CHRISTINE WILCZEKWhat People Are Saying About

{15}E L I T E708-420-2424 direct www.CHRISTINEWILCZEK.com 630-243-9500 office

Dear Christine,

It seemed as if our lives were turned upside down for many months physicallyand emotionally during the hectic time of selling and buying a home and goingthrough the actual move! Now that the boxes are unpacked- (mostly!) and thedust has settled, we want to write you a very belated thank you note.

We would like to thank you for your diligence and professionalism in listing,showing and selling our house. Not only are you educated about the housingmarket in general, but know specifically about the value of homes in Lemontand will not settle on less just to "close the deal"! Your communication andkeeping us constantly abreast of the situation was phenomenal. Sometimes thatmeant several phone calls a day but you always did whatever it took.

Your ability to clearly and calmly communicate with all parties was key. Sellinga home becomes very emotional, but you knew how to minimize what wasn'timportant and emphasize what needed to be. It was a pleasure working withyou throughout the process. You gave us a feeling of comfort that all the detailswould be attended to and we welcomed your promptness in addressing ourquestions.

Feel free to use us as a referral anytime. So sorry again for the delay. Hope allis well.

Thanks for everything!

Ron and Carol ArianaSellers of 63 Stone Creek - Equestrian Estates - Lemont

To Whom It May Concern:

I want to express my gratitude to Christine Wilczek. She is truly a gem in the realestate world that is crumbling as I'm writing this. Christine went above andbeyond anything I ever expected a real estate agent to do. My family and I listedour home about 6 months ago. We had an offer within a few weeks (because ofthe amazing advertising on our home) that ended up falling through, obviouslydue to reasons that were completely out of Christine's control. She was patient,understanding and really made us feel at ease during that disappointing time.

Fast forward 5 months and we have another offer. After agreeing on a price,things seemed to be going smoothly. The close was going to be relatively quick(about a month after the offer) but we had plenty of time to get everything takencare of. Less than 2 weeks before our scheduled closing date, we were informedthat the buyer's lender had done a "drive by" appraisal and we appraised forless than our sale price. Christine literally went above and beyond her call ofduty. She was on the phone demanding a "real" appraisal. In this market,especially in the Lemont area, a drive by appraisal is just unacceptable andChristine made that very clear to the lender. They agreed to schedule a newappraisal but by now, we were only a week away from closing. Her relentlesscalling resulted in a "rush" appraisal being ordered. Bright and early Saturdaymorning (6 days before we were scheduled to close), with a smile on her face,Christine was at our house ready to meet the appraiser. He told her the resultswould be in on Monday. Christine made 8 phone calls on Monday trying to getthe results. Christine knew that obviously my husband and I were nervous at thispoint seeing that the "drive by" appraisal came in lower than our agreed uponsale price. Tuesday came along and Christine continued her pursuit by making18 phone calls. Finally, after several more phone calls on Wednesday, she

received the results of the appraisal (which came in where it needed to). At thispoint, the buyer had to file for an extension on the closing, which resulted in usfiling an extension on our new home. By Friday of this week (the day we wereoriginally scheduled to close), the buyer still didn't have a clear to close andChristine never stopped making call after call after call on our behalf. Mondaycame around and her calls began again. We are finally scheduled to close onThursday and I honestly believe that without Christine, this would not behappening.

Throughout this entire process, Christine has been absolutely amazing. She hasnever made me feel like I'm bothering her (and believe me ... I called her a lot!),she has been calm, reassuring, sympathetic (we have two very young childrenand living out of boxes is not pleasant), and just plain wonderful. She called meat 8:00 pm one night, with her kids in tow, to let me know she finally heard backregarding something we were waiting on. It's as if her work day never ends! Herdedication to her clients is outstanding! She is a go-getter and WILL get the jobdone. I can't imagine going through this process with anybody else. The realestate world is a mess right now but is does have a shining star in Christine. Icannot thank her enough for everything she has done for my family and I. Hercommitment to her job, compassion for what she does and who she represents,and understanding of the fact that people's lives are involved throughout thiswhole process is just one piece of what makes Christine one of the top real estateagent in the country! I would recommend Christine in a heartbeat and I feel verylucky that we chose her to sell our home. Thank you Christine!
