Customer Reviews

Swati and her team were the best resources when we recently sold our home of 26 years in Oak Park.There are so many reasons why I am so glad Swati was my agent. To start, Swati was so patient and detailed in helping explain everything to prepare for the sale: what needed to be fixed, replaced, or not changed at all. As difficult as getting a house ready to sell is, having Swati's expert advice made decisions more straightforward. Then, Swati and her team staged our home to present it in its best possible light such as replacing bedding covers and rearranging furniture. When the house was ready to get listed, Swati provided pricing that really allowed us to get the get best possible price - far above the Zillow estimate which is usually spot on. Because of Swati's expertise we had multiple offers which helped immensely in the final price and selecting a serious buyer so the process was smooth and quick. Although the demand for houses in Oak Park is high, a great RE agent is critical to help your house look the best it can so you get serious buyers, and to understand the offers - there are so many criteria to consider such as pricing, contingencies, financing, inspection types, and more - and Swati walked us through everything in detail. Finally, Swati and her team (especially Carol) were such a pleasure to work with - great communicators, kind, trustworthy, and very responsive to questions and concerns. Judy Cheske

Swati and her team had sold a few properties for us. I have to conduct these transactions from overseas and everything with them is smooth, prompt and professional - and we are very happy with the sales prices they achieve. We don't have large, expensive properties, but they make us feel as important as any other client. I wouldn't have anyone else take care of a property sale in Chicago!! Sandra Altamero-Downing For Tomas L Altamero, Jr

Swati Saxena and her team are the best - prompt, professional and they have achieved wonderful results for us several times. I wouldn't have anyone else take care of selling a property for us in Chicago! S Downing

We had such a wonderful experience working with Swati and her team. They truly know the market inside and out and were on top of every detail. When "the house" became available, they moved quickly and strategically to make sure we didn’t miss the opportunity. Thanks to their guidance, we got it! Their professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise made the process smooth and stress-free (as buying a house could be). We couldn’t be happier with our new home and highly recommend Swati. Cynthia Lynn

Dear Swati, I know you always had my interest at the forefront of your plans for me. I never doubted your tireless commitment and sincerity in helping me find a home. You are an extraordinary person not only as as a realtor but your overall genuine, kind nature. With much thanks, Zsuzsa Zsuzsa Blom

I had the pleasure of working with Swati during both the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new one, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Swati was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to all our needs. When it came time to find a home, she helped us find the perfect place and negotiated an excellent deal. When selling our home, she guided us through the entire process, offering expert advice on pricing, staging, and marketing my home. Thanks to her hard work, our house sold quickly and for a great price. What truly sets Swati apart is her commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly. She made what could have been a stressful experience enjoyable and stress-free. I highly recommend Swati to anyone looking to buy or sell a home — her service is the best you can get! Sandra L. Osorio

Swati comes with a great reputation in our community, so choosing her was easy. We found the condo we wanted and the whole process of bidding, inspecting, closing went very seamlessly in no small part to Swati and her team being on top of it all the details. We are excited to use her again to sell the house we are leaving! Susan Beach

Swati was an incredible resource during our recent home sale in Oak Park. She was knowledgeable, kind, and matter-of-fact. She was appropriately data driven and knew the area well. She was always available if we needed her and checked in often. She has an incredible team that helped us stage the home and knew the best things to prep for our sale! She was an excellent negotiator and expertly navigated a multiple offer situation and got us an amazing return. She was there to hold our hand (when needed) at every step. We loved working with Swati and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Oak Park area! We’d use her again in a heartbeat. Lindsey Kurdi Wood

Swati was a pleasure to work with. She shared her deep knowledge of Oak Park with us. We appreciated her steady guidance through the search and purchase process. She was patient, kind, and got the deal done. We are so grateful to her! Nermeen Mouftah

Swati was a pleasure to work with. She was kind, professional, and knowledgable throughout the whole home buying process. My husband and I were first time home buyers with two kids who we toted along to open houses, and Swati was patient and helpful as we worked out what type of space would work best for our family. She had good relationships with other realtors and good recommendations for inspectors and legal representation. Buying a house (especially in this market) could've been a very stressful process, but Swati made us feel prepared and supported during each step. We ended up with a house that we're really excited about! Sarah Bertsche

We had the most amazing experience with Swati as we prepared to move from Ohio to the Chicagoland area. Swati provided us all the pertinent information in an efficient and easy-to-digest manner, and quickly understood our needs. We had a difficult time with the sellers of our now-home, and Swati had no hesitation coming up to bat for us and we always came out of each battle exactly how we wanted. We could not recommend Swati more! Darcy Kenitzer

Swati and her team were great! Kind, helpful, thoughtful, and effective - we couldn’t ask for anything more. Will definitely user her again. Anna Brozek

Swati is knowledgeable, communicative, effective, smart, thoughtful and highly compassionate. She and her team were extremely helpful - start to finish - in helping me prep my home for sale and positioning it in the best possible way. I look forward to working together again. Shayla Bell

Michael J Rodriguez

Swati and her team were a dream to work with! Swati was our realtor when we purchased our home in Oak Park and she was the only person we considered when we were getting ready to sell our condo in the city. Her team did a fantastic job guiding us through the whole process and helped us highlight all the great qualities of our condo which, in turn, led to multiple offers that were over the asking price. We could not recommend Swati enough! Gabriela Gracia

Working with Swati was an absolute DREAM! She knows all about the area and is quick to share her expertise. This was the first time I’ve bought property and I did so without a partner, but I never once felt alone because Swati was so accessible and helpful the whole time. I was SO impressed with her level of organization and detail, from the home buying process flowchart to the thoroughness with which she researched and provided competitive properties for each condo we looked at. Anybody would be lucky to work with her! Amanda Barker

Swati and Carolyn was with me from the very beginning to the end. They were very patient with all my questions as well! hana kim

We had a fantastic experience working with Swati Saxena! Her professionalism, honesty, and trustworthiness were evident throughout the entire process. She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and concerns, and helped us secure the best deal possible. Her in-depth knowledge of the market was instrumental in helping us sell quickly. Additionally, Swati Saxena was always respectful and demonstrated high integrity. I highly recommend Swati Saxena to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable real estate agent. MaryAnn Smith

Swati Saxena is everything you could hope for in a realtor. Over the past several years Swati has helped sell two properties. With her guidance and preparation assistance we received offers in three days on both properties. We highly recommend Swati and her Baird and Warner team. You won't be disappointed. Donna Mains

Swati is the best realtor, both for buying and selling, that I've ever worked with. Swati offered expert guidance, simplified processes that felt complex, and made sure we had a wonderful experience start to finish. Swati helped us consider things that we hadn't thought of and made sure that we had the right information to make decisions. Thanks to Swati and her incredible team, our children get to grow up in our family's dream home. Thank you Swati! Emily Griggs

There are not enough superlatives to express our gratitude and excitement working with Swati Saxena and Baird and Warner. She was professional, prompt, efficient, and the kind of no-nonsense person it takes to get things done. I'm so thankful for her on both the selling and buying sides. We are so happy in our new home and it wouldn't have been possible without Swati. Truly remarkable experience all around. Kenneth Griggs

Swati helped my family sell homes in Oak Park, IL and Forest Park, IL in the past few years. In sum, Swati knows what she is doing and thus we as sellers knew what we were doing! While it took months to get each home ready for listing (Swati has a network to help in this regard - be it a handyman, flooring expert, painters, window cleaners, etc.) - it took less than a week to sell each home. The reason is simple - Swati made sure the homes looked their best and were move-in ready. I would not hesitate to work with Swati and her amazing team again! - Troy Hardbop33 Records

Swati and her team are extremely skilled and dedicated professionally, but are also wonderful people. I had a very challenging situation, and it went extremely smoothly and was much easier than I expected. Amanda Tanaka

Impressed by the skill and professionalism of Swati from day one to the closing and beyond. Elisa Bovo

Scarred by an horrible experience with our previous home purchase, we were very careful in choosing the real estate agent for our next home buying/ selling process. Swati came highly recommended, and after meeting her we felt we could fully trust her. During our long path, she was knowledgeable, clear and most importantly she was very patient and prevented us for making any mistakes. The buyer’s market this year has not been ideal, nevertheless she never rushed us and every time we wanted to make an offer she reminded us why a property wasn’t appropriate for us. Until we found our home! Swati also helped us selling our condo. We had a very good offer in less than a week and the negotiations went very smoothly. Swati had only good advices and recommendations for us. The professionals she relies on are as professional as she is: we had great experience with the lenders, the lawyer, the inspection agent and the contractors. On top of all, Swati goes beyond being a professional real estate broker. She is a kind, caring and empathic person who knew how to support us at every step of our long process, relieving a big part of the stress. We would recommend Swati to anyone, and we also feel we could not have a better real estexperience. We are truly grateful to have found Swati! Elisa Bovo

Swati is a masterful real estate professional. She and her conscientious and talented team knew we were stressed. They helped us through each step of the process from prepping the house to get it ready to be sold, to clearly communicating showings and managing the details of the sale. Swati is knowledgeable, kind, and professional and we couldn't have asked for a more competent realtor to get us through this challenging time. Mary O'toole

Swati was amazing. I'm so happy to have worked with her. She is very attentive to details, letting me know small things that could make each property suit my needs better. She also maintains connections with highly-competent professionals to help with the other aspects of the home purchase. Rachel Ramaswamy

Swati was practical and realistic but always positive, even when I had to adjust my expectations. With her extensive knowledge of Oak Park and the market, she helped me get a great deal on a really nice condo in a perfect neighborhood. Elizabeth Hanson

Working with Swati was great. She was very knowledgeable and responsive and I felt that she always had my best interest in mind. I’ve recommended her to others and will continue to do so! Elayne Klein

Selling a home can be a stressful experience, especially during the COVID environment. Swati kept me up to date on changing conditions and adapted our marketing plan accordingly, and despite the COVID-related challenges helped to sell my condo at my target price and ideal timeline. Swati also provided spot on advice with respect to staging/home prep suggestions, which enabled my property to sell quickly. During the uncertain times of COVID, having a trusted professional like Swati as my realtor gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Swati highly enough! Denise Voelker

Swati and Michelle made the whole process our selling our condo a breeze. Swati did a great job finding and assessing comparables so that we were priced just right for a quick sale. We had an offer in four days. Swati was also very helpful in getting us through the process. She has a lot of contacts who helped us with painting, fixing, and lawyering. Throughout the whole process, Swati and Michelle did a great job keeping us up to date on the status as we worked toward the closing. I would definitely recommend our Baird & Warner team to anyone looking for a professional team to help them buy or sell their property. Roberta A Coolidge

Swati went above and beyond to help my family find a great home. We were an out-of-state relocation, and she was patient and understanding throughout the whole process. She provided in-depth insights and expertise about the unique homes and neighborhoods. She helped us see the vision regarding each home's potential both immediately and in the future. She was organized and thorough in her approach. She always made the time to discuss different potential options and alternatives. Lori Serradas

Swati is great. Really on top of her game. Benjamin Newwtown

Swati was a phenomenal realtor to work with. She has a strong knowledge of the market and the area and also had excellent suggestions and advice. Julia Johannpeter

Swati was 100% on our team from the very beginning. Our home buying process lasted about two years, and she was with us during the ups and downs. She was patient with us and explained the entire process very well. We always knew we had a trusted advisor in Swati. She saw the potential in homes and has a great eye for every aspect of home buying. She was always patient and kind and was professional with other parties involved. It was always evident that she cared about us and was invested in helping us find the right home for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Swati! Jamie Winchell

Swati was excellent to work with. She listened to my goals and recommended the right strategy for me to be successful in the market conditions. She also has an excellent eye for staging and photography so my home looked inviting to buyers. The proof came from receiving an offer less than a week after listing the property while other similar units have been sitting on the market for months. She kept me apprised of next-steps through out the process and her communication with all parties helped move us to a successful close. Rebecca Eby

It was my co-worker who referred us to Swati and they spoke highly of her, so we decide to use her service to sell our first home. Swati did NOT disappoint at all! She is very patience at educating us the process of selling a home, handled us throughout the process, and was able to help us to negotiate with the buyer at a price point where we are both satisfied. Too bad she only caters to Oak Park neighborhood or else we would've used her service again to purchase our new home in Chicago. Emil Setiawan

We had an excellent experience with Swati. She was thorough in her analysis, detailed in her recommendations, and made the customer experience enjoyable. We recommend Swati without reservation. P. Pathak

Very easy to work with, friendly, good communicator. Made selling an easy and stress free experience. Kevin Cooney

Swati was amazing! We cannot recommend her highly enough. She was incredibly patient with us, taking us through all the steps of purchasing a new home in Oak Park. She is an expert in all things Oak Park, but also very attentive to her client's needs. We were looking for a home to build our family, but also wanted to be close to public transit and within walking distance to parks and restaurants. She tailored her showings to really meet our needs and she was extremely considerate about our time constraints given that we had a baby. More than anything, I really appreciated how thoughtful and frank she was in her feedback and how professionally she managed negotiations on our behalf. We love our new home and we are looking forward to creating great memories. We have Swati to thank for all this and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home, condo, townhouse, etc. G. Gracia

At the start of our home-buying process, I sent Swati an unnecessarily-panicked message requesting her help. Unbeknownst to me, she was in the middle of running a 200-mile, 2-day marathon relay. No problem, I'd probably hear from her in a day or two when she was rested and recovered. But no, she somehow was able to send me a response, with detailed market data, FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE RACE! I know that sounds like something you'd see in an over-the-top ad about a Real Estate Superhero, but it really happened! I was not a first-time buyer, and with all of today's Internet tools, I initially figured I wouldn't have much need for a full-service buyer's agent this time around. But wow, in retrospect, I sure was wrong, and we would have had a much more difficult (and potentially costly) experience without Swati's knowledge, support, and guidance. Whether it was her human insight vastly improving a computer-generated market analysis, her sidewalk therapy sessions calming my unexpected emotional surges down back to their normal android-like level, or her sure and steady advice when negotiating our final deal, we would have been adrift without Swati's help. I tend to be an extreme do-it-yourselfer with almost everything in life, because I find that I can quickly teach myself to do things close to (or even above) the level of many so-called "professionals". And I'm sure we could have ended up with an agent who would have made me gripe about why we didn't just carry that philosophy into home-buying. But luckily, we had Swati on our side, where not only does the word "professional" fully and truly apply, but people might even be talking about "hall of fame" someday soon... N/A

Swati was great to work with. She was very responsive and thorough. What we appreciated most was the lack of any pressure. She would even steer us clear of over priced real estate even though it would mean a larger commission for her. We trusted and valued her advice. Excellent knowledge base and very enjoyable to work with. We would recommend her without reservation. K. Lucas

Highly responsive. It was a lot of work to stage my own condo, but Swati made sure to sell it before end of the first week. Fast sale in a time where others are on the market for 300 days. Jason Rochon

We could not be happier with the experience of working with Swati. She was very strategic in selling our home. She was a great listener and very resourceful in terms of arranging the contractor logistics as well as investing the appropriate amount of money in order to market the house. The negotiations went well and the closing went very smoothly. B. Walke

Swati is truly a pleasure to work with. We bought and sold with her. She is highly resourceful, knows the neighborhoods really well and has answers to all questions. She is extremely professional, patient and caring. I cannot recommend her enough! S. M.

Swati was very helpful in all areas, especially when issues arose that she had to handle for us as we were already out of town. She was an amazing asset and glad she was on our team! Bart Brooks

Swati was consistently professional, patient, and kind throughout our unusually complicated home sale process. She demonstrates the depth of her experience and truly went above and beyond all expectations to provide education and support as needed. I couldn't have found a better agent, in the full sense of the word. I will recommend her to any Oak Park buyer or seller without reservation. Amy Rouse Ho

Swati Saxena was an incredible realtor for my family. She helped us through the emotional process of getting our house on the market and saying goodbye to years of memories as well as helping us find the perfect house for our combined and new family. She helped navigate through all the pieces of the selling process as well as buying process. We appreciated all of our thorough communication. It was a pleasure and easy working with Swati. We will definitely recommend her to anyone in the market to buy or sell. Corinna Schroeder

Swati was great. I felt very confident going in to this process with her despite issues I'd had over the years trying to buy in Oak Park with other realtors. Tiffany Martinelli

Swati is an excellent agent. She consistently goes above and beyond. She's knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and I feel that I can really trust her. I would confidently recommend her to my friends. Shannon Kazyak

Swati is amazing to work with! Her hands-on approach leaves the owner without any worries as she applies her dedicated passion to each project and listing. We love having her as our agent and feel as though she's an extended partner of our team! She truly represents Baird & Warner at an elevated level. Tim O'connor

Swati was incredible! Her professional expertise and her soothing manner are like an emotional salve when dealing with a real estate market that has not worked in your favour, as it was for us. She stood steadfast in her guidance of us through a very emotional process connected to the sale of our first home, while beautifully accommodating our personal preferences (and demands!) without judgement, and with customer service perfection. But that is just her way! Her sweetness is intertwined with her professionalism in such a way that you don't know where one begins and the other ends. She personifies above and beyond, several times over. We are fortunate and deeply grateful to have had her assistance and expertise in the process, and would recommend her without reservation. T. Pai

We had an outstanding experience with Swati - extremely professional and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her, especially if you're looking for a home in the Oak Park area. Swati was highly recommended from a social media group and though we interviewed other seemingly good candidates, after our candidate interview, we chose Swati and we do not regret it. Her presentation of potential homes was beyond my expectation - and presentation is a big deal for me! She was well organized and always responsive, which I appreciate. She helped identify homes that would work for our family needs and was not shy about giving her recommendations, which was helpful. To the very end, Swati was amazing - thinking of things we never would have thought of, even after we moved in. Neeketta Reed

Swati, just a note of thanks for all you (and Brooks!) did for us in finding our new home, and helping us get settled! You’ve been incredibly generous, and we truly appreciate all you’ve done. We’re eager to recommend you to others looking for a realtor! Hope to see you around Oak Park/River Forest! C P & J P

From list to close, Swati did an amazing job of selling my condo. She priced it right and we had an offer in 48 hours. She was there each step of the way and made a difficult time so much easier. Tiffany Martinelli

Dearest Swati, Thank you for your tireless efforts to find us a home. It turned out to be a crazy ride, but with a happy ending! :)We could not have done it without all your hard work, counsel, positive attitude and commitment to us.We enjoyed searching for homes with you and appreciate that you took us to so many in so many different areas, while being so patient until we decided on a location. You are a ROCK STAR agent![AS and GT] AS & GT

Dearest Swati, I felt it was time to send you a heartfelt handwritten thank you note. I can't express my gratitude for all you've done for me during the few months I've known you. From helping me find my condo, to supporting me through the process of purchasing and moving, to helping me make my place feel like home, you have been remarkably wonderful and generous. Thank you for your guidance and friendship, as well as the thoughtful gifts [....]! May the kindness you've shown to me return to you in the same generous and beautiful way it was given.Sincerely, [M. H.] M H

Swati is simply the best. Always professional, always personable. She knows the market, and she is always prepared to make the process of buying/selling a home smoother. Swati was recommended to my wife and I by two friends of ours that were former clients. I said to myself, "Well, if Swati can make both ____ and ____ happy, she must be something." She is, and I frankly think anyone would consider themselves fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her. I know that we were. In the end, Swati is the type of professional that will help you make a better decision than you would have otherwise, all while instilling a sense of confidence--both in her as an agent and in you as the client making the decision to buy or sell. In a transaction as emotion-packed as buying or selling a home, that ability is worth its weight in in the precious metal of your choice. Kalnitz

Swati was helpful both in finding a home as well as navigating the process from offer to closing. She understood what we were looking for, and didn't pressure us to move on a property just to make a sale. Matt Farley

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Swati. She is the best for sure! So patient and kind. She listened to our wants and entertained our thoughts about every home we were interested in...even the not so great ones. She was never pushy. Anyone can tell from working with her that she genuinely cares about her clients and their families. We so appreciate her for that. All in all, we would not have been first time homeowners without her! Deanna Barnes

Swati is a great listener! She is such a positive person. She offered very specific helpful advice to sell our house but listened to our needs and concerns. She was always a text or call away and I really appreciated all her guidance through the process of staging & selling our first home. She is patient and I felt more relaxed knowing she was looking out for our best interests.She knows the Oak Park market very well. I highly recommend her as an agent. Anonymous

Swati was excellent. We live in Texas, so it was definitely a concern trying to sell an old property in Illinois. But Swati was on top of everything, helping us get it listed, get it shown, get it sold, and get it closed. We couldn't be happier. Chris Noble

Swati did a great job advising me on pricing and was able to bring in a great offer in less than a week. Swati is very responsive and helpful at every step of the process. Great experience - I highly recommend Swati's services. Brenda Treml

Swati is just wonderful. She went above and beyond in our case by dealing with our existing tenants who were very difficult, but yet helping us identify great new ones. She was tactful, responsive and extremely professional. I would highly recommend Swati Sujay Sharma

Swati is an amazing realtor. She creates an immediate sense of ease upon initial consult regarding putting one's home on the market. Her knowledge of the market and ways to maximize your home's selling potential are excellent resources to have and she makes herself available at all hours of the day. She recognizes the emotional aspect of selling one's home too which helps make the transition a much easier one. Overall, her skill set and personality make her one of the best realtors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is an expert through and through and goes far and beyond to make your experience a positive and enjoyable one. Erik Weitz

Swati is a great realtor who embodies sharp business acumen and great personality. She is keen on ensuring her clients are completely satisfied with their real estate decision and will push herself towards achieving that goal. She is a top-tier professional who is not happy just pushing the transaction through, but works tirelessly to tailor the experience to suit her clients needs. I'd recommend her to anyone in the market - buying or selling. Sandeep M.

Swati is an excellent agent and has been extremely helpful & knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I am even more impressed and grateful that Swati has continued to help me as we've had post-closing issues with the sellers. She could have stepped away since the closing is over but instead she continues to check in with me and help get these final issues sorted. Swati is an amazing agent who I highly recommend to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home. Punj G.

I could not recommend Swati highly enough! Anonymous

My overall experience with Swati was excellent and I would use her in the sale or purchase of my next home and would recommend Baird and Warner and Swati to my friends and family. Dennis M
