★★★★★
"Staci is a seasoned broker who was always looking out for us. She listened carefully and responded thoughtfully to all of our concerns and wishes, talking us through them patiently and with obvious expertise, and then backing whatever decision we made. It's clear she cares about her clients. And she knows the Chicago condo market (and units to avoid) like the true pro that she is. We recommend her highly." - Henry

★★★★★
"We were looking for a house outside of Chicago after my husband moved there for a job and I stayed behind with our kids. This made the house hunting pretty challenging, especially in this market. Staci really understood what we were looking for and was also great with our kids, which made things so much easier. She didn't push or rush us and was completely realistic about what we could expect. I don't think we could've done it without her. " - Dorota

★★★★★
"Staci has demonstrated professionalism and creativity throughout the years of renting out and the final sale of our apartment. She was always readily available to fix any unexpected issues and managed the property without our presence. Staci keeps an open line of communication and she is on top of anything that comes up, reflecting how knowledgable she is of the Chicago real estate market. Staci is trustworthy, creative, a great negotiator and well-connected; she possesses all the qualities one should want when choosing a real estate agent." - Petra

★★★★★
"Staci was very responsive and helpful in getting us into our new home. She aided greatly in our final selection, following about a dozen property tours. She has a deep working knowledge of the market, it's trends, and she really helped us separate our 'must-haves' from our 'wants'. We took her recommendations on a lender, inspector, and legal counsel, and every one of them was excellent. She was instrumental in helping us navigate the bidding process as well. I'd highly recommend her to anyone at all looking to buy or find a home in Chicago. Especially first-time buyers like us. Thanks, Staci!" - Emily

★★★★★
"Staci was awesome and a huge help with my move to Chicago. She knew an incredible amount about each neighborhood and asked questions during each showing that had never crossed my mind. She made sure that each property had everything I was looking for and was overall just a joy to be around. I would highly recommend her to anyone." - Elle

★★★★★
"Staci was always available, responded quickly to our questions, supplied documents in a timely manner with appropriate explanations, making our search process as easy and smooth as possible. Staci listened to our very specific needs and expertly guided us through a difficult move. She's personable and friendly and professional." - Barbara

★★★★★
"Staci is responsive, attentive, and knowledgeable about the Chicago area. She listened to the details that I wanted in a new home and she asked the right questions to fill in the gaps and provided me with a customized list of homes. Staci connected me with other experts who made my transition from offer to closing as smooth as possible. She always remained in communication with me, so I was aware of our progress, deadlines, and anything that I was responsible for doing to secure my new home. Above all else, Staci was honest with me throughout the process and empowered me to make the final decisions on my own." - Eric

About Staci
Having grown up in the northern suburbs, I lived in the city for 20+ years and worked in the northwest, southwest, and southern outskirts of Chicago for decades. I am your ultimate partner and resource. I know the housing markets and school systems in both Chicago and surrounding areas and work with renters, buyers, and sellers to achieve their unique goals.

With a background in social work and special education, I'm a great listener, negotiator and a patient problem-solver. Prior to real estate, I worked as a school social worker and special education administrator for 20 years. Remaining patient, calm, and in command in tense, demanding situations is my strength. So is my ability to help my clients determine what’s most important when making decisions regarding their home purchase or sale.

Raised in Des Plaines, I have lived in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and Logan Square after moving to Chicago when I finished graduate school. I received a B.A. in Psychology and Human Development from the University of Kansas, then went on to earn two Master’s degrees one in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the other in Educational Leadership from Chicago State University. I am also a licensed clinical social worker.

I specialize in assisting first-time buyers, as well as people relocating to the Chicagoland area domestically or internationally. In addition to my Illinois real estate license, which I acquired in April 2015, I earned the ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative) and SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designations to enhance my services and expertise. I have also worked in new construction, owned a condo that I eventually rented, rehabbed, and sold, and served on my condo board for many years, providing me keen insight into many areas of real estate.

In addition to my real estate career, I sit on the Board of Esperanza Community Services and volunteer at Gilda’s Club of Chicago and serve on the Chicago Compass Cares Committee. In my free time, I enjoy Pilates, strength training, cooking/baking, reading, traveling, and time with loved ones including my dog Wrigley.
