Stephanie Sullivan

Stephanie was born in Texas with dual French/American nationality, and after receiving her B.A. in Communications from Trinity University in San Antonio, she moved to Chicago to earn an M.F.A. in Acting from DePaul University. Stephanie has worked for many years in sales and spent three years managing a leasing brokerage. With a father and brother who are both in this profession, Real Estate seems to be in her blood!

Having lived both in Evanston and in several of Chicago's vibrant and culturally diverse neighborhoods, Stephanie's knowledge of the city and all it has to offer makes her a valuable resource to clients and friends. When she isn't showing homes, you'll find her trying a new restaurant, spending quality time with her family, taking her dogs to the beach, or checking out the latest in Chicago Theatre. You may even see her on stage!

Stephanie's approach to working with clients is simple: nothing is more important than your home, your life, your needs! Buying or selling a home is such an important event in an individual's life, and Stephanie prides herself in putting client needs above all else. When working with her you can expect the process to be professional, easy, hassle-free, and even fun! She knows that communication is key, and will explain the process in detail. Stephanie's ability to listen, read people, and negotiate the heck out of something when duty calls, makes her the kind of person you want on your side at all times!

What My Clients Have To Say

• 
  Being a first time homebuyer, I was overwhelmed by the prospect of jumping into the real estate market. Stephanie was not only incredibly easy to talk to; she's trustworthy, honest and has a wealth of experience and knowledge. When we found the perfect home, we were afraid that it would be beyond our means. Stephanie came up with creative solutions to stay within our budget and she never let us give up even after our first offer was rejected - she continually came up with solutions as to how we could make things work. We not only ended up with the house of our dreams, but we stayed well within our financial means. She continually went the extra mile for us, helping to sublet our apartment so that we could move into our new house without any loose ends. There are so many people involved in the home buying process and we had some suggestions from friends for inspectors and lawyers, but ultimately went with Stephanie's referrals and couldn't have been happier. Buying my first home was an incredible experience because I had Stephanie with me every step of the way; I can't imagine what I would have done without her!

  My wife and I would like to thank you very much for all your help in finding and closing on the condo unit at Park Millenium. All throughout the process, you have consistently been very nice, very responsive, highly efficient, and very knowledgeable. We especially appreciate the fact that you communicated with us very effectively by email or by phone. You responded to our issues and queries in a timely fashion. Even though it was not necessarily your job, you helped explain many of the complexities of the process that we had difficulty understanding the explanations of the banker or the attorney. You also very effectively and professionally acted as liaison between us and the other parties involved (lender, attorney, and seller). We felt that you were our adviser and ally all throughout this complex process. Most importantly, you played a crucial role in helping us finally close on the unit. If it were not for your diligent research and quick thinking, we would not have found our alternate lender in a timely fashion that led to completion of the purchase. We were very impressed by the amount of time you dedicated to our case and your diligence in finding answers and solutions to the challenges that were presented to us through this process. You made us feel like we were the only ones you were working for, although obviously you have more clients than just us. This is very important and reassuring for investors like us who live out of state. By being so, you did not just make a sale but you built a strong relationship that we're sure will last a long, long time. In fact, we were glad that you also agreed to help us rent out the unit that we just bought. For our future real estate purchases in Illinois, you will definitely be our go-to person to help us find our next investment property.
  
  Best of luck to you in all your endeavors. Once again, thank you very much.
  
  Regards,
  Terence and Josephine Angtuaco

  I recently purchased a condo with the help of Dream Town Realtor, Stephanie Sullivan. She did an amazing job of guiding me along through this long process. She was extremely organized when identifying potential properties and was available at all times with answers to my questions. She displayed excellent knowledge of the market and was able to efficiently identify the properties that fit my interest. She made wonderful referrals for home inspection, attorney, and lender that allowed the whole process to be successful. When I ran into trouble with my original lender, she personally helped me find another lender who could cater to my unique financial situation. She was very honest and thorough in helping me negotiate with the sellers highlighting all the pertinent issues. Coming from out of state, I was impressed with how often she went out of her way to help whenever she could, no matter how big or how small the issue was. She continued to fight for my best interest all the way until the end, even at the closing table. She continued to offer help even after I moved into my unit. I would highly recommend Stephanie Sullivan to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

  Stephanie Sullivan came as a recommendation from a friend, and I can't imagine going through the process of purchasing a condo without her help. She made the entire process as painless as possible and went above and beyond in order to make me feel comfortable. She was extremely responsive to any questions I had (sometimes responding to email or calls within the hour), was very informative, and helped guide me through a difficult loan and closing process. She personally went out of her way to help push my offer through, and to make sure that everything ran according to schedule since our time-frame was short and I needed to move out of my apartment within 2-3 months. It was overwhelming at times as a first-time homebuyer, and I cannot stress how invaluable Stephanie was as a realtor and as support. I ended up with a condo I couldn't have even imagined was within my budget thanks to Stephanie. She was a pleasure to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.
