In 2009, I formed The Gramata Realty Group and partnered with Chicago’s largest independent brokerage firm, @properties. Each year my own sales growth has climbed from $6,000,000 in annual sales in 2008 to over $20,000,000+ in annual sales every year since then. But it is not all about closed sales volume. It is about providing superior service and customer satisfaction and I believe that is where me and my team excel.

Jim was really helpful during our house hunting process as well as very supportive to identify contractors that could help us in some modifications.6/11/2013 8:44 AM Jim was recommended to me by a close friend because of his professionalism and industry knowledge. He is the type that will try his very best to understand what his clients need and will try hard to find something meeting your requirement. He is not pushy to close any deal, so, it is comfortable for client and will allow time for client to think through. Before you making any offer, Jim will do thorough market analysis and recommend where to start a negotiation which makes clients feel confident and comfortable for the whole process. With a month's time, me as foreigner had successfully bought a ideal property in Chicago. With Jim's help, I felt comfortable and well assured for the whole process. So, I will be happy to recommend Jim to anyone who is going to buy, sell or rent a property. We chose to work with Jim Gramata after a referral from one of @properties brokers. From the start, Jim helped us hone our wish list to what was achievable within our budget. He helped us understand what was available in the market, how to evaluate the merits of one property versus another, and when it came time to place an offer, Jim's advice was invaluable. Without his advice, I'm not sure we would have won our competitive bid. From there, Jim helped us through the (daunting) inspection and negotiation process. He kept our heads on straight and our eyes on the ultimate target--a first-time home. Through the challenges, Jim was supportive, attentive, and most importantly, responsive. Even though the process was stressful, Jim's counsel was a real difference-maker.3/29/2013 3:23 PM Jim Gramata was very professional, highly responsive to our problems and questions, he had excellent knowledge of the Chicago market situation and always had time for us. He helped us solve many problems and Always had encouraging words or a smile for us. Thank you very much Jim. We will recommend you to our friends and colleagues.5/17/2012 6:50 PM Jim Gramata is an outstanding realtor & we will forever compare future agents to him (we now live in GA).7/16/2010 10:58 AM I don't think anything I write will properly illustrate how much we enjoyed working with Jim. As first time homebuyers, my husband and I were unsure of exactly what we were looking for. Jim helped us every step of the way, from assessing market conditions in various Chicago neighborhoods and assessing the quality of construction/design in new home, to formulating and negotiating an offer on our new home. Jim was knowledgeable, understanding, responsive and saavy when it came to negotiating. In addition to all of that, Jim is a very likeable person. We always enjoyed the time spent with him while out looking at properties and working through negotiations. We would absolutely recommend Jim to all of our friends and family!5/21/2010 4:16 PM Our house was on the Market for over a year when we called Jim. He immediatly helped us figure out staging, took new photo's and was very agressive with our sale. We probably would still be on the Market if it wasn't for him.5/13/2010 5:39 PM Marketing of the property exceeded our expectations. Jim kept us well infomed during the process of selling and provided realistic evaluations of market conditions.5/13/2010 4:32 PM
