Success Stories
"Helen is a superstar. Her deep experience and knowledge of every step of the process helped us to feel secure that we were in the best hands. She was two steps ahead in every part of the process, especially when dealing with underwriters and attorney… s, which we don’t do every day.
Where Helen really stood apart was in showing our home in the best possible light to the most qualified buyers. Her production expertise (she used to be a star actress) resulted in marketing material that was very professional and world class in its results. The drone views of the exterior and golf course were stunning and the interior shots equally as great.
Helen was also excellent at communicating throughout the entire process. She let us know immediately when showings were requested, and the feedback from the potential buyers. She also hosted multiple open houses so that potential buyers could see our beautiful home that we loved so much.

Thank you Helen!"

"Where do I begin!!! My journey started a couple years ago when I reached out to Helen about selling my home in Hawthorn Woods, at the time I wasn’t quite ready to pull the trigger, but she left the door open. Fast forward to September 2025 and there … I was ready to make the decision to sell my home. Not a moment past by where I felt I was not Helen‘s number one priority!!! She was always available, always knowledgeable, very direct and very practical! It was so refreshing because a lot of times, in this industry, agents may sugarcoat things to just get something done! I immediately became part of her family and she invested in mine. Thank you Helen for all the amazing work you did to help sell my home, before it even hit the market I might add, and helping me land my dream home in Buffalo Grove for my 4 children and I!"

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about my friend Helen and the incredible work she does as a realtor! Nine years ago, she guided me through the purchase of my first home—a beautiful condo on Bangs Lake in Wauconda, IL. As a first-time homebuyer, … I had so many questions and concerns, but she made the entire process seamless and enjoyable with her knowledge, patience, and dedication.
Fast forward to now, as my family has grown, I turned to Helen again to help us find our new home in Lake Zurich, IL. She went above and beyond to find us the perfect place in a difficult market. The new house checked everything off the list and more, and feels like home. Not only did she help with the purchase of my new residence, but she also assisted me with the rental process for the condo. She helped me secure tenants within 1 week. Her husband and business partner, Danny, is phenomenal as well and took very professional staging photos. The Oliveri's are truly such a great and hard-working family!
On top of her professionalism and expertise, Helen always adds such a personal touch. Her thoughtful housewarming gift of wine, chocolate, candles, and even a custom engraved charcuterie board was just one more example of how much she truly cares about her clients. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side through both of these major life milestones.
If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, committed, and truly invested in your happiness, I highly recommend Helen! She knows her stuff better than anyone and you will be in great hands with her and her team. She also works very closely with Attorney Lauren LoMonaco, who was such a pleasure to do business with. The loan agent, Missy Niedholdt with American Portfolio Mortgage, was also extremely helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. Her entire team works around the clock. All of her business partners were always accessible and made time to answer any questions I had.
With so many realtors flooding the market, none come close to matching Helen's expertise. Plus, she is just SO MUCH FUN to work with! You will not regret working with Helen. She is so passionate about her work, and will be about helping you too!"

"My wife and I were blessed to have the Helen Oliveri team navigate us towards first-time home ownership. Our Buyer's Agent, Katie Haruska, was the advocate you want in your corner. Katie's years of real estate insight showed during negotiations and a… ny questions we came across.
With this team, we felt comfortable on every chapter of home buying. Katie handled our proposed offer, attorney review and closing process flawlessly. Helen has fostered a distinguished business environment."

"After 55 years in our family home, my father decided to move to the city and we chose Helen Oliveri as our realtor.
She and her team were very knowledgable and fantastic to deal with, and we especially liked that she put a sign on his lawn with a … 'coming soon' on top to alert people that it was about to be listed.
We had 50 showings in the first weekend which resulted in many offers!
Helen was very responsive and knowledgeable about helping us sort through them and we closed the deal quickly.
We highly recommend Helen and her team"

"When we recently decided to buy a house in the NW suburbs, we had already seen several of Helen Oliveri's signs at several available homes and reached out to her to help us with our search.
We had a very friendly, embracing welcome by Helen and he… r team! She was perfectly organized and gave us a detailed overview of the buying process, our and her roles and as a result, there were no surprises!
Her prepared contract was clear and easy to understand, set up a fair framework, and gave us great accessibility to her and her team.
In a buyer's market, speed is essential and her team was extremely agile, providing very fast access to any objects which fit our profile that we were interested in.
Helen's knowledge of the market and the actual value of individual objects provided the critical background for our bidding strategy which resulted in a successful outcome - we got the house we wanted! Also, the previous owner informed us that our offer was very close to those of others, but was still the best. This feedback underscored that Helen gave us great advice on the amount to offer.
We had a wonderful experience working with Helen and her team (shout out to Katie Haruska too!) and we can fully recommend her for any real estate activities in our area. FIVE STARS!"

"Seamless Home Selling and Buying Experience with Helen Oliveri!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Helen Oliveri as my realtor for both selling my previous home and purchasing a new one in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois. Helen's expertise, prof… essionalism, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
When it came to selling my home, Helen's strategic approach and market knowledge resulted in a quick sale at a great price. She provided valuable insights on staging, pricing, and marketing, which undoubtedly contributed to the success of the sale.
On the buying side, Helen listened attentively to my preferences and worked tirelessly to find properties that matched my criteria. Her patience, attention to detail, and negotiation skills were instrumental in securing my new dream home in Hawthorn Woods.
Throughout both transactions, Helen was always available to answer any questions and address any concerns I had. Her responsiveness and proactive communication ensured that I felt supported and informed every step of the way.
Thanks to Helen's expertise and guidance, I successfully sold my home and found a new one that I absolutely love. I cannot recommend Helen Oliveri highly enough to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor in the Hawthorn Woods area. Thank you, Helen, for your exceptional service!"

"Helen and her team were great to work with through out my search for a house. They were patient as I looked at a range of properties to narrow down what exactly it was that I was looking for and helped pull things together when I did find the house I… was interested in. Assistance was provided throughout the period from when the offer was accepted until closing, which helped make that process run smooth."
