George was awesome helping me find exactly what I was looking for - location/space/layout and most importantly (for me) long term value. He was helpful through the entire process of locating/negotiating/closing and also helped me with his network of contacts from handymen to home inspectors to even closing attorneys. Always responsive and not afraid to tell me when he didn't know an answer, George was great to work with!

Bought a Single Family home in 2017 for approximately $325K in Lombard, IL.
We were buying our first home and had referrals from family and friends to use their previous agents. Rather than simply go with someone through one referral, I wanted to select someone with ample experience and many references in regards to buying a home. By chance my wife Maggie talked to George to arrange a showing for a home he had listed. The appointment had to be cancelled but after looking into George's reviews, I knew we both should meet with him and look at some properties together.

We only looked at a few homes. We were very happy with what George was able to show us within the confines of our budget and our geographic constraints to the train and highway. I showed him our "dream house" which was listed about 25K more than we wanted to spend. Essentially George said there is no harm in asking. Within about 15 minutes he was able to arrange a showing and ascertain what was going on with the house.

The house was a short sale but was not listed as so. It also had a pending offer (also not listed) so we had to wait for the first buyer to either have their bid accepted or denied by the bank. He was able to connect very quickly with the selling agent. I truly believe his amazing rapport was able to help the selling agent understand that we were serious and ready.

The seller and their agent proved to be very difficult to work with. When we started the inspection process, we discovered the home had no working furnace. George was able to resolve this quickly, even though the home was listed "as is". When we were unable to close before 2016, the sellers threatened to walk away. Somehow George saved the transaction and he was able to talk them into giving us sizable credits to assist us with the downpayment.

If it was not for George, I am certain we would have settled and not lived in our dream house. By the end of the transaction I started calling him the Renaissance Man. George speaks Greek and Spanish. He can make anyone (including a difficult agent) relax and put their guard down. He even talked me "off the ledge" when I was getting nervous about certain documents or needed advice with this foreign experience.

I don't know how difficult this really was, as it was our first purchase. Everyone I talked to, that had bought a home previously said that we had the most difficult home buying experience they had ever heard of. I can't recommend George Kokkonas enough. If you need a deeper referral, contact George and he can connect you with me. He literally changed our lives and we will always be in his debt for all of his hard work and effort.

I spoke with George in 2014 regarding the potential of buying a condo in downtown Chicago. I was immediately impressed when he offered to meet me in the suburbs at a time that worked best for me. Upon arrival, George provided me with a packet of all sorts of information related to the purchase of a condo in Chicago. Because I was just looking into purchasing and not yet decided, he did not push me into purchasing, just provided all the necessary information. Although I ended up not purchasing at the time, when the time is right I will certainly call George!

Bought a home in 2015 in Chestnut, IL.
In 2015, George was recommended to me by friends as a real estate agent that I could count on to listen to what I want, not waste my time, and to make sure that I was seeing and getting the very best options for my specifications. This all proved to be true. My time spent working with George while I was looking at a condo in the Streeterville area was very positive and I ended up buying a unit that I could not be happier with.
George also helped my deal with the inspection, the closing, and closing the deal. Now you can say that's "his job", but George never made it fill to me to be just a "job" - I always felt that I had his undivided attention.
Lastly, based on my experience I have recommended him to a friend and co-worker, and they also closed the deal and could not be happier.
So 5 stars all around are deserved.

I strongly believe in George. He has a great network and works hard for his clients. Its difficult to find someone that you can trust. George put his interests aside and focused on representing my interests on both sides of the transaction.

After I purchased my house, George continued to help me get moved in and get settled. He helped me find a contractor. He even walked me through a cost-benefit analysis so that I made smart remodeling decisions.

George also represented me on the sell side. I was relocated for work and I needed to sell my house remotely. George took the time to get my life in order, stage the house AND get it sold for full ask in 24 hours.

George is an amazing guy. He will earn your business.

George Kokkonas is an excellent realtor

I had no idea what to expect when I began searching for a new Condo. I made use of the several search engines to get started and started asking people at work.

George has great knowledge of the River North area and was key in pursing and closing the transaction with a fairly unmotivated seller. A very seamless buying experience.

George Kokkonas was a dream Realtor

George Kokkonas was a dream Realtor. I was a first time home buyer and completely over whelmed. George was patient, knowledgeable and always kept a sense of humor.

George is very adaptable and within a few viewings, he knew my likes and dislikes. George is very caring and wants to make sure you find the perfect home and at the perfect price. He always told me that I would just know when I saw it…and I did. Every day I’m more and more in love with my new condo.

Buying is a very stressful period so you should spend it with someone you trust and can look out for your best interest.

I will definitely work with George again.

Thanks George we couldn't be happier

Our experience with George was excellent. Before we started looking at houses he went over every aspect of buying a home which as first time homebuyers was a huge comfort. He was very knowledgable of the properties and neighborhoods we looked at. When we went to see a house with George he made it an adventure. By adding humor and making sure we were having fun while still pointing out little things that we did not see that could cost us money to replace. Overall I have referred him to friends and family and will continue to. Thanks George we couldn’t be happier.

He was great to work with

George was so patient as we toured lots (and lots) of houses. He was amazing at setting up showings and made the best use of our time. He is exceptionally responsive and willing to go the extra mile. Since he has experience in the field as both a realtor and someone adept at renovations, he was able to point out critical things in each home that could be problems for us or pluses – we really wouldn’t have been aware of these things without him. He never once pressured us to buy or settle even as our search continued on for months and months. He gave his opinion openly and honestly and was not pushy.

Beyond his professional skills, he is a genuine guy and extremely nice. If I had to name a fault, it’s that sometimes he was almost too nice – especially to the selling agent. At times, I wanted him to be more aggressive in negotiations and push back on the selling agent more. Overall, though, he was great to work with and I would recommend him to those in search of their dream home.

George helped me find exactly what I wanted after my former roommate worked with him to help him buy his house.

His knowledge of the market/city was very strong and he was very realistic about property values and making offers.

George provides a great insight into a real estate purchase based on a buyer’s experience. When I was buying investment real-estate he understood my background rehabbing homes and knew my tolerance for a certain type of property. When I purchased my family home he was also a deft home hunter, understanding the needs of my family and translating that into a home where my wife could raise a family. Always attentive and a solid negotiator, feel confident that he has a client’s best interests at heart. Simply, hire George as your next real-estate agent.
