Our Happy Clients

Say About Us

Laura and Larry, Using you and your team was such a great experience. From your advice on repairs to do to the home even before we listed with you to the very last detail at closing was made so easy because of all of you. Your experience and expertise made the whole process so easy. I can't thank you enough. I would recommend your team for anybody who wants an enjoyable experience. Thanks Bruce Davis

- Bruce Davis

I worked very closely with Laura and her team and I cannot say enough about how fantastic of a job they did!!! From searching to closing Laura was there every step of the way answering ALL my questions no matter how silly I thought they may have been. Laura's profound knowledge in real estate industry truly helped me make the right decisions on which homes to pass on and which ones would be a great fit! She offered sound advice and gave me a lot of things to consider when making a final decision. The whole time I knew that she had my best interest at heart. And as a first time home buyer myself that is something I look for when making a big life decision. I can not be happier to have worked with someone who is so patient, kind, knowledgeable, considerate, diligent, and trustworthy. I'm truly blessed to have her on my team. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who's in the home buying / selling process to contact Laura! You will be in great hands!

- Michael Rome

Laura helped to buy and sell my houses in 2019. She was professional, skilled and patient with me. She staged my house for sale and made beautiful brochures which included high quality photos, is a wealth of knowledge, and helped with every step of the way! I highly recommend Laura and her team.

- Joanne Cass

We can't thank you enough for all you have done to make this sale a reality!!! You both went above and beyond in every aspect of our dealings with you. It is always difficult to sell a home when all the parties live a good distance away, but you always kept us in the loop and we truly appreciate the time you took to drive out and meet with us or repair men, or to even clean up. Your professionalism is evident in everything you do. Your recommendations for the remodel were "right on the money" and I believe that was the factor that eventually sold the house. This is bitter sweet for my dad since he and my uncle built the home, and your thoughtfulness in recognizing that this would be a bit emotional for him again says volumes for your character. - So from the NELSON TEAM; THANK YOU!!

- Lois

"Your service was beyond expectation, and (beyond) our past experiences. Keep doing what you are doing! We would recommend the Swindens to anyone, anytime, anywhere that (desires) to work with the experience and expertise of a top notch real estate team. They exemplified professional integrity; truly a team any homeowner can trust."

- Brian and Natalie from Gurnee

"The Swindenhomes Team served us well by streamlining the process for us by researching and recommending homes for us to view. Larry did not over-explain the process but provided adequate information for first time home buyers. He also provided excellent referrals for mortgage lenders and attorneys."

- Daniel and Gloria Cooley from Round Lake

"Laura´s (and the Swindenhomes Team) communication was outstanding! You kept us informed in every step of the process. You warned us of potential hurdles and guided us through the process with your expertise and knowledge of the market. We would highly recommend you (and already have) to anyone wishing to sell or buy during this difficult market. Working with Laura and Larry was a delight. They went far above and beyond their responsibilities. When the house was empty due to our move, Laura kept tabs on our house to make sure that it was secure. They staged the house professionally (which she did not have to do and ultimately helped to sell it) and dealt with all the selling process. Outstanding! I would like to clone her!"

- Richard and Barbara Butler from Grayslake

"The Swindenhomes Team served us well by staging the house and meeting with contractors."

- D.A. Dees and Bruce Draney from Lake Villa

I think the reason the home sold so fast was because it showed so well on your website. You presented it very well!

- Brad and Kim from Waukegan

"After using 5 different real estate consultants, Larry and Laura worked the hardest and were very committed to our needs. Without a doubt, the best experience I have had."

- Bradley and Ann Henning from Schaumburg

"I was once again amazed by you, Laura and Larry, for your committment to sell a house. You guys are great; love ya and thanks again."

- Dustin Hoffmann from Round Lake

You were always willing to stick with us and show us more homes - even if that meant for months! You were always willing to accommodate our schedules.

- Jason and Joni from Grayslake

You helped us understand the current market and guided us to the right areas...

- Michael & Angela from Gurnee

Larry went above and beyond in all ways possible. For example, snow blowing the driveway before we owned the property.

- Dan & Nicole from Gurnee

Exceeded expectations of involvement with nitty gritty details - very helpful since I was remote seller of my dad's house. Larry and Laura stepped in and took care of things they saw that needed attention and kept me informed of the situation. You were honest and upfront, reliable, conscientious, gave more than what was expected or required of you, and I really appreciated all you did for me and dad.

- Rich from Wyoming

My husband and I hired Laura and her team to purchase a home ... and to sell another home. Her experience and knowledge of the real estate industry is unprecedented. Laura operated with the highest integrity and definitely goes above and beyond, with time and research, to ensure your home is in the best position to sell. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great realtor.

- Carrie from Florida

I want to thank you and Larry for the outstanding job you did and all the little things that helped me so much. Once again it was a pleasure to work with you and to have someone I could rely on and have complete confidence in while I was already living in another state. Your attention to detail and your knowledge and experience contributed to getting the job done. When I picked you to sell my home, I knew I picked the best and most professional agents in town.

- Shirley from Tennessee

Housing prices started to fall just as we listed our home. Laura kept up the showings and encouraging words throughout the two and one half years it took to finally sell. But, it did sell when many others did not! And, Laura used great creativity in marketing - even staging an "historical tour" for the house with costumed guides. I can't say enough good things about working with the Swindens. Thank you to Larry, also , who worked tirelessly behind the scenes.

- Karen from Deer, Arkansas

Words don't do justice to the thanks Julie and I have for the above and beyond work you did to help Love-Light find our new home. The addition of your friendship along the way was/is icing on the cake!

- Wil and Julie from Zion

Your honesty, integrity, and professionalism are what set you apart.

- Michael and Man Ting from Grayslake

Since we needed to move out of state before our home sold, it was impressive to us how you went above and beyond what we expected while our home was vacant.

Professional, personable, makes house selling feel like a partnership instead of a "home sale". Went beyond the call of duty!
