Joe was incredible in helping me find my new home! That is the second time that I worked with him and his team. I would recommend him to anyone interested in detailed service, honest assessments of potential homes, and a committed advocate. He was incredibly knowledgeable and insightful about all the properties we looked at. Joe helped me to sell my house 4 years ago on very good terms and now I am buying the current one with his support. I would always highly recommend working with Joe and his team. Thank you!!
Joe helped me sell my house even with many obstacles the contractor put in our way. He stayed with me for the entire journey and was able to get above asking price for the house.
It was a wonderful experience working with Joe Zalabak and his team! Thanks to their help, we closed on a single family home in Urbana and we are happy with our new home! I would recommend him to anyone interested in detailed service, honest assessments of potential homes, and a committed advocate. Joe's advice, professionalism, and quick communication were much appreciated. With the team's help, we were able to identify the properties that best fit us and learn about home buying programs we qualified for. Across every level of the process, Joe and the team treated us with kindness and care! Thank you!
I highly recommend working with the Joe Zalabak team! Joe is an amazing realtor, and his team treated us like family! Joe helped us buy our first home, and guided us every step of the way.
Joe did a wonderful job helping us buy our home! Would definitely recommend anyone on his team! Very good at what they do. When our original lender didn't work out, Joe was right there to help us start and end the process with the new one. He did so much behind the scenes work, we never would have made it through without him!
Joe is exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. He sold several properties for us, one that had been on the market with other realtors for quite some time. Joe was responsive when we had questions; and his team is professional, courteous, and helpful. Kudos to Joe for getting our properties sold quickly.
I had the pleasure of working with Joe Zalabak as my real estate agent, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding service he provided throughout the entire home buying AND selling process. Joe and his team communicated with us every step of the way and made the process simple for us. He helped us find our dream home and was able to sell our previous home quickly! Joe has years of experience and knowledge with real estate, and it certainly shows! He worked around our work schedules to show us houses, and guided us every step of the way! I highly recommend using Joe and his team if you are looking to buy or sell!

I would recommend to the Zalabak team to anyone...they will give you whatever time you need to look at houses. They go above and beyond! It was such a pleasure working with Kymberley. I showed interest in looking at houses through Zillow and she was the first agent to respond, and within 24 hours. She set up at date and time to meet with her and to look at houses.I was given a folder with lots of handouts and paperwork that answered pretty much every question I had. She was with me every step of the way...from getting an inspector to helping find a mortgage officer at the bank.We drove all over town looking at houses. I told her sort of what I was looking for and she came up with a great list of houses! It only took 2 trips around town before I found my dream home. She was always available by email or text if I needed something or had a question.Not only is she professional, she is a very kind and honest person. She will work hard for you and listen to all of your needs. She even met with me the day that she got back from vacation so that I could do a final walk-through of the house!And I have to add that the assistant in the office, Kaitlyn, was emailing towards the closing date, keeping me in the know and making sure that I was doing my tasks that I needed to do to close.Many thanks to the team for helping a smooth and easy house-buying experience!
Kymberly (from Joe's team) was an exceptional real estate agent, and I cannot recommend her more highly! I bought my first home with Kymberly, and she was knowledgeable, supportive, a constant advocate, and very kind. When the seller pushed back, Kym helped me remain calm while advocating and negotiating like the pro that she is. She helped me understand and navigate the area, which was especially helpful because I have not lived in Urbana Champaign for very long. This experience could have been difficult, but it wasn't because of Kymberly.
