  • I purchased a home in Oak Brook in July of 2015. John was amazing! He patiently provided us with multiple options, accommodated our hectic work schedules, and provided an honest perspective about any given piece of property. He really wanted us to find the best home for our needs and our budget, and made every effort toward this on his end. In terms of the closing, John advocated for us every step of the way, and continued to do so even after all the paperwork was completed and the keys were in hand! Unfortunately, the seller reneged on several items in the contract, but John insisted that those costs should not be borne by us; he made arrangements with the seller's agent to split the cost of the repairs. John ensured that the repairs were completed in a timely manner, coordinating with us and the workers for weeks after we moved into our home. Needless to say, John got us a great price on our home and his presence gave us confidence that we would reach the finish line. I would recommend the Romanelli team to anyone who is looking for a home. John and his family are super accommodating and have their pulse on the market in our area. Even the office staff are warm and friendly! You're sure to be satisfied with your purchase, just as we continue to be

  • My husband and I were so lucky to have Romanelli & Associates guiding us through the process of buying our first home. We were totally new to the real estate market and home-buying process, but working with them completely eased our apprehensions. They did everything to stay on top of the market of homes that fit our criteria, made sure that we were among the first to see something new on the market, and helped us find something that would truly fit our lives and personalities, all the while helping us make sure that we were making a good investment. They are very professional and all-around great people. They worked extremely hard to get us the best deal on the house we decided to call our first home! The Romanelli’s were a pleasure to work with and even came by after we got the keys to see how we settled into our new home! My husband and I will be doing all of our future home-buying through Romanelli & Associates.

  • We worked with Romanelli & Associates to find our first family home. Eternal renters, and city people, we were very excited about the prospect of more space in the suburbs. The Romanelli Team listened to what we needed and wanted in a home and worked hard to show us many different options within our areas of interest. They also provided us with very helpful information about the neighborhoods we were looking in (where to live for the best schools, what part of the towns are most desirable for growing families, etc.). They were patient with us, as we were coming from the city for showings, on top of traffic and our then 7 month old daughter. They were always available and incredibly responsive to us, answering all of our questions along the way, as we were first time homebuyers. Once we saw the home we ultimately purchased, we were very hopeful that they could find a way to make it ours. They came through for us, and worked very hard throughout negotiations, keeping us updated on the latest from the sellers' agent. We closed on our home in February! On moving day, they stopped by with a pizza and champagne, which was amazing because it had been an incredibly long day and we'd just put our daughter down for the night, hoping she'd sleep well in her new home. So thoughtful! We've now been in our home about 5 months and couldn't be happier with how things are settling in. We still keep in touch with the Romanelli’s, and they continue to be a trusted resource for us. Thank you, for helping us find our home!

  • The Romanelli team is the best group of salesman that I have ever met. They could sell sand at the beach. They have incredible charisma and charm, as I’m sure you already know, they welcome challenges in the Real Estate field. Their best characteristic however, is that they are an honorable group of men. They are among a small group of people that I would do business with based on a handshake and their word…………..that’s a rare trait in today’s world.
    - Jim M. – Hinsdale, IL
  • Professional, experienced, knowledgeable, integrity…are just a few words to describe Romanelli and Associates! I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience my wife and I had working with them on the recent purchase of our home in the Western suburbs. The Romanelli team is highly professional and worked diligently to first understand our individual requirements, and then found us the perfect home within our budget and exceeding our expectations! Thanks again to the entire Romanelli team for your exceptional service…and hospitality that is unequaled!

  • Don Romanelli recently helped us to find a new home.  I know we were not the easiest clients, but he patiently and tirelessly worked with us until we found the right fit.  I do not think you could do better than Don as a realtor.
    - Robert & Lauren V. – Hinsdale, IL
  • A wise man once said, “Never ask a question that you don’t know the answer to.” In real estate, you better have someone on your side that has the answers. With that being said, when a home in my neighborhood came on the market, I quickly called Romanelli & Associates to help me make the purchase. Within two days we were well into negotiations and I knew I had the right team on my side. A week later, the negotiations were finished and the Romanelli Team got me the best deal there was. Thank you for all your help.
    - Dan M. – Hinsdale, IL
  • Don & the Romanelli Team are the best in the industry. They are responsive, trustworthy and hard working. I will buy and sell my next house thru them. 
    - Sunny N. -Naperville, IL
  • I want to thank Romanelli & Associates for their expertise and professionalism which resulted in the prompt and timely sale of my home. Their guidance to correctly and realistically price, as well as properly stage my home, resulted in a prompt identification of a buyer. Romanelli & Associates allowed for a seamless sale of my home with both buyer and seller happy participants. An impressive achievement no matter what the circumstances. I have worked with many other Realtor companies in the past 30 years but without a doubt, their company is head and shoulders above any I have been involved with in the sale of property for me in the past. Their knowledge of the market place and potential clients resulted in the successful sale of my property. Without hesitation I would highly recommend them to my family and friends for any future real estate transactions. Any future real estate transactions that I may be involved with will be placed in their capable and professional management because I will know it will be done promptly, fairly and profitably. Thank you again for all your assistance.

    - Bradley & Patrice S. – Hinsdale, IL
  • Our paths crossed with the Romanelli Real Estate team in response to a listing in the Oak Brook, IL area. It took up to 3 years to get what we were looking for. At some point or another during that time we interacted with all the members of the team and can vouch for their attention to details, immediate responsiveness, professionalism, and profound knowledge of the real estate industry. Our point person was Don: overall he was excellent. We concluded he was not driven by making a sale but by conscience, integrity and customer satisfaction because on many occasions, he steered us away from potential pitfalls. I highly recommend this team: you definitely won't be disappointed.

  • The Romanelli Team was amazing! My husband and I WERE first time home buyers with very limited knowledge about the process. I emphasis the WERE because now, thanks to Romanelli & Associates, we are living in the home of our dreams! We looked at a significant amount of homes and changed our minds frequently, but they never made us feel like we were taking too long to make a decision. Thanks to their enthusiasm, every time we went to look at houses felt like it was the first. Their energy and passion for the industry made our whole experience outstanding. I would absolutely recommend them to any future home buyer.

  • I have used Romanelli Realtors on multiple occasions both in purchasing and selling homes in Hinsdale and Oak Brook. They are extremely professional, dependable & have a real understanding of market conditions. Nobody possesses the ability and skills to get the deal done like they do. I have also used, and was very pleased with Romanelli Design/Build services. I always recommend Romanelli Realtors without reservation
    - Sam T. – Hinsdale & Oak Brook
  • After experiencing the sale of my home and purchase of my new home in the past 4 months, I highly recommend using Romanelli & Associates as your Realtor. Romanelli and Associates are a first class firm that keeps the client first. Whenever I had a question or needed information, they always took my call or immediately called me back. To me, that is most important and that is why I choose them to represent me. They understand the changing market conditions and are willing to tell you the truth and what is going on in the surrounding communities. Thank you to Romanelli & Associates.

  • Don was very impressive on his depth of knowledge of the area. He provides a professional and personal touch to his work. He takes the time to get to know his clients. His client’s mission and vision becomes his mission to find the perfect place for his clients. We had a wonderful time working with Don. His level of patience and attention to detail was very good. He was very fun to work with as well as extremely flexible. Thank you Don for your hard work and dedication to us.

  • The Romanelli team is the best! They know ALL the ins and outs in Burr Ridge, Oakbrook and Hinsdale Areas. They will guide you to the best available properties. Their team is prompt, courteous & a wealth of knowledge.
    - Bill D.
  • We purchased our home from Romanelli & Associates twenty years ago. They were gentlemen, helpful and patient with me as I am not the easiest person to deal with. When we decided to sell our home and move to California, we listed our home with them. We had problems with our house settling that had to be fixed before the inspection. They found the contractors for us quickly. The work was done immediately and the sale went through. They are knowledgeable not only in real estate sales but in construction. I highly recommend them as Realtors.
    - Dorothy B. – Hinsdale, IL
  • BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS! From our very first meeting with Romanelli Team to after our closing, they displayed extraordinary diligence and knowledge as well as trustworthy referrals and advice in the home – buying process. They are thorough, patient and understand all of the details involved in the purchase of a house. They do not merely show you a house for sale, but make excellent and constructive observations that are extremely helpful based on their experience. Their vast experience in this business provided a wealth of knowledge that was beyond our expectations and was an invaluable part of making the whole process very smooth, comfortable and quite educational! If any of our friends (or any one we know) are looking to buy and / or sell a home we would insist that they use ROMANELLI & ASSOCIATES Inc. because they really are unconditionally committed to the clients but because the SERVICES and KNOWLEDGE they provide is priceless! Thanks Guys!

  • The Romanelli team was a pleasure to work with as they are both personable and professional. They add a friendship quality while still keeping your best interests in mind. I wouldn’t use anybody but them and refer all of my family and friends to them as well.
    - James D. – Oak Brook, IL
  • It is an honor to write a recommendation for Romanelli & Associates! The Romanelli Team has been extremely helpful in guiding me in many aspects of real estate through their knowledge, expertise, and most importantly, their honesty. For me, Honesty is the single most important core value we seek in doing any type of business, especially when it comes to large financial decisions! I feel so comfortable making introductions to John and the company that I have referred several clients and friends, knowing that my reputation couldn’t be in better hands. In fact, I know it will only strengthen my personal and professional relationships with others that I introduce.

  • We first met the Romanelli Team four years ago. Upon visiting Chicago, they showed us properties and educated us on the market as we were relocating from out of town. In March of 2014, a townhouse became available which we proceeded to purchase. The Romanelli Team was always very professional and helpful. They provided names of attorneys, home inspectors, utilities and access to respective parties within the Graue Mill Association. Given that my husband and I were relocating, the Romanelli’s always accommodated our schedule and turned a very stressful situation into an enjoyable one. I would certainly recommend the Romanelli Team without hesitation and appreciate their expertise in the real estate field.

  • Remember in the old days when everyone was a Real-estate Broker. EVERYONE! Even now there are probably more than we need, or want for that matter. But reflecting on that thought, you eventually come to realize that there are brokers and then occasionally there are brokers. When you meet the Romanelli Team, you meet an exception. Let me give you an example of what I mean: He (John) comes to me one day and says I’ve found your next house. Now I say; but I’m not looking for a house. I have too many already, and he says we’re gon’a buy this one because it has your name all over it. And, I bought it. Now you must admit, that’s a Realtor on his game. So if your looking to buy or sell, and you want a realtor on a mission 24/7 call Romanelli & Associates. They wont rest until they get your job done. Of course you might not either but you’ll know their on it. Or if you want the same-ol same-ol then call one of the thousand or so others. It’s entirely up to you.

  • I worked with Don and his team in both buying, renovating and selling my residence.  They are thoughtful, patient, extremely knowledgeable about the area and totally professional. As CEO of a major employer in Oak Brook, we recommended Romanelli and Associates to all employees we relocated to the area.  I personally would recommend Don and team for your real estate needs.
    - Jim B. Oak Brook, IL
  • We are currently working with Romanelli & Associates for the second time. The first time was over 15 years ago when they helped us find the perfect home. They are dependable, responsive, and professional in every respect. Selling our home was an emotional rollercoaster but they supported us and helped us through every step of the process. We are very fortunate to have them by our side.
