Vikki asked me to write a review for her here and I am more than happy to! I think my experience deserved to be in some kind of realtor "hall of fame" or "story of the year", and I don't think I am exaggerating at all. So here goes: A few years back, I was living in Malaysia and having a hard time planning my move to Chicago. Sure, searching for places to rent on the internet was easy, but most people I talked to do not want to deal with out-of-towners and prefer to meet me in person before proceeding. I do not know the reason, I guess I was calling from an international phone and my number was untraceable. Also, not a lot of people would hold a rental for me until I arrive without some sort of deposit or assurance. I also found out that most property managers do not take bank transfers, only check or cash :/. And my problem is I NEED a place to stay by the time I reach Chicago or else I would be living on the street with my luggages! Vikki was the realtor who helped me with my situation. She found a very nice place for me and assure the property manager to hold the apartment until I arrive. What impressed me the most is that she even helped me to meet with a furniture seller on craigslist to coordinate the furniture situation before my arrival to the city. Long story short, I arrived to Chicago, got on a taxi, reach my future apartment, and my keys are ready. By the end of the day, my furniture are all moved in and my place is ready to be live in on the very first day. She really went above and beyond. All these could not be done without her! Believe me, I don't think I'd get very far if I tried doing all these on my own!

I had the pleasure to meet Ms. Kokuzian in 2009 while I was looking for a condo in Chicago. She did a terrific job for me. In fact, she not only assisted me through the entire procedure but also helped me to find the perfect home. Her comments were always professional and reliable.She impressed me with her knowledge of the real estate market in Chicago and her work attitude. By far Vikki is the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with so far.

I had the pleasure of working with Vikki at WNUA Radio and can honestly say she's one of the hardest working individuals I've ever managed. She's an absolutely tireless individual who always has a smile on her face that could light up a room. Every day is a good day for Vikki and her positive attitude is contagious. I highly recommend Vikki.
Hilary P.
Vikki is terrific! Not only is she pleasant to work with, she also knows her stuff! My husband and I purchased our first condo with Vikki and she was extremely helpful. We were picky and she was patient with us. During the buying process we had some problems come up and she worked everything out, leaving us with as little stress as possible. I highly recommend Vikki.
Matt Albrecht
Vikki is a pleasure to work with. She's an expert in her field, with comprehensive and creative strategies for buying and selling real estate in a challenging market. Based on my experience in the Real Estate Industry as an Attorney and former Mortgage Banker I strongly recommend Vikki. Her experience and work ethic have allowed her to become one of the top real estate agents in Chicago. She is a tremendous advocate for her clients and will always go above and beyond for them.
James Miller
Vicki, competitive at heart, courageous in any situation and graceful with how she communicates but somehow always manages to persuade her point is an asset to any firm she works with in business. I've seen her walk into meetings when sometimes the chips were down and walk out saving the day, yet the rest of the time a person you could count on to get the job done.
Maurice Sanders
Vikki is a brilliant individual who gives premium service to her clients. Her dedication to her company is unmatched; she is constantly volunteering to instruct classes and train fellow colleagues. Her expertise in working with buyers has prompted our Managing Broker to request that she lead our "Buyer Mastery Course" with the firm. Her energy is infectious and she always bring a unique prospective to find a resolution to her clients' and colleague's issues. Her professionalism and determination to find a suitable deal for all parties involved is a great quality. She believes in a "win-win or no deal" philosophy; understanding the commission from a deal pales in comparison to the satisfaction she receives from helping a client reach their goals. By placing a premium on client care, she shows her understanding of the life time value of a client. Her reputation among her colleagues is that of a "go-getter" whose prompt response time and professionalism is the gold standard by which the industry should be measured.
Erica (Lake View Condo Owner)
I want to express my gratitude to you for having the patience to help me in my quest for the right Lake View condo. You always made me feel as if I was your most important client even though I know I wasn't. You understood that a condo is not a home until someone feels it is and that is what you helped me do, find a home. Thanks for making the process virtually PAIN-FREE.
Matthew Rasche
I have recommended Vikki to clients of mine and they and I have been incredibly pleased. She was able to exceed the clients goals and conducted herself with integrity and professionalism. Not only did she provide an excellent service for her client, but her efforts and results made me look good by association! I would highly recommend Vikki to anyone looking to lease, buy or sell residential property and I look forward to the opportunity to refer her more business in the future.
Krikor Papazian
I have known Vikki for a long time and I could say with great confidence that she is superb in what she does, she is hard working and very honest. I would highly recommend her to everyone who is in need of her service.
Merle B.
Vikki was my realtor during the worst housing market. And I was so lucky she was! She sold my 2 bedroom/2 bath condo in Lakeview in about a month! She was so competent, I was blown away. First of all, she had pictures taken of my condo which were very eye appealing. On the web, my site was also very eye appealing. Then she advertised everywhere! When there was a showing (and there were many), she'd follow up with the other realtors. And with Vikki being very creative, she'd always be thinking of ways on how and where she could advertise more. When my condo did sell, Vikki was very professional and helpful during the negotiations. She helped me immensely. I'd recommend Vikki as a realtor in a heartbeat.
Nairee H.
Vikki knows real estate! I hired her to be my broker for my big move from the suburbs to the city of Chicago. I can confidently say that she knows this city. She listened to what I needed and helped me find the ideal location and property that fit in my price range. In addition to all I have mentioned about her, the best quality was her keen sense of attention to detail which proved most beneficial for me. I highly recommend Vikki and 123 Chicago Real Estate.
Jess O.
Selling a home is stressful in general, but this economy makes it incredibly stressful. Luckily, I hired the right real estate agent. Vikki was there for me every step of the way and really made me feel like I was her only client. After all the showings we ended up selling the condo for pretty much what we asked for. I will only use her from now on.
Christina M.
Vikki is extremely professional. She was able to hear and understand my home-buying needs. She was well-informed, knowledgeable, and prepared to answer all my questions. She found me the home of my dreams and negotiated aggressively to meet my budget. I felt confident that she would be my advocate and follow-through, diligently, to the very final stages of the sale.
Martha M.
Vikki is a trustworthy, diligent worker who works passionately. She never fails to finish a job after starting it and pays close attention to detail. She is a professional with a keen sense of humor and respects others in her surroundings. She is well-liked by many and an inspiration to most. After knowing her and her work for many years, I recommend Vikki with absolutely no reservations.
Maria (Lincoln Park Condo Owner)
Thank you very much for all of your assistance in the purchase of our new condo. Your courteous professionalism made a very positive difference in my Lincoln Park condo purchase process. I plan to send family and friend referrals your way as a continuing "thank you."
A.H.
We recently put in a contract for a home through Vikki and she has exceeded my expectations. I needed someone who was not afraid to make an offer and stick to what I was going to be able to spend. The home buying processing it stressful beyond belief and she let me know that from the start, but also let me know that she would be available to answer my questions and emails whenever they came up. I def recommend her to anyone looking to buy....
Brandon Krause
It's not just important to work with someone that knows what they are doing but to also enjoy working with them. That can definitely be used to describe working with Vicki. She knows what to do and in the very rare instance that she does not know, the first thing she does is ask a question. When someone else has a question to ask her she has no problem taking the time to discuss it with the individual. Overall, when times are both busy and light she helps keep the work environment fun but also productive.
Martin M.
Vikki found me EXACTLY what I was looking for. The way she did it, is what impressed me. Vikki treated me with courtesy and respect, she made me feel as if I was her top priority. Vikki took the time to learn my specific interests, and didn't flood me with tons of listings. Her attention to detail, and neighborhood expertise are quite impressive. She was always easy to reach, and always communicated updates or changes. Vikki made what sometimes can be a difficult process, quite easy.
Christian Bryant
Vikki was our real estate agent when my wife and I bought our first condo in 2010 and I can't recommend her enough. Her attention to and knowledge of important details that we should know about each property we saw went beyond anything we expected and gave us a great deal of confidence in buying our home. Plus, she's a really nice person and super patient, which helps if you want to see a bunch of properties like we did!

Vikki is a true professional. I would highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.
