Gayle Stellas, Baird & Warner

We have had two other realtors and we liked them a lot. However, no realtor can hold a candle to Gayle! Gayle is personable, knowledgeable, and she truly advocates for her clients. She understood our needs better than we did, and she worked hard to be sure we found a home that worked for our family. She has also become so dear to us. We could not have asked for a better realtor turned friend!

As the saying goes, 'if I look in the dictionary under 'Real Estate Agent extraordinaire', you will find Gayle's picture. All kidding aside. To us, there is only one person that comes in at number 1, and its Gayle. I have never sold a house before and the prospect was very intimidating. I consider myself fortunate that I had known of Gayle and knew that she was a Real Estate agent, but for all of you who are not that fortunate, to have known her, I cant tell you strongly enough, Gayle is the one and only Real Estate agent you will ever, ever need!!!!! The first daunting question which overwhelmed me was and how do you narrow the field down from all the many Real Estate agents and companies that are out there and pick the right one? , What really cemented my decision to hire her is that I actually had inadvertently heard her taking about real estate to another. At that time I could hear the passion in her voice about representing her clients, when I had heard that I knew that, my search was over, she was that agent that we needed to choose. When we made the decision to go with Gayle she took over a process that went from slow, with us, to overdrive, with her in the drivers seat. She moved at a very methodical, determined and precise pace. From the first day that we hired her, she went right to work, immediately she laid out a plan for us to get the best price, at the maximum profit. She then brought her dedicated and talented team of professional and experienced photographers to shoot the rooms of the house. She then created a brochure, featuring those pictures, along with a text describing the highlights of the house and property, inviting and enticing prospective buyers to view this property. It was now time to show the house to perspective buyers. In my line of work I hear pitches form salesman all time and they will say anything to have me buy their product. In the same way, Gayle has heard all the stories from prospective buyers and she can see right through their 'tall tales' of why they should not pay the asking price. When Gayle told me that one of the first persons she saw was working her before they entered the house' I knew I picked the right person for the right job. Gayle is only interested in the very best deal for her clients and she will accept nothing less. Next are the contracts, and Gayle and her team are experts at preparing them. Having years of experience navigating this legal process, in order to write the best contracts which covers every single legal mater. Gayle will lead you though step by step, answering all your questions. Another invaluable trait that you get with Gayle services is that she is able look 10 steps ahead of everyone at all different scenarios, that might affect the sale of the house, such as what if this goes wrong, then it could have a domino effect and the result could effect our final price, so is it worth our attention?' She is so knowledgeable, predicting and pointing out what the buyers agents questions will be, enabling the sellers to address those issues before they become an concern. In the end our house sold in the month, which I never thought possible. Gayle set a price, which was fair market value, but because of her style and salesmanship she was able to start bidding war, in which we ended up with a much higher price than we started with. When the house sold we finally came to the end of this journey and it was only through the efforts of Gayle and her expertise in the area of Real Estate. Her effervescent personality, attention to every single detail, coupled with her kind and gentle manor, professionalism along with her knowledge and experience are why, in our eyes, she is absolutely the best at her craft. In conclusion, to all those reading this review I can say, unequivocally, without reservation or hesitation and in all confidence, that I whole heartedly recommend in the strongest possible terms, Gayle Stellas and her team of professionals at Baird and Warner for the purposes selling, or buying real estate or a house!!!!!!

Gayle is one of the most professional Realtors I know. Even though I have been in the Real Estate business for many years, we had Gayle find our new home on the North Shore. Our criteria were quite specific being our third home in the Glenview/Northbrook area. With her tenacity and referral network, she was able to locate and negotiate the purchase of our new home which checked all the boxes. We could not be more pleased and happy. Thank you Gayle!

My husband and I are very grateful to Gayle for her exceptional help during our search for a home in the north shore area and while we were still living in Denver. Gayle's extensive and comprehensive knowledge of our location of interest, her diligence, as well as her attention to details were key for us to successfully be able to buy the house we wanted and, in the location, we were targeting. This was our third time purchasing a house and we had the best support by far. Gayle went above and beyond to not only help us search and purchase, but she also taught us a lot of things about the houses and communities we were interested in. Gayle continues to be a source of help and support for us even after we bought the house, as she is very knowledgeable and always ready to help. We highly recommend her to all of our family and friends.
