Testimonials
"
Stephanie was a pleasure to work with every step of the way. We had a short time frame to find a place and she was always on top of things and really listened to help us find the right place. We hit a few bumps in the road and she was always very professional and worked hard to get us there. I would definitely recommend her to friends looking for an agent.

I'm lucky to have Stephanie as my first realtor. She showed me there is so much more to buying a condo than looking at pretty pictures on the internet. Advice like this made me feel much better about my purchase. So grateful.

Stephanie LoVerde did a fantastic job selling our condo! We got a full price offer the day after it went on the market! She is very knowledgeable, personable, and has great energy! She answered all our questions, and helped us resolve any situation big or small that presented through the process. This was very important for us since we live in the west coast. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who wishes to sell or buy a home in Chicago.

Stephanie was our second agent in the property that we were selling.
The difference was night and day - her dedication, knowledge of the market and over kindness was amazing.
I wish I knew more people that needed an agent - I would highly recommend her.
Thanks Steph
Love,
Your Mom!!!!!

Thank you Stephanie, you have been amazing!! You have taken such good care of X and it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully when our nephew goes to buy his place in the city he will use you. We will make sure that he knows how really good you are. Thank you for all you have done! You are top notch true professional.
"
- Ann M. (buyer's niece)
"
Stephanie is a gem! We felt completely confident with her judgment and advice throughout the process of our home sale. She is incredibly knowledgeable and savvy. Stephanie went above and beyond multiple times to support us, whether it be by putting a delivery in our freezer or offering to move some furniture out after the walkthrough, if needed. She was also responsive and proactive with her communication every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Stephanie is our good-to realtor. She has sold two condos for us us, and in very short timeframes. Both were under contract much faster than we could have anticipated. Thanks for all you do!

Where do we start? I guess at the beginning!
My husband and I bantered around the idea of selling our condo at the beginning of 2021. Over the first lockdown of the pandemic, I was binge watching HGTV, and we both had an understanding - we need to put our best attempt when we first go to market.
He had been following Stephanie for a while on social media. He had come to appreciate her hustle and know-how of the City. We discussed it and decided she was going to be the realtor we chose to represent us.
We met with her, and she agreed that our condo was in need of some sprucing but not a major overhaul. She walked in and saw what we loved about the place, and who the potential market is.
She has contacts in the trades, for example, if you don’t have someone to refinish floors - she’s “got a guy.” She also helped us keep on track as this was a type of project neither of us navigated before. She provided recommendations for colors and really helped us fall in love with our old place again.
We went to market on a Thursday evening, and had multiple offers. We accepted one offer on the following Tuesday! Less than a week and BOOM - our collective hard work paid off - hers with her guidance, ours with getting the place ready, and Stephanie driving it home with the offer and purchase.
We can’t recommend her enough. We’ve found a Chicago realtor for life!!

We want to sell our house. Can you clone yourself in Michigan?
"
- Steve S. (via social media)

Steph was absolutely fantastic. We were first time homebuyers and she made our experience so enjoyable! She was extremely responsive even at the craziest hours of the day. She always acted as though we were her only clients (even though I know that's definitely not true!). She was so knowledgeable about the real estate market, different neighborhoods, prices and costs, the inspection process, everything. I actually got to the point where I didn't feel as though I could move forward with an offer until I was sure that Steph also agreed that the house was a smart choice for us! I trusted her opinion that much. I will recommend Steph to everyone I know, even strangers on the street. WE LOVE HER!
"
- Alix & Tony I. (buyer)

WOW!! Congratulations! Great job! Was so happy to see 2941/502 listed among your summer successes! Stay true to you. You are doing great!! So glad to know you!

I can tell from the short time I've been working with you that you are very motivated and patient with your clients. I'm glad I have the pleasure of working with you.

Stephanie was a pleasure to team-up with. She is very knowledgable and has a way with words that clearly shows her maturity and understanding of the importance all of this plays in conversation as well as negotiating. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly skilled agent. Thank you Stephanie!
"
- Malgorzata Kujawa
"
Stephanie was very knowledgeable about the areas we were searching in, and she was always quick to respond to all of our questions and set up showings. When at an open house or showing she'll point out the pros and cons of a property and always gives her honest opinion. She is experienced at negotiating and always kept us in the loop with the status of offers we put in.
"
- Kurtis H. (buyer)

Thank you so much for your patience with us in our search. You were amazing! These things end rather abruptly, don't they?? Hopefully we will see you sometime again soon.

We’ll have to do this more often, Stephanie, I wish others were as efficient!

- Patrick L. (cobroker in transaction)

Thank you! I can't tell you how many people I have to described you to as better at her job than anyone else I know is at their job. You've made this as easy as possible for us as we've gone from full on scramble mode to having plenty of time to spare on the back end.

Stephanie recently sold my condo in the city and it was a breeze. If you are looking for someone to jump on your listing, who desires to sell your home as much as you do, who streamlines the process for you so you barely have to think about it, then definitely give her a call. She is a complete professional, a pleasure to work with and absolutely on top of all of the details! There are many realtors in the city but I have no double that I picked the right one.
Thanks Steph!
"
- Nicolette Grieco
"
You're the best!! Thanks for your hard work :-)
"
- Carolina F. (buyer)
"
I really appreciate you showing. To pay you a compliment - you have all of the knowledge on the property and had a terrific presentation. Not all agents are as together, and you made these clients feel very comfortable and welcome. Thank you!
"
- Michelle M. (@properties agent)
"
Once again, Stephanie, I wanted to compliment you on your professionalism and personal nature. The deal for either of the other two homes on our short list didn't come together because of dishonest (and in one case unethical) practices by the listing agents. I will recommend you to friends that are looking to sell or buy in your areas.
"
- Nino D.
"
Stephanie is one of the really really good ones. She will work her tail off for you, and is a true hustler. This is the type of person you want on your side when buying or selling. She's creative, thinks outside the box, and will work her tail off to get you what you want. She priced my house at more than I thought I would get for it, and it sold for exactly what she priced it at. There were some hurdles which she navigated with poise and confidence. Her team she works with (attorney, insurance, etc etc) are all top notch as well.
"
- Leila U. (seller+buyer)
"
Pure energy is the best way to describe Stephanie. She works hard, always looking to help you achieve your goals always with an eye on making you better at what you do. You can't help walking away from a one on one session better armed to succeed and with more energy to attack your job.
"
- Philip S. (B&W colleague)
"
Stephanie is extremely knowledgeable and an honest communicator. She did a fantastic job marketing my property which we ended up selling very quickly (with multiple offers!!!) I would gladly work with her again and I recommend her to everyone who is looking for a realtor.

I met Stephanie LoVerde at an open house early Feb. I was never a huge fan of realtors based on a few past experiences. Stephanie was very different and not at all pushy. She asked me if I was currently using an agent to help me find my new home -- the answer was no. I explained to her why and she offered to help and that my experience would be quite different. SHE WAS RIGHT. The most impressive thing about Stephanie was that when we found a property I wanted to make an offer on, she met with me and had so much information about recent sales, other units on the market and units currently pending. The price we agreed on a was solid offer, even though the seller did not accept she assured me the offer was very fair. She did not pressure me to keep raising my price. In addition, she presented the sellers agent with her information to support our offer. I have bought and sold several properties over the years all by owner, Stephanie proves a great agent can be a tremendous help. My search with her continues and she is a tribute to her profession.

Thanks Stephanie! You have been an amazing help, and we can't wait til we're ready to buy and use your services and expertise! Xoxo

Stephanie is honest and hustles for the greater good. We are in LOVErde!
"
- Donna Mohamed
"
I would have to be a complete idiot to fault you for doing your job so well that you were able to sell so quickly at a price that is fair for all. One of those same friends said why didn't you just sell it yourself? This is also a foolish question. I wouldn't perform surgery on myself either, which is why I hired a professional. I wouldn't want to and I am not capable of all the work you have done on our behalf. For those reasons alone it is a no brainer. So good luck to anyone who wants to go it alone but X and I are very grateful that X recommended you and continue to be amazed/impressed/blown away by just how good you are at your job.
"
- Tim B. (seller)
"
Stephanie is unbelievable at her job. Her dedication and expertise are top notch. Her personality is perfectly suited for this position. I've met many realtors and they all have sort of a "realtor feel". Not Stephanie. She is real and genuine. She takes you through every step of the process with such patience and kindness and you never feel silly for asking a question or asking for more information. She makes you feel like you are #1 even though she is working with many clients at the same time. From start to finish, Stephanie is there for you 24/7 and is just such a pleasure to work with. We are so thankful she helped us to purchase our first single family home! We have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!
"
- Kristy M. (buyer)
"
It'll probably be a couple of months before X and I are fully settled, but we can't thank you enough for hanging in it with us! I'll be in touch soon and we'll have you over. :)

Stephanie was awesome to work with when we sold our condo! She helped us navigate the home selling process and was always available to answer questions/concerns. We had owned our place for over 10 years. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable with selling and wasn't pushy. When we voiced concerns about the rental market (since we had not rented in many years) and whether we would be able to find a rental, she quickly sent us listings even prior to listing so we knew what to expect and once we accepted an offer, she worked with us to find a rental in time for our closing. She helped us stage and declutter our place and the professional photos were amazing. With her great pricing strategy, timing to hit the market, and impeccable listing write-up and photos, we received multiple full price offers and she helped us navigate the offer process and obtain very favorable terms in the offer we accepted. Stephanie is a class act and we would highly recommend her to anyone!!
"
- Stacy W. (seller)
"
Stephanie was a tremendous asset for us both with our purchase and sale. We reached out to Stephanie without having met her based on a glowing recommendation. She asked no questions and was quick to get us in on short notice to see a new property on the market. Stephanie helped guide our thinking on what to offer. Based on that advice the sellers accepted our first offer. She's great at gathering intelligence from sellers and buyers alike to help put things in perspective - something many agents seem not well-equipped to do.
Stephanie also helped us through a very challenging issue in selling our current property. Through a combination of perspective, calling in favors to do photo shoots early and using her network as a top agent in the city, we had an offer that we accepted without even listing our condo and were able to close our sale within a week of closing on our purchase.
Stephanie has a good roster of contractors (photographer, home foundation experts, etc.) to help with issues as they come up - many who provide advice without charging a dime only asking you consider them if you do work on the property in the future. In fact, one of them spent more than an hour on the phone with us talking through potential issues on our purchase, without so much as a dime in his pocket (and he lives an hour away). She is also incredibly diligent with timelines and details and is communicative and responsive every step of the way.
We imagine it is very difficult to find this precise combination of skills and care anywhere in the industry. We'd highly recommend Stephanie for both buy and sell side.

Stephanie LoVerde sold my two flat and I highly recommend her as real estate agent. She has boundless energy and is always immediately accessible, regardless of time. She clearly had my best interests in mind, every step of the way. She is a sincere, persistent, and informed advocate for the purchase and/or sale of real estate and one would be well served if Stephanie LoVerde is your agent.
"
- Joseph S. (seller)
"
I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me sell my condo in the city. Stephanie was great at helping me prepare my place for sale, providing specific advice as to how to get it show ready. She was also great in helping me set appropriate price for the sale. My place sold for exactly what I was looking for, well above similar condos in the area. Condo sold first weekend on the market! She also helped me greatly with a law firm recommendation to help through the legal process. I would strongly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to sell their property.

Stephanie is a great realtor. Very knowledgeable about the market and a great communicator. Helped us throughout our transaction (Purchasing a new home) and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

Dear Steph, Cannot thank you enough; you gave me the courage and confidence to go for the sale of 2017 W. Cullom - my family's home since 1962... You are so hardworking, professional and knowledgeable in your field. Not one issue or problem was experienced through the entire selling process - besides being sold in 3 days with multiple offers. Have been recommending you to everyone whenever the opportunity arises.
"
- Luise M. (seller)
"
Stephanie is a great agent! She is very dedicated and knowledgeable about the market. Stephanie helped us find our new home and sold our condo in record time. She is very easy to reach and is a great communicator. I would certainly recommend Stephanie to anyone who is in need of a good agent.
"
- Erica A. (seller buyer)
"
We switched to Stephanie because our old agent was slow to respond and could not communicate well via email and text. Also, she had to do all paperwork with actual paper! Stephanie was very tech savvy and we needed that. Stephanie is awesome. I will recommend her to all my friends.

I can hardly believe it! Thank you so much! Wow, you are REALLY good at what you do!!! We'll be sure to let everyone know.

I have to confess I already looked you up on Linkedin and saw that you had 700+ Twitter followers as well. I set up my Twitter page a couple of months ago but have not really done much with it. You have inspired me to work on it as I think the electronic presence goes a long way. I also noticed your presentation when you made X's offer explaining where you and your client came up with the offer and what other properties you considered. I have to say that I have been a fair amount of contracts come across my desk and made note of yours.

My only regret is not calling you sooner! (After firing their first agent for dropping the ball).

Recently, I needed help selling my condo in 60611 and searched reviews and also sought testimonials and discovered Stephanie Loverde; she is exceptional. Unlike many realtors, she is technically capable with internet search engines, knows how to target people on the internet looking for specific property attributes, and understands positioning the property from the standpoint of what the buyer will want, which is not always what the seller wants to say. This is not the first residence I have sold, and she taught me a lot about de-cluttering, eliminating evidence of my personal tastes that could distract a buyer. She is energetic, resourceful, trustworthy. She had an open house and a bid within ten days. She is the real deal. Find this on Yelp.

Thank you so much for your all your help, you've been amazing! If you need anything else from us just let us know!

As a first time home buyer Stephanie was an excellent realtor to work with. She went above and beyond in the time she spent walking me through the whole process and answering all of my many questions. It was not uncommon for her to answer emails or text messages early in the morning or late into the evening. She provided me with great referrals/ introductions along the way from lender recommendations to a home inspector. I would definitely recommend Stephanie as a realtor for buying or selling a home in the Chicago area.
"
- Lisa R. (buyer)
"
Thanks to Steph, my husband and I purchased our very first home, a classic greystone three-flat in one of the best neighborhoods in Chicago. Now what made this proposition tough for any real estate agent was our desire to purchase a building that doubled as our home AND investment property in a neighborhood with a great Chicago public school. Steph was fearless and took on the challenge. She was patient with our questions and requests (being first-time home and building buyers) and highly empathic, understanding our emotional needs as well. Furthermore, she was available nearly around the clock! Steph was personable, truly caring, and a great agent. My husband and I love our building and our new neighborhood!

Stephanie,
We spoke and agreed to your 6% commission in the very beginning. In fact you deserve an even bigger commission.

- Keith R. (seller)

Stephanie has been an absolute angel for me, especially given my unique circumstances over the past year. I loathe the process of buying a new condo but she has made it easy, seamless, and shockingly fun. She is patient, hardworking, flexible, reliable, overly accommodating, highly intelligent, and in the best sense of the word—she hustles to get the job done in order to minimize the stress on all parties. Whether I’m buying or selling, she would be my only call and she is the only realtor we trust wholeheartedly to refer.
"
- Caitlin H. (buyer)
"
Our experience with Stephanie has been wonderful. She has made our selling experience an easy one. She does her research and really knows her stuff. We were beyond pleased with her availability and her commitment. She is a true asset to Baird & Warner.
"
- Kate H. (seller)
"
Stephanie was very helpful through the process of taking my rental property, rehabbing it, listing it and selling it. She recommended people to work with, some I used some I didn't, but the ones we used we were very happy with. Once the unit was ready to list the process went quickly and easily. After a few offers I received one I liked and Stephanie and her team made the closing process as painless as possible. I am very satisfied with Stephanie's professionalism and plan on using her as my broker again in the future.

There aren’t enough glowing adjectives in the English language to describe how absolutely wonderful Stephanie was to work with. I met Stephanie a few years ago when I thought I was ready to move….turns out I wasn’t quite yet, but I did tell her, when I’m ready you are the only one I’m calling…..and that is exactly what happened!
She sold my place on Day 1 and then persevered until she got me the one I wanted to move to!
Stephanie LoVerde is an absolute gem!
"
- Hillery Kraus
"
Stephanie was outstanding. Not only did she do a thorough analysis of our home's sale price, she helped us stage our home to show beautifully. Within 4 days we had an offer and she made sure it closed on time with no hiccups along the way.
"
- Mary K. (seller)
"
It always felt like Stephanie's number one goal was to ensure that I was comfortable with what was happening. Stephanie took the time to get to know me and to understood my needs. I never felt pressured or felt like she was just telling me what I wanted to hear. I trusted her judgement and guidance 100%. Stephanie was always attentive, readily available, and responsive. There is a lot of information around home buying, but I never felt overwhelmed. She always took the time to make sure I understood all the information that was provided.
Once we found a place to make an offer on, Stephanie moved quickly and strategically. I'm confident that I would not have secured the place I bought without her savviness and persistence.
"
- Matt Kehn

I can't express how thankful I am to be working through this with you. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do. You are a rock star Stephanie and your company should be very happy to have you. There are not many people like you that enjoy what they do and make sure their clients are happy.

Stephanie, Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend, but I wanted to congratulate you on your selection as Rookie of the Year by CAR. How cool is that, really! And now Rich tells me you've got an amazing month going. So I just have to say that I am so thrilled -- and not at all surprised -- at your success. Thank you for all of your hard work -- and for being such a team player as well.

Stephanie is incredible to work with. This is my second time working with Stephanie and the experience was excellent both times. Stephanie always provided valuable knowledge of the market which translated into getting the price I wanted for my condo. She has all the qualities of a stellar agent; knowledgeable, responsive, and an excellent negotiator. The process was smooth from beginning to end. Working with Stephanie was the best decision I made for both of my real estate transactions.

Chicago city and suburb friends - If you are buying or selling and aren't using Stephanie LoVerde you are missing out! For real. As someone who is in the process of buying a very complicated short sale- trust me. Call her now. Email. Fb. Whatever. You will not be disappointed!

This is our second time working with Stephanie, and we are so happy with the work she did for us. She not only sold our old house and helped us into our new one, but she did both for my mother at the same time. She puts up with no nonsense from anyone in the process (or protects us all from it) and has a good sense of when things are right or not.
We were taken care of and I would recommend her to anyone.

Stephanie was very helpful with understanding the market conditions as well as very patient with my parent during the sale. My parents had been in the home a long time. Her guidance helped ease the process of selling their home.

With all of the qualities that make an outstanding realtor, I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie LoVerde. She’s hard working, tenacious, thorough, energetic, and always positive and upbeat. She adds a personal touch to all of her work by giving each client the time and care they deserve, and does extensive research to tailor her presentations to the needs of each individual home buyer. Stephanie not only has a wealth of industry knowledge, but is well informed about each property she shows. Stephanie is truly passionate about real estate, and that passion really comes through in her stellar work. Find this on LinkedIn.

Stephanie and her team helped to secure an initial deal what was to our liking. As the process continued she advised that the requests being made seemed a bit excessive and proactively sought out another inquiry from a previous showing. The new buyer was still very interested and Stephanie got us a deal that was $6000 more than our initial offer. Her team was responsive and very helpful.

Stephanie and X were a fantastic team that I felt really worked not only hard for us, but extremely smart. They were able to take comments and turn them into positives for both us the seller and the buyer. I would not hesitate for a second in recommending them to anybody. I was very impressed and happy I chose them.

Stephanie was amazing! She takes a very exciting, yet stressful process and makes it easy, personal and in the end, she finds you your perfect home. She tirelessly works to hone in one what you like and don't like and continuously revises the homes she presents to her buyer. It saved us time, frustration and stress. I could not speak any more highly of this gal and she truly lives her career. If you want a perfect home in the perfect neighborhood at the perfect price...Stephanie is the gal to use.

I can not say enough about what an amazing job Stephanie did to sell my home and help me find a new home. She was available what seemed like 24/7. For my sell, the financing was not a traditional mortgage and she investigated the financing so I was comfortable. She keep in touch weekly with the buyers to ensure all was on track. During my buy process she helped answer any questions, negotiate a place for my belongings when my financing was delayed. During the whole process she was always available to answer questions and check into ensure I was comfortable with everything. I will definitely refer people to Stephanie.

Stephanie, you have done a stellar job and I’m impressed by your composure. You should come work on our trading floor. You would do well.

I hope all has been well with you. We didn't get to say much to you after the closing but X and I are truly grateful for what you did to sell our condo. You are great at what you do and we felt very informed, heard and respected during this process. Thank you for the time and energy you spent into this sale.
"
- Kate H. (seller)

In any event, X and X are very happy and really appreciate your work - they told us that many times. They discovered again that it's really great to deal with a professional.

Well, what you have just accomplished is nothing short of amazing. The way you have handled all of the pic picture things all the way down to the smallest details has been perfect. I great admiration for anyone who does their job well and you have truly exceeded expectations. When we tell people we sold after the first showing they are astounded. Of course the naysayers ask if we feel we priced it too low. We do not. It is a fair price. We aren't so dumb or greedy that we are unable to appreciate it just because you did your job so well (understanding you don't usually sell on your first showing... or do you?). Seriously, I look forward to writing great reviews wherever you think it will help you because I cannot anyone handling this better than you have.

Stephanie LoVerde is an excellent real estate agent and a wonderful person. Stephanie has an incredible work ethic and passion for real estate which was obvious with every communication I had with her throughout the process. This was my first home purchase and cannot believe how simple and organized everything was from writing an offer to closing. I was comfortable and trusted Stephanie from the beginning because of my brother's positive experience with Stephanie when he bought his property. I will certainly recommend Stephanie to family,friends, and coworkers who are looking to sell or purchase property. Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie LoVerde! She is the best in her field without question. She is so easy to work with and kept me calm during what can be a very stressful process, both on the buy side and sell side. I’ve used her twice for each process in the last few years and absolutely recommend her to the fullest. I love Stephanie, and love my home, and you will too!

Stephanie: As you probably know, I'm leaving City North and going to Coldwell Banker Lincoln Square. I wanted to say goodbye and to thank you for all you have done for me and the other agents at City North. You dragged the whole office into the 21st century and were always cheerful doing it. Rich and CN are lucky to have you. I sure I will see you soon since I'm only moving a few blocks away. Your friendly greetings always made coming to the office more pleasant. Thanks again.

We did look at a couple of properties yesterday with a X agent and one was of interest in Lincoln Park, however the agent herself was less than inspiring with the implication that a Fannie Mae was impossible to deal with, the market was SOOO hot, she was SOOO busy etc etc. X was very impressed with your overall attitude to the business and as this is her deal, we would like to work with you. That being said we have a second agent who is eager to put together some properties to view next Sunday. Before I cancel with him, would you be interested in working with us?

I wanted you to know that I would be glad to serve as reference for you any time. I have already told two prospective sellers about you. I told them the same thing X told me: “she is the most energetic, creative, and committed agent” in Chicago. If there is a place where people send comments for you to collect, tell me and I will write to that address so you can reprint my endorsement.

Stephanie was great. So happy I selected her to list my building that was (family owned for 50+ years since Nov 63).

Stephanie exceeded all measures. There were some challenges with the financing of the unit I was selling because of some minor litigation. Stephanie had the resources to recommend a lender who understood how to navigate that process. In the world of real estate there always seems to be some aspect of the deal which is unique to that transaction. The best agents have the experience and/or the resources to guide the transaction through the close. Stephanie is one of those BEST agents.

We are so grateful that we had Stephanie by our side during what was a very stressful transition into buying our new home and putting our condo on the rental market. She gave us the confidence to put in an offer on our dream home knowing that our only option for our condo would be to put it on the rental market. Stephanie worked diligently to find us a renter for our condo after our offer on our home was accepted. If it wasn't for her responsiveness and willingness for last minute showing requests, we would have found ourselves without a renter. During this process, Stephanie was not just a realtor. She was a friend, a therapist, and an advocate. She handled panicky daily calls and texts from us with calm and patience even while she was on vacation. Her responsiveness is bar none. She is simply the best!

Stephanie was very helpful in listing our condo. She recommended pricing our condo at the right price and she went in and worked very hard from day one of the listing. She was always communicating directly with us and looked out for our best interest throughout the whole process. We where very fortunate to receive 7 offers within the first week and we received over asking price. Stephanie is excellent at what she does and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a great realtor.

As first time home buyers, Stephanie was there to answer any questions and went above and beyond to satisfy our needs. If we ever move, we would be lucky to be able to work with her again :)

All my LA (Loyola Academy) or Chicago people looking for a house - I highly recommend Ms. Stephanie Loverde. She was an exceptional agent and got is exactly what we were looking for. We cannot recommend her enough.

I have had a fantastic experience with Stephanie and would highly recommend her. She is an excellent negotiator and had my condo under contract after only two showings and at an offer beyond my expectations. I am a first time home seller, so I was apprehensive about the process and had a ton of questions. Stephanie patiently walked through everything with me and was supportive for every step of the process. She is a top notch communicator and sets clear expectations. I also needed a bit of work done on the condo prior to sale and Stephanie recommended some vendors. They also upheld her high standard and completed the work quicky and professionally for a reasonable price. I am very impressed with Stephanie and her team. You can trust and rely on her every step of the way.

We were very lucky to have an exceptionally easy experience and no drama, but I think it speaks true to everyone onboard helping us, and Stephanie was so wonderful to work with the entire time. Have already referred her to many friends! Would work with her again and will stay and touch for sure.

We had originally listed our home in July of 2013 with a high profile agent in Chicago (you have probably seen many of his ads). Our Condo was a 3 bedroom 3 bath duplex down that had great space, lots of storage, and needed maybe a little updating in the kitchen. The biggest issue for most buyers was that the condo building was right next to the EL tracks. Our first agent normally sent one of his junior realtors to our showings/open houses and these agents were not able to work with buyers around the issue of the train. While this agent charged a lower commission, the personal service to both us and building relationships with the buyers was almost non-existent. We eventually rented out condo out since we couldn't sell it in a timely manner. This past November, as our renters were set to move out, we decided to list again. Stephanie was recommended to us by a couple of friends, including a friend whose condo she put under contract just a few weeks before ours. Stephanie is no nonsense when it comes to selling. Her commission rate was higher than what we had in the past but I can tell you she is more than worth it. Since we were no longer living in Chicago, Stephanie helped us with staging our condo, and even brought over many touches out of her own home to make it look nice for buyers. She developed very close relationships with buyers agents and the buyers. She could speak to many of the objections buyers had, including overcoming the train issue that our previous realtor could not seem to overcome. Stephanie worked extremely hard for us, above and beyond any realtor we had every used in the past.

My husband and I recently sold our condo and worked with Stephanie for the second time. She is excellent at what she does and we cannot speak more highly about working with her. Stephanie goes above and beyond as an agent. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and really listens to the needs and concerns of her clients. We would definitely recommend her to anyone we know looking to buy or sell a home!

Stephanie LoVerde is a very caring and patient agent. We highly recommend her. In our downsizing phase, she has diligently shown us homes in Chicago and the suburbs for more than a year. She was definitely instrumental for us finding the right place. We also recommended her to our son. Stephanie helped him find a home for his new family in Chicago. At the same time, she also promoted a tremendous campaign in selling our 2-flat in Lakeview - all of this in 2014! As you can see, she is a truly devoted sales agent.

We just closed on our home in which Stephanie was our realtor. In all of our communications Stephanie was prompt, attentive and innovative. She helped us sell our place before it was on the market at the price we were hoping for. Unfortunately for us we had major water damage in our place right after a contract was signed. Stephanie was key in handling all communications and interactions with the buyers and their realtor and lawyer. What could have resulted in losing our buyers turned out fine, mostly due to Stephanie and her amazing ability to ease others anxieties, communicate clearly and directly and promptly deal with difficult situations. I am so grateful we had Stephanie to manage this process for us. She made a really difficult situation so much easier as we quickly learned how much of our confidence we could put in her.

No one has ever worked harder for me as an agent. She looked out for our interests better than we could. She was constantly looking for ways to save us money or make our experience better. I would recommend her to anyone, regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, personality.... She is a true professional.
