Melinda Higgins Brom

Melinda was absolutely incredible to work with. My fiancé and I are first time home buyers that received a referral to Melinda from Lisa Gentile (of Cathy Bier real estate - Lisa was another phenomenal professional). From the first phone call to Melinda I knew we were in good hands. She was very calm... and took the time to explain the complicated legal and real estate jargon. She was very accessible and made us feel like her top priority, even though I'm sure she had plenty of other things to do and people to work with. Throughout the whole process, Melinda calmed my nerves and assured me that she was doing everything possible to make sure our deal went through. We closed on our house the other day and have had time to reflect on our home buying experience. Little did we know that the deal was close to falling through due to circumstances out of our hands, but Melinda was working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure it all worked out (& it did) - and kept me calm throughout the whole process! I cannot say enough great things about Melinda. I will recommend her to any of my friends or family that need a real estate attorney in the future. Melinda was an absolute joy to work with and I cannot thank her enough for making our home buying a relatively calm endeavor. She is simply the best!

“Lawyers with good intentions make promises. Lawyers with good character keep them.” I have worked with lawyers my entire career yielding mixed experiences and opinions. Recently we decided to sell our house in the Chicago area and Melinda Brom was recommended to us as a real estate attorney. O...ur first offer, well over listed price, on our house fell through ( due to a buyers personal issue ) a month after the signed contract. Melinda quickly secured the earnest money for us, which was a well-received alternative to the sale. We had to restart the entire sale process, a grim feeling at best. The 2nd signed contract involved numerous different buyer requests, so I requested a personal meeting with Melinda. She immediately scheduled a ½ hour meeting for us. That meeting ended up exceeding 2 hours with all my questions and concerns completely addressed to my satisfaction. We were clearly on the same page and more importantly assured our interests were Melinda’s priorities. The bottom line is this: Good people are hard to find. We all know they are the very foundation of successful operations. Every once in a while a rare and talented person comes along at which someone like you should take a good, hard look. Melinda Brom is that individual. Her professionalism, attention to detail, effective communication skills, creativity, prompt follow-up and organization skills coupled with her legal expertise, allow her to keep things simple and uncomplicated. She is most respected and I highly recommend her.
