Romi was the key to our family successfully purchasing our first home. Romi was patient, knowledgeable, and very professional. As first time buyers we had a lot of questions and he answered with patience and timely responses every step of the way. He went above and beyond with the buying process and has a great team around him that helped us get the best deal possible. Romi made the process as simple as possible for us and gave us the tools and knowledge to confidently purchase our home. His knowledge of the market and all aspects related to real estate were above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be recommending Romi to anyone looking for a real estate professional and plan to use him for all my real estate needs in the future.

Romi did an outstanding job selling our 4 unit building. He is professional, great at communicating with all parties involved, and did not ever make me feel pressured or rushed in any of my decisions. He was respectful with my time and other tenants time thru all the showings and inspections. I would highly recommend him to all my family and friends.

Initially, the thought of buying and selling a home was so intimidating, but working with Romi really took the guesswork out the process. He was so knowledgeable and quick about getting our house photographed with professional photos that we were able to get our house on the market and receive several offers above asking price within a week. Romi also was flexible and worked with our schedule showing us different homes and also flagging different issues on homes that initially slipped our notice. Could not recommend a more reliable, knowledgeable and kind realtor!

All I can say is wow, Romi is truly amazing!! He was more than a real-estate agent, he is a friend. He had my best interests at heart. He does an amazing job researching the area and showing you the possibilities. He was referred to me thru a friend and did a phenomenal job with him so I gave it a go and I was pleasantly surprised especially since the market took a turn (buyers market). We sold in 5 days, that was INCREDIBLE!! Romi is so organized and accommodating, he understood my needs and exceeded my expectations!!

My brother will be selling his house in a year and has already asked me for his phone number. I'd recommend Romi to anyone I know who's selling a house. Thank you Romi, for being on my side and understanding my needs as well as my families need. I thank you again and again!! Too bad your in Illinois and I'm now in Florida..

Ever grateful,

Carol

Romi is the best! He has been my agent for many deals these last 5 years and has helped me purchase a really wild multi-unit deal that took months to complete as well as a home for myself. He is very knowledgeable and has a great gut sense for what the seller is thinking and how best to respond to them to both keep them happy and get you the best deal you can get. He has the steadiness and calm demeanor you really need in the midst of what is often a very difficult and stressful process and I so highly recommend him to anyone looking to find the best agent in Chicago.

We had a great experience working with Romi! Romi was passionate about helping us find the perfect home for the perfect price. As first-time home buyers, Romi took the time to explain everything to us and answer any questions we had. He was very responsive and helpful, even when he was out of town. He was quick to schedule a showing and meet us at the house to view it, all through a pandemic. He was very patient with us as we narrowed down exactly what we were looking for in our first home, and we found it! Very seamless process, and Romi had a connection and referral to everyone you need to buy a home (lawyer, inspector, etc)! We would definitely recommend working with Romi in your home buying process!

After the pandemic and lockdowns, as well as some monumental health developments dramatically impacted our lives, we knew we needed to find a new home outside the city, but it couldn’t just be any home. It had to be right for our four kids, in a neighborly neighborhood, close to good churches and other amenities but with enough space to stretch our legs. On top of all this, we needed to sell our home in Chicago. It was a tall order, so we turned to Romi Olariu for help.

Romi treated our family like it was his own. He listed our home magnificently, bringing in his own photographer who made our place look wonderful. He described it well in the listing, and then diligently dealt with prospective buyers and their agents. He got us several offers; we ended up selling for above asking price. In the process he demonstrated a thorough knowledge of market trends and movements.

As for getting us into our new home, Romi listened to us well, ensuring he knew what we were looking for, and brought us to many houses on our search. He even said that if we were to choose a location out of his area of geographic expertise, that he would recommend us to someone else who could make sure our needs were met. In the end, though, that wasn’t necessary. We found our dream home in just the right neighborhood. We had some issues during closing, that Romi helped us navigate well—the man knows how to push ahead to get things done.

Romi demonstrated the highest level of ethical business practices, a robust knowledge of real estate, and a genuine care for our family. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Romi was an amazing agent! He truly made us feel as though we were his only clients, which says a lot, because I know that he had many more that he was working with. He was very responsive to our requests and yet he made sure that he spoke up when he thought it necessary. He made some really great advice throughout the whole process and ultimately he sold our home quickly with a bidding war and we received quite a bit over asking price!

He is extremely knowledgeable about the market and how to make a strong offer that will get you the house you want! I could not recommend Romi more highly!!

A friend recommended I talk with Romi when I was ready to sell my first home and I couldn't have been happier that I did. Having never sold a home before, Romi fully explained the whole process, all the steps involved, and everything we could do to maximize its list price. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions along the way and was extremely quick to respond whenever I contacted him. He and his team of professional photographer and videographer made the home look great and we received a full asking price offer in just 3 days on the market. He kept me updated throughout the process all the way up until closing. I will absolutely work with Romi again when I need to purchase or sell property and would recommend him to anyone else needing to do the same.

Romi is a very professional and well-known realtor around the Northern Chicagoland area. He's been a buyer's agent for me twice within a 10 year period and his service and professionalism have only improved within that time-frame. He kept us up-to-date with the latest offerings that fit our needs and budget, and within a 3 week period, we found our perfect home for a deal that was to our liking.

“I had my house for sale in the summer with a real estate agent that was NOT Romi. After 3 months of not being able to sell my home, I took my house off of the market. A friend of mine recommended Romi and I listed my house with him in the WINTER. Romi sold the house in just under 3 weeks and brought 3 offers to the table the very first week. Needless to say, he did in two weeks what the other agent couldn’t do in 3 months. He also has many connections with lawyers to assist if needed. I took his recommendation on a lawyer as well and was amazed at the work they all did for me all while I lived out of state. Highly recommend him in every way possible. Oh, by the way, he also has an amazing photography team that will make your house look spectacular.
