Frank and Carolyn were excellent to work through the entire process from the purchase of my new property to the sale of my original home. They both communicated very clearly every step of the process and explained away any questions or concerns I had throughout. I cannot recommend them enough!

Frank did a great job making this a smooth process for us during our search as first-time home buyers. Very thorough on his experience in the field about certain houses, how they were built, quality of material; remodels, etc. Held a professional communication level with opposing realtors during open houses as well with above-par respect!

Frank and Carolyn are a great team, made the selling process easy. Look forward to working with them again on other listings in the future.

Frank helped my family buy and sell 4 homes this year, which demonstrates our faith and trust in him and his expertise. He’s basically a member of our family now!

I do many real estate transactions per year as I am a real estate investor, and Frank is my go to realtor. He keeps me sane through the closing process and handles everything with ease. I trust him when making decisions and will always ask his advice and for his guidance. He's an asset to Baird and Warner and I am lucky to have him on my team.

We worked with both Frank Gaines and Carolyn Chesta of Baird & Warner to purchase a home in a sellers market. We could not have secured our home without their responsiveness and expertise. These two are first class and we will be referring everyone we know to them. Can't thank you both enough for not only making a typically stressful experience so much easier, but enjoyable as well!

Frank is my go to realtor, one of the hardest working I’ve ever come across. He is knowledgeable, patient and always puts the client first. He is an asset to your company

We enjoyed working with Frank. We felt he had our best interest in finding us the right house, which he did. Also sold the house we are now living in, very quick. We will always revere him to anyone selling or looking for a home in the future.

Frank Gaines was a great agent all around; responsive, diligent, forthright and his assessments of the market and my personal situation was top notch.

Everything was great. Process went smooth

Frank Gaines is my go to realtor. He knows the entire Chicagoland market from city to suburbs and is available whenever I need him. He has excellent follow through and I haven’t met a realtor yet that works harder than he does.

Relocating from New England, we had no idea about the Chicagoland area or what communities we wanted to be in. Frank was instrumental in pointing us in the right direction and providing a broad range of options so we could figure out where and what we wanted. Frank was kind, honest, and accommodating. We had a great experience finding our new home.

Frank was very easy to work with and responded quickly when I needed him to. He’s a great guy!

Frank was always checking in with me to get updates, how was I feeling, and if I felt uneasy about something he would check into it or reassure me that it was all good.

Frank is a fantastic realtor. Very responsive, no matter the question or time of day. Knows his markets and always has the best interests of the client. I feel like I’m in great hands.

Frank was great! Very knowledgeable of the area

Frank is amazing. Best realtor I've ever worked with!

Frank was immensely helpful during my first home purchase. He helped me find something good for me and was thorough in explaining all of the pros and cons for everything. He was on top of everything and helped me secure the house I loved! We are so grateful we found Frank and chose to pursue buying a home :)

There is no way we would have been able to sell and buy our house without Frank! Thank you for getting us out dream home!!

I have worked with various other agents... Frank is by far the most motivated realtor who brings value to a much higher level when you are seeking to sell or buy a home. He is serious and persistent who looks to please in helping you make a wise decision. Frank is truly dedicated to his job no exception.

Thank you Frank for all of your hard work with buying and selling our house! We could not have done it without you!!

Frank and Carolyn were the best! Will highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home.

Frank is a very thoughtful, knowledgeable and professional realtor. He knew exactly how to market my property to get the best price possible. Every roadblock seemed to get thrown in our way on this deal but Frank had a solution for EVERYTHING!!! He worked for me start to finish! I don't think another realtor would have been so attentive to details and so invested in problem solving! ...

Frank is the best! He was very helpful through the whole process. Couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Will definitely use him again.

Frank has been my realtor for several years and I rely on him to get the job done and he always does.

"In addition to being just a darn good realtor, Frank Gaines is faithful, loyal, and truly cares about the well-being of his clients. Frank first, quickly and smoothly, sold my rental home. He then took on the difficult sale of my personal home, a grand Victorian in Elgin. Through all the ups and downs of selling a beloved, old house, Frank managed to keep me on course and stand by my...

Wish to thank Frank Gaines for his invaluable advice when marketing my Schaumburg townhome. In fact, we had an acceptable offer in five days, thanks to Frank. We closed on February 24.

Frank did an outstanding job. As a first time home buyer, there were some things that could get overwhelming. Whenever Frank noticed me start to panic, he would calm me down and make me go one step at a time instead of getting ahead of myself. It was just what I needed. He also had great input on what would be a better investment for our money. Frank was awesome and I couldn't imagine th...

Frank is a very personable agent and great to work with. He gives you what you need to know up front and is very quick to respond to any and all questions and concerns. I was very pleased to have Frank as my agent and would call on him again in a heartbeat.  

I met Frank when I called to ask to see a duplex in Batavia. I was impressed with his personality and called him to see a few more places and when my contract was up with my current realtor I listed with Frank shortly after. He sold my home in less than a month I believe, whereas it had been on the market for 6 months with the previous realtor. His friendly conscientious manner and...
