“I can’t say enough great things about working with David Schwabe! I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with him for years—through two home purchases and several other real estate needs. His expertise, professionalism, and consistency never fail to impress.
His deep knowledge of the market truly sets him apart. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring options, he brings valuable insights that help you make informed, confident decisions.

What really stands out is his responsiveness and attention to detail. He’s incredibly diligent, making sure nothing falls through the cracks. His experience shows in every conversation and every showing.
If you're looking for someone who’s not only smart and strategic but also approachable and easy to work with, David is your guy. He’s a true professional, and you’ll be glad to have him in your corner.”
- Tania S.“Just as the market started to downturn, my husband got relocated. We selected Dave as our realtor because he understands what it takes to sell a house: he helped with the entire process end-to-end including staging, selecting the right price point, negotiating, and even helping us with some minor closing issues. Because of his knowledge of the Terramere neighborhood, we were able to sell our house within days of putting it on the market, which alleviated so much stress for us. We've moved several times, and he is the most professional, trustworthy realtor we've worked with over the years. I would hire Dave again in a heartbeat.”
- Whitney F.“I have had the pleasure of working with David on numerous transactions over the years. Dave and his Group are very professional and truly experts in both the technical and psychological aspects of real estate sales. I think that the best illustration of David's skill is the number of properties he listed and sold during the current economic downturn. When you need to sell your home the only thing that matters is whether the Realtor can sell your home. When I refer David to my clients, I always suggest that they ask any other Realtor they are considering, and David, to print out their listings and closed transactions for the last 24 months, and then compare the two lists. It is at that point that they usually make the intelligent decision to work with David and his group.”
- Jame Siebert, Of Counsel at Elder Law & Estate Planning Attorneys of Illinois, LLC.“We enlisted David in 2010 to sell our home in a tough market. He is very easy to work with and he brought a wealth of knowledge, in-depth market expertise, and a 21st-century approach to advertising that I have not seen anywhere else. He even provided professional staging and photography experts to help us showcase our property. We sold quickly and were completely satisfied with the outcome. If you are serious about selling or buying, David Schwabe will deliver.”
- Michael S.
“I give David my highest recommendation!

His ethics are at the highest level, and he does not promise to deliver what is not realistic.”

- Lauren, Arlington Heights“When I was looking for a real estate agent to sell my property, I needed someone who was familiar with the neighborhood and gave me wise advice, someone who saw what I could not see. Just before the sale close, we hit a bump. Problems are where you see the qualities of the service, and David and Faith were quick and available to resolve the issues, and we closed as scheduled.”
- Scott, Arlington Heights"Rana was stellar in coordinating, organizing and dealing professionally even with tough seller agents in a highly tilted COVID market. She can be as hard or soft a negotiator as you need the deal to be. Once you set your expectations of the level of toughness, flexibility you need in your negotiations, she delivers it exactly that way you envisioned. She goes above and beyond, patiently, to find what you need. Highly recommend Rana and expect to work with her in the future. She has become more than an agent to my family, a trusted partner and friend."

Right away, she caught on to exactly what we were looking for and was able to narrow it down to the best of the best. It only took a few homes until we found "the one" in just a weeks time! From Krysti, to her lender, lawyer and inspector recommendations, they were an unstoppable force who were always on top of things, kind, informative and sincere. We highly recommend her on your next home purchase experience, and we cannot wait to recommend her ourselves to people we know!"
