Mike Opyd

Mike was really great through our whole process. I would say what stood out most to us is the speed and quality of his response to any questions that we had — no matter how small the questions were or what time of day or the week it was. Mike was extremely helpful in walking us through the entire process; he gave us an initial presentation to acquaint us with the real estate market (first time buyers), drove us to all the showings, helped immensely through the bidding process, and was right there to help with our closing. He is even helping us find a renter for our old place, which is one more way he’s gone above and beyond for us.
Thanks Mike!

Mike was my agent when I bought my house one month ago. He is a great agent! As a first time home buyer, I know nothing about the process of buying a house. To buy a house you will need all kinds of knowledge, location, property tax, price compare, house structure, loan, law. I honestly know nothing about these. Mike helped me from the beginning, and explained everything clearly and easily.
I was always nice to work with him, he is very responsive to email, and never late on appointment. He also has a great team, which provide very competitive loan rate, good house inspection and law services.
Many thanks to Mike!

it was absolute pleasure to work with Mike. He made our property shopping excperience nice and stress less: all questions vere answered (including anoying one :)), everything accuratly planned, structurised and on schedule (just like it should be)
And I’ll definetly recommend him to a friend

Mike is a great agent. With his help, we recently closed on the sale of our condo in what many people would call a transitional area, and it required educating buyers on the potential and value in buying it. Mike was already knowledgeable of most of the development nearby and took the time to research anything he wasn’t already aware of, all to help the sale.
We also set a very firm minimum sale price, and despite receiving many offers under that amount, Mike was patient with us as we turned many down while insisting on getting what we wanted. Needless to say, we weren’t Mike’s easiest clients to deal with and the selling circumstances weren’t ideal, but Mike kept at it through well over 40 individual showings and numerous negotiations to get us our price. In the end, we’re extremely satisfied with our sale and look forward to working with Mike on the purchase of our next home.

Mike was really easy to work with. He is patient, not pushy. He was available and responsive, and he was knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and building where we were seeking to buy our first condo. I would highly recommend Mike.

Mike was fantastic to work with as first-​time homebuyers. My boyfriend and I really appreciated how quick Mike was to respond to anything we had questions about. We appreciated him meeting with us for coffee before we looked at places to help us understand the process and to get to know us a bit. We (very luckily) found an amazing condo our first trip out with Mike, and he helped us negotiate a great deal that worked in our favor. If we ever move, we’ll definitely be working with Mike again!

I can’t thank Mike enough for everything he has done. After going through 2 agents in one year, I was really hoping that this time I would find the one. His professionalism, quick response, honesty and knowledge of the market is what makes him someone you want on your side. He made the entire closing process a great experience for me and I am certain he will do the same for YOU! You will not regret it.

Mike helped me sell my condo in Gold Coast. He did a great job; was very responsive, professional and effective. Highly recommend.

Mike has been amazing to work with. As a first time home buyer, he was available 24×7 to answer our questions. The sheer volume of houses that he put together for us proves his dedication and willingness to go above and beyond. He was super patient and supportive throughout the process. Sets expectations up ahead in the process which helped us go in prepared. We are so glad we got to work with him and will definitely go back to him in the future!

Mike was absolutely terrific throughout the entire process of purchasing my condo. The process began with us sitting down for coffee to discuss my criteria and Mike immediately set me up on MLS for us to schedule showings. Mike was extremely flexible in the scheduling of the showings and we soon moved quickly on an offer once I saw my future condo. Mike did an incredible job orchestrating the communication among all of the parties. I would recommend him for anyone looking to buy a home.

Mike is an amazing realtor with a true passion for real estate and helping his clients. We met with him in April of last year and he worked with us until we found the place we wanted, almost a year later. Being new to Chicago, we appreciated the time he put in showing us properties in different neighborhoods we were interested in and felt we were in good hands while working with him. Throughout the entire process, he was very attentive, kind, and always answered any questions we had. It was a pleasure to work with him and we sincerely appreciate how patient, responsive, and invested he was during our home buying process.

Mike is a powerhouse agent. Answers a phone call or text any time of the day/​night. He truly lives and breathes this. He helped my wife and I from day 1 look at so many different places so we could help narrow down our options. Once we found something we loved, he made it smooth and seamless to get our offer in and routinely made sure we were good to go. I’d recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy a home in Chicago!

Mike was easy to work with throughout the entire process of finding our condo. My fiancée and I are new to the city and changed/​added areas to our search over time, and Mike was very accommodating in helping us to find a place that worked for us and get everything from his end done very quickly. He was consummately professional, polite and open with us through the entire process. As others have said, he also is up to date on using electronic document verification and made paperwork from his end a breeze. I will be more than happy to recommend Mike to my friends and colleagues in the future.

Mike was recommended to us by another couple and we were lucky enough to work with him! Being first-​time buyers, we thought Mike was very honest and insightful about the process and Chicagoland area, respectively. He was extremely responsive and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our process was smooth and hassle-​free — we felt protected the entire time. Mike was proactive and kept us informed of all next steps early in advance so that we could plan completing the next phase on time. We would highly recommend him, thanks for all of your support, Mike!

Mike is a fantastic realtor for any first-​time home buyer (especially one that is new to the area!) He took the time to explain everything I would need to know about buying in Chicago — he broke down the pros and cons of each neighborhood I was interested in, explained the real estate market then & now, walked me through the process from start to finish, etc… I never had to ask a question because he was always one step ahead of me providing me with all the details I would need. He was patient, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. He also uses electronic documents (docusign, dropbox, google docs) which makes it really easy to review/​sign from anywhere! I would 100% recommend Mike Opyd and the Matt Laricy Group!

Mike was always extremely responsive from day one, replying to emails minutes after I sent them, regardless of time of day. Another big plus of his group was that all documents were submitted electronically. I have no idea how many other realtors do this, but it was a huge time saver considering the number of offers we put in! He was also very patient with us considering we were looking for over a year and probably set the record for homes he’s taken clients to. He is a very personable guy who was easy to get along with yet still professional. We were satisfied with his services from beginning to end and would recommend giving him a shot when interviewing realtors!

We found Mike through Unilocal.He was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional, honest, and very easy to work with. He was very patient with us as it almost took an entire year for us to find a condo we fell in love with. We were first time buyers and very nervous about buying our first condo. He was very honest with us and advised us against buildings he knew were not good buying opportunities. My wife and I also have very tight work schedules… but Mike was always willing to meet us at any time of day… he always made himself available via phone, email, or in person and gave us prompt replies. He was very knowledgeable about every building we visited and would point out advantages and disadvantages of every property we visited. He always questioned what we liked and didn’t seem to mind when we visited dozens of properties, while always focusing on our needs.
We ended up finding a condo we fell in love with and Mike was with us every step of the way! We were so happy with how everything worked out and loved working with Mike. He helped make first time condo buying relatively painless as possible, and gave us a lot of advice and tips along the way. He respected our budget and always gave us realistic expectations, never being too pushy or impatient to make a quick sale. I would highly recommend mike to all of our friends and family. Mike is extremely skilled and amazingly insightful and trustworthy!

Mike was extremely responsive every day from the start of my home search to the day of closing. I never felt alone in the process at any point, and always knew I’d have an answer within minutes of asking a question.

Mike was absolutely awesome to work with. He helped us with our condo purchase from start to finish, and cooperated with us very well at each step. He recommended the lawyer as well as house inspection. We went with his recommendations, and it was a great decision. He was always very punctual for our meetings, and patiently sat and discussed every step with us. He is very hard working, extremely enthusiastic about his work, and responds very quickly to emails, or calls. We would definitely recommend him for all of you out there who are wondering who to go with. With Mike’s help, we were able to go through the whole process, starting from condo hunting to buying one, very smoothly!

Mike is extremely knowledgable and professional and was very patient with me. He helped me through every step of purchasing my first home and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had. I thought it was going to be a challenge to purchase a condo in Chicago while I was in California the entire time, but Mike was very organized and made the entire process run smoothly.
