Madelynn J. Hausman

Well over a year ago and well before my wife and I ever thought we would be purchasing a house, our neighbor mentioned that if we ever would need the services of an attorney for a real estate closing that we should consider using Madelynn J. Hausman. Well, fast forward to the middle of 2022 and my wi...fe and I were on the hunt, as first time home buyers, for our very own house and thankfully we hired Madelynn. My wife and I felt extremely well represented throughout the process and we are extremely grateful to have our very first house. Honestly, looking back it was a very stressful process but Madelynn was always available to answer all of our questions and listen to our concerns. Madelynn's knowledge of the contract and process were extremely strong and honestly was inspirational. We considered ourselves very lucky to have such strong representation. Also, if my wife and I were ever to buy another property we would not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you!!!

As a real estate professional, I am acquainted with hundreds of attorneys who represent both sides of property transactions. When it came to selling my own home, Madelyn Hausman was my attorney-of-choice. From title to taxes, contingencies and agreements, she expertly navigates the details, providing... sound advice with empathy and understanding. She anticipated every potential problem, found ways to save us money, and led us through a picture-perfect closing.

Madelynn J. Hausman was our retained legal advisor for the sale of our home which closed April 2, 2020. We listed the property at the end of February 2020, so the timeline from acceptance to review to close was extremely narrow. We hired Madelynn because of her experience, her intellect, and her un...wavering dedication. Her preparation, knowledge, judgement, and acumen are of the highest caliber. From marking up the real estate broker's listing contract (while traveling back from out of the country no less!), through initial acceptance and the attorney review period (which incurred several bespoke inspections), to prepping and completing final closing documents, Madelynn was creative, diligent, and tireless. She provided very pragmatic, smart legal guidance to our family. For example the buyer's attorney inserted some force majeure language regarding COVID-19 which as originally written was skewed in favor of the buyer. Madelynn rewrote the rider in a more comprehensive manner that was balanced for both parties but ultimately created a more definitive bind between the buyer and the closing. We ended up not having to enforce the clause however prior to March 2020 it was a non-standard concept. Madelynn handled it creatively as a result of her intellect, experience, and legal wisdom. Probably the most critical effort was preparing for and ensuring a successful close. Due to the State of Illinois issuing a closing of all non-essential businesses and activities, there were real and highly unusual challenges to face. There was less than four business days from the day we closed out of the attorney review and inspection period until an accelerated closing date. Madelynn worked tirelessly to ensure that all necessary local government, title services, legal and financial closing documents were prepared and ready for a 10am close. We completed the close as scheduled and I believe there is no one else that could have made it happen, except for Madelynn. She is a pleasure to work with professionally and a very nice person. Please consider her services. Madelynn is the best!

Madelynn performed an exceptional job representing me in the closing of my home. She was extremely knowledgeable of the closing process, informed me of potential issues/challenges, and provided suggestions on how to quickly address and resolve outstanding items before closing. This closing was seam...less and happened as expected. I couldn't be more pleased with the services Madelynn has provided. Once I had a Buyer, I had so many questions and had trouble sleeping with the closing process. Once I hired Madelynn and knew she had my back, I could sleep better at night. I would recommend her to anyone.

Madelynn has been our attorney for several commercial and personal real estate purchases. Not all deals are created equal. On one recent complicated deal she was able to dig in on our rights and save us $$$$$'s on future expenses. In the end everybody one and she was an important part of the deal ...staying together.
