It took over a year of looking to find our new house and we could not be happier. Throughout the process they were patient and listened to our feedback. We never felt pressured or stressed. > > When they then represented us selling our previous house, it was truly white glove service. They made the process easy for us and achieved a sale price above our expectations. **★★★★★ — David S, Sept. 2023** > Dave and Amy were truly outstanding for our home sale! They thoroughly explained the selling process, were attentive to all of our needs and kept us informed every step of the way. They were not pushy in any way during the negotiations and ensured we were comfortable with the process as we progressed. They are also incredibly personable and just all around great to work with! Highly recommend! David and Megan S. **★★★★★ — Adam Rosenblum, July 2023** > My wife and I recently worked with Dave and Amy to buy our home in the north suburbs. Their market knowledge, dedication, and friendly approach made our home-buying experience seamless. We purchased our home from across the country and were extremely impressed with their communication and ability to help us remotely via FaceTime and detailed videos for remote showings. > > Dave and Amy truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to find the perfect home. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a property! **★★★★★ — HU-295989613, Jan. 2023** > I’ve met and worked with a number of different agents since moving to the area, but Dave and Amy are unparalleled. They recently handled the sale of my old home and the purchase of my new one, and both transactions went off without a hitch. > > Dave and Amy are approachable, professional, and always available to answer questions. I never felt an ounce of pressure to settle for anything less than I was comfortable with, and I will always be grateful that they helped me find my dream home. If you want a dependable, trustworthy team in your corner, they’re it. **★★★★★ — HU-967405837, Dec. 2022** > My husband and I were extremely impressed with the service that we received from Dave and Amy to sell our home. They made the entire process feel seamless. Their marketing, communication, knowledge and attention to detail was second to none. They were truly the reason our house was able to sell so fast in a tough market. **★★★★★ — HU-825084444, June 2022** > We began working with Dave & Amy a few months before listing and selling our home. They took a detailed walk-through of our home and provided practical advice on getting it ready to sell and had suggestions on how to complement our furnishings with staging. Just before the listing went live, their staging support, cleaning crew and photos/video team made our house look great! Throughout the process, they demonstrated deep knowledge of the North Shore market. Plus, their communication with us was excellent and they were great stewards during the negotiation and the closing process. It’s also worth noting that they accompanied prospective buyers at every showing. We had a great experience and recommend Dave & Amy. **★★★★★ — Sophia Jackman, May 2022** > We recently worked with Dave & Amy on relocating back to the Chicagoland area from Michigan. With such a highly competitive market and really low inventory we weren't sure what to expect. Gratefully, with their guidance and expertise, what could have been a very negative and unsatisfying experience was actually quite positive and expeditious! They anticipated our needs, did helpful research and ultimately helped us find a wonderful home within budget in one weekend. I can't imagine working with a stronger team! Their warmth and commitment made the whole experience quite enjoyable. Thanks Dave & Amy! **★★★★★ — HU-490949123, April 2022** > We would highly recommend Dave and his team to anyone looking for a home in the Illinois area. We had a great experience with him as our realtor and found him professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. He patiently showed us many homes taking into consideration our needs and any specifications we gave him. He would thoroughly search for homes that he thought would be of interest to us and fit our budget. He provided his expert and honest opinion to keep us informed. We appreciate his honesty and integrity and believe that he is definitely a credit to profession. **★★★★★ — marikogueringer, Jan. 2022** > It was an absolute pleasure working with Dave Chung and his team at Compass Real Estate. We recently moved from out of state and he diligently and patiently guided us through various Northern Chicago neighborhoods, providing us with constructive advice on locations and home values. Dave quickly responded to our questions and concerns that were easily understood. We would highly recommend this amazing team and would absolutely use them again. **★★★★★ — HU-573584977, Nov. 2021** > We had the pleasure of working with Dave Chung to support our move to Evanston IL. Moving to a new city while living in another area (Boston MA) can be challenging but Dave went above and beyond to help us seek, evaluate, and eventually purchase our soon-to-be home. Virtual tours and FaceTimes replaced in-person visits to properties on offer. He guided us to other professionals who worked in concert with him to provide legal services and help us to get a mortgage. Our limited time in the Evanston area since the start of our search was managed professionally and, we think, helped him to hone in on the right properties on which to focus. > > Once we decided to make an offer, Dave helped us to understand the process, with specific details on buying property in Illinois, and to make the right offer. While our first attempt was unsuccessful, a very common outcome in this competitive real estate market, we later determined that the winning bid was less than ours which, to us, indicated a cash offer as we had no property to sell as a contingency and had been pre-approved for a mortgage. Our next attempt was successful and again Dave helped us price our offer competitively without, we believe, overpaying for our property. We look forward to many years in our new home and owe Dave and his team our thanks. **★★★★★ — Cristen Forrester, Nov. 2021** > Dave and Amy knew we had very specific criteria for a new home, and they worked diligently to find us our perfect fit, then to position us to successfully sell. This was our 7th move and easily our best experience. Dave and Amy are the most professional, knowledgeable, and prepared realtors with whom we have ever worked. Their advice is realistic and constructive, and in the current fast paced market with supply chain crimps hampering projects, their deep knowledge of resources and service providers, (and willingness to assist) was a life saver. Since we were out of state and country for much of the time we were buying and selling, Dave and Amy’s responsiveness to all communications, ability to meet contractors, and attention to every detail kept us on track for two successful closings. Dave and Amy truly went above and beyond all expectations and were a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — kysagami, Oct. 2021** > In a word, Dave and Amy exemplify service. We are so happy to have worked with them for our recent home sale. They are extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and in-tune from both a business standpoint and a people standpoint. From their initial walk-through of our home, to their detailed presentation regarding market analysis, to their gorgeous staging, photography, and videography, to their flexible handling of showings, and general kindness during a stressful time, we felt like top tier clients - even though we were selling a starter home. Where some realtors tend to focus on problem areas and challenges, Dave and Amy are keenly aware of the emotions surrounding a sale or purchase of this magnitude and keep everything positive, going above and beyond in all aspects of the path to closing. We appreciated their upbeat attitude, grace, candor, and advice every step of the way. We truly enjoyed getting to know them! We would work with them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a collaborative, high-touch partnership for their transaction. ## Selected projects - [Fuller + Sheridan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fuller-sheridan-pj-vj~5849933) - Location: Winnetka, IL - Photos: 32 - [2017 Listings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2017-listings-pj-vj~2393878) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 4 - [2016 Listings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2016-listings-pj-vj~2115823) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 9 - [Chestnut](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chestnut-pj-vj~2267353) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 21 - Description: When we found this beautiful 1922 Sears Alhambra it had been stripped of all its charm in favor of an 1980's modern aesthetic.
