What clients say
In their words, from public reviews.
Vernon is very knowledgeable in real estate and is a very good communicator. He helped me understand the process for purchasing my office. I highly recommend him.
We had a fantastic experience working with Vernon to purchase our condo in West Town. He was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about the local market, and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From start to finish, Vernon was exceptionally easy to work with and always had our best interests in mind. If you are looking for a top-tier agent in Chicago, we highly recommend him!
Vernon is one of the hardest-working, most responsive agents I’ve worked with. He genuinely cares about his clients, taking time to explain the process and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. His honesty and communication set him apart, and his knowledge of the Chicago market is evident. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy agent who goes the extra mile.
The agent
Pricing and negotiation. Everything else is paperwork.
The two moments that move the number are when the list price is set and when the offer is negotiated. Vernon's practice started in commercial investment deals, where the numbers have to hold up. That is the discipline he brings to a two-flat in Logan Square or a condo in Wicker Park.
