A trait that both buyers & sellers love
Eddie Colatorti is a Chicago native and grew up in the beautiful northern suburb of Buffalo Grove. A Loyola University Chicago graduate, he was quickly hired by one of Chicago’s top firms where he began a career in interior design and architecture. Six years later, Eddie began pursuing real estate as a hobby alongside his design work. His success in real estate quickly turned his passion into a career.
Eddie is truly a gem! He is an attentive person who wants the best for his clients. He knows the market well, but he also has builder knowledge. He can walk through a property and assess the quality of the materials and build which is a helpful skill. He has good knowledge of the local HOA’s and can give a bottom up analysis. I feel so lucky to have worked with such a great realtor!— Joshua
I am a first time home buyer, and Eddie did a great job of helping me through every step of the process. He spent a lot of time showing me homes and accommodating my difficult work schedule, working through the pros and cons of different types of properties, and helped me to understand the process of closing and all the things required leading up to it. I love my new place and I never would have gotten it without Eddie’s help!— Kira
We used Eddie Colatorti to sell our home in Chicago and he was outstanding. Eddie was excellent at keeping us updated with our online viewings, strategies on how to generate more in unit showings, his social media presence was strong, and we could tell he put a lot of work into his listings. Furthermore, he thought outside the box by hiring a drone specialist to conduct a specialty tour of our unit, so it stood out against our comparable competition. We spoke with Eddie and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the ...— Geneva
Eddie is truly someone you want on your side whether purchasing or selling your home, especially in the Chicagoland area! He knows everything about every building including accurate market rates, on-going renovations, how good a building's management is, parking/public transit situations, school districts, restaurants, etc. He is extremely genuine and feels like a lifelong friend helping with your real estate needs. Whether you are looking to buy to live in (That's what he helped me with) or as investment property, he is looking out for you. My condo value was on the low end of his current clients and I truly felt that I was his only client at the t...— Alex
We are living our dreams because of Eddie Colatorti. After discovering a home that checked our three boxes in a suburb we hadn’t considered, Eddie got us a showing that evening and accompanied us on a hike out of the city. After falling in love, Eddie represented us in submitting an offer that was reflective of the work needing to be done to modernize this 100-year-old cottage. The owner originally declined, only to call the US back later to accept. This was because of Eddie’s relentless defense of our interests and standing firm on what we all vehemently believed was the right position. Because of Eddie’s expertise, professionalism and consult on i...— Gina
Eddie was a great resource and ally as I tried to navigate the market and explore some new neighborhoods. He was quick to understand my priorities (must haves) and wants (nice to have) to come up with a great variety of places to show me. I loved that after every showing we would do a quick little run down of what we just saw and he would always call out things that seem unsuspecting to the untrained eye. Light fixtures, windows, etc. Stuff that I may not have noticed right away that could have been problems in the long run. His awareness of the city and neighborhoods were amazing. Has a restaurant and other "great spots" to recommend everywhere so ...— Hillie
We are so grateful to have had the privilege of working with Eddie! He made our experience from moving out of the city to the 'burbs both fun and easy. Throughout our journey, Eddie was always available, quick to respond, and supportive. Eddie provided his expertise and educated my husband and me as first-time home buyers. He always kept our interests and priorities at the forefront. We were always amazed at his insight. He has an amazing combination of smarts, experience, and honesty with a great sense of humor mixed in. Eddie's an expert in negotiations, both thoughtful and creative during a difficult buyer's market. Our family couldn't be happier...— Taylor
Eddie is amazing and our experience was nothing short of excellent. My wife and I were looking for something specific and had an extended timeline in mind; view in the late summer, again in the fall, and lease that winter. Eddie's acumen and energy made the process fun and engaging right from the beginning. His patience and attentiveness made finding that one home from all of possibilities easy to navigate. He really understood us and our criteria. We started from a curated list of possibilities and never saw an apartment that wasn't worth viewing. Eddie was instrumental every step of the way right through to getting our keys.— Birchard
Eddie was amazing to work with on both my sale and purchase transactions. He always responded promptly, and was completely knowledgeable in all aspect of both locations and the homes themselves we visited. He worked to quickly negotiate both contracts and took care of all paperwork and communication between the parties involved, making the process incredibly easy for me. On the purchase of my now current home, he even essentially performed all of the responsibilities of the seller’s agent as they were out of the country for majority of the process. I would strongly recommend Eddie’s services, you won’t find a better Realtor®!— Derek
I am the type of person that gives Realtors® nightmares. Loud, emotional, demanding. Eddie was able to manage this by continually updating me with different aspects of the process. He is not only a professional, but a therapist too! My wife and I couldn't be happier with our new home. The day we found it, Eddie ran over there within the hour to give it his stamp of approval that we needed. Working with Eddie was necessary for me to be able to come to terms with buying my first home, and I give him the highest recommendation to anyone out there looking to purchase their first home. 5 stars. Thank you, Eddie!— Zach
Eddie was diligent, communicative, and flexible throughout the process of selling our condo. His keen eye for what new homeowners are looking for allowed him to focus on the bigger picture of what made our property the right fit for potential buyers. His attention to detail in listing our home with photographs and a video to illustrate its full potential was an asset. Additionally, he went above and beyond in making himself available to take a phone call or respond to texts and e-mails outside of traditional work hours. We are so thankful that we had Eddie in our corner to make the sale of our home a success!— Michael
Eddie is truly one of a kind. Buying our first home we were so nervous and terrified, but Eddie put all of his heart and effort into making the experience very smooth and enjoyable. Every aspect of the home buying process from finding listings to putting in offers was given 110%. Eddie has a drive and at times seemed like he was personally buying the home which gave us that much more piece of mind in finding and creating a great deal. Eddie has exceeded all of our expectations and we could never go through this process again without him. Thank you Eddie!— Kelsey
Eddie deserves immense credit for helping us find and purchase the Lincoln Park condo of our dreams. From the start, Eddie focused on understanding our needs and wants in a property and focused on showing us the right listings. Thanks to Eddie’s keen understanding of our needs and the real estate market, we were able to negotiate very favorable terms on the ideal property before the listing was public. We absolutely love our new home, and we owe so much to Eddie for helping us find it and for making the home buying process as smooth as possible.— Corbin
Having worked with several Realtors® in the past, working with Eddie on the recent sale of our home was a breath of fresh air. From the beginning, Eddie mapped a very clear and realistic strategy and expectations for the sale of our property and ultimately delivered on those in a shorter time than was expected! Throughout the process, Eddie was very patient and up-front with us, but what was truly appreciated is Eddie's transparency, feedback, and open and prompt communication. I would highly recommend Eddie to anyone buying or selling.— Todd
This is our second time using Eddie to find an apartment and he is amazing! He was attentive to listening to our needs, thorough in his search for apartments, and incredibly helpful in assessing which apartment was best for us. Once we chose an apartment, he help negotiate concessions to ensure we got the best deal and made the lease signing process very easy. Overall, he always had our best interest at heart. We will be looking to buy in the future and will definitely be using Eddie. We highly recommend him to anyone!— Grace
I couldn't have done it without Eddie! He was recommended to me by a friend of a friend to help in the process of finding an apartment in Chicago. Moving from out of state in a time crunch for a new job was stressful, but Eddie handled all aspects of the apartment search (locating, viewing, negotiation, etc.). He considered all of my priorities resulting in a very pleased client. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Eddie and will be using him in the future and already recommended him to people I know.— Desirae
Looking for a place is such an important and personal experience. Searching over the summer, the market was super competitive and moving fast. What I loved most about Eddie wasn’t just his glowing personality, hustle, and “we got this” attitude but his genuine interest in finding a place that met my unique needs. You’ll spend a lot of time with your Realtor®. It really should be someone you like and someone with your best interest at heart and that’s definitely Eddie! 10/10 recommended.— Kate
Eddie was a fantastic Realtor®. He helped us navigate reviewing our property for sale, project managed the best upgrades with his network of fantastic contractors, negotiated with the buyers on our behalf, and made sure the sale went through smoothly. He was cognizant of our family (which included a newborn and a dog during a pandemic) and was just an all-around pleasure. He worked flawlessly with another Realtor® as a team. We would happily use his services again!— George
Eddie is a godsend. I'm not sure what more you can ask for in a Realtor®. Eddie is someone who will fight for you (the client) when it comes to buying and selling your property. He makes you feel like a priority, which is helpful in an otherwise stressful time. We have recommended a few friends work with Eddie during their home buying and selling life stages. Their feedback is always "Eddie is the best!" And, truth be told, he is.— Michael
Eddie's real estate knowledge in the Chicago area is exceptional. He made sure that I was getting the right price for the home and was able to provided multiple comps in the area. He helped negotiate the best deal for me with the seller. He is timely with his responses and was able to show me condos when requested. I'll be happy to recommend him to anyone and also continue working with him in the future.— Connor
Eddie was great throughout our entire experience. He helped ensure we made the right choice by providing a large selection of options for us to choose from and guiding our way all the way to close. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to secure a home - being first time buyers, we were clueless on most of the ins and outs. Eddie helped ensured we knew every step as we went along.— Kimberly
Eddie was a pleasure to work with! He realized I had a budget to stay in and did not show me anything outside of my budget. Eddie was extremely knowledgeable when it came to HOAs and reserves. This made the house hunting process so much easier and a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend working with Eddie! Thanks again for helping me find my little dream condo in Chicago!— Anastasia
Eddie was phenomenal. Quick to respond- very timely, not pushy, and definitely had great relationships with all of the surrounding properties. Most buildings shy away from agents but you can definitely see the relationship that he has with be different ownerships/buildings set him apart from other agents. Don't look any further, just shoot him a message.— Michael
Eddie was a great help throughout the whole process of finding a place for my roommates and I to rent. He gave some great suggestions on buildings based on what we like and had great attention of detail in each of the apartments. He knew what he was doing and always asked the right questions. Going forward, I will continue to use Eddie as my agent!— Jake

Eddie, thank you for selling our family home so quickly and exceedingly above asking price. You are truly an exceptional agent, and I can see why you were highly recommended. After the first offer fell through at the last minute, you immediately reached out to previous offers and had another contract being written within hours. You provided advise and expertise and reassured us throughout the process. We couldn't have found a better agent and thoroughly appreciated your professionalism and positive demeanor throughout. We will always ask for you to sell/buy our homes and will absolutely recommend you. Thank you again for making this process stress-f...— Laura
