I am pleased to share that I recently had yet another fantastic experience with the Gillespie Group.

This remarkable team has assisted me in both buying and selling multiple homes, and I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and dedication to their clients. Their ease of communication and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend the Gillespie Group to anyone in search of top-notch real estate services.

Megan Falkner

I'm filling this out on behalf of my wife and myself.

My wife wanted to do this, but she hasn't been able to find time with a new house and our new born baby girl. I can tell you that any nice things I have to say about Holly doesn't do justice to the service she has provided my wife and I over the years. Holly has helped us purchase two homes and sell one; and she didn't even make commission on one of those sales. Holly has gone above and beyond and our only regret is we won't get to work with her again. (We moved to far away!) We highly recommend Holly Lahood to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thank you Holly!!!

Ana and Kurtis Kuta

Since I was a first time home owner, Holly helped me out a lot.

I would recommend her anyone who is planning to buy or sell their home.

Sarah Everson

Holly was respectful and thoughtful with the family’s sensitivity to losing a family member.

She is very responsive and willing to work with you on time, meetings, drop offs, etc. I highly recommend her to buy or sell. Very helpful and easy to work with.

Sharon Hilst

Holly was absolutely amazing!

We were looking at houses in the Peoria/East Peoria area for a few months while our house in Austin, TX was on the market waiting to be sold. She was very understanding of our unfortunate extended timeline when it came to selling our house first before putting in offers on houses here in Illinois. She never said no to last minute virtual showings that we had requested on a few houses before finally putting in an offer on the house we ended up with. She informed us about everything we needed to know, every step of the way. She was always very kind and communicated thouroughly to my Wife and I via text messages and emails.

Cody and Andrea Emmons

This was our first time selling a home, and Holly made the experience so easy!

She answered our numerous questions with knowledge and patience. It was nice to feel like Holly was on our side and truly wanted the best for us.

Blake and Molly Long

Rich is a true professional.

He takes great care with buyers and sellers to advise them in a positive and constructive way that gets consistently great results. The real adage market has changed substantially over the last 5 years and it’s important to have an agent who has kept up with those changes. We are very pleased with Rich’s efforts and we consider him our “go-to” guy in real estate.

Terry Ruhland and Albert Audo

He took his time and was always available for questions and concerns that came up. He was so patient with my father, who was overwhelmed at times. Rich also walked us through the steps ahead so we were aware of what we needed to do for a successful sale. 10/10 would recommend him!

Timothy Mucciante

Holly worked with my 84 yr old mother to sell her home a year after we lost my stepdad.

It was an emotional time for Mom, and I couldn't thank Holly enough for how she approached the entire process from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and gentle but at the same time she guided us in the right direction. We were consistently communicated with during every step of the process. We never felt as if we didn't know what was going on. What else can we say.....we are a fan of Holly and so very grateful for her. The house sold in about 24-26 hours after listing and closed 4 weeks later. Love you

Finding a home in todays market is challenging, but I was able to find a great one that fit my needs, purchased at a competitive price.

Rich Gillespie was quick to respond when I reached out and was always willing to make time to show me homes whenever I came across them. He was patient with me as I searched for over half a year and helped me get things across the finish line once I found the house I wanted. I also very briefly worked with Adam Lahood who just like rich was willing to help me as a first time home buyer navigate some of the waters.

Rich helped me through a very emotional time in the settlement of my parent's estate.

Their property was a unique property that needed his, and his team's, experience. They handled the listing and bidding process in the best possible format for success. Dealing with the emotional ,memory aspect and financial timetable was difficult for me; however, he actually made it easy for me. Listing, bidding, acceptance was done in less than ten days on a as is property. I forever will be grateful for his help, guidance, and support.
