The best way to find top real estate agents in Sterling, IL

“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”

“Working with Aaron was a wonderful experience from day one. From start to finish, the level of communication was top-tier—I was always kept in the loop and never had to wonder what the next step was. He was incredibly proactive and made sure we were completely prepared for every milestone, inspection, and deadline long before it arrived. The entire buying and selling process felt smooth and organized. Thank you, Aaron!”

“Kate Doyle is the best Naperville realtor. Honesty, knowledgable, integrity, patience and pure heart kindness with compassion describes Katie Doyle! Katie treated us like family! Katie communicated fast in minutes via text or call. A huge selling point for me. Katie is professional, positive, upbeat, kind, charismatic with a contagious genuine smile. Katie follows up post home sale quickly too while her personal investment is professional meeting all our needs pre and post buying! Katie alleviated my anxiety with a positive interpersonal approach which I so appreciated! My family connected easy and well with open communication! Katie demonstrated always a kind professional approach to buying my home in Naperville as this was my 7th home bought so I was a veteran too. Katie is smart and well deserved! Katie will be selling my other home too! We love you Katie Doyle! Thank you! Barbie C. Erika W. Skylar W.”

“This is my third time working with Robert, and there’s a reason I continue to come back! He is incredibly knowledgeable, straightforward, and truly advocates for his clients throughout the entire process. He gives excellent, honest feedback when it comes to staging and preparing a home for the market, and his attention to presentation—including fantastic professional photography—really helps a property stand out. He knows how to position a home to sell well and sell quickly. I’ve trusted him through three real estate transactions now and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, effective realtor who genuinely has their best interests in mind.”

“Selling our condo was a much smoother experience than I expected, and I truly have Larry to thank for that. From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly professional. Night or Day, weekday or weekend Larry answered the phone and communicated actively any information about the process to us. A true professional. He guided us through every step of the process, answered all of my questions, and always made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills. Larry advocated for our best interests every step of the way and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. We always felt like he had our back and never settled for less than what our home was worth. If you’re looking for an agent who is honest, strategic, communicative, and genuinely invested in their clients, we can’t recommend Larry Lazar highly enough. Selling a home can be stressful, but he made the entire process seamless. We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”

“We did not have any direct interaction with Ryan. However, we did have the pleasure of working with Lenny Wilkinson who is one the agents at Ryan's firm, All City Realty. We found ourselves in need of a ranch style home when I could no longer negotiate the stairs in our older two story home due to medical issues. We connected with Lenny through our mortgage broker who specialized in VA loans. Our mortgage broker had never worked with anyone in the Quad City area before, so he had no established connections here. He said he would locate a local agent we could work with, or we could find our own local agent. We decided to go with his recommendation because he had demonstrated that he had our best interests at heart and he had the experience of dealing with real estate agents on VA loans. I don't know how many local agents he actually spoke with. I do know that he had previously selected a different agent. But, ultimately he didn't feel his first choice was very enthusiastic about helping us find a home and not very responsive about returning phone calls or messages. He said that after speaking with Lenny, he felt that he had found the perfect agent for us to work with. All I can say is; we are grateful we had Lenny Wilkinson working for us in our search for a new home. Lenny was up front about what he could and couldn't do for us. He also explained the code of ethics he worked by. And, I am sure all the agents at All City Realty subscribe to that same code of ethics. Our first meeting with Lenny was February 11, 2026. My wife and I were positive we had the right man working for us by the end of that meeting. Lenny went right to work on finding us a home that would meet our needs. He started sending us listings of homes in our price range and that might meet our needs the very next day. He called or messaged us daily. He never tried to influence our decision in any way. And, in less two weeks we had selected a home and were ready to make an offer. Lenny suggested it would be better to wait a few days and then make our offer at a more strategically advantageous time. We took Larry's advice and our offer was accepted very quickly. There were few issues that were revealed during the home inspection. However, Lenny was able to negotiate repairs at the sellers expense before the closing. The thing we liked most about working with Lenny is he never tried to push us into making a decision. He always made us feel that everything he did was about making sure we found the prefect home. It was never about just closing a deal. If you are in the market to buy or sell a home, you can't go wrong contacting Lenny Wilkinson at Ryan Van Daele's, All City Realty Company.”

“Sandy is amazing!! She isn't the relator who is going to just push you into any sale. I love how she took her time with my family and I and helped us find the home we were looking for. She never cared what day or time it was, she was always there for us! On top her sticking by our side for over a year before we found a home, she even helped us sell ours!! I would recommend her to anyone trying to not only buy a home, but to sell a home too!”

Christine appeared to us to be far and away the most professional. thorough, personable, knowledgable of local conditions and aggressive in her marketing approach.
