From the very beginning of the home-buying process, he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He was available 24/7 to answer my questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and truly had my best interests in mind. Cecil’s knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and exciting. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and worked tirelessly to help me find the perfect home. Even after my offer was accepted, he continued to advocate for me and ensured that every detail was handled properly through closing. Most realtors do not have the vast knowledge of the Chicago market like Cecil does. He made sure I was 100 percent comfortable with the home and went through weeks of showings before we landed on this gem. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is honest, hardworking, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients, Cecil is the person to call. I’m incredibly grateful for all of his help and couldn’t be happier with the home I purchased!

They were professional and communicative throughout the transaction. Communication was timely, and they stayed engaged to help move things forward when coordination was needed between both sides. They demonstrated solid market knowledge and a clear understanding of the process, which helped keep momentum toward closing. I appreciated their effort to stay responsive and solution oriented from contract to close.
Personable, hard working, knowledgable

Cecil created a high-quality Marketing package that highlighted the features of my home. He always had open lines of communications and kept me informed throughout the sales process. Was very helpful throughout the curveballs the buyer and their lender threw after an offer was accepted and successfully got the sale to the finish line in what felt like record time!

Cecil is THE Agent to Work With! We had the pleasure of working with Cecil to purchase our first home and Cecil made every step of the process easy for us! From taking the time to understand what we were looking for, to then giving us time to look through what was available, always being just a message away in case we had any questions, to then even providing recommendations based on what we had discussed with him (that we ended up loving more than we had seen), Cecil goes above and beyond for his clients! Cecil has deep expertise that enabled him. Cecil was our one-stop-shop from finding a home, getting insurance, getting our loan, and more he can really do it all! Cecil spent countless hours with us helping us find our dream home and not settling for less. If we were to do it all over again, we would definitely go to Cecil again.

Cecil is a Subject Matter Expert in Real Estate, Financing & Insurance. Cecil took the time to show my wife and I on tours across the northwest suburbs and Des Plaines area making sure to identify and source the right home that fit our needs. He did a good job educating us and also negotiated a good price for our home purchase, while handling all other facets of our transaction related to the financing and insurance as well. Would highly recommend him and his team are experts in the field and know how to make sure clients are well taken care of. They have an extensive toolkit of mobile apps, websites and data sources beyond the traditional MLS that make sure clients get access to the public & private MLS as well as off market opportunities we would not have discovered on our own. They also did good due diligence and made sure the home we selected was in a sound and safe association with healthy reserves we have resided in for 8+ years with no major issues or special assessments. He also provides service after the sale and kept in touch with us before during and after the closing. We just finished our first home improvement upgrade and appreciated the contractor referrals who did good work for our renovations and home improvement projects last year.

Cecil is an outstanding agent, and so very knowledgable in so many facets of real estate, as well as a wealth of knowledge in commercial properties. He will always be my go to Realtor, because he negotiated a deal over our asking price, and we couldn't be happier with his service.

We had the pleasure of working with Cecil Sabu for the sale of our rental property at 9275 Dee Rd Des Plaines, IL 60016, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Cecil demonstrated professionalism and expertise, guiding us through what could have been a challenging process with ease and confidence. From the moment Cecil took on our listing, he showcased his expertise by pricing the property perfectly to attract strong interest while maximizing its value. He was diligent in organizing open houses, ensuring the property received excellent exposure to potential buyers. Thanks to his proactive approach, we were able to get the property under contract quickly. One of the standout aspects of Cecil’s service was his ability to provide expert advice on dealing with difficult tenant situations. His calm approach helped us navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring the sale remained on track. Cecil also connected us with reliable contractors and other professionals, streamlining necessary repairs and preparations for the property. Everything was handled in a smooth and timely manner, saving us the stress of coordinating these details ourselves. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, we highly recommend Cecil Sabu. Working with him was a seamless experience, and we are incredibly grateful for his support.

Cecil has been a strong ally to my family and me personally given our unique circumstances - he went above and beyond when other traditional retail lenders gave a generic no answer, he called multiple lenders and mortgage companies on our behalf to find a company able to do a DACA loan, figured out how to make our situation work to achieve the American Dream and negotiated a good price in a great neighborhood in Des Plaines. And he helped us negotiate a good price on the insurance and was involved witj us every step of the way. We were very impressed and genuinely very happy with everything he has done for us not just in the home purchase but overall to our financial situation and have trusted him with our friends and family members too. He has a good team of knowledgeable experts who are also bilingual and Spanish speaking too.

I came to Cecil with about 25 days left on my lease to find a condominium that checked off all my boxes. In 25 days, Cecil and I visited close to 100 condos across the city. Cecil Sabu has got to be the most knowledgeable broker in the business in Chicago. Every neighborhood we visited came with a tour of local restaurants, bars, and businesses. Not only does his knowledge cover the neighborhoods of Chicago, but in handling any question or concern I had in regards to my first home purchase.Negotiating on my behalf, Cecil was able to get almost half of my closing costs back as credits and secured me one of the lowest interest rates I have ever heard of. We were able to find an amazing condo, well within my budget in less than 25 days! If I knew it would be this easy, I would have looked to buy a place years ago!If you want the most hassle free and enjoyable home buying process, look no further than Cecil Sabu. His dedication to his clients is incomparable, and his knowledge of Chicago is unmatched.

Cecil did a fantastic job leasing out our commercial building.Other agents thought it couldn't be done. Cecil believed in what we had to offer and found 2 tenants that met all our needs, at a higher rate than we expected.He very patiently explained the leasing process, and negotiated smart on our behalf.Thanks, Cecil!

Cecil was instrumental in helping me find and sign the right apartment in my recent search. Working with Cecil made my apartment search relaxing - something I didn't think was possible! He is very easy-going and accessible at any day and time, keeping me well-informed throughout the process.

Unlike many other real estate professionals I've dealt with previously, Cecil really listened to me. He easily picked up on what I wanted and what was important to me. He stayed unbiased and professional at all times, never trying to sway my decision in a certain way, or pushing out-of-budget rentals on me.

I was also delighted he had knowledge of the Oak Park area, though it is not his specialty.

I worked with Cecil as a first time home buyer, and though the process seemed daunting at first, Cecil made the experience completely painless. He was recommended to me through a friend who had worked with him in the past, and after our first meeting, it was clear why she spoke so highly of him. From the start, Cecil picked up on exactly what we were looking for. He paid attention to our likes and dislikes and understood our concerns. He answered all of our questions (and as a first time home buyer, there are a lot of them!) but also asked sellers the questions we wouldn’t have even thought to ask. It really put us at ease knowing we could trust that Cecil was thinking for us. Throughout the process, Cecil was very accessible and promptly responded to voicemails, texts, and emails. He kept us well informed, and we really appreciated his unbiased and professional opinion. He is one of the most dedicated people I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and his knowledge of the industry is unsurpassed. Thanks to Cecil, we found the perfect home and couldn’t be more grateful for his outstanding work. We’ve recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so in the future!

Cecil carries himself with the highest professionalism and conducts business in the same manner. He is very conscious of the customer's needs and commits himself to delivering them. His superb local knowledge sets him apart. Finally, he is humble and possesses the resources to point the customer in the best direction - even if that is not through him. At the end of the day, he wants his clients to go home 100% satisfied.

Cecil is the most involved, respectful and timely person I have every had the pleasure of working with. His work ethic is surpassed by no one and his knowledge of the market is sophisticated. I would recommend working with him over any other agent out there.
