Finding someone that is an expert, has connections, reliable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about their work is hard to find. Chris checks all of those boxes! Hes been amazing to work alongside with. He provides recommendations, hes always keeping us in the loop and so easy to communicate with!

We've worked with Chris Demas at Leading Edge Realty Advisors multiple times, and his expertise is unmatched. He helped us find the perfect business location to lease, later guided us through purchasing the property, and connected us with the right lender to finance the deal.
Chris also structured long-term leases and secured tenants for vacant units. Thanks to his market knowledge and hands-on approach, we now own a fully leased, income-generating property.

As a landlord, working with Christopher Demas of Leading Edge Realty was a very pleasurable experience. At the outset he met with me personally to outline both my expectations and our overall objectives in obtaining a tenant for my Commercial property in the Harlem - Foster area of Chicago. Within a couple of weeks he was able to find me a very solid tenant. I was most impressed with his ability to structure the financial aspect of the transaction as well as his overall communication skills. I would easily recommend him to friends and other business associates.

We have worked with Chris in both sales and purchases of homes and he has been such an amazing realtor. I am an overthinker and picture every worst case scenario. I imagine it could be exhausting to deal with my stress, but Chris is so confident in what he does (as he should be!) and has always helped me get through the process from start to finish. He knows his stuff and he loves what he does which is so important in this profession. He is honest, caring, and truly looks out for your best interest. When you're buying a home it's crucial to have a good team and Chris is top notch!

Chris at Leading Edge Realty Advisors helped my family with a residential home purchase. He was knowledgeable, supportive and made the entire process very smooth. He suggested to us to get the sewer line scoped at the property we were interested in and helped us identify an issue with the property that we may have never known about until it was too late. I would definitely recommend LERA if you need help with a real estate purchase!

Christopher Demas found us our dream home. We had our hearts set on a new construction development in the Stevenson school district. He helped us navigate 3 bids over the course of 3 months. It was a painful process and helped us every step of the way and then advised us to start looking beyond the new construction. Chris explained how broken that process was and he was certain we would find something better. We absolutely found a stunning house with everything we needed for a fraction of the cost of the new construction in an amazing school district that I never would have entertained without him. Then, when it came time to sell our home he hit the ground running and we had an offer in a week. Several offers. We found our dream home and sold our old home all with his assistance and experience in the field. We could not have done it without Chris. Thank you so much Chris!!!

Chris is the best broker I have ever met! He always puts the client's needs first. He is attentive and provides effective advice. He not only finds a property but helps facilitate a successful completion of your vision. He doesn't have to do that, but he goes above and beyond. Once the connection is established, you find that you want to hear his advice on everything you encounter. HE IS EXCELLENT!!!

Chris Demas listed my condo for me and got me exactly what I was looking for price wise. He was quick to response whenever I needed something or had a question. He made the whole process go really smooth and quick. Great realtor who listens to your needs and executes. I will definitely be working with him again for future real estate transactions. Thank you Chris!

As first-time home buyers, we felt a bit of anxiety going into our home search. However, it didn't take long for us to know that we were in good hands with Chris Botsis. He was thorough when breaking down the home buying process and explaining what we could expect along the way. He actively searched listings keeping all of our "must haves" in mind. He didn't just rely on automated searches with key words. Chris eventually came across the listing for the home we purchased last month (August 2020).
Finding our home was just as important to Chris as it was to us. He kept us updated on where we were in the closing process and made it a point to be in constant communication with our lender and attorney. We couldn't have asked for a more supportive, knowledgeable, and professional agent than Chris.

Thank you to Christopher Demas of Leading Edge Realty for my more than satisfied experience in home searching. Christopher was very patient, knowledgeable, and honest while searching homes for my mother. I felt she was in very good hands and that was a bonus. He was able to tell her pros and cons on each place we looked at which we were thankful for. Thank you Christopher for helping my mom find her new home .

Chris helped me sell my Chicago 2 flat, buy my forever home and find tenants for my rental unit all within the same time period. During part of this time I was in the hospital with complication during my pregnancy. Because we had our hands full we really had to rely on Chris to deliver. He went above and beyond the call of duty with all aspects of these transactions!

I am a professional architectural and interiors photographer, and recently worked with Chris Demas on a few of his clients homes for sale. I simply came here to say that working with Chris was nothing short of amazing; from initial conversation, to coordinating meeting at each property, to communication (with his clients, and myself) - he's been consistent and incredible; start-to-finish! Do not hesitate to reach out to Chris if you need an honest, kind and personable realtor with integrity! CHRIS DEMAS ROCKS!!!

Christopher Demas of Leading Edge Realty was a constant professional helping myself and wife with our first home purchase. He helped taking the stress out of the biggest purchase of our life. From finding our dream home to helping us with his many contacts he always had an answer and was available late night and weekends always making us feel like a priority. He made himself available on a call to set up an appointment, the late offers , the weekend follow ups. We fired our first realtor as we felt we were being inconveniences. We were introduced to Chris and I'm telling you it was night and day with difference. Chris was amazing, kept feeding us new home options. He understood our concerns and our must haves with our dream home and helped cater to our needs. I would definitely recommend Chris to all home buyers and sellers. He has many contacts in the industry and will not let you down.
thank you Chris!!!
thank you Chris!!!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Leading Edge Realty Advisors. Our realtor, George Panoutsos, was proactive and informative during the selling of our condo and throughout the process of buying our new home (which is never an easy task to pull off)! George maintained a positive relationship with us along with the buyers and their realtor. All while providing up to the minute service during the sale of our condo, he found us our new dream home simultaneously. George was very patient with our questions and requests throughout the process and we were so thankful for that! We highly recommend George and Leading Edge Realty Advisors for any of your future real estate needs! Thank you, Leading Edge Realty Advisors!!!

First time homebuyer and couldnt be more happy I chose Leading Edge Realty Advisors. Chris Demas gave me excellent guidance throughout the entire process, unflagging availability, and had a deep knowledge of a wide variety of homes that we looked at. He answered every question I had thoroughly, was available daily to help me out, and used strategy to get the best deal I thought was impossible to obtain. Together, we saw over 40 properties over a period of many months, and Chris remained generous the entire time until I finally found my dream home. Once we found the home, the seller came off very stubborn when we started talking price. Chris showed the ability to think clearly and rapidly under pressure while persuading the other side to make a deal much better than I expected to get in only a matter of a few hours. When it was all set and done, Chris Demas got me my dream home by stating patient, sticking to strategy, and negotiating thousands of dollars well below asking price. I highly recommend Leading Edge Realty Advisors and Chris Demas to any future homebuyers.
