Jennie Deckert – Century 21

Jennie is the greatest!
We have been with Jennie for a bit over a year, and wow does she have patience!
She’s so smart and insightful on properties.
We just closed on our house this past Friday, and couldn’t be more happy or excited!
She actually listens and doesn’t give up on you! I’m so thrilled to have found her, and that she patiently helped is through all the steps in buying our first home!

I was relocating from Orlando to Chicago and only had a day and a half to apartment hunt. Jennie stepped in last minute to help out another agent I had been working with, and jumped in like she had been working with me for weeks. Her knowledge of the city is incredible. While searching she even drove me by Wrigley Field knowing I had never seen it before. She found me a great apartment, in a great location, that met my all of my requirements. During my relocation she kept in contact and even called the day I arrived in Chicago to make sure I made it OK and got my keys.
I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking to rent or buy. She will be the first person I call next time I need a realtor.

Jennie was amazing during our trip to Chicago to find a new place to live. She definitely went above and beyond the call of duty in her research and tours of the city. She drove us around (very familiar with the neighborhoods – which helped us as out of towners!). She even dropped us off at places we needed to be (I was also interviewing for a job at the time so my husband and I were often needed to head to different places.) She gave us the straight scoop about the places and she gave us helpful advice to help guide our thought process in the search. She is also very sweet and thoughtful. She asked me weeks after how my job search went! Who remembers to do that? We will definitely be referring her to all our friends in the housing market in Chicago!

I’ve gotta say we couldn’t have been more pleased with Jen.
Her patience with us through every step of the process was bar none. And as a first-​time homebuyer that’s been invaluable. She helped lead us through the fog to understand what we wanted for ourselves, and focus on what was most important for us, providing knowledgeable info on neighborhoods and housing options, despite our wide open search criteria and times of indecisiveness. She even lasted through a deal that fell through after an inspection, with no hint of complaint.
I felt like Jen was Always there for us (over what turned out to be a very long search process, from start to finish). She was able to feed my detail oriented nature by providing answers for nearly all my questions, and sought out resources for info on all the rest.
It felt like a good friend walking us through the process. She will be highly recommended whenever someone asks for a recommendation… or even when they don’t.

Jennie was a big reason why I made a switch to Real Estate for my career. At the time Jennie and I were working together on the Alumni Board for Calvin College and she encouraged me to make the switch and opened a few doors for me. I went on to work for the Homestead Group and began to learn the Real Estate business on the fly. Jennie acted as a mentor for me during my time with the Homestead Group and was always willing to help and answer any questions I may have had. I know Jennie has a passion for what she does and if I ever have a client or friend/​family looking to buy in Chicago she would obviously be my first call.

Jennie was a major asset to my first home search. She is to the core a professional, highly personable, and has a deep understanding of the Chicago real estate market. She was there for every step of the process from the search, inspections, and closing. I always recommend her services to family and friends who are in the market and she will be the first one that I call when looking for a new property.”
