"Doug was one of the most professional, efficient, honest agents I have ever worked with! I have bought and sold 10 homes and offices, and it was a pleasure to work with Doug. He listened to our concerns and input and made me feel comfortable with his plan which was important since I am 1,000 miles away!" — Elizabeth Stevenson
"We were looking to purchase a unique income property in River North and we found Doug after speaking with several other less experienced agents who simply couldn't grasp the economic concepts involved. Doug devised a negotiating strategy that resulted in us getting the property we wanted at a price below our expectations!!! Throughout the process Doug was organized and proactively managed everyone involved - lenders, lawyers, and associations - in order to get us from contract to closing in less than a month! We have bought and sold dozens of properties over the years and Doug is among the best, most professional, and most knowledgeable realtors we have used. We will not buy or sell another city property without Doug's involvement!" — Barry and Heather
"Do not settle for second best. In my many years of buying and selling homes, Doug is quite simply the most preeminent agent that I have ever used. He has impressive market knowledge, an amiable disposition, and a tenacious approach to his work. I look forward to working with him again." — Bill T.
"Doug did a tremendous job for us. He followed through on everything, kept us informed along the way and guided us through the entire process.

We can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him." — Jill Belconis and Steve Aschkenase

"Doug Harter is simply the best!! My husband I had been looking for a condo in Marina City for quite sometime. We wanted a specific location in order to achieve the best view. Doug was patient and kept looking and sending us options until we found what we wanted.

He is enthusiastic, professional and all in all a pleasure to be around. We highly recommend Doug!" — Waleska and John

"Doug was polished, confident, and knowledgeable from the start. He is very easy to contact and communicate with at pretty much all times. The whole process went fairly smoothly, seamlessly, and largely without flaw, from pricing and listing, to getting under contract within 48 hours (!!!), to keeping in contact with the seller's agent, to recommending great resources and people throughout the process, to closing at about a month's time. Would recommend without reservations for anyone buying/selling a home." — Stephanie Tsai
"Doug has been incremental in the entire process and an absolutely delight. I consider him to be my friend after this!" — Shawn Zheng
"I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to have had Doug represent during the sale of my condo. I worked with Doug during a relocation, and he made the entire process so easy and stress-free for me. My condo was a challenging sell due to the downturn in the downtown market after COVID. However, Doug was there for me every step of the way. He was always available to take my questions, and was so understanding of my concerns. He is very knowledgeable, and great at giving advice. Thank you Doug for making what could have been a very stressful process for me an enjoyable one!" — Jenna Harper
