Tanya did an outstanding job in assisting us in purchasing our multi- unit building. If I had any questions or concerns, she responded right away, and she is very knowledgeable. I will continue to do business with Tanya, and will most definitely recommend her to friends and family.

Tanya provided outstanding service to sell our property in the near west side of Chicago. She not only helped us navigate the transaction, but she coordinated showings/inspection with tenants and provided helpful guidance through the entire process. We will definitely rely on Tanya again!

I first met Tanya when she helped a friend purchase her first condo and was impressed with her local knowledge and lack of pushiness. When my husband and I were ready to start looking for our first home, I immediately reached out. Tanya set up a search for us right away that matched all our criteria and got us in to see several properties quickly. When it came time to put in an offer, Tanya clearly explained each step of the process to us and let us know what to expect without being condescending. She went to bat negotiating for us and stayed in contact every step of the way. Even after our offer was accepted, she stayed in touch and helped refer us to other professionals. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Tanya and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially first time homebuyers.

Ms. Cochran is very professional. She responded promptly to my emails and she addressed any concerns that I may have had. We are also using her for a new construction purchase and I will most definitely refer her to family and friends.

Working with Tanya to find my new townhome was a pleasure. Her knowledge of neighborhoods, combined with her professionalism and upbeat attitude were much appreciated, she was incredibly helpful and patient as I decided where I wanted to live, and was always very respectful of my schedules and timing. No matter what I say I can’t recommend her services enough! Thank you, Tanya!

Tanya was an exceptional agent. As first time home-buyers she was patient, clear, and extremely helpful navigating us through the process (and during the crazy fast-paced environment that covid created!). She walked us through every stage of the process and helped us think through the pros and cons of every place we looked at. She has a ton of experience not only in real estate but also in remodeling, so she helped us to think through renovations that could be done. In addition, she has a great network of professionals she works with (lenders, attorneys, etc) who helped shepherd us through the offer, negotiations and closing process. Her responsiveness is AMAZING (seriously, does she ever take time off??) and was always available immediately with an answer or would get back to me with answer ASAP if she didn't know it. I would 100% recommend Tanya to any home-buyer. She is my agent for life!

Tanya is the agent you HOPE you find when buying or selling your home. She made the process so easy and stress-free, I wanted to hug her when it was finished! Tanya was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small they seemed, and even though I could tell she had several other clients she was working with, she always made me feel like I was her only concern. I could not give her a higher recommendation, and if I could give her 10 stars I would.

Excellent service from beginning to end! She was always available and would return text messages in less than a minute! If she didn’t have the answer to my question should would always get it by the end of the day (usually within 30 minutes).

Tanya is, hands down, the best real estate agent in Chicago. She is extremely well versed in the HARDEST markets in Chicagoland and can make a sale in no time. Tanya is so invested in her clients success that she brings her all every single day no matter what unforeseen circumstances come your way....and they will. We worked with her on preparing our home for sale, and within 24 hours of her photographer coming in we had multiple offers on our house. As great and easy as the start was, she was also able to coach us through a very tough process with a terrible buyer and even worse lender, all the while she put up with our complaining. Tanya always tried to allay our fears. She worked her butt off for us! She deserves all the credit for getting us a sale price we didn't expect and a support system we desperately needed.

Tanyas knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail is unparalleled. Anyone I've recommended to her has had nothing but a stellar experience. I've even heard of others in the industry mentioning her as one of the most professional realtors they've worked with. She's made our home buying process as smooth and easy as it could've been.

We contacted Tanya after having liked a home that we saw listed in Zillow. She responded right away to our first contact and to every subsequent contact she always replied immediately. She was very patient and always gave us priceless advice regarding the financial issues of buying a home (specially being our first home ever) ,location advice (we were totally new to Chicago and to each and every neighborhood) and the overall process of buying a home for us "property virgins". She gave us a list of several options to choose from and was always gladly willing to show us every apartment that we liked. She was always available for the showings and would give us several options to see the properties given her and our tight schedules. She was always available to answer each and every question we had along the process. When we finally decided on a home to buy, she was always there to make sure every single aspect of the closing process was seamless and smooth. Of notice, she is without any doubt a great realtor and person, showing that not only she has a great experience in what she does but she truly cares about helping you find your future dream home and she does it with great passion and love within. We couldn't have found a better realtor. She was an angel for us.

As a first-time home-buyer, Tanya was extremely patient with me. She was knowledgeable, and able to answer the many questions I asked. She also brought to light some things to think that I wasn't aware of as a first-time buyer.

I found Tanya on Zillow and she responded almost immediately. I went to see several houses between October and April, even in very bad snow she was always there to show me more houses. I can say she will help you no matter what your budget is and will help you in your home buying process.

I needed to quickly relocate to the North side of Chicago and reached out to Tanya for help. She has an immense knowledge of the area I was interested in, and patiently responded to my many inquiries about each neighborhood, even specific blocks. She even accompanied me in her spare time on a guided neighborhood tour of Logan Square since it was one of my target neighborhoods. I wound up in Irving Park, but couldn't be happier with my rental and its location.When I decide to buy a home I fully intend to use Tanya, she knows this city.

Tanya went above and beyond assisting us with purchasing and closing of our condo. She was there every step of the way! We used a new type of loan during this purchase and she always provided frequent check ins during the process and even new lender recommendations. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and my husband and I would recommend her to anyone!

Tanya was recommended to me by a family friend. She was very patient throughout the home buying process. We went to several places, and she never pressured me to choose one. She told me not to rush and ensured me that the right place would come along and it did! Tanya is also very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about condos and what to look for when searching for an investment property.

My husband and I having been looking for a home for a long time. With very low inventory and so much competition, we felt discouraged at times. Tanya was very very patient with us. She didn’t give up on us. We saw many many homes ranging from townhomes to single family. She responded to our messages promptly and the home we ended up buying, We messaged her , saw the home the next day and put a bid in immediately. We looked at multiple areas in the Chicagoland area. This is our very first home and Tanya helped us secure a reputable lawyer and home inspector. She has really great connections. She helped us to negotiate to ensure we had home owners warranty and even credit from the seller. Tanya is a great realtor and has such a good heart, she will listen to your wants and needs and will do her best to make sure you find a home that you are comfortable with. Throughout our search, she always reminded us that a home purchase is huge. We never felt pressured to buy any home. I felt comfortable asking questions and advice throughout the whole process. If you’re looking for a realtor that will help you find your dream home, your first home a place that you can fix up to make yours she is most definitely the realtor for you.

My partner and I have known Tanya for a number of years, and recently worked with her to purchase a 3-bedroom condo. Working with Tanya to find a new home was a very positive experience. She approaches her work with a great balance of professionalism and personal touch. Throughout the search and home-buying process, Tanya was resourceful, as hands-on as needed, and very prompt/flexible in terms of making times for showings and consultations. Because of how competitive the housing market is, and our unwillingness to enter a bidding war that would push us outside of our price range or to settle for less than our expectation in a home, we ended up making a number of offers before one was finally accepted. Tanya was reassuring, encouraging us to trust our gut and persevere, keeping our standards high. The home we ended up purchasing checked all of our boxes and then some, and was well within our price range. My partner and I highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking for a top-quality, knowledgeable, and empathic realtor!

Tanya was an angel sent to us to help us navigate the unknown and sometimes overwhelming process of home buying and selling. She helped us look for an apartment to buy in Chicago being new to the city and home ownership. From the beginning we trusted her. She was very patient, showing us the apartments, asking us questions about what we were looking for. Then, she helped us with the paperwork as well taking time to explain the meaning of everything. She also helped us by giving us trusted recommendations for lawyers and other necessary recommendations (repairs, appraisal). She answered all of our questions always with kindness and patience. We trusted her since the very beginning and we had a great experience with our new home and then she helped us sell it very smoothly even during the pandemic which we thought would be very difficult. We truly recommend her for all your home buying/selling needs. She is A ++

Tanya was extremely helpful and very professional in all my dealings with her. I'm relocating to Chicago from NY and was not sure about how to manage this in the time of COVID. We used FaceTime to visit several apartments and found the absolute perfect apartment in terms of price, quality and location -- I did not feel like I had to make any trade-offs to get what I wanted. She listened carefully to what I was looking for and generated appropriate leads; she did not push her own perspective and always provided helpful information. I feel confident that that apartment we found will work out perfectly and I owe that confidence to her ongoing support and guidance

As first-time home buyers, my husband and I weren't sure what to expect. Tanya patiently walked us through the entire process and answered all our questions in a timely manner. She even went as far as to recommend contractors she had personally used, and taught us about how to set-up an association since our building did not have one. Tanya was very available and present throughout the entire process.

Tanya was wonderful. She was incredibly responsive to any need we had - including viewing homes on her own before we took the time to see them, setting up showings on a last minute basis, letting us see the house we were interested in several times, answering all of our questions, etc. She really was our saving grace in the whole home buying experience.

I would highly recommend her and use her again in the future.

Tanya Cochran is by far the best realtor I have ever dealt with. She went above and beyond during every phase of my apartment hunt journey. She was informative and answered every question I had throughout the entire process. Tanya was an excellent liaison between apartment buildings and other agents. Her communications were clear, concise, and allowed for a wonderful experience. I would absolutely highly recommend her services to any future clients as she is competent, professional, and hands down a reliable asset for your real estate needs.

Tanya is tip top at her craft. She has a thorough understanding of the process and was an excellent guide through the rocky turbulence that is home buying. If you want an extremely responsive expert, please use Tanya. I met her 7 years ago and she encouraged me to become a homebuyer. Throughout that time she always returned my calls, promptly responded to texts while clearly laying out what I needed to buy a home in the near future. Additionally, she has connections with first rate individuals throughout the industry (lawyer, lender, insurance agent).
