Zerillo Realty Inc

Negative experience: Working with Giuseppe at Zerillo Realty was one of the most frustrating rental experiences I have ever had. His poor communication and handling of our application left a terrible impression. When the company verifying our rental history could not reach our previous landlord, Giuseppe never notified us. We had to follow up ourselves to find out what was delaying the application. A simple update would have allowed us to help resolve the issue, but even getting a response from him was a challenge. In my experience, calls and emails often went unanswered for eight hours or longer. The most troubling part was his insistence that we send a $1,600 security deposit before he would provide the lease. He repeated that request three times: send the money first, then receive the lease. Asking applicants to hand over that much money before allowing them to review the agreement made me extremely uncomfortable. The apartment at 6427 Dakin was beautiful, but dealing with Giuseppe overshadowed everything positive about it. I expected basic communication, transparency, and professionalism. In my experience, he failed to deliver on all three. I would not recommend Giuseppe or Zerillo Realty. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Negative experience: Giuseppe is the most unprofessional Realtor I have ever dealt with. If a application i missing some information or if they company you contract to check previous landlords can not reach previous landlord. You should let the prospecting tenants know that the contact attempt was unsuccessful. Giuseppe never let us know so we followed up trying to reach him which is NEAR impossible. He will not answer the phone or email until at least 8 hours later if you are lucky. I NEVER had a Realtor that DID not want to communicate at all. Nevertheless, this was my experience. Icing on the cake was Giuseppe wanted the security deposit UP FRONT. Before sending the lease. Yea buddy, I will send you $1600 so you can steal my money. This is common RED FLAG and strongly discouraged. Giuseppe mentioned to SEND the money FIRST THREE times!!! Then he will send the lease. He must think this is Miami so he can say he never received any money and RUN. Overall I give Giuseppe and Zerillo Realty ZERO stars if I could. WORST experience EVER with a Realtor. Very sad since the apartment at 6427 Dakin was BEAUTIFUL. To bad the owner hired the most unprofessional and con-artist Realtor in the Chicago-land area.

Fantastic experience: Amazing they were there's the whole time and helped a lot with finding a house recommend

Fantastic experience: Abra was fantastic to work with throughout the entire home-selling process. She was always responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile to help us navigate every challenge that came up. Her guidance and professionalism made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. We are so grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Recently, my family and I had the pleasure of working with Danusia Lachowicz from Zerillo Realty in the purchase of a new condo. Danusia is a true professional - courteous, dedicated, friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and punctual! She is absolutely delightful to work with, and after several showings with her, we found the right condo at the right price, in an area in which we were specifically interested! Danusia worked tirelessly to help us find and successfully close on a condo in the very complex we desired and had our hearts set on, even though listings there are scarce and very infrequently available. She flawlessly guided us through the purchase process, and was available to address every question or concern at every step along the way to a successful closing! If you are looking for a real estate professional to help you find your first very own place to call home, or transition from your current home, look no further, because you will find that, and so much more, with Danusia! Thank you Danusia, support staff, and Zerillo Realty for making our dream come true!!!

Negative experience: Had some realtor name Patricia Rosen. She was awful. She chain smoked outside during the entire showing and open house, could never show us any properties, customer service was awful, she had a chemical smell and the parking sucked.

Fantastic experience: Zerillo Realty provided a sincere and committed partnership. Their pulse of the market and efficient communication was top notch. Thank you Zerillo team.

Fantastic experience: Zerillo Realty is the best of the best! We used them first with selling a home in which they guided us to get top dollar for it and it sold quickly. Secondly, we used them for buying a home. As first time homebuyers with a widespread search area, they were very knowledge about every town we were interested in. Katie and Giuseppe went above and beyond to make both our selling and buying experiences seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Zerillo Realty and would definitely use them again!

Fantastic experience: Great realty company! Louis Orlando was my agent, he went above and beyond to make sure the sale of my home went smoothly. A very knowledgeable Relator, who applied his expertise to every aspect of the sale process, including the closing. I’d highly recommend Louis for your Relator, honest and trust worthy!

Fantastic experience: Nick Obrzut was fantastic! Would recommend him to anyone. We were able to find the perfect place in a hectic market.

Fantastic experience: My realtor, Nick Obrzut, went above and beyond throughout my home purchase! He really took the time to understand what I wanted and guided me through the home-buying process.

Fantastic experience: We were very satisfied and we close within two weeks! The timeline was wonderful. Thank you Lou

Fantastic experience: Giuseppe Zerrillo and his legal team were a God send. He helped me sell my parents home quickly and was extremely knowledgeable about the Village of Norridge and all its regulations. Got us the right plumber to get us to pass codes. Time was of the essence for my Mom who needed to move into a nursing home in another state. We can’t thank you enough. Sincerely Sylvia Yakowenko.

Fantastic experience: Katie Zerillo sold our home in Niles and exceeded our expectations. She was there every step of the way to answer any and all questions we had. From the very beginning of our selling process, I knew we were in good hands. Katie and Zerillo Realty sold many homes in Niles and are extremely knowledgeable about this area. She was able to sell our home at a competitive price in a short time period. I definitely recommend Katie and Zerillo Realty for selling your home!

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Joe Zerillo on the sale of our home. From start to finish he was very responsive, knowledgeable and a constant professional. We look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.

Fantastic experience: Zerillo Realty helped me sell my older home in a very timely manner! Even though it was an old-fashioned property and I was listing well after the prime spring/summer season, my property was highlighted online, and the good qualities of my home were presented to prospective buyers.I received more than one offer within the first two weeks of listing. At all times, Giuseppe helped and guided my family with the process, and I cannot recommend Zerillo more highly.

Fantastic experience: Working with Joe for a sale and purchase was nothing short of incredible. He knew exactly what my wife and I wanted and made it happen. Always on time, and always answers the phone. Couldn’t ask for a better Realtor.

Fantastic experience: When I was starting a new chapter in my life being a independent adult I turned to Ulisses to help me find a home not to far from work or access to the city. We closed on property in rolling meadows. After 5 years pasted, I got married and started a family. We needed a bigger place to call home and Uylisses was again my go to person. Not only to find our new home but to sell our old. He’s awesome with keeping clients in the loop and definitely going above and beyond to making sure the clients needs are met. #thankstoulisses

Fantastic experience: Liz was very helpful and responsive with all of our needs! 10/10 would recommend, best agent ever!

Fantastic experience: Truly a wonderful experience buying my home. You can tell everyone working here loves their job. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mr Zerillo who should be a Italian male model instead of a Realator! This handsome young devil knows his stuff and was pleasant to work with. This was a 5 star experience!

Fantastic experience: Recently sold my home with Katie as my realtor. Highly recommend her!!!! My sale was complicated and unique and Katie handled it with ease. Her great balance of professionalism and flexibility combined with just enough friendly support made a very stressful situation much more manageable. If you want the job done right (and possibly need a bit of extra guidance) Katie is your best option for sure!

Fantastic experience: Top notch service especially for a independent broker. The handsome devil that owns the place ensures that the job is done professionally. Friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! They promised, and they delivered! Strongly recommend this agency! Customer service 5 stars! Professionalism 5 stars! We had been trying to sell our property and were very unhappy with our previous agent ,and what we got from Zerillo was amazing experience and work ethic beyond what we expected !

Fantastic experience: Excellent service provided in acquiring out new home

Negative experience: weird , sign said for sale , and FOR RENT . when i called last week to rent , was told only for sale . i think they are renting only for Italians

Fantastic experience: Great to work with. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: If you are seeking a realtor with a high level of expertise and complete professionalism, look no further! Giuseppe Zerillo and all of Zerillo Realty go above and beyond whether you are selling or buying to make the experience top notch!!

Fantastic experience: Giuseppe and his team have helped me fill numerous vacancies over the past 10 years. They are detailed and very easy to work with. All of the tenants they have placed for me have been pleasant, responsible long term renters.

Negative experience: I had a very uncomfortable experience with him. I do not think he had the right to ask me about who will be sleeping in my apartment. He told me that if I did not answer the questions he was asking, he would deny my application. He told me everything was approved.Then again made me uncomfortable with questions. would not recommend him to ANYONE! RENTERS BEWARE!

Fantastic experience: Nice place 🍻

Fantastic experience: Great company to do business with!... thank you for all your help in our home search and transaction!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Juliet LAZAR!!!!!! Love you so much!!!! Thank you that HELP US TO FOUND A GREAT PLACE FOR OUR FAMILY !!!!💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Negative experience: Rude and very dishonest! He tried to sell us the items owner left for us for free.There were few items the owner left for us that we would pay at the time of purchase. Zerillo said the owner took it with himself but my guts told me to not trust him so I checked with the owner and he said he had left it for us.

Fantastic experience: Giuseppe is a true professional, my previous Realator didn't listen to a word I said and continued to show me places I had no interest in. Giuseppe was referred to me by a friend, he addressed my needs and wants and found me a great condo st a great price!!
