I could not have asked for a better first-time home buying experience than with Lindsey. From my first phone call on a Sunday night, she was professional and did anything she could to help me along the home-buying journey. I can't recommend Lindsey enough and look forward to working with her again in the future. Caitlin Wray
She is amazing! As first-time buyers and coming from Europe we were a bit afraid and absolutely ignorant about the overall process. She clearly explained and stayed near us all the steps of the way doing everything in her power (and more) to make our dream possible! Thank you Lindsey! We were mostly impressed about how she handled difficult situations as when the lender did no...
You were awesome and your advice on the offer amount and hand written note helped us get the house we wanted.
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Lindsey. She's one of the most responsive and helpful people we've ever worked with. I'd have responses from her within minutes of writing and she works tirelessly to help her clients. As first time buyers, we had a lot of questions and concerns, along with search parameters that were ever-changing. She was so patient with us and explained a...
We had a great experience our first time looking for real estate in Chicago and this time was no different! Thank you for always being quick to respond when we had questions. You are our “Go To†person for Chicago real estate!
Lindsey is awesome. I was so lucky to have stumbled upon her! I trusted her completely every step of the process! She put together a great team, she was totally honest with me always, and I would tell anyone who was looking to buy or sell to call Lindsey!
Fantastic! Lindsey is organized, driven, punctual, friendly, and kind. So rare to work with a person who is so reliable and who so clearly wants to deliver the absolute best to a client -- Lindsey deserves the highest recommendation!
You were always willing to answer questions, whether in person, via phone, email or text. Throughout the entire process I felt like you had our backs. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. I've already recommended you to friends who are thinking about real estate in their future. No better source for support, wisdom, advice and patience!
We cannot say enough great things about how well Lindsey managed our condo purchase. She was incredibly personable, honest, meticulous, accommodating, and professional in all of our interactions. When there were some hiccups related to our lender, she was always the rational person who helped solve the issues. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future.
great communication throughout the process
Lindsey is amazing to work with! She not only found my husband and I our forever dream home but she also helped me sell my condo that I'd had from before we were married. Lindsey is an excellent listener, has great insights about the housing market and she is great at following up and following through. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to either purchase a new home or sell...
Lindsey, after just a couple meetings and open houses, really got to know our styles and preferences and what type of home we were looking for. It was very comfortable working with her through the whole process, and she was prompt with any questions or concerns we had, no matter how big or insignificant they were. We really enjoyed working with her, and will look to her in the future if ...
Lindsey was excellent! Being an out-of-town seller, I was so relieved that she was on top of everything. She worked with my schedule, gave me some great advice of things that would help the condo sell quickly and made the whole process a breeze.
I felt very comfortable having Lindsey as my real estate agent. I was moving to Chicago from the east coast and knew little about the area. Linsdey was incredibly honest about which areas would work for my needs and was always very prompt in responding to questions. I would highly recommend her!
We could not be more please with choosing Lindsey as our listing agent for our condo in downtown Chicago. Within 2 days of listing we had 2 offers and were under contract. From our initial meeting, to discussions on price strategy and our desired time line, photo shoot / listing, and connecting us with a very effective real estate attorney. Lindsey was always well prepared with good comm...
Lindsey was my agent for my first home buying experience and I could not be happier with the service she provided. Over the course of two months, she dedicated several hours to viewing condos with me, often going out of her way to make her schedule fit mine, as I was moving from out of state. Her knowledge and expertise made what normally would be an overwhelming process much more manage...
Lindsey is the consummate professional and dedicated to her clients. She is knowledgeable, approachable, honest, and responsive to the needs of her clients. I highly recommend her services and can say with all honesty that I will be using her services again when the right time arises.
Lindsey handled all aspects of preparing my rental property flawlessly. From the advertising, showings, and locating tenants. Her knowledge of the real estate market helped me make decisions needed to get a tenant promptly. Lindsey even helped coordinate with contractors to have maintenance completed at my property all while giving great advice along the way. Thanks Lindsey, I appreciate it.
I'm usually suspicious of the realtor cards that come in the mail but due to the limited timeline, I chose to contact Lindsey. From the first time we met, she seemed organized, efficient, and understood our limitations. She was the only person who could get polite and efficient responses from the property manager. That alone is a testament to her professional demeanor. She was super resp...
I highly recommend Lindsey Richardson as a Chicago Realtor. We are from out of state and needed to sell our Chicago condo; we took a leap of faith in hiring Lindsey and she did not disappoint. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, knows the market and by taking her advice, we were able to get top dollar for our condo. We had multiple offers within 3 days of being on the market. She effectiv...
My boyfriend and I used Lindsey to find an apartment to buy together in the South Loop. Being first time home buyers - I was nervous about the entire process but Lindsey was there every step of the way. After seeing a few apartments it was clear that she had listened to what we said we liked and disliked at each location as she pointed out some other buildings that she though would suit ...
Lindsey was awesome. She was super helpful with all of our questions and concerns. Being first time home buyers, Lindsey made sure to point out things we never would have thought of while looking at units. She quickly found out our preferred style and made sure to find places within our budget. Even with how fast units in the area were selling, she always had more places for us to see an...
I can't say enough about how valuable it was to have Lindsey as my real estate agent, she went above and beyond to make this experience non-stressful. I was a first time buyer, moving from a different state, and starting a new job (Which would be very stressful for most). However, Lindsey made this transition easy by explaining and walking me through everything in an efficient and quick ...
Lindsey was on top of every aspect of the sale of our condo. She was very professional and always responded to our inquiries and concerns in a timely manner. She even went beyond what I thought was a realtor's duty in helping us out of state owners find vendors for a few projects to get the condo in pristine condition. The icing on the cake was how Lindsey dealt with the cantankerous Con...
Lindsey is wonderful, she went out of her way to help me find a property and when she realized it was not in her territory she quickly connected me with the right agent. Go getter and great customer service. Thank you for being so efficient!
Very much appreciate your support and attentiveness throughout the entire process. Will happily and highly recommend you to others. Best of luck with the current real estate market.
Our very own Harbor Square resident, Lindsey Richardson, was our realtor extraordinaire. In every area she exceeded our expectations. We are lucky to have her in our community. Lindsey, thank you again for all the hard work, patience and kindness you've extended to us during the sale of our current home and purchase of our new dwelling, you are a true professional and have much reason to...
Lindsey Richardson has been my agent for several years. During that time, she has helped with purchasing a condo, renovating a condo, refinancing, and offering general advice about the market. In my opinion, as a long time customer, she's the best in the South Loop of Chicago. I have referred her to others and they have been equally satisfied. She's incredibly dedicated to her work, is e...
Lindsey was wonderful to work with. We tried to sell our townhome by owner with multiple bumps in the road. Then we fortunately hired Lindsey and everything was smooth sailing! She made what was once a stressful process nearly stress-free. First, she listened and understood our perspectives and what was most important to us. She then took ownership of the process, communicating with us f...
Lindsey was very knowledgeable and responsive to our inquiries. Even after the purchase, she has been kind and helpful so that we could move in to the new home as seamlessly as possible.
Lindsey is a consummate professional. We went from being casual buyers to very serious buyers very quickly and that's because Lindsey was able to get our home sale under contract above our budget AND negotiate a great price on our new purchase. She literally helped us sell high and buy low. When we threw her a curveball and asked if she can get us a 37 day close, she didn't even blink an...

Lindsey, your attention to detail and ability to handle complexities was uncommonly fantastic. We are so happy and grateful to you for making our dreams come true. Barry Resnick and Ayelet Danino
Lindsey listens! She determines what you are looking for and finds it. Sounds simple, but other realtors were so eager to close they could not listen to my concerns and aims. Wonderful working experience from start to finish. Perry Bacogiannis
I could not have asked for a better experience on finding and purchasing my first property. You found multiple properties in the areas I was looking for and gave me your honest insight from your experiences living in Chicago. I would recommend my family and friends to you. No complaints, only compliments! Colin Boynton
Lindsey is an outstanding Realtor! She listened carefully to my requirements and immediately responded with a series of appropriate listings. I had been looking for a long, long time. I hit pay dirt immediately with Lindsey. Her expertise extended to every aspect of the process. She gave me good advice along the way and stayed in touch after the closing. Lindsey makes purchasing real est...
Lindsey helped our family recently in the purchase of a condo in Chicago. Lindsey was incredibly knowledgeable as to the Chicago marketplace and she provided excellent advice as to the right price to offer for the property. We very strongly recommend Lindsey to you as a property purchaser for her knowledge, integrity and responsiveness! We are happy to serve as references for Lindsey at ...
Lindsey Richardson helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Buying my first home. After looking four consecutive Saturdays I found the home of my dreams. I knew it was a short sale but proceeded anyway. We went through the standard negotiations and inspections and reached a deal fairly quickly. Lindsey was fantastic throughout the entire process. She took the time to...
Thank you so much. You were very helpful and we are having a great time in our new home! Nate Wong and Jessica Chu
Lindsey is a tremendous asset who constantly impresses me with her attention to detail, knowledge of the Chicago metropolitan area, and her thorough understanding of every aspect of the real estate market and transaction process. I relied heavily on Lindsey when I negotiated my first-ever apartment purchase and she is a wealth of information today as I consider my second foray into the m...
Was a really nice agent who helped me find a place in my price range. I told her what I was looking for, and she was able to supply me with many options in the area I was interested in. It was great working with her! Tanner Hutt
I met Lindsey a few years ago and have been working with her exclusively since. Lindsey has keen instincts and a sharp business and investing sense and I trust her judgment completely. Additionally, she is very detail oriented. Nothing escapes her eye. Once I witnessed her gently make a property owner confess that "yes, we've had water damage in this house". I've written numerous offers ...
Lindsey was great to work with. She always listened to our requests and had a great understanding of what we were looking for. This helped tremendously with filtering out properties and saving us a lot of time. Lindsey always had great recommendations and assisted us with our search perfectly. Pete and Krista Trpkovski
Lindsey Richardson is a wonderful Realtor; I highly recommend her. It was my first time purchasing property and it was challenging. The first place I chose fell through after the inspection. Lindsey was reassuring and helped me to refocus. Our next time out looking, I found my home. I've lived here for 2.5 years and I am so happy! I love my home and I loved working with my Realtor! ...
We really enjoyed working with you Lindsey. We felt like you were the one person throughout the whole process that was able to keep our emotions in check. We really felt that your knowledge of the market and your advice on our offer helped us get the home that we love. We really appreciate all of your efforts. We will give you a call when it comes time to sell our condo. Thanks again. ...
As a first time home buyer, I was apprehensive to enter the market, but Lindsey quickly assuaged any fears I had. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the Chicago market and wasn't afraid to provide honest feedback about a property (even if it meant prolonging the search process). She was especially helpful during the closing process. Overall, Lindsey was great to work and I...
I have now bought and sold 3 homes in 3 years. Lindsey helped me buy and sell the second one in Chicago. She was honest, friendly, knowledgeable, hard-working, and very easy to work with. She always gave me a straight answer, gave me her opinions, worked well with other agents, and made the buying process easy. I had to sell the house a few months later, and she helped me with that ...
Tenacious and responsive to every need. We were looking for a very specific type of home and Lindsey found it for us. The Blair Family
