The O’Keefe Cibula Group – Conlon A Real Estate Co.

Kevin helped my wife and I sell our first house and then purchase our current house. He was very professional and great at communicating the next steps along the way so we didn’t have any surprises. Kevin knows the market very well and he listened patiently to better understand what we were looking for so we had some specific metrics to measure against in our search.
I will continue to recommend Kevin to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

After meeting with 3 other agents for the potential sale of my condo, Megan was recommended to me through a mutual friend. Her combination of knowledge and enthusiastic personality won me over in minutes and 2 years later, I can still say that working with her has been nothing short of perfection. It’s important to me to feel that my agent has my best interests at heart first and foremost, and Megan has demonstrated that she understands this time and again.
Through her well-​supported advice, I ended up renting out my unit, a transition I was nervous about. Megan made this process completely painless with her consistent follow-​up, availability and desire to find the right fit. This past year, when the lease was up for my first tenant, Megan handled everything efficiently and found me another dream tenant within days. Having someone I can trust to handle all of this from 600 miles away has been more than this self-​admitted control freak could ever ask for.
Working with Megan, and by extension the O’Keefe Cibula Group, is like working with family. Megan continues to have my business and my trust.

I have had multiple amazing experiences with Sam as a real estate agent. I’ve purchased two homes with her, and contemplated several others over a ten year period. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market, and isn’t afraid to push me and my spouse as buyers to think critically about whether we think we are settling or really do want to live in the space that we think we want to live in. She was a voice of reason in remembering the things we had expressed as important to us in a home, and echoes them back to us when we’ve expressed interest in making an offer and the home may not have what we want. She also is very competent in pricing and expectations, and wasn’t afraid to tell us in our last purchase that, while she would put in any offer we were comfortable with, she thought we could go lower than we initially wanted to, based on her knowledge and feelings. We took the risk and she was correct — more than once. Real Estate can be very fast moving, and Sam has also always been very very prompt in replying to emails and phone calls, so as not to miss any opportunities. She finds a way to make things work and acts very quickly on things.
Additionally, I’ve had the opportunity more recently to work with Megan on the rental side. She knows the ins and outs of the rental market and easily found us the perfect tenants for one of our condos — meanwhile helping us along the way to determine rent and lease guidelines.
I highly recommend both Sam and Megan and feel lucky to have had the opportunity to do all my real estate transactions thus far in life through them.

Samantha has been our realtor for a number of years through a variety of transactions. She truly can’t be beat in terms of knowledge, expertise, and practical advice. We generally think of ourselves as being pretty tuned in to the market, but Sam has repeatedly impressed us with very savvy observations and insights that we never would have made on our own. We’ve had the opportunity to work with most of the others in the group as well and have had the same great experience with each of them. It’s obvious working with them that they want to help you make the best decision for your situation, not just a quick sale or purchase. They have your best interests in mind. I highly recommend them!

Working with Megan is a dream! She is knowledgeable and professional, and very enjoyable to work with. I appreciate her responsiveness and accessibility.

Sam patiently guided us through seeing house after house until we found our dream home. We were looking across the north side in a variety of school districts and neighborhoods. Sam adjusted easily as we narrowed in on what we were seeking. She was incredibly knowledgeable on the pros and cons of different parts of the city. When we found a home that seemed good enough and met our criteria, Sam encouraged us to keep looking. After falling in love with a house Sam negotiated an incredible price for us that made our dream home a reality. During a hot market, Sam made sure we saw any new properties that interested us as soon as they were available to give us the best chance of getting the home we wanted. She made sure we didn’t miss any opportunities while still aligning the timing around our schedule. On occasion we also had the opportunity to meet others from the O’Keefe Cibula Group who were also very helpful.
Sam sold our Wicker Park condo quickly. Her team advised us to make a variety of easy, inexpensive changes that helped our condo show very well, and buyers responded exactly as she had predicted. Within the first weekend it was on the market we had multiple offers.
Even after our move Sam has been a valuable adviser on real estate trends, helping us understand which home changes will add the most value to our property. I would highly recommend the O’Keefe Cibula group for your real estate purchase or sale.
