Customer Reviews

Courtney was fantastic to work with. Very knowledgeable about the market, easy to work with, and easily available to connect when needed. I’d recommend Courtney to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in Chicago. David Sypult

When my husband and I wanted to find out what we would need to do to buy a home, my friend recommended we contact Courtney. She was responsive and friendly right off the bat and was flexible to meet our scheduling needs. From the first appointment, we knew we made the right choice. She came prepared and walked us through what to expect for the entire home-buying process. My husband and I loved that Courtney was always available to answer questions and we could also use her resources to search for properties we wanted to see. We just sent her the addresses and she set everything up. It couldn’t have been easier. She is extremely knowledgeable and showed us what to look for and what questions to ask the sellers so that we could make an informed decision. Courtney also relieved so much pressure for us by providing recommendations for a lender, an attorney, and an inspector. When we ultimately decided to put down an offer on our home, we felt like we could trust Courtney’s guidance completely. We ended up buying a home we love and feel confident Courtney got us the best deal. I enthusiastically recommend Courtney and plan to utilize her expertise in the future when we’re ready to buy and sell! Allison Odu

Courtney was so kind and thoughtful and went above and beyond to help us buy our house in Chicago. She always made herself available to answer our questions and always helped us along the way (especially as we had challenging work schedules). It was a pleasure to work with Courtney and we will always consider her our “go-to” realtor in Chicago. Cannot recommend her enough! Jonathan Bever

We feel incredibly lucky that a friend referred us to Courtney. Starting with the very first meeting, Courtney walked us through every step of the buying process with precision and efficiency. We are very grateful to Courtney for her expertise and recommendations throughout. Thanks for making the home buying process a breeze! Teresa Moore

Courtney is wonderful! She guided me through the home buying process seamlessly, and I’m thrilled with my new home. Highly recommend! Fallon Crowley

Courtney helped us navigate the neighborhoods of Chicago before we settled on the perfect place. Her knowledge and expertise of Chicago condos made the process easy and fun. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone who is looking for a place in the city. Patty Gill

I purchased with Courtney twice and sold once and would highly recommend. She was very patient as we searched for the perfect home. She took time to highlight points on the MLS that we’re important and I felt like a very educated home buyer. She’s great! Stefani Wildman

We have worked with Courtney for years - she is extremely organized, trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable of the chicago market. Also, she’s really kind and funny - cannot recommend her enough! Kiley Ruggiero

Courtney is professional, organized and very helpful ! Beverly Haramis

I highly recommend working with Courtney. She represented my husband & I while we searched for our first condo together. She was very informative, helpful, and patient - her years of expertise were clear to us during our entire buying process. We know we’ll be reaching out to Courtney in the future once we’re ready for our next home! Kaitlyn Carl Ownby

My husband and I had the pleasure of being introduced to Courtney when we moved back to Chicago in 2019. It was a hectic time with changing jobs and moving. She made the experience amazing. Without her attention to detail and experience, we wouldn’t have landed in a good place. Courtney has stayed in touch ever since. We recently decided to sell, to tackle the next phase of life and didn’t think twice about needing to find a realtor. Courtney did a phenomenal job getting our home sold quickly and above asking price. We followed all her coaching, on recommended list price and staging for pictures/showings, and are grateful that we did. She’s top notch, and will continue to be our go to realtor and referral for others. Tammy Shaulis

Courtney is the best in the business! We have bought and sold 3 times with her. I would not do a move without her by my side. Her guidance, expertise, and personal attention make her a trusted partner during big life changes. I would highly recommend partnering with Courtey for any real estate endeavor. Brooke Glynn

Courtney is an amazing realtor. She is knowledgeable, professional, down to earth and extremely easy to work with. She truly wants you to find exactly the home you’re searching for, while other realtors we’ve worked with in the past have suggested we “settle for good enough”. She has the design knowledge and vision to see the potential a home can have. Courtney not only helped us find our dream house in a very sought after neighborhood, she was also with us every step of the way as we navigated negotiations, inspection and closing to ensure our needs were addressed. She’s always my “go to” referral to all my friends and family. Call her! Kelly Haramis

We could not have been more pleased with our experience working with Courtney. She's helped several of our friends and family members find homes that reflect the individual needs of each family, and always gave us that personal interest to make sure that the house we found was perfect. Her insights, keen sense of the market, and local knowledge was a huge help in us finding the place we are so glad to call home. We'd absolutely recommend her! Allie Ghaman

We reached out to Courtney after multiple neighbors had great success listing their condos with her. She helped us think through whether to rent or sell our condo, always giving honest advice and never pressuring us in any way. When we finally decided to sell, she advised us on what to do and what not to do to maximize the value of our place, and helped us with low-cost staging. She gave us great advice about pricing, and we got multiple competing offers. She also helped us with our home purchase, which went smoothly. I’ve referred her to multiple friends who have been delighted to work with her. Courtney is a friend and trusted home advisor! I can’t recommend her strongly enough. Amy Crawford

Courtney is an outstanding realtor. She was thoughtful throughout the entire process of purchasing/selling, and at no point did we feel pressured in any way. She made everything so incredibly easy for us, and was an absolute joy to work with. We have referred her to multiple friends/family and all have had the same response with her. She is an absolute rock star. Highly recommend. Eric Miller

We have been long time clients of Courtney. She first helped me find a rental when I moved to Chicago. Since then, she’s helped us go through buying and leasing properties. She’s been very patient every time, listens to our feedback well and to this day, we still call her for consultation regarding home renovations that would increase property value. We highly recommend working with her! Vi T

As a first-time home buyer in 2015, I had many questions and needed significant guidance throughout the process. Courtney made me feel at ease and never diminished my concerns. I felt secure and informed every step of the way. Courtney also took the time to send listings that met all of my demands, streamlining the process and ensuring that our visits were focused only on places that hit the mark. Courtney was fantastic throughout the process. She clearly explained what was expected of me, answered my questions and ensured that all deadlines were met on time. When the time came for me to upgrade in 2021, I did not hesitate to reach out to Courtney on my condo sale and new condo purchase. She was equally as fantastic to work with. I wholeheartedly recommended her to multiple friends who were on their home buying journeys. Courtney is the best!! Jessica Sipperley

Courtney was so fun to work with and consistently communicative, responsive and efficient! I would highly recommend working with Courtney to buy or sell a home. Thanks Courtney!! Mary Gill

Courtney is an absolute legend. She helped my fiancé and I find our dream home in Chicago! We couldn’t have done it without her expertise, patience, kindness, support and knowledge. You’d be lucky to have her represent you! Sara Norman

So Courtney was simply stellar and just helped me through the process of buying my first home. I never write reviews because frankly most people don't meet my high standards. Courtney does. She's personable, communicative, a true pro. All of her recommendations from the attorney to the inspector were excellent. I highly recommend! Tina B.

Courtney was amazing at helping me sell my condo in Chicago and find the perfect new home. She was extremely professionally and always prepared. I liked that she was always open and honest with me. If I sent a property to view that may not have been in the best location or may not have been the best fit for what she knew I wanted she would tell me. I never felt pressured to make a deal. Courtney was always available on phone, text or email. I truly felt she was personally invested in my sale and purchase. Rebecca Stern

Courtney was superb! We not only bought with Courtney, but we listed our current home with her as well. She was unbelievably responsive, helpful and courteous. We trusted her and knew that she had our best interests in mind. She was honest and never steered us wrong. I would use Courtney again and again and will recommend her to everyone I know. She is fantastic on both sides of a transaction! Jennifer Shapiro

We have used Courtney twice for previous moves, and she has been great. She's always super responsive, and she was flexible on maneuvering showings around our hectic work schedules. We love our new place, and we would highly recommend Courtney to others! Katie langley

Courtney was helping me to find an apartment twice over the last 3 years. Both times my timelines were quite tight and the requirements were extensive (I was looking for ½ bedroom place in the city with parking and long must-have list of amenities). Courtney is very skilled, professional and intuitive - she immediately understood what I was looking for! None of the apartments shown were a waste of time. She always listened to my feedback and needs, which made our collaboration very effective! She managed to find a new home for me in a record time (4 business days). She also managed to get the new home with in my budget range! Courtney was brilliant in negotiations. I also appreciated continuous follow-up and support after the lease was signed (I have lived in Europe before I moved to US - so I was not familiar with a lot of aspects of moving in to the new place) It was a pleasure working with Courtney Thank you, Courtney Kate Karlova

"Let's get real. We all know how awful the rental process is here in Chicago. From Craigslist to Apartments.com, going solo to find the right apartment at the right price at the right time is frustrating and time-consuming. That's where Courtney comes in. Courtney is ah-mazing. After a couple of weeks of frustrating emails and calls with rental properties, I turned to Courtney to help me with my search. My parameters for bedrooms & price were pretty specific, and my timeline was pretty short. That didn't phase Courtney. Instead, she handled everything like the Wonder Woman Pro that she is. She found the perfect listings, scheduled all of my showings, and negotiated my rental rate on my favorite property without me lifting a finger. I've never had a more simple, stress-free experience finding a rental unit. So, if you're looking to double the amount of Anderson-Cooper-gray hair on your head and the size of the crows feet around your eyes, go ahead and find your own rental unit. But if you enjoy the finer things in life like sanity and zero stress, don't hesitate to give Courtney a call. You'll be in your perfect place before you know it, and you won't have had to lift a finger to get there." Brians Gee

Courtney is awesome. She has always been imminently knowledgeable and responsive and instills a great deal of confidence and ease in what could be a very difficult process. Maybe most noteworthy is that she gets unsolicited high accolades from everyone else in the process, including the brokers and lawyers across the table. She is a great broker. Tarra Zynda

Courtney Welsch was excellent in guiding us and facilitating the sale of our Chicago West Loop townhouse condominium. She initially assessed our potential offering and quickly provided a thorough comparative study of our market to help us determine our value as we prepared to relocate. I thought I had made appropriate improvements to prepare our unit for market. Courtney re-assessed the market ready feel of our home, recommending minor adjustments. Her advice was excellent. She facilitated last minute improvements and produced outstanding photographs for the listing. She gave us excellent market rate advice on the day of listing. The combined excellent presentation and pricing which Courtney produced for our listing resulted in immediate multiple offers without any lost time on market or showing of the space. We were able to select comfortably between offers within days. Courtney helped us identify excellent counsel to administer our sale and directed required administration for an efficient fast sales closing. Courtney's great work mediated the pain of leaving our home and produced very satisfying financial results. We highly recommend Courtney's overall knowledge of the Chicago market and professional ability to make it happen to facilitate sales. Bruce Toman

We were so fortunate to have Courtney as our realtor! Being new to Chicago, we were really overwhelmed about where to begin looking. Courtney is very knowleagable about the different neighborhoods and spend the day driving us around the city to get a better idea of where we wanted to buy. When it came time to place an offer, Courtney was easily accessible and helpful throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend her!! David Koehler

We couldn't be happier with the service Courtney provided throughout the buying process. She listened to what we were looking for and helped us find a home that met our needs. We were new to Chicago and Courtney took the time to show us around the city and to show us what we could get in a variety of neighborhoods. Her knowledge of neighborhoods throughout the city was impressive. She was patient throughout our home search and never pressured us to move faster than we wanted to. Once we found a place we wanted to buy Courtney was on top of the entire process and made it easy for us. We highly recommend Courtney. Paul Swartwout

Courtney helped us buy our first home and we could not have been more pleased. She was always upfront and honest in her advice, which due to her experience in the field, was detailed and well-informed. She clearly knows the Chicago market and has been doing this long enough that she's pretty much seen it all. We already knew the general neighborhood we wanted when we started. We also had a few "must haves" on our list, but she really helped us figure out all the rest of the details we hadn't considered or didn't encounter during our time renting. We never felt rushed even though we were worried about moving too fast for our first purchase. And despite all of the curve balls that the process inevitably throws you, she never became flustered or frustrated. Just rolled with the punches, either because we added another condition or our list, or from the difficulties dealing with the seller. We're still happy with our purchase and hope to stay here for the foreseeable future, but if we needed a realtor again for any purpose I would use Courtney again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Greg Smith

Courtney was great to work with. She displayed great professionalism and made the buying process as easy as possible. Courtney did her homework upfront to get a better idea of the type of property and areas of the city that suited me best. Once we narrowed in on the property I wanted she did a great job of laying out the process from making an offer all the way to closing on the property Mark Gregory

Courtney Welsch is a fantastic, unparalleled realtor. She helped me twice - once in 2010 when my condo was unrented for 8 months under another realtor. Courtney got the job done. Last year she helped me sell that condo. She is professional, accessible, and an overall delight. Max Koch

Courtney was an exceptional agent! She knows a ton about the local market and was able to provide many recommendations. She was very flexible with the changes in location and wants I requested as I was house hunting. Laura Neal

We have used Courtney three times, for two purchases and one sale. We also recommend her to anyone we know buying property in Chicago. Her knowledge and attention to detail make her a pleasure to work with. Mary & Gary Elfring

She helped us get out of our house very quickly. (As in, listed on Thursday and two offers by Sunday... with an accepted offer by Monday noon!) We had three people come and look at our home, and chose Courtney as she was the person we were most comfortable with, and she didn't disappoint. She gave simple steps to stage our home, and then took care of everything to get it up and on the market in our tight timeframe. Justin Rabbach

My sister, who owned the apt before me, referred me to Courtney. Courtney hops to action with little notice. She is quick to respond and flexibly mobile (meaning "Can I get your keys? Where are you?" And she was at my house in Bucktown within the hour to grab the apt keys.). She has also been creative and helpful with executing documents for my strict management office, using technology to our advantage, like Docusign. She's great and trustworthy. Thanks Tarra Zynda

I have used Courtney as my trusted Realtor in 2 transactions now, once to purchase a home and now to sell a home. I would not consider using any other realtor and in fact, have referred her to several friends and colleagues. I can't think of anything [more she could have done]! It was about 1 month from listing to close, which was incredible! Jane Lyons

As a seller from another state I had requirements beyond the perceived normal selling process. Courtney Welsch, agent of Baird & Warner, made the process smooth and easy. I was not onsite during any of the preparations for the property to sell. All expectations were exceeded. If you are in the market the only choice is Courtney Welsch! Peter Zammuto

Courtney did a great job filtering places she felt I would be interested in. After seeing several places she knew the style of place I was looking for. Because there was not a lot of inventory on the market she was very clear that we would need to act quickly on some properties if they were the one. My experience working with Courtney was very positive both as a seller and as a buyer. I will not hesitate working with her in the future if the need arises. I don't feel there was anything more Courtney could have done to improve my experience. I will pass along Courtney's information to those interested in buying or selling in the future. Mark

Courtney was outstanding in managing the completion of a number of small to medium improvement tasks that were required for the optimum sale of my residence which I did not complete myself prior to leaving Chicago due to employment. Courtney's total management of those issues was way above and beyond what I expected an agent to provide. She was outstanding with this work prior to the sale and also was excellent once the property went on the market. I am extremely happy with all of the things Courtney did to make this sale a success. I had considered one other agent with another agency and I know he never would have dealt with the finishing touches issues as well as Courtney did. I cannot say enough about how happy she made us in spite of the fact that we were devastated to have to sell our Chicago home due to employment opportunities. Every part [of the experience] was great. Courtney recommended an attorney who was great. Everything went well. I would not hesitate to recommend both Courtney and Baird and Warner. Bruce Toman

My experience with Courtney has been outstanding. She always had a good sense when someone was serious about the property I sold. She was great at providing feedback to me about some things I needed to get worked out with my building's property management company. I do not believe there was anything you could have done to make things go more smoothly. We had two buyers sign contracts only to back out. Those things happen, and with Courtney's guidance we managed through them and found a qualified buyer shortly after. Mark Gregory

Everything went very well! Courtney provided excellent real estate services during our sale. It was a smooth process from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend Courtney to a friend or family member in the future! Austin DeBaene

Courtney was thorough and quick, which is exactly what we needed considering our time crunch to move across the country! She made it happen better than we could have hoped! It was seamless. Kiley Ruggiero

Courtney was the perfect choice for our realtor. Her enthusiasm for selling our home was evident right from the start and we developed a rapport immediately. Communication was excellent. Courtney worked tirelessly for us. She made herself available to us around the clock and promptly responded to all questions, concerns, and requests. Her hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off. We sold our home in exactly 2 weeks. We can't speak highly enough about our experience with Courtney. Wendy DeLury

Courtney was a real blessing throughout this process and took care of everything in a professional manner. She was always on top of our issues, provided honest feedback, answered questions whenever we had them, and brought an air of calm during what is a generally stressful process. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Greg Smith

Courtney was a pleasure to work with during the sale of my townhouse. She made it as easy as possible considering my family had already relocated to Washington State during the listing and selling process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent. I will absolutely remember Courtney and recommend her unequivocally. Brian Barrido

Courtney Welsch is a great business communicator; working with her enhances my real estate experience, and expands my horizons. Josefana Aleman

Courtney was a great help all along the way. Specifically, she was able to give us a rough sense of what would be required for the house during each showing. As first time buyers, that was really helpful! She was on top of things keeping track of all the bits and pieces during the process and had creative solutions to issues which popped up along the way which was really helpful. It was a real pleasure to work with her. Dinakar J.

As a first-time home buyer, I had many questions and needed significant guidance throughout the process. Courtney made me feel at ease and never diminished my concerns. I felt secure and informed every step of the way. Courtney also took the time to send listings that met all of my demands, streamlining the process and ensuring that our visits were focused on places that I was very interested in. Courtney was fantastic throughout the process. She clearly explained what was expected of me, answered my questions and ensured that all deadlines were met on time. I will be sure to recommend Baird & Warner if the opportunity arises! Jessica Simperley

Courtney is an excellent representative of B&W. She is thorough and complete and does an excellent job of keeping the seller informed as to the status of the selling process. Keith Emmons

Courtney was FANTASTIC. She found us exactly what we were looking for. Bethany Marinacci

Courtney was extremely efficient and effective, helping me on very short notice match a list of very hard-to-find qualities in an apartment...twice! Can't say enough about her. Can't say there is anything to improve, Courtney was fantastic. Rick Flinn

This was our first time selling and buying simultaneously, but Courtney was very patient and thorough explaining the process and helping us get into a home and neighborhood we really love. I've recommended Courtney to friends in the past and will continue to do so. Brooke & John Glynn

Being a first time homebuyer I was very anxious about the whole process. Courtney had a great personality and was excellent about getting me comfortable about going out to view properties. Although we had quite a few hiccups through the process as a result of other parties, Courtney still continued to keep a positive attitude and helped assure me until the very end. I could not be happier with my new place and it was due greatly to the help I received from Courtney. Robert Cunliffe

Courtney has the ability to assess her buyer’s needs and provide an appropriate portfolio of available real estate. In our case,she took our vague descriptions of what we were looking for,and showed us places that not only met all of our criteria, but covered things we hadn’t even considered. We thought we knew what we needed in a home, but knew little about the city’s neighborhoods. Courtney helped us locate properties in areas that were affordable,and perfect for our lifestyle. In the year since we moved in we have discovered that we live in a vibrant neighborhood that fits our lifestyle. - Mary

I recently sold my house with Courtney Welsch as our agent. I would like to let you know how very impressed my husband and I were with her work. Courtney though about all of the details including a timeline for putting our condo on the market and bringing in stagers to help improve the look of our home. Courtney was easy to reach, easy to communicate with, and thought positive throughout the process. We plan to recommend Courtney and Baird Warner to any of our friends who are looking to sell or buy a home in the future. - Erin
