Amie Klujian – Swake Group Real Estate

We found Amie through her wonderful reviews on Unilocal,so I have to pay it forward. My fiancé and I were looking to buy our first condo in Chicago and I cannot imagine completing the transaction without Amie at our side. She listened carefully to what we needed, offered a unique perspective on properties we thought we were interested, and delivered our dream home after four showings! The process of completing the transaction was very stressful because of my particular lender, but Amie took care of everything and was cool, calm, and collected no matter what happened. Whether you are new to the real estate market or a seasoned veteran, Amie is an incredible asset and a true professional.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Amie yet! She helped my partner and I purchase our first condo in 2009. The process couldn’t have been any smoother. She listened to what we wanted and definitely tracked down the best options for us. She also gave us a wealth of information as we were both new to the home buying process. If any of our friends are looking for an agent we immediately recommend Amie. She really is the best!

My husband and I found Amie through Unilocal when we decided to start condo hunting in Chicago. We were property virgins and new to the city as well. Amie was very helpful in guiding us through the whole process. She was very understanding and never pushed us to buy anything beyond our budget. She is extremely professional, yet, very friendly. She goes the extra mile to help her clients out.
If you are looking for a buyer’s agent in the Chicago area, she is THE best.

Woohoo! I found Amie of Swake Group through a personal network, and she served as my buyer’s agent for the condo I purchased earlier this year.
Professional, friendly, and helpful throughout, I am hard-​pressed to think of anything Amie could have done differently or better to improve my home-​buying experience. It was all totally painless, except for the five-​hour closing which was IN NO WAY the agent’s fault.
I unreservedly recommend Amie to you if you are buying and need a representative to help you narrow your search, schedule appointments, and conduct the buying process.

I «auditioned» several real estate agents when planning to sell my condo. I was immediately impressed with Amie Klujian and the other agents on the Swake Group team because they were not only more prepared than the other agents I met with, but they were also more responsive with feedback. For example, two other agents simply quoted the selling price of the last unit in my building to sell as what I should set as my asking price; Swake Group actually researched the neighborhood to make sure their suggested asking price was in line with comparables having sold recently and with what else was on the market. In addition, while other agents said the condo looked just fine the way it was, Amie and her team not only made several suggestions for how to better stage my condo, they also came over and did a mini-​makeover of the bedroom (new furniture, bedding, etc.) to make it look bigger when the unit didn’t sell right away. I couldn’t believe what a difference this made.
I really liked their team approach. Rather than just one person working with you, there are multiple professionals working together. They did everything you would expect from real estate agents and more: beautiful photos/​great listing, excellent staging, open houses if I wanted them, prompt communication, etc. (Amie even stopped by to water my plants while I was out of town for an extended period of time!) They brought in a great offer after only a short time on the market, at a time when things were beginning to look really uncertain. Amie and her teammates more than earned their commission. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs to sell or buy a home.
