Matt and his full team are top notch! Best there is! We have used Matt now for two purchases and two sales over the course of the last 7 years, and each experience was flawless. Matt s entire team is super professional, helpful and responsive throughout the entire process... and Matt himself is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and gets the best results for his clients! +++
From the time we happened upon Matt he was completely true to his word. Never any high pressure tactics or expectations. His knowledge of Chicago, neighborhoods and the policies and rules was instrumental to our search. Once he learned of our priorities and preferences he was easily able to help us focus on those neighborhoods that would most fulfill our needs. While that was our foremost objective, Matt and his team made the process actually "fun." They have an impeccable attitude and their work ethic, skill and professionalism are out of this world. You simply cannot go wrong working with The Matt Laricy Group for your real estate needs.
Matt was very responsive and helpful throughout the process of purchasing my first condo. He and his team really know the area and provided thorough support at every step. He really gives his honest opinion. Overall very helpful and high integrity!
Matt and his team were great!! They were VERY RESPONSIVE and gave us feedback on showings very quickly. They were pleasant to deal with and very professional. We have and will recommend him to our friends and family. We have used many realtors in the past and he is by far is the best!!! The process was stress free and easy from start to finish.
Matt and his team were great to work with. We loved their communication, attention to detail, and use of technology. It was a pleasure working with his team and we will be highly recommending them to anyone who needs an agent.
Matt Laricy and his team are exactly who you want in your corner when buying real estate. They take the time to understand what you are looking for. Then find the property that will check all of your criteria boxes. As a first time home buyer I had many questions. Matt and his team were always fast to answer any question or concern. Working with Matt was an absolute pleasure. His breadth of knowledge on the many Chicago buildings made showings a breeze. He was honest with his advice, but always willing to work with what you wanted. I look forward to working with Matt Laricy again in the future.
I was new to the Chicago area, and a property virgin, so naturally I had quite a few questions regarding the home buying process. I was referred to Matt Laricy through my lender. He was prompt in responding, and went out of his way to meet me during my busy work schedule. He has excellent knowledge of the Chicago properties, and took the time to answer my questions. His associates are also polite and worked diligently to get me in to see the properties I was interested in. I never had a problem getting in touch with either Matt or his staff. Thanks to Matt and his group, my first home buying experience was a success! I would highly recommend Matt Laricy without reservation.
When you are choosing a realtor from 2200 miles away, all you can rely on are online reviews. I researched over a dozen realtors and choose Matt. From the time that we met him through our closing, I can only say that all the great reviews are very well founded. Matt was the most responsive realtor we have ever used. If we sent him an email, we would receive a response immediately. He and his staff are on top of every little detail. Having never lived in Chicago, his local knowledge regarding different areas and buildings was extremely helpful in our selection process. I would recommend Matt to anyone who wants a reliable, honest and professional realtor who is there for you every step of the way.
This was our first time buying a house and Matt was there to answer any question. Even if I emailed him late at night or early morning, I got a response within an hour. His entire team was on top of things, regularly providing updates and making sure all parties involved were updated as to what was happening. Matt gave blunt opinions about places we were not sure of, never rushed us and was always there to answer any question. Matt, Mickey and Amy were super quick in scheduling a showing of a place. As we finalized a place and were getting ready for the close, Amy made sure everything is communicated to us in a timely fashion and was very well organized. I highly recommend Matt, he knows the Chicago market in and out!
We chose Matt Laricy to be our realtor to help sell our condo, and move into a single family home in June 2020. The whole experience, from beginning to end, was fantastic. From the buy side, Matt provides an incredible amount of information to ensure you are the most informed buyer. We never once felt pressure to put an offer in, as some realtors may be keen to do. From the sell perspective, WOW! His team goes above and beyond to once again ensure you are the most informed about what is going on. From the communication and feedback on the showings to weekly emails updating you on how Matt is managing your property and what he's doing for you behind the scenes (calls, marketing, etc.). The major differentiating factor was when we went under contract on both properties. This is where most realtors drop out of the process, and leave you standing high and dry to manage the process through to close. Matt employs a full time staff who project manage the checklist to help you get to close. This was so smooth, and every week Jamie from his team checked in on us to make sure all was progressing, provide updates, and help through any issues. This is an all-star team through and through.
Matt and his team are the beating heart of Chicago s real state business. We finally bought a condo in Lincoln Park after a long search. Matt knows every home at every block in every neighborhood in Chicago and can provide an exceptional assessment of a property value. His team were very responsive and very professional. They made the whole process very smooth and even enjoyable. Exactly what you need as a buyer.
I highly recommend Matt and his team to help you find a home! The following are reasons:
1) Matt's in your corner from the first moment you sit down together
2) He's patient with you, and not pushy. This is a huge plus. Took my wife and I, 10 months of passively searching for the right home
3) He is brutally honest, which is very refreshing. He has a knack of bringing to light any negatives that you have in the back of your mind about a property, but are unable to voice out for whatever reason.
4) Matt and his team are very timely with their responses, efficient, and extremely professional.
Matt helped us find our dream place, and vouched for us throughout a 4 party bidding process - call him to find out how we won despite not being the highest bidder! Would work with Matt and his team in a heartbeat, should I ever be in the market again.
I would like to thank Matt and his team for all their proficiency and hard work in the selling of our condo. They were quick to respond to all the details and made the process effortless at our end
by following up immediately on every detail of the sale and walking us
through it all. Their easy manner and frequent contact with us made it
very personal and best of all our unit sold within four days and at
above lthe listing price. Thank you Matt and your team of skilled associates. We will definitely remember you next time we need help with the purchase of
a property. Liz H
Matt and his team at the Matt Laricy Group were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Top marks across the board. As a first time home buyer I was confident that I had the right team on my side to help me through the process, address all my concerns, and get me the best deal possible. I wouldn't recommend anyone else in Chicago.
Matt and his team know Chicago, have a process, and they deliver. It was great working with them, and I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a realtor.
Matt and his team of professionals, including the staging consultant and closing attorney, provided outstanding support throughout the process of selling my property from start to finish. Thank you!
Matt was our real estate agent and assisted us in purchasing a home. We had a great experience with him as our agent as well as with his supportive team through every step of the process. He is a strong advocate for his clients, a fast responder that is always available and an endless source of guidance on the real estate acquisition process. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Chicagoland area.
Matt Laricy and his group should be the first and last people you consider when selling or buying your home. We had Matt sell our condo for us. We were pretty nervous about the market because the exact same unit as ours, 2 floors above, had been sitting on the market for 5 months, when it came time to list ours. Matt recommended that we list for a nearly the same price as the unit above us. I was skeptical that it would sell quickly at this price, and I definitely did not want it to sit on the market for months. However, he reassured me by explaining all his marketing strategies he employed. I interviewed several agents, and he was the most organized, prepared, professional, hard working out of them all. He and his team definitely are workaholics! They have a strict policy of never missing or cancelling a showing. He makes himself available any time, day or night. Long story short, we listed on a Monday and accepted an offer above our ask price on Thursday of that same week. Amazing! He was there for me throughout the rest of the process, making it so smooth and headache free. He is easily reachable and will quickly return any messages if he does not pick up right away. His rates are very competitive and were cheaper than all the other agents I interviewed. In my opinion, going with any other agent would be a huge mistake. He is at the top of this industry in Chicago. I give my highest recommendation and have been 100% satisfied with him and his team. You will not regret choosing Matt!
Matt and his team did an amazing job helping my wife and me purchase our first home. From the get-go, we were impressed with Matt s responsiveness in replying to emails even at odd hours. Throughout every step of the process, from negotiating the price to working with other parties on the deal, Matt and his team were on top of things. We ll definitely be going back to Matt for any future real estate needs in Chicago.
Matt and his team were fantastic from beginning to end. They were extremely organized in their approach to the entire process. I'm a details kinda guy and this group won't let you down. Matt is very knowledgeable on market trends. He's a very straight forward guy, doesn't beat around the bush. You can rely on him to provide you honest feedback at each step of the process. I highly recommend Matt and his team!
The dust has yet to settle from our move into the South Loop condo that Matt helped us purchase, but I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of positive reviews for Matt and his team. We chose to start the home-buying process with him on the basis of positive Yelp reviews and we are very happy with that decision. My spouse and I were in the midst of a very busy (tax) season at work and Matt and his team couldn't have been more helpful and organized once we found a place we liked enough to make an offer on. We appreciated the prompt calendar invites from Jamie every time a showing was scheduled as well as the whole team's flexibility in changing plans as things popped up. Matt himself was candid and straight-forward during this entire process, and we trusted his opinions. If we ever have to move again (please God, never again), we wouldn't hesitate to work with him.
We could not be happier with our experience of selling and buying a home with Matt Laricy and his team. They are extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago real estate market, and are an amazing resource of information. We were able to sell our home after only one day on the market - completely due to Matt and his team. When buying our new home, Matt was informative, attentive, and patient with us through our search. Matt and his team were on top of it all and so efficient with setting up showings, answering questions, etc. They helped us through the entire process in a seamless manner, and always made us feel like their top priority. We would highly recommend the Matt Laricy Group to anyone buying or selling a home!
We have been working with Matt for years now and he has coordinated multiple residential purchases and sales for us.
In short, he is excellent. His responsiveness is unmatched, he aggressively represents his client's interests, and he has assembled a polished team to make the whole experience of buying or selling a home seamless. No significant negatives that come to mind and we recommend him highly to all of our friends and family interested in Chicago real estate.
Matt Laricy, Jamie, and his team are the best realtor group in Chicago! Our journey first started for a random interest in a listing a year ago where he noticed and asked if we were first time home buyers and took the time to meet with my husband and me to explain the process, the Chicago market, and catered to what we were looking for. Flash forward to us restarting our search a month ago and we closed our condo today! He is honest and straightforward which is so refreshing to lay our trust to. What's valuable is that he knows the status of every building in Chicago and that helped us greatly narrow down our choices. He responds super quick and every recommendation he's given has turned out well. We can't thank him and his team enough!
Great team! Perfect coordination, service, and marketing. I look forward to working with Matt Laricy again!
My husband and I are first time home buyers moving to the Chicago area from out-of-state. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Matt. He was extremely easy to communicate with leading up to our first trip out to Chicago and made it easy for us to narrow down our options to a reasonable list of places to see in the limited time we had available. On the days we looked at units, he pointed out features we might have otherwise missed including items that may have hidden costs. When we found our dream place, our offer was one of four on the table. Thanks to Matt's insight and connections, our offer was chosen. Throughout the closing process, he was immensely helpful with negotiations and planning for a closing date with our difficult travel schedules. When we had questions or concerns, he returned texts or phone calls within a matter of hours. I know when we have another real estate transaction in Chicago, we will absolutely connect with him again.
Thank you Matt, Jamie, Lisa, Jena and the rest of his team who made the process a smooth and enjoyable one. Suits and looking sharp are a must, which also translate to an efficient and effective work attitude.
We are actually referred by a friend. We enjoyed the honest and down to earth comments from Matt during showings. He keeps in touch yet never pushy. He and his team are responsive even at the wee hours. We appreciate he keeps his communications succinct and to the point. He and his team are particuarly phenomenal during the anxiety prone closing process for a first time home buyer. They keep a clear to do list, follows up and stay on top of things to close on time. Highly recommend and look forward to work with Matt in the future.
As a repeat customer, Matt was awesome to work with. Matt is very professional, very knowledgeable, very responsive and know the Chicago area very well. He provided me honest and excellent suggestions, and was very forceful during negotiation. My purchasing experience has been very smooth, painless and stress-free. Matt and his team will continue to check with all parties to make sure everything is done before closing, making sure no issues will arise during closing. I highly recommend working with Matt for your real estate needs.
We worked with Mickey for about 5 months. Initially, we were looking in the city but then needed to look an hour out in the suburbs. The whole time Mickey was responsive around the clock and always willing to do what ever was needed to ensure our needs were met. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. He is courteous, professional, and will always have your best interest in mind.
If you are a first-time home buyer, the whole process will overwhelm you. We were in the same boat. Matt helped us guide through the process and answered all our questions each time we meet him. He was patient and did not pressure us in closing any house. He accommodated our needs, and showed us places securely during the spring COVID months. Matt has a good small team and all of them work hard. All the contacts he helped us with in the closing process delivered 100% and on time. Matt gives you straight forward answers with no sugar coating. In beginning, this may alarm you, but if you are making a big investment for your home, you want someone like him to not agree with everything you say. Our best wishes to Matt and his company.
When my wife and I were ready to purchase our first home here in Chicago, we didn t have much of a network to ask about finding a relator since we were new to the city. Instead we did our homework online, and found Matt via his website, and the incredible amount of positive reviews on Redfin, Zillow, Yelp, Google, Facebook etc. Since our relator would quite literally be representing us, it was essential that we work with an experienced professional, and that is exactly what we found in Matt and all the staff at the Matt Laricy Group. We honestly could not have been happier with our decision, and we will look to Matt when buying or selling in the future.
Matt is an uber professional, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. Perhaps most striking about him is how responsive he is to calls and emails. In our neighborhood, houses sell within 24 hours of being listed, so having someone so accessible and on it was very reassuring. Secondly, Matt is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the Chicago market, and guided us through not just finding the right home, but also navigating the tedious portions of the buying process like the inspection, financing, titling, etc. We can t say enough about how polished and professional Matt is. He always had a suit and tie on, was punctual, and was always prepared for our phone conversations and in-person meetings. I took these qualities for granted until our final walk through when the seller s relator showed up late wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts, without keys to the unit, and a bunch of excuses for making us wait while he ran back to office for the correct keys. We were nearly late to closing because of that, and I remember talking to my wife on the drive over about how happy we were to have someone like Matt on our side.
The bottom line is, if you are looking for a hard-working, professional, and experienced relator, you simply can t do better than Matt. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago, and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

Matt and his team are a pleasure to work with and made the entire process very easy. Matt is extremely experienced, well connected and informed but best of all he is extremely honest and blunt, which is refreshing when so many real estate agents always seem to be in sales mode (Matt will just straight up tell you if a unit is overpriced, or a building has a bad reputation, etc). He also has great recommendations for attorneys and lenders, introducing me to a better lender than the one I had chosen independently relatively late in my process who saved me a substantial amount of points for the same rate and closed in just over a week (and an attorney who was great from the beginning).
I'd highly recommend Matt to anyone currently in the real estate market in any way (P.S. -- check out his podcast (The Matt Laricy Project) as well, it's very informative and interesting, especially for first-time buyers such as myself).
I just closed on my second apartment in Chicago with Matt s assistance, and I had to write a review of Matt and - just as importantly - his team (Jamie Price & Mickey Hobson). These days, great service is something that cannot be taken for granted and when you work with Matt, you can be rest assured that SERVICE is what you're going to get.
It starts with Matt's knowledge of the Chicago area and his knowledge of everything about the process of buying/ selling real estate in Chicago. He knows how to negotiate the right price, who can help provide services to close quickly and efficiently, and anything else that might make your life easier. Then the closing process is meticulously managed by Jamie which allows you to go on with your normal life throughout what would otherwise be a pretty stressful process.
Matt, thank you and your team for everything. I'm definitely going to use your services again next time.
We just moved to Chicago and were determined to find the best realtor to work with. I did some research and found Matt Laricy. After meeting with him, he immediately went to work to schedule showings. He found us a place that was off-market that we fell in love with. Matt is the hardest worker we know and it's no surprise why he is the best of the best in Chicago. You will not be disappointed in working with Matt. He gets things done, no questions asked. He went above and beyond our expectations, and we will work with him again in the future.
Best agent ... best team! It was our lucky day when we began to work with The Matt Laricy Group to find a home for the first time in many years. Matt knows the Chicago market like nobody else. Things can move very quickly - he's on top of every detail. Matt negotiated aggressively for us, definitely beyond our expectations. I can't say enough about his extremely competent, strong, yet kind manner.
Matt and his hard-working, responsive team make it a pleasure to buy property in Chicagoland. We are so happy with our new condo. I give this real estate group my highest recommendation!
The whole process from start to finish was incredibly efficient and well managed. I live more than hour away from the home I was selling and Matt & Jamie took care of every detail for me. Sold in two days at full price! Can't ask for more than that. Highly recommended!
Mickey is FANTASTIC! I could not have had a better experience working with him. Above everything else, he was honest and genuinely cared that I get a place that was a good fit for me (even if it was a less expensive place which likely meant less profit for him). His market analysis reports were thorough and well thought out, he was incredibly timely with all communication (no matter what time I emailed him, he always responded practically right away!), and his insights were valuable in helping me find my first home. He thought to ask questions I never would have. Overall, Mickey made a process that was seemingly very scary very easy, and I can't thank him enough for that. I will definitely use Mickey on all future real estate transactions and look forward to working with him again!
Matt Laricy and his team are the best of the best in the world of Chicago realty! My husband and I have worked with them both as buyers and sellers and our experiences have been nothing short of 100% satisfaction. Overall, Matt is super focused, efficient, and professional. His team is an impressively-oiled machine, and they work around the clock to get the deal done. Every aspect of the Matt Laricy Group is detail-oriented and thoroughly thought out. They are excellent communicators, master strategists, and Matt's knowledge of the Chicago market is unparalleled. He exudes confidence and loyalty. We recommend working with the Matt Laricy Group without hesitation - we promise you won't be disappointed!
Matt Laricy and his group were fantastic to work with. Matt was very responsive, gave great advice, and had a lot of expertise regarding different buildings in the area. He has also built a strong network to make each step of the process quick and easy. A HUGE thank you to the Matt Laricy Group for your help and guidance!
I started my search for a condo with minimal knowledge on how the home buying process works. Matt and his team sat down and walked me through the entire process and gave time estimates on each step. Matt sent Tyler to help me, who was very thorough and sent a ton of condos that matched what I was looking for/within price range. He made himself available everyday and was always able to book showings the very next day. We saw many condos in a 3 weeks span and Tyler acted in a professional manner each day we saw him. Even among the COVID-19 pandemic, Tyler was able to meet with me and show me places. Jamie was great in finalizing details and sending everything both the seller and I needed in a timely manner. I am so grateful I used the Matt Laricy Group to purchase my first condo and highly recommend them to anyone.
Nothing but great things to say about Matt and his team! He is a true professional and was just as responsive as he promised he would be throughout the entire process. My husband happened to catch one of the showings where one of Matts team members was showing the place; he showed up in a suit and tie (just as Matt had said he would) looking ten times more professional than the other agent who showed up in cargo shorts. We were incredibly impressed with the team and will continue to recommend them to all of our friends.
Matt did an outstanding job for me when I was buying my second condo and I will definitely engage him for every future transaction. He responded to all questions/concerns/follow-ups nearly instantaneously (I don t know when he sleeps!). Matt s advice and guidance was stellar (he s a no-nonsense kind of guy). His unique knowledge about the area and condo buildings definitely helped me ensure I was making the right decision. Matt handled a very difficult seller with exceptional professionalism. Matt even stayed with me when I walked away from my dream condo at one point because of an issue I was not willing to accept without negotiation (which the seller was not originally willing to discuss). Thanks to Matt, we closed the deal on my dream condo with a reasonable compromise.
Matt was recommended to us by some friends and having him represent us in the search for our first house was one of the best decisions in retrospect. He is very responsive, patient, extremely hard-working and honest with his opinion which went a long way especially when we had no experience buying a property before. He runs a very cohesive, closely knit team and we had a great experience interacting with each one of them during different times of our search. The process between putting an offer to closing was seamlessly handled by Matt's team and his recommendations for lawyers and lenders were top-notch. We have no doubt that Matt will continue to be one of the most successful brokers in the Chicago area and recommend him to everyone.
If Matt and his team can't get the sale done, no one can.
Matt and his team provided updates on my sale before I even thought to ask. The team was extremely responsive and understood that selling a home can be a stressful experience. Not only did they find me a buyer within a month of listing my place, but they also managed to get the deal done a day early (in spite of the buyer nearly dropping the ball). Matt's a strong negotiator and definitely the best in the biz because he focuses on customer service and leverages technology like no one else out there.
This year was not a sellers year, but with Matt on my side, it was for me.
Thanks team!
We used Matt for our purchase 3 years ago and our simultaneous sale and purchase this year which he and his team were able to pull off even in the slow winter months. I strongly recommend Matt for his responsiveness, candidness and dedication to his clients.
Matt helped me buy my first home. He is super professional in many levels. He was very honest and straightforward which helped me a lot in my decision-making process. Very organized and very punctual. I felt like he was really on my side and considered my benefits rather than just trying to sell me a condo. To him professional relationships and networking was far more important than his personal benefits. He's very easy to work with and I highly recommend him to everyone out there looking for a home as he made the process pleasant and very quick.
We're very impressed by Matt and his group. They're extremely responsive, attentive and detail-oriented. They're willing to offer additional help along the selling process. Especially, they do an extremely good marketing job, utilizing various social media platforms. I have to say, they're very professional. Also, Matt has a good understanding of foreign culture. This not only facilitates the conversation between us but also helps when he talks to potential customers outside the state. Of course he also has a good master of local market. Overall, we're very happy with his service and would definitely go for him if we need to buy a property in Chicago.
Matt was very easy to work with. He's always professional, returns calls/emails promptly, shows up on time, and if he can't personally make it to something, he makes sure someone else from his team is there to meet you.
Most importantly, matt had great insight into market pricing, and his solution or suggestions to any pricing wasn't simply "spend more" as some realtors will tell you to do, just so they can get the commission.
After working with Matt, you can tell he does things the right way, because he wants you to trust him and he wants to work with you in the future.
After using Matt as our buying agent, we're definitely going to use him again in the future, when the time is right.
My husband and I contacted Matt after he was recommended by a friend. During our initial meeting, Matt quickly demonstrated his knowledge, expertise, and passion for real estate. Although we had a few initial meetings with other realtors, Matt was the only realtor that we walked away from feeling confident in his abilities to guide us through the home buying process. Matt was extremely responsive, honest, and ensured our first-time home buying process was seamless! He takes incredible pride in his work and providing his customers with the best service possible. Even though we just purchased our first home, my husband and I have already agreed that we'll be using Matt's firm again when the time comes to invest in future properties or sell our current home! Going with The Matt Laricy Group was the best choice we could've made throughout the home-buying process!
Matt and his team recently helped me sell my townhome in University Village. Selling a home is a very stressful process, but Matt and his team managed the entire process seamlessly. I have been party to five real estate transactions in my life and in terms of real estate agents, this was by far the best experience I have had.
I communicated mostly with Jamie Price in regards to day-today administrative matters and she consistently provided me with timely notices and responses. Jamie is abnormally nice and pleasant to deal with (that s a good thing). Matt was always available for any general concerns or questions, and he always provided me with honest and insightful responses. Matt also regularly provided me with updates regarding interest in my property and the state of the market. I moved across the country to California before we closed on this property, but Matt s team kept me well informed and involved throughout the process.
Beyond the exceptional service I received, I noticed a few things that set Matt s team apart from most other real estate agencies. They really sell your place. They will actively market your property on various social media sites and offer staging services. Also, an agent from Matt s team will always be personally present at every showing (no use of lock boxes with these guys) and they will be dressed professionally, not in some standard suit and tie uniform, but quite fashionably. This might be a little thing, but I felt as though the perception of my property was enhanced, as the people representing it always looked professional and tasteful. This may not be important to everyone, but it is an example of their effort and attention to small details. To top it off, Matt was a shrewd negotiator when the offers finally started coming in. I credit him for selling our place without much in way of repair credits or other buyer credits.
Working with Matt, Mickey, and Jamie was wonderful. They helped us every step of the way and were very professional and friendly. We found exactly what we were looking for thanks to them. Highly recommend this group!!!
Matt is an absolute pleasure to work with! He was extremely responsive and very knowledgeable about the Chicago neighborhoods and market. Matt did a great job helping us in our search and provided excellent recommendations along the way. He always shared his honest thoughts and provided great insight on whether or not a unit matched our needs/preferences which made the decision process really easy. His team was very accommodating and worked to set up appointments that best fit our schedule. Matt did a fabulous job negotiating and made the sale process painless and even enjoyable! We would hands down recommend Matt to any of our friends and family. Thanks for all of your help, Matt! We are so excited to move into our new home.
Matt made everything as easy as possible and provided great advice the entire way. Would recommend to anyone, buying or selling.
We just closed on our first home; a condo in Ravenswood. We could not have been happier with Matt and his team. They have always been helpful, accessible, and ready to answer questions every step of the way (even post close)! Highly recommend him and his team to others shopping in Chicago.
Matt helped us navigate a multiple bid situation (and win!) and then a quick close to follow. Everyone he works with from lenders to attorneys were top notch recommendations and he made this first time experience for us stress-free and enjoyable. The bar has been set high, and we feel so lucky to have worked with the Matt Laricy Group!
Matt and his team helped us sell our house for the second time. And all I can say is thank you for all that you do! You and your team are truly exceptional. We worked with Matt and his team on several transactions. Our last transaction was selling our Town home. We told Matt we were relocating and he got his team out to work. within 48 hrs we listed our house, within a week we had an open house and an offer, of course we turned it down. but within a few moths we sold our place and were on our way to the west coast. Matt and his team were on top of everything managing everything for us. I cannot say enough about Matt and his team except you will be in excellent hands!
Matt and his team were a bright light in our home-buying experience. Even with a deep client list, the team was there for meetings and to answer questions so promptly that you would think you were their only client. Matt was able to get us our dream home within a few showings and was there with us until closing. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Matt and his team have been the best realtor I've worked with. When I had issues selling my place with my previous realtor, Matt gave me the honest feedback and instruction I needed to get the job done, and he did! His knowledge and expertise to his craft are seriously unmatched. I would 100% work with Matt again, and recommend him without question! There are not enough kind words I could say.
We are first time home buyers who were recommended to Matt and couldn't give a higher recommendation for others looking for a realtor. We were motivated to purchase, and Matt and his team got us under contract for our home within a week of our first meeting. From the very start, Matt and his team were extremely responsive and helpful and provided great detail and insight about the process. There was always someone available to answer our questions and to help us out with whatever popped up, and it truly was an incredible level of responsiveness from Matt and his team. They were available to answer anything from big picture questions to small random questions we had pop up, of which there were many since this was our first home purchase. After we have closed, we still say that we are amazed how easy the entire process was from start to finish, and that is definitely due to Matt and his team. Again, couldn't give a higher recommendation.
Thank you Matt, Jamie, Lisa and other team members helping us to sell our condo in Chicago. Our condo was closed today.
We knew Matt from internet. We choose him as our selling agent is not because he is top selling real estate agent in Chicago, because he is very open and honest. During our first conversation, he explained to us very clearly about market trend, entire process and guided us step by step.
Matt and his team worked tirelessly showing our condo, following up and providing updates. Whenever we called them or sent message to them, they were always there. Matt and his team are very professional and have all the resources to make process very smooth.
Matt and his team are the best in Chicago!!!
Matt Laricy is all that he promises to be. From his knowledge of the downtown Chicago housing market to his responsiveness and personal care of his clients, his service is next to none. We found Matt through reviews just like this and we were not disappointed. He exceeded our every expectation and was patient with us as we pursued our dream of finding a second home (the perfect condo) in the River North area of downtown Chicago. With Matt, dreams really come true. He showed us properties within our price range and specifications (although many!) efficiently and with lots of background knowledge of the buildings themselves, their management companies and activity around them such as new construction. He spent countless time with us on summer weekends at our convenience viewing 7 to 8 units at a time. Given our busy work schedules, his dedication to flexibility was amazing. He takes a personal interest in his clients and ensures the experience is enjoyable, efficient and smooth. Matt is a well connected and recognized real estate agent and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a place in downtown Chicago. You will enjoy the experience!
Matt was knowledgeable and professional and kept me updated throughout the process. Highly recommend!
I randomly found Americorp LTD online while searching for a Chicago condo from 500 miles away. I had been talking to a few realtors but I remember Matt was not "pushy". He offered to meet me in person to get a better idea of what I was looking for.
Shortly after our first conversation, I told him I would fly down from Minneapolis to see a few properties. I would be remiss not to mention how impressed I was listening him talk to the seller's realtor. Instantly, I trusted that he had my best interest in mind. I decided to have Matt represent me that day.
Matt Laricy continued to prove he was an incredibly talented Real Estate Broker. His exceptional knowledge of the downtown Chicago market, connections in the industry, creativity and tenacity made my state to state move a virtually stress-free experience.
Additionally, Matt has seamlessly assembled the perfect team within The Matt Laricy Group. Every single person that contacted me thru this buying process knew their role and got things done! This has resulted in my dream of a state-to-state move coming true!
Countless thanks to the Matt Laricy Group!
We utilized Matt and his team for both the sale of our condo and the purchase of a new condo. They exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn t have been happier with the results. Matt and his team were responsive, organized and thorough. Their extensive use of technology was critical in creating a collaborative forum for exchanging information, schedules and dialogue. From the initial meeting, his knowledge of the market conditions, buying patterns and marketing our condo for sale were outstanding. His referrals for staging, painting and anticipatory repairs for any inspection were all excellent. The team s communication was frequent and informative, and they were reachable at any time. They were always willing to listen to our concerns or suggestions, but wouldn t hesitate to exert their expertise where appropriate.
On the buy side of our relationship, Matt knew at least 95+% of the other realtors, areas, and buildings of the city that we were interested in. While providing a significant amount of information on what was available, he was still able to highlight items that met our specific needs and wants. He was able to understand what we were looking for even if we couldn t articulate things precisely.
We felt, at all times, that we were working with a professional and business-minded organization. Yet, we also felt that they were looking out for our best interests, and had our ultimate satisfaction as a priority.
We d highly recommend Matt and The Matt Laricy Group!!!
Matt came recommended to us from a coworker who had nothing but praise for Matt's energy and expertise. After working with Matt on the recent sale of our home, we are in total agreement. From the initial interview to closing day, Matt and his staff made the whole process very easy for us. We lived offsite from the property, but that was never an issue for us. Matt was spot on with the selling price, always very responsive to our questions, and able to negotiate the price that we wanted. We appreciated Matt's professionalism from start to finish.
Mickey was great in guiding me through my first time home buyer process. Communication throughout the purchase was consistent and prompt. Will definitely hit him up again for future real estate engagements.
Hands down, Matt and his team are the best realtors in Chicago. After shopping around with 4 other options I choose Matt. He is very clear with what to expect and worked hard to help me not only find a place, but work through the issues that came up to make sure we closed on time.
Matt was great to work with. He has so much valuable knowledge about real estate in Chicago. I enjoyed working with him in the whole process from beginning to end.
This is the second time I purchase property through Matt Laricy and Americorp. He is quick to respond to your concerns and is knowledgeable about the business and real estate in Chicago. He also has a great team.
The force is indeed strong with Matt Laricy and Americorp.
Matt and his team made everything a seamless process. Photos and virtual tour looked great and had an accepted offer in less than a week on market. Would absolutely go with them again next time we're looking to buy or sell.
Matt and his team were great to work with throughout the process. My wife and I were first time homebuyers and from the get go, Matt was willing to walk us through the process so there were no mysteries. He was happy to meet with us early on to talk about what we liked and didn't - even when we were several months out from actually buying. He was honest and knowledgable in his assessments of properties and neighborhoods. And it was an easy decision to work with him.
When we were ready to buy, Matt and his team were super helpful. Matt worked with us to tour places, provide feedback, and ultimately crafted our winning offer. It was a competitive bidding process, but Matt was excellent at helping us determine what amount would be strong but not excessive. Ultimately we won out.
And through the closing process, Matt's recommendations were great. Jamie in their office was always incredibly helpful. They're super organized and stay on top of things so there's never any questions.
I can't recommend highly enough.
Matt and his team were absolutely fantastic. The professionalism, thorough and personal treatment were beyond any expectation. His knowledge of the city made my search efficient and yet left no stone unturned.
Extremely knowledgeable about local market conditions, responsive at all times to any inquiries I might have. Matt and his team were very easy to work with in all steps throughout the sales process.
Matt and his team: Amy, Maggie, Chuck and others are very deserving of the positive reviews you see here. They are highly motivated, knowledgeable, responsive and really get the job done. Matt and his team got our condo under contract in 6 days after listing. I highly recommend you seek out their services if you want your place sold quickly and done right. I was a first time seller and they made the process smooth.
Matt is our buyer's agent. He has exceeded all our expectations. He not only shows us properties but also sends us articles to help us understand the housing market and trend. He is extremely responsive, efficient and organized. With his help and guidance we successfully selected a house. We would highly recommend him for any real estate services for anyone who is in need of buying or selling a house.
This was the second time I have used Matt & his team; originally when I bought a property in 2012 and then again when I sold this year. His team is very professional, and communicated in a timely manner. I felt confident in relying on his expertise. The condo was on the market for less than a week, so they certainly know how to present & network the location to other realtors. Great experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago.
Matt is a consummate pro. One of the most impressive realtors I've met. He did a terrific job marketing and selling my condo. Highly recommend him.
My partner and I recently purchased a condo through Matt. We had been passively looking at places for over a year before we started working with Matt. Multiple agents had showed us places we had seen online, but after each showing we left feeling like we knew more about the unit and surrounding area than the agent. This was frustrating as we were looking for someone who really knew Chicago, each building, and any information we couldn t find ourselves online. From the very beginning, Matt was that agent. When Matt showed us a place, he knew the history and details about the building only an insider could know. He knew where to look for shortcuts in construction and other building details we would have easily overlooked. He understood the area better than anyone, and talked to us about the history of the area, the current market, and where he thought the market was headed. He always responded to our emails within a few hours and we honestly felt like we were the only clients Matt was working with. I have no idea how he does it. We found a place we loved shortly after we started working with Matt. He helped us negotiate a price much lower than the asking price and walked us through every step of the closing process. Matt and his staff kept on top of every aspect of the closing and made sure our first time home buying process was seamless and even enjoyable. I would highly recommend Matt if you are looking for someone who is extremely knowledge about Chicago s different neighborhoods, detailed information about each condo building/development, market trends, and construction quality. We couldn t be happier about our home buying experience with Matt.
Fantastic experience all the way through the home-buying process. Matt is impeccable, patient, and a stalwart advocator for his clients. His team is amazing at helping us stay on track and giving us the resources needed. Matt and team deserve all of the five star ratings. I would absolutely look to working with them in the future.
Matt is extremely accessible and his team is very willing to work with my own personal schedule. I appreciate the quick response time and the insightful information he gives me before I even know that I need it. I will always recommend his professional services!
My wife and I are so happy that we found Michael. From the very first meeting, where he sat us down and explained everything we would ever need to know about buying a house in two hours, right to the end when we closed on a house better than we could ever have hoped for, he walked us through every single step of the process.
Best realtor I've worked with. Matt personally responded within minutes of requesting information on his website. He met with me the next day and spent an hour going over his experience, recommendations for my property, and strategies him and his team would use to help the property sell. He presented detailed research on the area and current market, giving an educated recommendation on asking price. Within three days of the property being on market, I had an offer. By the end of the week we had a contract. His team continued to consistently communicate with me, keeping me posted on where we were at in the closing process. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for a honest, professional realtor that will make you feel like you are his only client, this is your guy.
Listed our River North condo March 6th and closed May 15th in the middle of a pandemic this is really all you need to know regarding the expertise of The Matt Laricy Group. Matt Laricy, along with assistant Jamie Price, and all who had a hand in this transaction were professional, organized, responsive and resourceful every step of the way. From developing our eye-catching listing using the best photography and video personnel, tracking and reporting interest activity, to completing the many tasks necessary among a multitude of parties once securing our buyer, The Matt Laricy Group s practices and attention to detail were exceptional. Having received three good offers overall, this sale had just the right amount of positive tension and Matt led us through skillfully. Writing a review comes easily when it is well-deserved and so without hesitation, we highly recommend The Matt Laricy Group for all your real estate needs. This Group will never disappoint.
Matt and his team were brought to me as a recommendation from VERY experienced home buyers (ex-military that have moved more times than they care to think about), so I trusted the recommendation, and I was absolutely not disappointed.
They are extremely knowledgeable and available. Matt knows the game and how to play. He knew when and how to push the right buttons and get me what I needed. One of the best things I can say is that Matt made me feel like I was his only client, although I know they are busy. He was always available and always answered or called back immediately. My purchase happened months ago and he still takes my calls to give me advice. Couldn't ask for more.
If I buy or sell again, I'm calling the Laricy Group.
Being my first home purchase, I was overwhelmed with the process. Matt, however, made the process simple, streamlined, and enjoyable. His team works together seamlessly to provide the best service for his clients. With his years of experience, he was able to point out aspects of properties that I would never have thought of. He knew the difference between every material within a property whether it was cheap or high end. He knew the planned developments around the properties (e.g., whether a building would block the view, whether developments around the area will likely raise the value, etc.), the history of the areas, and the potential of the properties. What stood out the most is that Matt cared more about finding the best place for me than the most expensive place, even though he was paid based off the purchase price (as is every agent). For example, he actually ended up convincing me that purchasing at the lower end of my price range, instead of the top, was a smarter idea since I would likely move within the next 5-7 years. While he would point out the positives of each place, he would also point out all the negatives. Additionally, as new to the city, he was able to provide me with excellent movers, painters, contractors, and everything you could think of making it a truly one-stop-shop. Even after closing, he has maintained contact to make sure everything is alright and to answer any questions I may have. In conclusion, I do not think there is a better agent in the city of Chicago. I know he will always be my one and only recommendation to all of my friends, and I will use him in my future sales and purchases.
Matt and his team were fantastic. Matt met with me personally in October to get to know our needs and wants in a new condo. Emails for new places came almost daily, and when we found places we liked, his team communicated with us promptly to answer questions and set up showings. Our bid process was easy as well. We were intimidated at the prospect of buying real estate in a new city, but Matt and his team were friendly, professional, and made it easy.
Matt and his team were awesome. We were doing a long distance sale and Matt got our condo listed/sold quickly. He s a to the point guy and was honest about what our place was worth which set our expectations. He explained everything thoroughly and worked to get us more than we expected. The team also has great marketing resources. Matt and his team were professional, responsive, and efficient. They made selling our place a seamless process. I would 100% recommend using Matt for your real estate needs!
Do not have one negative thing to say about my experience with Matt & his top-notch team. He made me feel like I was his only client (believe me, that is far from true!) and was able to win me my dream home in a bidding war! He was patient in answering all questions, and provided excellent guidance all along the way.
Matt was a great help for me and my wife in the search for our first home in Chicago! He listened to everything we wanted and only showed us properties we would potentially be interested in. From start to end through the closing, Matt and his team were just a phone call away and able to help coordinate and guide us the whole way, very impressed with their professionalism through out
Matt and his team facilitated a smooth sale and closing for me remotely, of a property that was tough to sell. I would recommend him and his team for their expertise and effectiveness. In addition, they are all super responsive, which I appreciated.
As a first-time homebuyer, Mickey was extremely helpful in walking me through each step in the process. He was also willing to show me a variety of places all over the city, sometimes on short notice, as I narrowed down my choice. He also kept me calm as we overcame uncooperative sellers. Thank you Mickey!
I cannot say enough nice things about Matt and his team! He was above and beyond mine and my fiance's expectations. My fiance travels for work Monday-Thursday and at the time I was studying for a board exam meaning our schedules were hectic and difficult to coordinate. Matt always put our time above his own; whether that meant asking a colleague to help us with a showing or last minute rearrangements of his own schedule we were always able to see the condos we wanted to, on a schedule that worked for us. We are so thankful and indebted to Matt and his team as we found and closed on our perfect condo in just 2 short months! Not only did Matt help us find our perfect home but he also introduced us to the greatest lender and real estate attorney Chicago has to offer! Thank you a million times over, Matt! We are so happy you are so great at your job.
Matt & his team were the only people we trusted with our first-time home buying experience. Matt is knowledgeable, straight-forward and had our best interest in mind through the whole process. If we called him with a question, he called back after already finding an answer or solution. We won a multiple bit situation and got our dream condo thanks to his guidance and persistence.
Once our offer was accepted, Jamie and the rest of Matt's amazing team stepped in and took care of everything. This is an intimidating process for first-time home buyers and they took us step-by-step through everything. Matt & Jamie were always available to answer our questions and it couldn't have gone more smoothly!
The Matt Laricy Group is a team filled with detail-oriented professionals. Matt, Joe, and Jamie were amazing to work with.
Matt and his staff answered all of our questions, worked well with the lawyers and seller's realtor to make this process go really smoothly. We were even able to close a week early!
Jamie is incredibly organized and an excellent communicator. We always knew where we needed to be and what we were seeing. If the schedule shifted, we knew. If we weren t able to see a unit, we knew. There were never any surprises. When an emergency arose and we were unable to attend our appointments, she shifted them all to the following day on short notice. She even made it seem like it was no big deal and easy to do.
Matt went above and beyond in every aspect of this process. He walked us through lots of condos so that we could get a sense for different options to help us set priorities for what was really important for us. He would let us form our own opinions, but was willing to share his perspective too. He reads a ton about new developments and keeps up to date on everything going on in the city. He is very knowledgeable about the city and changes that might be happening. He kept an ear open for units that might be coming on the market and reached out to his colleagues to see if anything meeting our needs was going to become available. I really can't say enough about how great it was to work with Matt. He made us feel like we were his top priority every time we talked or met. Finally, he's just a really nice guy who was genuinely interested in finding us a home.
John and I can t recommend Matt and the Matt Laricy group enough!
Simply put, Matt and his team are the best. The reviews and all of the great things are all true. Matt helped us with the sale of our condo, and throughout the entire process, we felt well-taken care of. Matt and his team are always on the ball and communicative at every point, offering amazing guidance and insight.
I truly felt that I was in the best hands possible working with Matt, and will continue to refer anyone who asks his way.
This review is long overdue. As my husband and I reflect on all the wonderful things we are thankful for this 2016, it goes without saying that we could not be happier that we bought our first home! However, this would not have been possible (at least not without the headaches) without Matt and his team. When Matt is working with you, you feel as though you are the only client. He provided personalized attention and was very responsive to our needs (even when that meant an email during the middle of the night for a random thought I may have). Matt is extremely pleasant and cheerful, but even more important than those characteristics (and what stands him out above the rest), is how knowledgeable he is! During each of our showings, it was evident that he was better prepared than the selling agents quoting from the market, recent data, value appreciation/depreciation, community, neighborhood .everything! This is definitely an agent you want on your side. Thank you, Matt!
Matt and his team helped me find and purchase a condo as a first-time home buyer. They are efficient, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. Matt truly is on top of the game and is an absolute expert on real estate in Chicago. I look forward to working with Matt and his team again in the future and thank them for making the home buying process so smooth.
Matt and his team are absolutely incredible. We bought our condo a couple of years ago with him and had zero hesitation turning to him when it came to selling this summer. He talked us through what the process of selling would look like and More
Matt and his team were a dream to work with. My husband and I were selling our Chicago condo from out of state and this was our first time selling a home. Matt made the whole process from start to finish a breeze! Jamie was just as much a part of this process- we couldn't say enough good things about her! All around wonderful experience working with the Laricy team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!***
Matt and his team were absolutely excellent. They were easy to communicate with and extraordinarily responsive. Great marketing strategy for the property, sold quickly.
