What My Clients Have To Say
-
As first time buyers we were excited to begin our process. After not having a good experience with our first realtor, we were matched with Arielle. Her Enthusiasm and professionalism were refreshing. She answered countless questions and calls at any time of the day. She was resourceful and honest. The overall experience was great and we would recommend her to our friends.
Franco & Cameron, Rogers Park -
Thank you again for all you did to assist us through the process of buying our home in Wilmette. We felt your commitment to us from the beginning when we first inquired about properties through the website, and the assurance that your goal was to help us find the home and neighborhood that fit best for us. As you know, it was especially challenging for us because it was an interstate purchase and we could not be present to attend the inspection, do the walk through, or attend the closing! It meant so much that you represented us by attending each and following up with such thorough reports. We both had the utmost confidence in you and felt throughout the process that you were truly our advocate. Your referrals for attorney and inspector were excellent, and just as important as the emotional support and reassurance you provided along the way. You made this as easy and as painless as possible!
We are now happily settling into our new home and we love it! Thank you Arielle!
Laura and Tim Dwyer, Wilmette -
Arielle was a great realtor. She was always available to answer any questions that I had.
Luke Townsend, Rogers Park -
Working with Dream Town has been a pleasurable experience for me. Buying your first home can be extremely overwhelming and stressful. I was lucky to have Arielle Turover guide me through this journey.
Her support was wonderful. She was very friendly and always had a smile on her face, but most importantly she was very patient with me, never overbearing, and made me feel relaxed when it came down to decision making. She was available to me day and night for all of my questions and was very determined to find the place that was perfect for me. I am very pleased with the dedication and hard work Dream Town and Arielle have given me.

Natalia Land, Edgewater -
As first time home buyers we were in need of a lot of "hand holding" throughout the process. Arielle was not only patient but very available, informed, and efficient as well. She provided many options and genuinely cared about our wants and needs. She was always prompt to our appointments and conducted herself in very professional manner.
Arielle was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her services.

Gretchen, Lakeview -
Arielle helped me buy a condo in the Chicago area, my first home purchase. The transaction was complicated because the purchase was happening at a distance (I lived in New York at the time), and had to coordinate my two house hunting visits to Chicago quite carefully. I found Arielle to be smart, savvy, and a calming presence throughout the entire process. She knows how to focus a search for properties. She anticipates problems and thinks creatively about how to address them. She explains things to a first time home buyer patiently and clearly. She has a great sense of humor. She's a first-rate advocate for a home buyer.
Peter, Oak Park -
Thank you for assisting us in finding our perfect second home in Chicago. It is hard to imagine that we found you on the internet and most of the work was done via telephone and email. You listened to us and you knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of location and the amenities that fit our family's lifestyle and needs. We truly appreciated your reliability, flexibility, and the ongoing communication that made this transaction so smooth, particularly since we had specific time and scheduling constraints associated with living out of state. You made a potentially very stressful experience a very easy one because of your strong commitment and knowledge, as well as the trustworthy referrals that facilitated the purchase of our condo. Thanks again Arielle, for helping us realize our dream of living in downtown Chicago.
Lori and Andrew, River North -

Knowing that I would eventually move to Chicago, I had been using the Dream Town website in the years prior to re-locating. Browsing real-estate online is daily exercise for me, and I was drawn to the Dream Town website because of the outstanding selection of homes, and the great search and view tools available to me. In March, 2006, Arielle Turover contacted me by the telephone, and offered to help me find the best property for my needs. We started working together almost immediately. I took my time looking at condominium properties in different areas and price points, and ended up purchasing the perfect home in December, 2007. In nine months, Arielle showed me not less than fifty properties in three different neighborhoods. What really struck me about Arielle was the fact that, as a young real estate agent, she was remarkably patient and understanding; my previous experience with other agents in both Chicago and Vancouver taught me that most real estate agents out there are just looking for a fast commission. Arielle was different -- and that impressed me. She let me take my time and worked hard to learn as much about me as she could so that we could work as a team and search for the perfect fit ý regardless of how long it took. As a Canadian working in the United States, financing my first home was a challenge as well. Arielle was with me the whole way -- and worked hard to make sure I was getting the best rate with the best bank. To say the very least, my experience in working with Arielle Turover and Dream Town Realty has been wonderful. Arielleýs knowledge, patience, and genuine interest in her client's needs is truly unique -- and has made home buying a very pleasant experience for me. I look forward to working with Arielle and Dream Town in the future, and have recommended her to many of my own clients and friends.

Arielle Turover of Dream Town was able to rent my condominium in less than a week. Her professionalism and prompt response was welcoming. I will definitely use Dream Town for future sales and rental.
Nicola Roache, Gold Coast -
Ginger and I were first time homebuyers working with a modest budget, but Arielle never hesitated to show us condo after condo. She was friendly, patient, and (most importantly) genuinely interested in finding us the right first home. In short, we couldn't be happier, and we'll definitely be calling her again when we decide to make our next move.
Nick and Ginger, Edgewater -
When a beautiful woman sits between two men, the usual joke is that she is 'a rose among thorns. ' To us, Arielle Turover, is a rose among thorns. This is not to say that other realtors are thorns or thorny, it is just that Arielle is one of the best realtors we have dealt with in our many real estate transactions. Arielle has learned the tools of her trade well. She is customer-centric, knowledgeable, thorough, determined, and honest. She will point out the pro's and con's of each property and will not apply any high pressure maneuvers to get you to commit to something that may or may not suit you. Arielle is detailed oriented and follows through with each phase of the purchase, even after the closing. I have no hesitation in recommending Arielle to anyone who is in the market, either as a seller or as a purchaser.
Angelina, Streeterville -
My sister and I purchased our first condo with Arielle Turover. My sister and I began our search with a realtor from another company, but were dismayed at the way our condo hunt was shaping up. It seemed as though we were searching for a needle in a haystack. We needed to find and close on a condo in three months, but we kept seeing the same undesirable things in each condo that we visited so the search never seemed to become more fine-tuned. We felt there had to be a better way to look for a new home. We switched realtors to Arielle Turover and suddenly our searching became much more focused and manageable. Arielle took the time to understand what we were looking for and did a tremendous amount of legwork to make sure a property had all of our desired features before we took the time to drive out and see it. Arielle helped us quickly narrow down our choices to a top three list, had us hash out pros and cons of each, and guided us through writing a contract. Being first time buyers Arielle helped us through every step of the process from price negotiations, to home loans and inspections. Having Arielle by our side though the whole buying process made the whole undertaking much less intimidating.
Brooke McDermot, Rogers Park -
I was on the fence about buying, and decided to meet with Arielle to explore my options. She was energetic, easy to connect with, and incredibly helpful. I ended up purchasing the first place I saw, but it wasn't that easy. My "closing marathon" was rough, and Arielle got me over each hurdle. She was responsive, very patient, smoothed my feathers on many occasions, and answered/addressed every question that came up. Arielle taught me a ton about purchasing a home. She's a great person to work with.
