Nathan was awesome. Very responsive and helped us find a great home on a short schedule! He was very personable as well and he made the home shopping experience tons of fun. Would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking in the Chicagoland area.
normally do not take the time to write long reviews, but Nathan Stillwell truly deserves one. I have worked with Nathan on the purchase of two properties, and after going through both transactions with him, I can genuinely say that he is one of those people you are grateful to have in your corner. What I appreciate most about Nathan is that I have never felt like I was just another transaction to him. He takes the time to listen, understand what I am trying to accomplish, and give me his real opinion. There were times when I had a lot of questions, changed directions, or needed something handled quickly, and Nathan was always there. He never made me feel like I was bothering him or asking too much. Real estate transactions are not always easy. Things come up, plans change, and sometimes you need someone who can stay calm and help you figure out the next move. Nathan has been that person for me. He communicates, follows through, and when he tells me he is going to take care of something, I know it is going to get handled. One thing that really stands out about Nathan is that he does not disappear once an offer is accepted. He stays involved. He checks in, answers questions, communicates with everyone involved, and makes sure things keep moving. That means a lot when you have your own business and a million other things going on at the same time. I also respect that Nathan will tell me what he actually thinks. He is not someone who is going to tell you whatever you want to hear just to close a deal. If he sees something that concerns him, he will say it. If he believes something is worth looking at, he will explain why. I value that kind of honesty because when you are making a major investment, you need someone you can trust, not someone who is only thinking about their commission. After buying two properties with Nathan, our relationship has become more than simply working with a real estate broker. He is someone I trust, someone I can call, and someone I know genuinely cares about the people he works with. There are plenty of real estate agents out there, but finding someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, patient, hardworking, and genuinely cares is not always easy. Nathan has proven all of those things to me through his actions, not just his words. I am very thankful for everything he has done for me and for the way he has handled both of my purchases. Nathan has earned my trust and my future business, and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend him to my family, friends, clients, or anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you, Nathan, for always answering the phone, for all the conversations, for your patience, and for always looking out for me. I truly appreciate you and everything you have done. Five stars without a doubt. If you are looking for someone who will actually care about your real estate goals and treat you like a person instead of another closing, call Nathan Stillwell.

We have had a long-standing relationship with Nathan Stillwell, he has assisted us on more than one real estate deal. Recently, he has managed our last two transactions, including the sale of our home and acquiring a rental property. Navigating todays market, especially trying to target the right buyer with todays interest-rates, Nathan found us a buyer and had us under contract within two days of being on market and had us closed on time without moving our closing date. He worked with the other agent to secure a buyer out of state, using a video tour and walked us through the entire process. It had been a bit since we had our last investment property under him & everything went as smoothly and professionally as we couldve hoped. In regards to finding a rental property, inventory has been so limited, our new landlord had some questions which were quickly answered by Nathan and the rental property has been secured, making our transition rather seamless. We had originally started looking for a rental property on our own, but with todays climate his experience and professionalism, along with his willingness to make personal connections for his clients allowed for us to secure a new home. It was turning into a long winded and stressful experience for us but Nathan made it much easier and had us in a new home within a week. I would highly recommend working with someone who is as personable, professional, and experienced as Nathan.

Recently Nathan has represented us for both the purchase and sale of our home. Nathan was just wonderful to work with! His market knowledge, the knowledge of the area, and his caring attitude are extraordinary! We really appreciate how responsive Nathan is. His follow up to email, text, or phone calls was always super timely even at weekends. His experience, work ethic, and client focused approach separates him from any competition. Moreover, Nathan has a network of industry professionals who helped to make the process of buying and selling as smooth as possible. Overall, he has surpassed our expectations, and we would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy.
Nathan Stillwell was recommended by a mutual colleague. He was immediately responsive and made it a point to listen to my family's needs before looking at a single home. Nathan was respectful of our time and mindful of our needs during a frenzied market. Once engaged in showings, he was tireless pursuing multiple listing and strategies to meet our complex requirements. I was most impressed with his demeanor during negotiations, Nathan was calm and pragmatic working through the contract. Just outstanding! Moreover, Nathan surrounds himself with industry professionals who made all the needed paperwork and documentation a breeze. Well done!
Nathan was so wonderful to work with! He was highly recommended to us by someone and we are so happy that we decided to give him a call. Nathan was so wonderful to speak with on our initial phone call and we clicked instantly. We knew Nathan would help us find our dream house, which he totally did! Our house had multiple offers in this crazy real estate market, and we know that Nathan helped us have the edge on our offer being accepted. Since closing, Nathan has recommended services to us such as electricians and hardwood floor refinishers in the area and he has a great local understanding of Naperville!
Nathan was AMAZING. He listened to our needs and wants and found us the PERFECT home! We could not be happier! He is extremely knowledgeable and was never pushy. We never felt rushed when looking at houses. Definitely will be recommending him to anyone looking to buy a house! :)
Nathan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend him as the best agent in they area. He understood what we wanted and didnt waste our time pushing properties that didnt met our needs.
I would highly recommend Nathan. He was honest and knowledgeable about the neighborhoods, school districts, etc. that we looked at. He was also extremely responsive, even on holidays and weekends. He also gave us great recommendations for inspectors, attorneys, and lenders to make the process of buying our first home as smooth as possible. Great experience and a great guy!
Nathan was just wonderful to work with! He sold our house well over asking price & VERY quickly. He is proactive, knowledgeable, & easy to work with. He took the extra time to walk my husband and I through the process and make sure we were comfortable and understood how everything worked. We have recommended Nathan to our family/friends and they had the same wonderful experience we had. If you want the best experience, we HIGHLY recommend him!!
Nathan helped us find our dream home in Plainfield. His knowledge of the area and his caring attitude are something to uphold. We are so glad Zillow put us in contact with him, 100%.
Nathan completely blew us away!! We had to buy our house completely sight unseen as we were moving from another state and due to the pandemic we were unable to travel. He quickly earned our total trust and was eager to be our eyes and ears. He did home FaceTime tours, was always available for our questions , negotiated a phenomenal deal for us and has a huge network of referrals. we were able to move seamlessly from across the country without ever having physically been here! We can not recommend Nathan enough!
We purchased a home from out of state doing the entire transaction remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Nathan was our eyes and ears and was incredible to work with. Nathan is extremely response and goes far and beyond what is necessary. Nathan did several virtual walk throughs for us and allowed us to be present during the home inspection via FaceTime. He kept us updated daily through the process and recommend excellent attorneys and a great lender. We highly recommend Nathan and happily endorse him!
We worked with Nathan Stillwell to sell our home, and we could not recommend him more. Upon his first visit, we already had a firm plan to sell our townhome. He brought in an excellent team to showcase our home online, which created a higher volume of foot traffic, and brought in serious buyers. We received several offers due to Nathan's unbelievable work ethic, and the closing was a breeze. Due to our great experience, we are in the process of buying our next home with Nathan. Overall, he has surpassed our expectations, and we would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy.
If you are looking for someone with expertise in the Western Suburbs, and especially Naperville, than you should talk to Nathan Stillwell. He has represented me personally twice for both the purchase and sale of our first home in Naperville (2011) and then the purchase of my 2nd home (2017). As highly satisfied as we were on how he took care of us on our first-time homebuyer purchase back in 2011, I have since referred him to many friends and family that needed help buying or selling a home. He's also helped my parents and colleagues I work with on listing their places for rent and finding renters. In every circumstance, he has exceeded the expectations of the people I refer him which encourages me to keep doing so. Most recently this year in 2020 he helped some close friends in the same school district with both the sale of their current home and the purchase of their new home. His experience, work ethic, and customer focused approach separates him from any competition. I really appreciate how responsive Nathan is. He is relentless about follow up and constantly communicates about where you are in the process and the options you have that best serve your interests. In my own experience and from the feedback of my referrals Nathan has been described as aEUR~easy to work with, aEUR~always answers the phone, and aEUR~answers questions and understands my needs so I can make informed decisions. I highly recommend Nathan Stillwell.
Nathan is the best realtor I have worked with over the years. His attention to detail is amazing and his follow up to email, text, or phone calls was always super timely. If you are looking for someone who has a sense of urgency, knows the market, and gets things done, I would recommend that you reach out to Nathan Stillwell for his services.
Nathan is an expert residential broker. He understands that home buying is an emotional process for his clients and he is extremely patient and thorough in explaining everything so that all involved feel comfortable. When looking for a realtor, trust is very important, and I whole-heartedly trust Nathan to guide me through a home purchase and sale.
Nathan understood our personal needs. He is 100% honest and ethical. Nathan assembled the perfect team to ensure our purchase went smoothly during a time of uncertainty. We cannot thank him enough for the opportunity to work with him.

I have worked with Nathan on selling two of my homes and buying two homes, and consider him the best agent in Illinois. He has a deep understanding of the real estate market and is broad knowledge/contacts are crucial in making the right decision. If you encounter a problem during the process, Nathan will solve it. There is no "may" solve it, he solves it. Nathan always has this ability to find a solution. And as I think about how all this began, I reached out to him via Zillow by chance.
Nathan was top notch, and expert throughout the whole process. He helped us sell our house for top dollar, while buying our new house below appraised value!I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home!
Unfortunately didnt due our own due diligence and took what he said as fact during our home buying process. Rushed, not responsive, and lacking vested interest in clients ling term happiness.
Nathan was a great real estate agent. He was professional, honest, helpful, easy to contact, and worked to help us get our best price for our house. We sold the house in two days and got what we wanted as far as price. He answered all of our questions and in a timely fashion. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!
Nathan assisted me in both the sale of my existing home and the purchase of a new home. Nathan's knowledge of the Chicagoland market was evident in our first meeting. He was extremely well prepared and executed his plan of attack perfectly. Throughout the process, Nathan not only became a trusted advisor but also a friend. I would highly reccomend working with Nathan on either (or both) sides of any real estate transaction. A+1 work Nathan!
Nathan is a great guy and I'm glad he guided up through the home buying process. He had taken a trip while we were looking and made arrangements for us to still continue looking at homes while he was away. He was also available to discuss concerns with us while he was gone.
Nathan was our realtor for three transactions this summer. He was super responsive, great negotiator and very friendly. He talked us through all the decision points and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Highly recommend!
Nathan is a pro's pro, and an expert at understanding shifting supply and demand dynamics across DuPage County. He engineered a purchase of a challenging property and supported us professionally and personally throughout the journey.
Nathan and his team are some of the most hardworking, knowledgeable people we ever had the pleasure of working with. While my husband and I were searching for the perfect home for our family, Nathan brought a level of class and professionalism to the process that made it an absolute breeze throughout the whole process. He made a personal connection with us and we felt that he was invested in the sale of our home and also was able to find us our perfect new home to purchase. Nathan made the stressful home selling/buying process manageable and walked us through every step so we were aware and comfortable. He surrounds himself with people who are educated and successful in his immediate field but also the referrals for outside services (if necessary).We highly, highly recommend Nathan Stillwell for all real estate needs.
We purchased our first home with Nathan and he was incredible. He was very responsive and willing to take us to showings the same day houses came on the market. Nathan is extremely knowledgable about the western Chicago suburbs. I would recommend Nathan to anyone I know!
Nathan is unbelievably awesome!! My husband and I worked with him once before and due to unfortunate circumstances we had to wait a couple more years to find our home. Even though it had been two years later, my husband contacted him and he was more than happy to help us find the perfect home for our growing family! He worked odd hours to accommodate our schedules which was greatly appreciated. He is also very personable and he feels like more of a friend than our realtor. Our baby boy is now almost SEVEN months old and without Nathan we would not have our home where we could raise our son and grow our family!!

We sold and bought a house with Nathan. He was very professional and completely understood our personal situation. We are more than satisfied with Nathan and would highly recommend him.
Nathan is by far, the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. Not only did he help us find the right home for our family but he was able to negotiate an excellent price. Nathan promptly returns all phone calls and he is always willing to go the extra mile. We highly recommend Nathan Stillwell!

Nathan is the best! He truly cared about our happiness in finding a home! He worked with us for a long time and we are very happy with our purchase. He was always available to our needs and sold our home quickly!
Nathan worked with us for over 9 months looking for a home (please don't anyone else ever do that to him again!) and we had a contract on our home less than 3 weeks after listing. But most impressive of all, Nathan was able to calm my hysteria throughout the process, and he continues to thrive.
Great Experience! He was very respectful of our time and did his reach so well that we ended up buying the first house we looked at because he understood what we wanted! Highly Recommend!
Nathan was very knowledgeable and helpful when looking for our house. He was a straight shooting and would say up front whether a place wasn't worth it or not.He was willing to work with our schedule and show however many places we needed. I'd recommend him to anyone.
My husband and I found Nathan by chance when we wanted to view a specific house. We then continued to use Nathan as our realtor. My husband and I did not know much going into buying a house. Nathan was patient and explained the whole process well (and multiple times!). He was also never pushy with trying to get us to buy a house. We viewed 30-40 homes before he added a newly listed one to our viewings. The house he added, ended up being the house we bought! Do not be afraid to tell your realtor what you like and what you dont like! We may have never viewed this house if it weren't for Nathan. He works hard to know what is available as well as taking note on your likes and dislikes! Nathan also was able to get us a great deal at closing while beating out 2 other same day offers!
Nathan is great to work with. He knows the industry well and understands how to work a deal. I have purchased a condo, a house and sold a condo (same one I bought) and have had great experiences with all 3 deals. I bought a condo in Chicago, lived there for 3 years and when it came time to sell Nathan priced it aggressively and hit the number we were looking for in just 1 week (not to mention made a nice return thanks to Nathan). We were under a time crunch with our wedding and buying a house at the same time so we had to get it done fast. Nathan knocked it out of the park!We bought a house in May and Nathan negotiated the deal extremely well. We let him handle the negotiating decisions and we ended up getting the house about 18K under asking price. Again, Nathan didn't disappoint. Any real estate transactions I have will be under Nathan's watch. I would recommend that anyone out there looking to buy or sell a home to reach out to Nathan. He is not only a great relator but he is a great person and will always be upfront and honest.
