Debra is the best!!!! We have worked for over a decade on several real estate sales and purchases, some rather complicated, and her expertise and guidance in these deals was invaluable. She is incredibly hardworking and dedicated.

Debra and Katharine did a great job helping to sublet/ rent our apartment. They sent out our listing to their realtor contacts and held one open house, and they had 12 offers above asking rental price. They rented the place for $600 above asking price after one showing!

I met Debra in passing, several years ago, while walking my dog through the East Lincoln Park neighborhood. Debra is an animal lover, and we enjoyed an instant connection. Years later, when making the decision to list my condo, I knew I should reach out to Debra. Debra is a consummate professional with decades of real estate experience. She arrived at our first meeting very well-prepared. She listens, she remembers, and she offers sage advice backed by diligent market analysis to effectively market a home. She is also patient and understands the inherent stresses involved in selling a home, doing everything she can to take away as much stress from her clients as possible. We were so happy with Debra and her team of professionals, including the photographer, videographer, graphic designer, and support staff who helped our home shine. Within a month of our first meeting with Debra, only a day after listing our condo, we had a very solid offer near full asking price. We also had a wonderful new friend in Debra. She never rushes and always takes time to connect on a very personal level. That is the Debra Dobbs difference!

I was a first time home buyer, and newly moving to Chicago. Kate put me at ease throughout the entire process. She was very knowledgeable about the real estate market, and was honest if she didn't think the property was worth investing in. She was also a lot of fun! Kate was so kind and patient when guiding me through the purchase process. She was extremely responsive and genuinely cared. Even after closing, Kate has contacted me to check-in and has answered additional questions I had. I can't recommend Kate enough! I was very lucky to work with her!

Kate was fantastic. We were purchasing a condo in the South Loop, and Kate knew many (if not all) of the buildings, knew a lot about the neighborhood, and knew just what questions to ask. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through our first experience with Chicago real estate. And most important to us, she gave us the perfect balance of utilizing her expertise--pointing things out we never would have noticed, but in hindsight, were so glad we did--and respecting our voice and preferences. Kate was also extremely responsive, flexible, and patient (with Covid, we looked for a long time as we continued to work remotely). Could not recommend Kate enough, especially for people who do their research but need that expert voice to guide them!!
