During our residential property search and living experience in downtown Chicago, we have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Stephanie Maloney for over 17 years.When we first met Stephanie, she was working for Belgravia, the developer of the property which would become known as 600 North Lake Shore Drive (NLSD). While we had met with her earlier to explore the units that would eventually be available, we began working with her in 2009, when our property search became more serious. As a representative of Belgravia, she worked with us to find the unit that best served our needs as a secondary residence. She stood by us through the entire purchasing process, until we closed in July, 2009. In the years that followed, Stephanie remained a close friend and confidante on all things related to the building. Fast forward approximately 15 years to when it was time for us to put our unit …
During our residential property search and living experience in downtown Chicago, we have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Stephanie Maloney for over 17 years.When we first met Stephanie, she was working for Belgravia, the developer of the property which would become known as 600 North Lake Shore Drive (NLSD). While we had met with her earlier to explore the units that would eventually be available, we began working with her in 2009, when our property search became more serious. As a representative of Belgravia, she worked with us to find the unit that best served our needs as a secondary residence. She stood by us through the entire purchasing process, until we closed in July, 2009. In the years that followed, Stephanie remained a close friend and confidante on all things related to the building. Fast forward approximately 15 years to when it was time for us to put our unit at 600 NLSD on the market. The only agent that we would have even considered for listing our property was Stephanie. Over the years, we realized that she knew more about the property than any other realtor, due to her continuous involvement since the building was under construction. When we initially approached her several years ago about possibly selling our unit, she was quite honest in advising us that it was probably not the best time to be selling a one-bedroom condo in Streeterville. We took her advice and again approached her at the end of 2024. She suggested that we put our unit on the market right after the first of the year (2025). Stephanie was extremely helpful in making suggestions as to improvements that should be made before we listed the property. I cannot begin to praise her enough for her assistance with arranging the contractors to refresh our property while supervising their work. Based on her efficiency, we were able to have the improvements completed and list the property the first week of 2025, right on schedule. While our unit was on the market, Stephanie kept us constantly updated on the showings and feedback received. Our first of 3 offers was received within a month after the propertywas listed; we were under contract within 2 months of the listing. We credit Stephanie and her knowledge of both the building and the Streeterville market with our being able to sell the property in this extremely short timeframe. Since we went under contract, Stepanie has continued to provide her expertise in connecting us with our closing attorney, helping us sell our furniture prior to closing, and serving as a liaison between us and 600 NLSD building management and maintenance staff, resulting in a seamless process.We can’t credit Stephanie enough for her incredible work in assisting us with the sale of our property. Her professionalism, integrity and desire to meet client needs are unmatched. During our many moves which have all involved buying and selling real estate, we have never had an agent who matched Stephanie’s professionalism, skillset and performance.
I cannot say enough about how much Stephanie brought to the table in helping me sell this property given the market conditions and my situation. Her knowledge and huge network in the area downtown area was invaluable. During the process she handled numerous issues with the unit, and quickly secured contacts needed to get things done in a timely fashion. She is more than pleasant to work with and goes above and beyond in every aspect of the process. I highly recommend giving Stephanie a call to help with buying or selling in Chicagoland.
Stephanie is in a class by herself as a realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and pricing. She personally attends all aspects of the sale process (showings, inspections, etc.). The sale of our condo could not have gone any smoother. Stephanie had it sold before it was even listed and had resources available to expedite every step of the sale. She genuinely cares about her customers and it was a pleasure dealing with her. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Simply put, Stephanie delivers! Her approach with clients is strongly based on building a lasting relationship, as I had worked with her for years in renting my unit prior to selling it. Demonstrating a tireless work ethic, Stephanie consistently went above and beyond assisting with property management activities leveraging her extensive service provider contacts easing the burden for me as an owner. So, when it came time to sell, there was no question that Stephanie was the right person. She guided me through every aspect of the sale, and was creatively able to provide me the highest return by separating the parking and property transactions. Given her commitment to her clients, extensive knowledge of 600 Lake Shore, and in-depth market and Streeterville knowledge, she is a partner to her clients in every sense of the word in order to ensure a successful outcome.
