Buyer
“As first-time homebuyers, we looked for a realtor that would help walk us through the process. After hearing about Maria’s attention to detail and care from a friend, we were excited to work with her. And she did not disappoint! Maria was very patient and thorough with our many questions, and she made sure we understood every step of the … process. We knew she was busy, but she always made us feel like she was giving us her full attention. Her timeliness to answer the phone or respond to our messages was unmatched. Maria’s knowledge and extensive experience helped us feel confident in our first home, and we are so excited about it!” Read More ▾

Buyer
“We have now purchased two homes with Maria’s help. She is wonderful to work with! She is patient (so very patient!) and compassionate. Understands what her buyers are looking for and has great suggestions for homes that might need updating/changing to suit your needs. She totally knows her stuff and is as classy as she is professional. She just recently found … us our forever home and we plan to work with her in the future to purchase investment properties. We also sold our home with Maria and she was great for the sale as well - I really felt that she was there for us for whatever we needed and made herself available to us as much as we required. I really felt like I was working with a trusted friend and would recommend Maria to absolutely anyone!” Read More ▾

“We knew that we wanted to find a new house, but we didn’t know where to start. Maria Fricano asked us the right questions, showed us many houses, and gave us great advice, over a year, until we found and bought our dream house. She helped us, patiently, through all of it. When it came to selling our house, Maria … was so helpful! She told us how some paint and a few repairs would help us get top dollar for our house. Maria takes an ethical approach and this made us very comfortable with the whole process. She knew how to price the house to make it sell, without leaving money on the table, even though the housing market was slowing at the time. We highly recommend Maria Fricano, without reservation, to anyone who needs help buying or selling a house.” Read More ▾

“Maria was recommended through a longtime friend of ours. We sold our home of 17 years and bought a condo which was quite a transition for us at this time in our lives. Maria handled the entire process from beginning to end perfectly. Was available anytime we needed her and was an absolute pleasure to work with. If we should … find ourselves in this position again we will absolutely contact Maria. Things couldn’t have gone more smoothly.” Read More ▾

Buyer
“As a first time buyer, it was a bit intimidating at first. From day one, I felt that Maria really cared about what was in my best interest to find the perfect home. She always had my back every step of of the way. As COVID hit, Maria was diligent to follow all protocol correctly and was mindful to be … respectful to all parties. Any questions I had got an immediate, honest, and informed response. I can’t imagine going with any other real estate agent than her. The common phrase used was “Maria is the best!” And rightfully so!” Read More ▾

“My wife and I recently moved out of downtown Chicago into the suburbs and we used Maria as our realtor. She was incredibly thorough, helpful, and patient throughout the entire process (despite the millions of questions we had!) Maria was happy to show us countless houses in many suburbs and wouldn’t let us settle for anything less than the perfect … place—which we ended up finding! We just closed on Friday couldn’t be happier, and we would recommend Maria to anyone!” Read More ▾

Seller
“From day one, Maria helped me through one of the most challenging experiences of my life. She came to my home and sat with me for an hour just explaining the entire process of selling my home. This was a new experience for me and I had no idea how to go about it. Her 24 years experience in the … real estate business have proven her to be an expert in her field. She kindly guided me every step of the way and was always available to answer any question I had throughout the process. I truly value her judgment regarding the staging and choices she recommended to show my home to its best advantage. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is a true professional!” Read More ▾
