"Being new to Chicago we felt out of our element and in need of real help! We were lucky enough to find Karl Whittenbarger at an open house and upon contacting him we were immediately impressed with his timely response to get us looking at properties online until we were able to set up a time to meet in person and start seeing properties. From day one we felt that everything we said was listened to in detail and taken to heart...he was searching for places in our best interest which helped us feel secure in the huge commitment we were about to make by purchasing a home. In the end, after several days over a few weeks of going out and looking at places to buy, we found a home that we wanted to make our own. He explained the process of how everything would proceed and even though at that point it was up to getting the loan approval, attorney review period, inspection, etc. ! Karl was in contact with us and never made us feel that we were on our own. I would highly recommend Karl Whittenbarger as your agent when looking for a home...he's honest, helpful and makes you feel at ease."

"“When I was selling my condo, I was also relocating to another state, getting married and starting a new job, so Karl’s thorough communication and personal touches made the condo the least of my worries. Not only that, he was there and available when anything needed to be done with the condo while it was on the market. Karl always provided information regarding the amount of traffic at the condo as well as feedback from people who had seen my place. His guidance during the process expedited the sale of my place during a slow market. He is a great businessman and Realtor!”"

"My wife and I were looking for our first condo. We'd lived in our neighborhood for years, and wanted to make sure we were working with someone who knew the area as well as we did. Karl Whittenbarger listened carefully to what we wanted, and showed us a wide variety of homes that were within our budget. When we couldn't find exactly the right home, he introduced us to a new construction project that hadn't yet been publicized. We fell in love with the building, as it was right down the street from our existing apartment! Karl worked with us through every step of the construction process, even offering advice during the selction process for our finishes and upgrades. He also introduced us to a real estate attorney and worked closely with our existing mortgage broker. From our initial search to the day we closed, Karl was there to help make the difficult decisions much easier!"

"As a first time homebuyer, I was extremely overwhelmed at the onset. Karl made everything simple and smooth by clearly explaining each step of the process. He understood exactly what I was looking for, and did not waste my time with properties that were outside my criteria. He was a trustworthy partner when evaluating each property by pointing out details I otherwise would have failed to notice. Ultimately, Karl gave me the confidence to purchase my first property, and facilitated an easy process."
