Listed and sold a home

Michele helped us with the sale of our home in Vernon Hills. Her responsiveness and attention to detail far surpass the level of service I have received from any other realtor. She really goes the extra miles to make sure her clients are happy and everything is going smoothly.

Michele is extremely knowledgeable on comps and does her homework. We sold our house in just in a few days and the process could not have been easier! We had moved overseas by the time of closing and she handled everything beautifully in our absence. What could have been an extremely stressful time was made much simpler knowing that we could trust Michele to work in our best interests.

Michele follows the Golden Rule -- always treating her customers as she would like to be treated. She has a reputation for having a high level of integrity and it's definitely well-deserved. Throughout our process, I was always confident that Michele was working with my family's best interest in mind. She is tenacious and persistent without being pushy and she is highly responsive. I am very grateful that we had Michele on our team. I highly recommend her and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Helped me buy and sell homes

Ms. Tolomeo was resourceful and determined in helping us to sell a home in a very difficult sales market. She persistently sought new clients for the sale and personally attended the closing to help ensure a smooth transition, even though it was not required by the terms of the sale.

During the purchase of our next property, she actively sought new listings and vetted them for us. When the search began to feel overwhelming, she helped us to refine our criteria. She accommodated our busy schedule and was consistently available to visit prospective properties.

I highly recommend any prospective home seller or buyer to retain the services of Ms. Tolomeo.

Helped me buy home

Michele's enthusiasm on the phone first convinced me to work with her. My husband and I had a very specific type of house we were looking for, but our "search" area encompassed several towns. Michele was patient and persistent in her quest for our special perfect home. She found the house we finally bought and took us to a town we had not even considered! Her knowledge of the market was impressive and she always came prepared. We recommend her with utmost confidence. She also helped us to find a tenant for our town home. We look forward to working with her again when our needs change! Laurie Newlin

First of all, Michele is a wonderful person- very competent ,honest, and charming.We waited to sell our house while in our 70's- it was difficult at the beginning.We were introduced to Michele and everything changed for the better! Shepusued all avenues to get a sale, leaving no stone unturned.Without her assistance, we might not have sold our home in a very soft market.She and her company made it happen. But definitely mostly HER!!!!!I would recommend her highly to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home !She is a superior salesperson and woderful young woman- I cannot say enoughgood things about her!!!!!

Helped me buy home

Michele did a fantastic job in assisting us in the purchase of land in Vernon Hills.She thoroughly researched the building code, coordinated with the village to identify building requirements and permit fees, and recommended land inspectors and builders. She also reached out to the association and researched the by laws. Michele presented us with many comps to help us determine the correct value. By the end of the process, we had confidence that the piece of land was suitable for building and met our needs. As this was our first land purchase, Michele's expertise in this area was so helpful.
