Garvey Residential Team, Brokered By EXP Realty
Working from home, homeschooling your children, or just busy with meetings all day? GrtHomes.com is interactive and you can share homes you "Like" with your friends and family, make and share comments privately and ask me questions about homes and neighborhood amenities. Watching my children grow and learn with their first friends, experience the parks, the activities in the schools, and want in life, I recognize the gift I was given.

It truly dawned on me what a beautiful environment it is to be born in and then go on and raise my family here in Oak Park and River Forest. When my grandfather decided to buy a house in Oak Park, to bring my father here, it was purposeful and it was to raise him with this idea that people from all over the world would come here and create a place like no other.

When looking for a home, Chris and Caroline provided such a wonderful experience. They are super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Chris especially was always available and flexible with last minute home viewings. Not to mention he is extremely honest and I always felt like I could trust him. He helped me find my dream condo! Thank you both!

I had a great experience with Chris Garvey as a buyer in Oak Park. He was not interested in simply making a sale, and really appeared to love showing different places and pointing out the good and the bad. The entire experience, from house hunting through closing, was great. He was always on top of communication, and we were never in the dark about anything. More, everything he told us to expect was accurate. My wife and I highly recommend to anyone searching for a new home and real estate agent.

By chance, I was connected with Chris after an inquiry via Zillow, and what a fortunate thing that was. I was new to the Oak Park area, and Chris was hands down the most knowledgeable agent I'd spoken with in my house hunt to that point. The home finding / buying process with Chris was fantastic. He was always available for viewings and he quickly got to know my situation and what I was looking for. He would then tailor his recommendations based in that. Once we found the right place, he did an amazing job on the offer and negotiation, ensuring we got the best deal on our condo.
I can't recommend

Chris Garvey is FANTASTIC!
After employing him for both a sale of a condo in Oak Park, a purchase of a three-story home in Forest Park, and the sale of two condos in Evanston, Illinois, we can’t say enough wonderful things about him! He and his Team hit a grand slam every single time! We kept hiring him because he’s the right guy for the job!
He absolutely loves what he does. He loves his communities. He takes the care, the time, and the resources needed for each task involved in the process, and he pays the attention to detail that is necessary to get the sale and/or purchase done right

As first time home buyers my husband and I didn't know anything about real estate agents (or even mortgages for that matter), but wow did Chris make the process so painless and fun! He really listened to what my husband and I were interested in, never rushed us, and was so on top of everything all the time it was just a great experience. He found us our perfect home and I am so thankful we were able to get it :)

I was extremely happy with the work Chris did while I went through the buying and selling process. Chris handled both sides of our deals. He sold the house we lived in and found the house we bought.
He was always very on top of things. What I like to refer to as mentally well organized. He made me feel like I was his only client when we worked together. (Obviously, he couldn't make a living if that were true.) But, it was his memory of what I liked, didn't like, the purchase price I was looking towards, on and on that made me feel that my needs for both the sale and the purchase were important

Chris is absolutely the best! We bought and sold a house using his team, after a year passed he was still there for me helping me to solve random things and supporting in other requests! His service goes away beyond the post sale...
