We are always so humbled to hear the wonderful things that our clients have to say about us and we wanted to take the opportunity to share a few of our reviews with our followers.
“We recently used Michelle Duffy with Quaid and Rooney for our sale and purchase! They were an amazing team that helped us not only navigate the selling process with multiple offers, but they helped us find our dream home! Forever grateful for their work, attention to details and expertise in the field!!!” ~ Zillow
“Jane Hootman recently helped my wife and I purchase our first home. We are absolutely thrilled with the experience. She provided terrific local expertise, identified homes and areas for us to target, and generally guided us through the process. She assuaged our natural concerns as first time home buyers and was a delight to work with. We recommend Jane to the utmost degree!. ~ Zillow
“I am delighted to share my exceptional experience working with Kathy and Maureen over the past eight years. Their unwavering dedication and professionalism have been instrumental in both purchasing our first home and, most recently, selling it within an impressive three-week timeframe at our asking price. From the moment we decided to sell, Kathy and Maureen provided invaluable assistance, guiding us through each step with personalized attention and expertise. Their personable approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Even our corgi, Daisy, couldn’t contain her excitement whenever Kathy visited our home! Our journey didn’t end there. With the support of Brian from Quaid and Rooney, we successfully closed on our new home in the Chicago suburbs. This collaborative effort showcased the true meaning of teamwork and commitment to client satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathy and Maureen to anyone seeking dedicated and personable real estate professionals. Their exceptional service and genuine care have made a lasting impact on our family’s journey.” ~Zillow

A quiet pastoral setting on over an acre of manicured grounds, this architecturally correct 4-bedroom, 4.1 bath Wheaton home, is a neo-classical work of art! Inspired by the homeowner, a Wheaton history aficionado and craftsman, this beauty combines historical details from a series of houses surrounding the Chicago Golf Club, designed by noted architect Jarvis Hunt the nephew of famed Richard Morris Hunt of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. The goal was to create a new house that looked as if it were built at the turn to the 19th century. This masterpiece incorporates many architectural pieces, some from historically significant and prominent Wheaton homes. Manufactured reproduction items were also carefully sourced such as custom milled woodwork, cabinetry and doors, solid brass hardware, push-button light switches, authentic register covers, garage doors made to look like carriage doors, historical paint colors and authentic wallpapers including William Morris reproductions. The wood casings, base and crown, taken from a vintage design was custom milled out of poplar by Paxton Lumber. Every window, hand built in Oregon by Bergerson Windows is made from western red cedar, which will never deteriorate and features a weight and pulley system. The main entry welcomes with the cherry staircase by Adams Stair, ascending three stories has carved rosettes and beading...also seen in other Hunt homes. Ahead to the gracious formal dining room or the formal living room to the right, you'll find elegant and perfected detailing including the hand painted mural, period lighting and more.
