Review for Member: Stephen Ellerbrake
ZillowVERIFIEDSteve Ellerbrake and his team helped me sell and then buy a new house about ten years ago, and it was such a great experience I immediately thought of him when I needed to sell my home recently. I wanted to downsize and he helped me find the perfect place, and went well above and beyond what other realtors would do when faced with multiple problems from the sellers. His background in building and construction was a huge help during the home search as well. Once I was in the new home and ready to sell the old one, he helped me get the house staged and his team put together a gorgeous profile with amazing photos, and it sold within two days of going on the market. Throughout the whole process he was patient and practical, and Terri and the rest of his crew worked really hard to keep everything moving smoothly and on time. If you're looking for a realtor with many years of experience in real estate, connections within and knowledge of the local community, and a deep understanding of current market trends, look no further than the Ellerbrake Group.

ZillowVERIFIEDEric was a phenomenal realator for my family and I! He made the transition here from across country as seamless as possible and provided much needed information prior to arrival and throughout the process. We would definitely recommend Eric and the Ellerbrake Group to our friends and family!

ZillowVERIFIEDCan't say enough good things about the Ellerbrake group. Steve was always available. He explained the process of selling our home in great detail and made the process pleasurable. Eric went above and beyond. He came to our home and helped us manage the manage the paperwork through the computer.Terri was always ready to listen and answer my questions no matter when I called. The Ellerbrake group cares about customers, is very efficient, and has great communication skills.

ZillowVERIFIEDHere are things I want to say about Eric:-BEST AGENT EVER (we have worked with several throughout our military moves)-Professional, friendly, punctual, reliable-Knowledgeable, proactive, diligent, detail oriented-Honest, transparent, treated us like family -Efficient yet flexible-Tech SavvyThere aren't enough words to describe how awesome Eric Booth is. He helped us find the perfect home for our family in Illinois. Ellerbrake group stood out among many real estate agencies near Scott AFB. When I contacted Steve, I was immediately in touch with the buyers specialist, Eric. I received an e-mail from him and a phone call right away keeping in mind the 5-hour time difference from where we were moving from. Being a veteran himself, he understood the complexity of military moves and was proactive from the get go. He provided us with MLS portal access that customized specifically for the type of homes we were looking for. In the beginning I had no idea he was thinking 5 steps ahead, but he had anticipated what we would be needing in our home searching/buying process and was more than ready to answer questions and provide us with tips (that would save us $). When we landed in St. Louis, he welcomed us at the hotel we were staying at with a note at the lobby. He also provided us with a list of restaurants and family friendly activities. When we were ready to go see homes, he had prepared an excel spreadsheet of homes planned in a way to navigate them in the most efficient route possible. With 2 young children in tote, we were able to see 22 homes in 2 days (He even scheduled lunch break for us!). This was amazing. Eric is incredibly detail oriented, and at every step, he was our advocate. He pointed out things he saw in homes that we would have missed (e.g. mold issues, foundation issues, etc). When we found a home we were interested in seeing, he wasted no time and added it to our schedule - which we found to be a critical factor in our home buying process. The home we chose had multiple offers but he was diligent in providing us with the best market value analysis of the home and ultimately negotiating on our behalf to win the bid. Ellerbrake group has a list of trusted advisors/contractors to help with home maintenance. Eric helped us schedule our home inspection and even got us additional discount. While waiting to close on our home, he made sure to check-in with us. Also providing additional tips to avoid potential fraud in wiring process. Eric is so prompt at getting back to us, I dont think he ever rests. Whenever I e-mailed or texted Eric, he called back right away, explaining that he is unable to text or email back since hes on the road (driving). He can multitask so well! Never worked with an agent this committed! Housewarming personalized gift at the close of escrow with a hand-written note was very touching. Even after the close of escrow, him and his wife drove me to St. Louis to shop at Asian supermarkets and restaurants. We have worked with several agents in the past with our numerous military moves, and Eric is THE BEST of them all. He exceeded all our expectations. We trust him completely and most HIGHLY recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIEDStephen did a fantastic job in helping us purchase our home. As an out of town buyer, it was nice to work with someone who had significant industry experience, as well as a superb understanding of the local market. We purchased an older home. Stephen was able to provide quality guidance, as well as a book of qualified contractors to see us through the process. I highly recommend Stephen.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a wonderful experience working with this group. Everything was very organized and they always responded very quickly to questions or concerns. The prep work was a little overwhelming, but definitely made the house look beautiful in the photos and helped get us an offer within 6 days! Well worth the effort! Thanks so much to the Ellerbrake group for helping us sell our first home!

ZillowVERIFIEDSteve not only helped my buy my new dream home, he then helped sell my existing home. After following all of his teams instructions to be a Golden Ticket Certified Home we had an offer, above asking, within 3 weeks times. His office team is extraordinary and Terri is a huge asset. Both her and Steve are willing to do anything to make sure that the entire process is smooth and that all the details are taken care of. During this process I was able to see how other realtors did not always offer their clients the best advice and how Steve really did have my back as both a buyer and a seller. When dealing with something as important as selling/buying a home, you better make sure you use someone that knows what they are doing and will work on your behalf, not just for the sale. I highly recommend The Ellerbrake Team

ZillowVERIFIEDIf I can give this agent 0 stars I would. What a depressing awful experience we had with the entire Ellerbrake team! Our property was misrepresented, the agent allowed our home to sit on the market for 6 months with little to no activity. Communication was just awful! Never communicated, wasn't helpful at all. They made us feel like they had no interest in selling our property. The contract was finally over, listed our property with a different agent who accurately represented our home and our home was under contract in less than 30 days.

The whole Ellerbrake group was helpful. Terri was always helpful and pleasant when answering the phone at the office. Kara was very patient when showing us new houses until we finally found our forever home. We would definitely use the Ellerbrake group in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDI could not have envisioned a better experience than that provided by Steve and the Ellerbrake team. We listed and closed on the house in exactly 30 days and got the price we were hoping for. Most helpful, though, Steve's team took care of scheduling repair work and cleaning to make it easier for us since we did not live in the home at the time of the sale. They treated us like family, and people would be foolish not to list their homes with The Ellerbrake team.

Review for Member: Stephen Ellerbrake
ZillowVERIFIEDStephen Ellerbrake has my highest recommendation as a consummate professional, and one of the most skilled realtors with whom I've conducted business (this comes from a military member who has gone through numerous real estate transactions). My wife and I began our purchase with a different agent under a dual agency -- we fired that agent when a conflict of interest was revealed. We then hired Mr. Ellerbrake who expertly navigated us through the most contentious transaction we've experienced. Mr. Ellerbrake protected our interests and ensured the sellers were held accountable for their agreed-upon responsibilities. In summary, Mr. Ellerbrake salvaged a deal that had gone sideways, and I consider him unrivaled in this market. Hire him!

ZillowVERIFIEDMr. Ellerbrake and his associates are very professional and timely with providing up to date information on the progress on the selling of my home. My decision to use Mr. Ellerbrake for the selling of my home was due to his assistance to guide me in the purchase of this same property two and half years prior. I highly recommend Mr. Ellerbrake with his knowledge of the area, professionalism and outstanding insights on construction and being able to tell you whether or not something is not built properly or up to code.

ZillowVERIFIEDDue to an "empty nest" and my husband taking a promotion on the East Coast, we enthusiastically agreed to move from our home of nine years and start a new chapter. I had to prepare our home for sale on my own. From the first interview with Steve, I knew he understood the support required to improve our well-loved home so it would be market-ready in less than a month. Since the Ellerbrake Team is extremely well-networked and attentive, scheduling the right contractors was a breeze. Once our home was ready, the Ellerbrake Team's photos and write up for marketing were impeccable. As I left the area and my vacant home sitting for sale, my husband and I were notified of all the showings (and comments from potential buyers) via a mobile app, which brought the long-distance project to us in real time. It was less than a month before the place we had called home was under contract. We are so grateful for Steve Ellerbrake's exceptional real estate knowledge and transparent business practices!

ZillowVERIFIEDStephen and the team at the Ellerbrake Group impressed us with their strong knowledge of the local market and solid understanding of how to best incorporate technology (videos, high-quality photography, etc.) to sell our house for the highest price. The Ellerbrake Group helped us stage our house to sell, helped us make all the (fairly minor) repairs needed easily, and we sold quickly at our asking price. I am confident that without Stephen's help, we would have had a much less successful home selling experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDFantastic group of people to work with. I am a first time home buyer so needless to say I had many ...many questions; Stephen and his associates were there to help me every step of the way. They were able to get me into potential houses as soon as I requested. Every house suggested by them met the criteria. If you're on the fence with who you'd like to assist you on this gigantic step... I wouldn't look any further than Stephen Ellerbrake and his associates. A special shot out to Kara Jones, who was an absolute delight to work with and the beacon of hope we needed to get through the most important financial decision that we've ever made.

ZillowVERIFIEDSteve Ellerbrake understands the process of how to sell a house from A to Z. Beginning with a thorough inspection, adding his deep knowledge of local inspection requirements and pitfalls, professional photographs, and internet models to attract buyers. All this added up to our house receiving a bid at the first showing and for asking price. His recommendations for contractors and inspectors were impeccable and all performed amazing work. He is the best--weve done this before and the service steve and the ellerbrake group provide are above and beyond. Did I mention first day on the market bid? Outstanding!

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend Steve and the Ellerbrake Group. I couldn't have sold my house so quickly without the guidance of Steve and his staff. Getting the house ready to sell was extremely difficult because of the high standards they require for their listings. But they have proven themselves time and time again with fast reliable results. Once I was ready their photographer came thru the house not only taking pictures but HD video as well. It looked fantastic! We listed two days later and had showings everyday! The house was officially on contract after only 8 short days on the market. So you see why I readily recommend Stephen Ellerbrake.

ZillowVERIFIEDSteve Ellerbrake's experience as a home builder was invaluable in helping us prepare our home for the market. It was under contract within 3 weeks and we closed within 90 days of listing. He responded quickly to our questions and provided advice for our strategic decisions all throughout the process. His input helped us maximize our return on investment. Steve also helped us with the purchase of our new home. We closed on the new house the same day we closed the sale of our old home. I am certain that this would not have been possible without his assistance and unlikely with most other realtors. Steve's calm and analytical approach to the issues that popped up along the way minimized the stress and allowed us to have fun with it. Terri's support and responsiveness to questions and concerns also played a significant role in our overall satisfaction with the experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDExtremely professional! Explains in detail the process involved selling your house and keeps you informed every step of the way. In the beginning, suggests what you need to do to improve your success in selling. His plans sets up your house to include staging to ensure it shows as the absolute best. With his best direction and advice, makes it clear that the final decision on anything concerning the sale is yours! His very successful past experience is something that you should take advantage of and put to work for you. Because we followed his advice, our house sold.

Review for Member: Stephen Ellerbrake
ZillowVERIFIEDThey were able to sell our home in less than one week in 2012 was great. However is only fair to mention that we had bought the home in 2009 as a foreclosure with the intention of flipping it for a profit in the future. That is to say we had already done a lot of work on the home including new floors, appliances, windows, roof, utilities, patio and landscaping. We also staged it ourselves. My only complaint about working with them is that during the negotiations my realtor waffled with his advice. This left me feeling alone with no one fighting for me during this stressful time. He did have good advice on building homes though and I would trust him as a home inspector or builder.

The Gold Ticket contractors associated with the Ellerbrake Group were excellent. Steve Ellerbrake's assessment of the market was spot-on and ensured my sale in a timely manner. I'm very pleased with the professionalism and honesty displayed by the entire team. Thanks Ellerbrake Group!
