So a small story about how HL2R came in absolute CLUTCH for us. My partner and I were in Chicago on a trip to see properties when our previous real-estate agent fell through. It was fourth of July weekend and it was already Saturday and we were expecting the whole trip to be a total dud. That is until Ben, one of their agents, reached out to us through Zillow. He scheduled multiple sh...

Ben was excellent to work with - we will prioritize using him for future home purchases/sales. He is a clear communicator, available to answer any questions, and ensures the best value for his clients. From our first meeting, Ben demonstrated his preparation and clearly provided data-driven evidence on how he believed we should market our home for sale. He then spent significant time ...

Working with Ben and his team at H2LR was a great experience. Ben was always incredibly responsive and worked with our schedules to help us narrow down and, ultimately, buy our house. As first time homebuyers we knew the process would be daunting, but Ben’s resources and his team’s expertise made it so we could always trust we’d get an accurate, timely answer to any questions we had.

I would unreservedly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a real estate agent. He was already attentive and helpful when we were first dipping our toes into the water, then he turned it up a notch when we decided to put in an offer. As first-time buyers, we needed a lot of handholding and reassurance, and he provided that. He helped us negotiate a good chunk off the asking price, conne...
