  Arlyn is great! He leverages modern technology to help buy and sell, but he maintains the "old school" communication...he picks up the phone and calls you!
  We've used Arlyn to successfully buy and sell 4 properties in the last few years. We keep coming back!! With all of the sales, I never felt alone. I always knew Arlyn was ready to listen.
  I highly recommend Arlyn Tratt for any home buying/selling needs, whether it's the first time or the 10th time.

  Arlyn has been my partner in buying and selling over 5 properties in Chicago area. He is an honest and straight shooter broker always keeping your interest in mind. Additionally, he is a great negotiator that really helps in closing the deal. I highly recommend Arlyn with the next Real Estate transaction.

  Arlyn is an excellent Real Estate Broker. He is friendly, polite, easy going and generous. But none of that matters, because as my real estate broker - he is sharp, intelligent, understands the market, has my best interest over the facts and the property. He has all the characteristics that will help you get the right property and will be able to guide you through the entire process with important cues that help you make the best decisions throughout. The market moves, and there is an ebb and flow, with demand, prices, etc - something he is on top off, and can lead you to spend only the right amount of money for the right kind of property in the right location. I would recommend Arlyn to anyone.

  Eugenia E. recommends Arlyn Tratt
  We were very fortunate to retain the services of Arlyn Tratt to sell not one but two condos in record time, one in Evanston and one in Albany Park, as well as facilitating and negotiating the purchase of our new condo. He is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable realtor who truly cares about his clients and also understands Chicagoland realty. He conducted a thorough market assessment to help us best price our properties and that with a combination of staging, photography, timing and Arlyn's approachable, professional and authentic personality, the perfect buyers came along and the properties were sold in two days! He also was extremely helpful with a host of referrals related to our move such as inspection, handyman, organizer and legal team. With Arlyn, you don't just get a great realtor and genuine person, you get a team of wonderful people and support. A normally stressful process, Arlyn made the experience of purchasing, selling and moving into a much more pleasant and less stressful time. Thank you Arlyn!

  Arlyn was honest and looked out for our best interest throughout the entire home selling process. From the photos, virtual tour, open houses and showings, he was hands-on through the whole process. He is trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable. We are currently working with him on the purchase of our new property and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor to get the job done!

  Arlyn is an AMAZING realtor. He puts together sleek and effective marketing materials using professional photography and video equipment. He made our home look so fabulous! He provides white glove service to his clients - literally cleaning, shoveling or doing whatever needs to be done for a showing. Arlyn has sold two homes for us and is remarkably patient when helping us to buy as well. We cannot recommend him enough!!

  Arlyn was great. Always accessible and knowledgeable about every step of the home selling process. More importantly if he did not know the answer, he found it quickly and got back to me in s timely manner. Quite frankly Arlyn is a extreme professional at what he does. He truly puts his heart into the relationship he creates with you and is very comfortable to work with.

  Layne Postilion recommends Arlyn Tratt
  Arlyn is amazing in every way! From start to finish, the listing and selling of our house was far easier than I ever thought it would be- and that's all because of Arlyn. In terms of Real Estate, he knows it all! List Price, Photos, Open Houses, Inspections- he knew exactly what to do and never let us feel alone. We sold quickly and for a great price! My favorite part about working with Arlyn though- is his calm demeanor. Life changes like selling a house can be stressful and I know I was a bit of a worry wart, but every time I spoke to him- I felt relaxed and ready for the next step. I recommend him to everyone!

  Kelly Tousi recommends Arlyn Tratt
  Arlyn has helped us buy and sell multiple homes. This last time we were both buying and selling. There are several reasons I would highly recommend Arlyn to either a buyer or seller: 1. He is incredibly responsive and organized. 2. His calm demeanor and solution orientation is invaluable during the inevitable times when something does not go quite right. 3. He reads people very well - which is key in negotiating. Arlyn give us very valuable advice as both sellers and buyers on offers and negotiation. He listened to us as well but we have learned to listen to him - he has saved us tens of thousands of dollars. 4. He is a genuinely nice person. I know that Arlyn sincerely wants the best for us and is not out for a quick win. 5. He gets results. We sold our home in 6 days for more than our bottom line price and he helped us quickly find a new place for a great deal.
  If I ever buy or sell in Chicago or the suburbs, Arlyn is who I will go with.

  Kenneth Streu recommends Arlyn Tratt
  Not enough can be said about Arlyn! My wife and I were being moved to the Chicago area from Las Vegas. Aryln was recommended to us by our previous Realtor and our experience speaks volumes to the greater network of Realtors he associates with. My family needed to find the right home that fit our needs, and fast. Arlyn met that timeline while ensuring we were being taken care of. He made us feel welcome in an area where we knew no one. At every point during the buying process he displayed professionalism and made sure he knew our priorities. In the end, we found the right home and we have Arlyn to thank. Even well over a year after purchasing our home we still communicate. I cannot recommend Arlyn enough, he is simply the best at what he does!

  Arlyn was the ultimate professional during our process of selling our condo. Our situation was very unique and he made sure to help us throughout. He was responsive to our questions not to mention he checked in frequently. He made you feel like you were his only client which was appreciated as you never felt like you were another number. I would definitely recommend him again and again.

  Arlyn helped my fiancé and I find a new condo to lease. He was with us through every step of the process and took complete care of us from the beginning to end. This is the second time I've used Arlyn and it won't be the last. He is the total package in real estate.

  I have had multiple real estate transactions and Arlyn is the best real estate agent I have ever come across. He is so well networked in the Chicago North suburbs and able to meet his clients needs no matter how unique or challenging and does not give up in trying to find a solution. He is also the most caring, understanding and non-judgmental professional who will go out of his way to take care of his client's needs. On top of that he finds the easiest most efficient way to handle the real estate planning, showing and closing where everything with regarding to home sale went as smoothly as could be. His excellent proactive planning and communication really made us feel that we were partnering closely with him on all decisions we made. I would use his services for all my real estate transactions and highly recommend him to anyone.

  Keith S Strehler recommends Arlyn Tratt
  Arlyn was very friendly and professional as well as knowledgeable about the homes he showed me. We viewed around ten homes. My opinion of them ranged most of the spectrum from bad to good and Arlyn was very honest with me about them. If a home didn't seem to suit me after we viewed it he did not try to sell me further on the home but let me know we should look elsewhere. Once I found my home he was very helpful with the buying process and got me what I feel to be a good deal. I would recommend him highly.

  Where do I start to tell you about ARLYN. I have known Arlyn for many years and can highly vouch for his attributes of being goal oriented, highest integrity and a great listener to exactly what you want in a home to purchase. I had only gone to two homes with him and I knew I did not have to go any further. Arlyn chose the right houses for me to look at. He was tenacious in working with the lister to get me a great deal. Arlyn turned his attention to help sell my present home. In a little over two weeks my home is in the process of closing. Need I say more ....

  Susan Raholin recommends Arlyn Tratt
  Arlyn was the consummate professional when it came to listing, and successfully selling our home in Chicago.
  From day one through the entire selling process, he was attentive and full of helpful ideas. His comprehensive plan included perfect pricing, a flattering virtual reality tour, and a professionalism that was top notch. Because of Arlyn, our house literally sold in a weekend for full asking price.
  What truly set him apart was that the relationship didn't stop with an executed contract. He followed up with the buyers agent so that they could be as successful as possible. Every portion of the transaction was expertly handled and we could not be more thankful.
  I recommend him so highly to anyone who needs a realtor! Brokers are not all created equal and Arlyn is of the highest competence and his complete understanding of the process from start to finish made him invaluable.

  This is the second time we have used Arlyn Tratt to find a home. We closed on the home of our dreams two weeks ago. Arlyn's commitment to us and his diligence in getting us the best deal is beyond description. He treated every step of the process as if he were buying the home for his own family. We could not have asked for a better partner to find and 'seal the deal' on our home. If you are in the real estate market, either buying or selling – Arlyn is not only your wisest choice, he is your best choice!

  Ann and Rob Naubert recommends Arlyn Tratt
  We would like to highly recommend the services of Arlyn Tratt if you are searching for a new home. We worked with him upon the recommendation of our daughter and were extremely pleased. He was willing to give us as much time as we wanted in our search for a home in an Active 55+ community. He showed us a number of houses established Active 55+ communities around Chicago and this was critical in helping us decide what area we wanted to live in. As we are moving from Michigan we did not know the suburbs of Chicago. The different areas he showed us were different enough to help us decide what we wanted. We ended up choosing to build in Naperville and he was with us all the way in that decision, helping us in our selections, walk thru, and closing. He is very personable, knowledgeable and so easy to work with. Our thanks to Arlyn for making a difficult decision much easier and for his support through the entire process!

  Arlyn is knowledgeable, reliable and credible. He sold our place in under a week and then stayed with us for months while we searched for the right home. At some times I think he knew what we liked before we did. He listens and learns what his clients want, is fun to ride around with (for hours) in the car and very focused on doing whatever is best and right for his clients. *HIGHLY RECOMMEND*
