I recently worked with Zak both on purchasing a new unit and selling my old unit. Zak was an immense help and and did an absolutely fantastic job! I could not recommend him more strongly. He was always well informed, prepared, communicative, and supportive, and ready to make valid suggestions. I feel very fortunate to have had such an excellent and skilled agent to help with what could have been very daunting projects.
As a fellow agent (in FL) my standards and expectations for an agent are very high. Zak exceeded both, as his professionalism and steady demeanor were exactly what we needed. I would definitely recommend Zak to anyone buying or selling a house.
I was a first time home buyer and Zak was such an amazing help! I learned so much throughout the process and was able to lockdown on a really nice place with a super tight time frame.
We were out of state buyers looking for a condo for our daughter. Zack reached out to us, and we were immediately impressed by his professionalism. He was very knowledgeable and responsive with all of our queries. The showings went smoothly and he helped us narrow down our choices, and represented us in the closing process. Being from out of state, we were unfamiliar with the real estate laws in Illinois but Zack walked us through every step in the process. If you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable and responsive real estate agent, Zack is the agent for you!
Zak was a fantastic resource in helping us find and buy our dream home! As first time home buyers, the process can seem very overwhelming at the start. Zak was able to simplify this early on, giving us clarity on next steps and where to focus. He was patient with our questions and quickly responsive. When it came time to submit an offer, he helped us to establish a winning offer that would still be a good investment in a competitive market. His recommendations on a mortgage broker, attorney, and property inspector were all fantastic. We couldn't be more thrilled with our new home, and Zak was crucial in making it happen!
Working with Zak was an absolutely fantastic experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient helping us first time buyers navigate this very confusing process. He was always available at any time to answer his phone and help educate us during key points of the process. Zak was incredibly professional and from start to finish, making sure we had all of the information we needed to make the best decision and keep the process moving.
It's safe to say that once you use Zak as an agent, you won't want anyone else on your team. Throughout the entire process, Zak always kept our needs/wants in mind and helped educate us during key decisions. He's professional, caring, knowledgeable, and does a great job turning your dreams into a reality. My wife and I have used Zak for three transactions now and were 110% satisfied each time. The added bonus of working with Zak was his connections to key players in the success of buying a home (mortgage brokers, real estate lawyers, title companies, etc.). Would highly recommend!
Zak and I worked together over the course of a year and a half, during which time he guided me through the sale of my first condo, followed by the long search (and ultimate purchase) of my first townhome. In this time, I got to witness just how big of a difference it can make to have someone like Zak in your corner. His depth of knowledge, professionalism, and emotional support make him an incredible advocate for his clients. First, Zak is an expert at his craft: professional, punctual, and highly communicative. Despite having to travel half-way across the city to get to my neighborhood, Zak would be there at the drop of a hat if we were able to get a showing. Not only that, but he was there on time, prepared with a wealth of information about the property. He is incredibly generous with his time, and and never hesitated to answer my many questions, no matter how basic or complex. His depth of experience shows in every interaction too–even in the most volatile of markets, he was always able to provide me with a clear picture of the possible outcomes based on previous years. Though many were unable to predict what would happen during the time that I was searching for my home, I always felt that I could trust Zak's guidance and judgement because of his experience, research and preparation. Lastly, Zak was an incredible emotional support throughout the process. As a first time home-buyer, the process was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. Yet at *every* turn, Zak was supportive and encouraging, while also helping me maintain realistic expectations. My home search was long and unpredictable, and there is no one I would have rather had by my side than Zak
Working with Zak was fantastic. He was incredibly helpful at every step and always very prompt and thoughtful in his responses. Detailing the process from start to finish and explaining what I should expect was great being a first time buyer. An example of Zak's work ethic and professionalism: the inspector got back to Zak and I via email with his report at 10pm on a Wednesday. Zak read through the report in its entirety, summarized his thoughts, and outlined his suggestions for asks during the attorney review process before 9am the following morning. He was then immediately available to discuss over a quick call after receiving the email. I will be recommending all my friends/family and clients to Zak
Zak is the very best! His listing and photos that he had taken were amazing, and our home sold for asking price and quickly! We highly recommend Zak as a real estate agent if you are buying or selling. Zak is extremely responsive and professional.
Zak is a highly knowledgeable agent and I have been very happy working with him over the years and for this latest sale. HIs professionalism is outstanding and he has provided an incredible amount of insight and guidance to me with regards to the sale of some investment units. I very much appreciate his expertise and the effort he has put in to get my unit sold in a timely manner at a great price!
I loved working with Zak! As a first-time home buyer, I had a bunch of questions and he always had answers and a calm perspective. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a Chicago realtor!
Zak is a fabulous combination of friendly, approachable, and extremely professional. As a first time homebuyer, Zak made me feel at ease, and I truly felt that he had my best interest at heart. His response time is uncanny--he is definitely someone who understands what time-sensitivity means. At times, he provided me more advice than my own lawyer! I would definitely recommend Zak to friends looking to buy property in the future. He has all the qualities you could ever want in a realtor.
Zak did an amazing job in helping us sell our Wicker Park condo. He was very professional and responsive. From the initial marketing, listing all the way to the closing he was very informative and detail oriented. Zak was very genuine and he always looked for what was in our best interest. It was great peace of mind knowing that Zak would help out wherever he was needed given that we had already moved out of the state. Selling a home can be stressful but Zak's knowledge and advice made it for a smooth process. I would highly recommend Zak for you next home purchase or sale.
Zak is incredibly easy to work with and was very attentive to all of our needs. He provided excellent advice throughout our home purchase process and was able to connect us with great resources from financing all the way through to closing. A very easy and smooth process, and the reason why this is my second home purchase where I have had Zak as my agent!
My first home buying experience was AWESOME and Zak had everything to do with that. His attention to detail, genuine care for our needs/wants, professional recommendations (inspectors, lawyers, mortgage brokers, etc.), and market knowledge allowed us to find what we now call our first home. Zak not only provides all of the listed above, but extensive information on the home buying process. This allowed my wife and I to make educated decisions throughout the home buying experience and know 100% that we were making the right calls (this sense of direction is/was priceless). I'm a business owner, and I can't say enough about how smooth Zak made this process on the back & front end. Will always call on Zak for real estate services!
Zak just helped my fiance and I purchase our dream home (first-time home owner) in Wicker Park- he was knowledgeable, patient, educational, informative, and most importantly, prompt/efficient. He was able to get us in the places we want to see as soon as we were ready and helped us go from identifying interests to making a (successful) offer. I would recommend Zak to anyone who is looking for a realtor in the Chicago area and have no doubt who we'll be going to next time we need something. He was by far the best part of our home-buying experience, aside from the home itself. Highest possible remarks and opinion.
My experience with Zak Herman in selling my condo within a few weeks was very positive in every way. From our initial meeting, to the marketing of the property, to the scheduling of the closing, Zak was always detail-oriented and professional. With a personable demeanor, he expediently got things done and kept my goals in mind throughout the process. He was easy to communicate with, very responsive to my concerns, and very respectful of my time. Plus, he was on top of all the new marketing opportunities of the internet. In the end, Zak Herman was a big factor, I believe, in the very quick sale of my condo.
