Steve, Thank you so much for helping me sell my home. I’m blown away by your knowledge and attention to detail. The home photos, floor plan, drone video and marketing you provided was top notch. I couldn’t be more pleased with how quickly you sold my home and for an amount I never expected. Your whole team was so helpful and wonderful to work with. I’m incredibly grateful that I chose you to list my house. Thank you again for all your help! Sincerely, Candace Peterson

He was there for me as a counselor and friend. One aspect of Steve's service that truly stood out was his unparalleled communication skills. He was always readily available to answer any questions or concerns I had, promptly returning calls and emails and keeping me updated every step of the way.

His strategic approach and keen insight into the negotiation process ultimately led to a successful outcome, exceeding my expectations in every aspect. Furthermore, Steve's dedication to providing personalized service sets him apart from the rest.

I used Ellerbrake Group for buying my first house and selling that same house a few years later. This team is amazing! As a first timer in both respects I was blown away by their knowledge, patience, and diligence while working on my behalf. I will always recommend them to anyone looking for reference.

Stephen Ellerbrake of Keller Williams Pinnacle and his team provided a 5-star home-selling experience from the interview listing meetings through closing. He considered and responded thoroughly to our requests and ideas. He supported his listing suggestions in person, emails, texts and follow up calls. Stephen appreciated our property location and our clean cared for home. His photographer captured great pictures, video, and drone shots for the listing, and other social media YouTube advertisings. Stephen made the process of selling our loved family home stress-free with his knowledge, experience and regular communications. Stephen shared in advance the type of showing requests to expect, and the appointment App provided us with the schedules. We chose to auto-confirm showings so buyers’ viewings would be maximized for our home. Stephen’s advance notices of each step in the sale and closing process made us feel comfortable. His calls, texts and emails provided us guidance on signing documents electronically and the closing process. He kept us informed and took our calls and answered our questions promptly. His calm and reassuring demeanor was much appreciated. From our first meeting to closing this was a 5-star experience. We interviewed multiple realtors/brokers before listing our home and we were glad that we chose Stephen Ellerbrake of Keller Williams Pinnacle.

The Ellerbrake Group has been a fundamental partner on this very personal journey of selling our home in Salem, Illinois. Stephen Ellerbrake was a welcomed surprise in dealing with Realtors in southern Illinois. His expertise is outstanding in evaluating all surrounding conditions and possible hindrances. He guided us through the preparations for listing and had hands on approach for any and all circumstances. We realized in a very speedy listing time a top sales agreement. I am honored to have had the Ellerbrake Group represent our interests in that transaction and recommend the highly professional team for listing property in the southern Illinois area.

Steve and his team were incredible to work with. We were selling my father-in-law's place in IL, while living in MO. It was quite the task, but Steve and his team had a list of preferred painters, cleaners, flooring companies, etc.. to get the place ready to sell. We were able to get the place prepped, live, and sold in just over 3 months! I would highly recommend using Steve and his team for any of your real-estate needs.

Steve Ellerbrake and Chad Schwarz were amazing to work with while buying our dream home and selling our current home. We had A LOT of moving parts to make our deal work. They stayed consistent, patient, and ultra responsive throughout the entire process. Their knowledge of the business and dedication to us helped make our transition to our dream home a seamless reality! I can’t thank them enough! I highly recommend the Ellerbrake team to anyone needing a realtor.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the process of selling our home than we were with Ellerbrake Group. Steve Ellerbrake's advice as to prepping and pricing the house were flawless. After just one day on the market, we had 6 offers and signed a contract the next day. Steve was always available for any questions or concerns we had. He has a warm and easy manner, and we would highly recommend him to anyone.
