Here's the Story....

Your Neighbor Called Us
Helen Oliveri is no stranger to the Meadow Wood subdivision in Lake Zurich. With a proven track record and multiple successful sales here, it was only a matter of time before another smart seller reached out. After watching Helen list and sell home after home in their neighborhood—and reading the glowing reviews—the sellers at 1119 Chelsea knew exactly who to call when it was time to move. “We felt we were in the best of hands,” they said—and they were right.

We Got To Work
From day one, Helen and her team approached this home with a focused strategy. As a spacious and serene end-unit with a private entrance and modern updates, the home already had standout appeal. Helen’s team elevated every detail—refining the presentation with expert staging, showcasing the soaring ceilings and sun-filled layout, and highlighting the beautifully finished English basement. Every square foot was made to shine.

EXCITEMENT IN THE MARKET
Buyers responded immediately. From the open layout and hardwood floors to the sleek quartz kitchen and oversized primary suite with a cozy sitting area, every feature struck a chord. The private location—tucked away from Rt. 12 yet close to everything—was the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Helen’s early buzz campaign created urgency and anticipation before the listing officially hit the broader market.

Aggressive Marketing
Helen’s marketing went beyond the typical. Professional photography and captivating video were just the beginning. Every campaign was crafted to target the right buyer, with tailored digital ads, neighborhood outreach, and exclusive agent-to-agent exposure. Her local dominance in Lake Zurich and Meadow Wood gave this listing the credibility and attention it deserved—fast.

Strategic Negotiations
When the offers came in, Helen did what she does best—she negotiated with precision. Understanding both the sellers’ goals and the buyers’ motivations, she crafted a winning deal that met the sellers’ needs for timing, terms, and price. The result? A smooth, swift contract with no compromises.

Success!
Helen has sold multiple homes in the Meadow Wood subdivision in Lake Zurich. We have watched her sell one home after the next and we saw so many great reviews so when the time came to sell our home it was easy to choose Helen. We felt we were in the best of hands and she exceeded our expectations..

“Where do I begin!!! My journey started a couple years ago when I reached out to Helen about selling my home in Hawthorn Woods, at the time I wasn’t quite ready to pull the trigger, but she left the door open. Fast forward to September 2025 and there I was ready to make the decision to sell my home. Not a moment past by where I felt I was not Helen‘s number one priority!!! She was always available, always knowledgeable, very direct and very practical! It was so refreshing because a lot of times, in this industry, agents may sugarcoat things to just get something done! I immediately became part of her family and she invested in mine. Thank you Helen for all the amazing work you did to help sell my home, before it even hit the market I might add, and helping me land my dream home in Buffalo Grove for my 4 children and I!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my friend Helen and the incredible work she does as a realtor! Nine years ago, she guided me through the purchase of my first home—a beautiful condo on Bangs Lake in Wauconda, IL. As a first-time homebuyer, I had so many questions and concerns, but she made the entire process seamless and enjoyable with her knowledge, patience, and dedication. Fast forward to now, as my family has grown, I turned to Helen again to help us find our new home in Lake Zurich, IL. She went above and beyond to find us the perfect place in a difficult market. The new house checked everything off the list and more, and feels like home. Not only did she help with the purchase of my new residence, but she also assisted me with the rental process for the condo. She helped me secure tenants within 1 week. Her husband and business partner, Danny, is phenomenal as well and took very professional staging photos. The Oliveri's are truly such a great and hard-working family! On top of her professionalism and expertise, Helen always adds such a personal touch. Her thoughtful housewarming gift of wine, chocolate, candles, and even a custom engraved charcuterie board was just one more example of how much she truly cares about her clients. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side through both of these major life milestones. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, committed, and truly invested in your happiness, I highly recommend Helen! She knows her stuff better than anyone and you will be in great hands with her and her team. She also works very closely with Attorney Lauren LoMonaco, who was such a pleasure to do business with. The loan agent, Missy Niedholdt with American Portfolio Mortgage, was also extremely helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. Her entire team works around the clock. All of her business partners were always accessible and made time to answer any questions I had. With so many realtors flooding the market, none come close to matching Helen's expertise. Plus, she is just SO MUCH FUN to work with! You will not regret working with Helen. She is so passionate about her work, and will be about helping you too!”

“My wife and I were blessed to have the Helen Oliveri team navigate us towards first-time home ownership. Our Buyer's Agent, Katie Haruska, was the advocate you want in your corner. Katie's years of real estate insight showed during negotiations and any questions we came across. With this team, we felt comfortable on every chapter of home buying. Katie handled our proposed offer, attorney review and closing process flawlessly. Helen has fostered a distinguished business environment.”
