Denise Gill
Broker Associate
Testimonials
"
Denise was an indispensable partner and advocate in our search for a home that better fit our budget and location needs for this season of life. She quickly understood which factors and features were most important to us by listening to our reactions to various houses. Her insights, tailored to our needs, proved invaluable as we evaluated dozens of homes. When the first house we negotiated to purchase flooded, she expertly helped us navigate the difficult decision to move on. When another house negotiation fell through, twice, she helped us stay steady and focused on seeking a better fit. When she learned about the house we eventually bought (before it was officially on the market) she instantly recognized the fit, and made it possible for us to be one of the first to see it. Through it all, Denise remained poised, tenacious and gracious, making us feel like we were her highest priority every day.

Denise has done an amazing job! Staging is so important for images on the internet and showings! I was open to her ideas and she did not disappoint! I removed area rugs (painful, because they were coordinated and good quality) as well as a lot of furniture. Denise then added some of her own accents (knowing what Buyers today are looking for. ). Bottom line: She created a beautiful aura of peace and tranquility, inviting to my Buyers.

Using Denise as a realtor was great. She was able to tell us about the neighborhoods of the houses we viewed, pointed out things we may have overlooked in the process, kept everything moving leading up to closing, recommended great service providers for other things we needed, and was all around a pleasure to work with. We'd highly recommend her to others.

We selected Denise to be our agent because she had sold several houses in the our area and had noted that they sold quickly.
She was very thorough and clear in explaining the process to us. She also gave us many suggestions on getting the house set up for a sale.
We followed most of her suggestions as they matched our thoughts exactly.
We received a lot of interest in the house and sold quickly for the full asking price so we feel that we were priced correctly.
Post offer process also went smoothly using the Denise's suggestions and guidance.

Denise is a consummate professional--and a master at her trade. We were relocating from the City, and knew nothing about the market or the area. Denise provided invaluable information about the towns and neighborhoods we searched in. Furthermore, her observations and knowledge of resale potential really helped us navigate our decision. Her thoroughness was helpful to both my husband (a previous homeowner) and myself (a first time home buyer). Finally, Denise is an excellent negotiator. She helped us accomplish our goals, and we ended up with a house that far exceeded our expectations.

We recently finished a happy experience with selling and buying a house with Denise. She made our process with both properties sail smoothly! Her extensive knowledge of our neighborhood gave us an edge with pricing and showing. Her advice at every step of the way with preparing our house for sale, and then negotiating the many paper signing and loan details was a lifesaver. When we had a question, Denise was immediately available for consultation. The last days of closing and finances and fees would have been bewildering without her calm assurance and guidance. We have recommended Denise to several of our friends and family. A family friend recently had Denise help them sell near us and are thrilled also with her help.

I cannot emphasize enough what a great realtor Denise Gill is. I had lived in the same house for 40 years and needed to downsize to a condo. She patiently walked me through the steps to take to get my home ready to sell. She was always there if I felt overwhelmed. Following her suggestions, my home sold in 3 days for more than asking price. You cannot go wrong with Denise at your side.

Denise has decades of experience and success as a realtor in the local area. She was succinct, insightful, and professional at every phase of the sale of our house, resulting in the desired result; an offer on the fifth day of listing and a contract signed on the sixth. I've already referred people to her, and will do so again if called upon.

Denise helped my husband and I sell our home this past August and we could not have been more pleased with her level of service and commitment. Not only did she listen to us and provide meaningful feedback and advice, she was always responsive to our calls and emails. We were extremely impressed with her understanding of the market and savvy marketing plan--especially how she pro-actively pre-marketed our home, before it was listed. In fact, thanks to Denise, we had a contract in hand, two days before our house was actually on the market!
"
- Bruce & Judy

I was referred to Denise Gill by my attorney. I thought she did an exceptional job of educating and guiding me through the whole selling process...including the staging, pricing, listing, negotiating and closing. She was positive and encouraging, handling unexpected issues calmly and professionally, taking the stress out of the whole process. She was great. Clearly she was very experienced and knowledgeable about the market and the business.
Denise communicated easily and clearly. She was very personable and thoughtful, going out of her way to make herself available by text or phone. I will be recommending her without reservation to friends who are looking for an excellent realtor!

Denise was an awesome guide to my husband and I in listing our house for sale--from staging, photography, marketing, to negotiating the offer. She was encouraging every step of the way. Denise even put her vacation on hold to ensure our home closed successfully. She went the extra mile and we are both grateful.

After two years of attempting to sell my property in a down market, Denise Gill stepped in and sold it in one week. Her professionalism and consideration of all parties involved made this the best real estate transaction I have ever experienced.

I originally contacted Denise two years before putting our Carol Stream home on the market. During our first meeting she spent time telling me all the things she recommended we do to our home before listing it. Her approach is to do only what is necessary to sell and not spend money that you won't get back. By the time we were ready to sell the fixes and updates had been made. When I had questions about when to list, what paint color to use, what size clock to buy for the wall, she was always available and quickly responded. Denise is also a professional home stager. You get her staging expertise along with her excellent realtor skills for the reasonable listing fee. I know that her suggestions made us thousands of dollars in the long run. She provides specific details such as colors of sofa pillows, what items to place on surfaces, what to put inside jars, etc... Our house looked amazing when the photographer came in. Denise even came an hour early to help us with finishing touches. Her photographer was phenomenal. She advised us to price our home competitively and we had an offer above the asking price the very next day. We had about 50 visitors over the course of a few days and even got a backup offer. Denise was a great negotiator throughout the contract process. The entire staff at the law office she works with is brilliant. The inspection, appraisal, and closing process went smoothly. We closed on time. We couldn't have been more pleased.

I was not pressured to sell the home to the first bidder who came along ( before the sign was up) and I appreciate that. I had hoped to sell to just the right family and not a construction company, and we held out and did just that. Denise was pleasant to work with and shared our values which was important to us. Thank you.

Denise's guidance on how to set up our home, along with helping to set the price and navigate closing was off great assistance. We were pleased with the whole experience of working with her and would recommend her to anyone.
"
- Steven Lee
"
Denise put much effort into selling our property. Along with several open houses and advertising, she created a high quality multi-paged booklet with excellent photos by a professional photographer and a list of features in each room that buyers might not notice. She understood and kept ahead of all details throughout the listing, negotiating, and closing process. She was a pleasure to work with both professionally and personally.

This is the second home that Denise has helped us with. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new home.

The advice Denise provided about staging our home was terrific; it helped us to focus our effort and its impact. Her availability is excellent and we appreciate her responsiveness to our questions. Advocating on our behalf, especially with a difficult buyer, was critical in helping us to focus our thoughts and move the sale forward to "clear to close".

Denise was a wonderful partner in getting our house sold. Her knowledge of the local market is exceptional, and we were able to get an offer in just two days despite the situation with the coronavirus. She kept in close touch with us at every step, made amazing suggestions about staging, and offered encouragement and confidence whenever issues arose. We know she is highly respected in the western suburbs, and she deserves every bit of the praise she gets!

Denise Gill is a delightful person and skilled realtor, who sold our home for a higher price and quicker than we anticipated, despite a historically poor real estate market. Denise was always available to answer questions, talk through scenarios or give her much appreciated expert advice. More than anything, my husband and I appreciate that Denise genuinely cared about us as people, rather than just parts of a transaction. We have been privileged to have Denise as our partner and advocate.

I very much appreciate the commitment and creativity Denise exhibited in persevering to sell my house. As problems were found with the structure of an addition, she continued to seek ways to make the purchase of my house appealing to a developer. She remained optimistic and encouraging despite setbacks.

Denise went above and beyond what we expected in selling our home. She had a plan to get it to market, and get it sold at a great price. Every step of the way we knew she was working on our behalf. We are so thankful for the with she put in to make our sale go smoothly!

Denise Gill's leadership, patience and knowledge of the market were key factors that allowed us to sell our home quickly and at our targeted price. She is a true professional who made an intimidating process smooth and successful. We appreciated her hand-holding and quick accessibility since we had not made a move in 20 years.
"
- Steve & Sandy

We interviewed many realtors and Denise was by far the most thorough, personable and professional. She walked with us through every step--from staging to closing--alleviating our many anxieties along the way. Because of her careful research, attention to detail, and skillful negotiating, Denise sold our house in one day for a higher asking price than expected. She was an invaluable resource, a calming presence, and a trusted ally.
"
- Nick & Rena

Denise was what we needed when we were starting to think we would never sell our home. She knew we just had to wait for the right buyer. She never wavered in her confidence even when we did. Each time some odd thing happened (parent of buyers stalking the home, buyers coming for second showing just to see the decor they wanted for the home they were going to purchase - not ours!), she confirmed these were not typical and that everything would work out in the end. She was right. It all did. Her patience and calm led to our patience and calm. Her professional demeanor led to trust. Her ethical standards are beyond question. We won't hesitate to both recommend Denise as well as call her immediately if we ever need to go through this process again.

Denise Gill is the best realtor in DuPage County. She has an exceptional knowledge of the market and listed our house $35k above what we expected. We had two offers within the first four days. Denise is thorough, smart and has the highest level of integrity. LIke great realtors, she had a number of other listings on the market at the same time as ours, but her service was like we were her only client. She was always there when we needed her. This is a 6-star realtor - - on a 5-star scale.

After using a realtor that did not spend much time marketing our house, we fired her and hired Denise. She really spent a lot of effort in getting our house out in the public eye and it finally sold. We were so grateful for her relentless attention to detail.

Denise was great! She did everything we expected and more in a difficult market. 5 Stars!

We were so thankful for the help we received from Denise in buying our first home, that we would not think of using anyone else in buying our second home. She is a joy to work with in person, over the phone, and with internet searches. She listened to what we wanted and found us our perfect home. She is a true professional.
"
- Lisa & Joel

We had a great experience with Denise! She did a very good job of finding houses to look at and helped point out things in the house that were and weren't up to par. What helped a lot was that she was very good at filtering out houses that she knew were not the quality she knew we were looking for. This led to a quicker house-finding process. She is also very knowledgeable in all the steps needed to find/buy a house, so whenever we had questions we would just ask her and she knew exactly what we should do. When negotiating, we felt very comfortable in her knowledge of what to ask for.
We didn't have any problems and were able to find a house within 2 weeks and close after that within 30-45 days.
Thanks Denise!
