Testimonials

This letter is for the acknowledgement of a fine job Simon Mak has done in acquiring, notifying and obtaining a house for my husband and I. It’s rare to find an agent so knowledgeable on real estate who can be polite, patient and honest. We hope his service are further appreciated and wish to pass on two possible home buyers in the future.

I’ve been wanting to write you for over a month. The reason? To send you honest and true words of praise for the way you handled the sale of my home. Not only were you on your toes through every phase, but your calm, confident & knowledgeable manner helped ease me through what could called “trying times”. Actually these times were my fault & you helped me c...

Thank you, Simon!  I’m so glad I remembered you from over a year ago, as you are where exactly what I thought you were, on the ball: knowledgeable, organized, and honest.  I’m glad this is behind me, as I was too lenient with the other buyer & it cost me a great deal of $$$.

I am writing on behalf of Simon Mak, I have worked with him for the past year and he has done an excellent job in marketing and managing REO properties. I have found him to be very aggressive, assertive and conscientious. He has done well at managing the process from beginning to end and keeping REO properties, as he is extremely competent.

Normally I don’t write to thank someone I do business with, but normally I don’t get the kind of service that you provided. Not just the time and effort you put in, but your patience as well. I must have had a million questions and a million concerns, yet somehow, you found the time explain everything.

In only 16 days you sold our house and we received 96% of our asking price. We saw and called you constantly for assistance. You were professional. Patient, helpful and thoughtful throughout the entire process.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your associates for all your help in marketing and selling my home in the northwest suburb of Harwood Heights. Although we hit some rocky or should I say “Rocco” moments in the deal your patience and perseverance paid off.

Simon, I want to express my sincerely appreciation for all of your help. From the moment we placed the house on the market, there were people at the door and looking around. With your genuine concern for people and your optimistic attitude, my home was sold in no time. I will gladly recommend you to my family and friends. Letting them know that you go that extra mile. Thank you!

I want to thank you for all of the time and effort you put in selling our house. I’m the first to admit that, in the beginning, I was more than a little nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. And I really didn’t know how the process worked. Fortunately, Brian was there to explain everything step-by-step and answer all of my questions. Brian's help and pati...

Mr. Mak was everywhere, he kept me informed on progress while applying ionnovative and creative techniques to the process of selling. Within days we got results.

I wanted to make sure that we thank you for the excellent job you did in selling our rental building in Skokie. Right from the start you provided a realistic analysis of the property that allowed us to price it correctly and ultimately to sell it for the best possible price. Throughout the process of showings and getting feedback you were always available for any questions we ...

My words will not be enough. Like a couple of rock stars, at the peak of their performance, Ben and Simon, delivered the perfect concert. From the beginning Simon collected information about comparable properties and indicated all the steps I needed to follow to sell the condo. He then monitored every step of the way for me to effortlessly sell. He also recommended Ben that worked on the...

Thank you to Simon, Brian, and the BigMak group for overseeing the selling of my parents’ house. From placing a feeler/coming soon in late May, the actual listing in June/July, and finally to the actual closing in early August. Simon and company sold the house quick. He met with us to go over the details, make recommendations, housing comps, photoshoots, and signing the contracts. ...

Sadly my siblings and I lost both our parent within a year and a half of each other. We had gone through the hard process of clearing their home and getting it ready for sale. Simon and Brian Mak of BigMak Group have been our family's realtors throughout the years and we decided again to have them represent us in the sale of our parent's home. BigMak Group worked closely with us ...

Brian was like family by the end of our search! He listened to our needs and made us feel confident and secure with our choices. Brian answered every email, phone call, and text without hesitation. He advocated for us when we needed it and made home buying a breeze. I would definitely recommend BigMak Group!

Purchasing a home is probably the biggest investment we make in our life. With it comes a lot of excitement but also a lot of anxiety. It’s been quite a journey, but I’m happy to say that I finally acquired my home. It took three years. Through the process the team of Simon and Brian Mak made sure that when I did find “the one”, that I would be happy with it . The...
