Introduction

My name is Andrew Stoll, managing broker & owner of Stoll Real Estate. SRE is a boutique brokerage with a primary focus on customer service and results. I have been serving the Chicago area for over 10 years. At SRE, we pride ourselves on being small but delivering big results. We are a growing team with the capability, experience, and results to help you buy, sell, invest, and property manage any residential real estate. We are proud to say we rank in the top 5% of all Realtors in the Chicago area and have stellar reviews across the internet! For property management clients, our PM arm of the company is DoorLogic Property Management. With DLPM you will get a full-time, full-service, management team that guarantees our service. Being a boutique brokerage allows us to offer some huge advantages to our clients: * More negotiable on rates * Quicker response time * You get a more hands-on experience * You receive personalized guidance and advice * and much more My team is trained to not build a collection of transactions, but a collection of relationships. We don't just help clients buy, sell, rent, or manage (which we're quite good at), but we dive in and understand people, learn who you are, connect, and that's the best way to help someone achieve their real estate goals. Our business, at its core, is a people business, not a houses business.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

When buying with us, we'll give you a cash credit back that you can use toward your closing costs (down payment, home inspection, appraisal, etc.). When selling with us, we offer listing plans as low as 1.5%. Our goal is to provide you with several options so you can pick what's best for you. One thing is certain, though, we provide 100% customer service with all of our plans.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

When working with a new client, it's important to have a consultation prior to moving forward, just to ensure that we are the right fit for you, and you are the right fit for us. If you're a seller, we'll schedule an interior walk-through of the home you'd like to sell. This will allow us to discuss the value of your home, the value of the services we offer, and other strategic ideas to make sure you get the most equity out of the sale of your home. If you're a buyer, I'd love to sit down and buy you a coffee, and discuss your situation, what you're looking for, and how we can successfully find you the perfect home.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

My career in real estate began as an investor. I started off buying, rehabbing, and selling homes (I still do). I decided to get my broker's license so I could sell the homes my partner and I were rehabbing. After working with my very first client outside of the investing, I was hooked. The service and value I was able to provide that client, and the appreciation and satisfaction they felt, really inspired me. I've been a people-person my whole life. I have a background in the service industry and truly enjoy working with and helping others. Before I got into real estate, I was never extremely interested in houses, but it was my passion for helping others that facilitated my passion for real estate. I soon realized that real estate is just as much a people business, as it is a business about homes, and from that point I knew I had a career in helping other buy and sell real estate.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We have extensive experience in all aspects of real estate. We represent every type of client: home sellers, home buyers, real estate investors, luxury real estate sellers & and buyers, first-time home buyers, relocation, those affected by divorce, estate sales, veterans, et al.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We have set several price records recently (which isn't uncommon for us). We were able to obtain multiple offers for one of our sellers and after some negotiating, they were ready to accept an offer from the buyer. Most agents would just agree and get the house under contract but I was honest with my clients and said, "I think we can get more. Based on my discussions with the agent, I think the buyer has a little more room." Being aligned with my client and having them trust me, we countered the offer and were able to get even more for the house. There's no better feeling that helping my sellers get as much as possible for their homes.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

When looking for a highly qualified real estate agent, make sure they have the following: * Qualifications. Not all real estate agents are Realtors, so make sure your agent is a Realtor, as they are held to a higher standard of ethics. * Seller & Buyer Designations. Some Realtors choose to achieve a higher level of education, training, and knowledge, in order to help their clients buy and sell real estate. This excellence is shown with ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) & SRS (Seller's Representative Specialist) designations. This additional training and education puts certain Realtors at a huge advantage to assist their clients. * They have excellent ratings and great reviews across the internet.
