Steve is amazing! This sale was not easy, the contracted buyers were difficult but Steve negotiated for us, put us first, advocated for us, and he always presented all information. He is an agent who cares deeply about his clients and he is always working for the client not his wallet. I would refer and recommend Steve to anyone! He's absolutely amazing!

Steve helped us find our first home and sell the last one. He worked with us countless hours and addressed all our concerns throughout the process. I highly recommend Steve and continue to do so to others. Had we not moved out of state we would have worked with him again for our new home. If we ever become snowbirds we definitely plan to call Steve to find our vacation home as he is trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable. He never made us feel like clients but always like family.

Steven is an outstanding professional, who combines the technical knowledge and experience with a perfect amount of tact and humor to make this a fantastic and easy experience as opposed to an exhausting business transaction.
Could not be happier with the amount of attention, focus, and effort as well as the final results!
Thank you, Mr. Goodman!

I received numerous emails regarding sales in the area from the agent and agency prior to being ready to list then property. I was impressed with the outreach.

Steve went above and beyond with securing the sale. He was present during any negotiated repairs in the house and helpful with determining what needed to be done.

Steve was always available and handled things with my elderly mother in a kind and understanding manner.

We had used Steven Goodmen when we bought our house and he was amazing so we decided to use him again when selling our house. He did an amazing job and was very knowledgeable about everything. He was honest and always available to answer questions we had. He was simply the best.

Steven knows his stuff. He listens and understands your home buying needs. I worked with him for 2 years and 99% of the time he answered the phone or responded to texts right away. He was very nice to be around and showed my family and I as many homes as needed until we found the right one! Just closed last month and I couldn’t have had a better realtor on my side. I can’t say enough good things about him! Just know that you’re in good hands.

Steve got us through the most stressful transaction you can make (selling your #1 asset) and made it look easy! He's a great worker who's always available, with a lot of technical knowledge of how to improve the value of your home, and what the market is looking for. The whole transaction went smoothly and incredibly fast! Thank you Steve!

Steve helped us buy our first home. He is very knowledgeable, approachable, personable and incredibly generous with his time. He understands his client’s needs very quickly and does a lot of homework before showing any house. He is also very detail oriented, answers all your questions and gives great advice. Overall we had a great experience working with him and would highly recommend to anyone for their real estate needs.

Steve was beyond patience during our search for a home. We had specific wants and needs.

He was involved during the sale and all the inspections, dealt well with the other realtor and attorneys, knew other professional inspectors to calm our anxiety over home issues, etc. He was even there at the closing, outside (due to covid19) if there were any questions or problems.

We appreciate all his help and will use his services again.

We have known Steve since we moved to Illinois over 10 years ago and bought the house we have just sold. He is a character who makes a great real estate agent. Honest, passionate, and to the point, Steve will weigh in with sound advice and do whatever is necessary to get the house sold.

Steve worked tirelessly to get our property sold! We had already moved out of state so he went above and beyond in order to make the entire process easy for us. He's the BEST :)

He was available on a holiday. He spent a lot of time helping
me get the property. I knew he had a lot of experience
and the owner was going to be difficult. His experience
helped to get the house.

If you are looking for a home, not a house, I would strongly consider Steve Goodman. The dedication he has to this field is really something I was not expecting. He supported us the entire way and was able to make us think in ways we didn’t know. This ultimately led to us finding a home- not merely a house as we were afraid at the beginning. That fear quickly diminished and we couldn’t be happier!

Steven Goodman was outstanding to work with throughout the entire process. Steve is very knowledgeable, provided invaluable information from the home walkthrough, home inspection and through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure.

I saw Steve's name on a listing site and couldn't help but notice his overwhelmingly positive reviews, so I decided to give him a call. Steve went above and beyond to understand exactly what I was looking for, and was able to work within my schedule to find me the right home. He was always prompt and ready to answer any questions I had during both the home search and closing process, and always got straight to the point--no beating around the bush. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Took a chance on a stranger to me ... turned out to be best realtor I have ever worked with. Knowledgeable. Smart. No BS.

Hoffman Estates, IL - Oct 14, 2016

Steve was extremely patient with me over 10 weeks of searching for my best fit home. He showed me a wide variety of different home styles and locations. He is very knowledgeable of the area which was important to me because I was moving from out of state. I enjoyed Steve's relaxed and friendly style and I never felt pressured to buy. Steve truly wanted me to find my perfect home no matter how long it took. I did, and I am so glad Steve allowed me the time to wait until I found it. Once I found it Steve moved quickly to negotiate a great price. I will always be grateful to Steve for his professionalism. I love my new home. Thank you Steve. I would recommend him to others.
