He helped us understand the market and choose the best time to sell
“Mike took a patient advisory role in helping us choose the best time to sell our home. Over the course of a few years, he would provide information to help us understand the market and choose the best time to sell. As a result, we had 7 offers in three days and sold for considerably more than our listing price. The transaction went well, and we are very glad we had to opportunity to work with him for this very important event in our lives.”
- Dave and Judy McDonough (Sold their home in Barrington)
We couldn't have asked for a better partner on this journey
’We sold our condo and purchased our dream home, all thanks to our amazing realtor, Michael Kurowski! Mike went above and beyond to make this transition smooth and stress-free. His expertise and dedication were evident every step of the way, from listing our condo to finding the perfect home for us in Lake Zurich. We couldn't have asked for a better partner on this journey. If you're looking to buy or sell, we highly recommend Mike! Thank you for making our dream a reality and helping us find the perfect home to raise our family and host many memorable gatherings!”
- Devin & Taylor Manney (Sold their home in Buffalo Grove, Purchased their home in Lake Zurich)
He provides honest feedback, and is someone you can candidly share your thoughts and concerns
“This is our second home that Michael helped us with the buying process. He also helped us sell our first home, which he helped us to buy few years ago. Michael’s tremendous experience, important tips and advice on what changes to make, and giving recommendations on contractors we can use, not only helped us get ready for sale but also get maximum out of that sale transaction and closing on time as we moved to our second home. He is great individual, easy to work with, very responsive, provides honest feedback, and someone with whom you can candidly share your thoughts and concerns. We will highly recommend him for any real estate property transaction.”
- Achhar and Jaswin Singh (Sold their home in Lake Zurich, Purchased their home Long Grove)
He helped us navigate the challenges of multiple sales and did it with great patience and expertise

Having Michael as our Real Estate Agent? Best Decision Ever!
“Having Michael as our Real Estate Agent? Best Decision Ever.” Michael came highly recommended to us by a trusted source and continued to impress us throughout our home buying process with his honesty, flexibility, and meaningful approach to his work. Michael shines at communication. His marketing background and working knowledge of social media make him a stellar agent for 20 and 30-somethings who communicate through texting or otherwise, while the way he drops everything to focus on whatever he’s doing in that moment makes it easy for him to hold conversations with just about everybody.
I think this story is highly telling of his commitment to clients. When we first emailed him, we included a rambling paragraph of vague qualities we were looking for in a home. When we met in person, one of his first remarks was, “I want you to know I will do everything I can to find something close to public transit.” Immediately, Michael was able to pinpoint what was most important. Even though we had not expressed this explicitly in the email, he picked up on it. This is a real gift and a trend we saw throughout our whole experience with him. We received a detailed itinerary before every home excursion that was planned around our busy work schedules, and if we were interested in any other homes we saw along the way, he would do everything in his power to ensure we could also see those while we were in the area. Michael explains information thoroughly and ensures all parties know what to expect.
With Michael, you can be confident that your interests are being met in the best way possible. We cannot thank him enough and consider ourselves extremely lucky to have been represented by him, and plan to recommend him to everyone we know.”

This is the third time my wife and I have used Michael for a home sale/purchase
“This is the third time my wife and I have used Michael for a home sale/purchase. The previous two times he's been great to work with and this time was no exception when it came to selling our home. He knows the market, gives good advice, and he and his team communicate well. We wanted a fast close, so everything needed to be moved along quickly and he and his team stayed on top of everything.”
- Jerry and Heather Klosek (Purchased and sold their home in Wheeling, Purchased their home in Mundelein)
Michael was the perfect person to help us buy our first home!
“Michael was the perfect person to help us buy our first home! He was extremely knowledgeable and understood what we were looking for. He was also very patient and willing to show us A LOT of homes before we found the one. Michael was very personable and really cared about our best interests. He went above and beyond what we expected from a realtor. We highly recommend him!”
- Andy and Adrienne Wojciechowicz (Purchased their home in Mount Prospect)
Mike will forever be our realtor and has become a friend as well
“Mike and his team are very detail oriented and responsive. His overall knowledge of the current market conditions enabled us to make max profit on our sale while at the same time reducing the price on our purchase. His knowledge on the process, everything from staging to what photographer to use, and how to present our home to the buyer, is without reproach. His process allowed us to sell our home for above list price in less than 48 hours. During the purchase process he always made himself available on our schedule and took the time to learn who we are and what we wanted and guided us within our means to that end. He and his team allowed us to take our time and make sure it was right for us and guided us on fair market offers, Mike allowed us to let one "slip away" if it wasn't the right price, he did not push and was patient with us throughout the entire process. Mike will forever be our realtor and has become a friend as well. I would recommend Mike to anyone, in any market.”
- Steve and Mary Copeland (Sold and purchased their homes in Lake Villa and Warrenville)
Mike also led us through multiple rounds of negotiation to get to a price we were comfortable with
“Michael Kurowski is a very professional real estate agent who listened to our specific wants and needs. Mike has shown absolute patience to walk us through several properties we were interested in, every time we viewed a new property Mike would perform a methodical inspection, looking for signs of problems and commenting on the quality of construction, finish, appliances, etc. Mike also led us through multiple rounds of negotiation to get to a price we were comfortable with. In the end we found the property that was perfect for us and are loving it so far.”
- Shruthi Thalapally (Purchased their condo in Rosemont)
His wisdom, heart and knowledge are priceless
“We were newlyweds, first time home buyers and expecting! Sure, no pressure Michael, on finding us a gem we can actually afford we thought. All I can say is Michael knows what he is talking about and for people that didn’t know anything about real estate, we sure learned a lot! Michael never gave up on us even after we did. We were embarrassed to ask him again 4 months later to keep looking so we stopped calling him, but he never stopped! And when he said, "You guys better jump on this one!" we didn't even blink… we believed him.
He held our hand throughout the entire process and didn't allow our lender to slip with time sensitive material – and that was way more than I ever expected from a realtor. Now we can sleep at night, resting assured that we made the right investment. I hate to sound corny, but for lack of better words, his wisdom, heart and knowledge are priceless. Now that we have our first stepping stone he is pointing us in the right direction again as we are expecting and will be outgrowing our home soon!”
- Marcin and Joanna Malek (Purchased their home in Glen Ellyn)
He was always available to answer questions and was flexible when we requested to see a house
We had a great experience working with Michael to purchase our first home! He was personable, responsive, knowledgeable and patient as we looked at homes throughout the Fox River Grove / Cary area. He was always available to answer questions and was flexible when we requested to see a house - sometimes without much notice! We would definitely recommend working with Michael for real estate needs.
- Ashley Cole (Purchased her home in Fox River Grove)
He seems to truly want to do what's in your best interests
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Mike as our buyer's agent for about three months. He's very friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. He knows the northwest suburbs well. We went on several weekend tours with Mike and he was always available and low-pressure. He seems to truly want to do what's in your best interests.
- Ron and Jaime Smith (Purchased their home in Ingleside)
We will be using you for all other investments and will highly recommend you to all of our friends
My wife and I couldn't be happier with Michael. We used a different Realtor and went through approximately 50 plus showings until I finally gave up and changed. I just so happen to find Michael online and we found our property after only six showings. He is very poignant with his searches and asked very relevant questions to assess our needs. Obviously, the proof was in the timeline as we have now been in our 3 flat (that came with long-term tenants) for over a year now and love it. Michael also took the time to get to know us personally and is a very eloquent and respectful individual.
Thank you Michael, we really appreciate your professionalism. We will be using you for all other investments and highly recommend you to all of our friends.

He had very good recommendations that I helped sell our home sell faster and for the best price
We used Michael as both our buyer and seller agent when we purchased our new home and sold our old home. He was very helpful and easy to work with as we went through both grueling processes. He had very good recommendations that I think helped sell our old home sell faster and for the best price. He is also a very good listener when it came to us helping find our new home, as he showed us homes that were in tune with our liking. Overall, would definitely use Michael again. -

He is very responsive; customer-focused and has tons of patience to listen to your requirements and concerns. He gave us his expert opinion throughout the buying process.

Michael is a professional agent dedicated to getting your house sold
“I had to sell my home from out-of-state and I could not have done so without Michael. He worked with my neighbor who was watching over the home for me, made great suggestions for little things that could be done to help sell and I had the house up for sale with pictures quickly with no problems. I am still grateful for his professionalism and dedication to the job which made selling my home a breeze. I would recommend Michael to any potential clients as you will get the best service you could ask for from him.”

I am happy to say that Mike Kurowski more than exceeded my expectations. He put me at ease throughout the entire process and I felt he truly wanted to help me find my home. We spent a lot of time together really figuring out what it was I wanted and guided me along every step of the way. Mike was very courteous, knowledgeable and motivated to help. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home. Because of him I found the perfect house for me.”

He knows what has to be done and does it right, the first time
“Michael is a professional broker in the sense that he knows what has to be done and does it right.”
His stager/photographer arranged things in my home, took pictures and Michael produced a beautiful marketing brochure. He kept me up-to-date on all viewings and comments. Michael worked with the buyers and their attorney and the sale was very smooth -- I didn't even have to go to the closing. My check was even deposited to my bank account for me. I highly recommend Michael to be your broker.

Michael, you my friend are what every realtor should strive to be
Michael, first thank you so much for the great gift, and secondly let me thank you from both Cheryll and I for your great help in getting us into this home. You my friend are what every realtor should strive to be. I can't be more impressed with your professionalism and attention to everything we had to say to you when looking for property. Thanks again and rest assured that anytime we need anything to do with real estate we will turn to you.

Provided an extra level of service and delivered on everything he told me he would do
I was selling my house while no longer residing in the area. Mike helped manage many of the smaller items that come up in the home selling process and provided an extra level of service doing this. He and his wife even went to purchase some light fixtures to replace some fixtures that looked dated prior to listing our house. This was a big help since I no longer lived in the area. He delivered on everything he told me he would do in his sales pitch when I interviewed a few prospective real estate agents. He also booked a phenomenal photographer to take pictures of our home and made sure everything was staged nicely. - Colin & Elaine (Sold their home in Deer Park)
His knowledge of the local market made the entire process seamless and stress-free
I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael to find my dream home, and I couldn't be more impressed with his dedication and expertise. From the initial consultation to the final closing, Michael was always available, responsive, and proactive in addressing my needs and concerns. His knowledge of the local market and his ability to navigate complex transactions made the entire process seamless and stress-free. He went above and beyond to ensure that I found the perfect property, and his negotiation skills are very good. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients' success and well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and passionate real estate broker. Five stars aren't enough - he deserves ten.
