“Excellent, professional, and personal. We needed to get new tenants into our rental property. The day we went online with ROC we received hundred of inquiries and and soon after, multiple applications. With ROC, we got an offer above our asking price. Thank you ROC!”
“I've worked with Rick and his team for a good number of years now with rentals, buying and selling. It's always a delight and they know their stuff. A source of advice I can trust.”
“The Rick O'Connor Group helped us sell a rental property. The first two attempted sales fell through - one because of buyer financing and one because of a late-occurring sewer line issue that needed repair. We are located out of state, so we needed the Rick O'Connor Group to arrange everything for us. Rick and his team were masterful in helping us make repairs and helping us obtain a higher price to help cover the cost of repairs. They were patient, persistent and comforting through the entire sales process. I highly recommend them.”
“Rick helped us selling my mother in law's house. The office is very prompt in answering questions, provided good communications and was able to sell the house quickly.”
“Larry helped us purchase our home 8 years ago and that process was flawless. When it came time to move on we called him back. The level of service he and his team provided was incredible. The online presence of our listing was incredible - we were everywhere. We found our eventual buyer on day 1 of listing. Another great experience. I highly recommend the O'Connor Group!”
“Wonderful company led by a team of experts. Definitely recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Rick and his team. They had great communication and gave us sound advice.”
“I cannot thank all of you enough! I could not have done any of this without you all! You are my saviors and definitely a God send. I am blessed and grateful, more than I could ever express!!! This has been a nightmare for me since the day I found out my Dad, the man I hadn’t heard from since I was probably 14, had passed, but then you all came along and brought the light to this nightmare!!! Just an amazing group of people you are, I could not have asked for a better team!!!”
“Thank you to The Rick O'Connor Group! We have worked with Rick for about 20 years now with our purchases and sales. Rick and his staff go above and beyond to make sure things go through smoothly. And, they provide you an additional copy of your closing statement at the end of the year so you have it for your taxes to save you from looking for it. Just another personal touch from The Rick O'Connor Group. Lynn Schmid”
“When we started thinking about buying a home we had no idea how to go about it. We were so grateful to find someone like Rick who explained things to us every step of the way. He was extremely attentive to our needs and helped us get more home for our money. We thoroughly trust Rick and his team and have highly recommended him to our friends”

“Out of the country sellers, I loved the 800 number! The Rick O’Connor Group handled every call with professionalism & quick response time! Six weeks from when we first contacted Rick we closed on our house sale – very satisfied with the selling price even given the need for a fast sale. Every person in the office (Rick, Mona, Karen & Victoria) was helpful in the process & responsive to our needs. We do not think we could have a better selling experience. Thanks, Rick for calling me at 10pm and even leaving your home number for me to phone back”

Kirk’s | 220 Veretta, McHenry & 410 Lake, Woodstock
“We found Rick O’Connor to be the most competent realtor that we have ever dealt with. Rick has a thorough knowledge of the McHenry real estate market and is a master at his trade. He always returned calls and would keep us informed constantly of properties he thought might be of interest to us, in spite of his busy schedule. One of the most impressive aspects of Rick’s skills is his knowledge of homes. Rick knows about the technical aspects of homes that most realtors are only vaguely familiar with. Ask Rick a question about furnaces, building styles, building techniques and materials and you get a professional’s answer. On rare occasions when he didn’t know an answer, he found it and got promptly back to us. Rick will work with and for you all the way. He’s no part-timer, he’s the Pro of Pros!”
Steve and Mari Douglas
“Being a first time buyer, we were afraid it would take longer than it did to find something within our budget. With Rick’s experience in the real estate field, everything went very smoothly and his ‘step by step’ process is something any first time buyer shouldn’t do without!”
The McMichael’s | 1209 N. Park, McHenry
“I would recommend Rick O’Connor to represent you in any real estate dealings. He is very informative, reliable and honest. He sold our house, which was a first for us, in two weeks. Rick furnished us with a Title Company, lawyer, etc, all of who were very competent. I had a great experience and would deal with him in the future, if the opportunity arises! Thanks again for a job well done!”
Deborah J. Seibert
“We recently listed our home with Rick O’Connor. We attempted to sell our house on our own but had no luck at all. As soon as we listed with Rick, we had a wonderful response. Having a Realtor who knows what he is doing makes all the difference. Rick helped us in all aspects of selling our home. He was there whenever we needed him. Most of all, his kindness, patience and expertise paid off. We sold our home in a matter of a few months. I would recommend Rick O’Connor for all your real estate needs!”
The Giambrone’s | 1148 Autumn Dr, Crystal Lake
“The Rick O’Connor Group, my compliments to you all. My wife and I were extremely pleased that we were working with you in buying our new home. You have been very pleasant to work with.

Rick O’Connor gave us the leadership we needed to expedite the sale of our house, and he quickly found us a replacement. Rick treated us with the highest professional standards. There’s no doubt in our minds, he’s #1 in McHenry County!”
The Johnson’s | 3407 Lake Vista, Wonder Lake
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us in the sale of our house in Wonder Lake.

Not only did you aid in the sale of our home, if it had not been for you, we would not be residing in our current home in Woodstock”
The Fox’s | 1560 Wicker St, Woodstock
“We recently met with Rick and his team to discuss the prospect of getting a larger house. Frankly, we thought it was an impossibility, but Rick not only illustrated for us how it could be done, he put us in contact with a great financial officer who worked with us. We are looking forward to moving into a newly built home in a few months. Rick hasn’t just been our real estate agent, he’s become our friend over the past six plus years”
The Olson’s
“Rick was very frank with us when we were selling our condo. He didn’t play games but told us what we had to do and that was that. Rick showed us lots of houses till we found the right one. He helped us find a great lawyer and mortgage company. Rick kept in touch with us and treated us like friends”

The Roth’s | 321 Village Trail, McHenry
“Prior to coming to ROC, I used Advantage Plus Realty as a Management Company to rent my mother’s house. They were dishonest and secretive. When I happened to find ROC, they were everything I could ask for in managing the rental and I was 100% satisfied. When we decided to sell the house, the professionalism continued seamlessly and I couldn’t have been happier with Rick and his entire staff”
Susan Lusk | 4410 Ashley Drive, McHenry, 2014

“It was a stressful year. My husband and I both lost our jobs. My husband took a job out of state, and since we were under water with our mortgage, we had no choice but to put it up for short sale.

Stan Kubiak, McHenry
“Would like to take a moment to leave a review about the Rick O’Connor group. We recently sold our home with Rick, and all I can say is what a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. We had their knowledge, support, and a genuine concern for my family’s best interest. I would not hesitate in recommending Rick and his team, if you have the pleasure to work with Kim, it is a blessing! Rick, as he says, will always give you the good, bad, and the ugly! If you are a buyer, your best interests are far more important to them, than the commission, I know this first hand”
Tom Lawrence
“Larry was extremely helpful in helping us purchase our home in 2008. We upgraded to a bigger house and kept our old one as a rental unit. Larry was patient and just really awesome to work with. Also, his knowledge of rental properties greatly helped us through the years with renting our old house. Due to a great job opportunity out of state, Rick helped us sell our home in 2017. Rick was incredible! He suggested a few easy/quick updates and staged the house which quickly led to multiple offers! Also, throughout the process Rick kept an eye on the property, since we were out of state, and knew of extremely well qualified / friendly and reasonably priced maintenance professionals who helped us fix a couple of emergencies. In fact, after a hard days work, Rick went to the house a couple times to help troubleshoot an issue with a fridge leak and other things. Also, his staff was so friendly, responsive and helpful! We can’t thank this entire team enough for everything they did!”
Jeff Nelson

We chose to make the listing and Rick gave us some great advice on how best to prep the house and their professional service was fantastic. We had several showings and ended up with two offers – we sold in less than a month at full price! Rated Excellent on all levels!”

“Exceeded my expectations every step of the way. At first I didn’t even know whether to rent my house out or to sell it. After speaking and consulting with Rick, he shared so much expertise, not only for the demographic, but overall market conditions I was able to confidently decide to sell. I felt truly supported and guided through every decision of the home selling process. I had a very hard sell and many personal obstacles that Rick and his team graciously helped me overcome. They were there for me every single time I called, emailed or texted. I got an immediate response with a very thorough and thoughtful answer. He and his team’s professionalism, knowledge and just general kindness is unmatched in this day and age. I will forever be indebted to him and his team and grateful that I had an opportunity to work with them and now call them friends.”

“We found Rick by one of his yard signs. After speaking with Rick it was obvious that we need not look any further. We had an investment property that we wanted to sell and Rick provided us with a very professional assessment of the property and the market. Within days of the listing we received multiple offers and Rick’s guidance helped us decide on the right offer netting us the highest of all the offers. His staff and familiarity with a local attorney and contractor rounded out all that was needed for a successful closing. I can honestly say that he was the best overall Realtor we have worked with. You won’t go wrong with choosing Rick for your real estate needs.”
