Working with Anthony was an absolute dream! As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I were nervous and unsure about the entire process, but Anthony was with us every step of the way. He worked tirelessly for YEARS to help us find the perfect place—never rushing us, always patient, and answering every single question (no matter how novice or silly) with a smile and understanding. His knowledge of the Chicago market is absolutely unmatched. Not only did he help us find the home of our dreams, but his ability to help us envision how to remodel the space to fit our exact needs was invaluable. Even after our purchase, he went above and beyond by recommending painters and contractors he’s worked with, which made our remodeling process so much smoother. I can't say enough good things about Anthony. He’s not just a realtor; he’s a true partner throughout the entire home buying journey. If you're looking to buy a home in Chicago, do yourself a favor and work with Anthony—you won’t regret it!
“Anthony isn’t just exceptional at his job—he’s the best person to have in your corner.”
Anthony isn't just exceptional at his job—he's the best person to have in your corner during one of the biggest decisions of your life.
After working with a couple of realtors, a family member recommended Anthony, and we immediately knew we were in different hands entirely. We came to him as first-time homebuyers searching for a needle in a haystack. Our growing family had a long list of must-haves, and in Chicago's hot housing market, finding the right property seemed nearly impossible. When we started getting discouraged and talking ourselves into settling for places that weren't really what we wanted, Anthony would give it to us straight: "Guys, I just don't like this one. It's not what you're looking for."
That's when we knew we had found something rare—a realtor who wasn't interested in a quick sale, but truly understood our vision and wanted to help us achieve it. When we started doubting whether our dream property even existed, Anthony helped us keep our heads and stay focused on what mattered.
I call Anthony the "building x-ray machine" because his ability to spot potential issues is absolutely incredible. He has an eagle eye for structural problems, maintenance red flags, and costly surprises that we would never have known to look for. Since he's also a developer himself, he could paint us a crystal-clear picture of what renovation work would actually involve and what it would realistically cost. This insider knowledge was invaluable as we searched for the right project.
But here's what really sets Anthony apart: in a market where everything was getting snapped up above asking price with escalation clauses and waived contingencies, he somehow managed to help us secure our home for under asking price. His strategic thinking and negotiation skills are simply unmatched.
The most important thing I can tell you about Anthony, though, is that he is genuinely a good human. I have met very few people in any industry with his level of integrity. When you're making the biggest financial decision of your life, you want to be absolutely certain you're in trustworthy hands. With Anthony, there was never any doubt about that.
Don't waste time interviewing other realtors. Anthony is the one you want representing you, whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor. He's not just the best realtor we've worked with—he's the best realtor in Chicago, period.
“Extremely grateful for Anthony and Luke in helping us sell our multiunit property in Chicago.”
Extremely grateful for Anthony and Luke in helping us sell our multiunit property in Chicago while not living there. Their expertise in the area, knowledge of how to navigate situations, and candor in the negotiating process made us have confidence throughout the entire selling period. We had some bumps but they stayed consistent through it all and helped us work through all of it. If you are looking to sell your multifamily property in Chicago, or any property, Luke and Anthony will not let you down.
“Had a wonderful experience working with Anthony.”
“He was transparent and available and always had our best interest in mind.”
“Anthony did an incredible job helping us find our home.”
Anthony did an incredible job helping us find our home. A real estate transaction is very stressful and complicated, and it can feel impossible to find trustworthy smart people who genuinely have your back throughout the process. It became very clear throughout our time with Anthony how much his savviness and experience make him a rarity. We wouldn't have been able to do it without him, and we feel lucky to have had him as our realtor.
“We cannot recommend Luke highly enough.”
We cannot recommend Luke highly enough. After working with another agent for over a year without success, we decided to make a change. From the start, Luke demonstrated attention to detail, providing us with insights and strategies we hadn’t considered before. He dug into his own pocket to make sure this deal got done. His dedication, professionalism, and expertise were evident at every step of the process. Luke went above and beyond to guide us through what could have been a stressful experience. His communication and advice was always clear, and he kept us informed every step of the way. Thanks to Luke’s hard work and commitment, we were able to sell our home and move forward.
"Luke's level expertise is a must during this time of navigating uncharted waters"
of investing in real estate and market speculation due to Covid-19. He is a dedicated pro who knows his craft and has the business acumen to exceed all client needs. His connections to potential sellers allowed us to find a multi family investment property to add to our portfolio before it went listed publicly.
"Luke is far beyond the level of your average realtor. "
Luke's knowledge of everything from scouting suitable homes to making suggestions and recommendations on repairs and renovations puts him in a class by himself. Not only did Luke go the extra mile for us in touring homes with FaceTime in horrible weather on a Friday during rush hour (we were out of town chasing Pow), He also proved to be a wealth of information on finding contractors, lenders and other experts. Above everything else my wife and I felt that we can really trust Luke to do the right thing for us and count on him to be there to answer our questions before, during and even after closing. Thank you Luke we will definitely be calling on your services again!"
"My wife and I highly recommend Anthony. "
He helped us find out current home in Hyde Park, and throughout the whole process, he really felt like a trusted advocate and advisor. He was very knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects, and gave us great insights into the home buying process from start to finish, what to look for in construction, and information about a variety of neighborhoods. Anthony was friendly and easy-to-work with. He was always punctual and prompt with all communications, and responded quickly to any texts, emails, or calls. He helped us negotiate for a final price well below the list price. We would strongly recommend him to any friend or family."
"I have been in the real estate industry"
"I cannot be happier with my experience. Anthony was so helpful "
"You cannot do better than Alexander Gastevich. "
His experience and expertise are exceptional and certainly reason enough to make him your agent, but it's really the intangibles that make Alex unparalleled. He's polite, empathetic to the stress of first time home buyers (which we were), and he cares. Every question we had was answered promptly, every concern address with an honest, no BS answer. He also works his tail off! Alex doesn't just know the market and neighborhoods, he also knows construction. We cannot recommend Alex highly enough."
"John helped us close on a 9 unit building "
"Anthony did a great job with the sale "
"Alex helped my family’s real estate "
"Luke is by far the best agent "
"I was new to the home buying game,"
so the vast majority of my initial interactions with Luke started out with me saying, "I know this is a dumb question, but..." Luke dutifully answered all my dumb questions with patience, confidence, and intelligence and then often responded to my questions with more significant questions that I had never even considered. If I were to pick a single moment that solidified my impression that Luke is an excellent real estate agent, it would be during the initial walkthrough when Luke personally checked every single appliance, fixture and finish in the place. Being an inexperienced buyer, I just looked around and said, "place looks okay." Meanwhile, Luke was crawling around on his hands and knees to make sure the base board was flush with the floor. It was like someone told him there was $100 bill hidden somewhere inside the condo. And aside, from being a great agent, he's a fun, interesting, dude to hang out with. I mean, he's got his own bowling alley. How cool is that?"
"We view Alex as a trusted advisor with our family's real estate"
investment business. He is knowledgeable, proactive, and extremely responsive with a deep understanding of Chicago's neighborhoods. He has helped us evaluate and execute several real estate transactions that align with our strategy for long-term growth. Alex remains a true partner as we look to future investment opportunities."
