description is outstanding! It is so wonderful working with you and your husband!!
Thank you,

Don & Stephanie,
Thank you for a job well done! This group formed a formidable
team. The
team executed flawlessly on the entire process from listing to closing
the property on 436 Tiverton Street. Closing on the property completes
the relocation process. I will certainly call on each of you for my
future real estate needs. I wish you continued success with plenty of
work in 2010. Thanks again for a job well done.
Thanks,

Stephanie,
I just wanted to let you know how much my wife Colette and I
appreciate your outstanding service on our behalf with the recent sale of our house in St. Charles,
Illinois. With all the stress associated with any move, let alone an unexpected company
relocation in a turbulent marketplace, you made the process very smooth for us. Your wealth
of experience helped us price our home effectively for a reasonably fast sale which helped us
secure our new home in southeastern Pennsylvania this summer. We’ve been in our new home now
for several weeks and the boys and us, as well as our beagle, are enjoying the yard, the pool and
our new location. Thanks for all your professional assistance.
Sincerely,
Joe and Colette Vahey
p.s. Thanks too for collecting our cds which we inadvertently
left behind and sending them to us!
"In preparing to sell our house, we spoke with two Realtors.
The first Realtor repeatedly pointed out the short comings in our house. The second Realtor,
Stephanie Doherty, instead pointed out what was great about the house. The attitude she brought to
the table uncovered important selling points in our house that resulted in us listing and selling
for more than $10,000 higher than the other Realtor suggested. And the house sold in one day. They
got us more money, they brought the buyer, they were outstanding. More advertising, more input,
more follow through. We were very impressed. It was about results.

Dear Stephanie and Don,
Thank you for finding the home of my dream for me. You listened to my wish list and took me to see
only homes that met what was important to me. I could always count on you both to be punctual and
considerate of my time. I truly appreciated your tenacity and wisdom in negotiating. The ease and
efficiency with which you coordinated each phase of the transaction kept me feeling secure and
comfortable from beginning to end. I knew that you had everything under control and my best
interest in mind. I appreciated your friendly advise and wonderful professionalism.
I have utilized your expertise four times in the past 2 years with 3 buys and 1 sell - you know I
will count on you in the future. I would not work with anyone else and highly recommend you to
others without hesitation. Thank you for helping me to live the life I had imagined.
— With sincere gratitude, Kristin Armstrong
Dear Stephanie-
Thank you for the excellent job you did selling our home on Main Street in Batavia.
Throughout what we considered to be relatively difficult transaction, you stood our ground as
sellers and forced the lines of communication to remain open with the buyer and her Realtor, lawyer
and lender. We appreciated your assertiveness while always maintaining a personable, friendly and
professional manner with all parties involved. We personally believe our home would not have closed
if it were not for your persistence.
We cannot thank you enough for the hours you must have spent negotiating and pulling for us. We
would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to sell a home.
— Sincerely, Cara and Dave Schuster
To Whom It May Concern,
In early April of this year, my husband received an unexpected call that we would be relocating
from the Washington D.C. area to the Chicago area. We immediately looked for resources on the
Realtor.com website. As we contacted quite a few Realtors via the internet, one in particular,
Stephanie Doherty, contacted our home immediately both by phone and by email. Stephanie's energy,
her willingness to listen to our needs and wants made our decision very easy that we were going to
choose her to find our next home, quickly. The following week we flew to Chicago and headed for the
Fox Valley area. Stephanie greeted us with open arms and made us feel so comfortable, like we were
reuniting with an old friend. Then the mission began, Stephanie had done her homework well in
advance and had put 4 days aside just for us. We trekked through 30 plus homes and many
neighborhoods looking for the perfect home, some homes we went in three and four times. Not once in
this endeavor did Stephanie loose patience, cheerfulness nor sight of what we were trying to
accomplish - the purchase of our eighth home. After three days of hard work, we found the perfect
home and the rest is history. We have now been residing in the Fox Valley area of St. Charles for a
month and absolutely love it. Our community, our new friends and our home are more than we ever
expected. We are so happy living here and we owe it all to Stephanie Doherty. We would recommend
Stephanie to anyone, she is the Fox Valley's number one seller for a reason, she understands her
clients and she is sincere about the most important purchase of a person's life, a home. It was
quite ironic, that after we put a contract on our home and returned to the Washington D.C. area,
that the Realtors that we also initially contacted along with Stephanie finally contacted us.
Needless to say, they were just a day late and a house short.

Dear Stephanie,
It has been almost a year since you helped us buy and sell a home in Batavia. Diana and I would
like to thank you for all the help and guidance you provided us during and after the transactions.
We know that we expected a lot of you and you either meet or exceeded our expectations every time.
After all, you helped us on Fathers Day, on the phone from your daughter's baseball game, and
during our change of mind as we went from one house to another after being one step away from
closing on the initial home. We would be happy to recommend your services to anyone we know in
either buying and/or selling a home.
Also, you are welcome in our home anytime you are in the area.
— Sincerely yours, Matt and Diana
Dear Stephanie,
We met several years ago, when we were looking for an agent to sell our home in St.
Charles. I am not expecting you to remember me. My reasons for writing to you are twofold, both
long overdue.
First, every year when your signs appear congratulating the STC high school
graduates, it makes me think I ought to write to you and let you know how wonderful that is.
While it may serve a marketing purpose for you (which I can appreciate), that gesture makes St.
Charles seem like a smaller, friendlier town. I just love that. My three daughters graduated
from St. Charles East, and all were the beneficiaries of the time and effort it takes you and
your staff to place and remove those signs. You don't have to do it, and I hope that it does
keep your name in the minds and hearts of the population.
Secondly, when you came to our house at 7 Southgate in St. Charles, we were in the
midst of a divorce, consequently selling. After twenty-five years of marriage, and with three
kids, it was a difficult time. My former husband was very rude to you. So rude, in fact, that I
was mortified and always felt that I owed you an apology -- can you apologize for another
person? I am sure that you encounter all kinds of people and am sure that wasn't your first
uncomfortable situation, you certainly handled it well and didn't blink an eye.
Just so you know, your estimate of the selling price (which I ageed with) ended up
being right about on the mark, unlike that of the agent's with who we listed. My daughter and I
ended up moving out of the house in August of that year, hoping for a quick sale, because I was
paying half the mortgage, the bills, etc. on the house as well as our own rent, bills, etc. It
was a terrible time. The agent for the sale was aware of the situation, and despite instructions
(my own and the court's) only called my husband about offers on the house (which he, of course
turned down; happy to have all those bills paid and see us destitute). The ex told the agent HE
would "discuss it" with me, which he never did. In February, when I found this out and called
the agent; who was so surprised! he assured me that it wouldn't happen again. Which it did
several more times. Always the fault of someone "in the office." The house finally sold the
following Summer.
Long story short, I just wanted you to be able to say "I told you so" at least to
yourself. In my imagination, you would never have handled the whole as unprofessionally as the
guy we ended up with did, and I'm still stuck with the unpleasant memory of that rudeness.
I'm still renting in St. Charles, contemplating buying a house, contemplating
packing it up and moving to Albuquerque (but for those pesky kids...), still stunned and
spinning from events that have shaken our lives. I am still teaching reading in St. Charles, as
well as typing for one of the local attorneys (NOT a divorce attorney), and have had a variety
of odd jobs here and there, just trying to get the girls through college (the rude ex not
helping). But I think of you every time I see those great graduation signs, always want to say
thanks and mean to write you a note to tell you how charming that is.
So thanks, from me and on behalf of all the other people in town who probably mean to but never
write to say it.
- Sincerely, Megan M.
