Client Testimonials

★★★★★ Darcy L. sold a single family house in Lake View:
“Chris Stockwell's ability to amass knowledge about my home, my neighborhood and my concerns - her dedication to guiding me through a process (which was an emotionally and physically daunting one) with professionalism and honesty - and the extra mile to which she went (unflinchingly) culminated in an end result of a sale price that exceeded my expectations and a transaction that was as pleasant as it was productive.”

★★★★★ Fred W. sold a house with a 3-flat, and bought a condo in Wicker Park:
“Chris worked with us on the purchase of our new condo and the sale of our old home. The sale of our home was complicated and challenging for a number of reasons, including that it included both a home and an investment property and was in a historic/landmark district. Chris stuck with us throughout a long process, working hard to keep things moving and helping us strategize as we encountered twists and turns along the way. She is smart, knowledgeable, hard working and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Chris whether your deal is simple or complicated. Either way she will get it done!”

★★★★★ Kim S. bought a condo in Bucktown:
“I highly recommend working with Chris if you are looking to buy or sell a home. As a first time buyer, she was incredibly helpful in my search for a new home. She worked with me to see whichever properties I was interested in and she asked all of the questions that I was not aware even needed to be asked. I never felt rushed or pressured throughout the process and when we finally found our home, she made sure that we had everything in order before closing day. Overall, Chris was amazing to work with!”
