Peekacity
I was referred to Ivona from my sister, and I can honestly say that I have never worked with a
more professional and knowledgeable real estate agent. Ivona really cares about her clients,
and it really made the process of buying our home a pleasant experience. I have referred Ivona
to everyone that I talk with about real estate!
Jeanne and Jason Callan

My wife and I found ourselves with Ivona after a somewhat miserable experience with another
agent and as a consequence of a stellar reference from one of Ivona's former clients. This
former client, a colleague of my wife, expressed tremendous faith in Ivona's ability to
sensitively glean the often subtle idiosyncrasies of her respective clients. In fact, my wife's
colleague so trusted Ivona's judgment, that she felt no need to see her home before submitting
an offer to purchase it. Our experience with Ivona was no less impressive. We had very
specific, arguably fussy, requirements for our home to the point that it was like finding a
needle in a haystack. Seemingly effortlessly, Ivona helped us find exactly what we wanted at a
fantastic price. Moreover, she continued to be our advocate up to and including closing. Given
our relatively limited experience with the real estate market and our excessively particular
demands, I can say with absolute certainty that we could not have done it without her.
Edward Ozimek and Trish Kelly

I am writing this note simply to share how much we love working with you! Over the last 6
years you have not only been a great realtor with exceptional knowledge and a keen eye for
excellence, but you have placed my wife and I in the PERFECT home EVERY time! In this
difficult market it’s nice to see how passionate you remain and how true to your word you are!
You helped us negotiate the price we wanted and shared your personal thoughts on the
neighborhood that are truly invaluable!!! Simply stated – Thank you for all your support and
dedication! You are truly the BEST in your business and I will continue to recommend you to
EVERYONE I know!

Testimonials
What makes a fabulous realtor? Look no further than Ivona for the perfect example. Buying a
new home is exciting and joyous, yet stressful. Doubts about making the right choice of
location, nailing the right price down, negotiations with the owner, and then financing are
some of the hard parts where you need an Ivona to chart the course. She kept my budget in
mind, defending my interests like a mother bear protecting her cub! Sometimes her suggestion
for a bid to buy was lower than what I was willing to offer, getting the seller down to a more
advantageous price for me even though it would obviously reduce her commission. Ivona is an
excellent realtor because her years of experience allows her to predict the realm of options
that all parties would bring to the negotiation table This allowed me to feel that I had made
the most informed decision I could make. Besides all this, Ivona is compassionate, warm, and
‘user friendly’. Personality combined with professionalism made me feel I was definitely in the
right hands for this momentous decision: finding my dream home at a price I could afford, as
smoothly as possible.
Harriet Stein

Thank you for all your help in the search and purchase of my new home. You were extremely
professional and honest!
Thad Davis

Ivona was not pushy about getting the listing and she sold our home in 2 weeks! Everything
she said she would do, she did!
Kevin & Donna Dahill

Ivona really understood what we wanted. We'll be calling her again in 4-5 years and referring
her to friends in the meantime!

Testimonials
In my dealings with Realtors over the past ten years, I have never met anyone as kind, helpful
and attentive to our needs as you have been. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend
your service to anyone who is looking for an experienced, caring Realtor who gets things done!
Thanks for taking such good care of me!
Steven Schmoldt, Chicago, Illinois

Ivona has been an excellent resource to us throughout our time in Chicago. She intitially sold
our condo (in a day!), and patiently led us through the homebuying process. Since then, Ivona
has always been there for us when we have asked questions about the market or a potential
move outside of the city. She is extremely knowledgeable and always operates with the highest
integrity. We would not hestitate to use Ivona's services again and highly recommend her.
