This summer I worked with Jessie Pinkham & Ultimate Realty Group to buy a condo in Chicago. A colleague of mine recommended her to me because she was the seller's agent on a place that they bought - word of mouth is the best way to find good people, right? Well, Jessie exceeded my expectations. I looked at the first condo, made an offer, and it was magically accepted. Jessie was a true advocate for me throughout this entire process. She put in my offer so that it was the first one to come in. She had helpful advice on what kind of an offer to make, and how to change it when the sellers gave me the chance. She was a swift, forthcoming, and honest communicator, which I really appreciated. When the furnace didn't work at my inspection, she called one of her contacts to come check it out and get an estimate for fixing it so we could negotiate with the sellers. As a first-time homebuyer, I really appreciated working with someone who was very experienced, savvy, and smart. Not only is Jessie knowledgeable about the neighborhood of Hyde Park (and Woodlawn, where I ultimately ended up buying), but she was also knowledgeable about how houses work, making repairs, and the Chicago real estate market. She was awesome, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anybody else who is looking to buy in this area. A+!

Ultimate Realty has been managing our six-flat coop apartment building for many years (so many I have lost count--at least 10). WHen we first started working with them, Jessie Pinkham, the company's founder, helped get us back on solid financial ground when our building was sliding into insolvency after years of mismanagement by another company. Liz Lazdins, Jessie's daughter, manages out building now. She is a joy to work with--warm, friendly and efficient! She helps us keep on top of maintenance that needs to be done, manages our finances, and always responds quickly to anything we might raise (and in our 115 year old building, there is always something that needs attention). Last year she shepherded us through the difficult process of having our front limestone porch and balconies removed and repaired. It was a huge job, and we could not have done it without her!

A wonderful experience with Ultimate Realty! We were not even on the market when we saw a "for sale" sign in front of our dream house - we were completely unprepared to sell our apartment, but we wanted that house. Joanne (and Jessie) made it happen for us - helped us work with the seller on the dream house to accept a contingency offer, and then helped us to sell our apartment (found the perfect buyers after 6 days on the market, thanks to the team). They guided us (naive when it comes to real estate) on every step of the process, and made the entire thing painless. Loved that this group really knows the neighborhood, and that they always went the extra mile to make this happen for us. Could not be happier with this experience - thank you!

If you are looking for a realtor who can go through good time and bad time with you, Joanne Bullen from Ultimate Realty Group is the one! My condo sale went through many unexpected turns like a roller-coaster, especially during the current COVID19 pangamic, to the point I wanted to give it up. But Joanna was keeping trying and she spent much more time and effort on this small property than many of her big ones. I am impressed by her dedication, effectiveness, and professionalism. A few months after posting, the condo was sold! I highly recommend her.

Jessie and URG did an amazing job helping us find a house as first-time buyers and they helped us navigate every step in the process. Jessie was there for every challenge that came our way and had great referrals for the mortgage process, home inspection, contractors, and the lawyer. We look forward to running into Jessie around HP in the years to come and couldn't be happier in our new home. Thank you URG!

We loved working with Joanne Bullen! She’s amazing and super knowledgeable in regard to housing in Chicago. She gave us so much information on all the different condominiums and buildings and knew the ins and outs of the area and neighborhoods. We are so grateful that she was by our side as we were looking and making decisions in buying a condo. She is excellent and we highly recommend her!

We had a great experience with Ultimate Realty. Jesse was a pleasure to work with. She provided knowledgeable market insight, timely feedback on showings, informed advice, and was always available and responsive when we had questions. To sum it up in two words: Professional and Personable. If you want to sell a place in Hyde Park, you won't do better than Ultimate Realty!

Jessie assisted me with the sale of one property and the purchase of another. She and her partner Joanne were exceptionally responsive and helpful throughout. They know the area very well, and convey that knowledge in a clear-sighted way. I would absolutely turn to them again.

We had a good experience with Jessie and Joanne. They are very knowledgeable of the market and share the feedback of the showings very quickly. They help take care of the property and give us many good advice. Absolutely a pleasure to work with Ultimate Reality Group!

Both Jessie and Peter were great to work with. Both our buyer and seller experiences were smooth and efficient. They offered good advice and prompt attention to all our questions as we moved through the process of buying and selling our homes.

I highly recommend Ultimate Realty Group in hyde park. Jessie is an expert on hyde park neighborhood. She made everything easy for me on selling my house. Her colleague Joanne was also very helpful throughout the process.

Ultimate is motivated, organized, capable and friendly. Changing management companies is a pain, but life is so much less stressful now working with someone reasonable.

Nice place to getaway.
