We have bought, sold, bought, and sold with Deb and her team and couldnt be more pleased! In each transaction she was quick to answer our calls and questions, she guided us into great properties and favorable terms, and we truly believe she has been the best agent to have on our side. We highly recommend Deb to our family and friends. Her knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods is second to none.

As first time homebuyers, having Deb guide each step of the way was truly a wonderful experience! Deb is highly knowledgable and a true expert in her field. She devotes so much time to her clients and is very responsive whenever questions come up throughout the process. She pays great attention to detail, especially when it comes to her client's wishes and concerns. We loved working with Deb and highly recommend her!

Before we met Deborah Hess in the summer of 2017, we had a very lackluster experience with our realtor. Which made the experience of working with Deborah on buying our home in Evanston so much more memorable and special. From the start, Deborah really listened to our needs in terms of budget, space and location. At the time our children were still very young, but Deborah helped us ask the right questions to zero in on the right neighborhood and school district, whereas our previous realtor had pretty much remained very tight-lipped and nonchalant about neighborhood and school quality ("You are free to look up this information on public record," she would say).Another major improvement when it came to working with Deborah was the quality of her listings and the thought she put into selecting homes for us to tour. After a few weeks, we had a few okay options, but nothing that really wowed us. We were almost ready to settle for a fixer-upper in Evanston, when Deborah had an inside scoop from a friend who was remodeling a home. That home would become our home, and we would never have found it without Deborah Hess!Once we took the tour, we knew we had found the right place. Of course there were some issues, like repairs we had to insist on and the previous owner lagging behind the timeline. Deborah was our advocate in all these steps and finally set a final deadline, after which we received a sizable credit for the outstanding repairs left undone. From there, Deborah connected us to an excellent attorney and walked us through to the finish line. We still enjoy our home and Deborah has made sure to keep in touch and helped us on other real estate projects. I cannot recommend Deborah enough and really feel grateful for meeting her that summer of 2017 and finding our first home in Chicagoland with her.

Deb is amazing. We just closed on our first home, though it was our third try. Along the way we encountered many unexpected bumps and disappointments, none of which any of us could have predicted. Deb was a rock through the whole process and always helped us remain optimistic while guiding us to the next step of the journey. She is knowledgeable, a tough advocate for her side, and most of all, kind. We were lucky to work with her.

Deb was excellent to work with and we'd highly recommend working with her for any real estate transaction. As first time buyers, she helped us understand the entire process and made sure we were making the right decisions along the way. She made the process very easy and we can't thank her enough for her guidance and recommendations.

There are so many great things today about Gil and our experience with him as first time home buyers. Right away he was so responsive and so easy to talk to! He listened and understood what we wanted and what our budget was and wasted no time in giving us any and all information we asked for or had questions about and right away was able to show us properties that from what we discussed would best fit our family needs. He was so wonderful with our girls during the whole process and took even what they wanted for a new home into consideration which was adorable!! He stuck to our budget and he was a master negotiator and he was always very transparent with all the details and information and what he thought would work or not work but he always kept our family and our needs first but was wonderful in guiding us with making decisions. During this process the initial goal was to gain a new home for our family and he not only delivered that with ease, kindness, professionalism, open and responsive communication but also with such a big heart and a love for what he does that we also gained a friendship with him. I am grateful to him for making the process much more pleasant than most had told us!- but for treating us like we were more than just clients and giving us that attention and care and patience during the process. TY again so much Gil for everything!JCV

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!
