My goal is to make the process of buying, selling or renting a home efficient, enjoyable and rewarding for you.  See what my clients have said about my real estate services...   Aaron,   The past two years that I've worked with you has been a wonderful experience. Always professional, always on time, always going above & beyond to show me property that fits my style. You have made moving for my family & I seem so simple. Thank you for being the best Realtor there is.   H. Whiteside Chicago, IL 60615                    *****************************************************     Thank you so much Aaron!   You have proved to me that with hard work and determination anything is possible. I truly appreciate you for all your help, support and honesty. You are truly a man of your word. Even when I knew I was bugging you, you remained patient and got the job done. You are the best in the industry.   KUDOS TO U!!   Thanks,   S. Hayward Chicago, IL 60653                  *****************************************************   It is such a great pleasure to work with someone who is a true professional, thorough and knowledgeable about renting and selling real estate. Aaron provided an extraordinary service to my wife and I; a service that due to our demanding schedules, we could have never accomplished. Your thoughtful, compassionate level of expertise dealing with your customers is something that has become increasingly rare in today's society. We are completely satisfied with the service you have provided. I am currently recommending your services to any and everybody who might need help accomplishing the time consuming task of renting or selling real estate.   Thanks a million Aaron and may God continue to bless.   K. Collier Chicago, IL 60651                    *****************************************************     I found Aaron to be a true professional. I had been searching for a new apartment for quite some time and had enlisted the services of other Realtors who either didn't understand what I wanted or were not attentive. Aaron was there to listen to my concerns regarding the prospective unit and was able to relay them to the landlord. With his help, all of my concerns were addressed favorably. Aaron proved to be attentive, knowledgeable and passionate about the work he does for both landlords and tenants. For those of you looking for someone that will made the difference in your home search, I truly feel Aaron is the person you should definitely consult with!   P.S. Loving the new place!   L. Singleton Chicago, IL 60620                    *****************************************************      This was my first experience using a Realtor and it was by far the best experience I have had in apartment searching. Plus, I love my new apartment!  With a very busy working schedule, setting appointments was sometimes tedious, but Aaron was always willing to work around my schedule setting appointments after work and on weekends. He is extremely professional, honest and forthcoming, which are rare attributes to find in a Realtor. I just want to thank him one more time for all of the time and consideration he put into helping me find a home. I will definitely use Aaron again and again, whether I am in the market to rent another unit or buy a home.    V. Reynolds Chicago, IL 60615                    *****************************************************      Aaron McDonald is the crème de la crème of the real estate industry for us.  He has rented every unit we've given him in, what we call, a very timely fashion.  My partners and I are very pleased with his commitment to excellence in bringing in the very best tenants and utilizing his outstanding expertise in achieving the very best outcome for us.  The pictures he takes alone would sell anyone.  So Aaron, if the housing market becomes too tight, you're an excellent photographer - use it!  My partners and I are very persnickety when it comes to people with whom we do business.  Aaron is the best we've seen so far.    Kudos to you, Aaron. DYD Real Estate Investors, LLC Chicago, IL 60652                *****************************************************  Aaron McDonald helped my mom and I with our search for a new place to live. The first place he showed us was perfect for what we needed. We were able to move in just about a month later. Aaron made himself available to meet with us around our schedules and kept us in-the-loop of the whole process. He provided superb, professional and friendly service. For that, I truly thank him. Our new place is beautiful!   Sincerely, L. Collier Chicago, IL 60615     *****************************************************        Aaron McDonald is one of the best Realtors I have met in the industry. He was recently able to rent all 3 units at one of our properties. Aaron knows real estate markets very well and provided excellent feedback when determining a price for the rentals. Once he started to work, he maintained a steady level of commitment and was able to lease all 3 units within a short period of time.   I would highly recommend Aaron to any serious real estate owner who demands nothing but the very best from a Realtor. He was thorough and very knowledgeable.   Thanks Aaron!   R. Soto Chicago, IL 60653     ************************************************************     In the midst of these bleak financial times, I was prepared for the worst...foreclosure. I had been unsuccessfully trying to find a tenant on my own for 3 months and my finances were quickly dwindling. I was prepared to pay two mortgages for 6 months, but after being given the run around by CHAC and infrequent leads from my own rudimentary Craigslist posting, I was at the end of my rope. I was then that my best friend referred me to Aaron McDonald. Aaron quickly and efficiently toured, photographed, and posted my place to his website. The descriptions and images he included were so enticing that even I had to take a second look at my property.   After such professional advertising, it was no surprise when a lead soon presented itself! At that point, Mr. McDonald left no stone unturned when it came to researching this possible tenant's references, employment, and credit history. Thanks to Mr. McDonald's thorough and meticulous nature, he delivered to me a top-notch tenant in less than one month's time. I couldn't be happier or more appreciative.   A thousand thanks to Aaron McDonald!   T. Riemer-Mallory Chicago, IL 60649      ************************************************************     Dear Mr. McDonald,   In my choice of receiving your professional assistance during my time of need, in conjunction with the purchase of my new home, I would just like to say thank you for being there for me.  Your expertise and your thoughtfulness were as genuine as a fresh morning breeze.  Your ability to suggest different locations, that somehow you knew I would be pleased by, and also the fact that your ability to be emotionally involved, even during the closing, gave me such a profound sense of knowing that I had made the right choice. Not only with the house but with you as my agent.  For those out there who are in need of a professional who will look out for your best interest, wellbeing, and also be sympathic to your needs when it comes to the purchasing of property or even rentals, Aaron McDonald is your man.   I. Roper Chicago, IL 60619     ************************************************************       To say that Mr. McDonald was a "God Send" is truly an understatement. He was a miracle worker when it came to finding a reliable, responsible renter for my condominium in South Shore!   Less than a month ago, we had our condo listed with a highly recommended property management company, downtown Chicago. The poor service and lack of account feedback we received made us feel like it would take quite awhile to rent our unit. After being dissatisfied with the service received, we cancelled our current contract, and contacted Aaron. Less than 48 hours after Aaron posted pics of the unit, we had a great applicant, and signed leased!   Aaron, thank you so much for working with us on the rental of our unit. You exceeded our expectations! To anyone who’s looking to sell or rent a home you will have a hard time finding a better realtor.   Wishing you abundant blessings! L. Hopkins & S. Aughtry Chicago, IL 60637      ************************************************************     Thank you very much for helping me find an apartment to rent. I had been looking for at least two months until I came across your web site. When I first visited your site and viewed the available properties, I knew by the pictures and your attentiveness to detail that you were about quality. Being the particular or "picky" type of person that I am, I knew that I would find exactly what I was looking for and I did on our first meeting. I am very much so enjoying my apartment. Thank you again and I will be looking forward to working with you again in the future.   God bless.   T. Walker Chicago, IL 60637                              ************************************************************     Aaron,   Just wanted to say thanks for helping me locate a rental apartment. The service was excellent. Got a showing the same day I called and had the keys within 5 days. That was exactly what I needed.   Thanks again!!   A. Littlejohn Chicago, IL 60649       ************************************************************     Aaron,   Thank you very much for your help with finding us find a very nice condo in the area. You made the process very easy and you went out of your way for us in letting my daughter at University of Illinois see the place (when she was home for the holiday weekend) after we had already sign the lease. When we purchase another home we will look to you for help.   God bless you and your family   S. Lassiter and D. Robinson Chicago, IL 60615        ************************************************************     Aaron-   Wow - we are finally at this point!  I am so grateful and thankful to God for bringing you in my life at this time.  I know I have bugged you more than I should have, but thank you so much for all your patience, persistance, time and advice in helping me get this place.  I appreciate you for being real with me even when I didn't want to hear it.  I wouldn't have made it this far without you.   Again, thank you so much! R. Goins Chicago, IL 60612       ************************************************************     Dear Aaron,   Thank you for you help and assistance in helping us find a perfect apartment. My husband and I own a home in Calumet City and needed to live in Chicago because of his job. We were interested in purchasing a home, but did not want to rush something so important. We decided to rent for a year and weigh our options after that. Because, we were current owners we did not want to live in “just any apartment.” I called Aaron after seeing one of his luxury apartments on his website and from that moment on he was on the job. He understood our taste and he took us to several apts that fit those taste exactly. We found the place we wanted on the first day looking! We were approved and had signed the lease in less than a week.   Thank you again Aaron for making our tedious search fun and easy. We will be calling on you again when we finally decide to make our home purchase.   C. Stanton-Thomas Chicago, IL 60615     ************************************************************     Mr. McDonald:        From the first point of contact to signing the lease you provided me with all of the knowledge and insight I needed to make the best decision.  I have been living in the apartment for approximately a month. It is with my great pleasure that I inform you that I have been thoroughly pleased with the apartment. I cannot recall a problem that we have had while living in this unit. The space of this apartment is the best feature of the apartment.  Even with all of our furniture in place, we still have plenty of space left over to add more features to an already beautiful unit. The neighbors are also very welcoming and helpful people. All in all, I am very pleased with this unit and thank you very much for affording us the opportunity to live here.   W. Dyson Chicago, IL 60637      ************************************************************     Aaron was a great resource in finding my new apartment.  He was there from start to finish and made the moving experience enjoyable.  I will definitely use Aaron again for all my housing needs.    E. Neely Chicago, IL 60619     ************************************************************      Aaron was incredible in helping me find a place. I was moving in from out of town so I needed special attention and accommodations. Aaron, was very easy to get in touch with, even on the Sunday of Father's day! He made a process that could have been stressful and unsuccessful, very easy, simple and a pleasure. I have an incredible place thanks to Aaron. I have already referred him to two other friends that I know. I suggest using Aaron when looking for a place in Chicago.   A. Mashariki Chicago, IL 60653     ************************************************************      I just want to express my appreciation Aaron, for changing my rent payments to mortgage payments, for nearly the same monthly amount.  With my lease renewal arriving, you convinced me not to sign another lease.  The patience you showed me, the comfort (and laughter) you gave, helped me understand how this was a great opportunity to search out a place to own.  Buyers need the attention (well some of us) of being walked through the process and having someone there, every step of the way.  I still can't believe that I now "own" a condo unit in Bronzeville!   Thank you, again!   A. Greene Chicago, IL 60615     ************************************************************     Aaron went above and beyond the call of duty when he helped me to acquire my first apartment. Not only did he provide invaluable information on making smart decisions when renting, he also gave me some excellent investment tips for the future. Aaron is also extremely knowledgeable. This was my first time in the Chatham area and I didn't know where anything was located. Aaron gave me the name of some restaurants in the area as well as a few recreational spots to enjoy. It was definitely a joy going through this process with him and I have recommended him to all of my friends.   N. Henson  Chicago, IL 60620     ************************************************************     Our dream of becoming homeowners came true thanks to Aaron McDonald. When I first called Aaron, my husband and I were looking to rent an apartment. While on the phone with Aaron, he began emailing me listings for apartments. He was extremely helpful and made me feel comfortable talking to him as if we had known each other for years.   I revealed to him that my husband and I had worked with a Realtor from another company in the summer. We severed ties with that Realtor because we felt she was not looking out for our best interests. Because of this, we were discouraged and apprehensive about working with someone else. Aaron helped us realize our dreams were attainable. He was knowledgeable about the real estate market and gave us realistic advice we did not receive the first time around. Aaron sent me listings frequently that matched the criteria we discussed. At the showings he answered all our questions and took the time we needed as first time home buyers to inform us of any concerns.   Aaron did not disappear after we made our purchase. He continues to be a great voice of experience and answer questions we’ve had since. At first my husband and I were apprehensive given the current real estate market and our past experience of working with another Realtor. Aaron made everything easier and provided extraordinary guidance and A-1 service.  Not only do my husband and I have a new home, but we have Aaron as our family’s newest addition as well.   Thanks Aaron!   M. Patterson-Bloomfield & G. Bloomfield Chicago, IL 60628     *****************************************************     We had tried selling our condo in Renaissance Place without success for two years.  We used two other agents and got no offers.  Aaron came in and gave us good advice on price and ways to market the unit.  He found a buyer and guided us through the inspection and closing process.  We were very pleased with his work and the results.   T. Kraftson Chicago, IL 60615     *****************************************************     Subject: Aaron A Man Of His Word......   When my mom decided to sell her home, it was at a time when the market had started to decline. We listed the home with a reputable Realtor for many months and nothing happened. Finally after running out of time and seeing no results we ended our contract with the Realtor. After about a week or so later and almost going into panic mode, along came Aaron.   Aaron came right in the true professional in his craft, he made us feel comfortable and relieved as soon as our conversations began. Aaron made us a promise that he would have us out of the home within the stated time. Once he started, I could see he knew just what he was doing. I observed  him displaying far more effort into getting the house sold than what I had seen with the previous Realtor, Aaron used every resource available. He kept in close contact with us via emails, phone calls or just stopping by, never leaving us to wonder what was going on.   I am happy to say, when Aaron phoned to tell us he had indeed gotten our home sold for the price we wanted and sold in a reasonable amount time, needless to say we were more than grateful.   If you are looking to sell or purchase a home Aaron will not disappoint you. He is professional and caring, he will stay by your side paying close attention to your concerns while constantly showing you ....he's got it all under control. Thank You Again, you made our life so much easier.   N. Woodall & B. Arnette Lynwood, IL 60411   This beautiful home was previously listed and sat for six months without any interest.  Relisted and marketed property for slightly higher price and received nearly full price offer within two months!     *****************************************************     "Aaron made sure he showed us exactly what we were looking for and didn't waste our time.  Thanks to him we are now in the home of our dreams!"   R. & L. Holley Chicago, IL 60616     *****************************************************     Dear Mr. Aaron McDonald,   I am writing this letter to say thank you very much for all of your help in my recent sale and new home purchase.  I appreciate the fact that you took the time to show me every home that I wanted to see. I am sure that I am the record holder for the most homes that you have shown to one single buyer and I know I was not an easy client to deal with.  Nevertheless you managed to provide excellent service in a professional and timely manner and for that I say thank you again and I wish you much success in your future endeavors.   A. Williams South Holland, IL 60473                                    *****************************************************     I had the pleasure of working with Aaron as I searched for my first home purchase. Aaron is one of the most pleasantly tenacious people I know. Not only is he knowledgeable about a vast range of neighborhoods in and around the Chicago area; he is also very resourceful when tackling areas where more background information is needed for his clients.   I first met Aaron at an open house and mentioned to him that I was in no hurry to buy and I wanted to be thorough in my search. Throughout my home buying process Aaron maintained a huge level of professionalism and provided me with stellar service. He demonstrated a great deal of patience, along with offering me invaluable guidance that I appreciate immensely.   I wholeheartedly recommend Aaron to steer home buyers and sellers alike through the many facets of real estate. He has proven to be thorough and competent and helped to make my first home purchase a smooth experience.    R. Washington Chicago, IL 60637                   *****************************************************     Dear Aaron,   Thank you so much for all the great work you did in helping to sell my house.  You did a great job in such a short time!  The team was great - I an hardly believe it's all over!   So thank you much for all the time and effect!    L. Johnson Chicago, IL 60649   This South Shore, Jackson Park Highlands home was previously listed with a highly reputable Realtor for six months without any activity.  Relisted and marketed property for identical price and received an offer after only ten days!
