Dear Mark,

Thank you for all you have done for us, both with the apartment and the condo. How fortunate we were to find you! We truly appreciate the time and consideration you put in to helping us find our home, but also orienting us to Chicago.

In addition to your knowledge and skill in real estate, who else could show us the first home and be right—on to our specs. We found you to be a wonderful, caring person, and also very giving...

I honestly can't say enough great things about Mark Lale. He found my perfect home, and also found my mother her perfect home. Mark is diligent, to be certain. I think he must check new listings in the middle of the night. If a new property is listed, Mark knows about it and passes the information along -- with lightning speed. He is always accessible, promptly returns calls and correspondence, and is incredibly reliable. Beyond these qualities, which I'd think would be essential to a successful career in real estate, he has a few others which make him a standout. Mark has an incredible aesthetic. He has an eye for great property, and that eye combined with his unparalleled knowledge of Chicago property gives him a great sense of what is available, and what properties are truly special or unique. He is also a lot of fun, and going around looking at property with Mark is a fun way to spend time. And he won't waste time, but he is willing to spend time and surpass expectations.

Dear Mark,

Your excellent follow through and communications are commendable based on finding exactly what we were looking for in a condominium. From the beginning to the closing you were there with answers to our questions. Your recommendations from a real estate attorney to the construction company & inspectors were excellent. I would highly recommend you to any of my friends & family members. Please have any of your prospective clients contact me for a reference.

Sincerely, Andy F. – Gold Coast

"Thanks for all of the time you spent discussing the Chicago market and specific properties... and for helping me make my decision without ever setting foot in Chicago. I really appreciate the honesty, especially when you supported and even convinced me to go with another broker's apartment! Your knowledge, professionalism and patience is unmatched!"

I can't get over you!! I am just so impressed with you. You are a rock star! So far so good on the unit. I'll let you know if I run into a snag. You're the best. Speak with you soon. Have a most successful day.

Thanks again, Mark. In the end, I found a fantastic apartment that everyone who visits wishes was theirs. I'm paying less than I budgeted for a place that is much nicer than I expected to find. Continued success finding other gems.

I’d like to thank you for the help finding the apartment / condo at Kinzie Park. Your service and knowledge of properties were exceptional, as was your follow up – especially regarding the parameters and amenities that I needed. I will recommend your services in the future to anyone looking for a place...
