Real estate broker and team leader Scott Stavish of @properties has done business in almost every single Chicago neighborhood during his 20 years working in the real estate industry. His team of five agents works as far south as Hyde Park and as far north as Highland Park. Having grown up in Evanston, Stavish’s focus tends to be the north side of the city and the North Shore, where he has lived and worked his entire career.

“We work with a variety of price points and product types and help buyers and sellers, ranging from first-time condo buyers to high-end luxury price points,” he explains. “We work almost exclusively with referrals from past clients, and I have a team in place that is able to handle a large variety of transactions.”

As for product types, Stavish has done it all; Single-family homes, condominiums, co-ops, multi-unit buildings, mixed-use developments and vacant land. His status as a lifelong Chicagoan gives him an edge on his competitors, who lack the same level of market understanding that he has acquired through the years. Stavish knows Chicago inside and out. “Before smart phones came out, my friends used to call me MapQuest because they knew I was their go to for getting directions anywhere,” he recalls.

His clients greatly value his expertise, sophistication and patience. He takes the time to meet with them personally to explain the process and the market in detail. His meticulous nature and high level of organization provide a smooth experience for each client, from start to finish. With his analytical mind and his deep love of helping others and meeting new people, he has found great success in real estate, consistently being recognized by Chicago Association of Realtors as a Top Producer and landing him the designation of Five Star Realtor by Chicago Magazine for the last 10 years in a row.
