Relocation Client - Batavia J.H 2016 (Zillow Review)
"I am very grateful to have met John Greco, John has calmly helped us buy and sell at least 4 properties in the last few years. This man works tirelessly day and night (even on vacation) to ensure everyone is satisfied! There is a comfort zone to his personality and how he presents himself in a patient and professional manner. Having engaged him as my agent I have no regrets, only accolades. I am more than pleased with his knowledge of both buying and selling and would highly recommend him. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, guidance and most of all for being a good friend. John, you know if there is any need in the future I will be calling on you. Until next time
Multiple Transactions N. Aurora/South Elgin C.T. 2015 (Zillow Review)
John was very professional, attentive, and savvy. He held our hands through the entire process, and never made us feel as if any of our questions were "dumb questions". His knowledge was evident from the start. We were extremely impressed with his attention to detail and willingness to take a call during busy parts of the day. Thank you, John, for all your efforts and, more importantly, getting our home sold! 5 stars for sure... We highly recommend John if you are interested in selling or buying a home!

From the beginning, John was very courteous and professional. He is ALWAYS cell phone and e-mail available. We had a bit of a situation on our hands and John and I were e-mailing back and forth until 1 a.m. the night of our offer. He battled for us and we ended up getting the price we wanted. Since the purchase, John has called and offered help and ideas about the house. He has great ideas about interior design as well. I bet he could be a builder, designer, and/or decorator if he were not such a great realtor. John is also helping me with some general contracting (he has some great contacts). I have already recommended John to all of my friends and family. I have another house/rental where I will definitely be using G Real Estate Co. to help me.

John Greco was recommended to us in 2002 when we were looking to buy our first home; his recommendation came from the HR director of the company I worked for at the time. We thought buying a house was going to be a scary process - but John had been working the Chicagoland area for so long that he knew exactly what to show us once he developed an understanding of how we approached life. In less than a month, we were the owners of an affordable house in downtown Glen Ellyn - with a huge leafy yard, older-home charm, and a location that put us within walking distance of the village, the train station, the Prairie Path, the schools. John nailed it! He helped us negotiate with the sellers and connected us with an attorney as well. We stayed in touch with John over the years - and when the time came for us to move out of state, John gave us a picture of the grim seller's market and offered to manage the property for us as we rented it for three years until the market improved. John was very dependable, addressing any tenant needs and finding great trades people to correct any issues that arose while we were living across the country (e.g. furnace issues, hot water heater replacement, a roofer when a storm knocked a tree onto the roof, etc.) John handled those transactions for us, negotiating pricing on labor and materials and being a great point of contact for our renters to settle any of their concerns. When the market started picking up, John presented us with a variety of small projects that he knew would help our chances with a good sale when the time came for us to sell the property. He worked with multiple contractors and material suppliers to help us remodel the kitchen and a bathroom and to dress up the house in a number of ways that had a big impact for a relatively small investment. All the work was completed over two months and the house looked much better than when we used to live there. (Why didn't we think to do this for ourselves if it all could have been done in two months at such an affordable price?!?!?) Once we put the house on the market, we received multiple bids - two of which ended up competing against each other to result in a very good price, considering the still-recovering market. The whole time, John was managing negotiations with multiple parties and kept in constant communication with us from afar via phone, e-mail, and texts. I cannot say enough about the great experience we have had with John Greco over the past decade. He is knowledgeable about so many different things in real estate: the Chicagoland market, lending practices and how to approach financing (he has colleagues who can provide mortgages), negotiations, dependable connections in a variety of trades (building supplies, plumbing, painting, tile work, wood work, electrical work, law, lending, etc.), renting/buying/selling. We always felt that John was being honest with us - and not just because there always was a paper trail to verify what he told us, but because he really had our best interest in mind. We are so happy that John was recommended to us years ago - we consider him a friend.

John Greco assisted us in our new construction purchase in Batavia Township in 2000. He assisted us by not only in selecting the right builder, but he was very active in all facets of the process - including choosing the appropriate structural upgrades, guiding us through the finance requirements, and acting as our overall mentor. In addition, John quickly listed and sold our town home in Bloomingdale so we could commit to the new construction. Recently, when we decided to invest in a rental property, we called John because we knew he was experienced in buying, selling, and managing rental properties. He knew right where to take us. He had the knowledge of foreclosed properties that offered a great return with almost no risk. We used retirement funds to purchase a property that will pay for itself in less than three years - not to mention, when we are ready to downsize, we will have a paid-in-full home to go to - talk about peace of mind! I will continue to rely on John Greco for all my real estate needs. He has been a key contributor to the success of my investments and overall financial stability. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone interested in partnering with a real estate expert. Thank you, John!

I would highly recommend John - a very pleasant and caring person. It has been a pleasure working with someone of his caliber. Entering into a very stressful sale of our house in an economy that dictates the value, John gave us options that enabled us to maximize and move our property quickly through persistent negotiation with all parties involved. Being a novice myself in real estate, John has a keen ability to patiently explain related terminology and the processes, keeping anxiety levels down. I never had a problem getting in touch to ask questions throughout the entire process. Excellent response through phone, e-mail, and texting.

I had looked at several properties with other realtors and had just cancelled a contract on a home I felt I had "settled" for. I continued looking online and contacted John to see a home I was interested in. After seeing it and being disappointed with how small it was, I told him what I was looking for. John asked if I had time to see another home just down the road. He said we could look at 50 properties, but he was sure this particular home "fit the bill" and was in my 15-mile requested radius. We went over and it was exactly what I was looking for, plus a little more. I was so impressed at how well he knew the area and the properties that were available in it. Being a first-timer, I had no idea what to do next. John guided me through the entire process and my bid was accepted almost immediately. This put everything in high gear, but John had it all under control. Everything went smoothly and the time from first seeing the property to the closing was about seven weeks. I couldn't have been happier. If I ever find myself in need of a realtor again, John is the person I will contact. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend him.
