Testimonials

"We had an outstanding experience working with the Weinberg Choi team! They were incredibly flexible with scheduling showings, always accommodating our busy lives. What really stood out was their transparency—they made sure we fully understood both the positives and potential drawbacks of every house we viewed (they have former home inspectors and builders on the team to support showings). Their expertise really shined when it came to negotiating the best price for our home, and they made the entire closing process smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate team!"

"I worked with Citlali Lopez-Ortiz at Weinberg Choi to facilitate my upcoming move to Chicago from Kansas City. She went above and beyond to help me find the right apartment (even braving a snowstorm to go to showings with me), and I couldn’t be more grateful!"

"We started our home-selling journey in Lakeview, Chicago in December 2024 and closed successfully in early January 2025. Finding the best real estate agent in Chicago was a top priority, and after comparing three agents, Tommy Choi and his team at Weinberg Choi Residential stood out for their deep market expertise, strategic marketing, and data-driven approach. Even with concerns about selling during the holidays, Tommy’s strategy helped us attract buyers quickly. His team guided us through every step, from pricing and market strategy to professional staging and targeted digital marketing. They connected us with a trusted contractor to update lighting, freshen up paint, and make small improvements that truly made a difference in how our home was presented in the competitive Chicago real estate market. Their staging team also helped showcase our home in the best possible light, which helped us attract strong interest from buyers. One moment that truly stood out was when they discovered a potential leak in our laundry room after we had already moved out of state. Instead of turning it into a major issue, Tommy’s team handled everything seamlessly, coordinating the investigation, resolution, and communication with the buyers to keep the deal on track. Their proactive problem-solving and attention to detail ensured that our sale moved forward without a hitch. The results spoke for themselves. Our home sold in just one week after open houses, with multiple offers, at a price we were thrilled with. Throughout the process, Tommy and his team demonstrated an unmatched understanding of the market, a strategic approach to marketing, and a level of emotional intelligence that made us feel supported and confident. If you're looking for a top real estate team in Chicago that combines market expertise, digital marketing, and negotiation skills, look no further. Ask any agent how they use data and marketing to sell homes fast—Weinberg Choi Residential does it better than anyone. If you're selling a home in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, or anywhere in Chicago, or if you’re looking to buy in the area, we highly recommend Weinberg Choi Residential for a seamless, stress-free experience. Thinking about buying or selling a home in Chicago? Contact Tommy Choi and Weinberg Choi Residential for expert guidance, a proven marketing strategy, and results-driven real estate service."

"We had the pleasure of working with Weinberg Choi Realty on a very long and complicated home sale, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Our realtor, Tony Magnone, did an incredible job positioning and showing our property and guided us through every hurdle along the way. The team’s professionalism, patience, and understanding truly set them apart. They never rushed us, always made sure we fully understood our options, and remained calm and solutions-focused even when unexpected roadblocks came up. Their thoughtful advice and ability to navigate challenges made a stressful process so much more manageable. What impressed us most was that working with Weinberg Choi Realty felt like more than just a business transaction. Tony—and by extension the entire team—became trusted advisors and steady partners, providing not only expertise but also genuine care throughout the process. If you are looking for a brokerage that is thorough, professional, and deeply committed to their clients’ success, we wholeheartedly recommend the Weinberg Choi Realty Team!"
