Before & After

Testimonials

“We are incredibly grateful to have worked with Steph throughout the process of buying our first home. We could not have been in better hands from start to finish. Steph provided professionalism, support, and education throughout, and we truly felt eased by Steph's guidance in what would otherwise  have been an overwhelming process. She took to heart the goals we had in finding our first place and was conscious of our needs vs wants throughout. We never felt pressured to move faster than we wanted or as if we had to settle for a place that didn't feel right. Steph kept the right forward momentum, though, which allowed us to quickly find a place that felt like home. Her communication with us was superb, and in addition to her own expertise, she provided us with connections to trustworthy and knowledgeable experts that helped on the legal and financial side of things. We cannot recommend Steph enough and continue to do so to our friends and family! We will absolutely choose to work with Steph on any future home buying or selling processes. Thanks so much, Steph!”

“Steph is an incredible Realtor and a great teacher - her home buying seminar made me feel empowered. During my buy, she looked at every detail and kept my needs in mind every step of the way, not only in selecting the property, but also at the closing. She catered to my communication style and was  available when I needed her. She learned very quickly what I was interested in and quickly booked places for me to see, coaching me a long the way. She is an expert at offers and at short sales. Not only did she act as my advocate, but worked very well with my lender, attorney and the sellers’ staff. Additionally, Steph’s knowledge of the Chicago market is impressive. I couldn’t speak more highly of Steph and I hope you’ll consider asking her to help you in you home buying or renter needs. I have no doubt I will be working with her again.”

Gary - Bought a condo in Albany Park 2019

“I honestly do not know what we have done without Stephanie's expert advice and generous help. Having already relocated to a new city, we were not in a position to ready our Chicago home for sale on our own. Stephanie went above and beyond, lining up professionals for moving, repairs, paint, and  staging. When it came pricing our home, Stephanie's savvy was obvious when she provided many comparable properties and shared her recent experience in the market. Our home was on the market for less than ONE WEEK before we chose the best of three strong offers. Stephanie deftly handled the negotiations throughout the entire offer, inspection, and closing process. Because of Stephanie's attention to detail and hard work, we sold our home for right on list price and 35K more than similar properties in the same neighborhood. We received incredible value from her services! I cannot recommend Stephanie Malmquist highly enough. Anyone looking for a real estate agent who will work incredibly hard with creativity and integrity should schedule a meeting with her ASAP.”
