Karina and Candist are the best hands down!! If you are looking for a team to help buy, sell or rent a home look no further. They made the process so seamless and communicated everything so there were no surprises. These two ladies care, listen and place your wants at the top of their list. I would highly recommend this group to any family member that is looking for the above.

We have known Karina since she was a young lady. She has not changed. Her willingness to help and amazing character is what motivated us to call on her to help us find our home. Karina listened to our wants and gave us great advice in finding a good location. We thought our process was going to be a long one. However, we found our home within 2 weeks of reaching out to her and closed in 2 weeks more. This journey was amazing, and we are still in awe of the whole process. Thank you can not describe our feelings. We are so grateful to Karina and her team (Edgar & Kandist) keep up the great job!!!!

She’s a pros pro and I would highly recommend anyone in Chicagoland needing a realtor to her and her team at Compass. Thank you!!

Karina is an incredible realtor who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. She genuinely cares about their needs and works tirelessly to ensure they feel supported throughout the entire process. I’ve seen her thoughtfulness firsthand when she purchased client gift baskets —she wanted to give something unique and meaningful that reflects her care for her clients. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and kindhearted nature make her a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares and makes the experience memorable, Karina is the one to call!

My husband and I came to Karina with no knowledge on how we could make our goal a reality. Karina not only took her time to educate us but she took charge and helped us make our dream a reality. We could not have asked for a better experience than what we received with Karina. Quite literally the best realtor out there.

It’s been three wonderful years in my beautiful home, and I have Karina Hiselman to thank for making it happen. She helped me find a house that perfectly suited my needs for both work and school. Karina was incredibly understanding of my situation and truly dedicated to finding the best fit for me. I appreciated working with someone who genuinely cared about my goals and went above and beyond to achieve them.

From the countless listings she shared to accompanying me on showings at all hours, Karina’s dedication was unmatched. Her focus was always on finding the home of my dreams, and I can confidently say she found it. I’ll be graduating soon, but this house is something I’m in no rush to leave, it’s my forever home.

If you’re looking for a compassionate, hardworking, and knowledgeable realtor, I highly recommend Karina Hiselman! 🏠

Karina is an excellent realtor. She is one of the best. I had such a great experience working with her. She is well organized and always prepared. She has lots of patience and does not give up on looking for the house that her client is looking for. For example, I seen about 20 houses with her and they were all a no for me. Karina was always optimistic and had more info on other houses immediately. She included folders with all the information of each property we were seeing that I was able to keep and analyze at a later time. She walked me through every step and continues to help out even after the sale. She has a lot of knowledge on every subject of real estate. I would highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.

Karina is absolutely hands down my number one realtor choice!! She not only was able to sell my previous home for top dollar but also assisted me in the purchase of my second home ! She was extremely accommodating to my hectic schedule and went above and beyond with checking off my wish list for my dream home. Karina really took the time to understand my needs and wants for my home and NEVER made me feel pressured. She was reachable day and night for any questions I may have had, and was nothing but comforting throughout the process. She made me feel as if I was house shopping with one of my close friends. Finding a home and selling your home can be exciting and yet also stressful. Karina gave me reassurance and put me at ease so as her client, I was able to simply enjoy the excitement ! To sum it up, Karina Luis is the not just the best choice, she is the ONLY choice!!

Karina Luis was an absolute pleasure to work with, her understanding of the real estate market and attentiveness to our needs as home buyers and sellers was professional with great communication. She made sure that as a seller our home was ready to show with a great team including our lawyer and broker. The digital side of her presentation for the house was also great and in detail for potential buyers to view including home pictures and videos online with strong attention to marketing on social media. When purchasing our new home Karina, also made sure to do everything promptly to ensure a successful home-buying experience as we were selling and buying. Her organization with everything made our experience a breeze with no holdbacks a smooth transactions which helped with the closing of both the sale and purchase of our new home.
We highly recommend Karina Luis and will be working with her for future real estate transactions.

I have worked in the Real Estate industry for 10 years and know many real estate brokers. By my second meeting with Karina I knew that I wanted her to represent my husband and me through the process of buying our first home. Karina conveyed kindness, commitment, and empathy throughout our entire journey. She has a heartwarming smile and a genuine desire to understand the needs of others. Karina is an attentive listener and never once imposed her own agenda. Karina's professionalism was truly remarkable. A skilled negotiator, she was always striving to secure the best deal for us. In a world where pushiness often overshadows genuine care, my realtor Karina was a refreshing exception. We are truly grateful to have had her by our sides, turning a daunting process into a delightful journey. We not only found our perfect home but also secured a friendship that I am sure will last for quite some time.

Wanted to share that we are proud to be first time home buyers here! We purchased our home in August 2021, one of the craziest markets in the history of real estate. We had the pleasure of working with Andres Jimenez and Karina Luis Hisselman.

Andres Jimenez and Karina Hisselman made the impossible possible. Karina always had our support on what we liked aesthetically and what would be best for our family. Anytime we needed her, or felt anxious about the process, Karina was there for us.

We had a couple of realtors before Karina who we lost contact with because they were simply just not the right fit for us. Karina was amicable, friendly, family-oriented, and was timely with her responses.

We feel thankful, grateful, and blessed to have had her during our journey to finally finding a home. No longer renters! 🥰🥰🥰

Karina opened my eyes to a world I never imagined I would be living in. My fiancé and I went from a two bedroom apartment over looking the Chicago Executive Airport to a house on 5 acres with a barn!
As a first time home owner I didn’t realize how many steps there were to buying a house. And each step can be bumpy and bigger then the next. This process was SCARY! and nerve wracking, and exciting and crazy but guess who was there by our side. Karina! Not only was she confident that we would get to the top of the steps but she basically carried us the entire way. She was there for support, she was there to smooth the communication between us and the previous owners, she helped with paperwork, deadlines, and gave us tips and tricks for finding the money we needed to purchase our house. She was there at 10pm on a Sunday night to comfort me as we anxiously waited to hear if our offer was accepted. And was there for us as we handed over our savings at the closing. Karina literally took us to the top, she helped us make the best decision of our lives….besides me saying yes to his proposal of course and now we live in our dream home!
Thank you Karina for everything you have done for us. You changed our lives forever.

Karina sold my first apartment complex in Chicago on 5/3/2019. I was so please with her work ethics that I had to ask her to sell two more properties for me. The Second property sold on 5/17/2021 for over 20% more than the selling price thanks to her wise selling tactics. The Third property sold on 7/21/2021, and once again over the selling price. All three properties sold in record time!!!! While this can be a stressful process, I felt 100% confident by partnering with Karina for the sales, she was very candid, providing great feedback and she clearly explained all details and manage the actual sales brilliantly. Furthermore, Karina was immensely responsive to all my questions, no matter how many times I contacted her. She keeps her client’s best interest in sharp focus, and you can always trust that she is on top of every detail, big and small, which brings great peace of mind in any real estate transaction. My experience was great from start to finish. I will definitely contact her again in the future when I decide to buy or sell more properties!!!!

Thanks to Karina Luis

Karina recently helped me through the process of buying my first multi-unit, and I couldn't be more grateful. Karina was super helpful and caring from the start of the process all the way until the end. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She checks in and makes sure you are comfortable with every step of the process. In addition, she also provided me with a Buyer's Guide that she created for her clients which was very helpful to have to refer to during the buying process. Karina also helps with referring her clients to professionals such as home inspectors and is there with you so you feel comfortable moving forward with the buying process. Karina cares so much about her clients and makes you feel at ease while she negotiates the best deal for you and your family. I am super grateful and blessed to have had her as my realtor and highly recommend her.

Karina is the best agent in the industry. I spoke with several agents previously and never felt the connection I was looking for. Some were pushy and others I just felt didn’t care. However, when I first met with Karina, I knew the search was over. I highly recommend Karina to all my friends, family, and anybody else looking for a home. Her work ethic is on another level. She definitely looks out for your best interest and truly cares about finding her clients the perfect home for them. I was impressed with how quickly she recognized my taste in a home and quickly sent me tons of great listings. The first conversation I had with her, I mentioned a few properties that peaked my interest. Within an hour, she had appointments the next day every half hour for all four properties I had mentioned. On top of that, she worked around my work schedule and was able to get the listing agent to show the properties after I got out of work. She is very determined and quick to get stuff done. When I met with her in person she gave me a neat an organized binder that was a step by step home buyers guide. This was my first home purchase and that was such a time saver. Instead of doing a bunch of research and asking friends and family about the process, she had it all printed out in an easy to read format. Such an efficient way of helping people understand the process. Karina is extremely professional, polite, and all around pleasant to work with. She was very patient with me from start to finish and answered every question that I threw at her. She’s extremely knowledgeable and I was comfortable the entire time. Karina recommended a great lender and a great attorney as well. I couldn’t be happier with the home Karina helped me find. The bottom line is, if you don’t go with Karina, you’re nuts. Thanks Karina!

Before my parents chose to work with Karina, they had an agent that did minimal work and wanted exceptional credit. When they switched to Karina it felt like a breath of fresh air. Karina came in and sat down with my parents face to face and made sure they understood the entire process. She worked harder and more diligently than the previous agent my parent's had. Karina accommodated the language barrier for my parents to the best of her ability. She was very present the whole time and was always available if we needed questions answered. Karina negotiated for our best interest. My parents and I are very grateful for her help and we hope to keep doing business with her in the future.

Karina recently shepherded us through both processes of selling our former and buying our current home, and we couldn't be more grateful. I procrastinated writing this review for several weeks because I've been struggling with finding the right words to do her justice. In short, Karina cares far more about her clients' well being than her commission. Selling our home was seamless. She clearly explained options along with the pros/cons of each and was as present and responsive as a realtor could be. Many realtors don't show up for inspections and other events, but Karina wants to be there. Our home sold in just a couple weeks. Buying our current home was where she especially shined. Everything was progressing smoothly, but then we discovered a potential serious issue with the home during the final walk through, which was incredibly concerning and stressful. Karina was our fierce advocate, relentlessly working with the sellers to resolve the problem. She made several additional appointments (without us even asking) to ensure we were purchasing a quality home, and was prepared for the deal to fall through if we didn't have that peace of mind she cares so deeply about. The issue was ultimately resolved much thanks to her hard work and diligence. We are thoroughly enjoying and couldn't be more content with our new home.
