KATIE HIMMEL | REVIEWS
top of page

From the beginning, Katie told me and my daughters she was going to get us into a new home no matter what it took, and that she did. Words can’t even describe how grateful I am that she was my realtor. She really has a passion for helping others, and she’s great at her job. I will highly recommend her to everyone moving forward for years to come. Thank you, Katie!

REBECCA

Okay, I'm biased. I mean, she's my wife. But here's the thing... Katie did amazing work for our family. She never slowed down in the effort to find our new home. She found us a place and immediately called me. "You need to come see this. Like, now." I was driving back from visiting a sick friend in Wisconsin, but I happened to be right at the exit. I whipped the car across the lanes of 94 and met her at this great house that would be our home within a month. We made an offer that afternoon. From there, Katie handled everything. Everything. Working with the seller's agent, helping communicate with the lender and everything else that goes into making a huge purchase like this. I was blown away by how on top of things she was, and what an advocate she was for us. What's more is that I've seen her exude the same energy, passion, and care for all of her clients that she showed with our purchase. So, it's not cliché or hyperbole to say that Katie treats her clients like family. Katie is a fighter. Katie is cunning. And all for the benefit of not just her clients' home purchases, but their future lives. She asks important questions and considers the answers when hunting for the right place. And her creative brain works wonders when showing a potential new home because she helps her clients envision the possibilities of what the home can be and how it can be used. Of course, I'd recommend her because she's my wife. But really, I recommend Katie because she's good. Really good. Because she's more than a real estate broker; she's an advisor, a consultant, a friend. And that's what you want when considering the next several years—or more—of your life. You want an advocate for you and your family, and your family's future.

I can not say enough good things about Katie. She went above and beyond to help me sell my home. The market changed just after I listed, and she helped me navigate everything to find the right buyers. She answered all my questions and was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, no matter how small the question. She helped stage, created beautiful lookbooks and collateral, and held numerous open houses to get buyers in. And she did all of this while super pregnant then with a newborn! I am extremely impressed with Katie and her team. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

ANDREA

Katie was absolutely awesome to work with for my condo search. She is professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure. Katie worked EXTREMELY hard for my benefit and I appreciated her input entirely. I was living out of state and she handled my transaction expertly. I would recommend her enthusiastically.

GLORIA

We used Katie to help us find a great home in the suburbs, after living in Chicago for 20+ years. Katie was knowledgeable about the process, kept in constant communication with us, and started with an approach that really helped us identify what was important to us and hone in on our search. If you're looking for someone who can assist you through this process that can be very stressful, will give you honest advice and help keep you sane, Katie is the realtor for you!

KELLY

Katie made the home buying process smooth and fun. She found beautiful homes for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking for a new home.

EVAN

Fantastic to work with! Thoughtful, thorough, and responsive. 

When I started to get discouraged, Katie kept positive and continued to send me listings and schedule tours.

I ended up finding a wonderful condo and Katie was with me through the entire closing process. I can't recommend her more!

ERIN

Throughout our home purchasing process Katie kept a constant active search for homes that met our budget criteria and taste. In this crazy market, there were times where my husband and I were not even sure if we would ever find a home in the Chicagoland area and we changed our search locations several times, but throughout all our changes Katie remained responsive and asked questions to accommodate our search. Once we were under contract, Katie kept constant communication with us and made sure lender and attorneys were also in the loop of all updates to make the process smooth and easy. We closed in just under 3 weeks! We recommend Katie 100%!!!

Katie is a star! I was relocating from LA to Chicago and was looking for a clean and homey space for my family. I was introduced to Katie by a friend and was super impressed by her professionalism, punctuality, and patience. She took our specifications (we had many) and sent us listings every day. Even gave us a virtual tour of a couple of places! Moving from state to state is incredibly stressful but it was such a relief to have someone like Katie on our side. Couldn't recommend more.

FERNANDO

Katie was extremely helpful with my search for a condo, and she assisted me throughout every step of the negotiation and purchase process too. It was a pleasure working with her, and I plan to recommend her to all of my friends and coworkers who will be looking for a place of their own around Chicago.

CHRIS

Katie helped me find an apartment to rent in Chicago this past summer. I was traveling internationally, reviewing listings remotely, and Katie quickly answered all/any questions and toured apartments on my behalf. She sent detailed photos and video tours that helped me get a better feel for the apartment than the listing photos could offer. She even shared photos of the front entrance, stairs, elevator, parking, etc to form a holistic view of the building and living experience. She even guided me through the application process (and approval!) while I was abroad. Coming back from a long trip to a brand new apartment is such a treat, all thanks to Katie!!
