Matt is the best in the biz. We first met with Matt a year ago, before we were ready to buy, to get a better understanding of the home buying process. He met with us, gave us a clear understanding of the process and provided incredibly helpful resources for us to get & stay educated about the ever changing market A year later, when we were finally ready to buy, he helped us navigate the market and quickly negotiated an offer for us. During every step of the closing process, he and his team were extremely organized and clearly outlined next steps. And along the way, Matt & team consistently provided their insight & even provided us a list of referrals for during & after close As first time buyers, we were daunted by the home buying process but he & his team made it incredibly easy and stress free, which is testament to their expertise. If buying in Chicago, 100% recommend working with Matt. We’re looking forward to working with him in the future!

Amanda Damon

We cannot thank Matt & his team enough and highly recommend their services. Matt and his team made us feel like selling our property was their number one priority. He was honest but supportive throughout the process. His responsiveness was impeccable. His advice was accurate. During negotiations and follow up, Matt and his team truly made it painless. I would highly recommend this group for a positive and swift experience. And a huge bonus was their advanced social media/photography skills!

Yanxiang Ding

As a first time home buyer, I had a great experience with Matt and his team in searching, evaluating and buying a condo in downtown Chicago. The communication was effective and Matt has been very responsive. He was also patient with all kinds of questions. I appreciate that Matt has been very professional along the process and providing objective local knowledge that are helpful to my analysis and decision making. The process from offering to closing has been well organized with helpful resources and guidance at each step, which definitely made buying a home much easier. I'm very happy to have Matt as my agent, and I'd recommend Matt for anyone who wants to buy a home in Chicago area.

Sara Rapaport

We loved working with Matt and his team! My husband and I just purchased our first home through Matt and it was so great to work with him and his team! Matt was so responsive, attentive and honest with us. He was so knowledgeable about the real estate market and provided us with so much knowledge that we wouldn't have known otherwise! He was really great to work with and we felt so great throughout the whole process from start to finish! We couldn't recommend Matt more and we encourage anyone to work with him!!

Suruchi Batra

As a first time homeowner in a fairly chaotic housing market, I can honestly say that I would have been lost throughout the process without Matt and his team. Matt was quickly responsive to all of my many questions, was clearly knowledgeable about the market, and seemed to really enjoy what he was doing. There’s really nothing like working with a friendly team who seems to be having fun while working with you. I have already recommended Matt and his team to personal connections, which I think speaks volumes to my experience with them. I am very much in love with my new condo and am incredibly grateful for Matt and his team in helping me get here.

Sean

Working with Matt and team was a great experience. He was able to advise me when to put my condo up for sale given his expertise on the market. We were able get multiple offers on the property within 3 days of listing and accepted an offer shortly thereafter. The entire process was extremely smooth and there was excellent communication. I was able to call Matt anytime with questions or concerns. I could really tell he lives and breathes real estate. If you are a buyer/seller in Chicago, Matt is your guy!

Christina Hafemann

This is the second time I've used Matt and his team, this time to buy a condo. I really want to tell everyone to stop your search here, you’ve just found the best realtor. I'm more than impressed (again) with how easy and seamless they made the entire process. I purchased from out of state, while working nights, with barely any availability to oversee each step and I wasn’t present for most of it. I felt comfortable because Matt and his team are true professionals, and they operate like a well-oiled machine. They’ll get you the best deal, refer you to the best people when needed and literally take care of everything. I was barely involved and trusted Matt to have my best interests as his priority. Despite knowing that purchasing a property is one of life’s most stressful events, I was relaxed and happy, and the reason is because no matter what comes up, Matt’s got it. What meant the most to me though was that despite my buying a relatively inexpensive property, Matt and his team still treated me like I was their most important client (again). I’ll never use another realtor in Chicago and am pretty sad that they do not operate in other states. This is not a side hustle for them. They live, breathe, and love real estate and it shows. Their conduct and appearance radiate true professionalism and mastering of their industry. After the sale, Matt reached out several times to make sure that I didn’t need anything. He truly cares about his clients. This is what buying a property should feel like! To Matt, John Paul, Jamie, and the whole team – thank you so much for everything!

Sihan Mohamed

I am so happy to have had Matt as my realtor! He was extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago market and always transparent and honest when I’d ask questions about properties as well as the home buying process. He checked the boxes on all of the items that were very important to me in a realtor. He was easy to reach and always responsive. Throughout the entire process, he always checked in and followed up to ensure I was getting what I needed. His team was fantastic! Very efficient with scheduling showings that worked around my schedule, extremely organized and kept everyone on task during the offer, inspection, and closing stages. Matt and his team made what is normally a very stressful situation (especially during a pandemic market) a lot easier.

Adam Forman

Matt and his team were top-notch. As a licensed Realtor myself, I trusted Matt to sell my condo. Matt was honest, direct, and straight-forward. Matt proactively negotiated on my behalf throughout the process with fantastic results. It was a very smooth process and Matt's team drove the activity every step of the process. I got frequent updates and never felt like I had to reach out to get a status. While it was terrific working with Matt, I would be remiss not to mention Matt's team. They coordinated photos, updates, showings, etc. and ran a seamless process. The process couldn't have gone smoother, and I would highly recommend working with Matt and his team.

Kyra Nicholson

I would highly recommend Matt Laricy and his fantastic team. He made my first home purchase in Chicago a seemingly smooth process. Matt was able to address all of my questions and concerns and provided recommendations for which properties were in alignment with my personal preferences. Matt and Mickey were very knowledgeable about the South Loop area and the surrounding neighborhoods. I valued their opinion and found the perfect condo for me! His entire team is superb. Go to Matt to find your new home today!

jamie basile

Matt and his team were outstanding start to finish. I was a first time home buyer and the process was almost too easy. I felt cared for and attended too every step of the way. Matt was quick to respond to any question I had. He’s extremely competent, concise, and I was 100% comfortable trusting the advice he gave me. He has assembled a quality team ans I can’t say enough about how great my experience was with him.

Brenda Gonzalez

Matt and his team helped me purchase my first property and I consider myself extremely lucky to have found him. Matt and his team were on top of everything from the get go. They are knowledgeable, approachable and straightforward. Matt and his team made the homebuying process seem easy and stress free. I would definitely work with Matt again and I highly recommend that anyone who wants to buy/sell property in Chicago work with him as well.

Gytis Kavaliauskas

Matt and his entire team made the sale of our home effortless in a tough market. They were with us every step of the way from staging to listing to the final deal and closing and made everything seamless. We were well informed throughout the process with real time updates and feedback from every showing. Matt’s data driven marketing strategy and follow-up with realtors and potential buyers helped drive steady traffic and sell our property in a slow summer market. His team was very efficient during closing process minimizing our need to be involved. We will certainly work with Matt for our future real estate transactions.

Megan Miri

Matt is absolutely fantastic. My husband and I worked with Matt and his team to buy a condo. As a first time buyer, we were completely clueless before we started looking, and before Matt, we tried two other realtors. With neither of them did we feel like the complexities of buying a home made sense to us, but Matt patiently helped us understand the process, and through his vast knowledge explained all the details. He also provided his honest opinions on every aspect which was extremely helpful for us to navigate through the ambiguities of the process. Everyone on Matt's team is excellent, and any problem or question we had, he either knew the answer to, or referred us to someone who did. Everyone on the team, especially Matt, were extremely responsive to our requests, always willing to help to make sure our needs were met. Without Matt's help and his fantastic team, we would not have been able to buy a unit in good conscience.

Cara Hughes

Matt Laricy and his team are hands down the most professional, honest, knowledgeable, and responsive group. Working with Matt and his team is like working with a well-oiled machine. He utilizes the most current technology to manage his clients and to attract the right buyers. We were very impressed with how organized his team was and how responsive they were. Matt has thought of everything a client would need and has a team to support you. Be prepared to expect personalized Wednesday and Saturday reports on the market and your home activity. We thought selling our home would be stressful and were pleasantly surprised with how easy and smooth it was. The only reason it was smooth was because of the level of support given by the Laricy group. Matt literally has a person for every step in the process. Matt and JP were able to sell our home at asking price in less than 2 weeks. If you are reading this to figure out if you should list with Matt, stop reading and call him. You will not be disappointed.

Travis Phillips

Matt and his team went above and beyond and made the entire process very seamless. As first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions and Matt never hesitated to talk us through each issue. He was extremely responsive and we were never left wondering what the next step was. We've never wrote a review for a service, but the experience with Matt and his team was too good not to share.

Krista Chinchilla

My husband and I worked with Matt and his team and recently closed on our first property. Matt, Jamie, and Jaime were so helpful throughout the process! We both work full time and were able to meet with/talk to the team when we were available; they were super responsive and made the homebuying experience easier than I expected it to be. We felt supported as we maneuvered this for the first time. It was great to have such a knowledgeable, professional, and fun team to work with - they made closing on our home (with multiple offers) possible. Thanks for your hard work!

Amelia Johnson

This was my second time working with Matt and his team. They are extremely professional and responsive to any questions or issues that may come up. Matt is incredibly aware of the current market and really knows the neighborhood I was looking in as well as the city of Chicago in general. It was such a pleasure to work with him again and the whole process went so smoothly. I would (and have) recommend him to anyone looking or selling in the area.

Natalie Tincher

Matt and his team made the process of buying a downtown Chicago condo incredibly efficient and easy. We were buying from out of town, and Matt's extensive knowledge of EVERY building in downtown was invaluable. He really knows the market inside and out, and was very honest and straightforward in his approach, which we really appreciated. We won't hesitate to refer him or use him again for future Chicago purchases!

Kristi Adachi

Matt runs an exceptional team of professionals. He contacted me personally when I was trying to find a new firm to assist me with my properties. My condo had been on the market over two and a half years without a single offer! After signing with Matt it sold in just over a month! Additionally, one of his brokers, Joseph was able to secure a renter for an apartment of mine as well! I highly recommend the Laricy Group to assist anyone to sell or rent their property!

Ian Horvath

Matt and his team were absolutely incredible. My wife and I just purchased our first home and were very nervous when we began the process due to our lack of experience with real estate. Matt put those fears to rest by always making himself and his team available to field our questions and hear our concerns. Their responsiveness, expertise, and demeanor were extremely appreciated and repeatedly calmed our nerves while we conducted our search, submitted an offer, attended the inspection, and proceeded to the closing. I cannot recommend this group strongly enough.

Lei Cui

Great experience from start to finish. Matt and team helped us sell a condo in the middle of the winter, right after the peak of the housing market. We were informed all key market data throughout the process. His team did a great job of updating us on everything, such as showings, open house, post-showing interest. No complaints whatsoever. Highly recommend!

Andy Grewal

I sold my condo with Matt in a tough market. I appreciated his professionalism from the outset (he appeared to our initial meeting in a suit and had a detailed PowerPoint to quickly walk through). His communication & interest was also exemplary. When we met, I was still a couple months away from listing my property, and he stayed in touch throughout. Once the listing was complete, Matt and his team were almost rabid about getting a qualified buyer. In a tough market, this meant many showings, lots of communication with buyers' agents, and so on. It was clear to me that Matt and his team were putting in 110% effort. When offers started to come in, Matt quickly advised me about which offers I should ignore and which I should take seriously. There was no attempt to get me to accept a bad offer -- in fact, he was blunt when he thought a particular buyer was trying to "lowball me." I was very happy to leave the transaction in Matt's hands and leave the details to his team. If you fit my profile, and above everything else want a Realtor who will find a good buyer & offer, I would strongly recommend the Laricy team.

Drew Stoimenoff

Matt and his team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire home buying experience. From the very beginning they were responsive, informative, transparent, and patient. Once we narrowed our search down to the property that we wanted, Matt was able to give us a spot on estimate of pricing and comparisons. He then backed it up with remarkable negotiation skills that got us into the perfect home. I couldn't recommend Matt and his team more.

Mo Neishapouri

Matt sold our condo in uptown. Prior to working with Matt we were working with other agent who happened not to have enough knowledge nor enthusiasm to sell our condo for a fair price. Matt is very knowledgeable realtor and his entire team is very professional. He listed our condo and we received offer the day after. If you are looking for a real agent or struggling with selling/buying you gotta work with him.

G Bajaj

Matt and his team were absolutely wonderful from start to finish for us first time home buyers in the city. They are really knowledgeable about all things Chicago and that helped us a lot since we didn’t know much about the neighborhoods or the buildings. The best part about them is their customer service- they handled everything efficiently, responded to any questions we had quickly, and kept us in the loop and on top of things every step of the way. We have a few friends that use them too and love them and we highly recommend LARICY for anyone looking looking for an amazing realtor in Chicago!

Kathleen Rowan

Matt and his team are the BEST, hands down. He lives and breathes the Chicago market and truly has a pulse on buying/selling trends and the "sweet-spot" of the true price of a property. Matt was straight forward and gave me great advice throughout the process of selling my condo in the Gold Coast. His photographer and video crew did an exceptional job of highlighting the features of my home - so much so that I fell in love with the place all over again. Do yourself a favor and sign on with Matt. He made what could have been a very stressful few months a breeze because I knew I could trust him. If you are looking for a team to really help you have a seamless process - give Matt a call!

Kathryn Khankari

Matt and his team were wonderful! Due to strong marketing and pricing decisions, we were under contract in less than week. We had quite a few inspection items, which his team took the lead on addressing, alleviating some of our stressors during a very hectic time. We would highly recommend Matt and his team!

David Doherty

I was a first time home buyer overwhelmed with the prospect of finding a home In a large expensive city. Matt started by meeting with me to explain the process and answer any questions I had. I appreciated that I never felt pressure from him to commit to anything I didn't want to before giving things more thought. Matt's team was patient as they helped me schedule showings week after week until I found the right fit for me. Matt and his team's knowledge and experience was extremely valuable during this time as I learned more about exactly what I was looking for and how to value those features in the listings I saw. Matt's communication and professional was top notch as he responds to emails quickly, and I was always able to get helpful answers to my questions same day. When it came time to negotiate I felt comfortable knowing matt was in my corner and would fight for what I wanted and what he thought was good for me. If you're looking to buy in Chicago, reach out to Matt and he can help.

Joshua Essary

Matt and his team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire home buying process. Always available to answer questions and were diligent in moving the closing process along. A purchase at a price point that I didn't think was possible was made possible by Matt. Much thanks and will definitely go back in the future along with recommending everyone I know!

Bill Johnson

Matt and the rest of his team were fantastic to work with as a first time buyer. They kept constant communication, negotiated effectively on my behalf, and really helped me feel comfortable in the entire process. I can't recommend them enough and will certainly use them again for my next transaction in Chicagoland.

Richard Franks

I've worked with Matt 4 times now, and couldn't be more happy with each transaction. He is extraordinarily responsive, aggressive, focused, knowledgable, and most importantly, he delivers. He also surrounds himself with rockstars, both the people who work for him and the people he regularly partners with (lawyer, inspector, property management company, etc.). Working with him feels like a one-stop masterclass in real estate! When I bought my first condo in Chicago, he helped me avoid making a couple of decisions that, as I got to know Chicago, I now realize how much I'd have regretted. Once we found the right part of town, Matt knew everything about every building we saw, not just the usual "here's what this unit is like", but "here's the history of this building and why I think it could be a good investment. When I marketed my property for rent twice, Matt, and his associate Mickey, were able to quickly find tenants that ended up being reliable and diligent. In both cases, Matt and Mickey were able to secure full asking price on rent, despite both being at rocky periods in the market. When I sold, the market in my neighborhood had nosedived. While we sat on the market for a month or two, he was aggressive in securing showings and eventually a buyer at almost full asking price (despite some pretty unattractive comps at the time), with a closing in less than a month. I could not more highly recommend Matt & team!

Sandra Lee

We worked with Matt over the past two years. He and his team were at all times professional, courteous, and truly cared about serving our needs. He continuously provided us with monthly reports, not only on how our real estate sale was progressing, but also key news on the Chicago area. We also received prompt notices whenever a potential buyer was scheduled to view our property and immediate follow up on the status. The pandemic created additional challenges for Matt and his team but he persevered. We would highly recommend Matt and his team, which not only included his company staff, but also recommendations for a real estate attorney who was likewise attentive to our property, and our concerns, walking us step by step through the sales process, right up through negotiations and close. Hats off to a job well done!

Rachel Kelly

As a first-time buyer everyone told me the process would be stressful, clearly these people have never worked with Matt and his team. I cannot fault anything from start to finish. Matt gave me detailed information of the process, set up viewings timely and was very responsive to all my emails and questions. Everything was very organized and transparent throughout the process. I would not hesitate to use Matt and Team again in the future.

Ronald Baczkowski

Matt Laricy was our realtor when we bought our condo in 2018 and when we sold it four years later. Without question, he has our highest recommendation, and we would use him again. Matt knows the Chicago real estate market well and imparts his knowledge to clients to make best decisions for themselves. He has a full team to assist in all aspects of buying and selling that is tech savvy and customer focused which made it exceptionally easy even though we live out of town. Matt is fully connected to the real estate community including supporting contractors which resulted in a fantastically staged and photographed marketing package, sound pricing recommendations, and quick resolution when unanticipated repairs were required just prior to closing. Exceptionally responsive, he often answered questions even before asked and offered sound advice throughout the buying and selling processes. His customized approach made us feel like we were his only customer, but his volume of sales gives him connections and access to other realtors resulting in more views and a quick offer. Matt Laricy and his team has our strongest recommendations. We give him an A++.

Eunice Oh

This was our first time buying a home and we're VERY grateful that we happened to choose Matt Laricy. Rachel was our agent and she was always punctual to the showings, very responsive, and knowledgable. Once out offer was accepted, the whole closing process was SO easy. Matt and his people were on top of everything and always answered our questions. I highly recommend using Matt and his people for anyone looking to buy a home.

OJ Lopez

Matt Laricy of the LARICY - Americorp Ltd. Is a fantastic realtor! who truly understands how to sell houses. He made the process incredibly easy and his extensive thorough knowledge, not only of general real estate, but of the local market made it a great pleasure throughout the whole process. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from accepting an offer. In addition he was always available to answer my questions and also offers great! Advice always. Matt Not only is the best! he was thorough and professional and great to work with on to of being extremely honest and upfront. Matt also provides a weekly interesting update of what is going on in the market in general by cities and also trends what to watch out for. Thank you so much for all of your help! I am so grateful for all of the hard work you and team have done to help me sell my home. I am endlessly grateful to have you as my agent and couldn't be happier with the way everything worked out. I never thought this day would come. It has been a pleasure to have you as my agent and would not hesitate in recommending you to others. You and your team level of customer service are exceptional.

Huanyi Zhen

I don't write reviews often but I feel the need to share my great experience with everyone. I was a first time home buyer who does not know anything in real estate. Matt and his team was honest, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. From showings to negotiations then closing, I was so well taken care of that I felt no stress at all. With their help, I bought my first home and will be recommending their services to everyone around me. You will be making a mistake if you don't choose them as your realtor.

Abhishek Arora

Let me start with saying Matt and team is the partner you need to have on your side for any real estate transaction in Chicago area. Full stop. Our situation We had moved out of state and the day we were going to list our home suffered damage from leaking HVAC pipe. From that day on Matt helped us navigate through insurance, contractors and set the right expectations. About Matt and team Matt, his team and partners (attorney, photographer, stagers) are all A+. Super responsive but yet deliberate for the long term for the right deal to come through Feel intimate yet are thorough professionals and know everything there is to know about real estate industry Patient enough to answer newbie questions….know the art and science of negotiation….getting people to your property…..and above all masters of human behavior when it comes to the world of real estate There is a reason Matt and team are rated that high and they truly deserve that. Thanks Matt and team

Ian Watts

Working w Matt was great. He was highly knowledgeable about the chicago market at both micro and macro levels. He had excellent data driven insight into market conditions during our search. I appreciated his willingness to both teach and guide throughout the process. He had outstanding insights and recommendations on our various neighborhood and property selections. When you're looking for a place it's easy as a buyer to get tunnel vision, and Matt always had a well-considered list of pros and cons for us to weigh so we went into offers as informed as possible. He also had a helpful network of patient, professional, and supportive partners to help through the process. E.g., Lenders, inspectors, lawyers. He followed up multiple times after the sale to see if we were doing ok, and had volunteered to be a potential resource for connecting us to reliable crews for rennovation. Very highly recommend him and his team. Great people.

Jonathan Eschedaurri

Matta and his team are professional and efficient. He was able to sell my property quickly after another realtor had it listed for 7 months. Most importantly, Matt and his team provide frequent (at least twice weekly) updates. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matt Laricy to anyone buying or selling property in Chicagoland.

Arvind Kamal

I was a first-time home buyer. To sum up my experience with Matt & his team, I'd say it was smooth, educational, logical and fun! I enjoyed working with Matt & his team as they were super approachable, understanding, professional & quick to assist! For the readers desiring more details, I have much to say. Being completely new to the world of real estate (RE), I poured through Zillow, Zenlist, Redfin & Realtor, and went on multiple condo tours. During one such routine-exercise of scrolling through Zillow, I came across a condo listed by Matt. While I did not purchase that particular property, I am glad that it got me in touch with Matt and his team. Matt was professional, considerate & insightful right from the beginning. Prior to my first viewing, he organised a video call with me to understand the kind of properties I was interested in; unlike any of the other RE agents, he also provided me an overview of both (i) the Chicagoland housing-market, and (ii) all the steps involved in completing a successful purchase. I remember binge-watching Matt's Youtube channel that night to learn more about Chicago RE & sound smarter the next time around. His videos (and podcasts) are fun & value-adding. During my home-search process, I worked with Catherine from Matt's team. Catherine was responsible for suggesting potential properties of interest and scheduling tours with the selling side. Friendly, punctual, informed & most importantly, candid, are the first few words that come to mind, when describing her. Catherine was quite accommodating when scheduling viewings, some even being requested the day of. For a first-time buyer, the process of home-hunting can be a bit overwhelming & having a friendly face to reach out to really helps. After having selected a condo, Catherine was instrumental in providing me with a comprehensive comparative market analysis & procuring a mutually-agreeable offer. Once finalised, I again jumped on a call with Matt, who reiterated the next steps (like mortgage-downpayment, attorney review, inspection negotiation and other nuances of the closing process) in detail. This is when Jamie came into the picture. She was responsible for requesting, scheduling & following up on each of the mentioned steps. Jamie did a fantastic job, thanks to her stellar organisational skills & industrious work-ethic. I also appreciated her jumping on several impromptu calls with me, especially towards the end of the purchase process. Overall, my advice to anyone looking to buy/sell their first (or nth) home would be to work with Matt & his amazing team. You will be in friendly & capable hands! I wish Matt and his team success & fulfillment as they earnestly work towards helping people find their dream homes.

Austin Yancey

Matt and his entire team are incredible. We could not have asked for better communication, timely responses, or professionalism throughout our deal. Our sale had some ups and downs and we felt supported the entire way. Thank you Matt, Jamie, and the entire Laricy Team! Highly recommended.

John Farrell

Top tier expertise, extensive market knowledge, honesty, and lightning fast responsiveness come to mind when dealing with Matt. He is best in class and I'm unable to think of even one area of improvement at any point during the buying process. The proactive nature is impressive and I'm lucky to have worked with him.

Gaurang Sardesai

Matt is fantastic. You definitely want him on your side during a real estate transaction. He's very straightforward, and as a seller, i'd rather have someone be honest about market conditions, the state of the property and what buyers are looking for, rather than someone who just agrees with you. He has a deep bench of contacts to help you get the house ready for sale, and his team's communication and updates are top notch. Our transaction had a couple hiccups along the way, and Matt was invaluable at sorting thru and figuring out a solution for the issues. Highly recommend!

Anthony Aron

Matt and team went above and beyond throughout the entire homebuying process. They made everything painless and easy to follow even for a first-time homebuyer. He was extremely responsive and knowledgeable. We cannot recommend Matt and his team enough!

Amy Saunders

Matt and his team were amazing from start to finish. Matt accommodated all of our requests, always responded promptly, and was knowledgeable and informative in responding to questions. He offered so much great advice on what to look for as a buyer and was extremely informed about the local market. His team had a level of organization like I've never seen. I would receive weekly and sometimes daily updates with important upcoming deadlines and was kept constantly in the loop at every stage of the buying process. Matt even recommended a great broker that we ultimately financed with. I could not recommend Matt and his team more highly.

Hyacinth Paul

Matt Laricy was introduced to us through the Northwestern University Internal Medicine Residency Program. Our daughter picked a different Realtor as she wanted to work with her friend who was working with this realtor. Our entire family was here for that one weekend and we also made an offer on an apartment to buy. However, the said realtor neither moved on our offer and told my daughter inappropriate things about her mother. This unprofessional behavior and her lack of understanding of the extreme brevity of our timeline to buy the apartment led me to drop her. At this moment, I reestablished my communication with Matt and explained the whole situation. Matt did not need to take me on as his client, but he understood our situation and brought us onboard, despite our daughter's initial choice. He introduced us to his staff via email and they couldn't be nicer and super efficient. Joe Novak showed us the houses that were picked by me and some that he thought we would like. I couldn't be happier with anyone as Joe was an amazing individual who took care of our needs in real estate with such diligence and patience. Once the offer was made (which happened within a couple days), the rest of the staff came in and dove right in. We closed in record time after the offer in New York and moved in the next day to our gorgeous apartment. I highly recommend Matt Laricy and his team. They are professional, no nonsense, caring and right on target. Couldn't have had a better experience! Matt and his team will be the ones I would choose if and when we upsize and would be delighted to recommend him to everybody!

Lani Chevlin

Matt is extremely knowledgeable about the market conditions and very responsive throughout the whole listing and selling process. I was in great hands throughout from beginning to end. His team is also top notch!

Ciara Braga-Henebry

We had heard amazing things about Matt from our friends and he did not disappoint! As first time home buyers, there was a lot that we didn’t know about the process. From day one, Matt and his team guided us efficiently, making sure that we had all of the information we needed. Matt’s knowledge of the market helped narrow what started as a wide search within 2-3 weeks. When we found our perfect home, Matt expertly handled all negations and was able to get our offer accepted over others. Matt and his team were quick to respond to our questions and kept us on track with a checklist from offer through close. We were never concerned about missing a step or deadline because they were on top of it. All documents were handled quickly and electronically up until closing. The team suggested an excellent lawyer, mortgage lender, and inspector, and we felt that each provided as exceptional service as Matt and and his team. We would heartily recommend Matt! He made the process easier than we ever imagined, and even recommended a local pizza place.

David Kreiger

This crew is on top of their game even during the heat of COVID! As a happy home seller Matt and Team nailed it, and within 7 days 4 showings my condo sold with two offers on the table. Amazing! Highly recommend.

Jessie Ho

Matt and his group were fantastic. We are first time home buyers and he certainly made a confusing process much easier. He is very knowledgable and clearly has been working in the Chicago market for a long time. His team is amazing at facilitating the showings and the closing process. One of the best things about him is the responsiveness. We were able to email him at any time and get an answer. We would definitely recommend him to anyone else looking to buy or sell a home. We will be going back when it's time to sell.

Matt & his team are very helpful, responsive & professional. They made the buying process seamless & were on hand to answer any questions I had at any time. I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying the the Chicago area.

Taylor Szpara

10/10 recommend Matt and his group when purchasing a home! They made the buying process stress-free and simple. I would highly recommend them to anyone purchasing a home in the Chicago area.

Alex Murdoch

As a first time home buyer, Matt was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He and his team were very organized and responded in a very timely manner. During all of my showings his team appeared more knowledgeable on the property, surrounding market, and each unit in comparison to the selling agents. His recommendations throughout the process were spot on and all made the home buying experience easy. Thank you Matt and team for your help!

Linzie Dobbs

Matt and his team are the absolute BEST and I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone I know who will be buying or selling in Chicago!! I was a first-time home buyer doing everything on my own and knew little to nothing about the home-buying process. Matt made the process so incredibly easy and laid everything out super clear every step of the way. He was so responsive at all times, which is super important in the fast-paced industry and definitely something you want from an agent. He's also a straight shooter and will tell you his honest opinion, which is great because he is the expert in the space and can mention things that may be overlooked by the average person not in the business. I will definitely be using them in the future!

Brianna Akerley

Matt and his team were awesome. We were doing a long distance sale and Matt got our condo listed/sold quickly. He’s a to the point guy and was honest about what our place was worth which set our expectations. He explained everything thoroughly and worked to get us more than we expected. The team also has great marketing resources. Matt and his team were professional, responsive, and efficient. They made selling our place a seamless process. I would 100% recommend using Matt for your real estate needs!

Judy

We recently completed our third real estate transaction with Matt Laricy and his talented team!! This was our first time as sellers. Matt and his whole team were once again amazing. They are so organized, straight forward, and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns! We believe this would be true no matter what the property price. They make you feel like you are their most important client! They walk you through every part of the process and make certain that you are comfortable and understand everything. They have been particularly accommodating during the pandemic and offered no-contact listing and closing for us, which we really appreciated. We received feedback via text immediately after each showing from the agent who represented us that day. They followed up all showings with a call to the potential buyer’s agent to get feedback and then relayed this feedback to us. We received daily updates from some of the online listing sites and a weekly summary from Matt himself with not only how our property was doing but how the market on the whole was doing, as well. Whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend The Matt Laricy Group. In our opinion, you won’t find anyone who knows Chicago real estate better than Matt!! Thanks, Matt and the entire Matt Laricy Team!!

Carsen Berger

Matt and his team did an amazing job helping my wife and me purchase our first home. From the get-go, we were impressed with Matt’s responsiveness in replying to emails — even at odd hours. Throughout every step of the process, from negotiating the price to working with other parties on the deal, Matt and his team were on top of things. We’ll definitely be going back to Matt for any future real estate needs in Chicago.

Laura Gangichiodo

Matt Laricy and his team are the best of the best in the world of Chicago realty! My husband and I have worked with them both as buyers and sellers and our experiences have been nothing short of 100% satisfaction. Overall, Matt is super focused, efficient, and professional. His team is an impressively-oiled machine, and they work around the clock to get the deal done. Every aspect of the Matt Laricy Group is detail-oriented and thoroughly thought out. They are excellent communicators, master strategists, and Matt's knowledge of the Chicago market is unparalleled. He exudes confidence and loyalty. We recommend working with the Matt Laricy Group without hesitation - we promise you won't be disappointed!

Mikin Patel

We have been working with Matt for years now and he has coordinated multiple residential purchases and sales for us. In short, he is excellent. His responsiveness is unmatched, he aggressively represents his client's interests, and he has assembled a polished team to make the whole experience of buying or selling a home seamless. No significant negatives that come to mind and we recommend him highly to all of our friends and family interested in Chicago real estate.

Cory Jbara

I cannot recommend Matt Laricy and his incredible team enough. He is one of the hardest working men I have ever met, and his dedication to his clients is unmatched. I could not have imagined a better home buying experience. For every question I had they always responded within a few hours (often within minutes) with an excellent and thorough answer. Every step of the house search/closing process, I felt like I was very well informed and in great hands. Even when I had no questions or comments, they made sure to check in twice a week to ensure that I was taken care of and everything was moving along smoothly. In addition, Matt's negotiation skills are unparalleled. His knowledge and relationships with the other agents in the industry along with his reputation give him tremendous leverage to get you into the right home at an incredible price. With Matt Laricy, you are in great hands. You will feel confident and comfortable from day 1 through closing. At the end of the day, you will know that you made the right purchase at a great price, and you will be satisfied throughout the entire home buying process.

Jennifer Zhao

We could not be happier with our experience of selling and buying a home with Matt Laricy and his team. They are extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market, and are an amazing resource of information. We were able to sell our home after only one day on the market - completely due to Matt and his team. When buying our new home, Matt was informative, attentive, and patient with us through our search. Matt and his team were on top of it all and so efficient with setting up showings, answering questions, etc. They helped us through the entire process in a seamless manner, and always made us feel like their top priority. We would highly recommend the Matt Laricy Group to anyone buying or selling a home!

sonia singh

This is my second time around working with Matt and his team, and I am so glad I returned. Matt helped me a close on a condo this October. Right from the time I expressed interested in buying earlier in the summer to signing on the dotted line, Matt was the most supportive, reliable and trusted partner. He was patient with me as I explored many neighborhoods, explained the details, pros/cons of every single condo we visited, obviously knows all the buildings very well and helped me navigate a multiple bid situation with the condo I finally landed on. His team was so on point during the closing process, I never had to think about much on my own. All in all, he made it so easy and painless, I am so grateful to him. I would recommend him any day!

Jeff Mo

This review is for new sellers/buyers who are on the fence with regards to choosing a real estate company. When we decided to sell our condo we interviewed several agents. They were all very similar. Positive, confident with great presentations. I had no idea who to choose but was more stressed after meeting them all because they seemed too polished. Then on a whim I went and met Matt. Very different. Pardon my language but there was no BS. He told me what he could do, how he and his team would do it and what I could expect. He taught me some things on that first visit which was impressive even before I signed with him. My stress was gone and I was very happy after choosing Matt. Long story short, we had a good offer on our condo two days after we listed. The average on market time for those condos was 4-6 months! I only write reviews for businesses I trust and I trust Matt and his team. So if you have not been impressed with any agents yet, definitely go meet them.

Emily Caplis

I am a first time homeowner and I began my search on Zillow with the intent to buy an apartment. I contacted Matt to assist me in getting a showing for an apartment and began working with him and his team to find the perfect apartment. He and his team were invaluable to me in finding the apartment that was right for me and I definitely wouldn’t have done it without them! Matt had knowledge regarding every building and area I wanted to go view and was very communicative with me. He always answered emails or phone calls promptly, which reassured me that he respected my time and took my search seriously. He and his team were so easy to work with and I really felt like they valued me as a client and went into every situation with my best interest in mind. Matt was very organized and concise, which made the process as easy as it could have possibly been for me. I had little to no knowledge of the purchase process, but I was kept up to date and informed every step of the way. Our primary method of contact was via email, but he made sure to discuss anything complicated or if I was confused about anything via phone call or meeting. Making sure I understood the process and what was going on at all times was a big help in getting me to the finish line of purchasing my new apartment! I am very grateful to have had Matt as my realtor during my first time home purchase and would absolutely recommend him!!

corrinne mills

Matt and his team (Mickey was our main realtor) made buying our first home easy and simple with a streamlined process. I felt like we always understood what our options were. Having a checklist of all the steps was great! They were always prompt to answer our questions with helpful, clear answers. We wound up with a slightly tricky negotiation at a couple of stages, and they guided and represented us well.

Kevin Kang

Matt and his team were amazing. Sharp and aggressive, which is necessary in this crazy market. He is quick to respond and work outside of regular hours to help you find a home. I had a smooth experience as they held my hand from start to finish. Did not run into any issues during the process. 10/10 would recommend.

John McCarthy

Matt and his team did an excellent job finding us a condo that fit all of our criteria. As first time homebuyers, we appreciated the time Matt took to explain to us the ins and out of the process and the market. It was great not feeling any pressure and being able to take our time with our search to find the right place. Matt would come in with honest and straight input which was really helpful. Matt and his team were also super responsive and accommodating. After finding the place, the contract/closing process went by seamlessly thanks to Matt's team and also the very good attorney/banker etc. Matt referred us to. Would definitely recommend!

Frank DiCarlo

This was my first foray into real estate investing and so I went into the process blindly. Matt was the perfect agent to help. He is knowledgeable, diligent, responsive, hands on, and has a team of people (who are equally great) who literally helped guide me through every step of the process. From connecting me with a great lender and property manager, to finding me a tenant, Matt and his team do it all and if they don't do something they know someone that does. The purchase was seamless and flawless. He has made me feel confident that I could do this again. He is the best agent I have ever worked with. If I decide to continue to invest in the Chicago market, I would never consider anyone else. I couldn't recommend anyone more.

Dominic Miller

Matt Laricy is the best. Everything was super smooth from start to finish. Closed on my awesome place in Chicago within 45 days of meeting him. He is easily, by far, the most knowledgeable and responsive person in the industry. From setting up the initial zoom call (within the hour) to questions after closing, he and his amazing team is right there with you and more importantly, for you. He has your best interests in mind and will help you find the home of your dreams!!

Richard Kovacs

Matt and his team are top notch and second to none. They have a proven system to get deals done in a swift and efficient manner. During probably one of the worst Downtown Chicago real estate markets since 2008, Matt brought multiple offers to the table and ultimately got us the best offer that closed just before the Holidays. I ran into my neighbor down the hall as we were emptying our condo and she congratulated me on our sale and said she wished she had gone with Matt as her unit most likely will sit on the market well into the New Year!

Adam Akbar

Matt was an excellent realtor! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was proactive in helping me identify the property I ultimately purchased. He was able to advise me on an offer price that was below the appraisal. I am looking forward to working with him in the future!

Irene Ayers

Matt and his team were absolutely fantastic for the entire processing. Matt was professional, straight shooter, authentic and very responsive. Matt knows about the market conditions in our area, but never pushed us to sell at a certain price. He was able to sell without listing in the MLS and negotiate the closing date since we were moving out of the state. Jamie also was total awesome throughout the process. I highly recommend Matt and his team.

Roocha Patel

Matt was great to work with! He and his team are very organized and responsive. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about real estate in general and the Chicago market specifically. His expertise helped me narrow down my search and find a great place within my budget. His team was very helpful throughout the closing process and helped me make sure we were always on track for the closing date.

Bruce Neimeyer

During the pandemic we were not having a positive time selling our condo in the E. Lakeview area. After a year, we decided a new approach with a team that could get our place in front of the greatest audience quickly. After combing through many real estate people and looking for someone that really understood the current market, we were most impressed by Matt and his group. We watched his YouTube videos and listened to his thoughts as well as interviewed him to get his insight about our specific property. Feeling most comfortable with his perspective and teams capabilities, we signed up with Matt. We listed on a Friday, had 7 showings in 2 days and an offer by Monday morning. We could not have been happier. Even though we had a short but welcomed engagement with Matt, he and his team were in constant contact about the progress of the sale throughout. I highly recommend his group as your real estate agent especially during turbulent times.

Andrei

My fiancée and I chose Matt's team for our Condo search due to their great reviews online. Now that we're on the other side of the buying process I can certainly see WHY Matt has such good feedback! From being quick to respond to emails to having no issues with the seemingly endless questions I kept sending his way, we truly felt supported and heard throughout the entire process. Great customer service service aside, Matt knows the market extremely well and did a great job steering us in the right direction. I'm confident we wouldn't have had nearly as smooth of a buying process without his expertise and advice. When the time comes to buy our next place in Chicago I know who we'll be coming back to!

Zoey Lopez McKinstery

Matt and his team truly made the buy/sell process as easy as it could be - thorough, detailed, and provided timely updates. Everything was organized and gave me peace of mind in a stressful time. We are so happy we chose the Matt Laricy team to help us and would plan to work with them in the future.

Rachel Neithercut

The best home-buying experience! Matt and his team have an extensive network that make the entire process as streamlined as possible, with weekly check-ins that make sure everyone is getting what they need, and that the timeline is on track! the market analysis he provides is so helpful when deciding on an offer, and he gives honest, straightforward advice that comes from his deep knowledge of the market.

Sungju Park

Matt and his team helped me for my condo purchasing at Chicago while at Texas! His team made every step very smooth, easy, and fast. He was very reliable and if I get any second opportunity to sell or buy property, I would definitely go with him. His information, and work helped me a lot choosing, negotiating and closing the purchase.

Shil B

With the pandemic lock-down in full-swing, we knew it would be challenging selling our condo located right outside the loop. We went with Matt's team because of the great reviews we saw online, and we firsthand experienced why everyone had nothing but positive things to say. Not only was his communication phenomenal (almost immediate email responses, clear and concise text updates), but the information and advice Matt provided along the way was extremely helpful. We could really tell that Matt has a deep understanding of the markets he brokers, and he uses that understanding to fight tooth and nail to get the best deal possible for his clients. Not only that, but the contacts Matt has to service the various parts of a deal (attorneys, contractors, inspectors) all performed high quality work with minimal intervention required from myself, for very competitive prices no less! I can't recommend Matt enough, and am still impressed how fluidly he helped us navigate a normally stressful process through an abnormally stressful time. Huge thanks to Matt, Jamie, and the rest of his team for all their help and hard work!

Terri Stat

Matt Laricy is the best. He helped us sell our heart-of-the-city condo in a terrible market after a previous deal with another broker fell through at the last minute. During this very long, stressful process, he kept us informed about trends in the market and the reality of the situation. Although sometimes it was hard to hear, we knew we were getting the truth. And despite our millions of questions, he remained calm, personable, and readily available to talk to us on a moment's notice. Once our property was under contract, Matt's incredible team took over and moved us toward closing seamlessly. Every recommendation he offered throughout the process -- from staging company to attorney -- was top notch. There were no snafus. They had expertise and confidence and we knew we were in good hands. Jamie Price is fantastic at keeping things on track and communicating with the client. Matt got the job done...perfectly.

Lavanya Srinivasan

It’s been an amazing experience working with Matt Laricy and his entire team. They made the whole process of buying a home a breeze. Each and every team member had and exceedingly amazing efficiency, professionalism, perseverance and top notch customer service! Highly Recommend Matt and his entire team!

Shawon Joseph

Matt, Jamie, Mickey, and the rest of his team were phenomenal. They made my first home buying experience stress-free and straightforward. I ended up with my dream home at a great price with no hiccups along the way. I was blown away by Matt's response times, he responded to emails instantly almost any time of the day. He did a great job negotiating and getting a price I was happy with. Jamie was incredible keeping things on track and fighting for anything I asked for during closing. Mickey was another great agent that was super helpful familiarizing myself with my new building during closing process. Overall Matt and his team were wonderful. I ended up going with all his recommendations with Attorneys, inspectors, and lenders which made closing seamless.

Ashish T

We have been working w/ Matt and his team for a about 5+ years, best in the business; From Matt to Jamie, the team exceeds expectations on all fronts! LARICY Group knows the market, very organized and ensures you get white glove service START to FINISH. You would think that once your place is sold, the team would disappear, NOPE. Matt and his team are different from other real estate agencies, quick respond to questions, super organized throughout the process made us feel comfortable that everything would get taken care (esp since we do not live in Chicago), communicating with us throughout the selling process. LARICY Group should be the Blueprint for what a real estate partner should be, they put the rest to shame...

William Liem

Matt and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. As first time buyers who were purchasing out of state, Matt and team worked above and beyond to answer any questions we had, provide a clear, understandable structure of navigating an easily complicated process, and basically provided high quality customer service experience. Matt and his team were obviously very knowledgable about the Chicago housing market and helped us navigate a foreign terrain, especially since both my partner and I are new to the city. Matt and team made several accommodations to allow us to view virtually and in-person (following COVID safety protocols). Lastly, his connections and recommendations for legal, loan, and other types of assistance all also provided high quality services. I have no reservations about working with Matt and his team and would definitely work with them again in the future. I highly recommend this team for an immaculate home buying experience!

Edward Szczepanski

The world works because of people like Matt Laricy. Matt was incredibly responsive and helped me navigate the homebuying process as a first-time buyer. What I find most valuable about working with Matt is his in-depth knowledge of a large percentage of Chicago real estate and his direct, to-the-point communication style that makes the search for the right property as frictionless and efficient as can be. The rest of his team, such as Mickey Hobson, was incredibly professional and great to work with. I feel very comfortable recommending Matt Laricy to my friends & coworkers when they are considering buying a place in the City.

Cassandra Khoury

Matt Laricy and his team far surpassed our expectations. He responded immediately to my initial inquiry (even coming to see our place on NEW YEAR'S EVE!) His team is super professional, communicative, and organized. Our place sold quickly and at asking price, and the sale was unbelievably seamless, which was especially helpful as we had just had our first baby! Would not hesitate to recommend them and will absolutely use them in the future. Thank you so much to Matt, Jamie, Mickey and team!

Megan Rick

As a first time home buyer, the process can be very intimidating and stressful, however, working with Matt made the process exciting and efficient. From our first zoom meeting, he helped me to develop a great plan for my home search and gave me confidence that his market expertise would help me fulfill my goal of becoming a homeowner. After which, I began receiving weekly market updates and check-ins via email and text prior to when I started my formal search. Once I was ready to hit the ground running, his team continued to impress me with their organization. Matt was always extremely fast to answer any question I had via call, text, or email. His executive assistant, Jamie, always kept everyone in the loop with google calendar invites for showings, email updates, and a google drive document keeping track of all important steps. Additionally, they set up a dropbox specifically to keep all of the MLS listings for units seen, which I found to be extremely helpful. Mickey, a broker within his company, accompanied me to all of my showings, providing an unbiased sounding board, while contributing his real estate expertise. When it came time to make an offer, Matt walked my through all of the steps and fought hard to get me the best deal possible. His negotiating skills were excellent, and he was able to provide me with an end price I was comfortable with. From there, he made sure everything was accounted for in order to reach and have a successful closing. From the big things like the inspection and financing options, to reminding me to make sure the electric was in my name once I moved, he thought of everything to be done. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone! He and his team were truly fantastic and I have them to thank for helping me get my first home! Thank you!

Kiki Labros

Matt Laricy and team are simply outstanding! From start to finish, they are a force to be reckoned with. I called Matt and he was at our condo that same evening to talk about selling in an already difficult downtown market. He was very knowledgeable, personable and had the tenacity that sets him apart. Communication was amazing. He responded to texts and calls almost immediately. The marketing was spectacular: drone video, amazing photos, social media, app for showings- you name it; he's got it! Matt sold our condo for the highest possible price when others had said it couldn't be done. His assistant Jamie was amazing. She was available 24/7 and streamlined the process and email communication between all parties. I highly recommend Matt Laricy and team, I couldn't be happier with the selling experience! Thank you!

Robby P

Matt and his group were phenomenal with this purchase of my first home. Matt provided me with all the tools necessary to find the home I was looking for and then had the ability to get me in the door faster than I had ever anticipated possible. Once we had found the right place the wheels of the Laricy group just started spinning. I believe from first look to closing was 2 months. It was a whirlwind from start to finish but they really helped me keep my head on my shoulders doting every T and crossing every I along the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone who asked. Impeccable work ethic and character from everyone I had the pleasure to work on the team.

Jonathan Medow

Matt is extremely knowledgeable regarding market trends and conditions, and he is very responsive. All calls, texts and emails received immediate responses. He cuts to the chase, and tells you what you need to know concisely and directly.

Teresa Zagar

Matt Laricy and his team are extremely professional and have a remarkable expertise in real estate. Matt was phenomenal to work with. When we started, Matt provided great advice on the real estate market to help us refine our search. When we would make our showing selections, he knew a significant amount of information about the properties and was able provide insight on those locations to weed out the not so great properties. When we did find "the one", Matt provided good insight on market comps and help us negotiate the quote in a quick and seamless manner. Finally, Matt and his team were awesome support through the inspection, appraisal and final negotiations. Overall, Matt made buying a home easy.

Katharine Uhrich

Matt and his team are simply the best. We knew we’d need their expertise, responsiveness, and negotiation skills when navigating the 2021 real estate market. We worked closest with Jamie and Jaime, but every team member we encountered was an absolute professional, super responsive, and kind. When you’re making some of the biggest and most stressful decisions of your life, these are the people you want in your corner. Plus, their use of technology makes this process about as painless and quick as it can be.

James Piersma

Matt helped my wife and I buy our first home and he made the entire process as easy as possible. Matt is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago market (and seemingly just about every specific building in River North). And I don't think I ever encountered anyone who works as hard as him and his team. At every step he and his team went above and beyond leading to a smooth and easy closing on our new home.

Sarah DAmico

Matt & his team were the only people we trusted with our first-time home buying experience. Matt is knowledgeable, straight-forward and had our best interest in mind through the whole process. If we called him with a question, he called back after already finding an answer or solution. We won a multiple bit situation and got our dream condo thanks to his guidance and persistence. Once our offer was accepted, Jamie and the rest of Matt's amazing team stepped in and took care of everything. This is an intimidating process for first-time home buyers and they took us step-by-step through everything. Matt & Jamie were always available to answer our questions and it couldn't have gone more smoothly!

Lindsey & Jeff Pechan

Matt was absolutely fantastic!!! His whole team was great. This was our first home purchase and the team not only facilitated a seamless transaction, but they enhanced the experience and allowed it to be enjoyable throughout! Matt had unrivaled knowledge of the Chicago market and we knew we could trust him instantly based on his completely candid approach. We could not have asked for better representation and truly feel blessed to have had the assistance of the Laricy team. We will definitely be using Matt again!!

Naomi Shewalter

Matt was the best to work with! From the first meeting, he gave me tons of confidence about his knowledge of the market, his experience, and his responsiveness. Over the next 16 months (we took a long time to buy...), he reconfirmed over and over again that everything he said in that first meeting was true. From super prompt responses to emails/texts/calls, to phenomenal, candid feedback on the dozens of places we toured, Matt made our first home buying process as seamless as possible! His entire team is super organized, communicative, and reliable. We never had to ask for confirmations on dates, times, or locations for meetings, showings, etc. He always made sure we knew what to expect ahead of time, and we never felt like we were rushed through the process.

Pooja Parikh

Matt was recommended to us by some friends and having him represent us in the search for our first house was one of the best decisions in retrospect. He is very responsive, patient, extremely hard-working and honest with his opinion which went a long way especially when we had no experience buying a property before. He runs a very cohesive, closely knit team and we had a great experience interacting with each one of them during different times of our search. The process between putting an offer to closing was seamlessly handled by Matt's team and his recommendations for lawyers and lenders were top-notch. We have no doubt that Matt will continue to be one of the most successful brokers in the Chicago area and recommend him to everyone.

Nisarg Shah

Matt and the entire Laricy team were spectacular throughout the whole process. We were first time home buyers and his whole team were extremely helpful in making the entire process easy and helped explain every detail without making us feel uninformed or intimidated. Matt was extremely professional, direct, and fought for us along the way for every small detail. His response time was unmatched and was available basically 24/7 for our needs. His team was organized and made sure we knew where we were through every step of the process. I would highly recommend Matt and the Laricy team for all real estate purchases/sales in the future.

Svenja Johnson

Matt helped me buy my first place 4 years ago and to sell it this year. He and his team are cutting-edge (technology & marketing), reliable, and streamlined. This made the buying and selling process as easy as it could be. I would highly recommend him!

Richa Stoer

Matt Laricy has been working with my husband and I for 5 years on purchasing both of our homes in Chicago. After our first conversation in 2013, we knew we had hit the realtor jackpot from his professionalism and tenacity. Our first home-buying experience in Chicago was made so much easier with his help. When we were ready to buy our next home a few months ago, we immediately texted him and he got to work right away, getting us an amazing purchase price for our house and successfully selling our condo for over asking price in two days! It was nothing short of incredible. We're still in disbelief! Matt has very high standards for himself and his team, and it definitely shows. We appreciate how quickly they got back to us on our questions (and we had a lot), how detail-oriented they were on all matters, and how we always felt like we were their highest priority. Matt is open, honest, and straightforward, and we trust any real estate advice he provides implicitly. We feel so lucky to have worked with the best of the best. We recommend Matt and his team to everyone we know!

Linda Kelahan

Matt was amazing. As two busy physicians looking for our first home, he made the whole process very enjoyable and completely painless. His whole team is professional and really just on top of everything. Matt is clearly an expert in his field, extremely knowledgeable and puts a lot of work into staying informed and informing others on his podcast. We’ve already begun recommending Matt to friends looking to buy a house. He’s great and his team, especially Jaime Price, were truly a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend!

Tanya Carlson

The Laricy Group was amazing from the initial conversation to the finishing touches of our sale. Matt provided realistic expectations about selling our condo given market conditions (then over-delivered!) and gave sound advice prior to listing. The team provided excellent detail about the process, communicated extremely well during listing/sale/closing, and we felt supported at each step along the way. Highly recommend!

Steven Barrett

Matt and his team are wonderful. His strategy for selling was perfect and we got a high quality buyer and an offer over list. Every step of the process went smoothly. This is our fourth time working with Matt (two purchases and two sales) and I strongly recommend working with Matt with your sale or your buy. Matt knows the business and the Chicago market - if there's a house you want, he knows what it will take to get it. If you're selling, he knows what price you can get. Unlike other realtors, Matt is very realistic and direct. And he knows how to deliver.

Andrew Hamilton

Matt was very easy work with and extremely responsive. He had a great sense of urgency and built confidence with us that he would help us find what we want. His attention to detail while touring homes was top notch and picked up on the smallest of details. He was very candid with us which made us feel at ease knowing he had our best intentions in mind. His knowledge of the Chicago market is unparalleled which makes you confident you will get the best deal possible. When you hire Matt you don’t only get him, you get his whole team which help guide you through the process and exemplify the meaning of customer service.

donald kania

Matt and the entire Laricy team (Special Thanks to Jamie Price!) were spectacular throughout the whole process. We were moving out of state for work and needed to sell asap, and his whole team were extremely helpful in making the entire process quick and easy. Having moved out of state before the listing went live, they explained the process down to the last detail and listened to our needs without making us feel pushy, uninformed or intimidated. We got an offer on our condo in less than 2 weeks and closed in a month. Matt and Jamie were extremely professional, direct, and guided us along the way for a fair and honest price for us and the buyer. Their response time was unmatched and were available basically 24/7 for our needs. His team suggested an excellent lawyer, which we used and communication between the two and us was well organized and they all made sure we knew where we were through every step of the process. I would highly recommend Matt, Jamie and the entire Laricy team for all real estate purchases/sales in the future. Final rating=10 out of 10!

Kate Hughes

Matt is hands down amazing at what he does. This is my second home purchase (my husband’s first) with him and during both purchases I was in a multi offer situation, but Matt got them done! In our most recent purchase, in this crazy market, there were 5 other aggressive offers on the house. Matt laid out a strategy and talked us through what he thought the house was worth, the upside and the downside to various offers and guided us on what we needed to do to potentially get our offer accepted. And it worked! Matt is great to work with. He responds to texts, emails and calls within minutes no matter the time or day. I also appreciate how he doesn’t have a “salesperson” type of personality. He gives his honest opinion, even if it’s not what you want to hear. His confidence in what he does made the process of buying our biggest asset much easier. I also want to make sure I acknowledge his amazing team. Catherine and Mickey helped us along the way and Jamie is with you 24/7. The entire group is a dream team. You won’t regret using them. They will put you first and won’t stop until they get you what you want.

Ashley Porter

As someone attempting to be a first time home owner, I was very new to the entire process. Matt and his team worked with me for about 9/10 months before I found "the one". During that entire process Matt was informative, honest, and patient. Once I found the right home, Matt and his team worked with me to ensure I had everything I needed every step of the way. I trusted Matt and his team, and they did an amazing job. Not only are they extremely informed, but they made the customer experience painless for me. Highly recommend!

Lucy Sharp

Matt found us the perfect condo in the perfect location! Made everything SO easy! Cannot even describe how great he was! Highly recommend!!!!

Hemal Desai

Matt Laricy was great to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable about not only the geographic areas we were interested in, but also with details regarding specific buildings and even builders/developers. If we were interested in a home, he was honest about his opinion of the place, and a few times prevented us from considering homes that would have been a bad investment. When we had questions, we would email him and he would respond very quickly, even if it was early in the morning or late in the evening. The buyers of the home were a little difficult to work with, but Matt helped us out and led the way as we negotiated the purchase price and after the inspection. Once the purchase was agreed to, their team was extremely efficient and knowledgeable about the closing process. They kept us updated during each step of the process and provided detailed and constant reminders when certain action items were due. I highly recommend Matt and his team for anyone looking to purchase a home in Chicago. You will not be disappointed.

Bradley Clarke

Matt was our real estate agent and assisted us in purchasing a home. We had a great experience with him as our agent as well as with his supportive team through every step of the process. He is a strong advocate for his clients, a fast responder that is always available and an endless source of guidance on the real estate acquisition process. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Chicagoland area.

Lauren Salata

Matt and his team are the best in Chicago. I just purchased my first condo and they made the entire process as easy and seamless as they possibly could. The entire team is so quick to respond and happy to help with any questions you may have. Matt in particular is SUPER knowledgable and amazing when it comes to negotiating. I got into a multiple bid situation and he offered the perfect advice to help me win out of seven offers on my condo. I will absolutely use Matt for any of my future real estate needs and I cannot recommend him and his team enough.

D C

Matt and his team helped me purchase my condo. I was so impressed with his teams social presence, integrity and professionalism. It was an obvious choice to have them help me sell when I moved. Matt and his team helped me through what could have been a difficult sale, living remotely and needing to have some cosmetic work done to sell my condo. I can’t say enough about how positive the experience of being a client of Matt’s was for me. Matt and his team use a variety of social media presence, network connections and determination to make quick results. Matt helped us find partners to stage and clean the condo as well. Helping us secure a quick close!

Kari Onweller

Matt and his team are truly top notch! I reached out to him a few years ago and had been on and off looking until about six weeks ago when I found a place I was ready to put in an offer on. Matt and Jamie were both extremely responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process, making my first time home purchase basically stress-free. Matt also recommended a lender that was able to provide a great financing option, and his recommended attorney (Lisa Saul) was fantastic. It is no surprise that Matt and his team have the number of 5-star reviews that they do. if you are looking to buy or sell in Chicago, you should definitely reach out to Matt!

Breanne Murchie

Choosing Matt Laricy as our real estate agent was the 100% right decision for my husband and I as first-time home buyers. He was very personable and friendly, and could easily explain the home buying process to us in a way that made sense to us. His entire team was very well organized and helped to keep us on track during the showings and the closing process. Matt would always respond when we had questions, and made himself available to us when we needed him for guidance. The stress of buying a home for the first time is overwhelming, but using a real estate agent you trust makes the process so much smoother. I would 100% recommend using Matt Laricy to anyone looking to buy a home.

Katie Stohs

Working with Matt made our first home purchase a breeze. We gave him a budget range at our initial meeting, and he said he didn’t care how much we spent and his priority would be ensuring we made a smart investment within our means. He treated us like we were a million dollar client, even though we spent much less. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and Matt was consistently quick to respond with knowledgeable answers. Trust him instinctively because he knows the market and the players, and he has good intentions with wanting to do the best for his clients. We will definitely work with Matt in the future and highly recommend him and his team. Also, Jamie deserves kudos too because she was just as professional and pleasant to work with as well. I can’t reiterate enough how easy they made this purchase for us!

Rani Patel

Matt and his entire team is truly fantastic. They are professional, hardworking, and very responsive. We worked with Matt when we bought our place in 2012 and six years later, he also helped us sell it. Matt does a great job going through the process and expectations especially for first time buyers and sellers. We even had some challenges working with our buyer's team but Matt and his group handled everything and got our place sold. Jamie is fantastic to work with; she handled all our scheduling and contract management. We truly appreciate all their hard work and have recommended Matt to everyone we know. He is hands-down the best agent in Chicago.

Nidhi Narielwala

Matt and his team, especially John Paul, were amazing to work with when I bought my condo, and were incredibly responsive when issues inevitably arose. They clearly know the market, and were able to provide valuable insight when it came to comparing and contrasting different homes. They assisted me throughout the entire process, from seeing homes, to making an offer, until the closing date. They even continued to answer and assist with issues after closing, which was incredible. To anyone looking or even thinking of buying a home in Chicago, I highly recommend reaching out to Matt and his team.

Laura Gangichiodo

Matt Laricy knows his stuff! He has a fantastic team working with him, and they made every step of the home buying process a breeze. Everyone on Matt's team is excellent at communication, especially his wonderful assistant Jamie, and they utilize technology tools to be as efficient as possible. As a first time home buyer, I appreciated Matt's patience, responsiveness, and honest opinions. To top it off, he knows good people who can help with every other piece of the puzzle (ie mortgage lenders, inspectors, lawyers, movers, etc). He was truly committed to helping us find our perfect home, and I felt like he had my back from start to finish. I recommend the Matt Laricy Group to potential home buyers, without hesitation!

Harsh Devpura

If you are a first-time home buyer, the whole process will overwhelm you. We were in the same boat. Matt helped us guide through the process and answered all our questions each time we meet him. He was patient and did not pressure us in closing any house. He accommodated our needs, and showed us places securely during the spring COVID months. Matt has a good small team and all of them work hard. All the contacts he helped us with in the closing process delivered 100% and on time. Matt gives you straight forward answers with no sugar coating. In beginning, this may alarm you, but if you are making a big investment for your home, you want someone like him to not agree with everything you say. Our best wishes to Matt and his company.

Abe Wehbi

Simply put, Matt and his team are the best. The reviews and all of the great things are all true. Matt helped us with the sale of our condo, and throughout the entire process, we felt well-taken care of. Matt and his team are always on the ball and communicative at every point, offering amazing guidance and insight. I truly felt that I was in the best hands possible working with Matt, and will continue to refer anyone who asks his way.

Christina Kjolhede

As a first time home buyer Matt was wonderful to work with. From the first meeting I appreciated how he walked through the entire process and made sure I fully understood what to expect. He is extremely knowledgeable. I trusted and valued his opinions while looking at properties, discussing offer options and follow ups once the inspection was completed. Matt is responsive, along with everyone else on his team. I can't imagine going through the process with anyone else and would highly recommend.

Brad Winters

Matt and his team went above and beyond our expectations. They were very responsive to any questions we had throughout the process and made sure we knew the next steps that needed to be done. Matt's knowledge of the local market is the #1 reason we sold our condo in 4 days. I can't say enough about how great Matt and his team are and how stress free they made the selling process.

Chris DeGrande

We are first time home buyers who were recommended to Matt and couldn't give a higher recommendation for others looking for a realtor. We were motivated to purchase, and Matt and his team got us under contract for our home within a week of our first meeting. From the very start, Matt and his team were extremely responsive and helpful and provided great detail and insight about the process. There was always someone available to answer our questions and to help us out with whatever popped up, and it truly was an incredible level of responsiveness from Matt and his team. They were available to answer anything from big picture questions to small random questions we had pop up, of which there were many since this was our first home purchase. After we have closed, we still say that we are amazed how easy the entire process was from start to finish, and that is definitely due to Matt and his team. Again, couldn't give a higher recommendation.

Dan Nickels

I bought my first condo with Matt and sold a number of years later with MLG & the quality between both experiences remained at an exceptional level. Matt is a rare find. Matt & team are knowledgeable, professional, in control, patient... I could go on... What impresses me with Matt / team most is the passion and pride they bring to their work and the impact they have on the clients they work with. Exceptional experience from start to finish - they do anything and everything to get the deal closed! Will work with them without hesitation in the future. Thanks Matt & Team!

Amie Vaughn

Matt and his team are absolutely phenomenal! The Matt Laricy Group is extremely responsive, efficient, and knowledgeable. They provide excellent recommendations, guidance, and support. We received the same unparalleled experience with every person who Matt recommended and every person at the MLG. We greatly appreciated Matt's open and honest style, tailored recommendations, and wealth of knowledge about Chicago real estate. We are so grateful for Matt and his team. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with the Matt Laricy Group. Our jobs will likely cause us to relocate again, and we wish we could work with Matt in every market our careers take us.

Jidong Jiang

Thank you Matt, Jamie, Lisa and other team members helping us to sell our condo in Chicago. Our condo was closed today. We knew Matt from internet. We choose him as our selling agent is not because he is top selling real estate agent in Chicago, because he is very open and honest. During our first conversation, he explained to us very clearly about market trend, entire process and guided us step by step. Matt and his team worked tirelessly showing our condo, following up and providing updates. Whenever we called them or sent message to them, they were always there. Matt and his team are very professional and have all the resources to make process very smooth. Matt and his team are the best in Chicago!!!

Roy Soria

I found my realtor for LIFE! Matt Laricy is professional, personable, efficient, honest, determined and has a vast knowledge of all aspects of real estate. He is passionate about his career and it truly shows in his work ethic. He and his team made buying my first home such a pleasure and breeze. I was amazed at how easy it was to set up home viewings through an electronic calendar to using Google docs to stay organized. Matt answers emails at any hour of the day, I don’t think he ever sleeps, and he makes sure you are never left feeling neglected or uninformed. Matt was there every step of the way; before the sale, during the sale, and even after the sale (recommending handymen and licensed professionals to fix a few minor repairs). Matt is an excellent negotiator and he helped me get the best deal on my property. I would HIGLY recommend Matt Laricy if you are looking for a realtor that you can trust and who will not disappoint.

Christie Sunderrajan

We found Matt Laricy and his team through social media and reviews from his other clients. We met with Matt and discussed our specific desires in our purchase. He provided information on different areas and made some suggestions. We have experience in purchasing homes, but never before a condo in a large city. The specifics of a condo purchase are a little different from a stand alone house in suburban neighborhoods. Matt and his team were able to understand our needs, help narrow down options to fit those needs, and supported the process to an efficient closing. They know the Chicago real estate landscape. We have been pleased with our experience and we definitely recommend Matt and his team.

R W

Matt is an absolute pleasure to work with! He was extremely responsive and very knowledgeable about the Chicago neighborhoods and market. Matt did a great job helping us in our search and provided excellent recommendations along the way. He always shared his honest thoughts and provided great insight on whether or not a unit matched our needs/preferences – which made the decision process really easy. His team was very accommodating and worked to set up appointments that best fit our schedule. Matt did a fabulous job negotiating – and made the sale process painless and even enjoyable! We would hands down recommend Matt to any of our friends and family. Thanks for all of your help, Matt! We are so excited to move into our new home.

Raymond Kwong

As a repeat customer, Matt was awesome to work with. Matt is very professional, very knowledgeable, very responsive and know the Chicago area very well. He provided me honest and excellent suggestions, and was very forceful during negotiation. My purchasing experience has been very smooth, painless and stress-free. Matt and his team will continue to check with all parties to make sure everything is done before closing, making sure no issues will arise during closing. I highly recommend working with Matt for your real estate needs.

Dan Miller

Matt and his team were absolutely amazing on our sell and buy. We had very (and I mean very) difficult individuals on both our sell and buy and Matt and his team handled it with class and professionalism. We loved their communication, attention to detail and attentiveness. They were always there when we had a question, comment, or suggestion. It was a pleasure working with this team and we will be highly recommending them to anyone who needs an agent.

Shashank Rangaraju

We are truly happy and thankful to Matt Laricy and his team for their services. Matt made our first time home buying process super easy and organized. We knew nothing about neighborhoods when we first started our search. Matt, explained us about all the neighborhoods considering our search criteria and is able to describe the local neighborhood on every block. He provided us with abundance of education material on home purchase. He is open to listening, super patient, has a wide knowledge about the market, extremely professional and passionate about his work and responds to texts, email and calls at anytime of the day!! Thanks to Jamie. she was constantly in touch with us. she was always available for us even after moving to our new home. she stayed on top of things and helped us with our questions with Sellers. We are happy first time home buyers and glad to work with Matt Laricy and Team!!

Brian Bagel

Matt and his team were great to work with throughout the process. My wife and I were first time homebuyers and from the get go, Matt was willing to walk us through the process so there were no mysteries. He was happy to meet with us early on to talk about what we liked and didn't - even when we were several months out from actually buying. He was honest and knowledgable in his assessments of properties and neighborhoods. And it was an easy decision to work with him. When we were ready to buy, Matt and his team were super helpful. Matt worked with us to tour places, provide feedback, and ultimately crafted our winning offer. It was a competitive bidding process, but Matt was excellent at helping us determine what amount would be strong but not excessive. Ultimately we won out. And through the closing process, Matt's recommendations were great. Jamie in their office was always incredibly helpful. They're super organized and stay on top of things so there's never any questions. I can't recommend highly enough.

Jelani Burke

Matt and his team have been the best realtor I've worked with. When I had issues selling my place with my previous realtor, Matt gave me the honest feedback and instruction I needed to get the job done, and he did! His knowledge and expertise to his craft are seriously unmatched. I would 100% work with Matt again, and recommend him without question! There are not enough kind words I could say.

Denise Archibald

My husband and I contacted Matt after he was recommended by a friend. During our initial meeting, Matt quickly demonstrated his knowledge, expertise, and passion for real estate. Although we had a few initial meetings with other realtors, Matt was the only realtor that we walked away from feeling confident in his abilities to guide us through the home buying process. Matt was extremely responsive, honest, and ensured our first-time home buying process was seamless! He takes incredible pride in his work and providing his customers with the best service possible. Even though we just purchased our first home, my husband and I have already agreed that we'll be using Matt's firm again when the time comes to invest in future properties or sell our current home! Going with The Matt Laricy Group was the best choice we could've made throughout the home-buying process!

Sal Sorice

Matt and his team were some of the best that I have ever worked with. Matt will continue to be my agent for all future purchases and sales of real estate in the Chicago area. Any question or comment I had about a property Matt and his team were always extremely responsive, and helped to answer questions no matter how simple or complex. Matt was always willing to share his personal and professional opinion when I asked about a property, and was able to help me understand the impact of certain features of a property on things like resale value, ability to improve the property, etc. When it came time to make an offer, Matt was excellent at negotiating to help me save a significant amount on the final purchase price.

Eric Toepfer

My partner and I recently purchased a condo through Matt. We had been passively looking at places for over a year before we started working with Matt. Multiple agents had showed us places we had seen online, but after each showing we left feeling like we knew more about the unit and surrounding area than the agent. This was frustrating as we were looking for someone who really knew Chicago, each building, and any information we couldn’t find ourselves online. From the very beginning, Matt was that agent. When Matt showed us a place, he knew the history and details about the building only an insider could know. He knew where to look for shortcuts in construction and other building details we would have easily overlooked. He understood the area better than anyone, and talked to us about the history of the area, the current market, and where he thought the market was headed. He always responded to our emails within a few hours and we honestly felt like we were the only clients Matt was working with. I have no idea how he does it. We found a place we loved shortly after we started working with Matt. He helped us negotiate a price much lower than the asking price and walked us through every step of the closing process. Matt and his staff kept on top of every aspect of the closing and made sure our first time home buying process was seamless and even enjoyable. I would highly recommend Matt if you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledge about Chicago’s different neighborhoods, detailed information about each condo building/development, market trends, and construction quality. We couldn’t be happier about our home buying experience with Matt.

Omid Forouzan

Matt and his team are the beating heart of Chicago’s real state business. We finally bought a condo in Lincoln Park after a long search. Matt knows every home at every block in every neighborhood in Chicago and can provide an exceptional assessment of a property value. His team were very responsive and very professional. They made the whole process very smooth and even enjoyable. Exactly what you need as a buyer.

Josh Gammon

Matt Laricy and his team represented me in my search for and purchase of a Gold Coast condo in the spring of 2017. Matt was extremely candid and knowledgeable throughout the process; his explanation of the local market was insightful and prepared me to navigate a hot housing market in the downtown area. Matt and the rest of the team answered every email in a timely fashion, and when it came time to make an offer, the process moved quickly and decisively. We were able to get the unit I wanted at a price that I believe to be a solid deal. Matt's team also facilitated a very painless contract and closing process. He was able to recommend a mortgage lender and counsel, both of whom turned out to be very professional and offered competitive rates. I unreservedly recommend Matt Laricy and his team.

Kaylie Deshler

We truly feel like we struck gold finding Matt and his team! As first time home buyers relocating to Chicago from across the country, Matt and team made every aspect of the process enjoyable. They helped to answer all of our questions, accommodated our schedules and time zone differences, provided sound guidance regarding the city and various neighborhoods, and most importantly, helped us land our dream first home! We could not have asked for a better group to work with and will certainly return for our future Chicago real estate needs! I would highly recommend The Matt Laricy Group.

Janell Schmidt

2021 Update: Matt was the FIRST call we made to sell our condo and let me just say, I feel bad for anyone who hasn't experienced this group! My place sold within a WEEK! They just know what they heck they are doing and I'd never look anywhere else. Thank you, Matt and Team!! From the time we happened upon Matt he was completely true to his word. Never any high pressure tactics or expectations. His knowledge of Chicago, neighborhoods and the policies and rules was instrumental to our search. Once he learned of our priorities and preferences he was easily able to help us focus on those neighborhoods that would most fulfill our needs. While that was our foremost objective, Matt and his team made the process actually "fun." They have an impeccable attitude and their work ethic, skill and professionalism are out of this world. You simply cannot go wrong working with The Matt Laricy Group for your real estate needs.

Terri Rinella

We had an excellent experience working with Matt Laricy in buying our home and would highly recommend him. We originally chose Matt because of all the great reviews we found online and all of his awards and accolades -- and he absolutely lives up to the hype! Not only did he help us buy our first home, but he became a trusted advisor to us during the buying process and afterwards. Matt is an expert in local Chicago real estate, very responsive, and allows you to move at your own pace through the sales process. He and his team provided a great customer experience from beginning to end, utilizing easy to use technology to help in the home showing process (e.g. Google calendar for appointments, Google docs for home showing agendas, and Dropbox for listing details, etc.) As a trusted advisor, Matt shared his knowledge and opinions of what to look out for in a quality home (and what to avoid). We felt comfortable reaching out to him with questions and knew we could trust him for straight-forward and unbiased answers. We were also pleased with the recommendations he provided for our mortgage company, attorney, and inspector...and he helped coach us through and communicate across all of those parties during the buying process. Even after the sale, he continued to be engaged and support us in some issues we had in our home. With his network and positive reputation in the industry, he was able to elicit responses quickly from other realtors and the seller. We really appreciated how quick and responsive Matt was -- and how involved he stayed. Overall, we were extremely happy working with Matt. Thanks Matt for making our home buying experience a positive one!

Anne Mansk

Matt came recommended to us from a coworker who had nothing but praise for Matt's energy and expertise. After working with Matt on the recent sale of our home, we are in total agreement. From the initial interview to closing day, Matt and his staff made the whole process very easy for us. We lived offsite from the property, but that was never an issue for us. Matt was spot on with the selling price, always very responsive to our questions, and able to negotiate the price that we wanted. We appreciated Matt's professionalism from start to finish.

Anthony Wintheiser

Matt and team were absolutely stellar from start to finish. Matt was clear and efficient in his communication with me. He provided regular updates and quickly and expertly answered any questions I had about the condo or market. His communication in regards to steps, timing, and responsibilities was extremely organized and the team helped out with every request I had. Selling my condo while no longer living in Chicago would be hard for most but Matt and team made it as painless as possible. I recommend Matt without reservation and would go back to him to buy again if I ever moved back to Chicago. 5 stars across the board.

Kirin Singh

Matt and his team were amazing with helping my sister find an apartment in Chicago. They exceeded all of our expectations by being incredibly hard-working, efficient, and honest with their opinions to help us find the perfect place. Matt and Catherine had a significant amount of knowledge regarding the apartment buildings in Chicago, which was a great help. We were definitely on a time crunch when looking for a place, and Catherine always made time to show us any apartments we were interested in. Within less than two months, we were able to win a multiple bid on an apartment that we loved in the area we had hoped for. We really appreciated their help and efficiency with making this process so easy for us. Also, Matt knew that I was planning to move to NYC, and connected me with a great broker to help me with finding a place in NY! Matt never hesitated to help in any way that he could, which we really appreciated. Overall, Matt, Catherine, and his entire team have an incredible amount of knowledge and have been a pleasure to work with. We definitely recommend Matt and his team to anyone looking to find an apartment! Thank you guys!

Sevan Hrutkay

We worked with Matt and his team over the course of two months and they were extremely professional throughout the entire process. They took us through houses in neighborhoods all over the city of Chicago and once we found one we liked they helped us to negotiate and get the best price. As we went through the closing process they answered every question we had and continually worked with us to get all of the inspection issues corrected on our new condo! We enjoyed every part of the experience and will definitely be returning to Matt and team in the future!

Sona Margaryan

Matt went above and beyond to make the process for buying (in my case) as smooth as possible. I met with him with zero knowledge on how this process works, and in less than 2 months he helped me find a home I love. He masterfully negotiated the offer and I closed on the condo very quickly and without any challenges whatsoever. Matt also works with reliable and excellent partners - inspectors, attorneys - and guides the buyer every step of the way from day 1 to closing. He is also extremely responsive and responds to questions/texts within minutes if not seconds. I strongly recommend working with Matt, because he is awesome!

Keith Alvarez

Matt and his team made becoming a new homeowner smooth sailing! He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We were very specific with what we were looking for and he didn’t stop until he found us our dream condo! You could tell that he and his team are very passionate about their jobs and are always willing to answer any and all of your questions. I would definitely recommend Matt and his team and will be using them in any of our future real estate needs!

Joe Knapper

This is our second time working with Matt Laricy (first as a buyer, and now as a seller), and once again the experience has been top notch. Matt and his group are just an incredibly well-oiled machine, and the experience as a client couldn't be better. When we were buying our condo several years ago, we had to buy from out of town, within a very limited geographic area and budget, and close at a very specific time frame, and Matt made it all happen smoothly and with as little stress as possible. This time, we needed to sell our condo in a softening market while again closing within a very specific time frame, and Matt once again came through. His knowledge of the market is excellent - he can tell you more off the top of his head than many realtors can looking through their computers. He knows exactly what needs to be done to make a listing show well - and what can be skipped to save time and money. The pictures, video, and 3D tours were incredible and presented the best possible picture of our condo. When it came time to show the place, his team made the showings as unobtrusive as possible, and ultimately we found a buyer that worked perfectly with our tight closing window. The entire process ran as smooth as it possibly could, which is exactly what happened for us when buying a place with Matt 3 years earlier. We can't recommend him and his team highly enough.

Robert J. Meyer

As first-time home buyers, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our search for a place to call ‘home’ here in Chicago. (Mind you, this search began on a whim.) From our initial meet with Matt Laricy, up until the date of signing, Matt displayed an ease of confidence and professionalism that made us feel as though we were in great hands (Not to mention looking sharp in that blue power suit!). Whether it was Matt himself, or a member of his amazing team, we were always kept in the loop on what was going on and the next steps. They always made themselves available to us at any time, with immediate responses to any and every question we had that you’d assume would come from anxious first-time buyers. We never once felt pressured, intimidated, nor unwelcome. Matt and his team have a way of making you feel as though you’re their only client and of top priority to them. It didn’t take us very long to narrow our options down, as we quickly found ‘the one’ that we’d soon hope to call our home; although, it wasn’t for lack of options. Matt provided us with extensive lists of housing available to us according to our wants and needs (updating us with any new listings as they became available). Once we were ready to make an offer, their team was on top of it every step of the way! Making the process seem like it took no time at all. We even felt confident enough in Matt and his ability to establish strong connections and relationships with people, that we utilized all of his references (from recommendations on loans, to lawyers, to inspectors, to home-owners insurance... you name it). As we previously mentioned, we couldn’t be happier with each decision that we made together with Matt and his team at the Matt Laricy Group. Without question, we will come back to Matt and his team in the future for any of our home buying or selling needs! We highly recommend the Matt Laricy Group to anyone in the Chicago area who is looking to have a seamless and enjoyable process of searching for a new home. We’d like to give our gratitude and thanks again to Matt Laricy, Joe, other Matt, Jamie, Emma, Lisa and Dipti for being a part of this process with us. We couldn’t have done it without you! Robert & Josh

Gila Budescu

Recommending Matt and his team wholeheartedly. Always a step or two ahead of us, Matt and his team were totally professional, capable, reliable, attentive, considerate, wise, dynamic, knowledgeable and trustworthy throughout. Living in another part of the country, we were concerned about going through our condo sale remotely but Matt worked so hard on our behalf and had made the entire process so easy and stress-free. So fortunate we worked with Matt and if we ever need a Chicago broker again, Matt is our top choice!

Vincent Chau

Matt and team are AWESOME. They're knowledgeable, responsive, to-the-point, and professional. They provided me a tremendous amount of support during my search for a condo in Chicago and I would highly recommend them.

Eric Wolfe

We choose Laricy because the agency sells more private homes in downtown Chicago than any other. I also learned a lot about the process from his pod casts and weekly market updates. The agency runs like a machine. The only hiccup we had was a missed communication after signing with the buyer that caused some frustration. It was resolved and all ended well. We got a fantastic price for our former home and we are happy. We would use Matt again if we get silly enough to move back to Chicago.

PRIYANKA KESHAV

Matt and his team (Jamie, Mickey, Jodi and all) are incredibly professional, extremely responsive, knowledgable and an absolute delight to work with. As first time home buyers, we went from clueless to finding a perfect home within days. We loved working with Matt and would recommend this rockstar team to anyone buying/selling a home.

Gary Mitchiner

We just moved into our dream home on the Chicago lakefront in an iconic, architecturally and historically significant co-op building in north Streeterville. Our journey began with Matt agreeing to show us the apartment even after I shared with him that my wife and I were most likley headed for California after living in Chicago for 61 years. Matt and his team guided us through the process which is unique to co-op builidings (which are rare and unique to Chicago) and while there were several twists and turns to navigate, we made it through. Thank you Matt, Jamie and your full team. We're grateful to have the unique place to live which we consider as an opportunity to live in a piece of art and invest in one as well.

Matt Laricy is all that he promises to be. From his knowledge of the downtown Chicago housing market to his responsiveness and personal care of his clients, his service is next to none. We found Matt through reviews just like this and we were not disappointed. He exceeded our every expectation and was patient with us as we pursued our dream of finding a second home (the perfect condo) in the River North area of downtown Chicago. With Matt, dreams really come true. He showed us properties within our price range and specifications (although many!) efficiently and with lots of background knowledge of the buildings themselves, their management companies and activity around them such as new construction. He spent countless time with us on summer weekends at our convenience viewing 7 to 8 units at a time. Given our busy work schedules, his dedication to flexibility was amazing. He takes a personal interest in his clients and ensures the experience is enjoyable, efficient and smooth. Matt is a well connected and recognized real estate agent and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a place in downtown Chicago. You will enjoy the experience!

Matt and the entire Laricy team were simply top-notch and were incredibly helpful throughout the entire home buying experience! They were very responsive, transparent, and provided us with a ton of information. Any time we had a question we got a response almost immediately and we always felt like we were a priority. The resources we received throughout the process were tremendous and not once did we feel like we were in the dark. They constantly checked in on us until we closed and got our keys. The Laricy team has the home buying process down to a science and are simply the best!

Andres Nobili

I am a first time home buyer and had little knowledge on the whole process in buying a home. Matt and his team made it easy for me by taking me through the process step by step. They made it easy to schedule viewing and they were super flexible about which days and times you pick. One thing that stood out to me was their outstanding communication. They are very responsive to emails and calls. I knew if I had a question they would provide me with a through answer quick.

Melissa Powel

If Matt and his team can't get the sale done, no one can. Matt and his team provided updates on my sale before I even thought to ask. The team was extremely responsive and understood that selling a home can be a stressful experience. Not only did they find me a buyer within a month of listing my place, but they also managed to get the deal done a day early (in spite of the buyer nearly dropping the ball). Matt's a strong negotiator and definitely the best in the biz because he focuses on customer service and leverages technology like no one else out there. This year was not a sellers year, but with Matt on my side, it was for me. Thanks team!

Carl Payne

Matt and his group could not have made our buying experience any better. We were from out of town and he made it very easy for us to see all the places we wanted to see. No question was too simple for a rapid response. I would recommend him and will use him in the future when we sell/upgrade our current home.

Casey Worthington

Matt and his team are a pleasure to work with and made the entire process very easy. Matt is extremely experienced, well connected and informed but best of all he is extremely honest and blunt, which is refreshing when so many real estate agents always seem to be in sales mode (Matt will just straight up tell you if a unit is overpriced, or a building has a bad reputation, etc). He also has great recommendations for attorneys and lenders, introducing me to a better lender than the one I had chosen independently relatively late in my process who saved me a substantial amount of points for the same rate and closed in just over a week (and an attorney who was great from the beginning). I'd highly recommend Matt to anyone currently in the real estate market in any way (P.S. -- check out his podcast (The Matt Laricy Project) as well, it's very informative and interesting, especially for first-time buyers such as myself).

Nina Rosenthal

Matt is very buttoned up and detail oriented. He takes his job seriously and will do what it takes to get a sale. He is very professional and on top of things. He always keeps you in the loop & you never are left wondering what is going on or if he is working for you. Highly recommend!

Ashish Gupta

Matt and his team were fantastic. Matt met with me personally in October to get to know our needs and wants in a new condo. Emails for new places came almost daily, and when we found places we liked, his team communicated with us promptly to answer questions and set up showings. Our bid process was easy as well. We were intimidated at the prospect of buying real estate in a new city, but Matt and his team were friendly, professional, and made it easy.

Jonathan Young

Matt and his team are the best of the best. They are aggressive yet courteous, succinct yet polite, and personalized yet efficient. I entrusted two property sales to him while out of state and it was no hassle at all. Top marks and I definitely recommend for you to list or buy with Matt and his team.

Karley Sprong

Matt was absolutely wonderful! I moved from out of state and found Matt based on his online reviews. Being from out of state, I didn't know too much about Chicago real estate. Matt was extremely knowledgable and helpful throughout the whole process. He really knows the city and all the different buildings like the back of his hand. With the Chicago market being so hot, Matt was extremely knowledgeable in the best ways to win a multiple bid. I strongly believe that if I had a different realtor, I would not have gotten the condo that I fell in love with. Matt is an extremely honest and helpful realtor with a great team. I would highly recommend Matt!

Justin Sekhon

Matt and his team are absolutely incredible. We bought our condo a couple of years ago with him and had zero hesitation turning to him when it came to selling this summer. He talked us through what the process of selling would look like and the best/realistic price points for us. Within a couple days of us deciding to list, his team had amazing pictures and video of our place done and had it listed. From that point on, Matt and his team took care of everything. We always had feedback from showings, and weekly updates. They got our place sold within 3 weeks of being listed and overall are great to work with. Matt keeps it real with you, which is something we really appreciated. The entire closing team is awesome and we would highly recommend working with the Matt Laricy Group to anyone!

Ronen Zinman

Matt is a true professional! He is very knowledgeable, he knows the market well and makes sure his customers end-up with a great deal. Due to his good advising and perfect timing my offer was accepted although I wasn't the highest bidder. Although Matt is obviously a super successful realtor, he is also very down to earth. He is definitely a people's person, you can ask any question and he is always willing to give you an answer in a timely manner. He makes sure you know every aspect of the deal without making falls promises. I would definitely contact him again when I will start looking for another property. Thank you Matt and the team for your professionalism.

Elizabeth Fox

The dust has yet to settle from our move into the South Loop condo that Matt helped us purchase, but I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of positive reviews for Matt and his team. We chose to start the home-buying process with him on the basis of positive Yelp reviews and we are very happy with that decision. My spouse and I were in the midst of a very busy (tax) season at work and Matt and his team couldn't have been more helpful and organized once we found a place we liked enough to make an offer on. We appreciated the prompt calendar invites from Jamie every time a showing was scheduled as well as the whole team's flexibility in changing plans as things popped up. Matt himself was candid and straight-forward during this entire process, and we trusted his opinions. If we ever have to move again (please God, never again), we wouldn't hesitate to work with him.

Sam Davison

Matt and his team helped me find and purchase a condo as a first-time home buyer. They are efficient, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. Matt truly is on top of the game and is an absolute expert on real estate in Chicago. I look forward to working with Matt and his team again in the future and thank them for making the home buying process so smooth.

Marcin Szczepaniak

From start to end, Matt’s team was considerate of my needs and made the process easy for me. I enjoyed working with the Laricy Group and would recommend them to anyone else in the area. I will be keeping them in mind next time I have a real estate need. Shouts out to Mickey and Jamie. The whole team is a class act. Thank you!

Colleen Briscoe

We can’t give Matt enough stars. If you’re looking for a realtor, don’t second guess it. Just choose Matt! We intended to interview several realtors, but we met with Matt first and knew instantly we didn’t need to meet with anyone else! Matt told us in our first meeting that he doesn’t sugar coat anything, and that was something we wanted in a realtor. He is very fun (we seriously miss our showing days cruising around the city!) and professional, but doesn’t waste your time or beat around the bush. He always had the best advice and expertise! He knows everything there is to know about Chicago real estate. Seriously, he had an answer to everything- even when the listing agent didn’t know. He’s very busy but doesn’t rush your showings and allows you to take the time you need/ask your questions. Matt and his team made the closing process SO EASY with shared documents, step by step process, continual checkins, etc. We also used his recommendations for pretty much everything (inspector, mortgage, attorney, and probably more I’m forgetting!) and literally everyone he recommended was amazing! Through the entire process every aspect of working with Matt was smooth from start to finish. We had total trust in Matt and we found our home in just two weeks (and actually we saw our home on the first weekend of showings!). Our advice: Don’t overthink it, pick Matt, and then let him lead with his process! He won’t steer you wrong!

Tom

We were trying to sell our condo for over 7 months with another realtor, and we felt hopeless until we found Matt. He gave us the confidence that he was going to sell our condo, but was realistic with setting our expectations. He is a no BS kinda guy and we were confident he could get this done. We explained to him that we needed to be out of our one bedroom condo fast, with the added pressure of a baby on the way. The day after hiring, he had a team of people coming in to get our condo photographed, video'd and listed ASAP. We went live on a Wednesday and Matt brought us an offer that Sunday. After some negotiating, that he expertly guided us thru, we signed a contract. Again, Matt set expectations. And even though it wasn't the easiest process, Matt and his team got us through it. His assistants were in constant communication from start to finish. We were never left in the dark. And every time I reached out to Matt, he responded. Even if he missed my call, he called me back promptly. My wife and I are beyond grateful for Matt and his team. Thank you! The Matt Laricy Group is the only agency you need to consider for real estate in Chicago!

Don

Matt Laricy helped us with a sale of a condo and a purchase of a house, both within a 2 month period of time (Oct '18-Dec '18). Specific to the sale of the condo, we first met with Matt on a Sunday evening. Placed our condo on the market a week later, and accepted an offer above list price 10 days after our initial strategy conversation. Concurrently, we submitted an offer on a new single family home on the same day that we accepted the condo sale offer. Matt helped us negotiate and got us an accepted offer on the house within 24 hours. Matt's entire team, from Jamie Price (Executive Coordinator) to Lisa Saul (Attorney) to every other team member that supported us during the listing and sales process could not have created a smoother experience. Everyone was always extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to give added effort to instill confidence in this entire process. This company and their attorney's attention to details and commitment to an exceptional client experience was super impressive. We look forward to working with Matt Laricy, Lisa Saul and the entire team again on our next real estate transaction.

P C

Matt was my broker for a recent condo sale and I couldn't have been happier. The Matterport virtual tour he uses is amazing and he kept me up to date on the online marketing he was doing for my property. I have dealt with some of the other well-known Chicago brokers for higher end properties in the past, but I was surprised at their lack of personal involvement in the process as well as their out of date approach to online marketing. What sets Matt apart is the obvious personal effort he puts into growing and improving his business. He's still hungry and not just on cruise control. That's the kind of broker I want. From start to finish, I felt that Matt was always honest and genuine with me. That is rare enough. He also clearly cared about getting my condo sold and making the entire process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend him.

Lela F

Matt and his team were amazing to work with. He helped us to buy a condo ~8 years ago and was phenomenal to work with then. When we were ready to sell our condo during the pandemic after finding a house in the burbs, we initially made a mistake and worked with a different realtor. The suburban company offered a discounted commission rate to work with them, so we gave it a try. We learned our lesson! After 6 months and no success, it was a no brainer to contact Matt and his team for help. They were AMAZING! He told us exactly what we needed to do to get the job done. He provided regular and timely updates on his marketing efforts, and the return on those efforts. We saw an immediate increase in interest in our property both with online views and in-person showings. We even had a more successful open house during what are typically dead months than we had in all of the 6 months working with the other realtor during prime selling time. He and his team put 150% into all of their work and he helped us sell FINALLY in record timing. Hands down we would use Matt Laricy again in a heartbeat. His expertise is invaluable.

Daniel Hwang

Matt and his team recently helped me sell my townhome in University Village. Selling a home is a very stressful process, but Matt and his team managed the entire process seamlessly. I have been party to five real estate transactions in my life and in terms of real estate agents, this was by far the best experience I have had. I communicated mostly with Jamie Price in regards to day-today administrative matters and she consistently provided me with timely notices and responses. Jamie is abnormally nice and pleasant to deal with (that’s a good thing). Matt was always available for any general concerns or questions, and he always provided me with honest and insightful responses. Matt also regularly provided me with updates regarding interest in my property and the state of the market. I moved across the country to California before we closed on this property, but Matt’s team kept me well informed and involved throughout the process. Beyond the exceptional service I received, I noticed a few things that set Matt’s team apart from most other real estate agencies. They really “sell” your place. They will actively market your property on various social media sites and offer staging services. Also, an agent from Matt’s team will always be personally present at every showing (no use of lock boxes with these guys) and they will be dressed professionally, not in some standard suit and tie uniform, but quite fashionably. This might be a little thing, but I felt as though the perception of my property was enhanced, as the people representing it always looked professional and tasteful. This may not be important to everyone, but it is an example of their effort and attention to small details. To top it off, Matt was a shrewd negotiator when the offers finally started coming in. I credit him for selling our place without much in way of repair credits or other buyer credits.

Meghan Peternel

Matt helped us navigate a multiple bid situation (and win!) and then a quick close to follow. Everyone he works with from lenders to attorneys were top notch recommendations and he made this first time experience for us stress-free and enjoyable. The bar has been set high, and we feel so lucky to have worked with the Matt Laricy Group!

Danielle Douglas

Matt Laricy is our hero. As is Jamie, and everyone else we worked with at the Matt Laricy Group, not to mention, everyone they referred us to (attorney, inspector, etc.) was also top notch. We don't know what we did right to get so lucky to work with Matt and his group, but as first time home buyers, the daunting task of home buying we had always expected, turned out to be one of the most smooth, exciting, and FUN experiences we've had. Every step of the way we felt heard, informed, organized, & immediately felt we could trust and have confidence in everyone supporting our search. We cannot recommend Matt Laricy's Group more! So responsive and helpful the whole way through. We will be sharing him with everyone we know who is on the hunt in Chicago. Oh! And be sure to ask Matt about wine... he might know even more about wine than real estate... ;)

Matthew Keesecker

When it comes to a realtor who truly 'has your back' Matt Laricy is your guy. We've worked with Matt on a few transactions, and with each one, his standard of excellence is unmatched. From the initial meeting you know that you are dealing with a professional, who truly has a pulse on the Chicago marketplace. His boutique operation focuses on the needs of the client first and foremost, and delivers sales results to back it up. And intertwined during the entire sales process, is Matt's personal touch and insight to ensure you are fully informed and comfortable every step of the way. In short, if you want to sell your home, and you need someone beyond reproach, Matt Laricy is who you should call.

jay sisney

We had an outstanding experience with Matt Laricy, Catherine Holbrook, Jamie, Delaney and the Team at MLG. Matt is very knowledgeable, responsive and a master negotiator. There was consistent communication and we received daily updates. Each team member played an integral part in making the selling and purchasing process seamless from A to Z. In listing, we found MLG’s market campaign and use of technology to be impressive and more importantly effective, receiving multiple offers within 48-hrs of being listed. Matt also comes with an extended network of Mortgage Lending Executives, Real Estate Attorneys and Home Inspection Teams - who were a pleasure to work with. A special thank you to Ben Cohen, Managing Director and Senior Vice President at Guarantee Rate. Thank you for your help

YC

We're very impressed by Matt and his group. They're extremely responsive, attentive and detail-oriented. They're willing to offer additional help along the selling process. Especially, they do an extremely good marketing job, utilizing various social media platforms. I have to say, they're very professional. Also, Matt has a good understanding of foreign culture. This not only facilitates the conversation between us but also helps when he talks to potential customers outside the state. Of course he also has a good master of local market. Overall, we're very happy with his service and would definitely go for him if we need to buy a property in Chicago.

Kristan Griesbach

This was our second time working with Matt for our home purchase in Chicago. Matt is exceptionally professional and responsive to all questions and inquiries. Additionally, he is knowledgable about the market, neighborhoods, and properties in the area. He has a good understanding of what his clients are looking for and provides honest, helpful advice throughout the process. Not only was Matt wonderful to work with, but his team was helpful, supportive, and easy to communicate with. They maintained exceptional organization and were always available to answer questions. We would highly recommend working with Matt to find your next home!

Erin Flanigan

I will forever be grateful to Matt and his team for making the selling and buying of homes an enjoyable experience and also a great financial decision. Matt has a great marketing team and set of relevant marketing tools and strategies that reach today’s buyers. He provides full transparency into the process so that I could make well informed decisions every step of the way and he and his team kept me and the other parties super organized so that the process was as smooth and seamless as possible. Matt over-delivered on every commitment, exceeded all of my expectations and was a pleasure to work with.

Jessica Vician

We worked with Matt and his team to sell our West Town condo recently. It's a unique unit that has the potential to bring in a great price if marketed well, so I was looking for a team who would not only use effective and polished marketing, but present a classy and polished look themselves. After all, the agent sells the property as much as the property itself does. Matt quickly proved that he and his team were exactly what we needed. He understands the market like no other Chicago realtor I've met, and he bases his predictions on statistics, not just instinct. He has a great handle on his team, ensuring that if he isn't there for a showing, the team member who is is educated on the nuances of the property. Other pros: Matt and his team are always in suits or business professional attire, further setting a high-class and professional tone for the property and transaction; a team member is always present for showings, inspections, etc., so a lockbox isn't needed—this was very important to us because we feel that having an agent represent the seller at showings is an important part of the sales process, as well as the lockbox being a security issue. Both Matt and his team were always quick to respond and Matt provided thoughtful advice when we needed it. He helped us get an offer less than four days after going on the market and ensured the offer came through and stuck. We would absolutely recommend and use Matt and his team again for another sale.

Mike Marshall

Matt was great. He was incredibly responsive throughout the process. He and his team ran everything for us while we were out of state, and the process went very smoothly. The photos / content they provide made our house look great - well beyond our expectations. He gave great advice, knew the area well, and was candid throughout the process. Could not recommend Matt and his whole team (especially Jamie who went to bat for us time after time).

Laird Stabler

Had a very good experience with Matt and his team in the sale of our condo and our new condo purchase. They were always very professional, informative, and responsive, often responding within minutes. Their tech is state of the art and presented our condo beautifully. Matt's experience and negotiating skills were very beneficial, despite dealing with some difficult third parties. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt and the Matt Laricy Group.

ce ka

I found Matt via his impeccable realtor reviews when we decided to make a huge life change from our single family home in NY to a condo in Chicago. Let me just say I couldn't have asked for a better or more knowledgeable realtor! This was a long term process for us, and Matt always responded to our questions and concerns with speed and thoughtfulness. He did his best to minimize our stress, and made himself available whenever we came into town to view properties. He was highly communicative throughout the negotiation process (which he handled masterfully), and stayed in close contact as he guided us through closing and beyond! His staff is highly organized and made it easy for transactions and signings to take place electronically (a necessity when you're out of state). Needless to say, I most definitely recommend Matt if you're looking for a realtor in Chicago :-)

Samar Emami

Matt helped me buy my first home. He is super professional in many levels. He was very honest and straightforward which helped me a lot in my decision-making process. Very organized and very punctual. I felt like he was really on my side and considered my benefits rather than just trying to sell me a condo. To him professional relationships and networking was far more important than his personal benefits. He's very easy to work with and I highly recommend him to everyone out there looking for a home as he made the process pleasant and very quick.

mina Aitelhadj

Matt and his team helped us sell our house for the second time. And all I can say is thank you for all that you do! You and your team are truly exceptional. We worked with Matt and his team on several transactions. Our last transaction was selling our Town home. We told Matt we were relocating and he got his team out to work. within 48 hrs we listed our house, within a week we had an open house and an offer, of course we turned it down. but within a few moths we sold our place and were on our way to the west coast. Matt and his team were on top of everything managing everything for us. I cannot say enough about Matt and his team except you will be in excellent hands!

Allison Smith

Matt helped us purchase our first condo in Chicago and I would recommend Matt and his team 100%. I don't believe there is anyone that works harder in the business. They were always available, very helpful with our questions, and got us a good price. It was a pleasure to work with Matt, his expertise helped us greatly, we love our new home!

Keaton Thomas

We are so happy that we ran into Matt. My girlfriend and I were wandering through Chicago learning about neighborhoods in order to educate ourselves for our move from Washington DC, when we ran into Matt. We happened to be standing in the lobby as Matt came down from a showing, and he was gracious enough to allow us to barge into his day and show us the unit after his scheduled showing. After going through that first unit and seeing how knowledgeable, pragmatic and honest Matt was, we knew we had found our agent. As we continued our search, Matt was always incredibly responsive and accommodating of our scheduling constraints as "out of town" buyers. He continued to impress us with his knowledge of every building, empty lot and building HOA in downtown. Even while Matt was on vacation in Europe, he continued to follow up on our final closing details and ensured his kind and helpful team were present to help us with every concern. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or agent than Matt Laricy. He will surely be our agent in all future downtown Chicago real estate decisions.

Ameya Padhye

Matt and his team are truly all 5 star agents!! I first used Matt while buying my condo about 3 years ago and most recently Matt helped us sell the condo. We couldn't have been more pleased with the overall experience. His professionalism, promptness, market instinct, and work ethic are unparalleled. He helped us price our condo perfectly which led to multiple bids and a higher overall final price. His investment in Matterport also paid dividends in the end. Matt and his team have perfected the buy / sell process and got all of the relevant information up front so that in the end the listing and closing process was very smooth. The highlight of working with Matt is the fantastic communication. I don't know if Matt ever sleeps because I always received text or email replies to my questions within minutes no matter the time of day!! To be honest, Matt and his team really spoiled us with their experience because it was a night and day difference when we worked with other agents while looking for a house in the suburbs. If Matt did suburban real estate, I would have used him without a doubt!! Can't really say much more than you won't regret going with him.

Gjokica Dautovski

We recently moved to Chicago and decided to look for a place to buy. We found Matt thru google via all the positive reviews people left. He did not disappoint in fact he exceeded all expectations. This is not our first house buying experience but we must say that going thru the process with Matt is simply next level service. You think a realtor is a realtor until you meet him and then the bar skyrockets. His professionalism in his work, quick response times, and knowledge in the area is simply unbelievable! If other realtors had half of Matt's work ethic and knowledge than people would no longer feel like the house buying process is overwhelming but instead enjoyable. Thanks Matt, it was a real pleasure working with you.

Matt Ginsburg

I cannot recommend Matt Laricy enough. He is an absolute professional with expertise in every facet of the real estate market. I used Matt to both buy and sell my condo; both experiences were extremely positive. Matt operates as a "small" shop, but functions the same way as you'd expect from a very large real estate operation. He invests in technology to provide the best market intelligence, advertising and sale of your property. You can catch Matt via email, text, or phone easily; his responsiveness is incredible. Additionally, he has assembled a team that provides that same top-notch service to make the entire buying and/or selling process incredibly smooth. When evaluating each aspect that you'd want from a realtor, Matt hits the mark....his market knowledge, negotiating acumen, responsiveness, and "quarterbacking" of the entire process is truly impeccable. To summarize, use Matt. You will thank yourself for doing so.

Jennifer

Matt and his team are seriously awesome. This was my sixth property purchase (so I have experienced a LOT of realtors) but my very first one in Chicago, so I wanted somebody exceptional. It didn't take much research to find Matt and the glowing reviews proved completely true. Matt is super-responsive, and is always there to join you at showings and give you good honest opinions on the properties and areas you're considering - he wants you to find the best place for you to call home, not the best place for him to sell. Once you've got an accepted offer, the rest of the team springs into action and you honestly don't have to think about a thing - they make the process so easy and so seamless. Jamie is a superstar - she kept us organized and on-track, even with the pandemic throwing some curveballs. So happy to have found an awesome Chicago realtor, and I will definitely be using Matt and his team for all my future transactions.

Sheila R

To say Matt and his team are phenomenal to work with is an understatement. I was planning to relocate from California to Chicago; I had only been to the city a couple times and didn't know much about the neighborhoods, market dynamics, etc. I reached out to a few realtors on and Matt was the first to respond - in fact, he called me back within 30 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. Throughout the process, he took the time to listen to what I was looking for, explain the different neighborhoods and buying processes unique to Chicago, and answer a million questions. He also spent time helping me figure out what exactly I wanted (duplex, high-rise, etc.) and had no issues course correcting when I figured out what I actually liked (which wasn't what I originally thought I would). His responses to my questions were always lightening fast and he never made me feel like I was bothering him. Matt is both extremely knowledgeable and straight-forward - two musts if you want to make the right purchase and get a great deal. In addition, his team is awesome! They are just as responsive as he is and on-top of everything throughout the process. Matt and his team made buying a home in Chicago from 2,000 miles away one of the most seamless processes I've experienced. I cannot recommend Matt and team enough!

Sarah Dhake

Absolutely fantastic, superb, top-notch. Five stars all around! Matt Laricy and his team is the epitome of how realtors should function. Always available, prompt, informative, honest. We found Matt based on his stellar reviews and we are excited that our experience matched the expectation. We were in the market for our first condo and Matt's team made the process as smooth as possible. He is always available to answer questions, see properties, and give his honest opinion and insight about each location. His vast experience in real estate adds a special touch to the process and gave us a context in which to evaluate the huge variety of properties in downtown Chicago. We give him the highest recommendation and are looking forward to working with him in the future. He is 100% deserving of his reputation. Matt Laricy Group - thanks again for everything.

Shaun Lippy

Matt sold my condo in Chicago recently after some fantastic negotiating. I had a deal fall through due to financing, and Matt actually had a back up offer that he talked up to my price range the very same day the other deal fell through. Amazing! My condo had the benefit of good location, but it also had a lot of difficulties that Matt and his team had to compensate for - a wall outside the main window, dated appliances, carpet in bedrooms, etc. Matt consistently turned out prospectives throughout the listing - we averaged several per week even in the dead of winter. I give Matt my highest recommendation - he's far and away the best realtor I've ever dealt with, in Chicago and elsewhere.

Michael DeLetto

Matt Laricy and his team are exactly who you want in your corner when buying real estate. They take the time to understand what you are looking for. Then find the property that will check all of your criteria boxes. As a first time home buyer I had many questions. Matt and his team were always fast to answer any question or concern. Working with Matt was an absolute pleasure. His breadth of knowledge on the many Chicago buildings made showings a breeze. He was honest with his advice, but always willing to work with what you wanted. I look forward to working with Matt Laricy again in the future.

Guy Gross

Matt is the consummate real estate professional. His knowledge and honest input of the neighborhoods and buildings was invaluable to us - first time condo buyers. Matt understood that we were trying to find our way regarding what we wanted and he was patient with us to develop what was important to us. One of the invaluable things was that he figured out what we wanted and where it was best to find it very quickly. Now that we have gone through this process, I really can't imagine going through this process with anyone other than Matt. We would use Matt again in a heartbeat and I would strongly suggest you get Matt on your side.

Catie Vignona

Matt and his team were a dream to work with. My husband and I were selling our Chicago condo from out of state and this was our first time selling a home. Matt made the whole process from start to finish a breeze! Jamie was just as much a part of this process- we couldn't say enough good things about her! All around wonderful experience working with the Laricy team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!***

Matt Lovato

Matt and his team were brought to me as a recommendation from VERY experienced home buyers (ex-military that have moved more times than they care to think about), so I trusted the recommendation, and I was absolutely not disappointed. They are extremely knowledgeable and available. Matt knows the game and how to play. He knew when and how to push the right buttons and get me what I needed. One of the best things I can say is that Matt made me feel like I was his only client, although I know they are busy. He was always available and always answered or called back immediately. My purchase happened months ago and he still takes my calls to give me advice. Couldn't ask for more. If I buy or sell again, I'm calling the Laricy Group.

Matt and his team were a bright light in our home-buying experience. Even with a deep client list, the team was there for meetings and to answer questions so promptly that you would think you were their only client. Matt was able to get us our dream home within a few showings and was there with us until closing. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Jessica Hwang

We just moved to Chicago and were determined to find the best realtor to work with. I did some research and found Matt Laricy. After meeting with him, he immediately went to work to schedule showings. He found us a place that was off-market that we fell in love with. Matt is the hardest worker we know and it's no surprise why he is the best of the best in Chicago. You will not be disappointed in working with Matt. He gets things done, no questions asked. He went above and beyond our expectations, and we will work with him again in the future.

Regina Chen

Matt was very responsive and helpful throughout the process of purchasing my first condo. He and his team really know the area and provided thorough support at every step. He really gives his honest opinion. Overall very helpful and high integrity!

Kelly Minor

I cannot say enough nice things about Matt and his team! He was above and beyond mine and my fiance's expectations. My fiance travels for work Monday-Thursday and at the time I was studying for a board exam meaning our schedules were hectic and difficult to coordinate. Matt always put our time above his own; whether that meant asking a colleague to help us with a showing or last minute rearrangements of his own schedule we were always able to see the condos we wanted to, on a schedule that worked for us. We are so thankful and indebted to Matt and his team as we found and closed on our perfect condo in just 2 short months! Not only did Matt help us find our perfect home but he also introduced us to the greatest lender and real estate attorney Chicago has to offer! Thank you a million times over, Matt! We are so happy you are so great at your job.

David Hensley

Fantastic experience all the way through the home-buying process. Matt is impeccable, patient, and a stalwart advocator for his clients. His team is amazing at helping us stay on track and giving us the resources needed. Matt and team deserve all of the five star ratings. I would absolutely look to working with them in the future.

Patrick Dickinson

Matt pitched a 5 star presentation detailing what he and his group offer regarding selling our rental property. What sets Matt and the Laricy Group apart is that he delivers on his 5 star program every step of the way. No surprises, no delays, simply results. We'll definitely be using Matt and the Laricy Group in the future to sell our other rental properties as well as any purchase opportunities that come our way.

Megan Shah

If you want to sell your property quickly, hire the Matt Laricy Group, listen to their expert recommendations and utilize their outstanding resources. Laricy has cultivated a team comprising the best talent in the business. He takes a no-nonsense and honest approach and has a masterful comprehension of the market. Our property went on the market the very week that the Covid-19 lock down began. Matt and his team did not miss a beat and still managed to get our property sold in a month. I would hands-down recommend Matt and his team. They are hands down the best-in-the business.

Caitlin Wright

The best thing you could ever do when buying or selling a home is to hire Matt and his team. They literally made everything so easy and took all the stress of selling away. After not having luck the year before, Matt came in and had our place sold above asking in less than 5 days. There is a reason for all his five star reviews. He is the best at what he does. We recommend all our friends and family to him.

Deane Gidlund

Matt worked very hard to accommodate our needs. Due to many extenuating issues, Matt had to overcome quite a few challenges in order to effectively market our place to potential clients. We had a condo in need of updating with impending lawsuits against the association; he helped potential buyers see the promise in the place and to see past some of the obstacles. He even helped secure financing when the service was needed. Matt and his associates always maintained a positive attitude throughout the process.

Peter Magrini

We utilized Matt and his team for both the sale of our condo and the purchase of a new condo. They exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. Matt and his team were responsive, organized and thorough. Their extensive use of technology was critical in creating a collaborative forum for exchanging information, schedules and dialogue. From the initial meeting, his knowledge of the market conditions, buying patterns and marketing our condo for sale were outstanding. His referrals for staging, painting and anticipatory repairs for any inspection were all excellent. The team’s communication was frequent and informative, and they were reachable at any time. They were always willing to listen to our concerns or suggestions, but wouldn’t hesitate to exert their expertise where appropriate. On the buy side of our relationship, Matt knew at least 95+% of the other realtors, areas, and buildings of the city that we were interested in. While providing a significant amount of information on what was available, he was still able to highlight items that met our specific needs and wants. He was able to understand what we were looking for even if we couldn’t articulate things precisely. We felt, at all times, that we were working with a professional and business-minded organization. Yet, we also felt that they were looking out for our best interests, and had our ultimate satisfaction as a priority. We’d highly recommend Matt and The Matt Laricy Group!!!

Alex Wu

Thank you Matt, Jamie, Lisa, Jena and the rest of his team who made the process a smooth and enjoyable one. Suits and looking sharp are a must, which also translate to an efficient and effective work attitude. We are actually referred by a friend. We enjoyed the honest and down to earth comments from Matt during showings. He keeps in touch yet never pushy. He and his team are responsive even at the wee hours. We appreciate he keeps his communications succinct and to the point. He and his team are particuarly phenomenal during the anxiety prone closing process for a first time home buyer. They keep a clear to do list, follows up and stay on top of things to close on time. Highly recommend and look forward to work with Matt in the future.

Laura Brinkoetter

We chose Matt Laricy to be our realtor to help sell our condo, and move into a single family home in June 2020. The whole experience, from beginning to end, was fantastic. From the buy side, Matt provides an incredible amount of information to ensure you are the most informed buyer. We never once felt pressure to put an offer in, as some realtors may be keen to do. From the sell perspective, WOW! His team goes above and beyond to once again ensure you are the most informed about what is going on. From the communication and feedback on the showings to weekly emails updating you on how Matt is managing your property and what he's doing for you behind the scenes (calls, marketing, etc.). The major differentiating factor was when we went under contract on both properties. This is where most realtors drop out of the process, and leave you standing high and dry to manage the process through to close. Matt employs a full time staff who project manage the checklist to help you get to close. This was so smooth, and every week Jamie from his team checked in on us to make sure all was progressing, provide updates, and help through any issues. This is an all-star team through and through.

Josh Kalina

Matt was great. He showed us a number of places and was patient with us at every turn. Matt and his group are quick to respond to every email. The greatest benefit, especially as first time homebuyers, was the network of professionals that Matt puts you in contact with through the process. There's quite a few critical timelines in a home closing and it comes as a huge benefit to have a broker that can recommend ideal candidates for the attorney, mortgage process, inspector, and even contractors if needed. If you need a real estate broker, I highly recommend Matt.

Susan Fan

Matt is our buyer's agent. He has exceeded all our expectations. He not only shows us properties but also sends us articles to help us understand the housing market and trend. He is extremely responsive, efficient and organized. With his help and guidance we successfully selected a house. We would highly recommend him for any real estate services for anyone who is in need of buying or selling a house.

Ryan

tl;dr Matt is professional, attentive and honest. Highly recommended. My wife and I were considering Chicago for a possible short term place to live and long term rental property. We really didn't know too much and reached out to Matt for help. Matt immediately responded and was very straightforward with us. He listened to our goals, told us what could work and what to expect. He didn't pressure us at all and was very available. We ultimately decided that Chicago wasn't for us at this time, but if we do in the future, Matt is who we will call.

Leo Zhu

Matt and his team are impeccable. The experience and expertise that Matt provides is immense. He will inform you on how and what the market is doing, what he expects the next factors will be, and what to look out for. Matt is tell it like it is, has a wealth of information, and will inform you to best of his knowledge. I look forward to working with him again in the future

Cynthia Lasky

When you are choosing a realtor from 2200 miles away, all you can rely on are online reviews. I researched over a dozen realtors and choose Matt. From the time that we met him through our closing, I can only say that all the great reviews are very well founded. Matt was the most responsive realtor we have ever used. If we sent him an email, we would receive a response immediately. He and his staff are on top of every little detail. Having never lived in Chicago, his local knowledge regarding different areas and buildings was extremely helpful in our selection process. I would recommend Matt to anyone who wants a reliable, honest and professional realtor who is there for you every step of the way.

Tom Byrne

Matt and his team were great!! They were VERY RESPONSIVE and gave us feedback on showings very quickly. They were pleasant to deal with and very professional. We have and will recommend him to our friends and family. We have used many realtors in the past and he is by far is the best!!! The process was stress free and easy from start to finish.

derek schou

As a first time home buyer Matt and his team made this process as simple, smooth, and painless as possible. I was able to ask any questions that I had (I had a lot) and receive a speedy response. Whether you are meeting with Matt or a member of his team, you know that you will be taken care of. I would happily recommend Matt and his team to anyone who is looking to buy in Chicago.

Bill McNulty

Matt knows the local market very well, knows every building and is able to describe the local neighborhood on every block. His office runs very efficiently and he was able to arrange showings to make best use of our limited time. He was a tough negotiator on our behalf and his entire process from first introduction to closing was fast and digital with no drama.

Christopher Shouldice

Matt and his full team are top notch! Best there is! We have used Matt now for two purchases and two sales over the course of the last 7 years, and each experience was flawless. Matt’s entire team is super professional, helpful and responsive throughout the entire process... and Matt himself is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and gets the best results for his clients! +++

kevin yang

Matt and his team are true professionals. I am an out of town buyer with no previous experience in the city. From the onset, he was direct and to the point. There is no beating around the bush. His team works extremely hard and communication was phenomenal. If I had to buy again in the city, I will without a doubt work with him again.

Calvin Kujawa

This was the second time I have used Matt & his team; originally when I bought a property in 2012 and then again when I sold this year. His team is very professional, and communicated in a timely manner. I felt confident in relying on his expertise. The condo was on the market for less than a week, so they certainly know how to present & network the location to other realtors. Great experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago.

Kelly Smetana

Matt and his team are the best in Chicago! As a first time home buyer, he guided me through the process and answered all of my questions at virtually any hour (even after closing). Matt is very knowledgeable and honest about the market. You can trust that he will steer you in the right direction to find the perfect home based on your preferences. I would highly recommend you have Matt on your side when purchasing your next home.

Chris K

Matt was excellent to work with. Matt was Professional, responsive, attentive, reliable, and always on top of what needed to be done. We trusted Matt to get it done with selling our home. thank you

Lisa Milani

I randomly found Americorp LTD online while searching for a Chicago condo from 500 miles away. I had been talking to a few realtors but I remember Matt was not "pushy". He offered to meet me in person to get a better idea of what I was looking for. Shortly after our first conversation, I told him I would fly down from Minneapolis to see a few properties. I would be remiss not to mention how impressed I was listening him talk to the seller's realtor. Instantly, I trusted that he had my best interest in mind. I decided to have Matt represent me that day. Matt Laricy continued to prove he was an incredibly talented Real Estate Broker. His exceptional knowledge of the downtown Chicago market, connections in the industry, creativity and tenacity made my state to state move a virtually stress-free experience. Additionally, Matt has seamlessly assembled the perfect team within The Matt Laricy Group. Every single person that contacted me thru this buying process knew their role and got things done! This has resulted in my dream of a state-to-state move coming true! Countless thanks to the Matt Laricy Group!

Gebran Mansour

I started my search for a condo with minimal knowledge on how the home buying process works. Matt and his team sat down and walked me through the entire process and gave time estimates on each step. Matt sent Tyler to help me, who was very thorough and sent a ton of condos that matched what I was looking for/within price range. He made himself available everyday and was always able to book showings the very next day. We saw many condos in a 3 weeks span and Tyler acted in a professional manner each day we saw him. Even among the COVID-19 pandemic, Tyler was able to meet with me and show me places. Jamie was great in finalizing details and sending everything both the seller and I needed in a timely manner. I am so grateful I used the Matt Laricy Group to purchase my first condo and highly recommend them to anyone.

Lorena Vázquez

This review is long overdue. As my husband and I reflect on all the wonderful things we are thankful for this 2016, it goes without saying that we could not be happier that we bought our first home! However, this would not have been possible (at least not without the headaches) without Matt and his team. When Matt is working with you, you feel as though you are the only client. He provided personalized attention and was very responsive to our needs (even when that meant an email during the middle of the night for a random thought I may have). Matt is extremely pleasant and cheerful, but even more important than those characteristics (and what stands him out above the rest), is how knowledgeable he is! During each of our showings, it was evident that he was better prepared than the selling agents – quoting from the market, recent data, value appreciation/depreciation, community, neighborhood….everything! This is definitely an agent you want on your side. Thank you, Matt!

Tom Shea

I only have good things to say about my experience with Matt and his team. They’re a small, scrappy group in a crowded space up against massive corporations, and yet seem to be successful against the odds. I don’t win against corporations unless you have some sort of a competitive advantage, and Matt Laricy group’s competitive advantage is plain and simple - they put relationships above paychecks. I worked with Matt, and as a first time homebuyer, I felt Matt was a great teacher. Matt is a straight shooter; he’s always going to give you his honest opinion. You might not always like it, but his opinion is probably one of the most valuable in the industry. Throughout the process, I felt Matt always had my best interest in mind. In a field where every dollar you don’t save goes directly into the pocket of those on the other side of the table, you want someone who you feel will put your best interest first and advocate an your behalf. Once you work with Matt and his team, you’ll understand why they are as successful as they are. I recommend Matt and his team wholeheartedly -Tom, first time homebuyer

Alicia Thompson

Matt and his team were great! I had to move for a job, and I needed things processed for an apartment purchase in a short period of time. They were super helpful and were able to orchestrate a very quick turn around for our purchase. Incredibly professional and efficient. Thanks guys!

Jessica Louie

Matt Laricy, Jamie, and his team are the best realtor group in Chicago! Our journey first started for a random interest in a listing a year ago where he noticed and asked if we were first time home buyers and took the time to meet with my husband and me to explain the process, the Chicago market, and catered to what we were looking for. Flash forward to us restarting our search a month ago and we closed our condo today! He is honest and straightforward which is so refreshing to lay our trust to. What's valuable is that he knows the status of every building in Chicago and that helped us greatly narrow down our choices. He responds super quick and every recommendation he's given has turned out well. We can't thank him and his team enough!

Sean Roberts

I cannot say enough about Matt and his team. Complete professionals. I was alittle on the fence about putting up my place during a pandemic, but I'm glad I did in the end. For every small, random, seemingly insignificant question I had they always responded within a few hours, sometimes with minutes, with a response. Matt and his team were great to work and they were on top of everything. I cannot say enough good things about the whole process and how easy it seemed. If you need to sell you place, stop your search and go with Matt Laricy.

Amy Chen

Matt and this team are awesome. As first time home buyers, my husband and I had no idea what we wanted (a high-rise? a duplex? how many bedrooms?) and where we wanted (South Loop? Lakeview?). Matt was very knowledgeable, gave us excellent advice, and told us clearly when he didn't like a place, even if that meant he had to drive us around to look at more places. He was also very patient as we probably visited 50+ places over the course of a year in our quest to figure out what we wanted. After we placed an offer, his team was amazing at walking through the process, and now we're finally homeowners! Quick tip: we did some shopping, but we ended up using Matt's suggested lawyer, lender, and home inspector - they all did an excellent job, and gave us very competitive rates. So that saves a lot of work for you as well!

Calvin Lam

Matt Laricy Group is the best real estate team in Chicago. They helped sell my luxury downtown condo in weeks and patiently helped me buy a nice house in the suburb. They worked well together for showings and always have professional attires. They also referred me to many other vendors to help the selling process easier - contractor, mover, inspector, attorney, title company. It is an one stop shop and you have to try them out. Many Thanks!!!

Julian Tillotson

You think buying a house would have to be a complicated process but Matt made the entire process absolutely SEAMLESS for us!! From finding the right lender, to searching for and getting our place under contract and closing, this guy made it all happen with ease. His team is amazing and extremely helpful. He even hooked us up with his contractor after closing so we could start on a few updates to the place. If you're looking for THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN THE BUSINESS, call Matt.

Laura Siwek

Matt and his team: Amy, Maggie, Chuck and others are very deserving of the positive reviews you see here. They are highly motivated, knowledgeable, responsive and really get the job done. Matt and his team got our condo under contract in 6 days after listing. I highly recommend you seek out their services if you want your place sold quickly and done right. I was a first time seller and they made the process smooth.

Nidhi Bhakhri

A great start is half the battle won. For us, it started with choosing Matt Laricy as our realtor. As we started writing the review, we realized we both have had a great experience and wanted to share our individual experience. So, here you go with our individual reviews for Matt! From Her: Having no knowledge about the housing market it was extremely important for us to find a realtor who was both a guide and an advisor to us besides being good at his/her job! Matt has proved to be all three and then some. Matt helped us navigate through the process(of home buying) keeping a tight reign on our short term and long term goals. With his keen eye and attention to details Matt would always help us, not only, look at even the smallest of things, but also explained why we should pay attention to those things. This helped us make more informed and intelligent decisions. He had some great insights about buildings and neighborhoods we were looking at. These insights when coupled with our needs and desires helped us focus more on what would/ would not work for us. And I believe it is important to stay focused during the home buying process as there are just too many distractions and its easy to feel lost and clueless. We spent over 6 months looking for that perfect condo to start the next phase of our lives, and thanks to Matt we were able to not only find everything we desired (not kidding). He was very patient with us, never pushy, very prompt (he responded to email/calls within seconds irrespective the time of the day), extremely organized(shout out to his team especially Maggie and Amy) and always pleasant. He proved to be a great asset to us as he was not only well informed but also has great negotiating skills. These skills helped us get our gorgeous new condo at a price much lower than the asking! While there is no doubt in my mind that we have found our go to person for all our Real Estate needs, what we love the most is that he is a progressive thinker and open minded to learning new things and technologies! In short, he is an awesome guy!! From Him: As first-time home buyers, we were definitely in unfamiliar and frightening territory, but Matt put us at ease at once. His expertise, knowledge and professionalism were exactly what we were looking for in a realtor. He was both very helpful and very patient when we were indecisive. His advice, compassion and availability made the process go as smoothly for me as possible. He was very approachable all along the way- be it answering our questions over the phone or responding to our queries over the email in a prompt fashion. He always gave us sound and reasonable advice, and we always appreciated his counsel. His involvement didn't end when we found the house we liked. He helped with other facets including the contract, home inspection, the house bid as well as finding us our contractor and helping with ideas about renovating our place. He truly goes above and beyond. We felt so at peace about the whole thing, mainly because of having him as our realtor. We felt we couldn't go wrong because of his steadfastness and wise counsel. This review would not be complete without mentioning his team members, specially, Maggie and Amy who kept the whole process flow smoothly - from arranging the visits to making sure we were on track to close on the specified date after we had found our condo. Thanks guys! If we have occasion to recommend a real estate agent to anyone in Chicago, Matt and his team would be our first choice as they have been a delight to work with.

ajay patel

Matt and his team were great to work with. Matt is a straight shooter, which was very refreshing during the negotiation process. Condo sold in record time and a lot of that was due to the promotion effort they do behind the scenes. I would highly recommend Matt and his team. Level of service provided was very high as I just had to hand over the keys and they took care of the rest.

Linh Luu

Matt Laricy and his team did a fantastic job on selling my condo. They were able to get lots of responses and showings on my condo. Matt did an awesome job on negotiation and came close to the asking price. He was very professional and thorough with the entire real estate process. I highly recommend him to anyone.

G

I am so thankful I was introduced to Matt Laricy. I am a first time homeowner so this whole process was very new and scary for me. Additionally, I travel for work every week. I was very stressed about whether or not i would have the time or be able to find a first home. However, Matt saved the day!! Matt responded to all of my inquiries within a few hours. Despite my hectic schedule he always found time to take me to showings. He stayed by my side through the entire process. Matt is truly a trusted adviser. I think I am the happiest first time homeowner in Chicago right now!

Abigail Doyle

I was new to the Chicago area, and a property virgin, so naturally I had quite a few questions regarding the home buying process. I was referred to Matt Laricy through my lender. He was prompt in responding, and went out of his way to meet me during my busy work schedule. He has excellent knowledge of the Chicago properties, and took the time to answer my questions. His associates are also polite and worked diligently to get me in to see the properties I was interested in. I never had a problem getting in touch with either Matt or his staff. Thanks to Matt and his group, my first home buying experience was a success! I would highly recommend Matt Laricy without reservation.

Zachary Freed

Matt and his team (including Jamie) were fantastic throughout the whole process. Matt has great knowledge of the market and helped us get more for our condo than we expected when we started the process. When any hiccups presented themselves Matt and his team jumped on them and got quick resolutions for us, which made for a great experience and an easy, timely closing.

Emily Kuechenmeister

We know there are so many different teams you could work with and are so glad we ended up with Matt and The Laricy Group. The entire team was amazing, resourceful and kept it real which is just what we needed as first time home buyers. They made the process fun and exciting and gave us the support we needed from start to finish. Matt listened diligently to our priorities and helped answer all of our questions so we felt confident in our decisions throughout. Thanks Matt and The Laricy Group!

Julie Robinson

Matt and his team are awesome! From the first time we met, I knew he would work hard in finding me my dream condo. He has so many contacts in Chicago and will work endlessly to get you into a location you want to see. I would recommend Matt or his associates to anyone looking to find their place in Chicago!

Yuval Rooz

I just closed on my second apartment in Chicago with Matt’s assistance, and I had to write a review of Matt and - just as importantly - his team (Jamie Price & Mickey Hobson). These days, great service is something that cannot be taken for granted and when you work with Matt, you can be rest assured that SERVICE is what you're going to get. It starts with Matt's knowledge of the Chicago area and his knowledge of everything about the process of buying/ selling real estate in Chicago. He knows how to negotiate the right price, who can help provide services to close quickly and efficiently, and anything else that might make your life easier. Then the closing process is meticulously managed by Jamie which allows you to go on with your normal life throughout what would otherwise be a pretty stressful process. Matt, thank you and your team for everything. I'm definitely going to use your services again next time.

Courtney Epps

Matt did an outstanding job for me when I was buying my second condo and I will definitely engage him for every future transaction. He responded to all questions/concerns/follow-ups nearly instantaneously (I don’t know when he sleeps!). Matt’s advice and guidance was stellar (he’s a no-nonsense kind of guy). His unique knowledge about the area and condo buildings definitely helped me ensure I was making the right decision. Matt handled a very difficult seller with exceptional professionalism. Matt even stayed with me when I walked away from my dream condo at one point because of an issue I was not willing to accept without negotiation (which the seller was not originally willing to discuss). Thanks to Matt, we closed the deal on my dream condo with a reasonable compromise.

Johnny

There aren't enough great things to say about Matt Laricy and the team. Matt, Jamie, Mickey and the whole team were fast, efficient, and very professional in selling my condo. Matt is a straight-shooter, you will receive valuable insight in selling your home, it's truly a partnership and he will sell you home at a price point that's fair and will move FAST! Unparalleled use of technology gives your place an edge above the competition. Jamie is the backbone of the whole operation and quarterbacks the entire process. She keeps you updated as steps get completed so you are never in the dark. With a reasonable commission, it's a no-brainer partnering with The Matt Laricy Group!

Parag Dadhaniya

Matt is the best. He was with us every step of the way and explained everything in full detail. From the beginning of our search through closing, Matt had us ready and fully informed about what to expect. He was able to get us into every unit we wanted to see quickly and provided valuable insight at each location. Once we found the home we loved, Matt was extremely valuable during the negotiation, inspection, and closing. We will definitely be recommending Matt to everyone we know!

Camille DeSalvo

Listed our River North condo March 6th and closed May 15th in the middle of a pandemic – this is really all you need to know regarding the expertise of The Matt Laricy Group. Matt Laricy, along with assistant Jamie Price, and all who had a hand in this transaction were professional, organized, responsive and resourceful every step of the way. From developing our eye-catching listing using the best photography and video personnel, tracking and reporting interest activity, to completing the many tasks necessary among a multitude of parties once securing our buyer, The Matt Laricy Group’s practices and attention to detail were exceptional. Having received three good offers overall, this sale had just the right amount of positive tension and Matt led us through skillfully. Writing a review comes easily when it is well-deserved and so without hesitation, we highly recommend The Matt Laricy Group for all your real estate needs. This Group will never disappoint.

Yan Grinblat

Matt sold our place in 8 days at the height of the COVID pandemic for more than we were expecting. He also helped us navigate a tricky market with limited inventory to find and buy a new home, while providing helpful advice (and helping us dodge home-buying issues that we would have missed without his guidance). His team was incredibly helpful as well, and always quick to respond to our questions and requests.

Rocky Ephraim

As an out-of-state seller I reached out to Matt when searching for a new realtor after having multiple price adjustments and lack luster responses from buyers. Matt and his team demonstrated an impeccable level of professionalism when pricing and marketing my condo. His can do attitude and deep contacts in the industry got my condo painted, prepped and staged in one week. That weekend I got a full ask offer at the open house!

Jessica Lilovich

There are truly not enough positive words to describe my experience with Matt Laricy. He made such a stressful process simple and exciting for us being first time buyers! Matt has so much knowledge on the market and gives wonderful advice. He is timely, efficient, and could not be more helpful! He is the best of the best!

Greg Dekker

Impressive service, excellent knowledge, and a fun experience. Matt was outstanding. He quickly learned (and kept learning) about us and used his incredible local insight to help us find an ideal home in Chicago. In our case, we ultimately needed to purchase and negotiate from a family trust. This added time and complication, but Matt (and his terrific team) stayed right on it and made a big difference for us.

Jonathan Ofori-Amoah

We've worked with Matt Laricy and his team as Buyers, Landlords, and Sellers, and in every way they've been world class. Matt, Mickey, and Jamie have always been professional and responsive in every communication. Most recently they helped us sell our condo quickly and efficiently at asking price, much faster than several comps sittin on the market, and did so despite COVID. We can't thank them enough for all the great work over the years, and we hope to work with them again in the future.

Alfredo J. Dieck-Assam

- I had a great experience with Matt Laricy during my first time in buying a home. Since the first day him and their team introduced themselves, I noticed that they knew what they were doing, and they do it great. The process of walking properties goes smoothly, they answer all the questions that you have and provide great feedback on each of the properties that you walk as if they were theirs. They know all about the properties you walk and this is very helpful. During closing, the process went very smooth as well, they were always there when needed and whenever you have questions, they answer right away, even outside of business hours. They are awesome. They actually also improved the closing date substantially per my request, and everything was done on a timely basis. I would definitely recommend The Matt Laricy Group.

Duncan Seif

When my wife and I were ready to purchase our first home here in Chicago, we didn’t have much of a network to ask about finding a relator since we were new to the city. Instead we did our homework online, and found Matt via his website, and the incredible amount of positive reviews on Redfin, Zillow, Yelp, Google, Facebook etc. Since our relator would quite literally be representing us, it was essential that we work with an experienced professional, and that is exactly what we found in Matt and all the staff at the Matt Laricy Group. We honestly could not have been happier with our decision, and we will look to Matt when buying or selling in the future. Matt is an uber professional, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. Perhaps most striking about him is how responsive he is to calls and emails. In our neighborhood, houses sell within 24 hours of being listed, so having someone so accessible and “on it” was very reassuring. Secondly, Matt is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the Chicago market, and guided us through not just finding the right home, but also navigating the tedious portions of the buying process like the inspection, financing, titling, etc. We can’t say enough about how polished and professional Matt is. He always had a suit and tie on, was punctual, and was always prepared for our phone conversations and in-person meetings. I took these qualities for granted until our final walk through when the seller’s relator showed up late wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts, without keys to the unit, and a bunch of excuses for making us wait while he ran back to office for the correct keys. We were nearly late to closing because of that, and I remember talking to my wife on the drive over about how happy we were to have someone like Matt on our side. The bottom line is, if you are looking for a hard-working, professional, and experienced relator, you simply can’t do better than Matt. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago, and we look forward to working with him again in the future. Duncan and Sneha

David Kenney

Matt was very easy to work with. He's always professional, returns calls/emails promptly, shows up on time, and if he can't personally make it to something, he makes sure someone else from his team is there to meet you. Most importantly, matt had great insight into market pricing, and his solution or suggestions to any pricing wasn't simply "spend more" as some realtors will tell you to do, just so they can get the commission. After working with Matt, you can tell he does things the right way, because he wants you to trust him and he wants to work with you in the future. After using Matt as our buying agent, we're definitely going to use him again in the future, when the time is right.

Holly Tu

Matt is wonderful. We came from out of state and he helped us find a condo in River North. We moved in 2 weeks ago and are loving it so far. The whole process took about 3 months. What I particularly liked about Matt is that he had good connections with other realtors and he is dynamic in terms of getting us appointments on short notice (although it's better to plan ahead!). We saw about 30-40 different condos. He is also very knowledgeable and honest about which buildings/areas are better than others. He's not pushy and is very responsive. Genuine good guy.

Neal Desai

My experience with the Laricy group, from top to bottom, was nothing short of exceptional. Matt's knowledge of the Chicago area coupled with his connections and tenacity to get me exactly what I wanted is basically the reason why I'm living in my dream condo at this very moment. Even his team was incredible. His assistant Jamie was available to help me with basically any and every questions or concern I had throughout the buying process. She was integral in making the buying process go smoother than I could have ever expected and took a huge load off my plate. I can't stress enough how much I would recommend Matt and his team. I tried a few other brokers prior to talking to Matt and they all paled in comparison.

Kaleb H

Matt and his team were phenomenal in guiding us through the purchase of our townhouse in Chicago. I would recommend the Matt Laricy Group to anyone buying or selling property in the city. Matt and team helped us find the perfect place, and did everything they could to ensure the entire purchase process was as smooth as possible.

Danielle McNamara

We initially worked with Matt several years ago when we were first buying in Chicago and had a fantastic experience. This time we looked to Matt to help sell our home and he did it in record time-- we had multiple offers within days and ultimately sold well above asking price. We highly recommend The Matt Laricy Group and only wish they could assist us in buying a home out of state.

Steven Uhrich

Matt and his team are great. From our first meeting with Matt, we benefited from his expansive knowledge, insight, experience, and willingness to be frank. He told us what we needed to hear, even if it wasn't what we wanted to hear, and that was so valuable to us during the home-buying process. As with any complex process involving multiple parties, there were the usual delays, but none of them were occasioned by Matt and his team. In fact they helped to speed the process along. They were always on top of any bumps and kept us constantly updated on progress and deadlines with lightning-fast replies. It's obvious the team is willing to help each other out beyond their specific work, and you get the sense they all love what they do. Beyond that, they're so organized it's almost hard to believe they have other clients. In short: we had a fantastic experience with Matt and his team, and will be using them to sell our place. Highly recommended!

Brandon Stith

Matt and his team were fantastic from beginning to end. They were extremely organized in their approach to the entire process. I'm a details kinda guy and this group won't let you down. Matt is very knowledgeable on market trends. He's a very straight forward guy, doesn't beat around the bush. You can rely on him to provide you honest feedback at each step of the process. I highly recommend Matt and his team!

Linus D'Souza

I highly recommend Matt and his team to help you find a home! The following are reasons: 1) Matt's in your corner from the first moment you sit down together 2) He's patient with you, and not pushy. This is a huge plus. Took my wife and I, 10 months of passively searching for the right home 3) He is brutally honest, which is very refreshing. He has a knack of bringing to light any negatives that you have in the back of your mind about a property, but are unable to voice out for whatever reason. 4) Matt and his team are very timely with their responses, efficient, and extremely professional. Matt helped us find our dream place, and vouched for us throughout a 4 party bidding process - call him to find out how we won despite not being the highest bidder! Would work with Matt and his team in a heartbeat, should I ever be in the market again.

Keili Ito

I have worked with Matt twice, as a buyer and a seller. Both times it was super easy to work with him. He is extremely responsive which we love about him, also very professional and knowledgeable. With his marketing skills, we got few dozens of people at first open house and received multiple offers right away. Would recommend to anyone!!

Ben Boncosky

I am a repeat client and would not consider using anyone but Matt in Chicago. I believe the multi-pronged marketing package he offers to sellers and the local expertise he brings to the table are truly best in class. Matt and his team are highly disciplined, systematic, and will outwork anyone. I have referred many of my closest friends to Matt and will continue doing so with total confidence.

Kayla Polcari

Matt Laricy and his group were fantastic to work with. Matt was very responsive, gave great advice, and had a lot of expertise regarding different buildings in the area. He has also built a strong network to make each step of the process quick and easy. A HUGE thank you to the Matt Laricy Group for your help and guidance!

Breanna Schertzing

Nothing but great things to say about Matt and his team! He is a true professional and was just as responsive as he promised he would be throughout the entire process. My husband happened to catch one of the showings where one of Matts team members was showing the place; he showed up in a suit and tie (just as Matt had said he would) looking ten times more professional than the other agent who showed up in cargo shorts. We were incredibly impressed with the team and will continue to recommend them to all of our friends.

James Soo

We're first time buyers and had a great experience with Matt. He laid out the the whole process for us and he and his admin team were always very responsive to any of our questions. With his help and knowledge we quickly chose a place that we're very happy with. We'd heard some horror stories from friends, but for us the whole process was painless!

Maggie Rigamer

I had a great experience with Matt and everyone in his office. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things related to buying a home and the market in Chicago. He really acts as an advisor, rather than a salesperson. He walked me through every step in the buying process and it could not have been easier.

Alex Langlois

I would like to thank Matt and his team for all their proficiency and hard work in the selling of our condo. They were quick to respond to all the details and made the process effortless at our end by following up immediately on every detail of the sale and walking us through it all. Their easy manner and frequent contact with us made it very personal and best of all our unit sold within four days and at above lthe listing price. Thank you Matt and your team of skilled associates. We will definitely remember you next time we need help with the purchase of a property. Liz H

Charles Goldblum

I contacted a few realtors in the Chicago area for the purchase of an investment property. Matt responded quickly and immediately helped educate me about the Chicago real estate investment market. After a handful of trips to Chicago from the Washington DC area, I found and placed an offer on a one bedroom condominium that met our investment criteria. Matt and his team walked us through the deal, suggested a local attorney, which is apparently needed in the City of Chicago real property transactions, and suggested a mortgage company. I made a small, but annoying, mistake working with a national mortgage broker, which cost me some frustration. I wished I followed Matt's initial suggestion. I am using Matt's team to rent this property and I will absolutely use Matt and his team again for future Chicago real estate transactions.

Yuvraj Duggal

Loved working with Matt. Him & his team were so easy to work with and they helped close the deal effortlessly at an unbelievable price. This is the second closing in the past couple years in my family where we have used Matt and we can't wait for the many more to come!

Karen Groszek

If only there were more stars! As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous and had no idea what I was doing. Matt gave great advice and answered all of my questions that made me feel confident throughout this process. Matt and his team made the whole process so smooth; I couldn't ask for more. I knew what was going on every step of the way and they also made sure that I knew what to expect with things coming up which really helped. Overall, Matt deserves only the highest recommendation! I will definitely work with him on my next real estate endeavor.

Eric Leonard

Matt and his team were helped me through my first home-purchase. They were great every step of the way - from shopping for a place all the way through close. Their recommendations were helpful and made the process straightforward and easy. I'm thankful I went with Matt and will look forward to working with him again in the future.

Saransh Chhibber

This was our first time buying a house and Matt was there to answer any question. Even if I emailed him late at night or early morning, I got a response within an hour. His entire team was on top of things, regularly providing updates and making sure all parties involved were updated as to what was happening. Matt gave blunt opinions about places we were not sure of, never rushed us and was always there to answer any question. Matt, Mickey and Amy were super quick in scheduling a showing of a place. As we finalized a place and were getting ready for the close, Amy made sure everything is communicated to us in a timely fashion and was very well organized. I highly recommend Matt, he knows the Chicago market in and out!

John Busch

Matt and his team at the Matt Laricy Group were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Top marks across the board. As a first time home buyer I was confident that I had the right team on my side to help me through the process, address all my concerns, and get me the best deal possible. I wouldn't recommend anyone else in Chicago.

Sarah Wrenn

The Matt Laricy Group is a team filled with detail-oriented professionals. Matt, Joe, and Jamie were amazing to work with. Matt and his staff answered all of our questions, worked well with the lawyers and seller's realtor to make this process go really smoothly. We were even able to close a week early! Jamie is incredibly organized and an excellent communicator. We always knew where we needed to be and what we were seeing. If the schedule shifted, we knew. If we weren’t able to see a unit, we knew. There were never any surprises. When an emergency arose and we were unable to attend our appointments, she shifted them all to the following day on short notice. She even made it seem like it was no big deal and easy to do. Matt went above and beyond in every aspect of this process. He walked us through lots of condos so that we could get a sense for different options to help us set priorities for what was really important for us. He would let us form our own opinions, but was willing to share his perspective too. He reads a ton about new developments and keeps up to date on everything going on in the city. He is very knowledgeable about the city and changes that might be happening. He kept an ear open for units that might be coming on the market and reached out to his colleagues to see if anything meeting our needs was going to become available. I really can't say enough about how great it was to work with Matt. He made us feel like we were his top priority every time we talked or met. Finally, he's just a really nice guy who was genuinely interested in finding us a home. John and I can’t recommend Matt and the Matt Laricy group enough!

Joanna Litchfield

My fiancé and I agree that the service we received from Matt Laricy and his group was exceptional. He represented us on a purchase and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy. The market in Chicago is super hot right now, and I previously underestimated the importance of a diligent buyer’s agent when trying to buy in a seller’s market. He and his team were well aware of the competition that buyers are up against, and aggressively jumped on any property we were interested in. When we finally found the right one, his aggressive strategy proved effective and we were the winning bidders. I truly believe we would have lost out on this property if we had used a realtor with a more passive approach. A+.

Jot Grewal

Matt, John Paul, and team were super helpful throughout the process of buying a home for the first time. Highly recommend working with them as they are incredibly knowledgeable on the real estate market and will answer any and all questions you may have.

Emily Bowen

Matt and Mickey and their entire team are excellent! They were very thorough in answering questions and making sure we were informed on the home-buying experience in IL/Chicago. They genuinely care about making sure you have an excellent experience start to finish and delivered. The communication and attention to detail couldn't have been better. They are knowledgeable, kind, and professional. I would highly recommend them if you are considering buying or selling!

Kristen Hagan

Matt & his team were great to work with! They sold our place quickly and made the process easy on us. I’d highly recommend working with them!

James Mestdagh

Matt helped us get into the home we wanted in an incredibly hot sellers market. The entire process was seamless from end to end. His team was always on standby and we never had to wait for a response. This is the second time around partnering with Matt and the Laricy group, and they will be the only ones we call when we get to the third time.

Sean Higgins

Matt and his team (Mickey, Jamie, Callen) are fantastic. He gives you straight forward feedback and advice. The level of trust and experience made me comfortable throughout the entire process. Look forward to working with them again at some point.

Sam Tuttleman

Being my first home purchase, I was overwhelmed with the process. Matt, however, made the process simple, streamlined, and enjoyable. His team works together seamlessly to provide the best service for his clients. With his years of experience, he was able to point out aspects of properties that I would never have thought of. He knew the difference between every material within a property—whether it was “cheap” or “high end.” He knew the planned developments around the properties (e.g., whether a building would block the view, whether developments around the area will likely raise the value, etc.), the history of the areas, and the potential of the properties. What stood out the most is that Matt cared more about finding the best place for me than the most expensive place, even though he was paid based off the purchase price (as is every agent). For example, he actually ended up convincing me that purchasing at the lower end of my price range, instead of the top, was a smarter idea since I would likely move within the next 5-7 years. While he would point out the positives of each place, he would also point out all the negatives. Additionally, as new to the city, he was able to provide me with excellent movers, painters, contractors, and everything you could think of—making it a truly one-stop-shop. Even after closing, he has maintained contact to make sure everything is alright and to answer any questions I may have. In conclusion, I do not think there is a better agent in the city of Chicago. I know he will always be my one and only recommendation to all of my friends, and I will use him in my future sales and purchases.

Judy King

Do not have one negative thing to say about my experience with Matt & his top-notch team. He made me feel like I was his only client (believe me, that is far from true!) and was able to win me my dream home in a bidding war! He was patient in answering all questions, and provided excellent guidance all along the way.

Chris Lim

Matt Laricy and his group should be the first and last people you consider when selling or buying your home. We had Matt sell our condo for us. We were pretty nervous about the market because the exact same unit as ours, 2 floors above, had been sitting on the market for 5 months, when it came time to list ours. Matt recommended that we list for a nearly the same price as the unit above us. I was skeptical that it would sell quickly at this price, and I definitely did not want it to sit on the market for months. However, he reassured me by explaining all his marketing strategies he employed. I interviewed several agents, and he was the most organized, prepared, professional, hard working out of them all. He and his team definitely are workaholics! They have a strict policy of never missing or cancelling a showing. He makes himself available any time, day or night. Long story short, we listed on a Monday and accepted an offer above our ask price on Thursday of that same week. Amazing! He was there for me throughout the rest of the process, making it so smooth and headache free. He is easily reachable and will quickly return any messages if he does not pick up right away. His rates are very competitive and were cheaper than all the other agents I interviewed. In my opinion, going with any other agent would be a huge mistake. He is at the top of this industry in Chicago. I give my highest recommendation and have been 100% satisfied with him and his team. You will not regret choosing Matt!

Umashankar Bala

Matt and his team made buying a home like buying groceries. The only stress we went through was choosing which condo to buy. Matt took time to understand exactly what we wanted and immediately set out to work. After the first couple of viewings, we realized Matt was as choosy as us if not more. This gave us the confidence that he will find us the perfect home. Also, he uses technology like it should be. He uses GoogleDocs to organize listings in the order you will view them and DocuSign to take care of any paper work. This greatly reduces time and confusion. My girlfriend and I initially had 7 different areas to search in. He initially showed us condos is all these areas always warning that we should focus on just a couple. But after losing the opportunity on a couple of properties we liked, we realized he was right and narrowed down our search. His knowledge of the different buildings in the city is stunning and helped us eliminate a lot of them without having to look and waste time. He definitely made sure we were making the right decision. He had our back when we had to walk away from a condo due to certain issues I was not willing to deal with as a first time home buyer. While vacationing in France, he found time to call me a few times and discuss a couple of properties and coordinated with his team (Joe and Catherine) to help us win the bid on the condo we ultimately bought. Commitment, honesty, single-mindedness hard work are all his qualities and there is lots to learn from him. I would absolutely work with Matt and his team again.

Andrew Dulmage

My husband and I are first time home buyers moving to the Chicago area from out-of-state. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Matt. He was extremely easy to communicate with leading up to our first trip out to Chicago and made it easy for us to narrow down our options to a reasonable list of places to see in the limited time we had available. On the days we looked at units, he pointed out features we might have otherwise missed including items that may have hidden costs. When we found our dream place, our offer was one of four on the table. Thanks to Matt's insight and connections, our offer was chosen. Throughout the closing process, he was immensely helpful with negotiations and planning for a closing date with our difficult travel schedules. When we had questions or concerns, he returned texts or phone calls within a matter of hours. I know when we have another real estate transaction in Chicago, we will absolutely connect with him again.

Kiana Lee

Highly recommend Matt and his team as they are extremely knowledgable about the market and extremely responsive to email at all times of the day. Was a pleasure working with them on buying my first condo!

Ellie Ahmadi

I was looking for a home Chicago for about one year and was about to give up and about 2 weeks after a friend of mine referred Matt and I started searching with him I found the place I liked and he did an awesome job evaluating the market and preparing the offer. Jaime from his team was very responsive and helped me out through the entire process. They’re literally unique in Chicago land.

Matt Matosian

As first-time home buyers, Matt and his team were extremely helpful throughout the entire process - from initial showings all the way through close. We can't recommend them enough for your home buying needs.

Alyssa Bazzanella

It was so helpful to work with Matt and the rest of his agents throughout my first home buying experience. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago market and guided me through the entire process, while being transparent and reliable. Highly recommend!

Paige Green

We bought and sold our homes at the same time, and Matt and his team made the process quick and easy! They were organized, communicative, efficient, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Tom Smurr

This is my second time working with the laricy group and every time so far it has been sooooo easy. Always available, quick to act, and smart with his relationships. I'm still stunned how we found exactly what we wanted so quickly with his team. If you want top of the line service with quick, assertive action, look no further.

Daniel DeLong

Matt was built to be a realtor in Chicago. In a few months, he helped me find an beautiful, well-located property in the West Loop. He's responsive, detailed, and direct. When I am ready to move, I will work with him again without hesitation.

Pam Steube

Matt took our property and acted like it was his. He told us to stage it, paint and he’d get it sold. And he did! He and his team communicate every step of the way. Everyone he surrounds himself with are very professional. He expects results and he gets it.

Mark Netzly

Excellent group to work with. Couldn't ask for a better team of good quality people. We asked questions at all hours of the day and all 7 days of the week and got answers quickly no matter the time or day. The pictures to market our unit were fantastic and really captured how great a unit we were selling. While looking for a new place, they gave us honest feedback on units that we visited which was greatly appreciated. I would use the Matt Laricy group 100x out of 100.

Amanda Seibert

Best realtor I've worked with. Matt personally responded within minutes of requesting information on his website. He met with me the next day and spent an hour going over his experience, recommendations for my property, and strategies him and his team would use to help the property sell. He presented detailed research on the area and current market, giving an educated recommendation on asking price. Within three days of the property being on market, I had an offer. By the end of the week we had a contract. His team continued to consistently communicate with me, keeping me posted on where we were at in the closing process. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for a honest, professional realtor that will make you feel like you are his only client, this is your guy.

Brandon Sanders

Matt impressed us with his knowledge of realty strategy and the Chicago market. His team has a process to take you from viewings to closing near effortlessly. Everyone involved in available whenever you need them making you feel in control the entire time. I would highly recommend Matt.

Brendan Miller

Matt, Mickey, and Jamie were great to work with. As a first time buyer they made the process very smooth by proactively communicating and managing the process. They were very easy to work with and were very kind. Highly recommend.

Mohamed Elnawawy

Great team, very diligent very supportive and extremely well informed. Responsiveness is perfect. Recommendations (inspection, legal) were also perfect. Kept choices open till the last moment to make sure of the strength of our position as buyers.

James Hwong

Matt was attentive, knowledgeable, and readily available. He seems to respond to emails immediately at all hours of the day. Our sale was quick and painless. He used all tools at his disposable and kept us up to date regarding his efforts. He could benefit from being more punctual in person, and also at holding out for better offers. Ultimately we were happy with his service.

Esam Jumani

Matt was a great help for me and my wife in the search for our first home in Chicago! He listened to everything we wanted and only showed us properties we would potentially be interested in. From start to end through the closing, Matt and his team were just a phone call away and able to help coordinate and guide us the whole way, very impressed with their professionalism through out

Kandace Yee

Mickey made the experience fantastic while making the purchase run smoothly and timely. He was prompt, professional, reliable, and understood the Chicago market, which was ideal for me as a first time buyer. I had a ton of questions and he made a stressful situation easy. He made me feel like a priority and was able to show rentals and purchases within a short amount of time. I would definitely trust and recommend Mickey to friends and family and use him for my own future personal sales/purchases.

ANNE FORDE

Matt and his team were great to work with. We loved their communication, attention to detail, and use of technology. It was a pleasure working with his team and we will be highly recommending them to anyone who needs an agent.

Jason Steele

Matt and his team are the best. They honestly look out for your best interest which is hard to find in this space. Matt's knowledge of neighborhoods and each building in the city is unreal. I've been working with him for a few years and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Daniel Mrozek

From the start of our housing search all the way to the end, we were treated with nothing less than excellence. Matt is a knowledgeable agent and quickly understood exactly what we were looking for in our first ever condo purchase. He lent us a helping hand in regards to what we should look for and what we should steer clear of. 10/10 would use again

Evelyn Cai

Matt and his team are amazing. They worked around the clock to make sure every one of my questions was answered. Super knowledgeable and made buying a condo a breeze. Thanks so much and couldn't recommend more!!

Deborah Kozlowski

Hands down, Matt and his team are the best realtors in Chicago. After shopping around with 4 other options I choose Matt. He is very clear with what to expect and worked hard to help me not only find a place, but work through the issues that came up to make sure we closed on time.

Honore Raz

We just closed on our first home; a condo in Ravenswood. We could not have been happier with Matt and his team. They have always been helpful, accessible, and ready to answer questions every step of the way (even post close)! Highly recommend him and his team to others shopping in Chicago.

Caio Santos

Buying a house with Mickey Hobson was an extremely enjoyable experience. I had a short timeline and he managed to accommodate his schedule showing me impressive locations in 2-3 days of showings. Always prompt on answering any questions I had, extremely professional and a tough negotiator, you could see he was committed in getting you the right and best deal. From the first 2-3 showings he knew exactly what me and my wife wanted so he was laser focused in getting us the right place. He also helped out in getting inspectors and some contacts to do quick little repairs in the unit since I was new to town. This was my first experience buying a house in the US and quite a remarkable one.

Marc Pierce

Matt and his group are very professional and on top of the game when it comes to real-estate in the Chicago area. We appreciate how well they handled every situation that came up. We will most certainly use Matt Laricy Group again and highly recommend them for your next sell and/or purchase.

Sharon Gabor

A well-deserved 5 Stars! We worked with Matt Laricy, Matt Piegza and the Laricy Team for over two years, from just window shopping to finally settling on a great property, and enjoyed a very personalized process from start to finish. Their depth of knowledge and expertise of the Chicago market, professionalism and communication are exemplary. This was our fifth real estate purchase, the first in the city of Chicago and the first with Laricy Group. We can honestly say, it was the best experience we have ever had.

Connor Harmon

Could not have had a better experience with Matt and his team. They made the homebuying process easy, straightforward, smooth, and stress free. I could not recommend them enough.

Meghan Possley

I would highly, highly recommend working with Matt Laricy to buy or sell your home! He recently helped me find my dream condo in the city and the process was so seamless. Matt Laricy and his team's organization, communication, timeliness, and knowledge of the industry made this process so much less stressful.

Cullen Wells

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Matt Laricy as our our realtor when we sold our rental property in Chicago. The entire experience was top notch, from the cutting edge 360 degree photos which allowed prospective buyers to navigate through the property to get a good feel of it, to the quick responsiveness and great negotiating skills to get us the sale price we wanted. I would definitely recommend Matt Laricy for anyone seeking a great realtor.

Jennifer Jones

Having been through this process several times, why did it take so long to find the Matt Laricy Team? The professionalism, sense of urgency and knowledge of the real estate market is unmatched. Every opportunity I have to refer this team to a friend or acquaintance, I will!! Thank you for selling my place so quickly and effortlessly. Sincerely, Jennifer

Tau Ma

I just want to say that Tyler was very instrumental in helping me buying my first condo in the city - the whole process was a very smooth, no-stress transition. He was also very helpful in providing all the addition requirements/ restrictions of the buying process due to the on-going pandemic. I also want to note that - despite Tyler radiating professionalism from first sight - he was able to relay all information/ data about the buying process in a straightforward but candid way. It was almost like the two of us are sitting down at a coffee place chatting. This was especially refreshing to me. All in all - I could not ask for a better buyer's agent than Tyler - he made a process that could potentially turn into a nightmare a breeze.

Saba Malek

Matt and his team worked so efficiently to help us sell our rental property. They made everything simple and transparent from the beginning. From awesome photos and videos of the property to their use of social media to promote the property, we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for getting our property sold so quickly!

Julie Schadeck

We met Jaime during a home visit and were drawn to him immediately. He was thoughtful and curious about what type of place we were looking for, and we decided to work with him as we continued our apartment search. Throughout our process of searching for, bidding on, and buying our new home, Jaime was helpful, respectful, and incredibly resourceful. When we needed the prior owner's billiards table removed, Jaime had a guy. When we needed repairs done, Jaime had a contact he trusted. He guided us through a tricky process of bidding on a place that already had multiple offers, and he had a great sense of how to navigate a pressurized situation with a tight timeline. Bottom line: Jaime Luevano is a sincerely nice person with a talent for navigating the many ins and outs of buying and selling property. He always had our back and went above and beyond. We look forward to working with him again.

Eddie Ng

I'm a returning client. Matt has grown his operation significantly over the years. Matt is always responsive and insightful. I rely on his professional view points for many of my real estate decision.

Taylor Swisher

Matt and his team are excellent to work with! They helped us buy our first home and were very patient. They are so knowledgable and responsive. I will definitely work with them in the future and would recommend them to anyone!

Tim Ward

Matt and his team made the whole process very simple. Beyond finding us our perfect home, he was able to make great referrals along the way. Couldn't see ourselves working with anyone else.

Wayland Ng

Thank you Matt and your team for everything! You made the entire experience of selling a home something I will never forget. Thank you for selling our home in this challenging market. We will definitely reach out for any real estate needs in the future!

Tiffany Caroselli

Mickey is FANTASTIC! I could not have had a better experience working with him. Above everything else, he was honest and genuinely cared that I get a place that was a good fit for me (even if it was a less expensive place which likely meant less profit for him). His market analysis reports were thorough and well thought out, he was incredibly timely with all communication (no matter what time I emailed him, he always responded practically right away!), and his insights were valuable in helping me find my first home. He thought to ask questions I never would have. Overall, Mickey made a process that was seemingly very scary very easy, and I can't thank him enough for that. I will definitely use Mickey on all future real estate transactions and look forward to working with him again!

Jill Larson

We appreciated Matt's hard work and dedication to his passion. His team was incredibly helpful and always accessible. We were incredibly happy with the overall experience and our new home!

dimant patel

Amazing team. Our first home and the process start to finish was extremely well handled with excellent professionalism.

Dan Lemieux

Matt and his team made everything a seamless process. Photos and virtual tour looked great and had an accepted offer in less than a week on market. Would absolutely go with them again next time we're looking to buy or sell.

Vera LaRochelle

Matt and his team did an incredible job. They were super organized and responsive, and made the whole process a breeze. My condo sold above asking in just a couple of days. I could not be happier!

Matt and his team facilitated a smooth sale and closing for me remotely, of a property that was tough to sell. I would recommend him and his team for their expertise and effectiveness. In addition, they are all super responsive, which I appreciated.

We had an amazing experience with Matt. He is incredibly organized and easy to work with, extreamly strait forward with his opinions, and was a shrewd negotiator on our behalf. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

The whole process from start to finish was incredibly efficient and well managed. I live more than hour away from the home I was selling and Matt & Jamie took care of every detail for me. Sold in two days at full price! Can't ask for more than that. Highly recommended!

Before the pandemic, I was working with John Paul to purchase an investment property somewhere in downtown Chicago. I currently live and work in the suburbs and don’t know much about the Chicago area. John Paul was professional and very knowledgeable. Because of his experience, he was able to teach me about the rental markets in the city and pointed me to the best areas that would be most beneficial for my investment. Unfortunately, the pandemic caused my fiancé and I to pull back, but we look forward to working with John Paul when the city starts rolling again.

Hanna Gargour

This is the second time I purchase property through Matt Laricy and Americorp. He is quick to respond to your concerns and is knowledgeable about the business and real estate in Chicago. He also has a great team. The force is indeed strong with Matt Laricy and Americorp.

Mickey was very timely and quick to respond with showing setups. He was instrumental in keeping the closing process moving. He was able to meet at almost any time.

Mickey was great in guiding me through my first time home buyer process. Communication throughout the purchase was consistent and prompt. Will definitely hit him up again for future real estate engagements.

We worked with Mickey for about 5 months. Initially, we were looking in the city but then needed to look an hour out in the suburbs. The whole time Mickey was responsive around the clock and always willing to do what ever was needed to ensure our needs were met. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. He is courteous, professional, and will always have your best interest in mind.

Lainey Johnson

I am very appreciative to the MLG for getting my sale done during a very difficult time (Covid). MLG is a well oiled machine and I felt supported every step of the way. I also very much want to thank Jaime and Jamie for their support as well. They both went out of their way to help me with items well outside the scope of the deal. Thank you!

As a first-time homebuyer, Mickey was extremely helpful in walking me through each step in the process.

Thank you Mickey!

Sydney Loomans

Highly recommend using the Laricy team! EDIT: A recent interaction with this team made me realize how my initial review doesn’t scratch the surface as to why the Laricy team is truly the best. They have been with me every step of the way, and provided the utmost value at each of those steps. I recently called for advice on something in my new place, and both Jamie and Matt took the time to listen to my concerns and provide thoughtful advice — this is 5 months after my purchase! This is just one of many reasons to work with Matt and his team. Thank you again!!
