About
Steven Glick
He has bought land, built on it, gutted and rebuilt older buildings, and carried investment property on his own balance sheet. Very few Chicago brokers can say that, and it changes the advice.
When a client asks whether a building is worth the rehab, or what a developer will realistically pay for a lot, the answer comes from having done it rather than from having read about it. The work covers ordinary residential buying and selling, and it also covers land acquisition, new construction, gut rehab and investment purchases across the city and into Evanston.
Almost all of it arrives by referral. This is not a volume practice. Clients stay for decades and then send their siblings, their colleagues and their own clients, which is the reason nothing on this site is trying to rush you into anything.

The first call
A consultation, not a listing presentation
Twenty to thirty minutes, by phone or in person. You will not be asked to sign anything.
An honest price
What comparable properties on your blocks have actually closed at, and where yours sits against them. Including when the number is lower than you hoped.
What it needs first
Selling, the work worth doing before it lists and the work to skip. Buying, what to look at hard in the buildings you are considering.
Next steps in writing
A short summary afterward, so you have something to think about or to forward to whoever else is deciding with you.

What he actually does
Five kinds of transaction, one broker
Where 33 years actually shows
Most brokers do the last one on this list. Steven has been the principal on the other four.
- New constructionFrom the lot through to the certificate of occupancy. He has been the builder, so he knows which line items move and which never do.
- Land acquisitionFinding the parcel, reading what can realistically go on it, and knowing what it is worth to the next buyer rather than to the seller.
- Gut rehabAn honest read on what a building needs before you own it, from someone who has paid for the surprises himself.
- Investment propertyTwo flats, three flats and small multifamily, underwritten on what the building will actually return.
- Buying and selling a homeThe everyday work, done carefully. Pricing you can follow, and a broker who shows the property himself.
Useful to have on hand
None of it is required. Having it in front of you makes the first twenty minutes worth considerably more.
- The property addressOr the PIN, if you have it to hand.
- A rough mortgage payoffIf you are selling. An estimate is fine.
- Budget and pre-approval statusIf you are buying, and whether you have spoken to a lender yet.
- The deadline you are working againstA job, a school year, a lease ending, a closing on the other side.

Before you call
The questions he gets most
What parts of Chicago do you work in?
Most of the work is on the north and northwest sides: Lincoln Square, Ravenswood, Roscoe Village, North Center, Lincoln Park, Old Town and River North, plus Evanston and the near North Shore. If a property sits outside that range, Steven will say so and refer you to someone who works there every day.
Do you work with investors and developers, or only with homeowners?
Both. Steven has been a developer, builder, rehabber and investment property owner himself, so a large share of the practice is land acquisition, new construction, gut rehab and small multifamily purchases alongside ordinary residential sales.
How do you decide what a property should be priced at?
A walkthrough first, then comparable sales, the condition of the building against those comparables, and how quickly similar properties have been absorbing on the immediate blocks around it. You get the reasoning, not only the number.
How is your commission structured?
It is discussed in plain terms at the first conversation and put in writing before anything is signed. There is no version of this where the fee arrives as a surprise at the closing table.
How long does a consultation take?
Twenty to thirty minutes, by phone or in person. It is a conversation about your timeline and your property, not a listing presentation, and there is no obligation at the end of it.
