Ana & James, Chicago, IL, a buyer from Chicago, IL
We couldn't have asked for a better agent for the purchase of our first home. Sarah expertly guided us through every step of the process and gave us advice for attending showings and making the most of our search. She understood our needs and provided an incredibly helpful extra set of eyes when looking at properties, often seeing things that we missed. Her communication and professionalism were outstanding - the seller's agent in our purchase remarked on how Sarah's expediency was one of the main reasons our offer was accepted. Sarah made herself available whenever we needed her and answered all our questions even after closing day. We would recommend her to family, friends, or anyone looking to sell/purchase a home. We will definitely work with her again!
Communication was excellent! Professional and knowledgeble, patient and accessible. Fulton Grace is a great agency to work with!
Ed and Betty Scarimbolo , a seller from Addison, IL
After Sarah had the FOR SALE/COMING SOON sign installed on the lawn, there were multiple offers and the house was SOLD before hitting the market! No Open Houses, extra work, photos, etc... SOLD!
After signing with Sarah to represent us to the day of closing the deal, the process was complete in 45 days! We couldn't believe how quickly our house sold, thanks to Sarahs guidance, knowledge and responsiveness.
Amy Scott, Plainfield, a buyer from Plainfield, IL
We were so impressed with Sarah's knowledge of the market, negotiating skills, and overall professionalism. She was always available to answer our questions and provide us with clear and concise information. She helped us through the home buying process step-by-step, making sure that we were comfortable and informed at every stage. We were particularly grateful for her patience as we looked at 50 homes and put in 8 offers, never feeling rushed through the process. We couldn't have done it without Sarah's help, and we're so grateful for her expertise and guidance. She helped us find the perfect home for our needs and budget. If you're looking for a great realtor, we highly recommend Sarah!
Meghan Duggan. West Chicago, IL , a buyer from West Chicago, IL
Sarah made our house purchasing process so easy! Sarah was attentive to every detail and diligent in getting us the most accurate information at all times. Sarah is a top producer for a reason and approaches her work to the highest standard. She truly is a master in her field. We highly recommend Sarah Koroll for your future home purchase (or rent) journey.
Joe Chopek, Streamwood IL, a seller from Streamwood, IL
Sarah helped us to find our home in Chicago so she was the obvious choice to help us sell. She did an exceptional job helping us buy and she did not disappoint during the selling process. Due to a change in work locations mid-summer, we needed to sell, find a place in Ohio and move in short order so we could start the school year in Ohio or come as close to that as possible. Sarah knew the situation, said it was no problem and did not disappoint. She came with an exceptionally well-prepared game plan including an in depth analysis of market trends in our area (present and historic), current available inventory, comparisons with other properties in our neighborhood and accurate information as to how the market was performing for sellers. She offered excellent advice as we developed our pricing strategy and asked great questions allowing us to make sure we considered all possibilities before settling on a final listing price.
Sarah's marketing campaign was incredible. She directed a photo and video shoot of our house that made it look like it was in a magazine. She was meticulous in every detail of the listing process from the 'coming soon' post to the photos and videos to the open houses and walk throughs. She did not miss a single thing. We listed on a Thursday and had multiple above ask offers by Sunday afternoon. I am convinced that this was a direct reflection of her hard work, attention to detail and meticulous preparation.
Sarah is an absolute professional who is relatable, easy to talk to and knows her stuff inside and out. Her communication is timely, accurate and leaves no questions. If you need her, she is there. Often she was ahead of us letting us know about things and what she had already done to take care of them.
Everyone from the d'aprile office that Sarah had help us was extremely professional and took great care of us. We even had a few delays from our relocation company and the d'aprile team was able to make some calls and to get things sped up significantly. A great team that provides great service!
If we could only use Sarah as our realtor going forward we absolutely would. We have recommended her to friends and family and have had friends use her services who were also satisfied. She and the d'aprile team made what was a stressful time with a short turn around work move go as smoothly as humanly possible and my family and I are extremely grateful to them for that.
Honestly, I cannot think of anything that Sarah or the d'aprile team could have done better. They worked diligently to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. And, when they were able, they went above and beyond to push paperwork ahead so we could list and sell ahead of schedule. We listed on a Thursday afternoon and had multiple above ask offers by Sunday afternoon. It was incredible! And, the listing of the house was amazing!
Both my wife and I have bought and sold homes several times in our lives and Sarah is by far the best realtor either of us have come across. We have and will continue to recommend her to friends and family. She is definitely all pro in every aspect of the real estate game!!
Working with Sarah Koroll exceeded our expectations. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She turned our dreams of owning our first home into a reality with professionalism, poise, and grace. Most notably Sarah helped us navigate a complex and erratic market, offering us guidance and never letting us lose hope. We are so grateful to have worked with her on our journey to homeownership. Sarah's expertise is truly unparalleled and we would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor. We couldnt have done it without you Sarah!
Sarah made the home buying process a breeze. I would love to continue to stay connected with her. Shes always been so incredibly inviting and involved in this big step in our lives. I appreciated her attention to detail and all the the facts about Lombard she shared with me over the years. I would recommend her time and time again. She is truly a fantastic realtor!
Sarah was amazing to work with! In today's market, she really helped us stand out to other offers the sellers had. We appreciate all her time! We highly recommend using Sarah if buying or selling a home!
Sarah is the absolute best to work with! This was my first time selling a property so I was nervous. Sarah instantly made me feel at ease. She is responsive, hard working and gets things done! After only three days on the market, we had multiple offers. She went above and beyond by walking me through the process and being readily available to answer questions and discuss all of my options. I could not have navigated this on my own and I am so thankful she was my realtor.
Everett, Andrea and Noelle Hemphill , a seller from Wadsworth, IL

Cesar & Raissa, West Chicago, a buyer from West Chicago, IL
We worked with Sarah as first time home buyers, and we could not have imagined a better experience. She was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and patient as we navigated a cutthroat housing market facing multiple bid offers at every turn. Without her dedication and persistence I don't know that we would have finally gotten our dream property. We would highly recommend working with Sarah as a realtor.
Back in 2017 I had an amazing experience with Sarah Koroll's services. Due to that experience I wanted to use her expertise again. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, this experience was even better than last time. This is a testament to Sarah's expertise, knowledge and passion. She loves what she does and it shows. She's the best Realtor and Only Realtor I will work with. She's wicked smart, savy and professional. She genuinely cares about what's best for YOU. Sarah is amazing and she helped us find our Dream home. She will always have an open invitation to our home and family. I cannot write any stronger recommendation than this, you will NOT be disappointed with Sarah.
Daniela J - Frankfort, Il. , a buyer from Frankfort, IL
We needed someone with patience to help first time home-buyers. Someone who was kind, experienced, quick and knowledgeable. Sarah Koroll was extremely patient and personable. She gave us the best advice and spent a substantial amount of time answering each question we asked her in great detail. She never once made us feel bad about the little amount of knowledge we had and when we needed advice - she gave us great, professional advice.
We had a great experience with, Sarah. My husband and I plan to buy more real estate in the future and plan to use Sarah again. She is a great individual and we loved working with her. We can't say enough great things about her!
Ken Dillenkoffer, Bartlett, IL, a buyer from Bartlett, IL
Working with Sarah was a wonderful experience. Sarah took us to close to 75 listings, over a two year period, before we found "the one". Not once did Sarah complain or show frustration with us as buyers. Sarah showed up on time to every single appointment with a smile on her face. Sarah's patience, professionalism and industry/market knowledge are some of her best attributes. Sarah will be our realtor for life and we'll be passing her name along to anyone we know who is looking to buy or sell in the Chicago-land Market. - Ken & Heather
Shannon Hill, Bolinbrook, a buyer from Bolingbrook, IL
Sarah handled everything well. She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, responsive to emails/calls, detail oriented, and friendly.
She spent a lot of time with us as we tried to find our dream home in a fast paced market, and ultimately succeeded; checking all of our boxes.
Sarah was easy to work with and more than competent. She put our selling agent to shame (we wouldve used her for both if it had been an option!)
We would definitely seek her out for future transactions and recommend her highly!
I have used Sarah Koroll for years now for any real estate need. She has been consistent in her professionalism, knowledge, and accessibility for questions/showings. I have referred her to friends and family and will continue to in the future.
Thank you Sarah!
Sarah was extremely professional and the absolute best! We were referred to Sarah through a friend over a year ago when we began thinking about moving. She stuck with us, checking in on how we were doing and if we were ready to sell for over a year! She answered all our questions and concerns and was extremely patient with us! When we were finally ready to go ahead and put our house on the market, she kept open lines of communication with us throughout the entire process. Sarah was always prepared and was extremely knowledgeable. During the pandemic, she made sure that not only was our house safe to show to others but that we also were safe upon arrival at viewings. Sarah gave us amazing advice on how to stage our home for photos and showings, I truly believe thanks to her advice and knowledge she is the reason we sold our house in three days! Sarah is the best of the best and I would refer her to anyone looking to buy and/or sell their home!
Mark Paulsen, Glen Ellyn, a buyer from Palatine, IL

Michael DiRienzo, Lombard, IL, a seller from Lombard, IL
Sarah was extremely professional, never failed to show up prepared and able to answer any of my questions. I had an offer within two days of listing the house.

Colin and Kristine Gray, 356 N La Londe, a seller from Lombard, IL
Sarah is the best- she is professional and kept communication lines open at all times. During the pandemic, Sarah took steps to make sure sanitary measures were taken. She provided gloves and booties for people to use while looking at our home.
Mike Azzaretto, Hoffman Estates, IL. , a buyer from Hoffman Estates, IL
Sarah Koroll was AMAZING. She is fun, extremely knowledgeable and professional. This was our first house buying experience and we asked Sarah for her opinion often. She helped guide us the whole way through the process and was far above our expectations. We can't thank her enough and feel so blessed to have her be apart of our home buying experience. We will be referring her to everyone we know buying houses.
Nicola Razniewski, Schaumburg, a buyer from Schaumburg, IL
My husband and I had started thinking about getting back into a house. Since there was no rush for us the process unfolded over several months. From our initial research gathering stage to finding a home and then closing, Sarah was patient with us and was always there when we needed her. She made us feel comfortable through the whole process. No matter what we asked, she was professional, approachable and knowledgeable. And, patiently waited as we were mulling over at showings into the late evening hours.
For me, response time is huge and Sarah was amazing. You never had to wonder if she was going to get back to you. Once you close, she is not the sort of person to dump you and run. She cares about her clients and their success in the new home. If I ever buy or sell again, she is my agent. We loved having her!
We have already recommended her to friends and family who are using her. Thanks Sarah!!!!
Russell Evans, Bartlett, a buyer from Bartlett, IL
Sarah was extremely flexible and always available when I needed her, even with last minute requests to see houses. Here timely communication was spot on and she was extremely helpful in all aspects of my relocation. I recommend Sarah to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area.
Sarah made the home buying and selling process quick and easy. I ask a lot of questions, maybe too many, but Sarah had an answer each time, responded quickly, and provided me with information to consider that I had not even thought of.
She took excellent pictures of my house that helped the property get under contract in less than a week!
She was patient in our home search process, showing us over 20 properties without hesitation. She was always available when we needed her.
I hope our recent purchase is our forever home, but if I am in the market again I am calling her. I strongly recommend Sarah for anyone looking to buy, sell or rent.
I have known Sarah for 2 years, she is detailed and organized. We started looking at homes and she was quick to provide us information for homes. Once we had the home of you choice she was quick to get offer in for us. I would email or text her all times of the day or night and she would always respond with any question my husband or I had. She makes buying a home a piece of cake. I would recommend her for any family member or friend. She is the best Realtor!
Our closing was in October and we love our new home.

Joe Chopek, Streamwood, IL, a buyer from Streamwood, IL
My family and I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a new home through Sarah Koroll of Century 21 Affiliates as we moved from the East Coast to the greater Chicago-land area. As our move was a job-related relocation, the process took several months. Sarah was outstanding. She was diligent during the process and provided exceptional advice, information and support throughout. She was always available anytime my wife or I had any questions and she always provided sound guidance. She went above and beyond as she helped us to meet with home improvement contractors for several repairs and improvements we wanted to do to our new home. She made us feel like the most important people in the world and was always positive. When it came time to visit potential homes, she coordinated a three-day tour across three towns during which we visited 30 plus homes. She was extremely organized and provided honest feedback and advice as we worked our way through the list. After we found the home of our dreams, she helped us with research about some permitting questions that came up and was able to track down the answers via the local government. The process was easy and I attribute much of that to Sarahs diligence. I have already recommended her to two work colleagues and will continue to pass her contact information to anyone that I know is buying or selling in this area. She is a cut above the rest and will absolutely be our realtor going forward. A true real estate professional, my family and I cannot recommend her highly enough she really took care of us and always had our best interests first. If you are buying or selling in the Chicago area, she should be your first call!
I was put in charge of my uncles estate. Being out of town I was unable to fully participate in the sale of his home. Sarah handled all aspects of the sale of the home. Her response to any questions and concerns was prompt and professional. She communicated by phone, email, and text clearly and responded quickly. After the first showing, my uncles house had 7offers, all above the asking price. The sale was quick and easy for me due to Sarahs expertise. She exceeded my expectations.

Keith Breitenbach, South Elgin, IL, a buyer from Sycamore, IL
Sarah helped my parents sell an existing home and purchase their next home. It was a difficult situation with much emotion and uncertainty on the part of my parents. From the first meeting, my parents concerns were eased and Sarahs style and approach made them feel as comfortable as possible. Sarah was exceptional at listening to needs and wants and balancing that with honest and clear guidance when appropriate, while providing the necessary facts and information that allowed them to make the best decisions for themselves. Communication throughout the process was excellent and Sarah was always reachable. The whole experience working with Sarah was amazing and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend working with Sarah for any and all of your real estate needs. 2018
Sarah Koroll was courteous, professional and a pleasure to work with. Sarah was always available to us and she made the home search and purchase a pleasurable experience. 2018
Kelly & Patrick - Streamwood, IL , a buyer from Streamwood, IL
Sarah Koroll was recommended to us by my college roommate who is a realtor in Iowa and had used her for a previous client. Sarah was a great fit for us.
As first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions and concerns. Sarah was always quick to answer them. Whenever we asked for her opinion on things, she wasn't afraid to tell us.
Once we were under contract, Sarah went above and beyond to help with scheduling vendors to come and give expert opinions on parts of the house.
We closed on our house at the beginning of June and she still answers emails from us.
We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sarah to friends and or family looking to sell or purchase a home. She was wonderful during this whole process and we couldn't have done it without her.
Sarah Koroll was a dream realtor to work with through every step of the home buying process. As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and Sarah patiently answered every single one of them. She also brings with her a wealth of experience and knowledge, and has reputable recommendations for every service you could need. Sarah showed us approximately 30 houses and made herself available on short notice. She never made us feel pressured to settle for a house just to make a sale in fact, her years of experience helped us identify potential issues with the homes that we never would have recognized by ourselves.
We went under contract on two different houses before finally landing on our third, and Sarah was absolutely terrific throughout the frustrating problems we faced with our first two contracts. We felt so incredibly comfortable with Sarah every step of the way. On top of being an extremely savvy realtor, she is a terrific person with a great personality. There are no words to describe how amazing working with Sarah was even this raving review doesnt seem good enough! We would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to buy or sell a home you will not be disappointed! 2018
Sarah is a pleasure to work with. She is super knowlageable and on top of the industry. I have referred Sarah to family and friends and will continue in the future. 2017
Sarah was absolutely amazing. Made the home buying experience enjoyable. She walked us through different houses and brought things to my attention I never would have thought of. I am thankful for her.
Best agent I have ever worked with. 2017
Tracy Long, Woodridge, IL, a buyer from Gurnee, IL
This is the 2nd time that I've worked with Sarah. I couldn't recommend her more highly. After my first experience working with her to find my rental when relocating from PA, I knew there was no one else that I wanted to work with. Sarah is so personable and knowledgeable about the home buying process. I hope she is still in the business in 10 years because we will be using her to help sell our home when we retire and relocate back to PA. We love Sarah!!! 2017
My family sincerely appreciates Sarah Koroll's, hard work and dedication demonstrated throughout our home buying process! We knew that Sarah was a perfect match for us when she immediately responded to our initial email (within 5 minutes) with a phone call; stating that she'd be happy to assist us in finding the home we desired during our Military transition from California to Illinois. She impressed us especially with detailed correspondence, no matter what time of day or night...she answered questions, emailed paperwork, etc. It was an added bonus for us to learn that Sarah, had experience with lenders such as USAA and VA, etc. Sarah, you're a true client advocate, and a wonderful negotiator that's well connected to the community. We highly recommend you to future Home Buyer's, Renter's or Seller's. You made our experience amazing! 2017
Louis + Stephanie + Aurora Shefner, a buyer from Aurora, IL
From the start of the home buying process Sarah made it clear who's interest she was representing, Ours. Sarah would do whatever it took to work with us to find our dream home. In short, Sarah is flexible, helpful, knowledgeable, professional. If I ever need to sell or look for another home; I know who I want to deal with. Sarah was extremely helpful in regards to the overall process, and attention to detail on the properties we were looking at. Sarah was thorough with reviews of the properties before we arrived. She made everything easy and smooth. We would not have found the home we did if it were not for Sarah.
In short, Sarah was amazing. Always available when we needed her, easy to talk to. Felt like talking with a friend a lot of the time, which made communications with her so much smoother. She was always prompt to tell us any information we needed, and made sure we were clear about documents and reminded us if we forgot to do something. Sarah is with the times and makes the document signing process a breeze too with all the tools she brings to the table. I cannot reiterate enough how much Sarah Koroll means to our family. 2017
Mike and Lisa Piskule, Wadsworth, IL, a seller from Wadsworth, IL
It was, again, a wonderful experience working with a Sarah! We came full circle buying and selling our first home with her. She was beyond professional and meticulous with each and every detail in the process. Sarah truly went above and beyond for our family. She would return phone calls and emails promptly, and worked hard to answer all of our questions. It is evident that Sarah not only has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the real estate market, but that she truly loves her work. We can't say enough wonderful things about our second experience with Sarah, and our family is truly grateful for all of her support through the process. 2016
