When Becky and Derek Kwong set out to find their dream summer getaway, they imagined a place where the days felt longer, the water was just steps away, and every weekend felt like a vacation. Their search led them to Shadow Lakes in Wilmington, IL, one of the area’s most coveted lakefront communities.
The Journey to Shadow Lakes
The couple reached out to me through Zillow, and right away it was clear they were serious about finding not just a house, but the right home. Shadow Lakes is competitive, with homes that sell fast and demand expert navigation. My role was to give them every advantage: honesty, responsiveness, and deep knowledge of the local market.
A Trusted Process
Throughout the process, I stayed focused on what mattered most to Becky and Derek. I answered every question quickly, provided straightforward assessments, and gave honest recommendations about which properties would truly fit their vision. Buying a lakefront home is a big decision, and I wanted them to feel confident at every step.
The Outcome
That approach paid off. Becky and Derek found the perfect summer home, one that matched exactly what they had envisioned. And in their own words:
"We were lucky to connect with Chris through Zillow and liked him right from the start. He was professional, honest, and very responsive to our questions as buyers. He has the knowledge of the area, was straightforward with his assessments & recommendations, and made the time to help us buy our lake property in Wilmington. Thanks for the great experience!"
Building Memories by the Water
Today, Becky and Derek have more than a house. They have a true lakefront escape where they can make memories that last for years to come. Helping clients reach this point—the moment when their dream becomes reality—is what makes the work worthwhile.
