I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Tom to sell my condo in Chicago’s Gold Coast. The entire process was effortless from start to finish. Most impressively, he sold my condo in one day and for the full asking price. His market knowledge, pricing strategy, and communication was outstanding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Gold Coast.
I can’t recommend Tom enough. He first helped me find the perfect apartment when I needed a place quickly, and two years later, when I was ready to buy, he was there again to help me find my dream condo. The entire process—from renting to buying—was smooth, stress-free, and handled with incredible professionalism. He truly listened to what I wanted, was always responsive and ma...

From the very beginning, he was professional, ...
As a nurse, I needed a realtor who was efficient, trustworthy, and truly had my best interests in mind—and Tom Lazar delivered. After my home in Niles, IL sat on the market with another agent and didn’t sell, I switched to Tom based on the reccomendation of a work colleague. Tom sold my home within weeks of taking over the listing and for more than it had previously been listed for. ...
Working with Tom was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. My wife and I used Tom to help us both sell our old home and purchase our new home and both transactions went off without a hitch. Tom was on top of every detail along the way and made sure issues were resolved before they ever became problematic. I could not recommend Tom more highly!
Tom has helped me twice find a property. The first time I was new to the area and not only did he take me around to numerous properties he also acted as a "tour guide" and showed me all around the city and neighboring areas until I was comfortable selecting a place to live. Tom is extremely professional and courteous. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom and his services and would love ...
My wife and I have been renting for over 15 years but our dream has always been to be condo owners. We couldn't have been more grateful when we met Tom Lazar because he made the buying process the most easy and pleasant experience anyone can have. He introduced us to a great landing company and helped us find a real estate attorney but above all else he found our dream condo. Tom is an h...
