Working with Kiara has been an incredible experience. She helped me purchase my first investment property—a 3-unit building in South Chicago—as a veteran buyer. When I first reached out to Kiara, I was looking for guidance on how to use my VA loan since I already owned a single-family home. She immediately connected me with a knowledgeable lender, and together they walked me through every step of the process. From our initial conversation to closing, everything was completed in under four months! Kiara’s support didn’t stop at closing—she’s now helping me transition into my role as a landlord and is assisting with finding new tenants. Her dedication, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients truly stand out. I highly recommend Kiara, especially to fellow veterans who want to take full advantage of their 0% down VA loan benefits. She knows the process inside and out and is a true advocate for her clients. I walked away with $4,800.00 because of her hard work and expertise!

Back in November of 2021 Covid was still a thing, and the apartment rental prices were through the roof. So we decided to test the home buying market with interest rates being at an all-time low. While not being very educated on the process, we looked to the many numerous home buying apps. These apps gave some information but were lacking both the human touch but also real-life information. With no success on these apps, we turned to friend at the time that we now considered family to help us with this process. Kiara Poole with Ani Real Estate, was the best decision we made in 2021 and she made a process that people call strenuous, a walk in the park. It’s truly hard to put into words just how good she is at her job, being that we were first time buyers she truly walked us through every step of the process. Like most young couples we lacked the information and guidance, and she provided both on top of having a team of professionals we would need for the process. Kiara scheduled weekly

I recently worked with my realtor to sell my 2-unit rehab property in Chicago, IL, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and patient throughout the entire process. Living out of state, I truly appreciated how hands-on she was—visiting the property on my behalf, meeting with contractors, and providing regular status updates on the renovation. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything stayed on track. Once we were under contract, she made sure the transaction moved forward smoothly and efficiently. Her professionalism and communication gave me complete confidence every step of the way. I highly recommend working with her, especially if you’re an investor or seller. She’s reliable, experienced, and genuinely committed to her clients’ success.
