Client Reviews

Jo is a reliable, professional, and hardworking realtor. We connected with Jo when starting to look at buying a home because we were feeling lost on how to begin the process.

While Jo could not be our realtor in Chicago, IL she did not hesitate to help us throughout the process from beginning to end. Jo found us a wonderful local realtor and walked us through each step on her own time. As first time home buyers, Jo explained every part of the process and was available to communicate with our realtor during key parts of the home buying process (e.g., the search, offer, inspection, and negotiation).

We are so thankful for Jo. We are now living happily in our new home thanks to her help, knowledge, and expertise. You could not go wrong with using Jo as your realtor. Jo's knowledge as a lawyer and realtor is the perfect combination when looking for the person to help you in what is both an exciting and stressful process of buying a home.

Way beyond dedication and hand holding from start to finish Berel is reliable with exceptional follow through. His positive attitude keeps the interested buyers coming. I sold my house under two months during the covid 19 crisis. Would recommend Berel to anyone interested in selling or buying

Nothing short of brilliant! In a slowing, end-of-year market, The Bienstock Group sold my property astonishingly quickly and for top dollar. Sheri is a great strategist and negotiator who knows her market from both a business and a legal angle. She and her carefully selected team were a pleasure to work with. What a positive experience! I approached the selection of an agent with a great deal of research, and considerable caution. From day one Sheri won me over with her openness, energy and enthusiasm. Even before I signed with her, she was very generous with her advice and recommendations. Sheri quickly came up with a plan to maximize my property’s potential, and a fabulous design team to execute it. During the listing Sheri was the agent for a wealth of other properties, but I always felt that I was the most important client she had at any given time. She was an active communicator, clearly explaining the options, but always leaving the decisions up to me; I never felt pressured. I especially appreciated Sheri’s frankness and integrity, and always felt comfortable with her suggestions on how she would proceed. Sheri’s pricing strategy and marketing worked exceptionally well and we had multiple offers, well over asking price, after the first open house. Sheri was the consummate negotiator; when we did encounter inevitable hiccups in the process, she was quick to come up with creative solutions. Sheri and her team frequently went above and beyond all reasonable expectations to get the job done. I know Sheri personally worked late into the night to create the MLS listing to meet my deadline. Her staff members are a credit to her. They are all professional and incredibly dedicated. Whenever I had a concern, they were unfailingly calm and respectful. I wholeheartedly recommend the Bienstock group. They merit all their accolades!

Sheri Bienstock and her team successfully rented my property in less than two weeks. They are experts in every aspect of this process. Sheri’s honesty and expertise resulted in an ideal tenant. Her team includes Raha, Esther, and Silvia. They were in contact with me multiple times a day, informing me of the progress. I felt as if I was their only client. Their attention to every detail is astounding. Even after, the rental was complete,Silvia met with a handyman and organized last minute repairs for me. I would very strongly recommend Sheri Bienstock to any client that requires the very best agent available. Sheri and her team do their job in a professional competent manner that results in perfection.

Berel was truly great to work with - he was very professional and organized, which made our first home purchase process very smooth. His diligent efforts and attention to detail is hard to find, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who knows the home buying process and market inside and out.

Thank you so much Berel for helping us find our dream home.

Can’t say enough good things. Sheri is a relentless, take-charge agent who knows her stuff. She works with a first-rate staff that takes care of most of the inevitable headaches that go with selling any property. She and her staff were organized and right on top of everything throughout the process. Our property sold very quickly thanks to Sheri’s experience and sound advice. We wound up getting an excellent all-cash, no-contingency selling price. The negotiation was difficult, but Sheri’s instincts were always right on the money. Escrow closed in two weeks. She often says she loves her job, and I believe her.

We were referred to Josephine as an agent through a family member, and it was a life saving referral through the process of buying our first house.

The market is not particularly friendly to buyers at the moment for various reasons, and as first time buyers my wife and I were hesitant to even dive into it.

But Jo helped us every step of the way. She was always responsive and got back to us quickly. She was very patient with us on multiple occasions when we became frustrated with the process and various setbacks.

Jo is definitely someone you want in your corner. She is patient and delicate, but is also very assertive and forward when needed. She will fight for you and your best interests, and do it with class and tact. In a field as "wild west" as Real Estate can be, she doesn't just hold her own, she fights to win. And win she does.

After just a couple of months of searching we found a great first home to call our own, and she fought for us to get us the best deal possible, and we came out with a great deal on a great house for my wife, our dog, and I to call home.

I highly recommend Jo to represent you in your home search.

Working with Sheri and her team is an absolute pleasure. I have listed and rented 3 units with them over the past 2 years. Each had its challenges that they handled with aplomb.

Their knowledge of the neighborhood and local service providers was immensely helpful as was feedback on improving the properties. The process of screening and lease signing couldn't have been easier.
Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Berel. We were house hunting for about 6 months and Berel was with us the whole way through the process. With his guidance we didn't settle and kept looking until we found the perfect home. in our desired location.
