| Elizabeth is wonderful. Conscientious, knowledgeable, honest, energetic, on the ball, realistic, professional! Elizabeth was so very helpful in getting our condo unit in condition for sale ... and there was a lot of work involved. Elizabeth Ballis is the consummate pro! |

| Elizabeth came recommended to me from an old client that had worked with her many years ago. I knew that after my first initial visit w/Elizabeth that she was the right realtor to assist me in selling my unit. She was professional, courteous and had done much research on not only the area but the other units that were for sale in the building. Elizabeth did a great marketing campaign on the unit and worked well with all of the applicable parties (i.e. building manager, doormen, etc.) She kept me updated on each showing that occurred as well. With the economy & housing market being as difficult as it currently is this year Elizabeth amazed me by selling my condo in under 90 days. It was amazing! It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth Ballis and I look forward to using her again in the future. |

| Elizabeth was very professional and helpful. With her we were able to find exactly what we wanted. We will definitely use her again in the future if we have other real estate needs. |

| The market was bad when we placed our home on the market - and it steadily deteriorated from there. My wife and I thought our place was "just perfect". Thinking otherwise, you tactfully - but not too tactfully - suggested some improvements (expensive) and some cosmetic work (cheap). I pulled out my wallet and consented to both. Then we hit some speed bumps with unreasonable inspectors and paranoid prospective buyers. Throughout it all, you were like a sea anchor to a vessel in rough weather. You feathers remained always unruffled. Your consistent approach was, "Let's see what we can do to solve this problem." And, you did. And, we sold our home in a not unreasonable time at a not unreasonablee price. I can and do unconditionally recommend you to others who are buying or selling a Chicago residence. Any such person is welcome to telephone me if he or she so desires. |

| Elizabeth is pleasant, professional and thorough. She'll visit the property, have professional pictures taken, work with you on your property description and post all on the CB internet site. If you are priced right for the market, she'll sell it quickly. |

| Paul & Lisa Welch, 2007 |
| Elizabeth & her team did a great job for us while we moved out of town during the sale of our property. She went above and beyond helping us make repairs during the inspection process. She made it easy on us. |

| Amanda Knight, 2007 |
| Elizabeth was wonderful! We used her for buy and sell and she definitely had our interests at heart. Elizabeth was accessible, helpful, and always gave us the best advice. We would absolutely use her again! |

| At our request, Elizabeth Ballis scheduled a whilrwind tour of properties on a Sunday, with visits to desirable condominiums based on her extensive research and frequent email review by internet of her recommendations prior to the visit. In a single afternoon we were able to do effective "comparison shopping" and make an offer two days later. Elizabeth did a great job expediting the entire process and we were able to meet our fast track objective of buying, closing, and moving in less than 25 days. |

| Great experience! I love our new home! Thaks for the help and most importantly selling Division! Please feel free to use me as a reference.(Buyer and seller). |

| Gary Prestopino & Laura Bunich, 2007 |
| Elizabeth and her team performed exceptionally in the sale of our residence at 641 West Willow. She did a great job in guiding us through the sales process from pricing, staging, showings and negotiating the sales price. We would heartily recommend her services to anyone considering the sales/purchase of a residence on the North side of the City of Chicago. |
|
| John Pak & Jeehyun Lee, 2007 |
| The team (Elizabeth et al) provided excellent care and diligence during our home buying process. Beyond her affable and courteous manner, her extensive experience directed the home buying transaction to a mere seamless endeavor that allayed all of our concerns. We felt comfortable with her and trusted her expertise without reservation. We fully intend to continue our relationship with her in the future and expect to refer our friends and family. We wish her and her staff well. |

| Amy Tschorn, 2007 |
| I really enjoyed working with Elizabeth. I thought she was a hard worker and did her utmost to sell my home. She was dedicated and determined. She knew the market and she was confident about the steps she took to sell my residence. She took her time explaining things to me and was very thorough in everything she did. She helped to facilitate the closing process and I was confident she was working in my best interest. I was no longer living in Chicago towards the end of the process but Elizabeth put my mind at ease. Thank you Elizabeth for all that you did. |

| Dana Ricciardi, 2007 |
| Looking for my first home could not have been a better experience. Elizabeth knew what I wanted in a place and was able to show me many options. The other realtors we worked with knew of Elizabeth's talent and wanted to work with her. That definitely made me feel confident in my choices. I am so happy living in my new home. Thank you Elizabeth. |

| This is our second very successful dealing with Elizabeth. Elizabeth also sold our city building 22 years ago. We like dealing with E.B. because she is honest, works hard and listens well. She has excellent market knowledge and obvious other brokers respect. Even after this recent condo purchase she is still following through on final closing details. |
|
| Patricia Rexford, 2007 |
| Elizabeth and her team were fantastic! I would highly recommend them to anyone. I worked with Elizabeth in 1999 to sell my old home and purchase a new one and was very impressed with her responsiveness and accessibility. She is also just a genuinely nice person. It was a no-brainer for my husband and me to call her again when we decided to move this time around. She and her team sold our place for top dollar in a remarkable three and a half weeks in a very slow market. They then kicked into overdrive to help us find a new place in plenty of time before the closing on the sale. Everyone was always just a phone call or an email away, and they all responded right away (especially Elizabeth, who is almost never separated from her Blackberry!). I hope not to have to move again for a long time, but if I do, I know I'll call Elizabeth. |

| Elizabeth and her staff are terrific. She was most helpful, patient, understood our needs - and made it happen. |
|
| Peter & Linda Krivkovich, 2007 |
| Over the many years we have bought and sold numerous homes. In each location we have looked for a "best of class" broker. We have been fortunate to have several. Elizabeth, however, set a new standard - a partnership the likes of which we had not experienced previously. We expected someone to listen to our wants and needs and show us options. Elizabeth went so much further. She helped us crystalize the pros and cons, better evaluate our criteria, and then, much to our surprise, was an outstanding, ongoing partner. Not only was she there throughout our negotiations, but after the deal stayed with us throughout a very lengthy, and at times complex, two year build out - even to the point of keeping us advised on local issues after closure. She is not just an outstanding broker who knows. She truly is a partner. That's rare. That's extremely valuable. She is one of a kind. |

| Arnold M Leib, 2007 |
| Highly professional, extremely competent and communicative. Absolutely the very best! |
|
| Jason Glickman, 2007 |
| Elizabeth was an absolute joy to work with. She was a consumate professional throughout the entire process. As first time buyers, we were looking for someone with great local market knowledge who would expose us to an array of good options, while not pushing us towards a decision until we were ready. Elizabeth delivered 150% on this front, and I look forward to working with her again in the future. I cannot recommend her highly enough to all prospective clients! |
|
| Gary DeLain, 2007 |
| I recently engaged Elizabeth Ballis to help sell my downtown condo and she was fantastic. Her client base and knowledge of the market helped achieve a quick sale at the optimum price. Elizabeth went well beyond my expectations with all aspects of the sale, closing and move. I can't thank Elizabeth enough and highly recommend her services. |
|
| Rolf E Hempel, 2007 |
| I have been involved in at least 20 real estate transactions in the last 33 years. In that time, I have dealt with many competent Real Estate agents and I would put Elizabeth Ballis at the top of that list. Elizabeth was very professional in her dealings with me and made the whole process go very smoothly. If I have any further real estate deals in the Chicago area, I will certainly use Elizabeth as my agent. |
|
| Howard & Jane Tiffen, 2006 |
| Elizabeth worked very hard on our behalf. We would definitely use her again. Elizabeth has a wonderful talent of anticipating our questions and needs in a transaction. She made sure everything ran smoothly and was stress free for us. |
|
| Noah Weiss & Nidhi Agrawal, 2006 |
| As first-time buyers in a new city (moved to Chicago from New York), we were delighted and relieved to find a real estate agent as experienced, professional and patient as Elizabeth. Elizabeth helped acclimate us to the different Chicago neighborhoods, and carefully walked us through every step of the home-buying process. We are very happy in our new home! |
|
| Carole Ryczek, 2006 |
| Elizabeth is everything a client could want in a realtor; professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and honest. I really enjoyed working with her, and I would do so again in a heartbeat. |
|
| Jim & Maura Schumacher, 2006 |
| We have dealt with Elizabeth for approximately five years and have always found her to be attentive, understanding, responsive, professional and honest. When our children were looking for a Chicago residence we recommended Elizabeth. All of us are very satisfied and happy with her experienced guidance. |
|
| Randall Larrimore, 2006 |
| Elizabeth did a fantastic job of selling my house. Despite only owning it two years, I received pretty much my asking price. She was really helpful in marketing the property and did most of the work herself. She also handled repairs and other things the buyer wanted done without my involvement. She's very professional and knows her business. I'd recommend her to anyone, anytime. |
