What clients say about working with me...

Mike is truly excellent in all dimensions. He is equipped with a tremendous amount of knowledge, resource and network that helped our family get through our first home purchase, which would have been very overwhelming without his expertise. He also fully understands the emotional burden that the process can bring especially to someone who's newer to the real estate market and always stays connected to provide the right mental and emotional support. My family felt fortunate to work with Mike and would strongly recommend to anyone who's looking for a professional and caring realtor. Thanks Mike!

I can not say enough good things about having Mike as my realtor! Unfortunately, before I was introduced to Mike, I was working with another realtor to sell my condo. I was having a horrible experience and wanted to find someone else to help me in my search for a new home. I was then introduced to Mike! He was great from the beginning- super eager to help me find a new home, and with a positive attitude that I WOULD find a place (despite all of my worries and stresses with the market today). Mike was extremely quick to respond to anything I sent him, which was SO appreciated and helpful in today’s fast-paced market. I would send a listing to Mike, and 99% of the time we would go see it in a few hours later. I seriously lost track of how many houses he so patiently took me to see. And finally (I say finally because of how many houses we saw, not the actual time it took to find “the one”), I found THE ONE! Mile introduced me to a great team, who all together had the process of buying my new home go smoothly. Mike was so involved from beginning to end, and so helpful on every level. I hope to not need to use Mike personally again (because moving is just not a process I enjoy), but I do want to recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor in the future! Thank you Mike, for all of your help and patience with me and this process!

My husband and I were thrilled to work with Mike. I found him through his YouTube channel when we first started our house hunting journey and am glad I did! From the beginning, Mike was super helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. One of the first things he said to us was "it takes as long as it takes," which let me know that he would be patient with us (which was necessary as our hunt took almost 2 years!). He took the time to learn about what we wanted in a home. As first-time home buyers, it was important for us to find a realtor that could break the process down for us and be willing to educate us along the way. That is exactly what Mike did. He simplified the home buying process and gladly answered all of our never-ending questions, all the while educating us on what to look for and what to be wary of.

We really enjoyed Mike's friendly and positive attitude and his willingness to go the extra mile. Living in the city with no car made it hard for us to come out and look at homes in the suburbs at a moment's notice in a crazy seller's market. So Mike kindly offered to do virtual tours with us where he went to the home and showed it to us via facetime, saving us time and money! We truly appreciated his resourcefulness and knew we were in good hands. And he regularly checked in on us to see if there were any houses we wanted to see or if there was anything we needed, without being pushy or "salesy."

What was admirable to me was Mike's openness about the process (e.g., low inventory of homes, high prices, commissions, etc.) and his honesty when there were things he was not knowledgeable about. He always made sure to let us know what to expect so there were no surprises. We felt he truly had our best interest at heart and this was displayed whenever he pointed out that he felt a specific house was not suited for us or our needs, after having learned what we were looking for. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a realtor!

I found Mike on YouTube (Chicago to the 'Burbs). We were relocating from Atlanta and I knew NOTHING about the area! His videos were so informative, personable and funny. So, I took a chance and called him for our realtor. BEST choice ever! My husband relocated while I stayed down south to finish the school year, however Mike kept me in the loop with every process. He was very patient with our questions and drove us all over looking at houses - even at the last minute. I would honestly recommend Mike to anyone - local or long distance!! Fantastic realtor!

Mike is reliable, informative, and has good communication! He stuck with us until the end. What stands out with Mike is his You Tube channel. His articles are very helpful, too. He is very knowledgable and is great for questions. He steers you to the right person or idea to think about before you make a life decision on a home.

We were first-time home buyers, and would've been completely lost without Mike.

Mike went out of his way to make sure he explained the entire process to us, was more than willing to research and travel to homes/neighborhoods outside of his normal operating areas, and was with us every step of the way even through some difficult circumstances. He was a strong advocate for us through all points of the process, all the way through the closing and subsequent clean-up work we asked of the seller to make sure we were satisfied.

Even after we closed the transaction, Mike has checked in with us periodically to make sure everything was going well, and really made us feel like he was invested in finding the right home for us.

We sincerely appreciate all Mike did for us (especially given the current times with COVID), and would highly recommend him to anyone in the real estate market.

Thanks Mike! We wouldn't be here without you!

Mike is awesome! He really goes out of his way to be responsive and helpful during the buying process, giving us really good information and answering our many many questions. When it came time to buy, we had a hard time coming to agreements with the seller, and Mike was a great advocate for us in that tough situation. He also has a solid network of recommended people for attorneys, loan officers, home inspectors, radon testers, etc. which we used and they were all fantastic-- much better services than we had buying our last house. Mike is also a fun guy to chat with, and when we had our baby even went out of his way to bring us a gift for her. 10/10 recommend Mike, especially if you are buying in the Algonquin/Crystal Lake/Dundee and surrounding areas.

Mike is highly knowledgeable about homes, always noting details that makes a home solid and showing concerns. He is very concerned that his clients invest in a good home for them. Mike is highly personable and enjoyable to be around. He is honest, kind, & works his butt off for his clients. For us, this was especially true when things got tough & the sale almost fell they due to an unexpectedly lower appraisal. He worked hard until the deal was done, even checking in on us at move-in & afterwards to see what we needed. I highly recommend Mike!!

My husband and I really appreciated having Mike Iwinski support to get our new home. What I have appreciated the most was his honesty and open feedback for every house we visited, he never tried to push us for making an decision or an offer, and always open to show us the houses we wanted to see, in a very wide range, until we were able to narrow it down to what we really wanted.
Mike had great eye / experience to catch major ticket items that would need to be fixed in the houses we visited and for us that was a big plus.

I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family and would use him again in the future.

Very professional.
