TESTIMONIALS
Real Clients. Real Stories.
"Elliot and team were excellent - great local knowledge of the market, highly adept at the negotiation process as we made our offer and generally v responsive and supportive throughout. I've been recommending them to anyone moving to the Boca / Delray area."
Gloria and Jack S.
"Elliot, Wendy, and their impressive team helped me sell my home, buy a new house and rent a lovely place while my new home was being renovated. They provided highly personalized services that made the transactions and transitions seamless. Truly a class act and a team I would both use again and not hesitate to recommend to my inner circle in the future."
Dan N.
"We were introduced to Elliot by some friends of ours that live in Woodfield. Elliot was unbelievably good, not just good. He found us an off-market rental, and then he found us an off-market house to buy. Our initial concerns were how do we wrestle this down and make sure we can get the house we want to buy, especially in a market like this. His strategies around all of that were A+, and he made sure we were able to find the home we wanted."
Robert & Jennifer T.
"They are very personable and caring, but most of all they’re genuine. They truly care about their clients. They were really really focused and compassionate on helping me find the right home."

"When asked how happy I was when I worked with Wendy and Elliot, the answer is: simply overjoyed. When I first saw the townhouse I purchased it was at the suggestion of my daughter, who had previewed it first. At her prompting, I made an appointment to view it and I fell in love immediately. Wendy was wonderful, always there, giving the right suggestion and not too overpowering to make the sale. Once the terms were agreed upon, Elliot came and made the process a smooth and non stressful experience. I have purchased many homes in the past, none as easy as this was. I am certain that when I am ready to purchase again, the Koolik's will hear from me. "

"I worked with Elliot Koolik and staff when I sold my home in October 2019 and most recently to buy a new home. They really listen and understand their client's needs and within a couple of weeks, they helped me find my dream home! Elliot, Wendy, Steve, and Evelin were always available to answer any questions I might have and made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend The Koolik Group whether you are selling or buying a home - they are great to work with!"
Alice D.
"Our search for a great home came to fruition only because of the sage-like advice proffered by the multi-generational Koolik group. They advised us that our geographic area was too limited and they were correct. We greatly appreciated their guidance and experience and love our new house."
David and Tamara K.
"I feel so fortunate to have worked with The Koolik Group while searching for and purchasing my new home in Woodfield Country Club. The team is composed of seasoned and knowledgeable professionals, who are also warm, personable, and extremely responsive. They understood and delivered on my needs and guided me every step of the way, making the purchase process as smooth as possible. My children and I are absolutely in love with our new home! Thank you again to Elliot Koolik and The Koolik Group team for being such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this group to anyone searching for a new home."
Amy N.
"Elliot Koolik and the Koolik Group staff are really fabulous! Elliot recently sold my home within a few days after listing it! He is dedicated and passionate about what he does - extremely knowledgeable and explained everything to me regarding every aspect of a real estate transaction. He and his team were so supportive, always available to answer any and all questions - they kept me informed every step of the way and promptly dealt with any issues that arose during the process, giving great advice, for which I was very grateful. It was truly a pleasure working with Elliot - I was so happy with my experience that I am now working with him to buy a new home!"

"I used the Koolik at Compass to sell my house in Cambridge Park, a subdivision of Woodfield Country Club. The main advantage which I believe the group brings to bear to selling a house is the group effort. I had a team working to sell my house which meant multiple people showed my house to both male and female agents, which provided recommendations from both a male viewpoint and a female viewpoint on how best to show my house. Also, I had a point of contact (POC) to call with my questions – an office manager that was always available to answer my questions and provide information. I could call the agent showing the house but if the agent was showing another house, they might be able to answer your questions at that time, whereas the POC – office manager was always available. Furthermore, every agent after showing my house sent a text message on the results of the showing and the impressions of the prospective buyer, which was helpful feedback during the selling process. I was very happy and pleased with the service The Koolik Group at Compass provided in selling my house."
John P.
"Elliot Koolik and his team at The Koolik Group at Compass helped guide us in a very complex transaction like no other Real Estate Agency could or would. We purchased a home that was in the final stages of a 2-year gut renovation with 3 months till completion. Lots of things could have gone wrong. But they didn’t! The professionals who work at The Koolik Group at Compass got us across the finish line. I don’t think you could find a company with more experience anywhere in our market."
Jeff and Susan T.
"The entire Team at the Koolik Group made the purchase of our first home a very easy process to navigate through. Everyone was extremely professional, efficient, and, most of all, always looking after our best interests throughout the entire process. Amazing job! Thank you."
Rui G.
"Elliot and Wendy were so thorough, despite the fact that only two buildings truly matched my husband and my criteria for our next home, the Kooliks still looked at every building in case of hidden gems. They didn’t want to miss a thing. The Kooliks are truly outstanding- everything they do is outstanding. They kept me organized and focused and never wasted any time. They did their homework. They knew every detail about a property before we even walked in. Elliot and Wendy are people you can trust- what they’re gonna tell you is the truth. After over thirty years of experience, they know better than anybody about this real estate market. They have an amazing reputation, and they more than live up to it. They are wonderful people to work with, and wonderful people to know. They are intelligent and great negotiators, but most importantly, in this market, they are the best."
Dale P.
"The overall experience was simply great. From the quick response when I called Elliot to negotiate a higher than list price to assist with cleaning out and moving the contents of the house to close, all went incredibly smoothly. In particular, having the all-inclusive services of Sandy really made a big difference in making this process manageable. I really have very little in the way of constructive advice to give since it was pretty much flawless. If anything, maybe just having someone from Koolik more involved in the closing process could be helpful for older people or people less financially oriented. I did not find anything lacking, but having to deal with the closing process could be a little intimidating to some. Sorry, can’t say much when it went so well."
Steven O.
"Elliot's really good at what he does, and he's a very considerate, kind person. He and his team laid out all of the steps to make the process easier for me. Elliot is a great guy, and he has a great team to back him up. I would give five stars to everyone working with the Kooliks."
