Emily Destefano

It should be no surprise that Emily DeStefano is one of Evanston's top performing real estate professionals given the breadth of her experience and strong ties to the North Shore community. Emily has been an engaging leader and manager throughout her extensive career in sales and education and takes pride in her ability to advocate for each and every client. Her dynamic communication and negotiation skills, along with her ability to adapt to a wide variety of situations (crucial in a real estate transaction!) are the hallmarks of her continued success. Emily and her husband have owned and operated DeStefano Development Company in the Chicagoland and North Shore area for over 15 years. Her immense development experience provides a unique insight into understanding the processes involved for both the buyer and the seller – an insight proven most beneficial for many of her clients. Emily believes that attention-to-detail, market knowledge, and her exceptional ability to build strong relationships is what makes her stand out in her field. As a North Shore resident for over 15 years, Emily's inclusive personality and genuine love of community has led her to serve on several influential boards, including: President of the Parks and Recreation Board for the City of Evanston, Dewey Elementary PTA, Nichols Middle School PTA, Haven Middle School PTA, Evanston High School Boosters, and ESSCA, Junior Board of Evanston Hospital as a founding member, the Junior League of Evanston North Shore, the Garden Club of Evanston and the Woman's Club of Evanston.
