Donald Hickey-RE/MAX Associates

Don was the greatest. Quick to respond to emails, texts and calls during my try-​plex sale. 30 day escrow and a great price as well. Don knows his way around all the inspections and knows many of the inspectors personally which always helps. I felt like I was his only client throughout the sale process but found out he was working with 3 or 4 others at the same time. He’s very patient as he spent months finding my daughter a great house a few months ago.

Don Hickey has been helping our family with real estate transactions for over 10 years. He has helped us with the sale of three homes, 2 of which were short sales. He is very efficient and knows how to get things done! Don helped me purchase an investment property in Murrieta in 2009 which went very smoothly and has been a good investment.
He has been helpful when we wanted to have a loan modification on our primary residence in 2008, and he is knowledgeable with many helpful contacts. He is available for advice whenever I have a real estate or tenant question.
I would recommend Don Hickey and his team without reservation!

I have been working w/​Don since the early 2000s when I got discharged from the military. He helped me get my first home and found another after I got married with kids. Not only has Don helped me but also helped my loved ones and coworkers buy and sell homes as well. If you think it can’t be done… this guy will make things happen. Thanks Don the whole family and friends thank you!

Worked with Don to purchase a condo as an investment. He not only found me a great condo to buy (doubled my investment in less than 24 months) but he also was a great help in managing the property. Got me great tenants and never had any pay problems. And when I was ready to sell, he found me a well qualified buyer and we sold it quick.
I don’t know what more you could ask a realtor to do except maybe cook you dinner and I bet he would do a great job of that as well. Thanks Don for all you did for me with this real estate investment.

Don helped our family buy our first home. As a new homebuyer, I was nervous and not sure where to begin. Don was more than helpful in every aspect of our home buying experience. He sat down with my wife and I to determine what we could afford. He explained everything in detail and answered all of our questions. Once we established our budget, Don got us pre-​approved for our loan immediately (VA Loan). Although our home search lasted a few months, Don was more than patient and eager to help us find the perfect home. We finally found the home my wife and I wanted to buy, but it was a short-​sale. I was worried that it would take too long to close and that I would have to extend my apartment lease until the closing date. Don was able to close escrow within 30 days on this short-​sale property!
After separating from the Marine Corps, my wife and I decided to move back home to Chicago. We immediately called Don for his help. He was able to sell our home quickly for the price we wanted. It’s going to be difficult to find a real estate professional like Don here in Chicago. Don, Thanks again.

Don helped me buy my condo in Eastlake in March of 2010. He is very knowledgeable and helped me out with every step of the process. Some realtors tend to be pushy and want to sell you whatever can make them the most profit. Not the case here. In a world where people cherish the almighty dollar, Don puts his customers first. I have recommended him to many of my friends and he is the only person I will turn to when I purchase my next place. Thanks again Don and keep up the great work!

Don helped me purchase my condo in Normal Heights. I was looking for a speedy escrow and a reliable home. Other real estate agents I had met with in the past seemed pushy, but Don was extremely caring, thorough and patient from the start.
I viewed the condo in mid-​September 2013 and Don helped me close escrow by December 2013. He also referred me to a great loan broker, Chris Wagner at Rancho Financial, who helped me get a loan approved immediately – and at a great rate with credit toward my escrow fees.
Don made himself available to answer any and all of my questions throughout the entire process and took the initiative to check in with me even when I didn’t have any questions. Whenever there was an opportunity to save me money or time, Don was on top of it.
Overall, I had an easy and fantastic experience. My family (my dad has experience in the real estate business) and friends were impressed with how much money I saved and how quickly I was able to move into my new home, where I am happily living now. :)
