Can't say enough good things about Ryan and the team at Starting Point Realty. We just closed on our home in Arlington Heights after looking for about 4 months. Ryan... read more helped us to get familiar with the northwest suburbs and more importantly he helped us zero-in on what was really important to us as a family. Without his guidance we would have overlooked this older home, but in the end the location and great neighborhood won us over. I really appreciated how flexible Ryan was given that we have young twins. He was very transparent and gave us candid feedback along the way. The home buying process is always tough, but we'd gladly work with him again.

  We wanted to send a thank you note for the good work Nir Patel did for the purchase of our first family Condominium, in Schaumburg Illinois.

She did a great job... read more in all aspects of the transactions. She stayed on the top of communication with all the parties that were involved, and she was honest, ethical & was loaded with great advices. She was easygoing with all our multiple questions & was more interested in helping us to find the perfect Condominium in minimum time ensuring that all our needs are fulfilled. We are glad that we took a best step by choosing her as our real estate agent. It was so much pleasure to work with her. Thank you so much for a job well done.

  Ryan and his team made a stressful experience as smooth as we could ever ask for. He always made time for us and he is not the type of realtor... read more that will try to sell you a house, but he is more interested in helping us find the perfect home. During the whole process, he always called to check on us to make sure all of our needs were met. Ryan is the best.

  Ryan and team are best in the business. He takes care of you as if you were his only client. Super professional, focuses on educating his buyers throughout the process.... read more He goes above and beyond to make sure stuff gets done and taken care of.

  Ryan and all the staff at StartingPoint were tremendously helpful for when my wife and I were making our first venture into making the decision to purchasing our first home.... read more They were both helpful and quick to react while been calm and rationale. Whether looking for your first home or moving on to something different and better, consider StartingPoint!

  Ryan was fantastic to work with. My wife and I attended a first time homebuyers seminar and decided to go with StartingPoint when we were making our first home purchase.... read more Ryan was great at walking us through everything. We were fully supported along the process and he answered every question we had along the way. Would definitely recommend you look into using them if you are buying or selling a home.

  Selling a house is a very stressful experience especially if you don't live in the same city. We chose Starting point realty based on their promise to help us out... read more with the entire process while we were remote. We worked closely with Ryan and Terry. They guided us at every step and never pressured us to accept any offers.
Both were truly amazing and delivered beyond our expectations. Special thanks to Terry as he helped us with the home upgrades, dealt with contractors, kept us in the loop, provided pictures and even took care of moving our stuff to the storage. He went above and beyond his responsibility and took care of our house as if it were his own. We sold it within 2 days of going live!! If you are looking for a real estate agent, look no further. This team rocks!!

  I live out of state and had read on Yelp that Ryan Gable's Starting Point Realty in Illinois handled out-of-state home sales.  Since the house I needed to sell was... read more in Illinois and I was not, I asked for his help.

He handled the matter personally and didn't brush me off to one of his other agents/staff.  He knew people who could do anything from major refurbishment, to minor handy-man items, to cleaners, to movers who could remove remaining house contents, to attorneys available for closing, and to a lady (Alicia Pearson) who could supervise them all while packing up the house to ship items to me or to leave them until removal.  The only thing I had to do was make the decisions about what stayed and what went, which I did after spending a week in the home.

Also, Ryan gave me gentle reality checks about current market prices and took me around my neighborhood so I could compare similar houses up for sale:  ie: he was able to prove what he said.   He made practical suggestions, giving valid reasons for certain house-showing suggestions and price- and item-negotiating tactics.  I had the sense of total comfort leaving my personal keys and my home's contents in his and Ms. Pearson's hands.  I got not a whiff of any ethical issues, etc.

So I highly recommend Ryan Gable and his Starting Point Realty company to people who wish to sell in the Chicago and the surrounding NW suburban area.  He does a good job.

  The best buying and selling experience ever!
StartingPoint Realty is a complete full service realtor that goes above and beyond what's expected. Ryan Gable and his staff are super human!! Always... read more in contact with following up and follow through. Putting out any fires that popped up along the way. Even when on vacation, Ryan was in constant contact with me. After we found a house he set us up with an outstanding attorney and home inspector. Any issues that came up, he was on it! Even when there were no issues, he always checked. After we found a house he listed my condo.  I followed his recommendations before he had his photographer take amazing pictures for the listing.  We went live late in the day on a Friday and by Sunday we had 6 bids! By Monday, we stopped showings.  He sold my Condo for the highest price ever paid in my complex for a unit my size with really no upgrades.  There are not enough words to express how grateful we are to Ryan Gable,  his staff , Nina, Terry and others who really delivered. These people are the real deal. StartingPoint is my RealEstate company for  life!!  Thank you Ryan!!

  I had a great experience with Diane. I was looking for something near McHenry, on a tight budget, and I was buying a house for the first time by myself.... read more Pretty scary but I dove in and she referred me to both an excellent mortgage broker and real estate attorney. Oh, and the inspector and radon test guy, too! She answered my questions day and night. I did a lot of my searching online and once I had a list of possibilities to look at, we found a great little house in short order! I like Diane because she is very down-to-earth, unlike some snooty, pushy Realtors I've known. I felt like I had a wonderful team working for me and they made the process very easy.

  Anyone can find luck once.  We have worked with Ryan and the StartingPoint Realty team three times now and have been delighted every time.  Selling our condo during a pandemic... read more was unfortunate timing.  Ryan and the team were relentless with keeping us informed, doing as many open houses as they could and making sure our home was well positioned to sell.  Once we had a buyer, they went the extra mile to help us close in nine business days.  Another job well done.  Thank you!

  My husband and I worked with Ryan and his team to purchase our first home. We'll absolutely work with them again when we buy our next home! Ryan was extremely... read more down to earth (which was very important to us), personable, and knowledgeable. He educated us on the home buying process, and made it feel much less overwhelming. He also very much took his time with us - we never felt he was just looking to make a sale. I didn't think the house hunting process would be fun, but it was - Ryan made each outing enjoyable. We also worked with Diane and Terry, who were just as great and helpful. I even texted Ryan with a question, a couple months after closing on our home, and he called right away - to check in on us and thoroughly answer my question. I would recommend Ryan and the Starting Point team to anyone!

  Ryan Gable was a fantastic agent. My wife and I first met him at one of his home buying seminars in 2019 and he kept in touch ever since. When... read more we started our home search in fall 2020 Ryan was an easy choice. Ever since then he has always advised us along the way and was never pushy or tried to steer us in a certain direction. Above all, he listens to what you want and helped us make a great decision. I would highly recommend Ryan to all.

  As an out-of-state owner, I have come to realize how important it is to recruit a Realtor who is more hands-on through and willing to communicate/update me through the process.... read more Ryan was not only willing to provide the local knowledge/contacts he has accumulated over the years but was willing to coordinate all the repairs that needed to be done prior to listing. My family tried to sell our house a few times before and it just sat on the market, which was a frustrating experience for everyone. But with Ryan and Starting Point Realty, the experience was much different and were able to get the home sold in a very reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend Ryan and his team to anyone selling their home from out of town.

  Ryan and his team were extremely ethical, hard working, and measured in their work with us as we navigated the home buying process. Purchasing a home in this market was... read more very challenging, and Ryan and his team handled our offers-both declined and accepted-with noticeable care and commitment to us. It felt like we were working with well-informed friends to find and purchase our first home, and we certainly recommend Starting Point and their partners to any future buyers!

  Terry was so easy to work with. Very responsive and affable. There are realtors galore, he was a referral and we were pleased and happy to work with him.

  We cannot say enough great things about Ryan and Starting Point Realty! If you are looking for a real estate agency, STOP and call them ASAP! Ryan and his team... read more were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, kind and understanding from start to finish. What should have been the most stressful event in our lives turned into a fun and exciting experience because of Ryan. We are so thankful and appreciative of Starting Point and will absolutely be working with them in the future!

  We worked with Nina buying our first home in Chicago and I can't imagine a better experience! She was so knowledgeable and available to answer all of our questions. We... read more worked with her recommended attorney and inspector and loved working with them as well. Would encourage my friends to work with her if they're looking to buy in Chicago.

We also had a great experience working with Terry on one of our inspections.

  Ryan and his team were a pleasure to work with in helping me sell my father's house in Rolling Meadows.  He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate,... read more especially in setting the best selling price, in staging the home for sale, and in working through all the details of the closing process.  Ryan was very accessible, and he helped me make the right decisions at each stage of the sales process.  I've worked with many real estate agents over the years, buying and selling nine houses, but Ryan was the best!  Professional, courteous, prompt, and always compassionate and willing to help with my challenges as executor of my father's estate.  I highly recommend Ryan and his team at StartingPoint Realty.

  Starting Point Realty's Ryan Gable was just what we needed to move my mother from her townhouse into senior living. He was knowledgeable, kind and beyond accommodating, particularly as we... read more lived out of town.
