So, I go online and find Andy here at iQ Rentals with all these 5 star reviews.
I text him first thing on Sunday morning around 10:00 am and exactly like all the reviews stated, he answered immediately. Absolutely incredible. He responds asking for a list of my preferences by email and I quickly send him a list of my notes. Within the hour he is booking places for showings and I couldn’t have been more ecstatic. He got me scheduled with every apartment I wanted to see and personally drove me around town himself! I couldn’t be more grateful for what Andy has provided for me. He really does go out of his way to make this experience a pleasant one.
With Andy, you can definitely tell that he LOVES his job and genuinely helps people find what they’re looking for. It’s also very pleasant to see the relationship he has with the majority of leasing offices in this city. I couldn’t be more impressed with the professionalism and services Andy has provided for me. He went way above and beyond what I was expecting.
I ended up applying for an apartment by the end of the day. It wasn’t one on my list but I’m so glad Andy snuck it in to our busy itinerary. Highly, highly recommend Andy to anyone apartment searching in the Chicago area! Seriously amazing what he pulled off on a Sunday, unreal.
TL;DR: I contacted Andy on Sunday morning and applied for an awesome apartment that day. A+++ for Andy. Highest of recommendations for this insanely hard-​working guy!

Don’t bother contacting these guys. They are too busy and can’t take any clients at this time. They did respond immediately though.

Andy took us around Chicago all day until I found the perfect apartment in my price range. Would definitely recommend and use again.

I contacted Andy after reading all of his great reviews on Unilocal.Needless to say, he did not disappoint. From the moment of first contact through my signing, I had near immediate responses and assistance. He arranged a full day of places to see and was even able to incorporate more places as he better understood what I was looking for. The great relationships that he has with many building mangers and staff also opened up additional opportunities in our search.
Overall, he was able to make the entire process relaxed and stress free and helped me to find the place that I loved. I will be sure to recommend his services to everyone I know making a Chicago move and he will be the first one I contact for a future move!

Andy is a consummate professional. He catered to every single one of our desires in looking for a new home, despite neither of us having any credit. He was very quick to respond and sent us over 100 new listings the DAY we asked for help. If your looking for rental property in Chicago, you’d be an idiot to work with anyone else. Thank you for everything Andy!

I discovered Andy after reading his reviews on Unilocal.I figured I should make a review of my own to express how happy I was with his services!
Andy was very helpful — I sent him a message and got a response later that day. Within 24 hours he had arranged a few different viewings. I had a great experience working with him and would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a fun and professional leasing agent!
I traveled into Chicago specifically to find an apartment, I was a little concerned that my budget and move in dat (within 3 weeks) would make finding a place difficult, but Andy helped me find a perfect place in less than a day! Everything worked out perfectly!
I’ll be calling Andy the next time I need to rent an apartment in the city! He is very efficient and knows the city well.

Steve Batista recently helped me find an apartment. I usually don’t do the review thing, but he gave me an extraordinary experience. Whenever I deal with agents, they’re always pushy and trying to make me sign a lease to an apartment I’m not 100% on. Steve was knowledgable and had patience with me. Thanks for the help. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend IQ rentals and Steve Battista.

Andy was extremely helpful in finding a place for me. His response time was immediate, and I found it particularly interesting that he has a relationship with a vast group of property managers in the downtown Chicago area. I definitely recommend acting fast, as the prices only go up during the months of March and April
Heading into the summer time.
Again, a great experience overall. Thanks Andy!

My experience has been particularly with Andy from iQ. He is awesome to work with, he knows his stuff and he provides so much info. He is also really laid back so finding an apartment isn’t the chore that it sometimes can feel like. Definitely recommend looking into iQ rentals in your next apartment search!

Andy Trejo made our apartment searching a very enjoyable experience. He was very knowledgable and friendly, which is a winning combination. Not only did he show us potentially desirable units, but he also helped counsel is through the decision making process in a very helpful manner. I would certainly recommend Andy to anyone!

Andy was more a friend than a broker. He took personal interests in finding out the best apts/​condos based on our requirement. Me and my fiancée were doing a complete relocation to Chicago and Andy was able to set us up with right properties and people to talk to. We finally ended up getting the apartment we needed because of Andy. I worked with 5 brokers apart from Andy and he was by the far the best among them as he was passionate about his work unlike other people. Just trust him and he will find you the best deals in Chicago.
Also, the great thing about him is he responds immediately and always keeps his clients posted via message and e-​mail. We had a great time with him and would highly recommend Andy to other people looking for the best apts/​condos in the highly competitive chicago market.

Andy made finding a new place a breeze!
I’ve worked with quite a few real estate agents since relocating to Chicago (moving for the 3^rd time) and Andy was by far the best. He was extremely attentive to what I was looking for and then took the time to show me suitable (!) options, as well as give me helpful insights into the surrounding neighborhood.
Andy responds to emails, phone calls and texts, no matter what the hour of the day. This was important to me because my job is hectic and I needed someone who understood and respected that and could work around those parameters.
I would highly recommend Andy as someone who will find you a great apartment. When I buy in 12 months time I will definitely be utilizing his services again.
