Jeff and Laura were amazing in helping us buy our first home. As first time home owners we had tons of questions and concerns about every step of the process. Jeff and Laura were there to answer every question and make us feel at ease throughout. They compliment each other well and have a broad knowledge of the home buying process. Would use them again and recommend them to friends and family in the area!!

My family recently bought our first home in Urbana, and we couldn’t have done it without Laura and Jeff Finke. From start to finish, they were the perfect team for us. Being first-time homebuyers, we had tons of questions, and they guided us every step of the way.

Laura and Jeff were incredibly proactive in showing us properties. They made sure we saw a variety of options that met our criteria, helping us make a truly informed decision. As we got close to our negotiation deadlines, they stayed on top of everything, which eased so much of the stress that comes with the home-buying process.

Even after closing, they've continued to be a resource, offering advice and support as we settle in. It’s clear they genuinely care about their clients and their satisfaction with their new home. For anyone looking to buy a home in the Urbana area, I can’t recommend Laura and Jeff Finke highly enough. They’re knowledgeable, responsive, and above all, supportive – exactly what you want in real estate agents.

Jeff and Laura were excellent from the very beginning. They explained their marketing approach and pricing strategy. They had a very fair and competitive fee that was well worth it. They sold our home fast and at a good price. The process was painless. They had recommendations for contractors where needed. I’d highly recommend working with them if you are selling your home. Thank you.

We very much appreciated the friendliness of both Laura and Jeff in their dealings with us. Their provision of homes before they reached the active market was crucial to us finding the home for us. Laura's availability to view homes on our schedule was a blessing as well. Jeff was a great prodder of the seller's agent to get our questions answered. All in all, it was a great experience for us.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Laura and Jeff during the process of purchasing my first home, and I am compelled to share my outstanding experience. Laura and Jeff demonstrated a great level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Their deep knowledge of the local real estate market was evident as they guided me through every step of the home-buying journey. Laura patiently listened to my preferences, concerns, and requirements, ensuring that the properties he presented aligned perfectly with my vision for a dream home, and took me on many house tours both in person and virtually. Their excellent communication skills kept me well-informed at every stage, and Jeff was always prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had. In addition to their professional attributes, Laura is a genuinely personable and approachable individual. Her friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable, and I felt confident throughout the process that I was in capable hands.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Laura and Jeff to anyone in search of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.

Buying a house virtually sounded like a rollercoaster waiting to happen, but Laura and Jeff made it feel like a walk in the park.
From day one, they were on the ground in Champaign for us, doing a ton of virtual calls to show us properties. It was almost like having a close friend or family member there to help us navigate the scene. Their advice was always spot-on—never pushy, just genuinely helpful. They kept us in the loop at all times, and it was clear that they were really listening to our needs and concerns. They made us feel like we were their top priority. From pointing out the pros and cons of different neighbourhoods to helping us envision how we could make a space our own, they thought of everything.
Every step of the way, they went above and beyond. From virtual tours to negotiating with sellers, they had our backs. It felt like they really got us and what we were looking for in a home, you know?
Their support didn't stop at closing. They've been there for us even after the deal was sealed, guiding us through the next steps like recommending local contractors, and just making sure we're settling in alright.
So, if you're in the market for a home in Champaign, Jeff and Laura are the people you want on your team. They made the whole process a breeze, and we can't thank them enough. Five stars aren't enough for these two!

We did not have a realtor but wanted to view a property on Zillow. I was lucky enough to be matched with Laura and Jeff Finke. They helped us through the entire process of purchasing that home and then listed and sold our current house in 2 days. They are both very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them both.

I used Jeff and Laura to buy a new house and sell my old. They are incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. They were patient with all of my questions, timely with responses and kept me updated along the way. They also were warm and kind people to work with. I appreciated their help so much through what can be a stressful process of both buying and selling at the same time! I would highly recommend them for your finding or selling your next home.

Jeff and Laura helped me find and buy a great unit. My situation was unique and they worked with me to figure out the best options and timing. They walked me through the offer and closing process with good advice, lots of alternatives, and patience. The whole process was easier and much less stressful than I'd hoped, and their knowledge of the area and of the processes involved was top-notch. I've recommended them to others in my department already.

Jeff & Laura walked us through every step of the home buying and home selling processes and made the experience truly life changing for us. We weren't sure we wanted to move from the first and only house we had owned and within weeks, Laura & Jeff helped us find a home of our dreams. They walked us through every step answering all of our questions and helped us make a competitive offer that helped us get the house we wanted! They then helped us shift gears to get our existing house on the market and helped with everything from pricing, to staging, and making our house marketable. Our house sold within weeks and they helped walk us through all of the unfamiliar aspects such as the home inspection and the closing process in order to ensure everything went smoothly. We are now settled in a house we love and we are so grateful to Team Finke for helping us get here!!

My husband and I have worked with Jeff and Laura for years. We’ve bought and sold three homes with them. They handled everything, and made the process seamless and stress free every time! They cared for our family as their own, even playing with our kids as we toured homes. We knew we were in the best of hands. I truly cannot recommend Jeff and Laura enough!

Jeff and Laura were great, awesome, wonderful! They helped us so much, were available at any hour of the day, advised us beautifully and, as first-time homebuyers made clear that no question was a bad question! I went from knowing nothing about buying a home to sealing a deal and being a homeowner in one month!

Jeff and Laura helped us find our home from out of state. They were available any time of day and took the time to answer all of my questions. They showed us numerous houses over several months and were so patient. They are professional and take pride in seeing you in the home that is right for you when you are ready. I would use them again in the future without a doubt.

If you are looking for an honest, trustworthy, patient, and super experienced real estate agent, TeamFinke is your guy! I was a first-time home buyer, and Jeff and Laura made my purchase experience so smooth and absolutely worry-free! They answered all my questions promptly and patiently. They put my interest first and are very detail-oriented. I'll make sure to have them be my agent again when I sell the house one day!

Laura and Jeff are the best realtors in town! They were so patient with my husband and I; we started our house search in April 2021 and didn’t close on our home until January 2022. They were so informative every step of the way and not pushy at all. Laura is a great resource about the city of Champaign and so knowledgeable of all the surrounding neighborhoods. Jeff’s background in mortgage lending was such a great help when it came to crunching numbers and writing the offer letter. If your looking for a house in Champaign go to Laura and Jeff!

It was a joy to work with Jeff and Laura Finke. Their thoroughness, attention to details and ability to really listen to our needs and wants made looking for and buying our home a smooth process.

They stayed consistent with this mindset and set us up to feel and be supported with our final decision. They really worked hard for us!

We have purchased two homes with the assistance of Jeff and Laura Finke, and have consistently recommended their services to friends and colleagues in the area. Jeff and Laura are caring and genuine, ultra-quick to respond to emails and texts, and knowledgeable about the local and national real estate market. I felt they were always honest and transparent with us and we never felt any pressure to make a decision. We often asked for their opinion as part of our decision-making process and felt they were always upfront. We don't plan on buying another home anytime soon, and are thankful Jeff and Laura helped get us into a place that we love so much.

After our initial meeting to discuss the type of house we were looking for, Jeff and Laura provided notices whenever a house fitting our requirements came on or was about to come on the market. Laura was always available to answer questions and show us our choices and Jeff helped us through the financial issues for closing. Because we were out-of-town clients, their help was critical for us getting the house we wanted.

My husband and I recently bought a house in the Champaign area. We were unsure of the process and the market. We worked with a few realtors on our own before meeting Laura and Jeff. Laura and Jeff are awesome to work with and made an effort to find what we were looking for. My husband and I were not easy as we were back and forth about if we should even buy a house or build but Laura and Jeff showed a ton of patience with us and helped us through the process. I would definitely recommend them in the future and if we are ever in the market again, we know we have great realitor support with the them. 5 stars!

We LOVED working with Laura and Jeff of Team Finke in the sale of our home. We saw how quickly they sold the house across the street from us, so it was a no brainer for us to choose them. They explained the entire process in ways easy for us to understand. We had already purchased our new home and were more than excited when ours sold in less than a week. I would most definitely tell friends and family to give them a call.
