Lakeview Realty & Leasing

Taylor Erdman is good broker because he cares! My husband and I knew we wanted to stay in the city and raise a family but it would be a true challenge to find our «forever» house. We had very specific requirements — just a few neighborhoods we would consider, a price range that was inflexible, and a list of amenities within the property that were deal breakers. Taylor stuck with us through thick and thin! He was as dedicated to finding our «forever» home as we were. Once we did find the house, Taylor worked really well with the seller’s broker and kept us updated with information at every point in the process. I highly recommend Taylor!

Imagine you had an uncle that was in the real estate business who not only gave you first crack at most listings, but gave you such personal attention you’d swear he was renting the place himself. Well that is Taylor at Lakeview realty and then some!
I was looking for a loft in the west loop, and had VERY specific requirements. I wanted a true loft. I was extremely picky about the buildings I wanted to be in. I had a ton of questions, and wanted to see a lot of units before finding my perfect apartment. Ok I will say it, I was a needy client.
Taylor was a dream leasing agent/​broker, and really understood what I wanted. In fact he knew what I wanted so well he would even say to me, «I will take you to see this unit, but I don’t think it is what you want.» Taylor was very proactive, and kept an eye out ²⁴⁄₇ for any new listings that met my desires. He didn’t once let a listing go by without me knowing about it right away.
But what I am most impressed with was how Taylor stuck with me. We looked for several months, because I wanted a killer apartment, with a city view, in a certain neighborhood, with a certain class to it, in a true loft style, with character, blah blah… Taylor never once got annoyed by how many units I didn’t want, or with my many calls and emails with questions about apartments. He stuck with me until the end!
And then, Taylor found me a beautiful apartment. He knew I loved this building, and he watched it like a hawk for new listings. He called and researched and checked every day on my behalf. One day my apartment came up and he notified me immediately when he saw the listing. He called them on my behalf, and got me in FIRST to see this highly coveted unit. He was patient and extremely helpful with my complicated application and worked with a tirelessly good attitude to help me secure the place as my home.
Every step of the application and lease Taylor was my partner — he helped me navigate and successfully get it done, and was über professional all the time.
So my advice to anyone looking to lease or buy in Chicago — call Lakeview. Forget anyone else you might be thinking about calling. Drop your current broker. Trust me, I spoke to them all, and they will not handle your search as well as Taylor.
So, now please go get your phone, push the buttons to dial Lakeview, and tell Taylor what you are looking for. I guarantee he will find it.
