We signed a contract on a Saturday and scheduled video and photographs the following week. Everything went live online within a week and our home was shown numerous times and sold within a month of going online live. We couldn't ask for a better representative to list and sell our home. Call Dave and he will take care of selling your home!

Brian was outstanding as a real estate agent. There is a lot to get in to here. He began the process with a thorough and detailed explanation of what all would happen throughout the home buying experience. He provided us documents of the steps to take and a faux contract to understand what that would look like and explained each step thoroughly.
He was incredibly quick to respond to us and scheduled showings immediately, he was incredibly flexible and accommodating.
The area I want to call attention to most was his friendly and punctual assistance. My fiancé and I are very nervous homebuyers and we each time we were concerned or didn’t understand something in the closing process he would calm our nerves and offer friendly, professional guidance. We viewed, offered, and closed on our home in under 60 days.
We COULD NOT have accomplished purchasing our first home without Brian’s help. I could not recommend his services more, he is the bar at which all realtors should measure themselves.

Dave was fantastic during the entire process. He made time to meet at the house I was selling to answer questions and explain everything in great detail. Pictures of the house were great and the virtual tour was a nice touch. His communication throughout the entire selling of the property was top notch. If I ever had questions or concerns he was always there to answer the phone or would call me back a short time later.

I usually do not write reviews, but I cannot say enough about the great experience with The Faxel Group. Dave made the selling process seamless, and I felt reassured at all times. Dave's experience and professionalism set him apart from the rest. Dave listed and sold my townhome (over listing price) in less than 48 hours. He communicates effectively with other realtors and gets the job done. I highly recommend The Faxel Group!

Dave is great
I was looking online best ways to sell my home cheap and read Dave's adds.
Not knowing what I was getting into I left my name phone and adress for a estimate on my home.
A few days later I got a brochure in the mail and it was all about My Home and after calling Dave accepting a home interview , I sold my property in 3 days and I'm very happy.
i recommend Dave Faxel
Thanks Dave

Working with Dave during the process of purchasing our very first home was certainly a pleasure. He was professional all the way, took his time to understand exactly what we were looking for in terms of budgetary limitations, style of property, neighborhood, etc and made excellent recommendations per our requirements, and responded same day to emails. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and resourceful.
We were never left wondering what we needed to do at any point during the whole process, i.e. from our initial introduction and meeting to the closing, because Dave being a very knowledgeable, considerate and attentive agent, noted all of our concerns and offered excellent suggestions every time. When we needed recommendations of the very best licensed experts for the various inspections, tests and legal services phase of the process, Dave had no shortage talents to recommend.
Looking back, we would not have asked for a better real estate agent to work with.
We do recommend the services of Dave to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, as he is, in our opinion, one of the finest in the business.

Even when the process wasn’t smooth, he did everything he could to make sure things got done. He always made us feel like we were a priority, and was always available to answer any of our questions.

Dave was a pleasure to work with. He was very patient, answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease through the process. He got us the best price for our house and we were very happy choosing him to represent us. Not only did he sell our house, but we got 4 offers within 48 hours because of his professionalism and advice. We also had 15 showings scheduled the first 2 days, and about 14 more that were cancelled because we accepted an over well over asking price. My favorite quote from Dave is “I’m always on the clock”, which is true considering he would always respond no matter when I was contacting him.

Dave is an amazing realtor! He helped us buy a house three years ago and when we were ready to sell, we knew we had to call him! He sold our current house and helped us buy a new one.

Dave is a professional who focuses on the detail. He thoroughly presented a marketing strategy for the sale of our home. The photos taken of our home were excellent and highlighted the major features of our home. The first weekend open house generated over 20 showings. We were offered a contract within two weeks at full asking price. The closing of our home occurred approximately 45 after we signed the listing agreement. We are very satisfied with Dave and his team throughout the entire process of selling our home.

Dave did a great job packaging our townhouse for sale and then marketing it aggressively through the begining months of the COVID crisis.

I was relocating from Seattle to Chicagoland and needed to find a realtor who could guide me through the process in my new state.
Dave is the man, he worked with my 2 hour time difference, sent me listings that met my qualifications, texted to check on what houses were on my list to see when I got to town.
He worked with my sister-in-law on my behalf, and when we found my house he went above and beyond and did not only market research, but put in an offer that saved me money and was accepted by the seller.
Great guy, professional, personable.
Call Dave, you won't be disappointed.

My mom used Dave to sell her house, and he helped her sell in a few short weeks. Of course, we used his services when we decided to sell our home. He helped us know what we needed to do to make it more marketable, as he had a plan on how to gain the most interest. We had two offers within three days, and our house was sold in less than a week AT ASKING PRICE. We highly recommend Dave for any of your realty needs. He's very communicative and has a great understanding of the market.

He made the entire process from getting our 30 yr old home ready for listing pictures (thanks Erin), through to our "extended" closing much less stressful and more smoothly than it could have gone.

David was an outstanding realtor in representing us as the seller for our home. He was upfront and honest in what he believed we could get for our house, and worked hard in advising us in preparation of our home for showings, as well as generating the 3D walk-thru images for on-line inspections by potential buyers. Even as the challenge unfolded with the appraised value coming in slightly below the original offer price, David worked closely with the appraisal data to insure everything was resolved to our satisfaction, and fairly.
I heartily recommend David Faxel as a realtor, and know he will be honest and work tirelessly on your behalf - be it for a seller or buyer. A job well done!

We were introduced to Dave and his team at a new home buyers informational session, hosted by the same group. We went with no real expectations, as our home search was still too far off to really worry about. It would have been impossible to guess that session would provide us with such a highly skilled, motivated, and friendly team.
Once the time came to start our house search, Dave was our first and only call. From the first meeting to closing, the experience left us with all of our needs not only met, but surpassed. We never once felt uncertain asking Dave any questions, no matter how silly they may have seemed. When we started narrowing down our potential home interests, Dave referred us to the other groups required to complete the whole process. The great experience we were having with Dave continued with all of his recommendations. He has truly cultivated an incredible team. We just recently closed on our home and in retrospect are amazed at how efficient Dave and his team made the process.
If you are looking for a realtor who will make you feel heard and can also provide great referrals for every step of the process, look no further. Dave is your guy and we will be using him going forward for all of our real estate needs.

Dave and Erin Faxil of NextHome were the best to work with as we were selling our home. Dave researched all the evaluated our home and researched the values of the homes in the area so the recommended price of our home was acceptable to us and very attractive to the buyer. Before our home was placed on the market, Erin, took pictures of our home as well as a virtual 360 tour. The virtual tour was so awesome, we asked for the file so we could keep it as a memory of what was our home for over 43 years! The best part of all was our home sold with one day for full asking price. Thanks Dave and Erin for such a wonderful experience!

I used Dave to purchase a home several years ago. He proved himself to be honest, trustworthy and professional. At my request he came out to the property a few months before we were ready to list and ran through a list of improvements we were contemplating to give us an honest opinion of what would give us the best bang for our buck. He was spot on with the sale price, and like another property we sold, it was gone in one day, with multiple offers! Throughout the process, he was accessible and always had answers to my questions. He got us a great price for the house and it sold in under 3 days.I would refer Dave to anyone that is looking to sell their home.

Our house sold in 10 days! We had worked with Dave Faxel while we were
contemplating listing the property. He gave great advice on how to prep the
home for sale. Dave gave us some pointers on what was worth investing in an
upgrade before listing and what just needed a little sprucing up. His
advice helped us to prep the home so he could work his magic marketing the
property! The hard work we put in to stage the home really showed in all of
the advertising of the property. The pictures of our home highlighted the
best features and peaked prospective buyers interest to see the property in
person. We had our first showing within 24 hours of listing the property!
At a time when emotions can run high and families having differing desires,
Dave's professionalism shined through. He was able to communicate and be
patient to understand everyone's needs. He answered numerous questions and
eased our nerves about the biggest purchase of our lives. His knowledge
about the different towns and neighborhoods help to guide our decision.
Dave's input was respectful. With every decision along the way, we clearly
felt that we were in the driver's seat. His navigation was critical in
finding our dream home and not settling for something less than what we set
out for on day 1. If we steered off path, he would remind us of our
previous conversations about our wish lists and that we would find the
perfect place and know it when we walked in the door. I highly recommend
Dave Faxel!

I interviewed 3 realators and choose Dave. I felt that he gave me the best advice as what improvements needed or not needed to be made and why. Within 4 days I had multiple offers. I'm sure not every listing sells this quickly but was happy that mine did. Thank you Dave!

- Tammy H (Vice President )
"
Working with Dave was phenomenal experience, especially as a first-time buyer. When I had questions, and there were many, Dave had quick, detailed answers. Sugar-coating things is not his way, and I appreciate that.
What made me almost instantly comfortable working with Dave is how, above all, he made it immediately apparent that he wanted me in a place where I could see myself and reasonably expect to be happy. There was never a hard sell or pressure of any kind.
On top of all that, Dave is simultaneously honest and optimistic. The second time we went to look at properties was a Thursday that ended up being as fruitless as our first trip. Rather than let me be enchanted by shiny objects, Dave was quick to point out concerns he had and steer me clear of what I quickly realized would have been poor decisions had I pursued lesser properties.
Even though I felt a little deflated after that second trip, the next day a bunch of other properties suddenly popped up. I was ready to go to a few open houses that Saturday, but Dave both worked his magic to line up a half dozen showings and then rearranged his schedule so he could be there, too.
In a nutshell, Dave's communicative, buyer-focused, honest, optimistic, and available to his clients. I don't know that I could have asked for anything more when buying the house in which I am currently living. If you have a chance to work with him, do so without hesitation. Should I ever find myself looking to move again, Dave will be my first call.

Had the house on the market, showings, an open house, multiple offers with one accepted all within 5 days. If you want your house to sell fast and get the most money out of the market that is solid enough to stand all the obstacles, The Faxel Group is the way to go! Thank you to this wonderful team for the ease in this process

Dave Faxel was the best part of our buying process. This time can be stressful and it was nice to know that there was one aspect of the sale that I didn't have to constantly follow up on. Whatever Dave's responsibilities, he took care of them immediately, leaving my wife and me with peace of mind and one less thing to worry about. I can't say enough good about the service Dave provided and how much we enjoyed working with him. Need to see a house at 7am? Dave will be there. Need it to be 7pm instead? He'll be there.

Brian was a top-notch realtor, and I would absolutely recommend going with Brian for your next home search! As a first-time buyer, Brian was extremely patient and transparent throughout the entire process. Not only was he extremely responsive, but he was always willing to come out to us in Oak Park during our buying process. I work as a teacher and he was always willing to do showings at times that worked best for me and my fiancé. 10/10 experience with Brian, and I am so grateful that we had him through every step of our home buying experience.

Genelle Chisholm did a great job selling our home. Circumstances made it necessary to sell quickly and get moved to our new home. Our home was not easy to sell as it needed some work. Genelle went above and beyond in finding our new home and selling our old as painlessly as possible. Definitely 5 stars in my book!

Dave was by far the best realtor I have ever dealt with. Even when we can up to some road blocks he quickly gave my wife and I answers and resolutions. Our house was on the market for just HOURS before we received an offer over list price! 5 stars truly aren’t enough for what I think about the Jon Dave did in selling our home.

Dave made the selling of our home very easy from start to finish. He was extremely professional and yet very personable with many great ideas on how to stage the house to please the current home buyers.

From the very beginning of the process to sell my home, Dave was involved with every step. Dave gave me guidance on what should be done to get the house ready to put on the market. Once on the market, Dave quickly advertised the house on various sites to ensure wide coverage. Once the house was sold, which only took a few days, Dave still stayed involved until closing. Dave is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He works for you. I truly feel that Dave’s invaluable assistance kept a stressful matter manageable. I couldn’t be happier.

Genelle was amazing to deal with! She had our home sold in 4 days and for over asking price. She is through and explained everything to us and responded quickly to all of our questions. She was even ready to have an open house week 1! We highly recommend Genelle!

Brian did an amazing job, spotted issues in many houses and used a wide body of knowledge to help us understand and after helping us patiently search for over a year he was able to help us seal the deal on a beautiful home & we couldn’t be happier with the advice and responsiveness over the whole process.
