Chicago Condo Finder

Recently married, my husband and I decided to purchase our first home. I found Helaine online while searching for a specific condo. I called her on a Saturday afternoon, asking if I could see the unit, and she arranged the showing on the same day!
From there one, Helaine worked closely with me to find a unit that would match everything that my husband and I were hoping for. She demonstrate excellent expertise in her area and gained my confidence.
It took only a couple of weeks to find the perfect match. In the meantime, my husband and I were traveling overseas for a few months, but Helaine managed to make the offer process seamless. Even though we had a 13-​hour time zone difference, she was very responsive via text, e-​mail or phone.
Once our offer was accepted while we were still out of the country, Helaine guided us from start to end, taking care of every detail, and referring good professionals to help with the buying process. (inspector and attorney). When we returned to the U.S.A., we had our beautiful home ready to move in!
We highly recommend Helaine, and will use her services again in the future!

Helaine Cohen is fantastic! She is the epitome of what a broker should be. She comprehends and embraces your needs and desires, and makes it her personal mission to fulfill them. She truly believes that if there is a will, there is a way, and her work ethic reflects this. I cannot recall any e-​mails that weren’t responded to within a couple hours, if not a few minutes, no matter what time of day it was. In addition, she has a great fund of knowledge as well as a strong business network, making her extremely resourceful and effective. Of note, her website is the best that I found – it is the most organized and easy to navigate. She has been invaluable in my search (and purchase!!) of a condo in Chicago, a city I will be new to. She has made such a daunting task seamless and almost effortless. Helaine is the complete package – she has a solid understanding of the market, she is well-​integrated into the business, and most importantly, she commits herself to her customers and will advocate for you. I highly, highly recommend her!

Helaine Cohen is the best real estate agent I have had the pleasure of working with. She was able to sell our house in a couple of weeks, help us find a new place to purchase and time the sale and purchase so we did both closings on the same day! Helaine was always available to show us properties, even at the last minute. She helped us negotiate a great price for both sale and purchase and is simply a lovely talented agent! I highly recommend Helaine! She knows the Chicago market!

Used to be a 5 star rating but now only 1 since they removed the monthly assessment from the listing. Wastes a lot of time. You’ll see an amazing condo in your price range and then find out that the monthly assessment is $ 1,799. No longer user friendly for online searches.

Helaine was amazing and really made our search enjoyable. She advised us of neighborhoods, really took the time to notice our style & preferences, and made the process very easy. She went above & beyond. Simply AMAZING!

I had the good luck of working with Helaine Cohen last year while looking for a condo downtown Chicago. I found her on an online search engine, with no referrals. Without a doubt, Helaine is at the top of her game. She is one of the best resources you can have while looking for a home. She is informative, punctual, prepared and caring. From the start to finish, Helaine’s professionalism was most impressive. Her bubbly and fun personality is an added plus. You always feel like her most important client. She responds to you promptly, and delivers outstanding, excellent service. I highly recommend Helaine to anyone looking for a great home. Very solid 5 stars.
