"Dear Joe- We want to thank you for everything you did to make our move to Chicagoland great. You came highly recommended from numerous Company employees and once Relocation informed me that you would be our realtor I was very relieved. Let me tell you all the things you did great:1. Contacted us within hours of being contacted by Relocation2. Spent an entire very cold Sunday showing us townhomes3. Providing useful information without us having to ask4. Taking my wife and mother around for an entire day and working late into the evening to finalize our contract5. Providing unparalleled references for flooring, appliances, window treatments and painting6. Hiring an assistant that "just gets it." She helped get our old appliances donated, coordinated our loan, insurance and other necessary processes to move7. Sending my daughter a gift for her 2nd birthday8. Spending 3 hours at our closing because our lender provided incorrect loan documents9. Showing up the day we moved in to ensure everything was going smoothly10. After the sale- unparralledled once again with letters, reminders and general interest in our lifeWe will recommend you to anyone we come into contact with who is looking to relocate to or from the Chicagoland area!"

""We have dealt w/5 different realtors during our past moves & Joe Stacy is by far the best realtor we've ever met." Joe's greatest assets are his extensive knowledge of the Chicago area, willingness to go the extra mile and his negotiating skills. When buying a home, Joe is very open and honest regarding the pros and cons of the home and the area. He assesses the market in the neighborhood to get his clients the best deal on a home. He worked long hours and did an excellent job with time management when looking at a number of homes. When selling a home, Joe does a great jov of marketing. The feature sheets and virtual tour were completed quickly, which helped ensure a quick sale of the house. Joe and his staff are excellent with returning calls and being accessible. Without reservation, we would highly recommend Joe Stacy. He won't let you down."

""As a result of the pro-active marketing efforts of Joe, we are happy to report our home sold in less than a week after it was listed." We want to commend your brokerage on their ability to employ such a conscientious and dedicated broker in Joe Stacy. From the minute we made our decision to go with Joe as our broker and met to discuss his marketing strategy, we knew we were fortunate to have him on our team. We greatly appreciated the personal attention Joe afforded us. No matter if it was 6:30am or pm, Joe was always available to lend assistance or answer questions-ALWAYS making it a point of keeping us informed. As a result of the pro-active marketing efforts of Joe and his assistant, we are happy to report our home sold in less than a week after it was listed.More than four months have passed since Mr. Joe Stacy of your office helped us sell our “Old” home and locate our “New” home. His service was most instrumental in making both of these transactions possible. Sitting here enjoying our new fireplace as Christmas approaches, I realize that we have much to be thankful for in knowing a "Not Your Average Joe.” For without him, I would not be writing this note from our new home given all of the “For Sale” signs that still blanket our old neighborhood. As you know, many of them were on the market long before we were and sadly, many remain there today in this very challenging year for property sales.This Christmas, our family gives extra thanks to Joe and his wonderful team for acting as an extension of our family in truly advocating on our behalf and for always keeping our best interests at the forefront of every decision. During a time when many people were walking away leaving money on the table, we achieved our goal and realized maximum return on our investment from our old home and obtained the best value with the maximum number of features for our new home. To this end, I know you will agree with me given Joe is one of your office’s consistent and stellar performers that we both are most fortunate to have Joe on both of our sides.Never in my lifetime have I witnessed a team that goes above and beyond the “Norm” in proactively following up on all items every step of the way in the home selling and home purchasing process. As this is now the fourth home Joe has seamlessly handled from beginning to end, I can’t imagine not having Joe with us as he has a gift for getting the job done right and on time. With Joe at the helm, I was able to focus on family and work. While it was recently reported that moving is one of the most stressful events’ in one’s life, Joe demonstrates this to be otherwise. He was constantly checking in with me and provided many additional value-added services unheard of in the industry which I will be happy to share with any of your prospective customers’ questioning why they should entrust one of the most important transactions of their life with Joe.Working in a competitive service industry myself, it is a rare in today’s business world when you come across someone like Joe and his team that truly have your best interests at heart to the point that one would think it was their own homes they are working to sell and purchase as a result of all the extra special care and attention they give every step of the way. If someone is not using Joe Stacy for their real estate transactions, I feel sorry for them as they are truly missing out on one terrific service provider that delivers everything her promises and then some. It has been a real joy working with Joe and his fine team."

"Joe Is Exceptional. He really streamlined the process and gave me the information I needed to negotiate my deals. Joe is responsive and exceptionally professional. He is not pushy, shares his views and lets the buyers/sellers decide. Ultimately it is about results and Joe delivered; selling our home in 3 weeks at the worst sales time of the year. Joe is the best realtor we've worked with and we would gladly recommend him to our friends."

"By Far the Best. In a market flooded with Pintos, I got Motor Trends' Car of the Year! I would use Joe Stacy wherever he is. His marketing stood out and he spoke with absolute confidence. Joe provided the service fantasized on TV commercials, but you never get. Joe actually came through with the promises! For the skeptics I will give you the straight facts:1. Joe always kept me up to date on the activity of my home and the market either through e-mail, phone conversation or in person.2. Joe listed my home for $20,000 more than another agent had told us to and $10,000 more than we wanted to. This was based on his knowledge of the market and value of our home. It wasn't an unattainable number he had.3. We had a showing before the house was even in the MLS and much more traffic after is was listed.4. Joe sold our house in less than a week and brought in $5,000 more than we were expecting.Now, I will give you my personal account of his service. First, I have never experienced such quality service. I felt like a celebrity. It's the type of service many claim to have but never fulfill. The energy he has in the morning is equivalent to what he has at night. Joe is always available and has an excellent staff, which was kept up to date with my situation, in case he was not persoannly available, but he made sure he was personally always involved with the important deceisions. He always went out of his way to accomodate me and my schedule. Joe has an incredible understanding of the market and personalized a strategy for selling my home. Even down to my home's feature sheet, Joe stands out among the rest of the agents. And if that wasn't enough to convince you, I truly feel Joe wants to build relationships and treats clients like family. The saying is true, "You get what you pay for.""

"An Agent You Can Trust. We are very grateful to Joe for all he did to help in the purchase of our new home. When doing an out of state move it is very hard in that you feel as though you do not have a lot of control. It is very important to have a real estate agent that you can trust. Joe met our expectations and needs in every way. He listened to our requests and was willing to show us as many houses as we needed to see. He was very helpful from start to finish. Steve and I were both impressed when he initiated looking in the attic on the final walk-thru knowing that it was one of our largest concerns. His sincerity is refreshing to see in this business. If we have any future needs we will definitely call upon Joe for help."

"An Agent Who Goes Out of His Way! The best home buying/selling experience around. Joe goes out of his way to make sure you have the best home buying/selling experience available. We think of Joe any time someone needs a realtor. I recommend with complete confidence. Thank you Joe!"

"After Several Moves Joe Stacy is the BEST! He listens and hears what we say! He cares about his clients. I would contact Joe again in an instant and have highly recommended him to others. There can't be a better agent!"

"Joe Stacy is a tremendous asset to Koenig & Strey GMAC. We have bought and sold many homes. Joe is the best realtor we have ever had. He was very flexible-giving us the time we needed to see homes and great at previewing for us. Follow up after contract was great also. Really helped us negotiate a fair price on our home."
