"We really appreciated Gary's patience and expertise in the real estate market. Gary was excellent at keeping us on track and focused. He was able to successfully guide us through all aspects of selling our home which was accomplished from listing to … closing in 30 days. His suggestions for getting our house prepared were just what was needed and no more. In one case, he recommended we steam clean our carpet where other realtors had suggested we replace it. We took his advice on many things and our house sold for over asking price.Gary was always on hand for any questions or concerns we had. (Priscilla, you're the best!). In addition, he and Priscilla worked very hard to find our next place. We now live in one of those homes. It was a FULL circle of service! We will defintely use Gary again and will recommend him to friends and family. Thanks so very much! Marty and Rosie"
"Gary made my first time home buying experience amazing. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, and not pushy in the slightest like some other agents I had spoken with. Most importantly, he listens! He not only helped me negotiate on the price of the home,… but also did a lot of hand holding throughout the entire process, offering sound advice every step of the way. By doing so he ensured that I was not being taken advantage of, and that we were happy with our final decision. As difficult of an experience as the sellers agent tried to make it, Gary countered on our behalf repeatedly, giving us confidence that we definitely chose the right guy for the job. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone looking to buy a new home."
"Extremely professional skills not only negotiation. I received very good advice before putting my home on the market. All the time available, easy to talk. This stressful time for me he made easy and smooth. I’m highly recommend him for everyone who … plans to buy or sell the property. I’m so happy with result. Thank you so much Gary and your team!"
"Fantastic Agent and Amazing Person! We were incredibly fortunate to have met Gary, especially since we were inexperienced and first time home buyers. He gave us a very thorough introduction and explanation to the home buying game, and he landed our … dream home in this very competitive market in 2021 . He is, hands down, an incredible strategist when it comes to putting in offers - he uses his well connected resources, effectively communicates to all parties, and is a great coach for approaching offers. When we went through escrow, he went above and beyond for us - he thoroughly reviewed our inspections, negotiated for credit where it was due, and guided us through the endless amounts of first time learning experiences.Highly recommended, enormously thankful, and happily enjoying our new home!"
"Patient, knowledgeable and overall great to deal with. Worked with Gary on both home buy and sells and always happy to work with him. This is the second time we sold a house with him."
"When you need to sell the house, not by choice, and you have to deal with lawyers, your ex, market demands and nobody else is helping you, Mr Gary Aver was there for me every step of the process.His recommendations and input helped me to achieve the … results I was happy with.Highly recommend him to sell or to buy your dream home."
"I had a great home buying experience with Gary. He provided deep knowledge of current real-estate market and answered all my questions from top of his head. Gary was very patient, attentive and flexible for all my requests and changing requirements … while searching for a property. He had excellent advises and recommendations for all related items, people and process steps that saved me time and money. Thanks to his negotiation skills i was able to beat other buyers and buy perfect new home for a fair price. Highly recommended!"
"I found Gary excellent real estate agent. He is very knowledgeable, polite. He helped me selling my residence at Arlington Heights, Illinois in short period of time. II will strongly recommend him."
"As a first time Buyer, choosing (and trusting) the right agent wad paramount for me - especially in this hot pro-Seller market. Gary dedicated an immense amount of time for.multiple visits to multiple locations/suburbs, listened to what I was looking… for, gave suggestions when I needed them and steered me in the best possible direction. As a first time Buyer I relied very heavily on Gary's advise and expertise and we successfully closed on time for me. Could not have had a more positive experience and I would - without any hesitation - recommend Gary to my family and friends either for a first home, or a next home."
"Gary Aver helped me to buy my condo. He is the best, and his company and his team are the best in Chicago area. Very professional, very nice, experienced and helpful. Highly recommend !!!"

Accessibility Statement

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
