"Working with Ali Wenzke was a dream! She came highly recommended to us by family friends and we began our home buying journey with her all the way from California.
We were unsure exactly where we wanted to land and Ali was incredibly kind and patient, providing us space as well as guidance. We bought in Evanston and Ali connected us with an amazing lawyer and mortgage company. It truly feels like we found an amazing agent and gained a friend along the way. Cannot recommend Ali enough!

"Ali Wenzke has been the epitome of professionalism and dedication towards her work as a real estate agent, taking care of us as relocation clients.
From the time that we placed the first phone call to meet her and every single step to help us find our dream house. We can't find words to express our gratitude. She has made this experience a smooth, stress-free transition. If you are contemplating selling your existing home, finding a new one or you are just like us- relocating, look no further and highly consider Ali Wenzke as your real estate agent!

"Ali Wenzke was our broker for both our new home purchase and existing home sale.
When selling our existing home, Ali brought a positive attitude and high energy to the process making it far less stressful. Her ability to navigate various offers through strong negotiation skills was instrumental in getting the highest price for our house. Anytime we had questions, her responsiveness was fantastic. We couldn’t recommend Ali enough! "

"Ali Wenzke was invaluable in helping us move our mom from Wilmette to her new home, close to family, but out of state.
I don’t know how we would have handled managing all the details from out of state. Ali is very sensitive to individual needs and very punctual and clear in managing communications."
