The Leslie McDonnell Team | Real Estate

Experiencia fantástica: We’ve worked with Joan for over 15 years, buying three homes and selling two, and every experience has been incredibly smooth. Over the years, she’s become more than just our realtor — she’s like family. Joan is an absolute pro, and she and her team truly provide a white-glove experience. They take care of everything, stay ahead of every detail, and guide you through each step of the buying, selling, and closing process. Everything is always organized, well communicated, and handled cleanly from start to finish. She’s incredibly responsive, works around our schedule, and is always there when we have a question or need something handled. There’s a real sense of trust and comfort knowing Joan has everything covered and is always looking out for our best interests. We couldn’t recommend Joan and her team more highly. She’s been a huge part of some very important moments for our family, and we’re incredibly grateful to have her in our corner.

Experiencia fantástica: Joan was a wonderful broker for us. She responded very quickly to our questions. One of her biggest strengths was knowing the local market. I believe this helped us to price the home appropriately and to have a quick and smooth sale. We also appreciated that she genuinely liked our home. We would certainly recommend her to others.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz Federman sold our house $106K over asking — and showed us how to trust the next generation. My husband and I are not impulsive people. We approached selling our home like a research project — using AI to dig into local agents' sales volume, references, team depth, and average list-to-close times — before inviting six agents in for structured, hour-long interviews. Liz was the first agent to call us back, and not by a little — by a lot. In fact, right out of the gate, when she went to reach me, she realized I'd accidentally transposed two digits in the phone number I'd given her. Instead of giving up or waiting for me to notice, she sleuthed it out and tracked down the correct number herself. That's how we knew, before we'd even met her in person, that we were dealing with someone who was genuinely on it. That instinct was confirmed when she came in — last, at her own request — to interview, and by the time she finished her pitch, my husband and I only needed a glance at each other to know she was the one. That kind of instant agreement is not how we operate. Ever. Part of what won us over was recognizing something about the market we were slow to admit: the neighborhood is turning over to a younger generation of buyers, and it made sense to bet on a younger generation of realtor to reach them. While the other agents leaned on tenure, awards, and team pedigree, Liz showed up with a sharp, modern, pragmatic approach — she talked us out of our instinct toward a quiet private sale, guided us gently but firmly on pricing psychology to drive traffic on the MLS, and backed it all up with a genuinely effective social media presence and reputation with younger buyers in town that we, frankly, didn't have visibility into ourselves. It would have been easy for two longtime homeowners to default to whoever felt most familiar or established. Instead, we let the results speak for themselves, starting with that very first phone call, and it required us to actually let go and trust someone with a different generation's instincts about how buyers today shop, scroll, and decide. That trust paid off immediately. Liz had a photographer at the house within days of signing, and when I wasn't satisfied with the first set of photos, she sent a new photographer without a single question asked. We went live and had an offer 50K over asking the very first afternoon — and where an old-school approach might have said "take the win," Liz counseled patience: "if they love it today, they'll love it Monday." She pushed for an open house instead, and it was the right call. That first offer got cold feet once the buyers saw the crowd Liz's strategy had generated, and we returned from the weekend to seven offers, ranging up to the low $900s, all with appraisal gap waivers and as-is terms. Liz also navigated a dual agency situation with real skill and fairness to both sides once the eventual buyers — who found us purely through her marketing — came in without their own representation. If you're on the fence between a rising name and a more tenured one, our experience says this: the right established firm knows how to develop exactly that kind of talent, and it's worth letting them prove it — starting with how fast and how sharp they are the moment you first reach out. But I'll end on this: the team behind Liz — the Leslie McDonnell team — has been just as impressive as the sale itself. They lent us their moving truck — twice — which alone would have been enough. But the follow-up since closing has genuinely surprised us: a framed picture of the home we sold, a new address stamp for our new place, thoughtful and genuinely useful tips along the way, and even a Christmas ornament. My husband and I are not "joiners" by nature — we don't do fan clubs or loyalty programs — but somehow this team has made us feel like we've actually joined something. That's not something you can fake, and it's not something we expected going in. We started this process only planning to work with Liz. We're leaving it grateful we found the whole team.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz with The Leslie McDonnell Team is AMAZING! Highly recommend working with her for your home buying (or selling) needs. We are first time home buyers, so it was important we worked with someone that we felt had our best interest in mind. She was very attentive and helpful through every step of the process! She found us the perfect home by listening to our wishlist, taking feedback on some of the listings she showed us and using her connections! The process from initially seeing the home to closing was so smooth all because of Liz. She is kind, passionate and dedicated - she’s truly the best! We couldn’t imagine working with anyone else for our real estate needs in the future!

Experiencia fantástica: I can't recommend Liz enough! She was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly throughout the entire home-buying process. She was always so easy to work with, answered all of my questions, and made everything feel much less overwhelming. I truly felt like she had my best interests at heart every step of the way and genuinely wanted me to find the right home and not just make a sale. I'm so grateful for all of her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thanks again Liz!!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Liz was an absolute dream! She made every step of the home-buying process feel seamless and stress-free. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us, not only as individuals, but as a couple—so she could help us find a house that genuinely feels like home. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and weren't sure what to expect. Liz patiently walked us through every step of the process, making sure we understood everything along the way. She was always available to answer our questions, advocate for us, and provide reassurance whenever we needed it. Thanks to her guidance, what could have been an overwhelming experience felt exciting and manageable. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and are so grateful to have had Liz by our side. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, dedicated, and truly invested in helping you find the right home, we can't recommend her highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Liz was incredible to work with, and I would recommend her. From the very beginning of our home search, she went above and beyond to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible. Since we were commuting from the city, our availability to see homes was often limited to odd times, and Liz was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She always found a way to make it work and never made us feel like we were asking too much. What sets Liz apart is her level of customer service. I have never met someone who provides this level of care and attention — not just in real estate, but in any customer experience I have ever had. She was exceptional during the entire buying process and continued to be supportive even after the sale was complete. She genuinely cares about her clients and builds relationships that go far beyond a transaction. Liz is a fighter who will stand up for her clients and make sure their best interests are always the priority. She is knowledgeable, dedicated, responsive, and deeply invested in helping people find the right home. You can tell she truly loves what she does and cares about the people she represents. We feel fortunate to have had Liz on our side throughout this process. Anyone looking to buy or sell a home would be lucky to have her as their realtor.

Experiencia fantástica: We worked with the REMAX team for our recent home purchase.  Liz Turnbaugh-Federman was our primary agent, and she coordinated dozens of showings/tours throughout our search.  She helped answer every one of our numerous questions along the way, and utilized her experience to guide us to a home we are very happy with!  In the few instances where Liz was not available, Danielle stepped in to assist us with other showings/closing.  All in all, we would highly recommend the REMAX team for anyone interested in buying/selling a home.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz was instrumental in helping us secure our first home and break into the highly competitive Libertyville market. She leveraged her network and positioned our offer to ensure ours was most compelling in a multiple-offer situation. Liz connected us with an excellent real estate attorney, and this dynamic duo ultimately won us the home. We're grateful to her and her team's continued support (local contractor recommendations, use of Leslie McDonnell team’s complimentary moving truck, tips on moving to the area, etc.). Thank you, Liz, for your guidance and support in one of life's most significant milestones!

Experiencia fantástica: I have to share our experiences with the Leslie McDonnell team and especially Liz Turnbaugh our agent. My brothers and I had to sell my mom’s house. She is disabled. Liz made this difficult transition as painless as possible. She was extremely professional, effective, efficient and knowledgeable. So much so, that we received a very favourable sale price. The process was a snap! We recommend Liz and the whole team without reservation!!!

Experiencia fantástica: We were referred to the Leslie McDonnell team. We had a great experience working with Liz to buy our house! She made the whole experience seamless and found us a house that met all of our criteria. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Liz was easily the best decision we made during our real estate journey. From our very first meeting, it was clear that she is not only an expert in the local market but also genuinely invested in her clients' success. What really sets Liz apart is her dedication. She handled the "behind-the-scenes" logistics—from attorney reviews to final walkthroughs—with such efficiency that it took a massive amount of stress off our shoulders. If you are looking for an agent who is sharp, reliable, and a pleasure to work with, look no further than Liz!

Experiencia fantástica: Liz Turnbaugh-Federman is a marketing machine and not afraid to go against the typical group thinking of local realtors. We met with Libertyville and Lake County’s top 3 realtors and Liz presented a strategy that would get the most eyes on our listing. Even when we got a great offer before the house officially listed, Liz advised us to wait because she thought the market could yield more but she was also thinking about risk and getting backup offers. We got a lot of offers well above that “great” pre listing offer and the hardest part for us was picking the buyer. If you are selling, go Liz!

Experiencia fantástica: My family worked with Liz and she and her team were amazing. We followed all her recommendations for updates (utilizing her contacts for the work - they got the job done beautifully, worked quickly and did it all for a reasonable price) and worked with her fantastic stager. In a matter of weeks our home was ready to show and we sold it prior to even listing it! All thanks to Liz’s ability to match clients and know the market. The whole experience from beginning to end was a breeze. And we felt supported by Liz and her team every step of the way. It was also extremely helpful to have access to their moving truck for staging and getting rid of some items we no longer needed or wanted to move into storage. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with choosing Liz to be our agent. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her and her team. Libertyville/Green Oaks really is her market. She knows it inside and out.

Experiencia fantástica: I worked with an amazing realtor Liz Turnbaugh-Federman with Leslie McDonnell Team. Liz helped me sell my home in a timely manner besides if I had questions was always available. Besides Liz being amazing the office staff was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend using Liz as a realtor.

Experiencia fantástica: Buying a home can be very stressful for individuals doing it for the first time. Liz Turnbaugh-Federman was our biggest blessing for us during our first time buying a home. Her experience and knowledge in the industry made the process absolutely seamless and stress free. If you're looking for someone with drive, that knows the industry and is extremely professional and attentive to your needs. Liz is the professional you are looking for! We could not thank her enough for always making our needs a priority!

Experiencia fantástica: I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Liz Turnbaugh-Federman. From start to finish, the entire process was handled smoothly and professionally. She took time to understand exactly what I was looking for, and guided me every step of the way with patience and expertise What truly stood out with how stress-free everything felt I never had to worry about the details because she was always one step ahead. Liz’s communication was clear, timely, and reassuring which made the process feel easy and even enjoyable. I’m incredibly grateful for Liz’s dedication and support and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are taken care of!

Experiencia fantástica: Joan did an excellent job helping us sell our townhouse as well as helping us with the purchase of our new home. This is the second time my husband has utilized her for a sale and we were very pleased with the entire process. Joan, we appreciate you. We highly recommend both Joan and the Leslie McDonnell group to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Experiencia fantástica: This is my second time working with Joan and it has always been a pleasure. She is knowledgeable, professional and experienced. I appreciate her honesty and hard work helping my family find our new home. Thank you Joan.

Experiencia fantástica: Great customer service and super helpful by the Leslie McDonnell team! We were just wondering how we would get a renting truck to move and they provide one for free! The team literally thinks of everything you will need in the process! They are super kind and sweet! We love our new home.

Experiencia fantástica: I had the chance to work with Leslie recently, and she was great throughout the entire transaction. She stayed in close communication, was incredibly responsive, and made everything easy for our clients. I’d happily recommend her to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz did a phenomenal job in listing, marketing, and negotiating the sale of our Lake Bluff home. Her team is a great example of a such a well managed, vertically-integrated business that handles every detail, from start to finish. Special mention to Danielle, for all her help, too! The free moving truck was very much appreciated. With the McDonnell Team, we were able to close for about $45k OVER ask.

Experiencia fantástica: Danielle Izen has been the perfect realtor for us. Her knowledge of real estate is vast and helped us to focus on both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home. The process was made smoother because of Danielle’s calm and reassuring advice. She’s been wonderful to work with, always answering every question and using her expertise to guide through the entire process. On a personal note we admire Danielle’s warmth, responsiveness and concern. We felt fortunate to have her as our agent. Howard and Gail

Experiencia fantástica: Danielle was so patient, knowledgeable and truly walked us through every step of the buying process. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her for anything you may need in real estate.

Experiencia fantástica: Joan Meredith with the McDonnell team was very thorough and professional. She answered all my questions promptly and completely. Others on the team also were quick to respond. The team helped make the sale of our house smooth.

Experiencia fantástica: Joan Meredith is a wonderful communicator and always kept me informed! I’d recommend her services!

Experiencia fantástica: We recently worked with Liz and her team to sell our home, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the start, Liz demonstrated true professionalism, guiding us through every step with clear communication, expert market insights, and a strategic approach that maximized our home’s value. Her team was incredibly attentive, always quick to respond to our questions and ensuring we felt supported throughout the process. What truly stood out was how efficiently she handled the sale—she managed to sell our home not once, but twice in a short span, navigating a competitive market with ease. Even better, she had solid backup offers lined up, which gave us peace of mind and helped us close smoothly without any hiccups. If you’re looking for a realtor who delivers results with professionalism and a dedicated team, [Realtor’s Name] is the one to call. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Liz is the best. She took the time to get to know me and what type of home I wanted. She had endless patience as I navigated through that tough time of finding a new home, was always available, gave me her honest perspective, and was very supportive and encouraging. I can’t thank her enough and will absolutely use her again in the future! She gets 10 Gold Stars!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Liz was the best!! She was always available when we were house hunting. She knows what she is talking about and works fast! She also made us feel super comfortable throughout our journey and ended up finding us the perfect home for our family.

Experiencia fantástica: From start to finish this team made sure we had all our bases covered. Sheryl was a rockstar and true professional who helped set us up for success. Highly recommend working with the Leslie McDonnell team

Experiencia fantástica: Liz helped us to find our forever home that we couldn’t be more happy with!

Experiencia fantástica: Liz and her team did an amazing job helping us find our new dream home and selling our old home. Sound advice was provided for our new home purchase and selling our old home. If you want to do things right, give her a call. You will be in great hands.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz Turnbaugh Federman was a rock star. Selling my property was as simple as it can be, with her expertise and fantastic team. I was able to get a premium selling price, and closed in 30 days. I highly recommend you use Liz!

Experiencia fantástica: Leslie McDonald and her whole team were amazing to work with. Leslie encouraged us to list our townhouse much higher than we planned and she negotiated a great price. She still continues to support us even after our closing. Her whole team was super responsive to any of our questions and needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz Turnbaugh The Leslie McDonnell Real Estate Team. We had the most fantastic experience working with Liz Turnbaugh as we searched for a new home to downsize and be closer to Chicago. From the very beginning, Liz stood out with her professionalism, warmth, and unwavering dedication. Her diligence was the key to our success in finding the perfect ranch-style home in a highly competitive market. Liz took the time to truly understand our needs and unique circumstances. She was incredibly responsive, proactive, and always one step ahead in moving things forward. During a particularly intense negotiation, Liz went the extra mile to ensure we secured our dream home. From day one, she earned our trust and made us feel like she was fully on our team, advocating for us every step of the way. Her elite communication skills, prompt follow-up, and calming presence gave us peace of mind throughout the entire buying process. Liz’s network of professionals—from attorneys to local service providers—was top-notch, and her collaboration within The Leslie McDonnell Real Estate Team made the entire experience seamless. We also had the pleasure of selling our previous home with Liz, and that process was just as smooth. The team’s attention to detail—from stunning twilight photography to expert staging advice—made a huge difference. One of the twilight photos of our home is now one of our all-time favorites! Liz is an authentically caring person who truly advocates for her clients. Her kindness, patience, and problem-solving skills made all the difference. She was always available to answer our questions and guide us with care and confidence. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and are so grateful to Liz and the entire team. If you’re looking to buy or sell your home, Liz Turnbaugh is the agent you want by your side. She is a true professional and a genuinely wonderful person. Highly, highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Liz served as our relator for our first time. Being a first time home buyer in a foreign country, she was very patient to answer all our questions and ensured that we get the best. Also the team members she referred for Mortgage, Law Office, Home Inspection etc were highly experienced & talented and all of them ensured our buying process went very smooth. Thanks again Liz.

Experiencia fantástica: I bought a home with The Leslie McDonnell Team and I worked closely with Liz Turnbaugh. She and I looked for homes for over a year and I was a difficult client as I only wanted a home in one area, one street and it had to be done. Patience paid off and we made an offer and Liz suggested a more aggressive offer and I listened and now I am making my house into a home and I couldnt be happier. Thank You.

Experiencia fantástica: Leslie and her team really made our home sale a dream. They listened to our expectations and worked to make them happen. We were able to sell our home within a week at the highest price range for our neighborhood. Thanks Leslie!

Experiencia fantástica: We cannot say thank you enough to Liz. We entered our home buying journey with a poor experience with a different realtor before being referred to Liz by friends of ours, and we cannot express enough how much of an impact she made. It was a night and day difference working with her. It was our first time purchasing a house together and Liz helped us to feel comfortable walking us through every step of the homebuying process and giving us guidance and experienced insight in what to look for, what to avoid, and how to make a competitive offer in a tight market. Every time we had a question she immediately had an answer or admitted she needed to do some digging and would follow up quickly after getting additional information. We ended up buying our dream home, and she advised us how to structure an offer that would take the house off the market before the scheduled open house. Her advice was right, and we were able to secure an accepted offer (even with multiple bids over asking) and avoid additional bids resulting in a bidding war. Through the entire process Liz was warm, attentive, thoughtful, and an expert at her craft. We cannot recommend Liz enough and highly encourage anyone looking to buy or sell their home to give her a call. Thanks Liz! -Maggie & Karl

Experiencia fantástica: Sheryl was the absolute BEST! She helped through the entire process and was always available! I truly believe it was because of her that we landed this beautiful home. The home posted and we called her right away to see it. We were at the home within 3 hours of it posting because she is that great! She answered our questions every time we called and still continues to help us even after we purchased the home. I cannot say enough great things about the Sheryl and the Leslie McDonnell team! Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Leslie and her team just helped us sell our mom’s townhome in The Arlington Club, and we were thrilled to get over asking price. This is the second time we used Leslie, first time being our primary residence in Vernon Hills. We of course selected Leslie due to her being one of the absolute best in the industry. She and her team are very professional and make sure all the details are taken care of. I always will highly recommend Leslie and her team!

Experiencia fantástica: Liz Turnbaugh Federman did an AWESOME job helping us find a home in Grayslake. She gave us her honest opinion always and we believe helped us snag the home of our dreams by using some creative strategies to beat the other buyers. She did awesome and we are so appreciative of her and her team (including Mark!).

Experiencia fantástica: Leslie is an experienced and brilliant agent. We have worked together on multiple real estate deals. I have found her to be an essential partner/advisor in getting deals done.

Experiencia fantástica: Sheryl is amazing, she has helped my family for years now and always looked out for our best interest. She is very warm and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz was fantastic. Being new to the Libertyville area, her knowledge was crucial to us finding the right home in the right location. Thanks, Liz!!

Experiencia positiva: We sold my sister-in-law's home with this company and Liz was very helpful during the whole process.

Experiencia fantástica: I have worked with Danielle Izen on numerous transactions. She’s honest, hard-working, always willing to jump in and help to get the job done. If you’re looking to buy or sell, give her a call.

Experiencia fantástica: Our experience with Liz was really great. A little background, we always said when we downsized, we always wanted to move to Riva Ridge, and we wanted a unit with 1st floor bedroom. Liz called and said there was such a unit available. We looked, we bought. The very next day she showed our home and her clients bought. In our wildest dreams we never thought it would happen so fast. It was because of Liz. She new her clients, she knew her market and was extremely professional. She walked us through both sales, step by step. Our experience could not have been easier. We for sure would recommend Liz to anyone and everyone. It was truly a great experience. Thanks Liz.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz always responded quickly and provided frequent updates during the negotiation process. She helped me understand what she was putting in the contract and why it was needed. She was very familiar with the main area I was looking to buy a house in and was able to let me know what an appropriate price for each house was. The Leslie McDonnell Team also provides a free moving truck after your purchase, which is very helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: We called Leslie almost two years ago with the intent of moving possibly in the future. We also wanted her input on what to do to get our house ready for sale if and when we did find a house we liked. Her team respected our wishes and patiently helped us along. We found our dream house and sold ours all with Leslie’s team supporting us all the way. Just couldn’t ask for better.

Experiencia fantástica: Liz Turnbaugh does it again! We just bought our 3rd property with Liz. She is so helpful, knowledgeable, and honest. Her follow-up really makes her stand out among others! We were up against "at least a dozen other offers." Ours wasn't even the highest, but her follow-up and communication skills with the other agent made us stand out and get chosen! We were thrilled. She is a fabulous Realtor and we will use her and recommend her time and time again!

Experiencia fantástica: Thanks to the Leslie McDonnell Team for all their hard work and dedication when selling our home! Very friendly and efficient team with excellent communication during the whole process! Thanks again!

Experiencia fantástica: Five stars to Leslie

Experiencia fantástica: We used Leslie and her team to buy our first home. First of all, Leslie was incredible to talk with and explain the process to us. She connected us with Liz, who was the realtor we worked with, and was incredible. As first time homebuyers, we required a lot of support and guidance and she went above and beyond to make sure we had it. She was always available to answer questions and explain things in a way that we could understand. If you're looking for a realtor who is super knowledgable, charismatic, and able to make your house buying experience stress-free, look no further. Highly recommend this group!

Experiencia fantástica: An incredible experience! Leslie made a stressful time easy! Her team is an awesome efficient group that makes the selling process super understandable and totally organized. They give all the necessary support to make the process as simple and as stress free as possible. You are a team of all “10’s”!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience, great team and great results.

Experiencia fantástica: We worked with Deborah who was amazing along with everyone else on the Leslie McDonnell Team. She was always available to show us places and gave us really good insight to the different neighborhoods and things to look for (First homebuyers). She was a huge part of us having our offer accepted and they even have a moving truck for free use! Next time we are in the housing market we won't look further than this team. -Jacob

Experiencia fantástica: On Leslie's team we had Joan as our lead realtor. She was beyond incredible. She came prepared, gave us all the information we needed to sell the house before putting it on the market and then expertly listed our house with the most beautiful pictures. She sell of our property was well communicated and the execution was flawless. We could not have been happier selling with Joan. She was an absolute gem.

Experiencia fantástica: Easy Peasy! Thanks for all your help, you kept us very informed during the process. Happy with the outcome.

Experiencia fantástica: Our recent home purchase with The Leslie McDonald Real Estate team was such as smooth process, all thanks to our agent Liz. Her expertise and prompt communication helped us secure the purchase of a dream home. She is a true professional! She has great problem solving and negotiating skills. If you are looking to buy or sell your home, this is the team to do it with! We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and we highly recommend Liz as your agent.

Experiencia fantástica: We just bought a house thanks to Liz Turnbaugh! She was nothing but amazing. She is so knowledgeable so patient and professional! Rest of the Leslie McDonell team was very supportive, detailed and followed us till the end smoothly!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Liz has truly been AWESOME!! She’s highly skilled and knowledgeable in Real Estate and her negotiation skills are next level! I can’t recommend her enough for all your real estate needs. You will NEVER regret working with her and the team.

Experiencia fantástica: You definitely want Liz on your team! She had the knowledge and experience to write an amazing offer that “won” me the perfect townhome despite multiple offers. She has connections to great lawyers and mortgage lenders that made the whole process go smoothly. She is also just fun to work with!

Experiencia fantástica: I used the Leslie McDonnell Team to buy and sell a home and could not have been happier with the expertise this team brings.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the second time I have used Leslie and her team to sell my home and I was very pleased both times. The team lets you know what needs to be done and when and Leslie is there for any questions. I highly recommend Leslie and her team.

Experiencia fantástica: Leslie's team made buying our new home as easy as it could be. Everyone was quick to respond to any questions we had and on top of everything that needed to be done. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to push the closing date up so I could make it to a vacation that was scheduled before the process started. Although I don't plan on purchasing a new home soon, I will be contacting them again when the time comes and sending recommendations to everyone that needs a realtor.

Experiencia fantástica: The team was so helpful in every step of the way. We couldn't have chose somebody better to help sell and buy our new home. Highly recommend!!! Shout-out to the whole team. We even got a couple special thank you gifts we absolutely loved!

Experiencia fantástica: Very easy to work with and extremely professional.....that goes for the entire team.

Experiencia fantástica: Leslie’s team rocks! Our realtor, Liz, is such a friendly person, and worked tirelessly to help us find our next house. She was always accessible for any questions that arose. We highly recommend using Liz! And after our sale the support team provided an awesome array of assistance including reminders and free use of their moving truck for a day.

Experiencia fantástica: Judy Scanlan with this ReMax is the best! She sold me my last two homes and made it as easy on me as she possibly could. She is also pure sunshine! Great person & Company to work with!

Experiencia fantástica: Worked with the Leslie McDonnell Team, and it was an amazing experience. They ensured to stay on top of the timeline and check-in to make sure we were doing everything to have the smoothest and on-time closing of the property. We worked with Sheryl Engle when we were buying our property and she was responsive and extremely knowledgeable about aspects of houses we should look out for and details of the villages and communities. Sheryl was also very attentive and responsive to meet with some of the last minute requests we had for a few showings.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent customer service!

Experiencia negativa: Our experience was a negative one. Of course, the difficult old, moody, and picky owners, esp. a lady-spouse with British accent who tried to follow and boss us at our inspection and sell us her old furniture (incl. a coach with broken leg), and the old interior (rotten wood windows, etc.), cracked garage door, old huge ugly pine trees clogging the gutters with piles of needles, etc. was not Leslie's fault, but her communication was very sloppy and delayed. She delegated her cust. service manager, Jasmine Taylor, who seemed very lost. She was always late to respond and missed important communication, e.g. never confirmed our agent's e-mails about inspection and then asked to confirm the very inspection our agent e-mailed about twice. But the reason I even bothered to post a review about her at all was her unprofessional response to our Inspection Report findings and related request for credit. She called it "nit-picking" (probably quoted the lady owner). If nothing else, the agent should remain neutral and professional in her communication and refrain from the moody owners' labels and metaphors. Then they held our Earnest Money for some 10 days or so. Anybody can list a property and collect a commision check, but a true professional is more than that. But, perhaps, she can care less; I see her name on many For Sale signs, so all Vernon Hills and Lake County is in her pocket, so why worry about one bad review? Very bad impression...

Experiencia fantástica: We were very impressed with our experience with Leslie's team. Their professionalism and communication during the experience was fantastic. We would highly recommend them to prospective sellers. AAA+

Experiencia fantástica: Very effective and efficient real estate listing team. From day one staging, photography, net listing and social networking, through many, many showings and follow ups till Leslie ushered us through final negotiations and sale, she and her team performed wonderfully.

Experiencia fantástica: Leslie McDonnell and her team provide a first class experience for all of her customers. When my customers are moving to Chicago, I always check to see if they will be in Leslie's area. She works hard to make sure that they are well represented.

Experiencia fantástica: Whenever I have a client who's considering a move out of the Hinsdale area to the greater Libertyville area, I only need to make one call-to Leslie McDonnell. Leslie and her team are pros. I know my clients will be well taken care of. I have referred dozens of clients to the Leslie McDonnell Team. Sometimes people wonder why a Coldwell Bankr agent refers clients to a RE/MAX agent. I do so because it is the right decision as there is no higher level of residential real estate service provider in the far northern suburbs than Leslie.
