    Client Reviews
    “Anna recently helped my husband and I buy our first home. We met Anna at an open house, and she seemed so knowledgeable and easy to talk to that we decided pretty much on the spot that we wanted her as our realtor. We had a lot of apprehension about picking out the right house, but we felt that we were in very good hands with Anna. She really took the time to walk us through each house and point out pros and cons that oftentimes we would have missed. Her years of experience and familiarity with the Chicagoland area are a great asset. She was always prompt to respond to emails/texts/phone calls, and she made herself available for showings whenever our schedules allowed. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor. ”
    Joel and Amanda P., Vernon Hills
    “Our family has bought five homes through Anna. Her expertise and knowledge of the area is second to none. She is aware of school districts and the communities which is so important for families. She knows the marketplace very well and is right on with property values. Our oldest son was not ready to move out but Anna counseled that interest rates would never be lower and helped him buy his first home. She also negotiated the rental of his home until he is ready to move in. We couldn’t be happier. ”
    Denise M., Mundelein
    “Anna helped us find a great first home in a very short period. She was quick to understand our family’s needs and was with us every step of the way. She was always available for discussions or walk throughs and put us at complete ease. She kept our interest in mind and worked very closely and promptly to close the deal. We totally recommend her if anyone’s looking for a great Realtor. ”
    Chandramouli M., Lincolnshire
    “Thank you to Anna Klarck for helping us find our new home! Through the entire process my family and I felt as though Anna was our private realtor working only for us. Anna responded to every call quickly and her knowledge and expertise was evident as she patiently answered all of our questions. Most importantly, she listened to us and helped us zone in on what we were looking for in a home. Anna’s upbeat and joyous personality also made it fun to meet to view homes. We highly recommend working with Anna Klarck and have already given her name to friends. I am confident you will not be disappointed in her knowledge and willingness to work for you! ”
    Lisa L., Mundelein
    “Buy/Sell your home with Anna. She is the BEST! Was with us every step of the way and negotiated a great deal for us. She will take time to answer all your questions and if she feels a house is a bad fit she will speak up and say something, not try and sell you a bad house. ”
    Trevor O. and Lisa C., Palatine
    “We couldn’t be happier with working with Anna! From the moment I met her I felt like I had known her for years. She’s so warm and friendly and always put my families best interest first. We have 3 small children which can make the home buying experience very hard, but she went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We had originally been looking in a different area at the beginning of our search. Anna had mentioned good key points to us about our commute for work and schools, since that was important to us. She really found the PERFECT house for us. We have been in this house for about a week now and it already feels like home. Anna has so much knowledge of real estate, and so wonderful to work with. Not only did we get a great new house, we made a new friend. We 100% recommend Anna Klarck! ”
    Kurt and Jenna K., Lake Villa
    “Anna is the most incredible agent. We were nervous about taking our first steps into the Real Estate world, but from the moment we met Anna we knew everything was going to be okay and that she had our very best interests at heart. We fell in love with the first home we looked at and Anna dropped everything to get us in for a second viewing the same night we asked. She was honest and up front with us about absolutely everything, and we felt fully informed throughout the entire process. We looked at some other homes just to be certain that the first really was our dream home (it was) and then Anna guided us through the entire process of making our offer, having it accepted, arranging required inspections, all the way through to closing. Every single step of the way we felt comfortable and confident with Anna on our team. We are beyond delighted in our new home and don’t plan on going anywhere any time soon, but if we ever decide to move on, we will be working with Anna without question. In a world where you can’t necessarily trust what people say, Anna is a breath of fresh air. Honest, reliable, kind, understanding, friendly, helpful and fun, Anna is the very best Real Estate Agent I have ever come across and I am forever grateful that she came into our lives. Anna, thank you SO much for making this experience such a wonderful one. I will recommend you in a heartbeat. You are the very best out there and you changed our lives. ”
    Kathleen and Penny C., Lake Villa
    “I would highly recommend Anna for any buyer or seller. Anna is both caring and professional. She both sold my home and helped me purchase a new one. She helped me get the best price for the home I sold. That included helpful advice as to repairs and improvement prior to listing, then staging the house for showings. Her handling of the sale negotiation and closing made it easy for me. There was a lot of back and forth during this time; I think she saved the sale when it got difficult. When it came time to purchase a new home, Anna showed a lot of patience. I am very picky and Anna stuck with me over several months of searching for my new “perfect” home. Needless to say, Anna found it for me. When the seller asked for more than I was willing to pay, Anna again “saved” the deal by working with the sellers agent. I got the home I wanted and at a price that I could afford. And once I took possession, she even helped me pick out paint colors! As a single, professional man I had little time or experience to sell and buy a new home. But Anna’s advice and hands on approach made the process so much easier for me. ”
    Fred M., Grayslake
    “We happened to stumble upon Anna Klarck when looking to view 2 homes in Prairie Crossings on which she was the listing agent. From the moment we reached out she was extremely responsive, flexible and professional. She helped us navigate the process of purchasing our current home while acting as both listing and buying agent. We feel she did an excellent job navigating the sale and are extremely happy with the outcome. We would highly recommend her for your home buying/selling needs. Thank you, Anna! ”
    Travis and Julie B., Grayslake
    “I heartily recommend Anna to anyone looking to sell or purchase a new home. Anna and her team were always on top of everything to the point that I never had to worry about anything. It is clearly obvious that she is an experienced realtor, knows Lake County like the back of her hand, has an extensive list of legal, home inspection, radon testing, mortgage, handyman and home improvement people, etc. to tap into when needed. An individual or couple who chooses to work with Anna will be highly satisfied with the choice they make. ”
