Jeff G. sold a Single Family Home in Lincoln Park
"Chris and her husband Chris were great to work with! We sold our house in Lincoln Park with them, which was not easy. We were selling at an unfortunate time for sellers at our price point, and Chris was very helpful in showing us market analyses and discussing strategies for dealing with the downturn. She was very knowledgeable about current trends and sales in the neighborhood and quick to pass along any information that could be useful. Chris and Chris were great about responding to questions promptly, making valuable suggestions, and giving us advice but ultimately being fully supportive of whatever decision we ended up making. Chris was helpful at every step of the process and did everything she could to get our house sold in spite of the market conditions. We would certainly recommend Chris to anyone looking to sell their house in Chicago."

Elizabeth N. bought a Condo in Sheridan Park
"We found Chris and Chris through a somewhat exhaustive online search (we considered where agents had recently bought and sold and in what price range, as well as client reviews), and out of the three agents we spoke to, felt most comfortable and excited about working with Chris and Chris. In the next few weeks, we spent many hours with both Mr. and Mrs. Chris- they accommodated our schedules to meet with us for evening and weekend showings, answered our emails promptly, and truly made us feel like a priority! We were always impressed with their knowledge, professionalism, and follow-up. They provided helpful insights that, as first-time homebuyers we might not have thought of ourselves, but also considered our insights without any inkling of condescension. They negotiated the best price for our home, while making sure our offer was most attractive to the sellers, since there were multiple other offers. They helped ensure that the closing process would be as smooth as possible, and have continued to be supportive after our closing- with recommendations for contractors, neighborhood updates, and general check-ins to see how things are going. We would most definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in Chicago!"

Naomi T. sold a Condo in Rogers Park
"Chris and Chris are outstanding Realtors!® My partner and I have really enjoyed working with Team Chris and Chris. They are an amazing Realtor® duo! They are both very professional, very knowledgeable about the Chicagoland housing market, and very easy going. They answered all of our questions and gave us their open and honest feedback throughout the buying and selling process. My partner have purchased a house with them and we recently sold a condo with them in record time. They have by far exceeded our expectations! Look no further than Chris and Chris. They are the best in the Chicagoland area!"

Dan C. bought a Condo in Lake View
"Chris and Chris did a great job in helping us to find our new condo! I worked primarily with Chris Laubach, who was my creative director before he went into real estate. As a boss he was aggressive and pushed for what was best, and as a real estate agent he did the exact same thing. He genuinely enjoys the back and forth that goes with closing. When we found the place we wanted it came down to a multi-bid situation, but Chris L came up with a creative situation to insure that we won. The agent representing the sellers even commented on how impressed he was, and on what a pro Chris is. We couldn't be more happy!"

Jillian D. sold a Condo in Albany Park and bought a Single Family Home in Jefferson Park
"They say it takes a village. When my husband and I were looking to upgrade from our condo to a single-family home, it took a team – Team Chris & Chris, to be exact. We had the good fortune to work with both of them on different aspects of our sale and search. Chris L. handled the sale of our condo, and his marketing background was put to excellent use crafting sales materials to drive interest in our unit. We appreciated his positivity, energy and enthusiasm. Chris S. helped us with our home search. Her patience and encouraging words helped us keep the faith that “our home” was out there. And her expert guidance helped us ultimately navigate the negotiations process to land “the one”. We always felt comfortable bringing questions and suggestions to either of them, and they were always willing to work with us to make sure we were happy with how the sale and purchase were going. In addition to their expertise, Chris and Chris have a wealth of professional resources they can recommend for other aspects of this process. From lenders and attorneys to contractors and more. We always felt we had the A-team working for us. And you will, too."

Sarah L. bought a Single Family Home in Portage Park
"We loved working with Chris Stockwell, and her husband and partner Chris Laubach, to purchase our new home in Portage Park. As first time homebuyers, what we loved most about Chris & Chris was that we never once felt pressured to make a move we didn't feel comfortable with. After working with Chris S. for a couple of months, we actually decided to rent another year. After the lease was up, we went back to Chris (promising this time we were serious about buying : ) She was happy to start our search again, and never once made us feel uncomfortable about seeing too many places, and taking our time with the purchase. Once we found a property we liked, we pounced, and of course, this being Chicago, the process went very quickly, and thanks to Chris & Chris, very smoothly. We loved being able to email or text them to ask their advice and opinions throughout the search, offer, and closing. And overall, they're just inherently kind, friendly, funny and calm people! Which makes a potentially stressful situation much easier. I would definitely recommend them!"

Bree S. sold a condo in West Town
"Chris S. and Chris L. navigated us through the weirdest waters we ever could've imagined, and we still came out saying, “that was fun!” Our situation was unique in many ways (timing, layout, neighborhood), but we felt confident following Chris and Chris's honest guidance...from the first day to the final closing. They understood how special our home was to us and made sure to find buyers who would feel just as lucky to own it as we did. In fact, they helped work out a lease-to-own deal that made “everybody wins!” a theme for the entirety of the contract. It was far from a cookie-cutter approach. Above-and-beyond is the way they roll. Expect nothing less from Chris & Chris!"

Betsy N. bought a Townhouse in Hyde Park
"Chris was incredible every step of the way. She was patient, knowledgeable, organized, and simply great to work with. She was always very responsive. Further, she got us a great price on the house below asking and helped us close in record time. She also helped us get a construction loan together with our mortgage loan so we could start work on our new house right away. I *highly* recommend Chris."

Fred W. sold a Single Family Home and a 3-flat in Wicker Park
"Chris S. worked with us on the purchase of our new condo and the sale of our old home. The sale of our home was complicated and challenging for a number of reasons, including that it included both a home and an investment property and was in a historic/landmark district. Chris stuck with us throughout a long process, working hard to keep things moving and helping us strategize as we encountered twists and turns along the way. She is smart, knowledgeable, hard working and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Chris whether your deal is simple or complicated. Either way she will get it done!"

Bessie C. bought a Condo in Lake View East
"Working with Chris and Chris to buy our first home totally exceeded our expectations! She noticed details in every house we looked at that really helped us evaluate having it as our home. When it came time to negotiate an offer she totally blew us away: they put together a thorough comps list and really knew the offers to put in. They came through for us during every step of the process. We put our total trust in her and ended up with a house beyond our dreams in Lakeview that we'll likely call home for a long time. I've already recommended her to friends."

Darcy L. sold a Single Family Home in Lake View
"Chris Stockwell's ability to amass knowledge about my home, my neighborhood and my concerns - her dedication to guiding me through a process (which was an emotionally and physically daunting one) with professionalism and honesty - and the extra mile to which she went (unflinchingly) culminated in an end result of a sale price that exceeded my expectations and a transaction that was as pleasant as it was productive. All of this with perfect timing, as she also found (with equal grace and commitment) my new home. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and would work with her in a heartbeat if I ever move again!"

Gary D. bought a Condo in Lincoln Park.
"Chris L. is THE BOMB. The best Realtor® I've ever worked with. And I've bought and sold way too many homes than I care to admit. He's thorough, patient, understanding, attentive, listens, know the ins and outs of the market. He found me a unicorn of a place, held my hand through the sales process, alerted me to the mine fields, and gave me great advice along the way. He even showed me how to deal with local utilities, gave me lists of local tradespeople, and made sure everything was put together up until closing. Honestly, among real-estate agents there are many many people who all do the same thing and all work off the same playbook. Not Chris. He and his wife (also Chris) gave me faith in real-estate agents, and if you're buying or selling in Chicago, you really should look them up. They're the best."
