More than that, it was one of the best service experiences we have had in any capacity. Arlyn helped us sell our house for a great price while we were out of the country and 100% absent. It would simply not have been possible to do this transaction with someone less involved than him. He drove the process every step of the way. We are exceedingly grateful to him and give him our highest possible recommendation.

Arlyn was recommended as a great real estate broker and short sale expert. He listed our home on a short sale and we received 27 offers!! He was extremely compassionate to my situation and very professional. I highly recommend him for all your real estate transactions.

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 ....

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.

She’s quick to respond to emails and inquiries, and was very detailed and thorough. So happy to have a home!!

He answered any question I had, brought new information to my attention as soon as possible, and helped make me feel like I had all of the information at my disposal to make a decision without ever feeling pressured one way or another.

He was there from the beginning to the closing of the sale of our family's home and guided us with each step of the way. Can't say enough about how much he has done to help us with the house. His attention to details, his positive personality, patience, determination and resilience, along with his network of professionals that he connects with made the entire process smooth and seamless instead of stressful. AMAZING real estate agent! Would highly recommend him for selling or buying. Thank you Arlyn!

My fiance and I very much appreciate his professionalism, knowledge, and sound advice while shopping for our first home. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and it was very obvious that he had our best interest at heart. Thank you Arlyn!

Took care of us from beginning till it was sold!

Our initial goals were the same as anyone's; get the highest selling price and sell the home as fast as possible. Then we found out there's a lot more to it. This home was part of an association and we did not realize we had various responsibilities for before, during and after the sale. Arlyn was able to explain everything clearly and he saved us a ton of time, effort and money! To say that Arlyn went above and beyond is an understatement. While a lot of people may claim to go "above and beyond" Arlyn actually delivered! For example, prospective buyers raised issues about some problems they discovered with the windows in the unit. We were not happy about an unexpected expense to get the place ready to sell but we were prepared to pay for these necessary repairs. Arlyn did some research and tracked down the company that installed the windows. It turned out that the repairs were covered by an existing warranty and instead of us paying thousands of dollars in repairs, the window company repaired everything for free. Being trustworthy, conscientious and a timely communicator, Arlyn Tratt is a gem! I highly recommend his services to buy or sell your property.

Arlyn is very knowledgeable and patient, He continues to provide and excellent service, the process is smooth and he makes sure you understand every step explaining and answering all of your questions. I would recommend Arlyn to my family and friends. Thank you Arlyn!! 😊

I had a couple of special circumstances regarding titling, and he had the references to help get it done.

He was friendly and professional and we decided to work with him upon our first meeting. Through out our entire experience he went out of his way to make things go smoothly. He also connected us with other vendors to help in various areas from legal to clean out. All of whom were also great to work with. From start to finish it has been a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend him!

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.

Excellent communication skills with over the top efficiency in his work. He’s exactly what a real estate agent should be!!!

He is calm and very dedicated. He gets the job done calmly and professionally. I highly recommend him to you all if needed n

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.

He made the process painless and was there to support us along the way. We have used him successfully to list rentals and to sell a condo.

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.

She was a pleasure to work with. She kept us Posted on new rental properties on the market on a daily basis. She was able to schedule property walk throughs for us promptly. She was always on time for all of our appointments. The best part of working with Sophie was that we never felt pressured to make a decision right away. When we found a rental property through a friend's friend she was very gracious about it. I would most definitely recommend Sophie's services.

He is helpful to his customers and great to work with!

We were delighted to receive and enjoy Arlyn's service; he took us to an excellent selection of potential homes that met our special needs.

He was always available and present through all stages of the process from the initial viewing of the home, to the inspection right through the closing and everything in between. He was very helpful in negotiating price and other issues, offering solid, practical advice. We highly recommend Arlyn as a professional, ethical, and easy to work with real estate broker.

It was an emotional experience for my sisters and myself, but Arlyn's calm and supportive nature was very helpful. He was by our side every step of the way and his knowledge of the marketplace was stellar. My family would highly recommend Arlyn!

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.

His knowledge of the latest localized buying trends helped set the right price for the house. He was very proactive in getting the property out there and feeling out interest, and as a result, it sold before even hitting the market officially. He was supportive and helpful with all kinds of resources for help getting everything cleared out, making minor repairs, and securing snow shoveling when I was going to be on the other side of the country. Arlyn was very easy to work with and made a difficult situation (clearing out and selling a loved one’s home) much more bearable and feel like a success. I would work with Arlyn again in a heartbeat.

Fast and smooth sale. Am now in the process of buying a new place and using Arlyn again.

Both times, we have received excellent services from Arlyn. He is a great communicator, reliable, detail oriented, and extremely fast at getting back to you with an answer or solution. I recommend Arlyn to anyone out there who is looking to buy a home. We know how stressful that can be...and Arlyn is the perfect choice to help/advise you through the process.

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.

He knows the market and is upfront.

He was always available and happy to be onsite to assist with any unforeseen issues. His network and knowledge in the real estate market in the Chicago area is unmatched. Arlyn is also current with the latest technologies and social networks. I would highly recommend Arlyn to any potential buyer and seller. He is the consummate professional. The entire experience from listing the property to closing was excellent. Thank you Arlyn!

He was an attentive, friendly, and willing. He provided us outstanding service, made sure that we understood everything, and answered all of the questions we asked. Every single time I called, he’d always pick up and he never hesitated in giving us the help we needed. I really recommend his service!

Arlyn sold my home in record time and I received top dollar for my house. Arlyn also help me find and purchase my new home and was able to negotiate the best price! Arlyn is a great listener and takes you to look at the kind of homes that stated you wanted. I give Arlyn 5 stars out of 5.

He was extremely professional throughout the process, answering questions even before I could think of them. He was always available, no matter when I reached out, he answered me quickly and ensured that all of my questions were answered. His knowledge of the market and everything that goes into buying a house is stellar. He also has an extensive network of additional resources that help cover everything I needed to make my move as seamless as possible. I highly recommend Arlyn Tratt!

He was precisely able to help us, guide us and set listing price for our home. He definitely knows how to put the best foot forward and take nice pictures and highlight the strengths of the property. During the low market(December/January), when we thought to pull off the property from market he advised us to stay put, guess what the property was sold in January!. We really appreciate his help, and would love to do business with him again, and recommend to our friends.

Thank you Arlyn! Every Sunday, we were out visiting the open houses. We met Arlyn Tratt at an open house. After a nice and professional conversation, I was very impressed with his real estate experience, honesty, and guidance. Right at that time, I decided to have his services as my realtor to look for the property for us. My instinct forced me to work with him. Arlyn kept us updated on daily basis emailing us the listings, and we were also emailing him and texting him about properties that we used to see online. Whenever we wanted to see a property, I would text Arly to see the property. Arlyn response was always quick to set up time to visit the property. We saw several properties and Arlyn was very helpful and supportive. He had always expressed his professional advise about the properties' conditions and fair value. Our relationship with Arlyn became very personal and family related. With his endeavors and help, we were, at last, able to purchase a property. From the time of initial offering to closing the property, Arlyn was available guiding us every step. I felt he was breeze for us until the closing. In addition to the professional relationship, we have developed personal relationship with him. For buyers and sellers, I strongly recommend to have Arlyn's services. Aslam Finall

Very professional. Gave honest insight and was very quick on communicating. I would recommend him to anyone.

He was super responsive and attentive. He worked well with the sellers agent as well as attorneys. While looking at properties Arlyn gave suggestions for ways to update or improve the property. Arlyn also has great connections for everyone from inspectors to handymen! I highly recommend Arlyn!

In every case he really takes over performs above and beyond. He doesn't just show houses. He will obtain needed information from the condo board, meet contractors at the property, etc. I trust him with the details and with the big issues such as how to handle the negotiations. I have referred several clients to him and he always makes me look good.

Arlyn is so far above any I have encountered. I would use him again without a second thought. He went so far above and beyond what we expected. Assisting with any pre-sale arrangements. Getting the house ready, connecting us with resources, and considering all possibilities. He was always easy to work with and responsive to any questions. Even calling back when out of town. Wish all business people were as professional. I give him my highest recommendation without reservation. Thanks again Arlyn!

His customer service is outstanding! He kept us updated almost daily and provided timely advice throughout our experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home or rent a condo.

With Arlyn’s help we accomplished all three in 8 months. He was amazing to work with for so many reasons, but the top three being his knowledge, his responsiveness, and his patience. Arlyn’s knowledge of the housing industry and all the related topics (mortgages, taxes, construction, etc.) was so helpful when dealing with some of the questions and challenges that came up. I had so many questions and concerns throughout, plus I was overwhelmed and stressed with the decisions and changes that our family was experiencing. Arlyn’s calm and patient demeanor helped me tremendously. He checked in regularly and was so responsive by phone, text, and email. I often joked that I believed we were his only client! That’s how it felt working with Arlyn, that he was completely focused on our family at all times. I would highly recommend Arlyn to any of my closest friends and family!

I would highly recommend Arlyn as a realtor for many reasons. He was very attentive to our needs as the sellers. He always listened carefully and worked with us on every aspect of the selling process. He had a positive and genuinely friendly attitude throughout the process. He was very quick and responsive to every text, e-mail or a phone call from us. He personally showed up to every single showing. Arlyn had a certain charisma and a super nice personality with a great sense of humor that definitely helped selling our house. I feel grateful and happy that we chose Arlyn as our realtor. We sold our house successfully and we are super satisfied with the selling price. I highly recommend Arlyn as a realtor and I will definitely ask him to represent myself in the future if I buy or sell real estate.

As first time buyers me and my Significant other had plenty of questions and Arlyn was able to answer them quickly which made us far more comfortable.

He is very personable and wants to do the best job he can for you. I would highly recommend Arlyn for any and all realtor needs.

With twins on the way we wanted to find a home that had everything we needed and that fit our budget. After a long and frustrating year we were able to close on our beautiful home on August 15, 2017. Arlyn was very patient throughout the entire process. He is very personable, responsive, easy to work with and very knowledgeable in the real estate industry and current market trends. We highly recommend using Arlyn as your real estate agent.

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! ~Brian and Claire Smith, Schaumburg, IL

A few years ago when my mother passed, Arlyn helped us sell her townhome. By going above and beyond, he found out some repairs we had to do to our windows were actually covered by the manufacturer. The townhouse association WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS and Arlyn saved us thousands of dollars. So when it was time to sell our condo in Lincoln Park, we knew who to call. Once again Arlyn was on top of his game! We almost ran into some problems with the buyer. Arlyn remembered a special need they mentioned when they saw the property and PROACTIVELY took care of it. So when the buyer's attorney reached out at the last minute to raise a concern about where the new owners would store their bicycles, Arlyn said, "We knew it was going to be a potential issue so we already worked it out with the building...they have a special storage closet for you that's perfect for your needs." And they loved it! So instead of a problem, Arlyn turned it into an opportunity to impress the buyer. We completely recommend Arlyn and NextHome Elite without reservation. Can't wait to work with Arlyn again in the future!!

He has sold two properties and bought one for us in one month! It’s the best experience I’ve had with the realtor. He really has a talent for this!

He was very insightful and honest about each house, sharing his concerns and positives, to help us make a good decision. Thanks to his help we found a wonderful new home that is just right for us.

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!

He is certainly a detail person and over sees ALL aspects of the sale of a house. Knows his real estate market and surrounding business areas. Arlyn was able to keep prospective buyers coming to view our house. 5 stars all the way!!!

!! He was patient, flexible, willing and ready to show me any place that I was interested in seeing. At each location, he was insightful about every inch on the home. It was almost like Arlyn was buying the place for himself. Based on the interior and exterior, he let me know reasons to buy or not to buy each home. Home shopping with Arlyn, was like taking your good friend who was well knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. He also gave great recommendations when it came to finding an attorney & home inspector. I strongly recommend working with Arlyn!!!

Arlyn came highly recommended as a realtor and a short sale expert . We met and it was completely clear that he was the right person to help us. Arlyn's understanding of the market, his experience and expertise in our area, his thorough assessments of our property and of our options were beyond helpful. Along with his acumen of how to work with our old house, Arlyn's warm, patient, and respectful demeaner made the process for us personally much easier to negotiate than expected. He kept us up to date on the tasks, changes, and curve balls that came up in the protracted short sale process involved for us. He was always available for answering questions and had a creative approach to selling our property that was very successful. Honestly, I extend to sellers this advise: you would be lucky to work with Arlyn Tract if you have the opportunity---he's among the very best realtors out there and a fine compassionate wise fellow as well. I am so very grateful and happy to have had Arlyn on our team! Harriett Wittert

Here is how he contributed to the recent successful sale of my condo. 1. He knows how to create high impact, on-line listings using all the latest technology. 2. With his years of experience, he has excellent judgment on establishing the best starting price for each neighborhood. 3. Arlyn had useful suggestions regarding cost effective repairs and improvement to the property that would enhance its sale value. 4. He has a very efficient system for quickly scheduling showings without delay. 5. He knew how to really listen and understand my concerns as a seller and the concerns of a prospective buyer. 6. Arlyn has excellent negotiating skills and a willingness to go the extra mile. As a result he took a deal that was at risk of falling apart and brought it to a successful conclusion. With hindsight, when I review the experience I had in selling my condo, the most important and best decision I made was to select Arlyn Tratt to be my agent.

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*

He is easy to work with, adaptable, willing to take a risk on looking at properties and is always there to lend an honest opinion. He is great at supporting you while looking for homes, discussing the positive aspects of each property but also pointing out possible down sides that we starry eyed home shoppers sometimes overlook! Great professional to work with and went above and beyond with all aspects of the home shopping and then buying process! Thank you Arlyn!! Martin & Elisa Boughner

I would recommend Arlyn without reservation.

He is very knowledgeable about what to do to get our house ready for showings. He was patient and flexible and always available for questions. He worked with our schedules for showings, was always prompt, and gave us the best service. I would highly recommend Arlyn!!

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!

He says what he will do, and then he does it, which is all too rare and valuable. He understands the market extremely well, and gave us very accurate advice about how to price our house and how to get it ready for sale. His photography for Zillow and virtual staging are exceptional -- we believe that helped us get about 15 showings and multiple offers in the first week of the listing. Last but not least, Arlyn gave us options and worked with us in carrying out our goal of wanting to sell the house quickly. He did a lot of legwork and gave us a lot of detailed attention. Arlyn is a true professional and a very nice guy. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

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!

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!

He helped sell our home in Morton Grove quickly and for more than we were expecting. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and super responsive through the entire process. I'm definitely going to recommend him to my friends and family and look forward to working with him again. Thanks for everything Arlyn!

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.

His available any time when we needed him. He keeps us Informed with any changes. He has good communication skills and treated us like his own family. I highly recommended Arlynn.

Some agents can be pushy, or just want a quick sale and often never listen to you. The more we talked the more he listened and helped us to maximize our potential in both selling and buying. The best part is he cares and always is easy to work with,and now we have a new friend! Thanks Arlen for helping us to achieve our dreams!

!!) and we couldn't have done it without Arlyn. His expertise in real estate was really what we needed since we had no idea where to even begin. Throughout the whole buying experience he was always available to answer questions and advocate for us to make sure we were getting the best value out of our purchase. I highly recommend working with Arlyn and NextHome Elite!!

From the beginning to the closing he was always available and gave us detailed explanations each step of the way. I would definitely recommend his services.

He goes above and beyond to be available and communicate well throughout the entire process. Very personable and wonderful to work with!

She took me around to look at possible rentals. Once I decided to buy she was extremely helpful in explaining the ins and out of purchasing property in Illinois. I’m so happy she was my representative. I will gladly refer her to anyone looking for property. Jeanette...

He is very knowledgeable, very good at guiding you through the home buying process and helped us stay calm through a stressful process. We are thrilled with our new home! We have used Arlyn multiple times now and he will always be our go to guy for real estate. Thanks again Arlyn!

His knowledge of the latest localized buying trends helped set the right price for the house. He was very proactive in getting the property out there and feeling out interest, and as a result, it sold before even hitting the market officially. He was supportive and helpful with all kinds of resources for help getting everything cleared out, making minor repairs, and securing snow shoveling when I was going to be on the other side of the country. Arlyn was very easy to work with and made a difficult situation (clearing out and selling a loved one’s home) much more bearable and feel like a success. I would work with Arlyn again in a heartbeat.

He really cares about his clients and goes way beyond the extra mile! He is involved and does whatever he can to help in the transaction. He is very nice to work with and always accesssible. I highly recommend Arlyn!

He is responsive and understands the market. He also has an unlimited number of contacts to help with a variety of questions and other service needs. He has a no pressure approach and worked with our goals.

From the minute we met him, my husband and I were comfortable with how he approached things. He didn't push us into any decisions, yet gave us strong recommendations when appropriate. I needed to talk things through thoroughly, asked a lot of questions, and was overwhelmed and stressed about the process when it began. Arlyn was patient and calm, which made the process much better than I imagined. His professionalism, expertise and excellent interpersonal skills all contribute to make him a wonderful representative for anyone attempting to purchase or sell a home.

Walked me through each step the millions of times I asked. Very personable and with great recommendations.

He helped make the process very smooth from the search, through the transaction, and all the way to the closing. He provided excellent recommendations for service providers. Would definitely use Arlyn again!

He always put me and my family's best interest first, and we could not have had such successful sale without him. He always listened to his client's needs and was very responsive to find answers and options no matter how complicated the issues. We felt he was part of our family as he provided us everything we needed to make an informed decision and was so patient and thorough in being considerate of all our needs. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the Chicagoland area who is looking to work with one of the most trustworthy professional real estate agent.

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.

Very responsive and easy to get ahold of.
