Karen was wonderful. She took all my requirements and found me my perfect home. She was knowledgeable in all the areas Where I searched. Never showed me something that I would not be interested in. Since I was working at the time she took my schedule and worked all showings within my time frame. As a first time home buyer I needed a bit more guidance and she was always there to answer my questions and address my needs and concerns. She made the searching, buying and closing process easy. She was great and I would recommend her for her knowledge and years of experience.

Karen was competent, knowledgeable, and effective. I had worked with another realtor for 3 months before finding Karen and she was a refreshing change that got my house sold in short order. I would recommend Karen to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home.

Loved the fact that you used a professional photographer to take pictures of the house. I believe that made a big difference. The house sold in 2 days!!

Karen is excellent at buying and selling houses. She is my kind of salesperson! No pressure and she takes time to help you with things that need to be changed to help sell your home. When I am ready to sell, she will be my go to salesperson. She has won many awards and the most important thing is that I trust her.

Karen's professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge of the area are just a few reasons our sale and purchase went so smoothly. Karen gave great advice about staging and what upgrades would facilitate our sale. She found recent comparable sales that ensured we set our price right, and her use of professional photos and a floor plan made our listing stand out from the rest. We had an offer and sold almost immediately! On our purchase, Karen helped negotiate a multiple bid siutation and was instrumental in getting us our dream house. We highly recommend her and can't thank her enough!

Karen is the best! My hubby and I found her through a referral and we couldn’t have been happier. We are first time home buyers so we had nooooo idea what to expect. Karen held our hands through out the whole process! She answered our questions no matter what time we had them, came to show us as many houses we wanted, and after coming across our first home we were interested in, she helped us close and gave us great referrals for a team to help us close in our tight time frame! We couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job! If you’re a first time home buyer, or anyone looking to buy a home, Karen and her team are the best to help in the process. We were so happy to work with them and close on our first home. Thanks for all the help:)

Thanks again, Karen!!

Karen did an excellent job of assisting me with the home search from start to finish. She and her team were very responsive throughout. In the end, I found a highly desirable home in an excellent location. Karen played a significant role in guiding me in the right direction during the negotiation process. After my initial offer was made, the mortgage company's 3rd party appraisal came in lower than my offer price. With Karen's expertise, I was able to negotiate down from my offer price to the appraisal price. Thanks Karen!

I was utterly clueless about the process of selling a house. Karen walked us through and took care of the entire process from pictures, listing, showings, negotiating and closing. We sold our place in days above our expectations! She was also always available to answer questions and offer advice. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to sell !!

Karen Gatta is very knowledgeable in her field. We underestimated how much we could get for our town home and because of Karen's marketing skills, we had 6 offers in under 24 hours of our home being on the market. We closed for more than we expected and the transaction went very smoothly. Karen grew up in the NW Burbs and is familiar with all of the neighborhoods. Karen had a very quick response time to all of our questions via email or phone and has very patient and kind personality to boot.

Karen was fabulous!! Exceeded our expectations on every level.
"
- Laura Moser
"
We used Karen on both ends of our transaction - purchase of new and sale of current. Her patience on the buy was commendable, as we were clearly not certain what we really wanted - other than to get our main living area on one floor. Karen showed us many houses, was very patient, and ultimately we found something that was too good to pass up. On the sale side, we had two offers within eight hours of listing, one of which came from a business associate of hers. She guided us through a competitive bidding process, and we ended up with a great sale price. We would certainly recommend Karen if asked.

Karen and her team could not have been better in helping us find our first home in this crazy market. She went all over the west suburbs with us, giving up several weekends with her family in our search for the perfect home. When we finally found the one, Karen answered all of our questions and worked with us to brainstorm different ideas that would make our offer the most appealing (spoiler: it worked!). Thank you Karen and everyone at the Gatta Group!- Scott and Katelyn

Karen was great to work with. Navigating the selling process was new to me and Karen's experience was very helpful in many ways from understanding the market trends to navigating the negotiating process. We started the process with a walk-through to determine what needed to be updated to help appeal to potential buyers. I believe the small adjustments is what helped the unit sell as quickly as it did. Once we received an offer, Karen helped me to understand the next steps as we worked with lawyers and banks to complete the closing. I would recommend Karen for your real estate buying or selling needs.

Karen Gatta was our agent and displayed exceptional knowledge of our local market. She knew just what to price us at to help facilitate a quick sale and a maximum return on our property. Likewise, when looking for a new home, she knew just what we were looking for and which properties were going to be the hottest and quickest movers and helped keep us on top of the market. Great clear communication and always responsive to texts, calls, emails, you name it. A great experience from top to bottom, both buying and selling.

Karen Gatta is a professional, personable and experienced realtor. She helped us from her first visit with excellent suggestions to properly prepare our home for listing. When we were ready she had great photos taken and wrote a first class description of the pluses of our home. We received multiple offers within 10 days of listing and the sale was completed approximately 5 weeks after listing. We couldn’t have been happier with Karen’s performance and would give her our highest recommendation!
"
- Joseph Bauer Sr

This was truly such a smooth process under Karen! My husband and I are first time home buyers and we had a tight window of time to search, identify and close on a home. Karen worked with us seamlessly on getting all the showings set up in a timely manner (at times slotting in last minute showings for the follow morning), guiding us through the negotiation process once we found our home, and was always available, even late in the evening, to respond to my (many!) questions along the way. We are so happy with our home purchasing experience because of Karen's guidance and support!

This is the fifth time I've used Karen Gatta for my real estate needs. She lead me through sales, purchases, rentals and staging. I can't think of a better testimonial than a five time repeat customer! I also want to comment on the amazing mortgage brokers she has recommended and each particular to the needs of the transaction.

Everything went well, Karen Gatta was great. She is knowledgeable, professional, worked well with my attorney and she really kept me informed. When I contacted her she got back to me in a very timely manner every time.
She also helped me find an apartment which had to be done very quickly given the short 30 day period I had to get to closing. That really eased my mind. I will gladly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor.
