I worked with Doug Stachowiak on two separate deals. The first was our first condo purchase (with all the stress and education necessary for a first homebuyer) and then two years later when we sold that condo and purchased our current condo, both in the West Loop. Doug is calm, very knowledgeable, extremely patient and overall my husband and I knew Doug was sincerely looking out for our best interest.

During our first home search, Doug must have taken us to 30 showings, at least. He was patient and helped us through the many processes (pre-approval, search, making an offer, negotiations, contract, inspections, loan approval, closing). He was flexible, diligent, and professional, along with genuinely personable. He is well connected, and helped us find the partners to get us through the process; he even gave us a handyman referral months (maybe years?) after we moved in.

When it came time for us to move, we didn't hesitate to call Doug to help us through the even more complicated process of both selling and buying at the same time. This time we were better educated and knew exactly what we were looking for. For this search, we saw significantly fewer properties, evidence that he was listening and only scheduling properties that would actually meet our criteria.

For the sale of our condo, we chose to list at a low time (November), and Doug diligently held open houses nearly every weekend to drum up traffic.

He is a trusted partner to my husband and I and we wouldn't hesitate to refer our closest friends to him... and we will definitely use him for our next sale/purchase!
