Kara guided us through a chaotic situation — moving cross-country with kids mid-school year to a city where we had little prior knowledge on a *very* compressed timeline — and became the calm in our storm. A native Chicagoan, Kara offered great, no-nonsense insights that cleared confusion about schools, communities, properties and processes. She accompanied us throughout the Chicagoland area for a marathon of open houses, scheduled showings, home inspections and finally our closing. When we encountered unexpected bumps along the way (home inspections matter!), Kara provided a steady presence that countered the moment in a way that we needed and appreciated and even worked a holiday weekend to keep the process moving smoothly. We largely credit Kara with creating conditions that helped us make decisions at the pace we needed and in a way that led to the purchase of our new home. We would recommend Kara to anyone looking for their new home and would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Kara!

I had a wonderful experience working with Kara. She did an outstanding job throughout the entire process and were always available, reliable, and responsive whenever I had a question or needed guidance. Communication was clear and consistent from start to finish, which made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciated her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. I would highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable real estate agent!

We had an incredible experience working with Kara to find our new home in Oak Park. From the very beginning, she was exceptionally communicative and made us feel like a priority. She truly listened to our needs, taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a home. What really set Kara apart was her deep local knowledge and professional network. She managed to find us the perfect place through her connections before it was even listed on the market! If you are looking for an agent who is proactive, attentive, and deeply plugged into the community, we cannot recommend Kara highly enough.

Kara is the best and we cannot recommend her more! Kara helped us sell our home as well as purchase our new home, and she make the whole process smooth. She guided us through everything with ease, making us feel comfortable. We trust her to help us make the right decisions and could not be happier with our choice to work with Kara and her amazing team!

Kara is a fantastic realtor! She took the time to get to know us and our home preferences, communicated promptly, and shared expertise about the Oak Park area. We appreciate her attention to detail. Kara also has excellent recommendations. We couldn’t ask for a better agent. Thanks Kara for helping us find our new home!

Kara was the person who heard all our “needs and desires”. She perfectly understood our situation initially and provided us with all the information along the way, Always being super responsive understanding every single our query or request.  Besides described above I would like to outline the level of Kara’s involvement in the process from the very beginning till the moment of signing the Lease including the help and advices during the application filing. We really felt like it is a very close friend helping us. Client - orientation of Kara can not be determined with words - it is just outstanding!

Kara was a dream to work with! She was very attentive to our quick timeline and guided us through the nerve-wracking process of home buying. She provided tons of explanation to things previous realtors had left out. She is local to where we were buying and was able to use that knowledge to help us buy a house we love.

I would tell anyone, I don’t know Corcoran, but I know Kara Finnegan. Kara represents the company well and made my first time home buying experience a positive one. I had personal concerns as a BIPOC, and her understanding of the area put my mind at ease. I knew I could trust her to assist us on more than just finding a house. She patiently provided a expert guide for us in finding our home. She was thorough and made sure we understood each detail every step of the way. I’ll recommend Corcoran because of Kara Finnegan.

Kara has helped us purchase our first home in the city. We knew the moment we started looking that we would reach out to her again. Kara not only was patient with caring with helping us find our forever home, she was diligent, responsive and thorough. She was very busy also helping us sell and rent two other properties and these qualities never suffered. Throughout the whole process her knowledge helped guide us every step of the way.
