We had the pleasure to work once again with Beverly Bahm as our buyers agent! There is no one I would rather work with; Beverly is patient, attentive, and kind. We saw many units before making a purchase and it was so refreshing that our realtor was able to accompany us to all the units; Beverly took as much time with us as we needed. I have and will continue to recommend Beverly to anyo...
Dear Beverly,I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me during my very quick 'hunt for a home. ' I really love my condo and am enjoying Chicago. Working with you and your team (Rick, Marc, and Jeff) that you referred me to has been a wonderful experience. I truly appreciate the professionalism and kindness all involved and especially you have shown me. Thank you again. Since...
Hi Beverly,Tom and I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you did for us! We appreciate everything and we had a great experience with you as our Realtor! Also, thank you so much for the goodies you sent us and the bottle of champagne. We will definitely recommend you! Thanks Beverly!Katie and Tom and Liabo, West Loop
I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Beverly Baum at Dream Town Realty. As a first time buyer, I had very little idea about the procedure of purchasing a home. I began my search using their website to connect to the MLS listings. I found this to be very useful and convenient as I could narrow my search from the privacy of my own home. Once we found places w...
Beverly worked with us during the inception of our search all the way through our closing. Her professionalism and attention to detail made our search less stressful. We also loved the automatic emails with listings in our price and location range. Thanks Beverly!Pat and Lisa Ward, South Loop
I would like to share a testimonial about our wonderful experience with our agent - Beverly Bahm. My brother Spencer and I are both very thankful for her help in getting us into a great unit. I would recommend Beverly to everybody I know. She is very knowledgeable, reliable, consultative, diligent, patient, and very pleasant to work with. I would share some detailed thoughts on fou...
The occasions are truly rare when a realtor exceeds my expectations. This past year Beverly Bahm did just that – and is fully deserving of laudatory praise. Having worked with several different realtors to find my first condo, I came to Beverly understatedly cynical. If my past experiences had shown me anything before having met her - it was that most realtors I encountered shared...
I have worked with Bev for a number of years. What clearly stands out is her attention to detail, the ability to follow through to a successful conclusion for her clients and her strong negotiating skills. Some brokers have lost the art of being a tried and true client advocate. Beverly not only paints with that brush but she goes above and beyond for her clientele to achieve their desir...
Beverly Bahm has become very quickly more than a realtor; she's become a real friend. With her kindness and in-depth knowledge of the Chicago market and real estate business, she's made our house hunting experience very smooth and pleasant. She's been very attentive to our needs and took care of all the issues promptly and successfully to fulfill our dream of becoming first time home own...
As first time home buyers, we were a bit nervous and full of questions. But like a seasoned ship captain with a brand new crew, Beverly helped us navigate the entire process of buying a new home from start to finish. Beverly is very knowledgeable about the housing market and the processes involved in buying, as well as insightful, patient and savvy. We ventured into a challenging transac...
I highly recommend Beverly Bahm from Dream Town Realty if you are looking to buy or sell a home. After searching for a little over a year, I finally found the perfect place, and it wouldn't have happened without Beverly!
Our good friends recommended Beverly to us, and we are happy that they did. She handled the selling of our place and purchase of our dream home with grace and ease. She was very responsive, attentive, and we really felt like we had all the support that we needed. For such an important experience, we were lucky to have Beverly in our corner.
We just purchased a home in Lincoln Park and had the pleasure of working with Beverly Bahm from Dreamtown Realty, and she was wonderful! We've worked with Beverly before and there is no one I'd rather have help me make the most expensive purchase of my life than Beverly! She will literally spend as much time with you as desired to help you find your perfect home. I mean, you want to see ...
Ryan and I want to thank you for a job well done. Being that it was our first purchase, the whole process ran smooth and according to our schedule. We are very happy that we were able to find a place and close with enough time to prepare the baby's room. I was also very impressed with your referrals and want to thank you for recommending Shon for our mortgage and Mark for our inspection....
I would highly recommend Beverly Bahm as a Realtor for buying or selling any property in the Chicago area. She is knowledgeable, proactive, diligent and above all informative with any and all activity relative to your property. It is because of these qualities, I was able to sell my property within a fairly short time span, despite a difficult seller's market. Her guidance and extensive ...
When my wife and I were looking to purchase our first home, a trusted colleague and friend referred Beverly to us. From beginning to end, she has been an absolute professional and was there every step of the way. In the buyer's market that we are in, she proved to be a valuable resource in our search. Not only did she help us find the perfect home for us, but she also h...
I highly recommend Beverly Bahm to anyone interested in purchasing real estate. Beverly is knowledgeable and searches for the best fit the for the client regardless of the price point. Beverly did a great job helping me understand every step of the real estate process and worked tirelessly to make sure that it all came together as smoothly as possible. The home inspector, lender and real...
My wife and I used Beverly as our realtor this past summer and she did an excellent job for us. In these trying times you really need someone on your side who is willing to go the extra mile for you. Beverly is that person! She is professional, she keeps her commitments, is honest, and is dedicated to serving her clients. We would not hesitate to recommend Beverly to sellers and buyers o...
Beverly, it is always so great having you guide us through this process. We feel so confident having you at our side. I thank you for being there every step of the way because this time around I did it largely without Luigi's input. Denile Sensi, Humboldt Park
Beverly didn't serve as our representative during the recent purchase of our first home; she was much more than that: our advocate, teacher and supporter. Beverly took the complex and fluid world of real estate and made it simple. She encouraged us to ask questions and was available whenever we needed to reach her. Beverly is a professional who knows the real esta...
Beverly was awesome! She followed through on every detail.
Thank you Beverly for your concern and guidance, as a first time buyer you provided me with the best experience I could have gotten by working with you and your team of trusted professionals. I had the best lending adviser (Shon) and the best lawyer (Sandy). I think you are very knowledgeable, supportive and dedicated to customer satisfaction. Without your patience and guidance I would n...
Great communication and responsiveness. Beverly provided frequent buyer activity summaries and feedback from showings.
Beverly was fantastic to work with. We had a few false starts and it felt like we would never find a place. Beverly was a consummate professional and went through dozens of houses with us until we found the right one. She always had our best interests in mind and made this whole experience educational and fun. Thank You Beverly!
We have high expectations, and Beverly exceeds them. She always has time for us and makes us feel like we are her only client. She attends showings and actually helps sell the property, and she did it for less than others - that was very different from our experience with other agents that want more for essentially just listing the property and acting as a middle-man once an offer is mad...
Beverly understood us, and our needs, as well as our knowledge about the buying and selling experience. She was always there with support and advice. We are so pleased with our experience with her, and our new home and sale of our former home. We highly recommend her.
5 Bev has been very knowledgable and patient with me as I am a senior who was moving from a home of 40 years. Finding me the perfect place to make a huge transition. She's the best! I will certainly recommend Bev to anyone who could use her expertise!! I am quite happy with the results. Terry Hanson
Loved Beverly. She went over and beyond what I hoped. Sharon Frazin, West Rogers Park
Beverly was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process! Thanks!! Ron and Melinda Harris, Glenview
Beverly's professionalism, Knowledge, pleasant disposition and 24/7 availability makes her, in my case, an extraordinary buyers agent. G Garcia
Beverly was absolutely great to work with! She consistently went above and beyond by explaining things to me, a first-time home buyer, that provided the knowledge I needed to make a truly informed decision. She regularly elaborated on items when I didn't even ask a question, and these descriptions gave me vital information during my home search. Additionally, Beverly makes the entire pro...
Beverly was so helpful throughout the process. She always made sure I knew what was going on and the next steps and even kept everyone else involved on point and accountable. She gave me a lot of great referrals to mortgage lenders and other professionals as well. I only ended up looking at one property, the one I purchased, so it was a very short process, but it went so much better and ...
As first-time condo buyers and newcomers to Chicago, we relied on Beverly to educate us about the home buying process, the real estate market, and Chicago neighborhoods. She never let us down. As a result, we found a great place to live in a great city that we know much better, thanks to her. Beverly also advised us wisely during the price negotiations, enabling us to pay less than we ex...
Beverly is the first real estate agent that I have met and worked with who was genuinely committed to helping me find my dream home. Before working with Beverly, I had been searching for a home for almost two years. During those two years, I worked with three other real estate agents and with each was left feeling disappointed, frustrated and hopeless. My entire outlook on the process of...
As a first time seller, I didn't know what to expect, but Beverly made the process seamless. Her extensive knowledge of current market trends and indicators allowed us to price my condo to sell - and sell it did, in less than 2 days and over market price! She was always there with support and advice and made sure everyone stayed informed - and accountable! - throughout the process. Plus,...
We can't believe our good fortune in having Beverly as our realtor! Beverly was exceptionally helpful as we were first time Chicago & condo buyers. She very patiently and thoroughly helped us through the process. She always returned our phone calls and emails within a few hours time which made our transition so easy. We always felt secure in knowing Beverly was so organized and truly lea...
Beverly was very helpful from the get-go. She was patient with our questions and took the time to teach us important aspects of purchasing a home. She never seemed pushy and didn't try to impose her opinions onto us. Overall, we were very pleased with her services and would use her again when we sell our place!
We'd like to recognize just how great it was to work with Beverly Bahm. We were first time home buyers and didn't know what to expect, but Beverly made us feel totally comfortable. She was knowledgable about the current market conditions and never pressured us. When we had any questions, she was always responsive and available. She also referred us to a great inspector and attorney. We f...
Beverly was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She has a tremendous amount of knowledge and wisdom. She was always on top of all the important things and vigorously fought for us in various ways, whenever issues came up. If we ever have another real estate need, we will be calling Beverly (and recommending her enthusiastically to friends).
Beverely Bahm's "Honesty, Expertise, Nogotiating skills in every avenue and PATIENCES, helped us through an unbelievable situation! We really think more stars should be added DreamTown's scale! Beverly really is a Dream. Thanks you soooooooooo much Beverly. Gerrie and Buffy Hicks, two very grateful sisters.
Very patient with our first home buying experience and helpful through some tough times.
Beverly guided us throughout the entire home buying process from our first meeting together to signing off and getting the keys. With it being our first home purchase, we had many questions since it can be overwhelming. Beverly is on your side day in and day out even after your transaction to be your agent not just once but for life.
Beverly is amazing! I just closed and moved into my new home and I can say, from first hand experience, that she really helps you find the what you need. She is smart, observant, decisive, and very very easy to work with! I HIGHLY recommend enlisting her services to anyone who is serious about purchasing a home. Beverly is an amazing person AND a great realtor! A total professional!
Over the years we have done business with many real estate agents in Va, NC and Pa. but Beverly was by far the best when we bought our house in Chicago. We had figured it would take at least a week to find a property but with Beverly we found the perfect place the first day. This was because she worked closely with us over the internet before we even started our in person search so that ...
I have absolutely no reservations whatsoever about rating Beverly a 5/5. Our experience working with her was wonderful from beginning to end. She is an incredibly dedicated and hard-working agent who more than surpassed our expectations, really going above and beyond our needs. Beverly would be the first person that I would recommend to someone interested in renting or buying in Chicago.
We had a very complicated sale of our condo and purchase of our new home and without Beverly's expertise and caring guidance we would not have been able to close the deals. I cannot recommend Beverly enough - she is an AMAZING agent.
Beverly's slogan is "your realtor for life" as I met her 10 years ago and was immediately impressed with her personal and professional demeanor. Never forgetting her lasting impression, I used Beverly's expertise in my first investment property buying experience. Beverly has always been great and prompt within communication, she's calm and level-headed and she was always timely for our a...
We could not have gotten luckier finding Beverly when looking for our first home. Beverly was willing to have the unique experience of taking us on video chat tours of houses while we were out of the country. She did a magnificent job of pointing out the strengths and weakness of various homes without making us feel pressured either way. She is a ninja at tricky bidding scenarios, so we ...
Beverly is a great representative for Dream Town Realty. She is patient and really knowledgeable of the the Chicago market! She also listens and finds exactly what you are looking for. If you are looking for an agent, she is the only one you will need!!
After making the decision to return to my beloved hometown of Chicago I spent some time researching real estate agents. Beverly came to the top of the list as she had great reviews as a Dreamtown realtor and had obtained her ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative) designation. This gave me some reassurance she would keep our best interests in mind. From our first c...
Beverly is amazing to work with, both professionally and personally. When we met Beverly, we were first time home buyers with a brand new baby. She was so patient with us, explaining (and many, many times re-explaining, given our lack of sleep!) how the home buying process works and giving excellent tips. She is clearly very knowledgeable. I appreciate that Beverly shares her honest thou...
I'm a real estate investor from Los Angeles and was referred to Beverly Baum by a professional acquaintance (someone I had recently met as well). I asked her to help me in my search for my next income property. Her level of service and commitment went far beyond what I had expected and experienced from other realtors. She was extremely responsive and when she wasn't going to be available...
Beverly helped us find our first condo in Chicago. She is very patient, knowledgeable, and experienced which made the housing hunting process enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to any buyer or seller!
As out of town buyers, Beverly provided everything needed to make an informed purchase. She was quick to respond to our queries and walked with us through the process from beginning to end. She very patiently and professionally helped us view, negotiate and close the deal while giving us the space and information needed to make our own decisions. She also gave us excellent recommendation...
We used Beverly in 2009 as a buyer and then again in 2019 as a seller for our property in the South Loop, Chicago. We love her analytical approach and always felt like she was looking out for our best interest. She is trustworthy, detail-oriented, and most importantly - effective. Both closings went without issues. On our most recent property sale, we are able to se...
We had Beverly assist us when buying our home and then used her services again when selling. Both were wonderful experiences that gave us an opportunity to learn a lot about real estate. Beverly answered all of our questions and fought for us to get the best possible price on our home, which we think we achieved. Don't hesitate to use her, you will be happy you did!
If you are seeking someone who really knows the market, who is diligent and shows attention to detail...you must call Beverly! As a former realtor, I know average versus good. Well... Beverly was extraordinary! She knew how to price our condo, made staging suggestions and got is sold after only the 2nd showing! She kept us updated on the process all the way to closing! THANKS!!
Beverly is an extraordinary agent who listens to what the buyer wants and then acts on it. I was in the process of relocating from Europe to Chicago and had a small window of time to find my new home. At a distance of 5000 miles with an ocean in between, Beverly got to work and pulled a team together which exceeded my expectations in every way. She immediately gained my confidence with h...
We have worked with Beverly on the purchase of 2 condo's in the Chicago area and the sale of 1 condo. Beverly's professionalism, focus on detail and timelines is amazing. The few questions that arose during our dealings with Beverly were responded to quickly, accurately and thoroughly. I would highly recommend Beverly to anyone looking to buy or sell any type of property in the Chicago area!
I just moved into my condo and I love it! It's everything that I wanted and plenty more. I definitely couldn't have done it without Beverly's help. She was very understanding and patient with my concerns about buying my first home. She made sure I was comfortable with the entire process, and helped me figure out what I wanted and best for me. When we found the place that was best for me,...
My husband and I just purchased our first condo with the help or Beverly Bahm from Dream Town Realtors. Beverly was extremely knowledgeable and helpful through every step. Since this was our first experience buying a home, we loved that Beverly knew just what to ask and just what to look for so that my husband and I could just kind of go along for the ride. She got a good idea of w...
Beverly worked with us for almost a year to find the place that was right for us. We had a very exacting set of requirements, and she was always patient and helpful, going out of her way to seek out relevant information for us. She has an extensive list of contacts which she drew upon for our benefit, and she was clearly up to date with all aspects of the real estate market which helped ...
Beverly has been a terrific realtor. Especially outstanding service for anxious first time buyers. She was always attentive, we never felt alone in the entire process. She was extremely on top of our situation, helpful, knowledgeable and always willing to explain when we didn't understand. She stood right by us with our dream and helped to make it become a reality. She is personable and ...
Hey Beverly,I would highly recommend Dream Town Realty to any prospective homebuyer. My realtor, Beverly Bahm, was involved in almost every aspect of my homebuying experience. She took great interest in my questions and concerns and was very prompt with follow-ups. She also went out of her way to work with my hectic work schedule, and not hers. Beverly made my first home buying experienc...
I am writing to compliment Beverly Bahm and Dream Town. I recently purchased a home in Rogers Park with Beverly's help. From the first phone conversation to the closing table she was professional, kind and caring. It seemed that we were her only clients at times, although we knew that wasn't the case. She made the whole process easier with her knowledge and attention. My entire family is...
I can't say enough wonderful things about Beverly Bahm and Dream Town. My condo sold in warp speed time for a record amount for my building. Beverly is the consummate real estate agent and customer service person, from carefully performing the market analysis to creating the beautiful brochures (thank you Dream Town!). In addition, knowing it would be better for me; she helped me select ...
My husband and I are from Scotland and recently we purchased our first home here in the US. As we started to think about this possibility, we did not have NO IDEA where to start nor had we any idea about the various aspects of the home-buying process. We accidentally came across your web site and decided to arrange a viewing for a property that was within our price-range. It was during t...
Beverly we are so grateful for all your help with our first condo purchase. Your knowledge, experience and other contacts that assisted with our closing were priceless. We love the gift you gave us too! We look forward to doing all our business with you in the Chicago area. We will send you referrals any chance we get. Jack & MJ Hohl, Lakeview
We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge of the whole home buying process when we first came to dreamtown and found our agent, Beverly Bahm. We were so lucky to have someone who was so helpful and patient and still so knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. We were a little overwhelmed by the whole process and it was reassuring to know that we had someone o...
Hey Beverly,My wife and I were extremely pleased with the service and commitment of Dream Town Realty and especially our agent, Beverly Bahm. Beverly was incredibly efficient and met our every need in looking for our new condominium in Chicago. Showing a deep concern for what we truly wanted, she scheduled us to see a wide variety of places. We soon found "The One" and she helped us all ...
Working with Beverly Bahm at Dream Town has been a pleasure. Knowing the Beverly actually listened to our needs was a relief while we were in the long process of purchasing our first property. We have no complaints, only praise. I received Dream Town property listings through email that allowed me to search and calculate when I had free time, which helped narrow down our search. Rebekah ...
Thank you so much Beverly for making the extra effort to make my first home purchase successful. Your patience and help through all the crucial steps made this possible. Rick Lin, Wrigleyville
Being a first time home buyer can be a very intimidating process, but Beverly made it one of the best experiences ever. She helped us for our perfect space. She always pointed out the positives and negatives of every place we looked, so we could see it through her experienced eyes. Throughout the whole process all of our questions were answered graciously. We appreciate all of her help i...
I would strongly recommend Beverly Bahm and Dream Town Realty to my friends and co-workers who are looking to buy or sell their property. Beverly was able to find me a great place at a good price in a short-time frame. I will definitely recommend her in the future. Mark, Lincoln Park
Beverly is detail oriented and creative. She found a way to market and sell a challenging unit that did not come with a parking space. I am very grateful to her for sticking with the project and making a great sale. She's the best!
I am writing this quick note to express my extreme satisfaction with Dreamtown Realty, and more specifically with one of their realtors, Beverly Bahm. I first encountered Dreamtown when I began my search for a condo to purchase. I googled "Chicago real estate" and one of the first listings was Dreamtown. I found the website very user friendly and informative. I found an enormous variety ...
My wife and I recently closed on a 3-bedroom, two bath condominium in Logan Square. As any first-time home buyer can attest, the process was daunting and stressful throughout (made more so by the fact that we are expecting twins August 4th). However, with Beverly at our side and readily available to assist us every capacity, we felt comfortable and secure and most importantly, informed a...
I have had the pleasure of working with Beverly to purchase my first condo and she has recently helped me sell that same condo. I don't think I could have asked for a better real estate agent. Moving from out of state she was very helpful in her knowledge of real estate, but also her knowledge of the neighborhoods of Chicago. She found the perfect match for me in Andersonville. She was v...
I am writing to express my gratitude for the service I received from my real estate agent, Beverly Bahm. You will not find a kinder, smarter, more 24/7 realtor who will do everything she can to make the buying process as easy and understandable as possible!! As a first-time homebuyer I was able to ask Beverly lots of questions (often the same ones on multiple occasions). Every step of th...
Beverly is a fierce advocate for her customers. In my transaction she never hesitated to confront a seller or agent when she perceived a problem that could impact me. I would highly recommend her especially for the first time buyer as I was. Rick Stoneham, Logan Square
We are pleased with our experience with Dream Town. From the very beginning of search, the web site helped tremendously. But, even with the most narrowed search results, the process can be very time-consuming, and that's where Beverly came in and made things easy. We are impressed with the quality of Beverly's assistance from the very first appointment, through today - weeks after our cl...
Your website and weekly e-mail updates on properties that fit into our price range and desired amenities was what initially drew me to contact you once we were ready to begin looking. Beverly did an amazing job helping is narrow our selections, meeting with us at convenient times and really going to bat for us when it counted! Overall, we were incredibly satisfied with our decision to us...
Beverly not only sold us our lovely Lakeview condo, but also sold it for us two years later when we had to leave the area because of a job change. When we began the search for a home to buy, Beverly showed us numerous properties in neighborhoods across the city. Beverly always ensured that we looked at properties within the price range that we could afford. We easily found the perfect pl...
When it comes to a real estate agent, Beverly Bahm is a true professional! I couldn't believe it only took two days to sell my condo when there were several similar units in the building available during that time, and it was a very competitive market. It was her precise analysis and strategic planning that made it work. All I can say about Beverly is whatever works for her really worked...
I am writing this note to express my extreme satisfaction with Dreamtown Realty, and more specifically with one Dreamtown realtor, Beverly Bahm. I learned of Dreamtown from a search of the internet looking for 'Chicago condos or lofts. ' I decided to email Dream Town a question regarding a condo listing that I found on their website. After submitting a request for more information, Bever...
