"Joanne and Rachel are beyond incredible. They helped our family purchase our dream home and I am unbelievably impressed with them both. They are extremely professional, amazing listeners, and they genuinely care about finding the perfect fit for you! I cannot recommend them enough. In my opinion they are the best real estate agents in Chicago hands down. If you need to purchase a home they are your go to! Thank you Joanne and Rachel!!"

Seller - Lincoln Park
"Joanne represented us in selling our Lincoln Park condo. She is extremely knowledgeable of the local market. She and her team are extremely professional and were very helpful throughout the entire sale process (initial listing, pricing, pictures, marketing, negotiations, etc.) and kept things moving forward smoothly. Her network to other local brokers and clients ultimately helped us sell our condo quickly (before public listing). We highly recommend her to any others looking to sell real estate in the Chicago area."
James M.
"We have bought & sold three properties with Joanne & Rachel. They are the consummate professionals. They are experienced, tenacious, hard working, & they know the market. They are also fun to work with, & will make sure they always make the best deal for their clients, whether you’re buying or selling or both. They are the best at what they do, & we highly recommend them."
Joe V.
"We interviewed four different brokers, all of whom came highly recommended by long time friends who we trusted. Our first and lasting impression was that Joanne and Rachel were head and shoulders above the rest. Why? First, they walked into the house and Joanne said there is no other house like this in Chicago. The excitement was real. There observations at that first meeting were accurate and very much appreciated - they saw both the good and the questionable. Throughout the entire process they were always there. We were very happy at closing."
Buyer, March 2020
"Your knowledge and experience led me to make the best possible decision on my purchase. My mind was hopelessly cluttered with too many online listings. You knew what was right for me before I did. You were right when you told me that this home was the "perfect" place for me. It was a pure genius, and something I could not have figured out on my own."
Home Seller
"We've now both bought and sold with Joanne as our agent, and we couldn't be happier with our experience with her! She's incredibly knowledgeable in the Lincoln Park market where we lived, and thinks creatively and strategically to reach new potential buyers. In an EXTREMELY tough market, we sold our house for more than we purchased it for (September 2011), and Joanne was instrumental in closing the deal. Thanks Joanne!"
Jensen B.
"Joanne and Rachel are everything - they listened to our needs, didn’t waste time showing us high commission properties and found us a home that was better than we could have imagined AND at the lower end of our budget. They guided us through every step of the offer and closing process, were always responsive and quick to keep things moving along, negotiating when and where needed. When we outgrow our first home in a few years, Rachel and Joanne will be our first call."
Nicholas Kasner
"From our very first meeting, Joanne and Rachel made me feel taken care of throughout the entire homebuying process. As a first-time buyer, they helped me navigate a challenging market and were always available to answer my questions and join me on tours. When I was in the market, properties were being sold within days of being listed. Joanne and Rachel made sure I was the first person to tour the place I ultimately purchased - my offer was accepted before anyone else could take a tour. I would highly recommend Joanne and Rachel to anyone buying or selling a home in the Chicagoland area."
Jennifer L.
"Joanne is amazing. After relocating to the Chicago area, and being 8 months pregnant, Joanne held our hand through the whole search and ultimate purchase of our new home. A whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm, Joanne was able to help us frame our search parameters in a very practical way. She gave us wonderful advise about the different neighborhoods and the pros and cons of the different homes we were viewing. But it was her skill as a negotiator that was the most impressive. She knows the ins and outs of the legal process and drives a hard bargain. She got us into our current house at a great discount, and in the nick of time. She was a pleasure to work with, and we owe her a debt of gratitude."
Bill N.
"Joanne and Rachel helped my wife and I find our first (owned) home together in Lincoln Park. As first-time home buyers, Joanne and Rachel were always willing to explain the details of the process and make sure that we were considering important issues that we might not otherwise have thought of. They also know Lincoln Park and the surrounding neighborhoods extremely well. We enthusiastically recommend!"
Danny E.
"Incredible experience start to finish. Between the constant communication, sourcing of a house that was not even on the market, and negotiation with the seller, we would wholeheartedly recommend Rachel and Joanne. They made the process easy and painless. Definitely worth five stars and beyond!"
Seller, 854 West Webster
"I remember very clearly when we met for the first time in August to discuss listing the house. I had a light bulb moment when you told me that in the current market, a seller's broker cannot sell a house simply by listing it on the MLS and hoping that people show up to see it. You promised me that you would work hard for me, and you delivered on that promise. From the very beginning, this experience was different, and I was confident that the results would be different too. There is no substitute for someone, like you, who has a ton of experience selling homes in Lincoln Park. You have seen it all before and could anticipate how things would play out. It made me very comfortable with the decisions that we made together."
Bekr A.
"We worked with Joanne and Rachel last year when purchasing our first home in Old Irving Park. They helped make the experience pleasant, efficient, and stress-free. We were able to get the house that suited us perfectly thanks to them. They took the time to answer all of our questions and gave us other things to consider when purchasing a home. They are personable, knowledgeable, and a great team to have in your corner!"
Whitney A.
"Rachel and Joanne were amazing to work with! They were extremely responsive to all our questions and requests. They were diligent throughout the entire process and we are so happy we chose to work with them to find our dream home in the city of Chicago. I would highly recommend them."
Peggy P.
"Joanne and Rachel Nemerovski at Compass made what we thought was going to be a stressful and difficult task into a relaxed and thorough process! They were always accessible and took the time to talk with us after viewings to hone in on our likes and dislikes. This alone made the process easier and more enjoyable. They both are very knowledgeable about Chicago real estate, the neighborhoods, and with the nuances/legalities associated with every place we chose to view. And when it was time to make an offer, they worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was to our advantage. We give them our highest recommendation!"
Buyer - Chicago, IL
"Joanne is truly the best there is. Whether you're a first time buyer or an experienced buyer, Joanne is able to utilize her market knowledge and expertise to ensure that her clients are getting the best possible outcome based on their preferences. She's a staple in the Chicago real estate market; this was most apparent when when we would arrive for a showing and the seller/seller's broker immediately recognized who she was or had heard of her. She treats every client she has equally and offers the same level of responsiveness and passion across the board. She accommodates to her client's schedules despite her services being in such high demand all the time. I couldn't imagine going through this process without having Joanne by my side and there is no one else that I will ever use."
Seller, 1255 West Schubert
"Joanne is undoubtedly one of the best and most hard working real estate agents in Chicago. Her skill and professionalism resulted in the sale of our house in Lincoln Park. She is personally involved in every step of the sale process and always had a positive and sunny attitude about our home that she conveyed to buyers."
Jane W.
"If you are looking for someone extremely professional, a strong work ethic and very knowledgable in all aspects of Real Estate, then Joanne is your answer. She is sensitive to your needs and wants and really takes an interest in her clients. She makes you feel like you are her only client and she and her staff are there to answer any questions or solve any problems that may arise. Joanne and her staff from the very start had our beautiful brochures made and her marketing skills were the best. Joanne has great negotiation skills and you can put your trust in her and know that the best job will be done for you in every way!"
Judy M.
"Reflecting 8-9 months later on my experience with Joanne and Rachel, I consider it as having been fortunate, and as an incredible learning experience. They worked diligently and patiently with me to find a buyer for the place I had come to love and value. From initial staging through all the the representative marketing and complex legal work of selling my place, I was guided with kindness and earnest."
Nick P.
"Joanne and Rachel are the best around. They were the first people we contacted when we needed to sell our home. From the initial walk-thru to closing it was a seamless process. They have an extensive network that they leaned on which helped get our house sold at the price we wanted before we even went public. Excellent communicators with us and buyers, were always driving timelines, negotiated on our behalf, always provided helpful tips, and generally lovely to work with. Will continue to refer them and l will definitely lean on them if I find myself buying or selling in the future!"
Clare S.
"I have worked with Rachel and Joanne and they are the best! They have been totally committed to selling and buying homes for me and have always gone the extra mile. The advantage of working with Joanne is that she has worked in Chicago’s Gold Coast and Lincoln Park for so many years that she is extremely knowledgeable about most of the properties in those areas added to which she knows many of the other realtors which is helpful especially when selling. Rachel and Joanne are a great team and get things done in a speedy and professional manner. There are none better !!!"
Seller - Lincoln Park
"Joanne sold our vintage Lincoln Park co-op apartment. From the initial listing and pricing process through the eventual sale and closing, Joanne was actively involved in moving us forward. We chose her to represent us based upon her sterling reputation and upon our personal knowledge of her over a number of years. Our apartment took over a year to sell, but Joanne was tireless during the entire period in marketing and publicizing. She was extremely professional in all her dealings with us. We still believe her to be the most effective real estate professional in Chicago and we heartily recommend her."
Bianca U.
"Joanne and Rachel are absolute gems in the realm of Chicago real estate. Their exceptional service left my husband and me utterly speechless. Despite the challenge of being based in Florida, they seamlessly guided us through the process of finding and acquiring an apartment in Chicago.
Rachel's dedication was truly remarkable. She tirelessly scoured the market, presenting us with options until we found the perfect fit. Her expertise and commitment were evident every step of the way. When it came time to make an offer, Rachel advocated fiercely on our behalf.
From start to finish, Joanne and Rachel exhibited unparalleled professionalism and genuine care for our needs. Their expertise and personalized approach made what could have been a daunting experience feel like a breeze. Without a doubt, they are the epitome of what every realtor should aspire to be.
If you're in search of a Chicago realtor who goes above and beyond, look no further than Joanne and Rachel. Their dedication, knowledge, and unwavering support make them the ultimate choice for anyone navigating the Chicago real estate market."
Kate - Near North, Chicago, IL
"I cannot say enough good things about Joanne. She is very professional while at the same time being relaxed and open. She is easy to communicate with and has the magic touch when it comes to selling. Thank you Joanne!"
Katy P.
"Joanne and Rachel really went above and beyond in assisting me find a permanent residence in Chicago. They really took thorough time to do the research in finding options that fit my needs. We found so many great gems of residences and Joanne & Rachel knew all the right questions to ask to ensure that the process went smoothly. I cannot imagine what this process would have been like if I wasn't in such good hands. Joanne and Rachel are kind, intelligent women to work with, and they really are the best of the best. If you are looking for a broker who is communicative, strong, personable, and well-versed in the housing market, do not hesitate to work with the Nemerovskis!!"
Michael G.
"Joanne and Rachel are nothing short of amazing. They understand the market and individual pieces of property better than their competition. They dig into the underlying facts for their analysis and they hustle for the sale - but they give solid advice of when to walk away or try to get a deal done. I would use them again in a heartbeat. A+ on every scale."
