" I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Sam Lubeck. Sam is consistently reliable and truly listens to our concerns or challenges as they come up. Sam’s recommendations based off market pricing, availability to attend showings or provide alternative suggestions, showed a deep caring for our needs as clients. Our original house sold within 2 weeks with multiple offers which created a good challenge of finding a new place quickly. Once we decided on a location, Sam was able to manage through a difficult outgoing homeowner/real estate agent relationship and got my new family into the house we deeply desired. Thank you, Sam! - Brian Price "

" Sam helped my wife and I buy a house in Chicago, and we could not be more pleased with our experience working with him. We had a bad experience with another realtor, but when we switched to Sam, we knew right away that he was a real pro. He stuck with us as we saw literally dozens of houses, and his knowledge and input was invaluable. He's a genuinely likable guy who never made us feel any pressure, and clearly wanted us to make the best choice. He was great at communicating with us and with sellers, and I'm certain that his charm and business savvy helped us secure a good deal. We were first-time home buyers, and we were frequently anxious and confused, but Sam put us at ease and helped us through every nerve-wracking part of the process. He's a great agent, and a genuinely good dude. "

" Sam is not the typical realtor. We met him at an open house he was hosting for another client of his, and we really appreciated his open and honest style. We asked Sam to both sell our current home in Gurnee, and help us find a new house in Libertyville at the same time. He took on the listing and we had a great offer within 2 days of being on the market. He also made himself available to look at new homes, and he was able to successfully negotiate the purchase price of our new home. There were challenges Sam navigated along the way, dealing with a very pushy and disrespectful buyer’s agent. This agent nearly caused the deal to fall apart, but Sam kept his cool and dealt with the more inexperienced realtor, pushing back when needed, but ultimately securing the deal through close. Sam has established himself as Chicagoland’s Real Estate Agent. If you are looking for an experienced realtor that will work for you, contact Sam! "

We are so very grateful to Sam for helping us buy a house that fit our needs perfectly. Thank you, Sam! "

He's motivated by the work and he is personally invested in getting the best deal possible. He's extremely accessible and frankly just a great person to work with. I've worked with him on rental and home sale and will continue to be a repeat customer the next time I'm ready to move! "

" It was a pleasure working with Sam. He was extremely helpful and informative. He is very responsive, personable, honest and wraps it all up with a sense of humor. We worked with an agent for 3 years to find our dream house and we couldn't get anywhere with him but Sam helped us to find our beautiful house in less than three month in this volatile 2021 market. His team (attorney and lender) also is wonderful and knowledgeable like Sam. Sam is educated and he knows what he is doing. What we really appreciate about Sam is he never pushed us to make a decision and he never think about sealing a deal to make his own money. During this short journey, we felt that we are his first priority and we are really grateful to him. I feel we were lucky to have a chance to work with Sam and we were very pleased with the work Sam provided for us. we highly recommend Sam Lubeck. Thank you, Sam! "

" My wife and I were looking to move from Los Angeles to the Glenview/Northbrook area of the Chicago Suburbs and we found Sam Lubeck via glowing reviews from previous clients, which I am happy to say, were highly accurate! In the hunt for us buying a new home, Sam was highly organized and accommodating, helping us narrow down from a wide field to what we were really looking for, and then arranging well-scheduled days of showings, fitting in all of the properties we were interested in. When it came to making an offer, Sam had great advice throughout but also allowed us the freedom to do what made us most comfortable. We also appreciated Sam's ability to be available to us and get us prompt responses and updates when we needed them. From the get go, Sam told us that it was most important to him that we found a house we were excited about and could be happy with the process of buying, and he clearly demonstrated that edict throughout the process. Whether you are in the market for a new home locally or making a move from across the country, I highly recommend Sam Lubeck! "

We looked at many places together, and he was always prompt and prepared. He gave me ample time and to make my own decisions while being an excellent sounding board. He never made me feel rushed or that he had somewhere else he needed to be. When I finally found the place to call home, he quickly established a good rapport with the seller's agent and the negotiations were quick and fair.
