About Steve

My background in the housing industry started in college. I put myself through school working as a union trained carpenter in the summers. After college, I continued to work as a carpenter for a couple of years. Then in 1991, I made the move to Chicago and decided to start selling them, instead of building them. My primary focus and marketplace are the diverse neighborhoods of the city, but I have also helped many families make the move to several of the surrounding suburbs, from as far north as Lake Forest and everything in between and out towards the western suburbs to Geneva. Small multi-family properties is also a focus of mine. I do own and manage several rental properties. I find this to be a very stable, and financially rewarding investment over time. Because of my construction knowledge I have also worked successfully with contractors and rehabbers interested in rebuilding some of the many beautiful properties here in Chicago.

Decades of Experience

I have known Steve for over two decades here in Chicago. In that time, not only has he been spot-on throughout the years, but he’s also helped me buy and sell multiple properties. Any opportunity I have to recommend Steve, I do. Any opportunity I have to tell people in excruciating detail how well-informed, helpful and experienced in the realm of Chicago real estate he is, I do. Steve is a wonderful human and and my go-to person and he should be for you as well!

The best realtor I could have asked for

Steve was absolutely amazing and tremendously helpful in all difficult situations with my sale, of which we had many, he helped me to navigate all tricky moments and went over and beyond his duties. I would definitely continue working with him for any future sales/purchases in Chicago area.

Beyond Excellent

My house sale was two and a half months ago, and I am still raving about how fantastic my real estate agent, Steve Hobbs, was. I have probably recommended him to thirty people over that time period and will keep on doing it. Every word I use to describe him is a superlative: he was the most responsive, the most knowledgeable, the most focused, the hardest working, the most honest, the most upbeat, the smartest agent EVER! I mean every word of that description- and challenge anyone to find a better agent. You won't. He's that good. We are even begging him to get licensed in Wisconsin to sell a family property for us.

Highly Recommended Agent - Steve Hobbs

We have known and worked with Steve for many years. He is extremely knowledgeable not only about all aspects of the real estate purchase/sale process, but can also provide good information on issues with a property and remediation actions. He has provided thoughtful advice which has saved us from making the wrong decisions, and is always on our side working towards a successful transaction. We highly recommend Steve for any real estate transaction.
