Client Testimonials
I will be eternally grateful to Heidi Drennan. As someone who was completely new to the buying market, Heidi was more than just a real estate agent. She was my guide throughout this process and provided a wealth of knowledge. From the very beginning, I was able to see her passion and dedication to her clients to help them find their dream home. As someone who had little to no knowledge of buying as a first time buyer, Heidi always took the time to walk me through all the necessary details at every point in the process. I had many questions, and Heidi kindly answered them all. Heidi has a vast connection of various real estate industry professionals, all of whom were just as wonderful to work with. Any inspection or estimate I asked to have done, Heidi was able to have all of them scheduled with ease. I needed an attorney, a lender for pre-approval, Heidi had a team set up for me in what seemed like mere minutes. Heidi will work tirelessly for you, and throughout the entire process made me feel like a priority. She and her team felt like a part of the family for the few months we worked together. And at the end of our time together, she helped me find the home of my dreams, one that I did not think I could find as my first home. I highly recommend you work with Heidi. I would work with her again in a heartbeat! - Andrew G.

From the very beginning of my home-buying process to the close, Heidi consistently demonstrated a level of dedication and expertise that exceeded my highest expectations. One of Heidi’s be qualities is her unwavering commitment to looking out for her clients’ best interests.

Her dedication to my satisfaction was evident in every interaction we had, and I felt that she genuinely had my best interests at heart.

Absolutely work with Heidi! She helped me find my first home in Edgewater. She understood what I was looking for and was committed to finding me a place I really loved. As a first time home buyer I felt well-guided at every point in the process, without ever feeling “pushed”. Heidi was great at patiently talking through pros/cons/options, helping me put together offers I was comfortable with, etc. So glad I found Heidi and would work with her again in a heartbeat. - Deanna C.
Heidi helped me find and purchase my first home, here in Rogers Park. I was looking for something unconventional and Heidi listened to my needs and respected my timeline. She was clearly driven by finding the right home for me, not just any home. A great communicator with local knowledge and expertise - I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. - Jody A.
We thank our lucky stars that Heidi Drennan was our Real Estate Agent. She brought calm to a stressful situation and was always there for support. And when we needed help in finding contractors those she recommended were excellent! She is a professional in all ways and is among the best that I've met in my 50 plus years of construction/engineering. - Joe M.
Heidi is the best! Communicative, meticulous, and considerate. This was my first real move, and there was a lot I didn't know – but Heidi had my back through the whole process. She's always on the ball, answering questions and solving problems with enthusiasm and care. Can't recommend her enough! - Jared G.
Moving from Portland Maine back to Chicago after 18 years I could have not asked for a more authentic, genuine, knowledgeable and caring realtor to work with. Heidi was so professional and helpful. She always went the extra mile to help with questions on line, on the phone or in person. She was interested in what area of Chicago and condo would suit me best for my next adventure in life. I am grateful for all the work she did to make my new home a reality. I highly recommend Heidi. - Greg S.
Heidi is simply the best. Grade A communicator and always made my wife and I feel like a priority. She was like a member of the family for the few weeks we worked with her — answering questions, keeping everyone on schedule, and celebrating each step with us. Her rolodex of contractors was mind blowing. We requested various inspections and quotes, and she had them scheduled in a matter of minutes. Heidi also helped us rent out our condo. She hired a photographer, posted the listing, and guided us through the process of finding tenants. It was worth every cent. Go with Heidi. You won’t regret it. - Sam K.
Heidi assisted us in looking to purchase a condo. She was an exceptional agent! She was professional, resourceful, knowledgeable, relentless, organized and overall a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her services. - Mrs. Ramirez
Heidi is a true professional in all aspects of the word. She was knowledgeable in the current market, neighborhoods where I was looking, and several other details throughout the buying process. She recognized when to share her understanding of a situation and how to recommend navigating anything that presented itself. Her feedback was always of a timely manner and very appreciated. Heidi is a quality agent that works hard for your goal because she understands what you want. - Beth Y.
Heidi was wonderful. Not only was she ready to answer any questions I had, she also always prepared me for every step of the process from beginning to end. No questions were left unanswered and she made me feel comfortable asking questions. I am so thankful and happy I had the chance to work with such an experienced professional. - Janice L.
I moved to Chicago from out of state and had no idea how to get started or what I was getting into. Fortunately, a friend of mine had recommended Heidi to me, and she was a LIFESAVER! Not only was she able to focus on all my priorities and budget restraints, but she has been personal, thoughtful, and friendly along the way. While focusing on your needs and wants, she also prioritizes safety, which is something I really appreciate coming from out of the city. I found the most wonderful place to live, and I couldn’t have done it without Heidi. You can’t find a better person to have on your side to help you find your ideal home. If I ever find reason to move away, I will certainly be using her services, and I can’t recommend her enough! - Grace P.
Heidi was extremely helpful. She was very knowledgeable about the places we looked at and when she didn't have an answer right then, she always got back to us with it later. - Richard N.
Heidi was very helpful and informative throughout this entire process. I moved from Louisiana with little to no knowledge about living in Chicago and she helped me find an apartment that met all of my needs. This was a stress free process, and I owe it to her :). - Emma M.
We were living in Indiana and contacted Heidi through a Zillow listing. She turned out to be terrific as we sorted through whether we were up for a move to Chicago. She listened very well and understood what we were looking for and she was very timely in her responses. She clearly knows Chicago well! We spent a day looking at place with her and we eventually landed on a rental which she found for us. I would highly recommend her. - Dixie P.
Heidi is amazing!! In the midst of our one-hundred questions and anxiety, she calmly and patiently lead us through every aspect of our search for the perfect Chicago condo for our lifestyle. Her down to earth, easy-going personality and expertise are second to none. We were not fully familiar with Chicago, so Heidi introduced us to an attorney who took care of the paperwork to finalize our purchase. Heidi also found a renter for our condo for us until we are able to actually move in for good. She also posted the advertisement and took care of all the necessary paperwork for that. We couldn’t have asked for a better person or more knowledgeable realtor to guide us through our search and purchase, and we highly recommend Heidi to anyone who is looking for the perfect home. - Daniele S.
