| In the very slow, depressing, tough real estate market of Chicago high rise apartments in 2011, the Ballis Team worked tirelessly to promote our property. Advertising was professional & constant. After all showings with other realtors & potential buyers feedback was sought and acted upon. The Contract Agreement process was a harsh ordeal but Elizabeth helped us face the reality of the current market. Closing was very smooth thanks to the professional knowledge and team effort of Deborah and Elizabeth. |

| Elizabeth & Deborah are the best of the best when it comes to realtors. They are professional, experienced and they know the market. Both are dedicated advocates for their clients. You can rest easy knowing that both of these hardworking women will do all they can to obtain the best outcome for you, whether that be in the sale of your home or the purchase of a new home. |

It was serendipity that we met Elizabeth at a friend's party! Little did we know we would be working together years later to move into Chicago.
Elizabeth is an incredible Real Estate Agent - hard working, positive, a great negotiator, sensitive to her clients needs and always full of energy. She has a strong knowledge of the market and is privy to word of mouth transactions. We could tell other agents respected her and enjoyed working with her. Now we are friends and neighbors! |

| Elizabeth & Deborah Ballis were both excellent to work with - very attentive & hard working. They always made time to answer questions & help with neccesary resources (legal, inspection, etc). We would highly recommend the Ballis Group to anyone buying and/or selling property. Thanks for everything! |

We have bought and sold at least 8 homes in the last 30 years and I can honestly say that Elizabeth Ballis is one of the best realtors we have had the pleasure to work with. She is totally professional, dedicated to our search & selling requirements and amazingly responsive. In essence - she inspires confidence.
We had Elizabeth sell one home a few years ago & her seriously dedicated work to get a difficult deal to close is why we hired her to buy & now sell again. |

| We had a great experience with Elizabeth Ballis, and the rest of Elizabeth's team. They worked tirelessly to show our place to as many buyers & realtors as possible, and they had many creative ideas to get people in the door and interested. This market is not easy to sell, but we did it and couldn't have done it without Elizabeth and her team. |

| Elizabeth and her team sold our house in just three weeks in a terrible economic climate and as many of our neighbor's homes sat vacant for months. They brought in a number of interested buyers, working tirelessly to get a mix of people to view our home. They also went above and beyond to help us get our home ready for sale and then to maintain it when it was on the market. I don't think we could have had as much success with anyone else. |

| "Elizabeth Ballis has been my family's real estate broker for almost 20 years. She has worked not only for my husband and me, but also my parents, helping us with all our personal real estate transactions. When we were looking for a new home, she was tireless in finding places that might be right. When we were selling our home, her advice on pricing it appropriately was invaluable. She works hard to find buyers. We have no doubt that she has our best interests at heart. On top of all that, she is extremely knowledgeable and pleasant, not high pressure or condescending, as some brokers might be. I am a real estate lawyer myself, so I've seen all kinds. I can't imagine using anyone else. I highly recommend her." |

| She listened and understood exactly what was important to us. She was well aware of the market. Incredibly responsive - anytime we had a question she quickly responded. We felt we had a strong ally who was totally invested in our welfare. Elizabeth was even full engaged and worked through her vacation time. We would recommend her highly to our family and friends. |

| Over the years, we have turned to Elizabeth for all of our reale state needs. She has helped us sstage and sell our home in a tough economy, buy in a complex, challenging negotiation, and coached us on some additional sales/properties along the way. It was our extreme pleasure to work with Elizabeth and I can't think of a more thorough, professional, committed, and savvy agent to have on my side. Elizabeth has a lifetime committment from my family. She's the best! |

Elizabeth Ballis, her faithful Marilyn and staff, are A++ in every arena of the real estate world. They have many resources and have a gift of connecting the need, the problem, with an answer, a solution. Elizabeth is a master at intuiting the exact moment a client needs a practical assist or an emotional "there, there". Coldwell Banker is lucky to have her on their team. |

| Even before Elizabeth helped us complete the sale of our home at 1845 N. Mohawk St. in Lincoln Park, we were already telling people that if they ever were to sell their homes they should not consider calling anyone except Elizabeth Ballis! From "day one" Elizabeth makes her clients feel that nothing is more important to her than making sure they get the best outcome and result that they are hoping for, and her expertise and kindness prove to be a complete comfort and reassurance when it's needed the most! |

| Elizabeth came recommended to me from an old client that had worked with her many years ago. I knew that after my first initial visit w/Elizabeth that she was the right realtor to assist me in selling my unit. She was professional, courteous and had done much research on not only the area but the other units that were for sale in the building. Elizabeth did a great marketing campaign on the unit and worked well with all of the applicable parties (i.e. building manager, doormen, etc.) She kept me updated on each showing that occurred as well. With the economy & housing market being as difficult as it currently is this year Elizabeth amazed me by selling my condo in under 90 days. It was amazing! It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth Ballis and I look forward to using her again in the future. |

| Over the many years we have bought and sold numerous homes. In each location we have looked for a "best of class" broker. We have been fortunate to have several. Elizabeth, however, set a new standard - a partnership the likes of which we had not experienced previously. We expected someone to listen to our wants and needs and show us options. Elizabeth went so much further. She helped us crystalize the pros and cons, better evaluate our criteria, and then, much to our surprise, was an outstanding, ongoing partner. Not only was she there throughout our negotiations, but after the deal stayed with us throughout a very lengthy, and at times complex, two year build out - even to the point of keeping us advised on local issues after closure. She is not just an outstanding broker who knows. She truly is a partner. That's rare. That's extremely valuable. She is one of a kind. |

| We have dealt with Elizabeth for approximately five years and have always found her to be attentive, understanding, responsive, professional and honest. When our children were looking for a Chicago residence we recommended Elizabeth. All of us are very satisfied and happy with her experienced guidance. |
