See what our clients had to say about working with us…
"Kathy and Maureen were a delight to work with and really helped reduce what is a stressful event. They are extremely responsive, practical, reasonable, and honest in their assessments of what needs to be done in order to get a house on the market and ready for sale. Their professionalism and humor make them a great team to work with. They know really know the market in Glen Ellyn and the surrounding area. When we had snags and questions, they provided prompt solutions and answers. For example, what do with hauling garbage away and address buyer's concerns pertaining to inspections. My husband and I were absolutely delighted with this team's hard and tenacious work. There advise as to when to get our house on the marked was spot on. They worked with us in a very short time period to get our house ready for sale and coached us and advised us every step of the way as to what to expect during the entire process." - Alix Darrow (Zillow Review)

Willowbrook Wildlife Center is a nationally recognized wildlife rehabilitation facility that provides care and medical treatment to 10,000 sick, injured, and orphaned native wildlife each year. The aging clinic and outdoor rehabilitation area are currently undergoing a major rehab and we can’t wait for it to open!
Woodlands, wetlands, and prairies in DuPage and surrounding areas increase livability for people and wildlife, but urban development fragments larger habitats and presents hazards for wildlife (e.g. bird collisions with windows, vehicles, and power lines). This brings patients to Willowbrook on a regular basis. Read more!

Testimonial ~
"As a first time homebuyer, the process of purchasing a home can be quite overwhelming. Brian was there to support me every step of the way. He was extremely responsive and patient with all of my questions. I felt confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Brian thoroughly walked me through the home inspection and process. He is highly knowledgeable about the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area. I’d recommend Quaid and Rooney to anyone buying or selling a home in the area!”
