Testimonials
Debra Dobbs is a true professional who works tirelessly and passionately on behalf her clients. She is intuitive and helped my husband and me make absolutely the perfect choice for us in a city home. Debra is also an energetic person who is simply a pleasure to work with! I recommend her without reservation.” Sandra B. | Buyer
It was a pleasure working with Debra. We worked with a few other agents in the past and interviewed others before deciding to work with Debra. She was the most impressive, the most experienced, and the most engaging during the interview process. And it all proved out in practice as she helped us find our dream house.
The search for our place was not easy…and it was not quick. Things happened along the way and Debra helped us get through some difficult situations. I would recommend her to anybody.” Michael F. | Buyer & Seller
We have bought three homes with Debra (and sold also two of those homes with Debra, and rented out one of them while we lived somewhere else).
She’s utterly fabulous. She’s amazing. She’s patient and very good at both understanding your unique situation and making you feel like you are the only person in the world. She knows Chicago; she knows the market; she knows all the other brokers.
I cannot recommend Debra enough or highly enough if you are looking to buy a home or sell a home, or do anything else related to real estate in Chicago.” Rachel B. & Eric O. | Buyers & Sellers
I’d give her all the stars in the galaxy if I could! Amazing realtor and wonderful person.” Marianne B. | Buyer
We have worked with Debra both as a Buyer to find our home and subsequently based on our positive experience, a Seller to market and sell our home. Debra is a consummate professional, incredibly easy to work with and service oriented – she really takes the time to listen and understand what is important to you and what will work for all parties. She is very knowledgeable about the market, consultative and a trusted advisor.
Debra is surrounded by a network of professionals who are top of their profession, including videographers, digital marketing experts, landscapers, specialized contractors for every household need…the list goes on. We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Debra, and once you settle into your new home she is there to get you introduced to all the local attractions, the best restaurants and activities as well as introduce you to likeminded people in your area.
Debra goes beyond executing a transaction, she builds deep and lasting relationships.” Catherine L. & Chris K. | Buyers & Sellers
This custom-built home is situated on a 48’ wide lot in the northwest Lincoln Park area. The homeowner worked with JDL (Jim Letchinger, developer of numerous single-family homes as well as Number 9 Walton St) and consulting architect Dan Wheeler of Wheeler Kearns (recipient of numerous awards for his residential and commercial work).
Expansive windows and multiple exposures are featured to allow natural light to flow into the home from morning to twilight. This contemporary home also features steel beams, brick walls, floating wood ceiling panels, and metal-framed windows; all coming together to create a feeling of sophistication and warmth, blended with an articulate and purposeful use of multiple design elements.
Our goal was to draw luxury home buyers to a section of Lincoln Park that is considered a bit off the beaten path. The enticement was the incredible construction quality of the home, the pedigree of the architect and builder, and the unique design of the home that allowed an interplay between the interior and exterior spaces. Over the course of a year, three offers were considered by the sellers. We ultimately closed with a family that fell in love with the home at first sight; originally from New Zealand, they loved the modern design and connection between the interior and exterior spaces…exactly what our clients loved the many years they called 1257 home.
Situated on one of Lincoln Park’s premier tree-lined streets, 1845 N Burling is a custom home that was built especially for our clients who made 1845 their family home for 18 years. Originally listed by another brokerage firm in May of 2018, the home had been on the market for 6 months when the homeowner contacted me to discuss how I would position the home for a successful sale in such a difficult market.
My recommendations included paint touch-up, light staging, new photographs, video, a revamped brochure, and to refocus the marketing copy on the inherent construction quality of the home. We listed the home February 2019 and in spite of the tough market conditions had 1845 under contract by April 23.
We ultimately closed with a family that moved to Chicago from London and renting in Lincoln Park at the time they first visited the house. They fell in love with the extraordinary outdoor space, superb location, and overall quality of the home and finishes.
