"Deb is an amazing realtor and person. She is extremely responsive and attentive and truly cares about maximizing client outcomes. Her creativity and aggressiveness in helping to identify and close transactions set her apart. She is quickly becoming the realtor of choice for Ravenswood Manor, and has helped us with several transactions both in the Manor and elsewhere in the city."
- Matthew & Jessica | Seller, Ravenswood Manor

"Deb recently helped us buy our first home, and the process was incredibly smooth. She was careful to work within our budget and our very particular ā€œneed listā€. We were nervous to buy a house in a city we had never visited, but Deb and her team really pulled through. They happily FaceTimed us during open houses, and even went to the Alderman’s office on our behalf when we were not able to. Even after moving into our house Deb has been our go to resource for all things Chicago. You can tell she knows each neighborhood so well, and is happy to share her expertise with all of her clients."
- Natalie | Buyer, Lakeview

"From the second we connected with Deb (she called within minutes!), we knew we were in good hands for the sale of our condo. She knows the neighborhoods very well, and is an expert at making the complex things simple. Deb is an expert communicator – available seemingly 24/7. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to spend a lot of time with Deb – – because she sold the place so dang quickly! We were under contract, at asking price, in less than 48hrs. She also helped us navigate the buy of our new condo, which she made painless. Choose Deb – and her team! You’ll be in great hands."
- Abe & Derek, Albany Park

"Deb Hess helped us navigate a remote sale of our house with constant communication and a professional approach. She was instrumental in every aspect of the sale, from the initial open house to the final closing statement. Deb demonstrated her deep knowledge of the Chicago market, in particular the northwest side, instinctive timing, and care she took with us consistently throughout the process. Both Deb, and her colleague Christian, helped with all the minor details that come along with selling a home and went out of their way to stand-in for us at the home throughout the sale. I highly recommend Deb Hess and her team for Chicago real estate!"
- Anna & Josh | Seller, Ravenswood Manor
