Home | Luca Lollino - Re/Max Properties Northwest

Welcome Home

Luca is pure Chicagoland. He grew up in Park Ridge, attended high school at Maine East, and graduated from Illinois Institute of Technology with an engineering degree. He lives in Chicago’s Northwest side and has come full circle as a Realtor at RE/MAX Properties Northwest in downtown Park Ridge.

Before becoming a Realtor, Luca was a structural engineer in Chicago where he developed and applied structural analysis, design calculation and consultative skills – a background that makes him uniquely familiar with the features of a well-built home. In addition, Luca is a property manager and literally wrote the book on renting: How to Find Tenants that will PAY, STAY, and OBEY: A Practical Guide for Simply and Effectively Screening Tenants for Your Residential Rental Unit.

Luca knows Chicago living more than most and understands what makes buyers and sellers tick. He develops long-term relationships with his clients, providing a real estate experience that is fun and personal. Client comfort is key, which is why he demystifies the real estate process to ensure clients make informed decisions. Moreover, Luca is technology-driven and believes in combining cutting-edge online marketing techniques with traditional marketing strategies for the best results.

Luca's results speak volumes. He has sold more than $11 million over 33 transactions. He is the recipient of the RE/MAX 2016 100% Club, and he achieved Executive Club Status in 2015 and 2016. Last year Luca placed all of his listings under contract, and he continues to close deals from suburban Cook County to Chicago’s trendiest neighborhoods.

Testimonials

My husband and I knew we wanted to move out of the city and find a new home, but we weren't sure where we wanted to look. Commute time was important, but we also wanted to find a home that checked all the boxes...and we had a lot! We met Luca at an open house and he was so personable and nice to us and our children that we knew we had to work with him. He was patient with us as we cast a wide net initially looking everywhere for a new house. He gave tips to help us get ours ready to list as well. His background in engineering was super helpful for us in looking at a variety of homes, some 100+ years old with a variety of structural challenges and potential work that would need to be completed. He was absolutely great to work with and his humor and genuineness was much appreciated on our daylong jaunts of house hunting. Our kids (aged 3 and 4) loved meeting Luca to look at houses and he was so patient with them showing all the houses to them too. Couldn't recommend him more highly. He's a great negotiator and also sold our house in less than a week and negotiated a multiple offer situation for us! He was professional in all of his dealings and we completely trusted his ability to get us our new house! I have and will continue to recommend him to others looking for a fantastic, responsive, and highly competent realtor.

My husband and I worked with Luca to find a home for our family in Park Ridge. He was great wonderful to work with! We searched for homes aggressively for 6 months and throughout the process Luca was patient, helpful and supportive. He grew up in the area and knows a lot about Park Ridge and surrounding communities. He also has great contacts throughout the industry and was able to give us leads on homes before they even went on the market. Once we found a place, we had a very short closing window for the purchase and Luca helped coordinate all the parties and ensured everything was completed on time. We would highly recommend Luca!

After failing to sell our home with another agent last fall we signed with Luca, who within a week got us tons of showings, a very well-attended open house, and two offers. On our purchase, he was incredibly generous and flexible with his time and was able to make and meet us at lots of short-notice viewings. He gave us objective and candid feedback during our buying process, going as far to suggest we not pursue a house we were interested in because of potential problems down the road. Luca is very responsive in communication, and is willing and able to field all the varied questions buyers and sellers come up with. He is highly recommended.

We were first time homebuyers and out of towners. Luca was very knowledgeable and detail oriented. He set up marathon viewing weekends where we saw 12 to 15 properties per weekend and we were able to find our home in 2 visits. He walked us through the whole process and was available whenever we needed him. I would recommend Luca to any family and friends looking to buy or sell in Chicago.

Luca helped me find a place in an ideal location at an awesome price! He was responsive and professional. It was great to have him on my side to ensure a smooth process.

As a first-time home-buyer, I had a lot of questions. Thankfully Luca had a lot of answers! Luca stayed on top of everything from the first showing to the final signature at closing, but he was very patient and gave me the space to make my own decisions and figure out what I was really looking for. I would highly recommend Luca for any potential buyers or renters!
