Specialties: Buyer's Agent, Listing Agent, Consulting, Residential Rental, First-Time Home Buyers, Senior Real Estate Sales Consultant
As a wife, mother of three adult children, real estate instructor, and Realtor, I know what it takes to manage a project and see it to a successful conclusion. I believe it takes more than luck to buy, sell or rent a home. I believe it takes dedication, honesty, trust and compassion. I am a full-time Real Estate Professional who will work tirelessly to give my clients a positive experience resulting in a successful transaction. There are three guiding principles that I live by; Be Honest, Be Ethical, and Do the Right Thing.
Marketing and Consulting have been my profession for over 35 years and I understand what it takes to bring an idea and concept to fruition. I am a dedicated, detail-oriented professional who works closely with my clients to make sure their questions are answered, their concerns are addressed, and their needs are met. Because of my dedication to my clients and the success I've achieved, I was recognized as a Top Agent in the January 2018 Edition of Top Agent Magazine and I have been named as one of the 10 Best Real Estate Agents by the American Institute of Real Estate Professionals since 2018. I also earned the most prestigious designation in real estate - the Certified Residential Specialist designation, which has only been earned by 3 percent of all Realtors in the country as well as the highest designation that can be earned by a Realtor, the Graduate Realtor Institute designation. In 2020 I was also inducted into the Marquie Who's Who of Professional Real Estate Agents. I believe we never stop learning, which is why I also have my Managing Brokers License.
I have been in the Real Estate Industry for many years and have used my knowledge of marketing to give my clients the advantage needed to quickly find their perfect home or find a buyer for their current home. I grew up in Logan Square and Jefferson Park, and have lived in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago since 1983. I understand the real estate market, the area, and how market trends can affect the value of a home. Being a real estate instructor also ensures that I understand the real estate process, real estate law, and how to negotiate the best price for my clients.
I would love nothing more than to combine my corporate, marketing and real estate knowledge to give you everything you need from a Realtor. Call me today at (224)531-1698 for a free, no obligation consultation to see what I can do for you!
After all she done for us , now she a family to us
Diense did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our house. Her expertise in the real estate area is absolutely on point, she is a go-to for all things in real estate which helped us a lot to find our humble abode. As first time buyers, she helped us with endless number of questions about the real estate and navigate through the entire process like a breeze. She was very m...
What can I say about Diense!! SHE IS AMAZING!! My boyfriend and I found the perfect townhome for our first home together and the minute we reached out to Diense she was so kind, communicative, responsive. She was very straightforward (in a good way) letting us know there were other people looking at the townhome but she made it happen and got us the place! I can't wait to keep working wi...
Diense is an excellent Realtor, I recommend her to everyone who are looking for their dream homes. She is humble and patient. Diense you are the best.
Denise is such a rockstar! My finace' and I were purchasing our first home together in CHI and were very nervous. We were unaware of the legalities of purchasing (as we aren't from Illinois) and all of the other agents we'd worked with were pushy, trying to show us properties outside of our budget and unresponsive. Denise made us feel so comfortable and informed through the entire proces...
I found my forever home
Best realtor I ever worked with. Was with me from beginning to end
I couldn’t be happier with the communication and service!
We actually found Diense through an online search and what a happy accident it was, Not only was she very easy to work with she worked around our busy schedule and showed us houses late evenings and on the weekend. She was very genuine and had integrity as she guided us through every step of the home buying process. Could not recommend her enough!!
I was very impressed with Diense and how hard she worked for my interest. She made me feel she really wanted what I wanted. We both believed the property was in very good shape and showed well. For some reason, in what is being said to be a sellers market, more difficult to sell than expected. We were not able to generate a lot of views. It took a major drop in price to receive our o...

I cannot IMAGINE a better Realtor than Diense Baniak. She guided me every step of the way, negotiated a 5K drop in asking price, answered every question I had in a timely manner and always made me feel secure. Her knowledge and expertise and professionalism are second to none. I honestly don't think I'd have my new home without her and her expert guidance. Moreover, Diense is warm, frien...

Listen to her and trust her experience.

We interviewed 5 agents before selecting Diense and we’re so happy we did. She provided expert advice, answered all our questions, and guided us in the process. We had an offer in a week and we’re able to close on both properties the same day. She’s you go to if you want a go getter.

Diense is excellent. She is attentive, knowledgeable, personable, well-researched and thoroughly committed. She also has a big heart and a great sense of humor. Could not recommend her more highly. She will get to know you and work with care, precision, and thoughtfulness from that knowledge. Truly wonderful.

Diense helped me find my last 2 apartments and this time she found the perfect condo. It's in the area I wanted, it was priced right and I absolutely love it! Diense communicated with me often and she made sure I understood every step of the process. When it's time to move out and find a single family home, you can bet I will use Diense.
Very helpful, friendly, responsive realtor who treats you with respect. Excellent knowledge and connection with resources needed to sell your property.

She was respectful and professional at all times. I wholeheartedly recommend Dien...
She was amazing
Diense was such a great help for us. We originally were looking for a rental. When we later decided that we would like to buy she was very supportive and willing to switch gears with us. We look forward to getting to work with her again. She is a very friendly person who genuinely wants what is best for you
A friend of mine recommended Diense and I can honestly say, I'm so glad I gave her a call. I was renting a condo that was sold and I was given just over 2 weeks to find a rental. I called Diense and she came to see that day so that I could tell her what I was looking for in a place. Within a day she had lined up 5 rentals for me to view, all of which were perfect. By the end of the wee...
I had the pleasure of working with Diense recently and all i can say is, "WOW". Best experience I've ever had. She was kind, communicative, and was very capable. I would highly recommend working with her if in the position to leverage her services. Thank you, Diense, for helping me find a sweet location!
Diense was so helpful in guiding me to the perfect condo for my family. Anytime i had questions, she answered them as soon as she could. I recommended her to my mother and a few other people as well. The next time I move I'm definetly giving her a call!
Diense was great to work with. We drove her crazy with what we wanted and needed for my elderly mother. She took us out almost daily looking at homes for rent. I would send her information on homes as well as her sending me rentals to look at. She was very personable and was very helpful in ideas of what we could possibly do with some of the homes we looked at. It took forever since we w...
I was living in a rental unit when the place was sold. I have 2 weeks to find a place that not only I liked, but that I could afford. Diense found 3 places that she knew I would like and I would have taken any 3 of them - in fact, I'm now living in one of them and I am very happy. The place is beautiful AND affordable. I cannot recommend Diense enough. S...

Diense helped my family find a townhouse in Lake County. She was patient and understanding of our individual needs and made sure to include all of us when determining what features we wanted in our home.
