Frank Polancic

Frank would be upset if I gave him 5 stars because he always wants to deliver a better experience for his clients. He is much more than a great real estate agent. he will probably become a contact in your life, a fun person to have a coffee with, a person who you feel comfortable asking advice from and a sure way to find your rock star home. call him, interview him, let him show you why people recommend him for all types of real estate goals. He know the business bottom to top and is not a soft uppity above it agent you often find around the city. he is blue collar attitude and polished skills of the elite agents. like I said. just interview him

Want an agent you can rely on in a hurricane? Look no further. Frank will get you through the storm. He’s a pro when it comes to real estate. I’ve known him for 20 years and I can say firsthand that he really cares about what he does. He puts a degree of heart, honesty and genuine love into his work that you can’t get anywhere else.

I’m in Commercial Real Estate and my partner & I own a condo in Old Town facing Wells St. We Love the location.
Some of the other Realtors I spoke with gave me all the same info, comps, Zillow is inaccurate, we have international reach etc. I found much on my own googling. But Frank really bottom-​lined what mattered in our concerns and empowered us to choose despite all the weirdness market.
It’s great knowing there is someone actively reaching out to the market and working on our behalf vs. just listing our property, putting it out to a zillion mirror-​sites, and waiting for the phone to ring. Frank showed me how he makes more calls a day than other agents do in a month.
Frank has proved to be an extremely knowledgeable Marketing Professional who really understood tons about condo ownership, my neighborhood, and my whole building. If you’re in Chicago, call Frank. If he can’t help you, he knows someone who can.

Frank did a great job! I referred Frank to a client of mine. His Town Home sold for slightly less than Frank’s market analysis suggested. It was not easy for my client to accept this competitive market analysis (CMA) but Frank’s honesty and genuine approach ultimately made a difference in the long run. I’d recommend him to anyone buying or selling Real Estate in Chicago!

I am an real estate agent in the suburbs and when it came time to referring one of my past clients to a city agent, Frank was my guy. I met Frank through a seminar and was impressed with his knowledge and expertise.
He was a professional. He met with the sellers, priced the property right and made a few suggestions to help make it show better. He also was very sensitive to their situation. They were moving an aging aunt into a nursing home.
Within 30 days it was under contract. Within 90 days it was closed for close to asking price at $ 490,000. It was a smooth transaction from start to finish. They were delighted.
I highly recommend Frank for any residential Real Estate transaction in the city of Chicago.

Re/​Max Central

I used Frank to sell my place after my father had such success with him. He was professional and friendly. I really liked the pictures he took and the description he put on the mls. We agreed on a price to list at and after only 3 days on the market, I had 2 offers. Frank worked hard for me and got me an offer above asking. As a first time seller, I was nervous up until the day of closing. But everything went smoothly and Frank always took time to answer my many questions. I am searching for a new place now and Frank is being just as attentive with helping me on the search. He is a great agent, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Even though my condo was listed on
, and specifically stated: REALTORS, DO NOT CALL TO SOLICIT, Frank Polancic clearly didn’t adhere to my request. To be fair, I did offer any Realtor a BAC, which is a «Buyer’s Agent Commission», IF they had a potential *buyer* in mind. I clearly indicated on all of my online listings, whether it was CL, or sites such as
, that I would not allow Realtors to solicit. Here’s where the annoying Frank P. comes into play:
Frank called me on numerous occasions, and insisted that I listen to his sales pitch. I did. In return, I politely informed him that my listing clearly indicated that I didn’t want Realtors to solicit me. I, then told him if he had a potential buyer in mind, I would gladly entertain paying him a generous BAC. He didn’t have anyone in mind, but simply was calling to annoy me, and use his aggressively rude sales pitch in an attempt to pursuade me to list with Keller Williams.
Here’s how the phone conversations with Frank went:
Frank P: You know that the Wall Sreet Journal states that the housing market is going to get much worse, right?

ME: Well, yes, because I actually read the Journal, daily. And, unlike most morons, I could see this coming back in 2005 when Realtors were telling uneducated home buyers that houses and condos were a great investment. Further– when banks were handing out mortgages to deadbeats with 490 FICO scores, it was only a matter of time before that over inflated bubble, burst.
Frank P. {long sigh} Uh, yeah, like I said, the Wall Street Journal states that housing is getting worse. So, let me ask you this… would you be willing to accept $ 125,000 less than your asking price?
ME: {Now Frank has successfully pissed me off} So, let me get this straight… you are trying to solicit me in an attempt to get me to list with Keller Williams, and pretty much telling me that I could sell my condo (with ease), if I took 25% off of the list price, correct? So, why the hell do I need you, because Mickey Fucking Mouse could sell this condo at that absurd low ball price!
Frank P: Well, because as a professional in this business, I can get you the buyers to close this deal. In addition, I’m in expert in feng shiu, and this will give you a much needed edge.
ME: I don’t own a condo in SoHo; therefore, you can keep your feng shiu! Now, I respectfully ask that you refrain from calling me, *unless* you have a potential buyer in mind.
–dialtone–
Unfortunately, Frank kept calling. Regardless of how many times I hung up on him, he kept calling… and calling.
Now, I never would’ve wrote this review, but since I sold my condo in May, Frank actually called me, AGAIN! Yes, a few days ago, Frank called 3 times. I hadn’t talked to the ever so annoying Frank P. in a while, so I didn’t recognize the number, and answered his call. It went something like this:
Frank P: Yes, this is Frank Polancic and I’m calling about your listing in Lincoln Square.
ME: {Interrupted him} Frank, the condo sold in May. Do you not look at the MLS before you make these phone calls?
Frank P: {Disgruntled mumbling, and a very long sigh} Uhhh, uh, no, I don’t.
ME: Of course, you don’t. Maybe you should!
I proceeded to hang up on him, and I pray to God that this asshole never, ever calls me again. A typical, rude, annoying, argumentative, prick of a Realtor.
No shit Frank– the market is in the toilet. But, I would assume that you tell your buyers that we are in the summer of recovery…
JERK!
