Choosing Julie as my real estate agent was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From our very first interaction, she provided truly exceptional "white glove" service that completely blew me away. She was not only incredibly attentive to my specific requests but also proactively sent me detailed, comprehensive information about homes that perfectly matched what I was looking for. Her flexibility with scheduling viewings was a huge help, as she always made sure we could see properties at times that worked best for me. The entire process was seamless, and her professionalism and dedication made me feel completely taken care of. Thanks to her outstanding guidance and support, I didn't just purchase one home with her—I've purchased multiple properties and plan to keep her as my exclusive agent for all my future real estate needs. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly goes the extra mile, you won't find anyone better than Julie.

So happy to have found Julie! We were so lucky to be matched with Julie for our home-search. Julie is super communicative, savvy, and pleasant. We were amazed at how she always seemed to make herself available to us. Our home search was a long one due to being in a very tough market for buyers and she never felt distant, was always checking in with us, and her encouragement kept us going at times. When we got a contract she kept us on track with all the various tasks and timelines. I remember being impressed early in our working with her at how quickly she was able to grasp the type of home that we were interested in as well. Julie and Chris were our anchors through what, at times, was a trying process. You will be in good hands with them!

Julie helped me buy my first home. When I started looking, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. Julie was very patient with me and showed me many different places until I figured out was most important to me. I would definitely recommend her.

JDC Group is amazing! As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions, but Julie was able to help me along the way. My home buying experience was lengthy, but Julie was there to guide me. I truly appreciate their support!

JDC Group was our realtor when we purchased our condo in the South Loop and we were very pleased with their service - so pleased that we asked them to help sell the condo when we were ready to move on eleven years later. What a great experience! With Julie's help we used the COMPASS Concierge service to handle the floor refinishing, painting, and staging with no out of pocket expense. Thanks to Julie's expertise and advice our condo sold in less than two months and we got a great price!

Julie and Chris were great to work with. We have used their services twice now, once to sell and once to buy, and both times we were happy with the results.They are knowledgeable, experienced and very professional. They were able to get us early viewings at a number of homes and this ultimately helped us find the right place for us, and get our offer in first to secure the deal. They are also incredibly warm, friendly and good people. We would recommend them to anyone.

Julie Chesne is amazing. She patiently helped me look for a condo in 2015; I closed in 2016. A decade later, I’ve moved across the country, rented out my condo as an income property, and later sold it, and Julie is still in lockstep with me, advising, overseeing, advocating, fighting, and making sure I get the absolute best deal I can every step of the way. Truly the best realtor I could have asked for.

Thanks to Julie and her team my house sold within a couple of weeks above the asking price. They made the entire process manageable especially since I was moving out of state. I would highly recommend them to anyone either buying or selling a home, you'll never find more committed talented people that really have their clients best interests at heart first and foremost, it's wonderful working with them. Thanks Julie and your team for everything you did for me.

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Chris. As out of state buyers, he was patient and attentive to our schedules and requirements. We really got the sense that finding the right building for us was more important to him than a sale, and we appreciated his obvious shared love of architecture and home details. The professionals he put us in touch with in order to complete our purchase were impeccable, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire any of them again. Chris made an incredibly stressful process bearable, and we are delighted with our new Chicago home. We would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Julie and her team went above and beyond to get us a new home in Chicago. Before, during and after we closed, they were absolutely fantastic. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

The process was painless and so straightforward with her, and she showed genuine concern for all the details of the purchase. I couldn't be happier nor more confident in recommending Julie to anyone and everyone. She made home-buying enjoyable!

She and her team handled every detail. Our sale and closing happened in a month (buyers were pre-MLS listing) and I was trying to coordinate a cross country move at the same time. Julie made it happen, we met all deadlines and she also dealt with all the inevitable bumps in the road that come up. I most certainly would call Julie again and recommend her services if you want to sell fast, smoothly and for top dollar! Verified by RateMyAgent

Above and beyond in every way! Julie was AMAZING. Every step of the way she was there for us. It was obvious her goal was not about getting us into something quick, rather making sure the place we found was right for us. We changed our mind on almost every aspect of the house from area to price point and she was there for us making adjustments along the way to make sure we loved our new place.

Julie has been my real estate agent on multiple transactions now, and she is wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone for both purchases and listings.

As a first time condo buyer, Chris could not have been any more helpful. Right from the beginning he was extremely attentive to my individual home buying situation. When I was looking at places, he was always there. He gave me tips about home buying that I was unaware of due to my lack of experience. He was very personable which made the entire process much more enjoyable for myself. He was thorough and he walked me through the entire process from beginning to end. I was nervous about buying a home and he made me extremely comfortable and well versed in every aspect from looking for a condo to insuring, to financing. He also gave me great recommendations for an inspector, lawyer, and a mortgage lender. Chris was great to work with and I am more than comfortable in calling a friend. I would recommend him to anyone. Great agent and an even better person.

We have been looking to buy a home for a very long time. Chris was extremely helpful, kind, and professional. We highly recommend his services to friends and family who are looking to buy. I wish I could have given him an "11" he was that good. Thanks Chris!

Read More

Chris is absolutely amazing! Quite honestly, a 10 doesn't even begin to accurately rate the level of service that Chris provides - if I could give him a 100 I would. As a first time home buyer, not knowing anything about the process, Chris was always available and patiently happy to answer any question that I had. He definitely looks out for his clients and wants what's best for them. I would recommend Chris to anyone and everyone!

Buying a place for the first time is one of the most stressful things you will ever go through, so it is important to have someone experienced to guide you. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. We were first-time buyers, so he made sure we understood some of the things to look for during the tours, as well as what to ask for during the offer phase. He made himself available at all times for our myriad of questions and meltdowns, and was never pushy. We got a FANTASTIC deal, and we absolutely love our new place. Thanks Chris!!!

Chris was absolutely wonderful! I have already recommended him to others. We spent a significant amount of time together, searching for our perfect space. He was patient and FUNNY! Additionally, Chris is very knowledgable about building structure and things to look for and avoid. Chris recommended our mortgage broker as well as our inspector and they were both top notch! We would not have gotten this highly sought after property if it was not for him. Chris ROCKS!
