People choose me because I am committed to serving their
needs. My clients continually refer me to their family and friends because I
brought them success in the first place! My actions are timely. My advice is
objective. My assistance is un-intimidating. My service is complete. My drive
is to do nothing but help you!
Are you looking to purchase in the Oak Park/River Forest area? I am a 4th
generation Oak Park/River Forester. My wife, Julie, and I raise our own family
here. If you are relocating to this area I get it!!... There is more to your
relocation than just finding a place to live. Let me help you get your entire
life started in OPRF.
I take pride in being on top of this real estate market every day of the week.
This is why buyers choose me. You don't need to worry about missing that
perfect home because your agent was not familiar with local opportunities. And
never be scared of contracts, negotiating, inspections, and critical
transaction milestones with me at your side through every step. I have also
successfully restored three vintage homes. When it comes to construction, I
have lived through it all. Let my vast knowledge of local resources be your
central connection for years to come.
Are you selling your Oak Park/River Forest area home? It is a well-known fact
that I utilize more technology-based marketing tools than any other area agent
or firm! Professional digital photography, website advertising, paid-for
optimal listing placement, search engine optimization, local and national print
advertising, in-home marketing, area “new listing” mail announcements, personal
& professional networking and 24-hour availability are key elements to
getting a home sold in today’s market. It is so important that your home is
fully ready to be showcased the minute it goes live on the market. Create the
frenzy… the hype… the excitement!!... and the buyer will come.
Taking care of my customers’ needs is job #1 and leads to long work weeks. This
is all I do, every day, seven days a week. Let me help you learn what to do and
what NOT to do in order to get your home sold. If you are buying a home, your
job is just as rigorous. I can help you with everything from home inspectors to
mortgage brokers. Selling or buying? It is always about the details. Let me, a
local expert, help you get to that successful closing date.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Steve for the purchase of a condo five years ago and then again with the purchase of a house in the OP/RF area. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and is a wealth of knowledge that we enjoyed having working with us through the process. We won't be selling for a while (Sorry Steve!) but couldn't recommend a better partner in the process.

We had the pleasure of working with Steve as first-time homebuyers. From the very beginning, Steve took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget constraints. His profound knowledge of the local real estate market was evident as he expertly navigated us through every aspect of the home-buying process. He knows the local scene like the back of his hand. It felt like we had our own personal guide. He didn't just talk houses; he gave us the lowdown on everything – schools, parks, the best coffee spots – you name it. Steve's genuine interest in our happiness set him apart. He wasn't just focused on closing a deal; he wanted us to find a home that truly suited us.
What blew us away was Steve's patience. As first-time buyers, we had a barrage of questions and concerns, and Steve was consistently patient, responsive, and incredibly informative. Throughout negotiations and the closing process, Steve demonstrated exceptional professionalism. He advocated for our best interests and ensured that we were well-informed and comfortable with every decision. His comprehensive approach went above and beyond our expectations, and we felt confident in every decision we made under his guidance.
We wholeheartedly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a real estate agent, but ESPECIALLY first-time homebuyers or those new to the Oak Park / River Forest area. We are so grateful for the positive experience and now happily settled in our new home, thanks to Steve!

Steve Scheuring is the best! He knows the market incredibly well, is very strategic and adept at pricing, knows exactly how to market a home, is completely responsive, and is extremely attentive to detail. Our home sold right away due largely to Steve's spot-on valuation and marketing strategy. He also has a lot resources that were very helpful to us in the moving process. Finally, it was a pleasure to work with him -- great guy with a quick wit and patient with people in pressure filled situations.
