"Helen is an Absolute Rock Star when it comes to selling homes!! We didn't even have it listed with MLS and she found a buyer that we loved their offer! A lot of that happened because of her vast network of relationships and then being the consummate … expert at every level of service! She exemplifies her branding of "Your Best Move!!""

"Helen helped us sell our home in HWCC and buy our new home. She was not only our realtor, but made us feel like family. We had our share of bumps along the road , and we truly could not have done it without Helen and her team!
She made the transit… ion from selling our home to buying our new one as seamless as possible.
We also worked with Katie to find our new dream home, Helen and Katie were ready from day one (in a snow blizzard!). Her team took the time to understand what we needed and wanted for our new home. I’ve had countless conversations with Helen where she guided us in the right direction. Helen and her team showed a level of transparency and compassion that made our real estate journey more personalized and we knew we were in great hands."

"We had a great experience working with Helen. The moment she left our home, the house was photographed and sold before it was advertised. Clearly she has an amazing network of people who spread the word."

"So glad we chose Helen, her positivity and vibrant personality, expertise, reputation, local market knowledge, and skilled online presence all paid off, we had four qualified offers in a matter of days of meeting her. Helen also kept on top of the pr… ogress of the sale making sure each step and deadline was met. Highly recommended, Helen and her team, and everyone she put us in contact with were flawless."

"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 a… ny 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."

John Lambert

"Helen is the best in the business! She is authentic, dedicated and always puts her clients first. Working with her was the best decision we could have made. As an investor she was able to provide great ideas, give us solutions, take our concerns, and… convert our deal to the best move.
The listing in the MLS was great, her pictures really support the quality of my property and catch the attention of potential buyers. Her exposure, marketing and connections help us to get in to more potential buyers.
She has a great standing with the local agents that support our deals.
I really appreciate her exceptional communication, as Helen always attend my requirements promptly.
Finally, I appreciate that she was always open to get my feedback and work with me.
I recommend Helen to anyone in need of the best dedicated and skilled real estate agent."

"After 55 years in our family home, my father decided to move to the city and we chose Helen Oliveri as our realtor.
She and her team were very knowledgable and fantastic to deal with, and we especially liked that she put a sign on his lawn with a … 'coming soon' on top to alert people that it was about to be listed.
We had 50 showings in the first weekend which resulted in many offers!
Helen was very responsive and knowledgeable about helping us sort through them and we closed the deal quickly.
We highly recommend Helen and her team"

"From the get-go Helen was top notch! We contacted her from a mailer after she’d sold a house across the street She was very responsive and set up an appointment with us immediately. She was thorough in her explanation of the process and always availa… ble for any questions or concerns we had. She got our house sold very quickly- within two and a half weeks! And she has an amazing team - Katie was super at showing us different properties and thank heavens for all her help- we love our new home.
I highly recommend Helen & her team for any real estate transactions!"

"When we recently decided to buy a house in the NW suburbs, we had already seen several of Helen Oliveri's signs at several available homes and reached out to her to help us with our search.
We had a very friendly, embracing welcome by Helen and he… r team! She was perfectly organized and gave us a detailed overview of the buying process, our and her roles and as a result, there were no surprises!
Her prepared contract was clear and easy to understand, set up a fair framework, and gave us great accessibility to her and her team.
In a buyer's market, speed is essential and her team was extremely agile, providing very fast access to any objects which fit our profile that we were interested in.
Helen's knowledge of the market and the actual value of individual objects provided the critical background for our bidding strategy which resulted in a successful outcome - we got the house we wanted! Also, the previous owner informed us that our offer was very close to those of others, but was still the best. This feedback underscored that Helen gave us great advice on the amount to offer.
We had a wonderful experience working with Helen and her team (shout out to Katie Haruska too!) and we can fully recommend her for any real estate activities in our area. FIVE STARS!"
