Testimonials and reviews

Living in the area for four years, i was aware of Chris through local publications. His expertise in the area was a main draw as well as his sales experience. The sale of my home actually resulted from an open house. I also received good traffic for the amount of time the home was on the market. I felt Chris was very professional and I relied on his expertise in many areas. He had good recommendations and was open and honest and I appreciated that.

Very pleased he was awsome!

Chris Jacobs is the premier agent for the Inverness/Barrington/Palatine area. Extremely patient, responsive and knowledgeable. We will work with him again and recommend to family and friends.

Chris did an outstanding job at every step of the process. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I would use Chris again.

Sharon Molnar is the most professional and knowledgeable agent in the market

No matter what your situation, I would highly recommend Chris. He is excellent at his job and will not let any detail slide. He sold my house at a fair price in an extremely difficult market. I would tell everyone to use him!

Just from living in the area for a number of years, it is clear that Chris Jacobs sells a lot of homes. What I didn't know until I began working with him was how much work he actually does. He became personally vested in selling my property. I was able to leave my home fully staged and leave in the middle of winter and Chris handled everything, from checking on my home in my absence to keeping me informed with weekly calls and he was realistic and informed. He always asked me on the calls if there was anything he could do for me, to let him know. He handled the inspections, repairs, and closing, all in my absence. I always felt like I knew what was going on. Chris always made me feel that selling my home was a top priority for him when realistically he had others to sell in the same neighborhood. Chris is the probably the 5 or 6 agent I have used in my lifetime. There is no one that makes the kind of personal commitment and used actual statistics and proven techniques to sell my home. I picked him for his track record, despite having a friend who is an agent in the area. That was a hard decision. It proved to be the best decision. I would highly recommend Chris Jacobs to get the job done while earning his commission. Houses do not sell themselves anymore.

We first met Sharon when we called to set up an appointment to see one of your listings. We liked her immediately and wanted to work with her. She responded to our phone calls and text messages immediately. She was also very accommodating when it came to showing us listings we wanted to Sharon was very professional and listed our condo immediately. She sold it within the first week. She had sold a house that we had 30 days prior. Our house has been up on the market for four months with little activity. Sharon sold out within a matter of weeks. Sharon sold two of our properties, and helped us find our forever home. Sharon has been outstanding when it comes to customer service, we recommend her to everyone who’s looking for a realtor.

Chris was phenomenal! He listened to our desires during the pre-planning phase, helped us implement a relevant and effective marketing strategy, responded quickly to all of our many questions, and successfully brought buyer faster than we imagined. We can offer the highest recommendation for his and his team's services!

Chris Jacobs is without a doubt the best realtor we have ever encountered. He is a consummate professional. He was at every showing, found and scheduled every ancillary person whose services were required through the sales process, and met each one at the house. Our experience was stress free because of Chris. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. And...he sold our house in 11 days, while we were out of the country!

chris is one of the best sales professionals i have ever been associated with and i worked in sales for over 40 years. he cared about my wife and me and did everything he could to guide us through a very trying 11 months on the market. he helped us stage our house and even did some minor repairs in the house before closing. if you want the best in inverness, you want chris jacobs. no one else is even close.

Chris is very professional and helpful. He made the transaction very smooth and people tbat he recommended (lawyer, cleaning lady, handyman and tbe carpet cleaner) were all very professional. They all exceeded our expectations. I will recommend Chris Jacobs to all of my family and friends.

Chris did a wonderful job. I believe we had an offer in 6 or 7 days.

It all went very smoothly.

I highly recommend Chris Jacobs and his team, We used Sharon for this sale and could not have been more satisfied.

Chris Jacobs is a terrific Real Estate Agent. Excellent market knowledge combined with the ability to create and execute a quality marketing campaign led to a quick sale of our property. Chris kept us informed every every step of the way until the final check was in the bank. Great job. Thanks

I wish I would have hired Chris when I first put my house on the market as I feel my house would have sold much quicker. But I am thankful that I found Chris and he sold my house in a very short time. Chris is the best.

We selected Chris initially because he had sold several properties on our street, some more than once. We felt confident that he knew the market in our neighborhood . Our experience with Chris was a pleasure from the beginning to the successful closing. He is a consummate professional in every way - always returned calls or e-mails in a timely manner, answered questions in a straight forward way, and fairly assessed the strengths and weaknesses of our property. We felt confident of a good outcome with Chris and it's easy to see why he is the number one realtor in Inverness!

I initially listed my house with another Realtor for three months. They were terrible. In three months they only had 3 showings and only had three Realtors at their open house (I asked where are your Realtor colleagues and friends?) I then retained Chris Jacob of Century 21 Affiliated. Super job right away with review and modification of pricing, photos, house staging, advertising and so on. Once listed It was shown about 20 times in two weeks with seven showing on one Saturday. Ended up with 3 offers. During a painful and drawn out wait for buyers to get the mortgage in place, take care of some inspection issues, and so on, Chris was always on top of it all. Very Professional. Hire Chris if you have a property in or near his sales area.

Chris, when first engaged, told us about his approach and communication approach to us as sellers. Because we moved out of state, we relied on him to help manage all aspects of the sale process. He recommended at home manager that we engaged to help stage and present the house in the best possible way. He kept us informed on other transactions that were affecting our property value in real time. I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone considering either a sale or purchase of a home.
