Gayle Stellas was an incredible find, and I will recommend her to everyone that I know. Her energy and determination got my home sold. After another broker had the listing and just waited for responses without any offers, I thankfully turned to Gayle. Gayle knew exactly how to get my home sold. She went about staging it and adding flair, all out of her own pocket. She would follow up wit...
Gayle was extremely professional…informative…and most importantly…EFFECTIVE IN THE WHOLE DISPOSITION PROCESS FROM BEGINNING TO THE CLOSING! You are extremely lucky and fortunate to have her!
She’s really good. Not pushy, patient, and your advocate. Not looking for a quick sale.
We had the privilege of working with Gayle Stellas of Baird & Warner as sellers at first and then as buyers. Gayle was wonderful to work with and she is just excellent at her work.

She was always available, responsive and reli...
Gayle did a great job in handling at times a frustrating process caused by uncontrollable events. Always a positive attitude. Highly recommend.
Gayle's strengths are in marketing and preparing a property for showings. I was impressed by her respect for the homeowner's property and her sensitivity to the feelings and opinions of the owner. My home went under contract on the third day of listing and sold with minimal addendums. I will recommend Gayle to friends and acquaintances in this Northshore area.
As the saying goes, 'if I look in the dictionary under 'Real Estate Agent extraordinaire', you will find Gayle's picture. All kidding aside. To us, there is only one person that comes in at number 1, and its Gayle. I have never sold a house before and the prospect was very intimidating. I consider myself fortunate that I had known of Gayle and knew she was a Real Estate agent, but for al...

We have had two other realtors, and we like them a lot. However, no, Realtor can hold a candle to Gayle! Gayle is personable knowledgeable and she truly advocates for her clients!

We could not have asked for a better, realtor, turned friend!

After deciding to downsize and sell our home, we chose Gayle. We were very happy with her professionalism and the attention she gave to market our home.

She went above and beyond in handling all the details while we were gone. For positive results I ver...
Gayle is one of the most professional Realtors I know. Even though I have been in the Real Estate business for many years, we had Gayle find our new home on the North Shore.

Gayle is a pleasure to work with, and the results are obvious. We had a complicated situation, as my elderly parents required 24/7 care and moved in with me out of state. They urgently needed funds to pay for their medical and assisted living expenses and were motivated to sell their condo in Skokie. The whole process was done 100% remotely, via email phone calls and text. Gayle provided...

This is the second time I’ve asked Gayle to help me save my home. From the beginning she listened to all my preferences about listing the house and still managed to get me a buyer within days. My first buyer backed out and yet Gayle has kept the momentum going with other agents that she found a new buyer within a week. Over the years I’ve known Gayle has always checked in without ...

Gayle Stellas put a lot of effort and patience in helping my wife and I to find our new home. Her knowledge and advice made something I'd never attempted before run smoothly without a lot of headaches.
Thanks to Gayle my adult daughter was able to purchase her first home in time to relocate and start her new job.
