Awful.
Description of Work: Kris Monk had sold a property in our building. She had posted signs on our property that were not removed months after close. As the President of our Association I called to kindly ask if she could remove her sign and I was met with a very rude 'I didn't mean to answer your call, call back and talk to my voicemail.' This was followed by a ringtone. I could not believe the attitude and lack pf professionalism she had with me when I had only gotten my name out and property location in our conversation. I would not recommend this person to help buy or sell anything!

are two Wasted over $2000 and several weeks dealing with the most unprofessional real estate individual out of the Lincoln Park office for Caldwell Banker. Be warned, if you encounter Suzi Landsman or David Kipnis, get another broker. If either of these people are the broker on the other side, find a new property. They are extremely unprofessional and you will most definitely end up losing lots of money, wasted time, and aggravation. These individuals give real estate agents a bad name by negotiating in bad faith, keeping buyers under contract after contracts are terminated, in order to force buyers to increase their price. They will also collect multiple offers (with multiple checks!) on the same property and you will have to expend time and lawyer's fees to wrest you money back. Be extremely cautious if you are dealing with them.
Description of Work: David Kipnis and Suzi Landsman are brokers for Caldwell Banker, Lincoln Park, one of the largest and most respected real estate offices in Chicago. I encountered them whiole trying to buy a condo in Chicago. The ensuing month of wasted times and rising expenditure was directly the result of their unusual and unethical practices as real estate agents.They engage buyers very dishonestly and spend days making deals they have no intention of keeping. Besides negotiating in bad faith, they will collect multiple down payments for the same property (which is cashed and held by the Caldwell Banker brokerage)
