  • "I was referred to Tracy through a close friend of mine and since the day we got connected, she was such a pleasure to work with through our apartment search! She was incredibly organized, and efficient, and was always so quick to communicate throughout the process. We provided all of our desires in an apartment and she was so quick to provide options for us - all of which fit exactly what we were looking for in the downtown Chicago Loop area. She understood our needs early on and ensured that we felt comfortable throughout every conversation with the buildings. I was also impressed with the questions she would have for the buildings, many of which I wouldn't have considered myself! If you are looking for someone who will really look out to ensure you sign a place you are truly excited about - work with Tracy!"

  • "I was referred to Tracy from a friend of mine and she was amazing! I’m pretty type A and decisive so I already knew what area I wanted to be in and even had some buildings I was interested in so I wasn’t sure if I needed the help of a realtor but boy was I wrong. Tracy made the whole process 10x easier. She was supper organized and provided a document of all the buildings she thought I might be interested in and tracked prices, pros, cons, location, and concessions that were being offered. She did all the communication with the different leasing offices and organized the showings. We ended up finding a place I love in west loop for a great deal and Tracy made the whole process fun and easy! I can’t recommend her enough."

  • "I can't say enough great things about my experience with Tracy Lai as my realtor. As a first time buyer, she was there to help me every step of the way. Tracy kept me informed with the whole process and showed nothing but kindness through it all. She kept me in budget, all the while rooting for me to not settle and in doing so I landed a place that I'm more ecstatic over. I heard of Tracy through word of mouth from some friends who have used her in the past to find rentals, and I understand why they were so eager to suggest her specifically. I'll be using her services in the future no doubt."
