Hollie Himmelman

Local and Global Real Estate Consultant

What do Clients Say?

Hollie is a delight to work with. She took the necessary time to understand what I was looking for and helped me through all steps of the process, from searching, finding, negotiating, and closing on my first home. I never felt rushed and she always went the extra mile to gather all the data needed so I could make informed decisions. Her knowledge of Chicago and her professionalism are top notch, I felt working with a trusted partner from beginning to end.

Hollie is truly the best! Hollie's knowledge and expertise helped me find the perfect home in the city. Hollie guided me through each step and provided great recommendations for local Inspectors, attorneys, lenders, etc. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the area.

Hollie Himmelman is savvy, seasoned, thorough and thoughtful, gives excellent advice at every turn, and is very nurturing as well - she helped me through my first home purchase, and it went exceptionally smoothly thanks to her! She's truly passionate about helping her clients find the right home (or the right buyer), and is top-notch in every way. She really held my hand, guiding me through my initial search to assessing options to making an offer, has great recommendations for the entire team (mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, inspectors, etc), and continually checked in to make sure I understood each step and was comfortable with each series of choices and actions I needed to take. Even after closing, she continued to check in to see how the updates and move was going, and how I was doing in my new home. Hollie is an amazingly dedicated, knowledgeable, and wonderful broker, and is highly recommended!

Hollie was great to work with and remained very patient with us throughout the process. She was never pushing us towards a decision and was happy to move forward at our pace. We would work with her again any time and can recommend her to anyone in need of an agent who can relate to the many challenges a home purchase presents.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me through this process. Hollie was there for me every step of the way. Whether it was a weekend or the middle of the night she always was there to answer any question or calm me down during stressful times. She is truly phenomenal at her job, and I was so lucky I got to work with her.
