Cecily Crowther-RE/MAX Signature

At the start of the Great Recession, I was thinking of investing in real estate. It seemed wise. Interest rates were low and there was a lot of property available. With Cecily’s help I looked at foreclosures for a year. A friend told me «no realtor would do that for you!» Cecily is not ‘any realtor’.
I did finally find a 2-​flat in 2010. The closing, under Cecily’s direction only took 90 days — this was quite impressive for short sales at that time. Even the banks didn’t know how to handle them. She introduced me to a reputable contractor who handled all the necessary remodeling. To make sure I understood how to be an effective landlord, Cecily suggested that I take a class at the Chicago Realtor Association. I learned invaluable lessons from real estate professionals and met other like-​minded investors.
Cecily has a big world view. She’s travelled and worked all over the world. She really understands that what someone wants in a home varies tremendously. She’ll spend the time getting to know you and finding the right buyer or the right home for you to purchase. She invests in her clients.
Cecily is my first call with any real estate needs, you can trust her to navigate today’s complex real estate market.

We started slow with Cecily. She took over from Chicago Apartment Finders after they had done nothing to market my condo rental after 6-​months. Cecily got in and had renters within one month who ended up staying for 3-​years.
Next we put our house in Garfield Ridge for sale and wanted to move into the near-​north area of Chicago. Cecily helped us get our old house in selling shape, helped us touch base with the owners of a mansion we wanted in Old Town, sold our old house and helped us to close a deal on the mansion on Christmas eve. We closed on both deals within one month of each-​other and couldn’t be happier. Our Old Town property is now worth double what we paid for it.
Now we are trying to sell our condo and of course Cecily is our broker.
I could not recommend Cecily more. She will do everything she can to make her customers happy and get the best deal possible for them.

Cecily will work extremely hard for you. My wife and I hired her as our selling agent. Cecily responded immediately to all our questions, provided expert advice on negotiating our sale, and worked tirelessly to get prospective buyers into our unit. She is honest, attentive, and extremely knowledgable. I’d recommend her to anyone.

Cecily did a great job of helping us find our new home, she was with us every step of the way offering tips and advice. She began to feel more like a friend than just our realtor. We are very happy with all she did for us, she was very proactive in finding us listings that ultimately led us to our new home. We would highly recommend her to anyone!
