Testimonials

Experience makes the difference!

Here is what some of our clients say about how we serve them!

“Thank you Jean and Lloyd for your tireless efforts on our behalf. Listing our house with you was an easy decision because of your reputation in the community and because we know you know Carillon. You were available at all hours to connect with us in this process and you guided us through the entire event. I would especially like to thank you for not just listing our home but also for having a good support team to assist in other elements of this experience. Your entire team helped us meet our deadline and made a long distance move much easier. I would be pleased to recommend the Lundberg’s to anyone considering selling and to anyone considering Carillon as their new community. ”

“Within six months, our father and uncle (dad’s brother) passed away. My parents were original owners in Carillon (Buckingham)and my uncle soon moved into (Berkshire) a few years later. I remember both of them telling me, when it’s time, we want the Lundberg’s to sell our homes. Both dad and his brother highly respected Jean and Lloyd and after our first meeting, it was clear to me why. The Lundberg’s are not just realtors. They are professional, supportive, and most importantly caring individuals. I had the enormous responsibility, as executor for both, to sell each property. Jean and Lloyd were sympathetic to our loss and made this process a pleasure, rather than a burden. We had contracts on both places in under 8 days. Amazing!!!! As part of this process, we were introduced to Jean and Lloyd’s team; professional and talented people who help to make home improvements, sell and move unwanted furniture and household items, and make things spic and span. I can’t thank them enough. If you’re looking to sell or buy, I can also now, with great pleasure, recommend the Lundberg team, as my dad and uncle did.” -Shannon Family
“Jean and Lloyd Lundberg, along with their incredible team, were invaluable in helping us prep and sell our parents’ home. This was part of two estates, with two different executors. They have competent, capable people who assisted us with emptying the home and doing all necessary maintenance and repair, all at fair prices quoted before the work was done. Since none of us live close by, Jean and Lloyd oversaw everything to be sure the house was ready to be put on the market. Their market assessment was thorough and well researched. They kept us in the loop throughout the process, then did everything necessary to facilitate the closing process. I honestly do not know how we would have completed this transaction without them.”
“Lloyd & Jean are wonderful. I would recommend them to everyone that is looking to buy or sell a home. They were very adamant on finding the right tenant for us and even with a couple of prospective tenants that didn’t work out, they worked very hard to find us the right people and they did. Jean cares very much in pairing up the right people. When we had a couple of people bow out, she took it hard. She thought either of them would be good tenants and she didn’t understand what had happened.” -Carol Howell
“Working with Ms. Jean And Lloyd was extremely pleasant. They actually treated me as if I called on them to personnel work for me in getting me into my condo. They treated me very nicely and work proficiently with working out all needs in regard to giving information required per the lease. They also took the time to show me every aspect of the facilities within the unit and the club house along with introducing me to a few live in personnel within the community. Once the agreement was honored, they set a pleasant meeting up me and my landlord that was easy and organized to finalize all paperwork required. Ms. Jean then gave me a list identifying all utility contacts making it easy for me to transition from another state into my new residency.” -F. Richard
I would highly recommend Jean and Lloyd Lundberg when selling or looking for a house as they were AWESOME. They went above and beyond in helping me with the sale of my Coach Home. They are professionals that go the extra mile to get you what you want. They keep you informed each and everyday on the progress of your Sale. There knowledge of the Real Estate business is impeccable and they are genuine people, which is really hard to find in today’s world.
“Jean and Lloyd Lundberg are the best real estate agents I have ever had. They guided me every step of the way through the process of selling my home and were always available to answer my questions. They are a lovely couple and were a pleasure to work with.” -W. Gibson
Dear Lloyd and Jean,

Thank you very much for all your efforts in assisting us with the listing and sale of our parent’s home (Philip and Marilyn Rosso). Your expertise in knowing market values, knowing the location, your contacts with repair personnel, lawyers, etc. made the emotional task of selling our parent’s home less daunting.

You used every available resource to market our parent’s home and kept us informed every step of the way with updates on new listings, closings, price changes, comments from realtors and prospective buyers.

We can’t thank you enough for your involvement and availability in coordinating the home inspection, radon testing, carpet cleaning, repairs, etc. It would have been extremely difficult for my sister or I to take time away from our jobs to make the appointments and provide accessibility to the house. You went above the call of duty and we sincerely appreciate your commitment in doing all you could to assist us.

We would highly recommend your services to anyone needing a realtor who produces outstanding customer service and results!

Thank you again for all your efforts.

Dear Jean & Lloyd,

The road was bumpy and had its strange twists, but thanks in a large part to your efforts, the journey had a successful ending. Looking back, who could have predicted that we would have not one but two viable offers. When the first one fell through due to my inexperience in comprehending the entire situation, you kept me informed through your excellent articles and enlightening analysis of the Carillon market.

Then you enticed the second offer to be made. You made most of the situation that our house was being shown three times that day and once the next day. After our buyers had looked at the house for fifteen minutes, they made an offer. The rest is history; history with a lot of questions and concerns. And who was there to shed some light on unclear path? YOU were. When I couldn’t even get answers from my attorney, you called the buyer’s realtor and obtained some valuable information.

Wanda and I appreciate having had you as our realtors. We value you as outstanding professional business partners, but even more than that. We value you as true friends.

Your invitation to a dinner after the closing unfortunately could not be accepted because of our timetable in driving to Champaign. But we thank you for the gift certificates to the Olive Garden and the bottle of champaign. When we use them we will drink a toast to you.

Be sure to drop in a and see us if you are ever down this way.

With best wishes,

Ed & Wanda
Dear Lloyd and Jean,

I’m finally settled in my apartment and I now realize I am delinquent in thanking you for your efforts in selling my home in Carillon. Prior to contacting you for your services, my home had been on the market for 2 1/2 years. I tried to keep up with the market trends by watching your report in the local monthly flyer, and I had little input from my former realtor. My daughters and I felt it was time for a change in brokers and you were recommended by several people (and brokers) my daughters contacted. (All of my daughters had held RE Sales licenses in the past.)

We were impressed by your knowledge of the Carillon Market, and were particularly impressed with the tour you gave us of homes similar to mine that were our sale competition. This was particularly helpful in establishing a sale price.

It certainly didn’t take long for you get a reasonable offer on my home and for me to come to a satisfactory resolution with the prospective buyer. Again, I thank you for your successful efforts on my behalf.

Sincerely, Jim Paul
Received your Happy New Year newsletter and copy of our sales contract. We were certainly blessed to have such a prompt sale at such a fine price! We know that the blessing was, in large part, due to our having you as our realtors!

Here in Florida we have few opportunities to recommend your services, but we certainly don’t hesitate to do so when we can. Our friends and family in and around Carillon know how delighted we were with your help.

We are so happy that you did well in 2010 and wish you the very best in 2011! J. & S. H.
Thank you for your outstanding service, and attention to detail, while marketing and selling my mothers’s townhouse in Carillon. You were always straight forward in your communication and kept us well informed of changes in the market. Your help with extras, like the thermostat and the dishwasher check, were really appreciated, especially since we’re out of state. Your advice and recommendations of service people were very helpful and cost saving too.

I would gladly recommend you to anyone considering your services. As a Realtor myself, I have learned from your example of courtesy and communication, and plan to upgrade my business accordingly.

Thanks again, and have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

Sincerely,

E. B.
We would like very much to express our heart felt thanks for all your help and care you gave us. You showed us the houses we wanted to see at a time convenient to us. As we were going thru the narrowing down process you were again patient. We were impressed with your numbers list from attornies to inspecters and utility transfer instructions. This is why we would be happy to recommend you and it is easy to see why you are Remax sales team leaders.

We also thank you for dinner flowers and Champaign we will try the drink later. You both have conducted yourselfs with dignity and friendship.. THANK YOU

With the greatest respect

We want to thank both of you for all the time and effort you put into selling Al’s townhouse. You made us feel that we were very important to you. We appreciate the fact that you kept us informed every step of the way. You, also, followed thru with information. So many Realtors do not do those things.

With all you’ve done for us, we feel like true friends.

Again, thank you so much.

“You both did a fantastic job in promoting the sale of the townhouse, especially during this time when real estate is not selling very well. You provided good advice about how to best present the townhouse for a showing. You were involved continually from the moment I signed the listing contract until the final closing. You promoted the property through newspaper advertisements as well as Internet newsletters. You were dedicated to showing the property as well as following up with those who had looked at it. You were constantly communicating to me about showings and offering encouragement. In spite of a dismal housing market, you were upbeat and enthusiastic. I was pleased that you checked on the property when I was unable to be there. I wholeheartedly recommend both of you to anyone wishing to sell their property. Your dedication to selling the property was the reason for its successful sale.”

“I want to thank you for all your efforts that resulted in the sale of my Carillon townhouse. I tried to sell the townhouse on my own, before giving you the listing. In spite of local ads and posting a “For Sale” notice on the carillon Club House ulletin board, I only received one prospective inquiry, which only proved the futility of not taking advantage of professional assistance.
It’s possible my townhouse could still be unsold because of the nation wide housing situation. Without all your advertising in the “Talk Of The Town” Carillon newsletter, local ads, and MLS listing, plus numerous showings, your persistent endeavors resulted in this sale, which was completed February 28, 2008.
Your constant contact by phone, mail, and email, informing me of prospective showings, your great assistance in obtaining handyman services to correct the minor problems that were stated in the house inspection report, and your follow-up on the water meter final reading are services above and beyond what I expected.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for a job well done. I hope all your future sales in 2008 go as smoothly as this one. Your slogan: “2008 will be great” is very appropriate. I wish you a very successful year in 2008.

“It is difficult to find the words to express the care, expertise and professionalism you extended from our very first meeting through our closing. Ken & I offer our heartfelt thanks to you both for all the advice and guidance you provided every step of the way. Our every concern or question was addressed and answered promptly. We have and will continue to recommend you to all interested in buying or selling property. Looking forward to remaining friends.

“On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being our Realtors in the sale of my grandparent’s home. It was an honor and a privilege to have you represent our family. I knew from the start of our first meeting we were in great hands. After all, you recently sold my sister Sharon’s home in one day. Now I know why you came so highly recommended. Your reputation does precede you.
I really do appreciate it that you were able to come to my work place to present and sign the listing contract. It sure is nice to see that someone still makes house calls in this day and age. Now that’s personal service. Your presentation was very professional and well organized. I never felt rushed or pressured, but cared for. I was really impressed with how well prepared you were for our meeting. How many hours did you spend working on your presentation? I bet you stayed up all night working on it? For that I say thank you.
When it came to marketing our property! You really delivered. The day after our meeting I received a call from my cousin Tom. He called to tell me our property was already listed on the internet. A few days after that, I saw our property listed in the Remax ad in the newspaper. You really do what you say you are going to do, and it worked. Within a few days you had a steady stream of showings, and lots of activity. We were all very impressed with your marketing. Especially the end result! You sold our property in a short period of time and we received a great price.
Jean, your update calls were very much appreciated. Thank you for keeping us in the loop. You kept us informed with positive information. We knew you and Lloyd were loyal and working hard for us. We knew you would sell our property, and you did.
Thank you for being so assessable. It was great working with someone who answers their phone, and doesn’t hide behind voice mail and emails. You were always there to answer our questions and concerns. We never felt alone or neglected.
If not for NICE FOLKS like you, Remax would not be the organization it is. You are truly an asset to your company. You are both professional and really do care about your customers. The business world needs more people like you. Keep up the good work. 1 will gladly recommend your services in the future.”

“Thanks so much for your hard work and professionalism in selling our home in Carillon. The way you priced it, promoted it and helped negotiate the contract added up to a good price and a quick close. Thanks for making this process so painless and productive. If we know of anyone buying or selling in the area we’ll be sure to recommend you.”
J.R..
“…you are both such “can do” folks and so good at what you do. In my case, I know that you were 24/7 on my behalf which I also know was about the only thing that kept me sane as the weeks dragged by. … I feel that no team could have done more. …My thanks to you both for your many efforts and kindnesses. With the real estate situation as it is, I feel lucky to have gotten relocated when I did. Your help and work made that possible.”
E.M.
“…marketing and networking tools used by the Lundbergs were exceptional. The pictures of our home on the internet and local advertising were quite accurate and attractive. They updated us frequently on the results of showings of our home…They also kept us informed regarding pertinent happenings in the housing marketplace.
We were most pleased with their diligence in helping us sell our home. We appreciated all their contacts and information at a time when the housing market had slowed down throughout the country. We knew how hard they were working and the extra efforts they made to successfully market our home.
We recommend Jean and Lloyd Lundberg as a hard-working, delightful couple. They will be extremely helpful to anyone who trusts them to assist with a real estate transaction.”
R.V.
“Because of the outstanding service I received from the Lundbergs several years ago selling my home, I used them again as a seller and buyer this year, too. Their marketing techniques were exceptional: website coverage, newspaper ads, feature sheets, and the talking sign ad, all add up to a quick sale at a price that really pleased me. …Constant communication calls were returned promptly. …They helped so many different ways. “Everything went very smoothly because of the Lundberg’s organizational skills.”
Why are the Lundbergs special? They really cared about me. They made me always feel very special. They were always available when I called.
They are my Realtors and FRIENDS for MY LIFE!!!! I will refer everyone I meet to them too.
GREAT JOB, Jean and Lloyd!!!”
R.P.
“We selected the Lundbergs because we have known them for years to be good, honest, hard-working and professional people. They served us effectively by the preparation of a photo spread for the website. Advise on marketing and price. Negotiation with buyers and final buyers.
Our opinion regarding the marketing of our home is…”It must have been superb. After all, there were multiple prospective buyers and our home sold quickly.”
J.H.
“We interviewed and they came across as sincere, caring & honest realtors that would be truly dedicated to selling our home. You don’t have a box for “better” than excellent so I marked the excellent box, but they were far better than excellent. They were available morning to night and weekends to meet our every need and request. When the buyers inspector tore our house apart with his inspection, Jean & Lloyd had a repair person for every problem. The buyer was satisfied with all repairs. Due to the slow housing market prior to this sale, I was the unhappy owner of two homes at the same time. The Lundbergs sold my home in record time and took a tremendous burden off my shoulders. They are truly super realtors. I am not very computer literate, but when I saw the virtual tour of our home on the internet I was truly impressed. They are honest, caring, knowledgeable, dedicated & persevering.” “The Perfect Realtors!!”
N.C.
To whom it may concern:
What can we say about the Lundbergs that has not already been said? We can think of a lot. After listing our property with another Carillon realtor, who did little if anything to sell our property for 6 months, we turned to Jean and Lloyd Lundberg for help. And help is what we got, plenty of it.
Even though they had several listings at the time, you get the feeling that they are giving you special attention in selling your property. They are honest and up-front about a realistic pricing of your property and do not tell you it is worth more than the market value just to get your listing. They are very aggressive in their advertising, with internet advertising being one of their specialties. But where did they help us the most?
Our buyer came in with a high priced inspector that tore our relatively new home of “seven years”, with seemingly no defects, apart just 10 days before the closing date. Jean and Lloyd immediately furnished us with competent professionals that addressed all the inspection problems at minimal cost to us. All of the inspection problems were corrected to the buyers’ satisfaction prior to the closing. The pressure of the last two weeks prior to closing was made bearable only by the knowledge and expertise that the Lundbergs have in Real Estate matters.
Having two mortgages, two gas bills, two electric bills, two phone bills, two Comcast bills, two association bills two water bills and many other bills associated with owning two homes for the past eight months because of a slow housing market, made life almost unbearable. Thanks to the Lundbergs for eliminating half of our bills. At our age, and having a large family and numerous friends, we don’t actively seek more friends, but I hope the Lundbergs remain our friends forever. Thank you for everything.
N. & S. C.
“It is with gratitude and complete satisfaction that we write this acknowledgement for Jean and Lloyd Lundberg (The Lundberg Team) as our Realty representatives.
Before listing our Mother’s home, we interviewed numerous realtors before choosing the Lundberg Team. Our first impression was actually correct about Jean and Lloyd. We felt this professional and hard working couple had years of valuable experience and relationships with the Carillon Community and the Chicago land area. Their Marketing Strategy was very impressive. This proved to be quite beneficial in the sale of the property during a tough real estate slump.
It was a pleasure to work with both Jean and Lloyd. Easy to talk to, easy to contact and always prompt in returning our calls and answering our questions. They went above and beyond in keeping an eye on our vacant home, contacting service contractors for minor repairs before the close. The Lundberg Team worked very hard and made it their job to MEET OUR GOALS. . . .We highly recommend the Lundberg Team.”
J and S.M.
From our first contact with the Realtors, to our closing date and our departure for Florida, Jean and Lloyd Lundberg exceeded our expectations. They kept us informed every step of the way, updated us of progress or happenings via long distance phone calls, and have become friends as well.

Dear Jean and Lloyd,

This letter is long over due and I apologize for being so slow to tell you how much we appreciate your efforts to sell Becky’s parents Carillon property. It seems like it was only a matter of days after we listed the property that market changed from a hot market to the difficult market which persists to this day.

The change in conditions made it a challenge to sell property when all the media was telling people how awful the real estate market had become. On top of that you had the challenge of working with me on the sale while keeping my father-in-law in the loop even though he was in and out of the hospital. In spite of these challenges you took extra efforts to effectively market the property.

It was especially strategic when we lowered the price that you presented to the buyer how she could now get more house for her money than another property she was considering. That was the benefit we had of dealing with the best professionals. When the conditions were tough you knew the best approaches to use to satisfy both us and the buyer.

Your ongoing assistance and support throughout the sale and closing process were wonderful. Becky and I have sold many houses over the years and the two of you made the whole process as easy and as smooth as we have ever experienced.

I know that I can speak for Becky and her mother that we are all so thankful that we chose you to be our realtors for the Carillon house. We would heartily recommend you to anyone else considering selling or buying property in the Carillon developments. We are glad that we went with the best (you two) and can’t imagine why anyone would even consider hiring the rest.

May God continue to bless you!
T.V.
