BUYER TESTIMONIALS

Morgan works tirelessly in all hours of the day to help her clients

Morgan was patient with my home search and was not judgmental on my housing choices and works tirelessly in all hours of the day to help her clients.

Having trust in a realtor is an absolute must and you can really trust Morgan’s advice from start to finish

I previously worked with Morgan on the sale of my home when I was moving internationally. Morgan made that process so easy and pain free. I followed her advice on staging and other presale prep and we sold the home at a good price in less than a month. In the first weeks of JANUARY!! Since I had such a great experience on my sale, I turned to Morgan when it was time to buy in Chicago again. Morgan listened to my needs, took the time to figure out what were showstoppers for me, and showed me enough options online that we could narrow down to a few in-person viewings. I knew I could rely on the judgement and expertise of Morgan and her team when discussing aspects of various homes and throughout the negotiations in price. Morgan and team were extremely responsive, so we were able to find a place and close within a couple of months. Having trust in a realtor is an absolute must and you can really trust Morgan’s advice from start to finish. She also has great recommendations for supporting services like attorneys, mortgage lenders, and inspectors. When I used her recommendations, everything was like clockwork! If you want a realtor who takes time to listen to your needs, makes you feel like a priority client, knows the city market, and can be trusted and relied upon throughout every step of the process, Morgan is the realtor for you!

Morgan is an amazing negotiator and easily the best agent we have ever worked with

Morgan and her team were fantastic in finding our home. She was of utmost professional and her attention to detail is unmatched. All we had to say was what we were looking for and she found our home in a timely manner for a wonderful price. She’s an amazing negotiator and easily the best agent we have ever worked with.

Thanks to Morgan

Morgan handled my very specific requirements for purchasing an investment property with ease. She not only served as my agent, but also my real estate therapist as different challenges presented themselves along the way.  Thanks to Morgan I’m ready to embark on this next endeavor of being a landlord!

 

– PAM MCPHERSON

She was the best ally for me throughout the attorney review, inspection, and closing stages.

As a first-time home buyer, I loved working with Morgan Sage. She brings a depth of real estate experience and tremendous knowledge of the local housing market. When we first met, she took the time to really get to know me and what I was looking for in a home. She showed me many great places, and with her help, I’m in a space today that I truly love. Morgan was extremely helpful during home visits; she would ask questions to the listing agent I would have forgotten to ask and spotted repair issues that I would have never noticed. She was accessible and responsive during the entire process. She was the best ally for me throughout the attorney review, inspection, and closing stages. Morgan always had my best interest in mind and gave me such great advice every step of the way. I am very grateful for Morgan Sage, and I would recommend her to anyone!

 

– CHRISTOPHER HANSEN

She did a great job negotiating a sale price well below the asking price of the home.

This was our first time working with Morgan, but she made us feel like we’ve known her for years.  She was very open and flexible with us.  We were living in Milwaukee at the time, so we had limited ability to look at homes.  She was very accommodating.  Morgan also quickly learned what we were specifically looking for and was able to help us weed out options that did not match our criteria.  She has a good eye for detail in homes and is not hesitant to ask direct questions.  She did a great job negotiating a sale price well below the asking price of the home.  Morgan also has an arsenal of resources in terms of highly recommended painters, cleaning services, etc. that was very helpful before we moved in.  If we ever need to sell or purchase another home, we will definitely turn to Morgan Sage again!

 

– ALFONSO CARMONA

When we wanted to put and offer down, she made sure our offer was not too high

Morgan was a pleasure to work with in every way.  She really made sure to understand what both my boyfriend and I wanted in a property.  We both had different requirements and desires. When we wanted to put and offer down, she made sure our offer was not too high. After we purchased, she did a great job helping us through the process. We received a great credit for improvements.  I would work with her again in a second and I am because she is selling my old house.

 

– JESSICA SCHULMAN

Morgan was particularly helpful when I wanted a property and needed the price to come down just a little to stay within budget.

I have used Morgan’s services before so when it came time to purchase, there was no hesitation in contacting her again to help me purchase property. Morgan was particularly helpful when I wanted a property and needed the price to come down just a little to stay within budget.  Morgan either worked out a strategy, used her intuition, or waved her magic wand and got me into a signed contract at a price I could afford.  I would not consider using anyone else for buying the biggest purchase of my life.  Kudos to her!

 

– LAURA STANG

I never felt like I was waiting long for a response to any of my many inquiries.

Morgan Sage was extremely responsive to my questions and concerns. I never felt like I was waiting long for a response to any of my many inquiries. Additionally, her recommendations for service providers were extremely on point. I felt very secure with all the folks involved in the purchasing process. I cannot say enough good things about Morgan Sage and my experience with her. I felt like I was in extremely good hands from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to family and friends.

 

– KATHERINE HERINGHAUS

She walked us through the entire timeline and process and asked us detailed questions about what we liked and didn’t like in homes

As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions.  Morgan took the time to answer all of them.  During our first meeting, she walked us through the entire timeline and process and asked us detailed questions about what we liked and didn’t like in homes.  She seemed to really care about finding something that was right for us.  We ended up finding the perfect home in just a few weeks.  The whole process was very smooth.  We would absolutely work with Morgan again and will recommend her to others.

 

– JESSICA EKHOFF

She really helped close the deal for me and get me the place I wanted.

Morgan was very knowledgeable about the market and was able to find me a lot of properties to pick from and then responded quickly with any further inquiries on them.

She really helped close the deal for me and get me the place I wanted. It came down to me and one other buyer and she made it happen at the 11th hour.

 

– NOAH BUGAI

I would recommend Morgan to a friend or family member looking to buy a home in a heartbeat.

A friend referred Morgan Sage after working with her on the purchase of his first home. I am so happy he did because Morgan was phenomenal.

At our first meeting, she outlined the process of buying a home for us since we are now first-time homeowners and even gave us a glossary of terms that we would encounter in the real estate world. This was actually quite helpful, as we were completely unfamiliar with the process.

Morgan was involved in every aspect of our home purchase. She asked our list of priorities when selecting a home and worked quickly to find possibilities to fit what we wanted. We had limited free time, so she fit us in whenever we were available to see listings that fit our specifications. She would promptly answer any questions we had throughout the process of finding a home. She helped us negotiate the price down quite a bit from initial asking price. She noticed a lot more about the homes we looked at and commented on their potential on resale if xyz of work was done. She would budget that in to the listing price to make sure we did not go over our budget. I would recommend Morgan to a friend or family member looking to buy a home in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything!

 

– TAYLOR ZAK

From our first introductory call, Morgan was a wealth on information

From our first introductory call, Morgan was a wealth on information on buying a co-op and I would never have made it through the process without her guidance.  Morgan is much more than the average realtor that I have dealt with in the past.  She is truly a Subject Matter Expert and should be your first and only call for assistance in buying or selling.

 

– SUSAN BELLO

When we found our home, she did her job, our attorney’s and the listing broker’s.

Morgan is as good an agent as I’ve ever had and I’ve purchased a lot of houses. She was very patient, very observant and adapted quickly to show us homes that met our needs as buyers. When we found our home, she did her job, our attorney’s and the listing broker’s. Without  Morgan, the deal would not have come together and because of Morgan we got a great price (tens  of thousands below the lender’s appraisal).

 

– GARRETT WILLIAMS

I always felt like she educated me

Morgan was always perfectly attentive, pleasant, exceedingly communicative and organized. She made my first time buying a home as easy as it could be! And I always felt like she educated me where appropriate and took as much time as needed to make sure I understood all of the details. I cannot thank you enough, Morgan!

 

– ERIC CADY

Morgan is top-notch all around.

After months of a fruitless housing search, we realized we were in a very competitive market for buyers, so we interviewed three highly accomplished agents. Morgan stood out for her experience, expertise, pleasant demeanor and clear willingness to work hard as our advocate in a tough market. She got us under contract with a house we love in just two weeks’ time.

Morgan is top-notch all around. She made sure we were one of the first people to see the property we wanted, she negotiated with the sellers to accept our offer and cancel all other scheduled showings, and she helped work out a contract with very favorable terms for us. Beyond the transaction itself, Morgan has a wealth of data and information about real estate generally and Chicago’s market specifically. And she has great recommendations for all the other professionals and contractors one needs during a housing purchase.

Perhaps best of all, Morgan is a truly exceptional communicator. She’s always super-clear and incredibly prompt with all of her communications.

Morgan Sage came well recommended by attorney.

Morgan Sage came well recommended by attorney. Very professional and easy to work with. Accommodated our difficult schedules frequently and did well at explaining foreign concepts to us

 

– MARLON BOHORQUEZ

Morgan stuck with us through multiple offers and helped us find a place that fit all of our needs!

Morgan was excellent! Her response rates were incredible, and she was very patient in working with both myself and my parents throughout the entire course of this purchase. I fully trusted her input when it came to making offers, and was very happy with our final selection.

Huge thank you to Morgan and team. I know that we were not the easiest clients, but Morgan stuck with us through multiple offers and helped us find a place that fit all of our needs!

 

– MERI ADLER

Morgan is simply the best around

Morgan is simply the best around. I can’t imagine that anyone other than her would’ve got us the result that we were after. I would use Morgan again in a heartbeat.

 

– CIARAN P MAHER

Experienced realtor we have ever known

Morgan is the most professional and experienced realtor we have ever known.

 

– SCOTT MITCHELL

If there’s one word to describe Morgan, that word is “exceptional”.

I had an excellent experience buying my first condo with Morgan Sage. At first we were nervous, but Morgan was more than helpful. She was able to show us several condos in our price range and was very knowledgeable about the area and the housing market in general. She made herself available any time I needed her, whether it was through a phone call or meeting me at a property.

Also, she helped us connect with an attorney and lender, both of whom were extremely helpful. If there’s one word to describe Morgan, that word is “exceptional”.

Thank you to Morgan and team.

 

– SAFET KOKOTOVIC

We will continue to use Morgan in the future.

Morgan is great at what she does.  She is very knowledgeable of the market and takes great care in understanding her clients and showing just what they are looking for in neighborhood and budget.  This is the second time we have used Morgan to purchase a home we also worked with her to sell the first property she helped us purchase.  We will continue to use Morgan in the future.

 

– JENNIFER COURTNEY

This is our second purchase with Morgan, and I would only do business with Morgan

Morgan is a wonderful agent. She cares for her clients. She is easy to communicate with and she understands my needs. She is knowledgeable and I always look up to her for an advice. This is our second purchase with Morgan. I would only do business with Morgan. We have recommended her to our friends, and they had wonderful experiences as well.

 

– OLGA & ALEX SOREANU

Morgan was the only Realtor that called me back

Morgan was awesome. I first found her on Realtor.com. I reached out and inquired about a property she had listed. I had reached out to several realtors on the Realtor.com app and Morgan was the only one that contacted me back. I thought I was going to be restricted to purchasing an FHA home due to a past foreclosure, but Morgan and her team put me in touch with a great lender that was able to get me into my dream home.  It was nice to have Morgan as my only point of contact. Kept communication streamlined and made my experience feel very personal.

 

– ALEXIA BESBEKOS

Morgan saved me so much time and effort

Morgan carefully considered all the things that were important for me and took time upfront to understand exactly what I wanted. Then she did the legwork of looking and only took me to places she knew I would like. It saved me so much time and effort. I always felt I was looking at the short list and knew she had done the hard work. Morgan showed me the place I bought on the first day but she told me she knew I wasn’t ready to buy just yet. She patiently showed me more so I could reach the comfort zone and buy. I recommend Morgan highly!!

 

– SHELLI HEIL

Morgan always made me feel like I was her only client

Morgan Sage goes above and beyond any other realtor to ensure that you find the house that you are looking for. She has an amazing team that also is there at the drop of a dime to educate, assist, and research. Morgan always made me feel that I was her only client and that she personally cared to find us our perfect dream home. She is passionate and extremely knowledgeable. I can’t thank her enough for all of her hard work. Morgan is beyond excellent and a pleasure to work with!

 

– JAMIE HAMICK

Morgan is very professional and easy to work with

Morgan Sage came well recommended by our attorney. Morgan is very professional and easy to work with. She accommodated our difficult schedules frequently and did well at explaining foreign concepts to us.

Morgan was there every step of the way and is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and professional

As a first-time homeowner, the process sometimes was overwhelming. Morgan was there every step of the way and is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and professional. Morgan maintained excellent communication and was always available to answer questions. She made the process a lot less stressful.

 

– MELODY AIELLO

A complicated process simplified…

Morgan was a great asset in navigating the home-buying process. As a first time buyer I had a lot of questions, and she had all the answers – even to questions I did not even know to ask! She really felt like a partner throughout. Morgan was able to see what I was looking for and offer the best matches. I doubt I would have been able to find as great a place without her vast knowledge, experience and friendly demeanor. I look forward to working with Morgan again, and will absolutely recommend her to friends.

– JOHN SCHROEDER

Morgan was a true professional from the very beginning

We had worked with other realtors in the past and were usually disappointed. Morgan on the other hand was a true professional from the very beginning. Morgan had tremendous knowledge of the Chicago condo market. She knew nearly every home on every street. Morgan sent us relevant properties to view and was always happy to take us out on short notice and in bad weather to see the units. She never tried to push us to buy a place just so she could close a deal. She wanted to make sure we were in love with a place before we would purchase. I could always tell when meeting with Morgan at a showing that Morgan knew the business better than the other agent. The best attribute Morgan has is her responsiveness. I can be a nervous client and she was always there to answer my questions and explain so that I completely understood. We are very happy because Morgan helped us find and purchase our dream home. There were about 20 other potential buyers competing, but Morgan knew how to get the job done. If you need a top-level agent who looks out for your best interests I would go directly to Morgan Sage. She’s the best.

 

– ANDREW WEISBURG

Morgan is pleasant and makes a stressful experience as fun as possible

As first-time home buyers, we had much to learn about the process surrounding buying a home. Morgan took the time to detail the process for us and was helpful every step of the way. She was flexible with our schedule, organizing multiple showings, and was always accessible to answer our questions. Her knowledge of multiple areas of Chicago was also helpful as we looked in several areas before deciding on where to set roots. She was patient when we looked at everything from high-rises to townhomes in the West Loop to Lincoln Park. Not to mention, she is pleasant and makes a stressful experience as fun as possible. Morgan gave us an honest opinion on the properties we viewed and the home’s true worth in the current market. We have referred several friends her way and will continue to recommend Morgan to our friends and acquaintances without reservations.

– DR. TREVOR ROBISON & DR. RACHEL GLICK

Morgan makes herself very accessible to her clients

As first-time home buyers, Morgan helped introduce us to the world of real estate and spent a lot of time explaining the whole process of purchasing a home (not to mention patiently answering the dozens of questions we had). She makes herself very accessible to her clients and didn’t mind that we wanted to be aggressive about house hunting in order to find a home as quickly as possible. We viewed about 20 homes and were able to find a fantastic house in about 2 weeks. I would recommend Morgan to anyone who wants an Agent who is very pleasant to work with, who does her “homework” in order to show her clients homes that meet their needs, while at the same time staying within their price-point. Thanks, Morgan.

‌- JESSICA TOWNSEND & CRAIG BUSHOR

I recommend Morgan to everyone I can

It’s not every day you work with someone who delivers what they promise to you…and then some! The first day I met with Morgan I signed a contract with her – the confidence she had in her abilities left me no doubt that she was the right person to work with. This was my first time buying in the city, and she was very diligent in questioning me about how I liked to live, what my priorities were, and then matched my needs to the best neighborhoods and condos for me.

While most people are skeptical that realtors are only “out to get the sale price higher so they get a bigger commission”, Morgan guided me to make an offer even below what I was expecting to make which proved she was looking out for my best interests first and foremost. When the negotiations with the sellers got a little heated, she remained extremely pleasant and professional with the selling agent. Throughout the entire process, it was clear how much she valued her integrity and her client relationship with me.

As long as I live in Chicago, I will without question always work with Morgan. I recommend her to everyone I can – I only wish I knew more people!! She is a true professional, but also a great person who made the entire process a lot of fun. Thank you Morgan!

– SANDY FORD

We knew we were in good hands with Morgan

From beginning to end we knew we were in good hands with Morgan. Our first meeting included a binder full of information on what to expect in our selling and buying of a house. We have found Morgan to be very sensitive to our needs and concerns, working diligently on our behalf, attending to so many details over and above her line of duty. Tom and I have told many of friends about how honest and resourceful Morgan was to our journey in finding the right home. We know we have found a good real estate agent as well as a friend in Morgan Sage. Thanks Morgan for being with us and helping us find the right house!!!!!!
 
Cindy McCullough and Tom Klapp

Morgan is patient and understanding

Morgan and I spent over a year looking for just the right place for me to move to. She was patient and understanding, listening to my long list of wants and needs, and helped me look at each place while taking all my requirements into account. Morgan explained each step of the process in detail and helped me to feel comfortable when I made my final decision. Thank you Morgan!

 

– STEPHANIE SPETTER

Always the consummate professional…

As a first-time home buyer, it was imperative to find an agent that had a strong grasp of the current real estate landscape. Morgan made sure to take me through each step in the home buying process without missing a detail.

Morgan was meticulous in her search for a property that would provide the best fit for me. After carefully listening to what I wanted in a condo, Morgan made sure to show me only the properties that exactly fit the parameters I had set forth.

Always the consumate professional, Morgan met with me at times that were most convinent for me and made sure to provide her undivided attention during our meetings.

Morgan’s instincts, strong work ethic and knowledge of the metropolitan area make her a great choice for those looking to buy or sell in Chicago. Not only am I very happy with the home I chose, but I am glad that I selected Morgan Sage to represent me in my search for a property.

– EDUARDO CARLOS

Morgan made our purchase a most delightful experience

We want to thank you again for your great work in helping us find the perfect place in the city. Your patience, honesty, good humor, and professionalism were just what we needed as we searched for our high-rise heaven. Of course, we knew from the time you “adopted” us that weekend we came to Chicago looking for a rental that you would make sure we got just what we were looking for once we decided to buy. It was obvious from the beginning that your knowledge of the city and market conditions was exceptional and we certainly benefited just as much from your recommendations for a mortgage broker, attorney, and a designer.

Now that the rehab work is almost done, Pam and I can appreciate even more the effort you made that helped us come to the right decision. We value your friendship and truly appreciate both you and your team. It goes without saying that you made this purchase a most delightful experience. Hope to see you soon.

– PAM AND RICK KAZEE

I am now a happy homeowner. Thanks Morgan!

I worked with Morgan twice within this last year of moving to Chicago. First to rent, then to buy, and in both cases she more than delivered! She was there from beginning to end and even followed up after the process was complete, holding my hand all the way. She would point out what to look for and what to look out for, generate area cost comparisons, check the history of a property, and even do all the legwork dealing with other agents. However, more than anything else she did was find me a home, even after exhausting all available options. I am not sure if other REALTOR®s are sharp enough to know to tweak some of the variables (assessments, taxes, even location a block away), but Morgan did and as a result I am now a happy homeowner. Thanks Morgan!

– ADAM WEISKIND

I look forward to working with Morgan again

As a first-time home buyer it was important to me to find a real-estate agent with a firm knowledge of the current real estate market coupled with the patience to work slowly through each step with me so that I fully grasped exactly what was occurring in the process. Additionally, with my hectic work travel schedule I needed someone who was able to work with me at opportune times and willing to do a lot of the preparation work for me. Morgan fit all of these categories and more.

In our first meeting Morgan and I discussed specifically what I was looking for in a condo and she made sure to ask the right probing questions to more fully understand exactly what was important to me. After our initial meeting Morgan made sure to provide me with a list of properties that fit my specific needs. She provided me with a few properties which we looked at over the course of two days and as a follow-up Morgan prepared a comparative analysis of the properties we walked through. Being able to look at the properties conveniently in a spreadsheet made it easy for me to see what properties had which features and allowed me to make an educated decision in just two weeks after we met (while I had been looking on my own for two months prior).

Additionally, I utilized Morgan’s network of professional affiliates – mortgage broker, real estate attorney, home inspector, etc.. – and found them all to be extremely professional and easy to work with as well. Not having to concern myself with going out and finding these individuals on my own relieved a lot of pressure during a stressful time.

I look forward to working with Morgan again when I sell/buy additional properties in the future. She is a consummate professional and was a joy to work with. Seeing  how she was so spectacular to work with I‘m even planning on asking her for remodeling advice so that when I sell my current condo I am able to maximize my profits.

Thanks for the great work Morgan!

The easiest and most enjoyable transaction

During my 37 years as a homeowner, I have bought and sold many residences. I can honestly say that dealing with Morgan made this last purchase the easiest and most enjoyable transaction of them all.
I was an out of state buyer and very eager to find a condo in Chicago. Morgan very graciously did a lot of work for me before we reached the “action” stage of the process, helping me learn about the Chicago market in general and several neighborhoods specifically. With her positive and proactive personality, Morgan searched out information for me that I didn’t even know I needed, and I was amazed and delighted to have a great property under contract less than 3 days after arriving in Chicago.
Morgan is very good at asking the right questions, and more importantly listening to the answers in order to find the perfect home for each individual. In all aspects of the process, she was professional and prepared, as well as friendly and personable and very comfortable to work with. This was truly a stress-free transaction for me.
Working with Morgan was not only a joy, but also very successful for me. I feel very lucky to have had her knowledge and guidance along the way to my wonderful new home in Chicago.

Morgan Sage had answers!

As first-time home buyers, we were full of questions….Morgan Sage had answers! Morgan was able to filter through the vast inventory in the Chicago real estate market and was able to hone in on those listings that were a good match for us. She walked us through the entire home-buying process in detail and helped us liaise with the builder’s agent and attorney. She was easy to reach and prompt in responding to our requests and questions. Our closing process had its hiccups, however, Morgan recommended a fabulous lawyer and together they handled a time sensitive situation with professionalism. Morgan was wonderful to work with and we appreciate her efforts very much!

– VIK & VIJAYA RAO

Morgan was there to make sure everything went smoothly

Morgan Sage has helped us complete our first real estate transaction. As an agent, she was a diligent and very thorough researcher, always providing us with precise and timely information.

She seemed to anticipate our market questions, which was helpful in our evaluation process. One of the most refreshing aspects of our process was that Morgan never pressured us to buy. We felt relaxed and at ease discussing the pros and cons of the many properties we visited. Morgan also walked us through the purchasing process making sure nothing was left to chance. From the offer to closing, Morgan was there to make sure everything went smoothly, and it did. Thanks Morgan!”

– ANDREW KUCHARSKI

I will use Morgan Sage as my Realtor!

My name is Dave Cremer, I have moved six times in the last ten years, and I can say without question that Morgan Sage has been the best Realtor I have ever worked with. She was very responsive to me, accommodated my schedule as I was transferring to Chicago from out of state, and she listened to my needs and worked with me to find a great loft in the city.

Morgan went above and beyond the call of duty as she drove to the condo to physically walk through the parking garage and put much thought into what parking space would be most convenient for me to pull in and out of.

Morgan worked for me, and listened to what I was looking for, then applied her knowledge of the Chicago market to fit all my requests for the right loft. She also returns phone calls promptly and was a lot of fun to work with.

When I move again, I will use Morgan Sage as my Realtor!

– DAVE CREMER

Morgan is the best champion for her clients

Morgan has assisted me in both renting and buying modes. What impresses me most is her commitment to her clients. It doesn’t matter whether you are buying or renting or how much money the transaction represents; she gives her best service at all times and under all conditions. Her knowledge of listings, combined with her uncanny ability to listen and understand one’s needs, leads her to connect you with the appropriate property quickly. She is the ultimate property matchmaker!

Her prompt communications alleviate much of the stress that often accompanies looking for a new home. Her attention to the smallest of details is unparalleled. No request is too difficult; no question is too trivial; Morgan gets it done! She goes the “extra mile”, is knowledgeable in all facets of her trade and is the best champion for her clients. I truly admire Morgan’s competence as a Realtor. You will be doing yourself the biggest favor if you let her represent you.

I think the best compliment I can give Morgan is she was my Realtor, but now she’s my friend.

My decision of hiring Morgan was easy

I’ve known Morgan professionally for 10+ years so when it came time to buying property, my decision of hiring a realtor was easy. I gave Morgan my condo “nice to have” list and within days we were looking at property that matched my specifications. I eventually narrowed down my search and Morgan made the opening bid based on the market and other property sales in the area. We countered back and forth with the sellers that day but in the end, I was not willing to meet their “rock-bottom” price….Morgan and I decided to walk away from the deal despite the fact I REALLY liked this property. Unbeknownst to me, Morgan wrote the sellers a very tactful, well thought out letter explaining why I was the best buyer for their place. Within 14 hours of sending her letter, Morgan had successfully re-negotiated a price and the contract was signed! Needless to say, without her je ne sais quoi for negotiation I would not be in my fabulous condo – thank you Morgan!

Morgan made it easy and found me the perfect home

As a young single woman, I knew nothing about real estate, taxes, insurance, mortgage, or any of the dozens of important factors that goes into buying a home. Morgan Sage took me under her wing and guided me through every step of my purchase from search to close.

I feel blessed to have randomly picked up Morgan’s mailer. Before we even met, I gave her all my criteria for my new apartment (I had very specific requirements for my new home) as well as a budget I needed to work with. When I actually saw what properties were on the market for my budget, I wasn’t sure I was going to find a place that had all I was looking for. However, Morgan found the perfect place and despite my hesitance, she insisted we go see it. She was right! It ended up being my dream apartment in every way.

Without Morgan’s contacts, I would have never found the right mortgage broker or attorney. As a team, they ended up going almost $200 a month under the budget I had provided! I was so thrilled Morgan put me in the hands of people who are as hard working as she is. With the property being in short sale, there were a lot of hoops to jump through. Morgan made it look easy. She knew I wanted to move in before the New Year so she made a deal which may have taken several months to close happen in a fraction of the time.

Morgan worked so hard for me. Without her as my Realtor, I would not be living in my own home. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future and will defiantly insist her to anyone looking to buy a home.

Morgan patiently helped us find a place we now call home

We would highly recommend Morgan for all of your real estate needs. We happened upon Morgan when we were looking to rent a place as we moved from California to Chicago. When it came time to buy, we immediately thought of her again. She is incredibly professional and organized, and she is very knowledgeable about the real estate market.

As first-time home buyers Morgan walked us through the process from beginning to end, and we always felt we could contact her with any questions or concerns. Morgan has a great network of contacts (lawyers, contractors, inspectors, etc.) that she referred us to as we got further into the process, which was really helpful and made the process so much less stressful. What we appreciated most about Morgan was her honestly. She diligently researched properties that we liked and helped us think through the pros and cons of buying based on her careful analysis and real estate knowledge. We never felt pressured to buy; instead, Morgan patiently helped us find a place we now call home. Thanks Morgan!

We always felt Morgan worked with our best interests in mind

We can’t recommend Morgan highly enough. As first time home buyers, Morgan took us through the process from beginning to end with great thoroughness, patience, and most of all a sense of humor. We always felt Morgan worked with our best interests in mind. She was easy to get a hold of and was very flexible to working with our schedule. Her assistants and contacts are also top notch. We know when it comes time to sell our home we will look to work with Morgan again and would recommend her to anyone we know going through the same process.

Morgan Sage advised me at every step along the way

I was very lucky to find Morgan Sage as a realtor. Her knowledge goes so far beyond the norm of what one would expect from most real estate agents. I was greatly surprised and impressed by her intellect and expertise totally concentrated and focused on her profession. She guided me through the entire process of buying the condo that I wanted; informing me of every detail and advised me at every step along the way. I couldn’t figure out how she had so much time to devote only to me– but I’m sure that all her clients got the same devotion that I did.

Morgan knew what I could afford and kept putting in lower bids on the condo until it was mine. Morgan is a great professional; honest, trustworthy and reliable. She also has a great sense of humor and took any negativity I had with great charm and good humor!

It was great that she also has a network of professionals (mortgage people, lawyers, construction workers, etc.) that she could refer me to for help. And I do love the charts I get by email detailing the real estate market in my area. I will definitely be working with Morgan on any future real estate transactions that come up in my life!

Morgan and her team were extremely patient and worked hard until I found exactly what I was looking for

As a first time home buyer I would have been lost without Morgan. She patiently walked me through all the steps in the home buying process, and even put me in contact with a terrific lawyer and finance person. Morgan and her team were extremely patient and worked hard until I found exactly what I was looking for. It was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be back when it’s time to sell/buy in the future.
