Candy Infelise of Realtopia Real Estate - Licensed Real Estate Broker in Illinois and Indiana

 "I'm a lifelong resident of the southwest suburbs of Chicago. GO WHITE SOX! I have three beautiful daughters that keep me on my toes and make me the multi-tasking, go-getter that I am!  In my free time, I enjoy serving my community by volunteering at the local domestic violence shelter, granting wishes for Make -A-Wish Illinois, serving as a committee member for my local school district, volunteering in the classroom, leading girl scout meetings and events and helping wherever possible."     "Licensed Real Estate Broker in Illinois and Indiana, I love finding my clients the perfect home, in the perfect location. There's nothing more rewarding to me than helping a client reach their real estate goals! I know that home buying and selling is both exciting and nerve wracking.  So, I am here to make the process as effortless and painless as possible.  I am eager to make your real estate dreams a reality!"  I had to move to California in the middle me selling my place. Even though Candy took time out of her scedual to show up places in Illinois, it just ain't work out that way. She made selling a property out of state a breeze. Above and beyond making sure the property was ready for viewings. And after 3 deals the fell though, she made the 4th count. Killed the negation and handled last minute issues. Couldn't of worked out better. When it comes time to by a place in California I going to fly her out to be my realtor. Where do I even begin? We worked with Candy to purchase our home and she has far exceeded the expectations we had for a real estate agent. She truly set the bar high for the profession. Candy was attentive to our needs and understood our very specific requirements for the home. She was very prompt in setting up our showings and also knew all the pertinent information about the houses she showed us and was able to point out the things we might have otherwise overlooked. She valued our time (or lack there of) and showed us the house that we purchased at 8:30pm and even brought me an extra flashlight!! She then went back and walked through by herself the next day, in the daylight. Who does that? Oh, a person who values your time and your crazy work schedule does that! She pointed out important specifics around the houses as she walked us through them. She even told us to insulate one of the outside pipes before it starts freezing! (Candy, I did insulate it today. Thank you!). She was encouraging, responsive and very friendly. She responded to all of our emails, calls and texts. She calmed our frayed nerves and remained cool and collected through this very stressful (for us, anyway) process. She was very reassuring when the pressure was getting high and was able to remain calm and absorb a lot of that stress for us. Let me also make sure to mention that Candy has AMAZING negotiation skills. She knows the market, she knows the trends and she knows her job very well. She again stayed determined throughout the process and made sure that we got the best deal. We will continue to work with Candy to sell our existing home. We highly and wholeheartedly recommend Candy's services. You will not be disappointed and you will get what you are looking for or she will not rest. She is truly one of a kind. Thank you, Candy! Candy recently helped my husband and I with a rental property!  She was extremely responsive and worked hard, in a short period of time, to find us a rental property that suited our needs!  I would highly recommend Candy for ALL of your real estate needs as she's truly a professional and, best of all, she loves what she does and takes her job and her clients seriously!  She is our new real estate expert when the need arises again!!  THANK YOU Candy for all you did for us!!!   Candy was recommended as a buyer agent and from the very start, I felt comfortable with her. She is a very organized person and a very hard worker. She took me to countless houses for about a month and was very willing to arrange for me to see several houses a few times. She offered opinions about the condition of houses and also an opinion about the starting bid for the house I purchased. She made my house search fun and far less nerve wracking than I had expected. I recommend her highly.  "Candy was everything we need in an agent...She was Available, knowledgeable, and accommodating""Candy was everything we need in an agent...She was Available, knowledgeable, and accommodating""Candy was everything we need in an agent...She was Available, knowledgeable, and accommodating" "Buying a house, especially with a new baby, felt so stressful until we started working with Candy. Immediately she made us comfortable; she not only listened to us vent our frustration with houses, but found solutions and spent countless hours searching for houses in several neighborhoods while working with our specific list and budget. She was punctual, determined, professional—and she never missed or rescheduled a showing. She offered her experienced opinion when necessary and waited patiently while we scoured each house for flaws. She knew what she was talking about when it came to legality, taxes, and even home repairs. She was realistic but also suggested homes we wouldn’t have found otherwise. She went to bat and negotiated like a boss. She definitely knows what she’s doing and it shows—and she genuinely cares for her clients well-being and safety in a home. The process was actually fun, which I would have never imagined. She got us a great deal, but the most important is that she was kind when we panicked and kind when we were feeling overwhelmed. Without her we wouldn’t have the house of our dreams. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to be my realtor." We bought & sold our homes with Candy Smith. She helped us tremendously! Very knowledgeable and patient to find the right home for us. It was a super stressful process to do both at the same time but she kept us sane all the way through!

Candy has been awesome helping us buy a house. In this this market she didn't make us feel pressured after looking at a lot of houses and no success. She had multiple connections to help me save lots of money on my mortgage, inspections, as well as insurance. She was very helpful in every step of the way when signing all the required documents for buying a house. She's an all around real estate Rockstar!!! We're using her again to sell our current condo, as well as many more times to come. Thank you so much for everything Candy.

Candy went above and beyond the call of duty and helped us to find our dream home. She is knowledgeable on every aspect of selling/buying homes and her experience was valuable. I will be recommending Candy to my colleagues who are in the market for exclusive properties.

Candy was amazingly responsive, helpful, fun and kind as well as knowledgeable and she helped us negotiate as well (which we are not particularly good at). I would choose to work with her again and again!
