When we decided to hunt for a home, we knew we had to find the right realtor. We wanted someone who had experience, knew the market and could work with first-time home buyers. We found all of this and more with Amanda McMillan. She became a trusted advisor and led a team that included experts in real estate law, mortgages, home inspection, etc. Amanda knows just the right mix of when to apply pressure and when to hang back. For first-time home buyers who oftentimes feel like much is beyond their control, we always felt that Amanda had our best interests in mind and we know that she fought hard for us. We also came to realize that there is a lot that happens in the off-hours and behind the scenes. Amanda goes above and beyond for all of her clients. We are grateful that she was recommended to us and we strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking to either buy or sell a home, whether it’s the first time or you’ve been through the process before. Her entire team is professional and a joy to work with and they keep you on track. What’s more, she and her team really care and are with you the entire way (and beyond)! Besides a bright, experienced, successful real estate agent who is a wonderful advisor when it comes to all home matters, you also get recommendations for professionals who are vetted and you can trust, whether it comes to painters or a handyman or something in between. We feel grateful to have had the opportunity work with Amanda and that she agreed to work with us on what turned out to be a challenging process.

Amanda was recommended to us by a good friend who purchased their home in Wicker Park. They thought we'd enjoy working with her due to her data-driven approach to purchasing a home. They were not wrong. If you want an agent who goes above and beyond and gives their 200% Amanda is for you. My husband and I were looking for a new home but were unsure of what we really wanted and what was available in the city vs the suburbs. Amanda put us in contact with a suburb agent and we spent a good 8 months going back and forth with each agent learning about what each area would offer us for our budget. Amanda was patient with us as we saw a variety of properties and she really helped us understand what was possible. If we saw a home we liked (weren't ready to buy till 2020) Amanda would provide us a report with other similar properties and how much they sold for. We'd also rate our properties that we saw that day and that would help her narrow our search. Also the website to actually rate properties was one of the better ones I've used. Amanda provided us some listings that were just about to be listed and sometimes every second counts. That's how we locked in our new home. Amanda went full speed as soon as we said "we want it". Throughout the buying process she was super responsive and communicative with our lawyer and loan officer. It took some time to get to closing but we did it. We know we made the right choice for us and we love our new home and can't thank Amanda and her team enough.

Where do I begin? I have nothing short of absolute praise for Amanda. I was a first time homebuyer at the beginning of 2022, which not only was a market of slim pickings but fairly competitive. Amanda made it an educational, informed and enjoyable experience. She was excellent at guiding my thought processes of thinking through what I needed in my property, how I would live in a home, always presenting multiple options and never pressuring me into any decision making. When you get deep into your search it almost feels an extracurricular to your life, which at times can feel stressful, but when it came down to it, Amanda’s advisement always made me feel like I had someone looking out for me. I was being set up for total success! In a competitive market, there were a couple highs and lows but Amanda's general ethos is "the right home will work out." She was absolutely right. After a handful of months, I found my dream home. Even after closing on my home, she offered what felt like a rolodex of home services/maintenance teams/etc. Truly everything you can think of- she knew a guy! She delivered guidance way beyond her job description. I am so grateful I worked with Amanda and now consider her a great friend! She is a completely dedicated and thoughtful expert. I give my highest recommendation of Amanda + the Chicago Home Partner Team to anyone who is looking for a broker in Chicago!

Amanda has been my agent now for about 10 years, having worked with me on my first condo purchase, then on my second purchase and rental of my first property, and finally this spring she helped with sale of that first condo that I maintained as a rental property until it no longer made sense. In the height of COVID, my husband and I, who have been slowly looking for our forever home, decided that it was time to sell our rental unit in order to better position ourselves for that next step. Amanda was definitely up to the task, giving us sound advice both in making the decision to sell and then throughout the whole selling process. We were lucky in an interesting market to receive some quick offers, which Amanda managed so very well. With her help we were able to get a fair price for the property and close in a 30 day window.. which considering COVID was a huge win for us. Amanda is always incredibly considerate of our time and in tune with our needs. She takes the time to listen, while also providing us with useful information to help in making the decision that’s right for us. For as long as we are in Chicago, which we anticipate to be for a long time, Amanda is and will continue to be our go to agent through all our buying and selling adventures.

Amanda is absolutely wonderful at her job. Not only she is highly professional and knowledgeable, but she truly cares about making sure you find the home that you will be 100% happy with. We have been looking for our new home with her for a long time. There were times where we were considering making offers on places that we were so-so on. We asked for Amanda's input and she could have easily told us to go for one of the houses we didn't love. Instead she told us to allow her to help us find the home we would truly like, she assured us that the frustrating and long search will be worth it at the end. And she was 100% right. She helped us find our dream home and didn't mind that it took months to do so. We worked with Amanda on buying/selling three properties over the years. She has been incredible on both sides, setting up viewings, open houses, countless appointments. No matter how busy she was, we always felt that she was always available for us. There is no one else we would trust with finding the right home in the future"

We were randomly pared with Amanda when a property piqued our interest on Zillow and the listing agent required potential buyers to have representation present... boy, did we luck out. We were initially only passively looking at properties and were upfront with Amanda. Knowing where we were at in the buying process, she was still actively engaged with us and scheduled an extremely informative discovery session. She shared with us a market analysis and discussed our styles, as well as what we were seeking in a new home. Professional, responsive and transparent, she set up search parameters and we began our passive search. Through Amanda's expertise and partnership, our passive search quickly evolved into an active one, and we found the property that checked all the boxes for us. She carefully guided us through the whole process, and was a pleasure to work with. I would gladly recommend her to any friends, family, or even strangers who are on the market!

Everyone who is buying or selling a property in Chicago should only be so lucky to have Amanda as their agent/broker. As someone who was new to the Chicago market, her knowledge and expertise made her an immediate trusted advisor to me and my family. She spent the time to get to know me and my preferences so when I was getting anxious to put in offers she slowed me down and provided guidance that was invaluable. When I did finally find my current condo, which is my dream condo, there ended up being some water damage that occurred right before closing. She was always immediate to respond and provided an array of options including the pros and cons to each option. She is smart as a whip, has expert negotiation skills because she knows the market, the players and has years of experience and I could always trust her. I cannot recommend Amanda enough and will never buy or sell a home or property without her by my side.

Amanda and team are the best in Chicago! Our first interaction with her was 6 years ago when we bought our condo in Chicago. She helped us win in a multiple offer situation and ensured we won for a fair price with a very strategic maneuver. Fast forward to 2022 when we sadly needed to leave Chicago for the west coast. The move was through a relocation company, which always adds additional stress for both the seller and realtor! Amanda presented us with a TON of data...this is her super power (as well as negotiating)! She took all emotion out of the equation and leveraged more data then I've ever seen on the market in Chicago. She was strategic, thoughtful and helped us prepare for the sale of our home. Each step along the way she provided advice but never overstepped and allowed the decision to be ours. Hands down, Amanda and team are the best in the Chicago area...no hesitation in recommending to anyone!

We've known Amanda for over 8 years now and would blindly trust her expertise in the Chicago real estate market. She helped us buy our first home and then 8 years later helped us sell it when it was time for us to move on. As first time home buyers, we really appreciated that Amanda and her team struck the right balance between educating us on the Chicago market and understanding what we wanted in a home. When we finally found the perfect place, it had multiple competing bids and Amanda helped us close it by leveraging her expertise. Years later when we decided to sell the place, we knew Amanda was the best person to help us and she did not disappoint. In the current slightly down market, she helped us sell our place for 5% above asking in less than 3 weeks after listing!! Amanda is by far the best realtor we've ever worked with and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell in Chicago!

5+ Stars I would give if I could! We happen to fall into Amanda at Chicago Home Partner when we were looking for our first place....and I am glad that we did! She was very patient, understanding, and knowledgeable in our first ownership. We are not native to Chicago, and she helped us explore neighborhoods. We knew we needed to use her and her team when we were looking to sell and upgrade! I was super nervous about the whole selling process. Our building had some units that sat for longer then we wanted ours to sit. Amanda and her team know how to market your place right! We had one open house and then 4 offers that were presented to us the next day to choose from (plus over listing!!!)! I was beyond pleased! Why was I nervous on selling??? If you want a team to help in buying, selling, and anything in-between you have found them with Chicago Home Partner. I recommend them to everyone!

When I was looking to sell my condo this past August, it was a no brainer I would go back with Amanda. I say go back because five years ago I worked with Amanda as a buyer and had an amazing experience. Amanda has been great to work with. She is: Responsive: Responded to email/phone calls same day. Informative: Answered every question I had and provided answers to questions I didn’t know to ask. Proactive: Kept me in the loop and was with me every step of the way. Amanda makes sure her clients understand the process of buying or selling and she works to eliminate unexpected issues with closing. So, whether you are looking to buy or sell, you won’t be disappointed. Her professionalism, knowledge of the market, and interpersonal skills work synergistically to make her a wonderful agent for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her team is great too!

I started looking up realtors to help sell my Chicago condo and ran across positive reviews for Amanda at Chicago Home Partners on multiple sites. I called and the same day talked to Samuel, a colleague in the office. Both Amanda and Samuel were very responsive and friendly to work with. They knew my area in Chicago (Ravenswood) and gave me honest advice about the market and what I should list my condo for. They had several video calls with me, came to my condo to give me staging tips and had a great photographer come out to do photos. They were prompt to tell me about showings, and my condo had an offer for my asking price within 10 days. They helped me with the contract closing process and answered all my questions promptly. I appreciated their help and support! It was my first time selling a property and I think it was pretty smooth!

Thank you so much to Amanda and Samuel for helping us find our beautiful home in Chicago! They are the dream team. My husband and I were not only (very nervous) first time buyers, but we were also living in Iowa at the time. Amanda and Samuel were able to accommodate our travel plans/limited availability by scheduling a weekend chock full of viewings! They were so organized and dedicated, it was truly impressive. They also really know their stuff; at our very first meeting, for example, Amanda gave me a really helpful background on the housing market and the overall process. And from then on, her and Samuel answered our many, many questions with grace (and always in a timely manner). We love our house and we are so grateful to have had such an incredible team on our side.

I wouldn't work with any other real estate agent in Chicago but Amanda, or someone at her office. My husband and I both bought (10/2014) and sold (05/2017) our condo with Amanda, and the experience was great both times. She has her clients best interests at heart, asks questions that help guide them to make decisions, and provides expert advice when asked. There is nothing "cookie-cutter" about the way Amanda approaches her work. Each client is different and she takes time to get to know them. Everyone at Amanda's office and all of the referrals she provides are also amazing. We felt completely taken care of the throughout both processes. I could write paragraphs and paragraphs about why Amanda is the best in the business, but I'll stop here. She is the absolute best!

Amanda and Samuel are an all-star team! We were referred to Chicago Home Partner by a friend and we couldn't have had a greater experience. Buying a house for the first time is an incredibly daunting experience (particularly during a pandemic), but Amanda and Samuel were with us every step of the way, providing incredible and much-needed insight and answering our questions ASAP. We were able to meet with Amanda and Samuel, outline our specifications, line up some viewings and submit an accepted offer all in the matter of a few weeks. Their dedication to making sure their clients' needs are met is unparalleled. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or are looking for your 5th home, go with the pros - Chicago Home Partner!

We were introduced to Amanda through a close family friend who is a Real Estate agent. We were also considering other agents. We chose Amanda because we felt her abilities exceeded the competition, and here’s why. -She took the time to research our property, the neighborhood, and the market dynamics. -Her presentation was highly analytical, and not emotional. -We found her to be data driven, well reasoned, and efficient. During the time our property was on the market we found her to be available, involved, attentive to our needs, and a steady voice. She is stylish, seasoned, and skilled. If you are looking for a Real Estate Powerhouse, look no further. She is The Diva of Real Estate! Much appreciation, Laura and Marc

Amanda is hands-down one of the most knowledgeable, hard-working and responsive realtors in the city of Chicago. We were lucky enough to work with Amanda on the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. Our condo was accurately priced and beautifully marketed. That combo allowed for a quick (first offer within 24 hours!) and an easy sale. Her strong relationships with builders and other realtors made our purchase turn around just as easy. Her dedication to us has lasted months after our closing- as she has supported my family in working with the builder to meet our needs and follow up on contract agreements. I offer my HIGHEST recommendation for Amanda-- she is the best of the best!!

Amanda is an excellent realtor. We worked with her a few years ago to purchase a condo and sell our prior condo, and then we worked with her this year to buy and sell again. She and her team are on top of all the details and aim to make the process as easy as possible for her clients. Amanda is extremely analytical and knows the Chicago market inside out. Best of all, we trust her completely. She is an excellent negotiator and exceeded all our expectations. We adore her personally too and have come to consider her a good friend. We have referred her to several friends who have also had great experiences. We really can't say enough good things about her and her team!

Amanda is a FANTASTIC realtor! We recently used her to buy a house and the process was very smooth and easy. My husband and I seemed to have very different tastes in houses so I was worried that we wouldn't be able to find something that we wanted, but Amanda was able to find us a house that we LOVED very quickly. She really got a feel for what we were looking for, and was able to show us places that really met our needs. She was super knowledgeable throughout the purchasing process, and was very helpful in making sure we got what we needed from our inspection, etc. I would highly recommend Amanda as a realtor!! She's the best!

Choosing Amanda as our realtor (twice) was the best decision we ever made. Her market knowledge is unparalleled, her negotiation skills are stellar, and her team is the best in the business. My wife and I frequently reflect on how pleasant of an experience it was working with her and how happy we've been with the results she was able to produce when we bought, and eventually sold our home in Chicago. She's so good that you'll feel like the most savvy buyer and/or seller in the Chicago market. If we ever buy property in the city of Chicago in the future, we'll be her clients once again. You can count on it!

I've worked with Amanda and her team twice now: once before the pandemic and recently during late 2022/early 2023, and have always been impressed with them. Amanda and her team are exceptional in what they do. They have a lot of expertise, connections that help ensure smooth closings, and ultimately want to help you find the home you're looking for in Chicago. I've found showings with her to be very candid and tailored to addressing our top needs, wants, and concerns. I highly recommend Amanda, Jennifer, and everyone at Chicago Home Partner. You're in excellent hands.

I could not be more pleased, and feel more fortunate, that I chose Amanda to help me purchase my first home. She is remarkably knowledgeable about the Chicago market and has the best team to ensure a smooth process. From the initial tours to understand the characteristics of my perfect property to determining the best offer strategy once I found it (and even some design advice in between), it was a truly enjoyable experience throughout. With the support of her expertise, I felt confident being decisive in a competitive market. I highly recommend Amanda.

If you research top agents in Chicago, Amanda's name will populate most of your findings. And with good reason. She is simply the most understanding, prepared, tenacious and solution-oriented real-estate expert we have ever met. Amanda's experience, preparation and data-driven approach quite literally removes the burden from your shoulders and allows you to enjoy the home buying/selling experience. We will continue to refer our friends to Amanda, just as we were referred to her. I highly recommend working with Amanda for your next real estate need.

Amanda is one in a million! She was incredible to work with and demonstrated the upmost professionality which was extremely important to us. As first time home buyers, she really walked us through the process step by step and didn't appear annoyed by our "dumb" questions. We were so appreciative of her help! It was truly remarkable how responsive she was to us -- don't know how she does it between juggling family, personal life and other clients! We recommend her in the highest regard and are completely in love with the home she helped us purchase!

Amanda is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. My purchase in Logan Square was my third home purchase - I've bought and sold twice before and none of my prior experiences rival this one. Amanda had my back every step of the way, and even went above and beyond to visit properties on my behalf -- as I was still in Atlanta and planning my Chicago move -- during Covid. Her local knowledge as a member of the community is second to none, and her ability to find me the perfect home was a Godsend. Five stars all the way!

This was my second time working with Amanda (first as a buyer, second as a seller 10 years later), and I was just as impressed as the first time. Amanda's knowledge of the Chicago real estate market is unparalleled. I needed to sell my condo relatively quickly, and she came up with the perfect strategy to do so given the market dynamics. She and her team are very responsive and easy to work with. I recommend Amanda without hesitation to anybody looking to buy or sell property in Chicago.

My wife and I sold our condo in Logan Square in July 2022 with a 6 month old and house hunt in the suburbs. It was a stressful time, and having Amanda as our partner made all the difference in easing the anxiety and making the process as smooth as possible. Amanda was very detail oriented, data-centric, and happy to explain each decision we made as a team. We completely trusted her team to get us an offer we were happy with it. We would recommend Amanda and her team to anyone.

Amanda was simply amazing throughout our home buying process. She surpassed our expectations in every single regard. Buying a house is a stressful experience but when you have a realtor like her, it is also an enjoyable experience that you can count on ending successfully! We will never buy or sell a house in Chicago without using Amanda. I simply can't imagine someone doing a better job in that role than Amanda does. Obviously, I highly recommend Amanda McMillan.

Amanda was great from the first meeting to even after closing! Her knowledge, professionalism, and data driven approach made the home buying process very easy and enjoyable for us as first time home buyers. It was obvious Amanda was respected and well connected in the Chicago real estate market and that made all the difference in finding our dream home. I will continue to work with Amanda and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!

Amanda is the best. After she quickly sold my neighbor's place for a great price, I knew I had to contact her. And well, she doesn't disappoint. She's pretty much exactly what you'd want: knows her stuff better than anyone, and has the drive to get the job done. She always responds to questions, no matter how silly, and has great advice for both first time buyers and the more experienced. Honestly, why wouldn't you use her?

I know you can't give more than 5 stars but if I could I would add 5 more to this review. Amanda made me feel like I was her only client during the entire process of selling my condo, always available and never wasted a minute during the process of the sale. If you are searching for a real estate agent, look no further than Amanda McMillan at Chicago Home Partners. Hope she doesn't have a waiting list, she's that good!!

Amanda is an extremely efficient realtor to work with. She has deep expertise in the Chicago market and provides realistic and objective advice. Amanda assisted me with both purchasing and selling my downtown condo and she was instrumental in the negotiation process. We made substantial gains in just three years. I also recommended Amanda to my colleagues, all of them had exceptional experiences with her.

Amanda was so unbelievably good when it came to selling our Chicago condo. We moved out, had our place cleaned, and handed the keys over to Amanda. She took care of everything else and we sold for much more than we had ever expected to. Trust her to do what she does best and you'll have a great experience too. Thank you so much to Amanda and her team for making it easy for us.

Amanda is a phenomenal real estate professional. She helped us through one of the most challenging markets in recent history and we were able to find our ideal home in large part due to her connections. We were also satisfied with the price we were able to close at. We couldn't recommend Amanda more strongly - we anticipate working with her for the foreseeable future!

Amanda is the best. Her professionalism, knowledge of the industry and market, and attention to detail are simply unmatched. She takes the time to listen to the needs and interests of clients and is an invaluable guide through the home selling and buying process. I highly recommend Amanda!

Amanda was really great to work with. She made everything seemless and was very knowledgable. She led us through our first home buying experience, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. We would recommend Amanda to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.
