"We couldn't possibly say enough good things about Chris DeVincentis and Team Legendary, other than they truly is LEGENDARY! Chris is an absolute Realtor ROCKSTAR!
I have had my share of real estate transactions over the years and my most recent one on Lake Delavan WI was quite complex. I had originally chosen to go with one of the most upscale and high-priced realty firms in Lake Geneva thinking their level of experience would provide the best outcome. Needless to say, I was mistaken and a friend who had a similar experience recommended Chris DeVincentis.
Signing on with Chris DeVincentis proved to be one of the best decisions I ever made! Not only did Chris have the property under contract within 48 hours of my contacting him, but he also sold the property significantly ABOVE the asking price! His assessment and expertise netted me nearly 25% above the initial estimates I had previously been given, an absolute HOME RUN! We are talking a $100,000 difference here! I should mention that he has the flexibility to offer different pricing than other realtors I shopped with! It's an extreme rarity in life to find a true expert, with upscale services, and a fantastic experience, at a more reasonable price. I don't think there really is any better way to accurately describe Chris and our incredible experience in dealing with him.
From the moment I contacted Chris I had a great vibe and we knew we were in the right hands. It was immediately evident just how seriously he takes his trade. Chris is the epitome of what every seasoned Realtor strives to be.
Chris DeVincentis is an incredibly skilled, talented, passionate, well-connected, thorough seasoned professional Realtor, and I would highly recommend him to ANYONE! Chris went above and beyond to the very end and we can't possibly thank him enough. I hope this sincere review serves as a testament to just how strongly we feel his abilities deserve to be recognized. Our only regret was not contacting Chris sooner! I trust him for any of my future real estate transactions."

I want to take a minute to express a big thank you to Cherie Mars Janssen, a fellow Richmond native, for helping us sell our Dad's house in Genoa City. It was bittersweet for us. We appreciate all of your hard work, including working with 4 sellers. We also enjoyed catching up with you, both about the old days of Richmond and everyone's current lives.
Cherie is professional, reliable, and prompt; which contributed to a speedy prep, market, and sell. If anyone is looking to buy or sell in Wisconsin, I highly recommend giving Cherie a call.

My husband and I would like to take the opportunity to thank Chris at Legendary Real Estate services for his wisdom, patience, and guidance. I feel it is important to share, my husband and I are professionals in the real estate industry; my husband is an attorney licensed in both IL and Wisconsin and I am a licensed real estate broker in IL. With this being said, there are some variations to the practice of real estate that Chris was well equipped to navigate and explain to us. Throughout the entire process, Chris provided an immeasurable about of information and direction to help us while finding our perfect home in a market with very little inventory. As we are transitioning our personal and professional lives from IL to WI, he was kind enough to take the extra time to share additional recommendations. We feel much more knowledgeable making this move in various respects! Chris is not only a seasoned Wisconsin broker, but a great person as well. Through our experience, we now call Chris “friend.” I cannot recommend Chris enough to those in need of real estate services. Thank you for all your kindness and facilitation, Chris. You are a true professional!

Chris made the initial contact regarding our vacant land. He provided us with information on the current real estate market in the area. Offer assistance about builders in the area so we could make an informed decision. After seeking advice and the costs to build a new home we opted to sell our property and contacted Chris. He helped us through the listing process. We were all surprised that within 3 days we had an offer on the property. We were pleased with the honesty and professionalism that Chris demonstrated throughout the entire process from contact to close.

He works with you as a skilled professional and his level of communication is superior-with regard to the process and the status of your property. He works with you in understanding market value and creates a strategy the allows you to be confident that your property is being valued properly which in turn allows for a quick sale. I highly recommend him.

Cherie Janssen is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She kept us informed about available properties and always let us know as soon as a new one came on the market. She was honest and forthright. Cherie was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. Cherie was wonderful to work with and is kind of like having a friend on the” inside”. I highly suggest if you’re looking for a realtor using Cherie Janssen with Legendary We would definitely work with her again!!

“Team Legendary at Legendary Real Estate were great to work with in our relocation journey. From start to finish, communication and support were excellent. Whether by phone, text, or email, Chris and the team responded punctually to all inquiries and assistance. All viewings were seamlessly coordinated and were simple to schedule. Their knowledge of the greater Lake Geneva area was evident and made our new home purchase significantly less stressful.
Thank you, Chris, Jade, and Cherie for your help. We are looking forward to enjoying our new home.”

We sold a home that had been in our family for over 90 years. Chris was very patient and professional helping us with an extremely difficult process. He has phenomenal market knowledge of the entire lakes area and personally knows a large percentage of realtors making negotiations very smooth. We highly recommend him!

“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Chris. I can’t say enough good things about the experience we had working with him. This was our first time buying a home, and he made the process so easy. He also had so much patience with us, from letting us see houses that more than likely weren’t going to work for us, to taking a year to find something, all the way to dealing with our energetic kids during every showing. He always responded back to us in a reasonable amount of time, and just very professional all around. I would 100% recommend, and if we are ever in the market again, we will have no questions as to who we will be working with.”

It was a pleasure working with Chris. Our property was unique- not for everyone. He walked us through the current market to help us set the price. His marketing was top-of-the-line. He was sensitive to our mixed feelings about selling and the stress we felt. He is honest and knowledgeable. His communication is outstanding. He responded quickly and communicated clearly on all aspects of the sale. I highly recommend Chris and will work with him again.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Chris, Jade and Cherie at Legendary Real Estate! From initial contact to tireless effort on their part to help us find the perfect vacation home for us (over the course of a year!), to closing, it was a pleasure working with them. Despite the seller's market, Chris helped us move quickly as soon as we found the right place and, due to the diligence of the whole team at Legendary, we were able to purchase our home. We love it! Their knowledge of the community, their resourcefulness and patience made this a relatively easy process. We really appreciate the dedication and can't highly recommend them enough! You will not go wrong with this team!

“Jade and her team were awesome from the first meeting through to closing. Very professional and covered every detail thoroughly. They went above and beyond on a number of occasions and made the whole thing so easy for me. They took the stress right out of the entire process.
Thank you for all your amazing work and for how much you truly care about your clients. You are legendary!!!”

"They call themselves Legendary Real Estate but quite honestly, they should be called The Extraordinarily Legendary because they have the most amazingly, focused, spot-on approaches and the most transparent approach to making the impossible a reality.
I have always been one then moves but over the past few years, I was in 1 location. I have worked with Chris for over 25 years and have many home sales/purchases. I just can say enough about how the team and folks there is no "I" in this team made everything so easy and perfect.
Starting out with the foundation of Jade Goodhue and Chris DeVincentis who partnered to start a real estate process that is easy, open, and makes the process really seem like a sunny day after weeks of rainy and lowly days. Their approach also allows for the entire team to add Cherie and the balance of their team members which makes them very different. You add Chris DeVincentis who has real estate experience and customer interactions that allows you to relax as he asks the questions and gets the information for the rest of the team.
Then insert Jade Goodhue who not only has real estate investment experience but an immense and extraordinary background of growth and operational tenacity that I would expect from a Marine. I was way behind, working and trying to get past a lot of personal issues. They were there not only for the process but to guide me and always encourage me to look ahead. I closed on my house today and from start to finish they are a 15 out of 10. If you want not only the nest of the best but also a team that works for you and works for getting you to your goals-Call them and have them, take care of you. They are truly Extraordinarily Legendary."

Chris sold 2 houses for us, 25 years apart! We obviously had a great experience in 1996 and looked him up in 2021. He sold both of our houses in 3 weeks. His expertise, friendliness, and above and beyond service us why I would recommend him to everyone. Thanks Again Chris...it was great working with you again!

Chris and his team were so amazing to work with. We have gone through the home purchases over the years and not one of them was as pleasant as this one. The team’s expertise, professionalism, communication, and attention to detail was outstanding! The process was easy and enjoyable. We can’t give them enough praise!
We highly recommend Legendary for all your real estate needs. They will not disappoint.

We had a great experience purchasing a home using Chris and his team. Everyone at Legendary was informative, super responsive and just a pleasure to work with….an all-around great group of people! Our purchase was not an easy one due to multiple factors, but Chris did an excellent job of guiding us through the process and making sure that we were comfortable every step of the way. Would highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.
