Rachel recently provided expert assistance to my mother as she sold her townhome. My mother is in her late 70s, is widowed and was worried about how she would navigate the complex selling process in a very dynamic market. Rachel was terrific - from pre-listing consultation through to final negotiations - she leveraged her extensive experience and insight to ensure my mom received an idea...
Rachel is a rare find - she is professional, patient, available, and really cares about her clients. I was very fortunate to have met her a few years ago when first moving to the city. She was extremely supportive and helped me find my first couple of apartments in Chicago (I'm very picky), and we stayed in touch until I was ready to start looking at my first home purchase. Finding out f...
Mikie and I want to thank you for making the sale of our condo a pleasant experience. We did interview several agents before selecting Dream Town. Your presentation of the marketplace, the process, the costs, and the timing proved to be right on target. We have bought and sold many properties over our lifetime and we rate your performance, professionalism, and honesty at the very top of ...
I most highly recommend Rachel. She was wonderful in her ability to help me move out of a house of almost 40 years. She was completely professional and resourceful. There were so many times I was alarmed by a problem with my house but Rachel always knew how to solve the problems and did so often below price because of her many contacts.
Rachel was absolutely amazing to work with! As first time home buyers, we needed a lot of guidance. Rachel was extremely patient, knowledgeable, professional and thorough. It was very apparent that she had our best interest in mind from the get go and we couldn't have imagined a better experience. She surrounds herself with the best of the best and all of her referrals and suggestions we...
Rachel was a tremendous ally to have during the daunting process of looking for and buying our family's first home. She was consistently able to provide insight on significant elements of each house and how it affected the home's value and was incredibly knowledgeable and observant when it came to understanding the nuts and bolts of each spot. She always knew what to look for! Rachel's r...
Rachel was a fantastic buyer's agent for us! She was patient with our lengthy timeline and provided excellent insight into the area we were looking at as well as the properties themselves. She took the time to give us a great tour of the city and was very knowledgable. She was honest and forthcoming in her opinion as well!
Rachel sold my high-end condo in Streeterville for a very good price during the Covid pandemic through her connections with other realtors. This was a big relief for me, since I had accepted a job out of state. She was there every step of the way, even supervising some of the repairs that took place after I moved. I would highly recommend Rachel Vecchio!
Rachel truly went way above and beyond in managing the sale of our condo. I was worried about the process given we live remote, but Rachel quickly put my mind at ease by taking ownership of key decisions regarding updates that needed to be made and assuring me that a smooth process was possible even without my presence. She couldn't have been more right, but all thanks to her collaborati...
Rachel is beyond incredible, she is helping me get acclimated with the world of purchasing by walking me through the process and also helped me find my recent rental property. The amount of help she continues to offer and the calm and understanding she brings to the chaos of looking to move, rent or buy is unmatched!
Rachel is incredible! We worked with Rachel to purchase our first home, but second property so we had a prior experience to compare her to. She exceeded all expectations. This market is crazy and Rachel did everything to ensure our success in finding a home we loved and getting it. We were in contract two times prior to closing (both times the sellers backed out and it was unrelated to u...
Rachel is an expert in her field. She helped my wife and I buy a new house and she negotiated a huge savings for our family. Additionally, she helped us sell our condo during the pandemic in a tough market. She has great insights into what will help get things sold and uses really up to date technologies and insights to further push the sell forward. Additionally, Rachel is always availa...
We could not have asked for a better realtor than Rachel for the purchase of our first home! She was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations – especially considering we were first time buyers during one of the most crazy housing markets! Rachel is experienced, confident, extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent insight into all the neighborhoods we conside...
As first-time home buyers, we were excited and nervous about the process of buying our first place. Really nervous. Rachel helped us to navigate the neighborhoods of Chicago so that we could see potential all over the city. Our main issue was focusing on what we needed and blending that with our "wants list". We met Rachel for coffee one evening to discuss a property we'd just seen when ...
Rachel Dunnill was a very patient and available agent. When I received a package in the mail with a Chicago map and Rachel's business card, I knew I was stepping in the right direction. I was brand new to the looking and buying process and she brought great knowledge to each showing. She filled the gaps by asking all the questions I didn't know to ask. That alleviated any stress and help...
When our work led us to relocate to the Chicago area, where we knew virtually no one, we faced a daunting list of challenges. Rachel Dunnill came to our attention through routine house hunting on the Dreamland website. Appointing her as our realtor was the most important and advantageous decision we made in our move. Along the way, which ended up being an exhausting yearlong journey, she...
I can't say enough about how fantastic Rachel was during my home buying experience. Not only was I a first time home buyer, but I was moving half way across the country and had little knowledge about Chicago. Her patience, knowledge and organization put me at ease and made the whole process virtually stress free. Due to my schedule, I had one weekend to look at about a dozen places and m...
Our realtor was Rachel Dunnill and she was awesome! It was our first time buying a home - and we are kind of picky! She took the time to get to know us and our interests, our budget and helped us find a way to make it all fit into what we were looking for. She had lots of great information and connected us to other great resources as well. When we showed her the place we wanted to buy, s...
I am a very picky person and Dream Town helped me find a fantastic place that I really love. My agent, Rachel, was very knowledgeable about the city, and she was always prepared for our visits. She worked very hard between our showings and was constantly in touch with me about my thoughts and with new ideas.What I really liked was that she would send me emails with links to various prope...
Rachel Dunnill was an amazing resource helping me find the place of my dreams. She didn't get frustrated by my incredibly broad price range and location. After the first 5 places we looked at, she got a great idea of what I was looking for and only sent me properties that were exactly what I was looking for. She called a few days after our first viewing and said "I've found exactly what ...
Rachel is the epitome of professionalism. We could not have been more pleased with her representation of our home. She was always prepared and anticipated any given scenario. She was timely in her responses; we appreciated her realistic feedback and honest evaluations. Her personal and individualized representation created a stress free sales environment for us. We would recommend Rachel...
My wife Jen and I recently worked with Rachel to find our new home in Chicago. Rachel did an amazing job identifying properties that matched our criteria, allowing us to find our new home and close within 60 days. She was always available and eager to take on any challenge that was presented. Huge thanks to Rachel for finding us our new home and making the entire process as smooth as pos...
I met Rachel as the sellers agent when I was buying my condo. I was so impressed with her attention to detail and courteous nature. When the time came to sell my condo, I knew that Rachel was the person who could best represent me and provide the expert advice that I needed. I decided to sell my condo during a difficult time for sellers, and Rachel was very honest and upfront with me abo...
