    Sold a home in 2011.
    The Mario Greco Group helped us out of tight situation with our rental properties as the recession descended in full force. Their advice, communication, follow-up and follow-through were all perfect making this the easiest process we could have experienced.

    Sold a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $775K in Libertyville, IL.
    The Mario Greco Group is in a league of their own. Several years ago Mario was helpful to us when we were in a bad situation with another agent in the city and even though he didn't sell our condo for us we knew we'd use him for our next real estate transaction. Luckily, since then he has expanded into the suburbs by adding Lehigh Cohen to the group. We wanted to sell our house in Libertyville quickly without taking too big of a bath and Lehigh talked to us about pricing it to sell in 60 days (using comps and his experience, etc.). We agreed on a price and the house sold in 6 weeks! Lehigh, Mario and the whole Mario Greco Group are extremely responsive (Lehigh talked me off the ledge a couple times leading up to closing) and we definitely got the feeling that Lehigh was trying to get us as much money as possible.

    Someone recently asked me how we chose Mario's group. Here's why we chose them......All real estate agents charge the same. Why would you not use the #1 guy?!

    Sold a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $900K in Roscoe Village, Chicago, IL.
    I was looking for an agent that could sell my home quickly. I had previously had my home on the market, with a different agent, for 7 months, too many showings to count, and no offers. Mr. Greco came out to my home and took stock of what he saw. He suggested I have it staged. He also told me what he would probably list it at. Additionally, Mr. Greco brought books of comparables, letters of reference, and a plan of exactly how he would market my home. I listed my home with him. Prior to it even going on the market, Mr. Greco said he already had a showing scheduled. Bottom line: 1 showing and an offer 12 hours after my house went on the market. Mr. Greco did an outstanding job of negotiating the price and it was 98% of what I was asking. I would use him again in a heartbeat. KayleMoreLess

    About Mario Greco

    Add personality to your profile! Tell the community about yourself, your home, and your profession.

    Born and raised in Chicago, Mario Greco came to real estate by way of engineering and law. He graduated with honors from both Northwestern University (with degrees in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering) and from Boston University School of Law. He practiced law for almost seven years at both Jones Day and Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago in their Intellectual Property Litigation departments. While practicing law full time, he started his own real estate brokerage firm, Greco Realty & Brokerage, L.L.C. (GRB, LLC), and sold an average of $9M worth of real estate a year on a part-time basis. GRB, LLC grew to four agents and an assistant before Century 21 Sussex & Reilly acquired it in 2002. He left C21 Sussex & Reilly in 2004 to join Rubloff Residential Properties expanding The Mario Greco Group in the process. Rubloff was one of the oldest and most prestigious real estate brokerages in Chicago and in 2009 merged with Prudential Preferred Properties to create Prudential Rubloff Properties, Chicago's premier residential brokerage.

    Continuing Mario's unprecedented rise to the top of the Chicago real estate market that began in September of 2002, The Mario Greco Group is currently ranked #1 statewide and #32 nationally by The Wall Street Journal & REAL TRENDS' The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals.  Mario ended 2012 as the #1 full service agent in the entire city of Chicago since 2008, and has sold over $600M worth of City property during that span – in the worst real estate market in recent history.  Mario has been the city's top producer in numerous neighborhoods over the years including the following in 2011: Lakeview (including the Blaine & Nettelhorst School Districts), Roscoe Village, North Center (including the Bell & Coonley School Districts), Old Irving Park, Irving Park (including the Disney II Magnet & Bateman School Districts), Lincoln Square, Andersonville, Uptown, Ravenswood and Avondale.  He has been in the top 1% of all Chicago Realtors every year since he started selling real estate, amounting to almost $1B worth of real estate since 2002.


    Mario continues to lead The Mario Greco Group at Prudential Rubloff. The Group specializes in representing clients who purchase and sell condominiums, townhomes, single-family homes and income property within the City of Chicago and the Northern, Western and Northwest suburbs.

    Mario and his wife, Julie, their 6 dogs and their occasional foster dogs live in Old Irving Park.
