A brokerage of one, on purpose
You hire a broker. You get him.
The same person, the whole way through
Cloud Nine Realty Group is Erik Stegemann. He takes the call, walks the house, reads the inspection, writes the offer and sits at the closing table. Nothing is handed to an assistant, and nothing is learned about your file secondhand.
A territory small enough to know by block
Seven markets along the Eisenhower and the Burlington line, worked for over two decades, close enough that a block’s difference in price is something he has seen rather than looked up.
Advice you can act on, not a sales position
If a house is wrong for you, he says so. If the timing is poor, he says that too. The work is explaining what you are looking at clearly enough that the decision is yours.
“A house is a set of decisions. My job is to make sure you understand every one of them before you sign.”

Two ways this goes
Buying here. Or selling here.
The work is not the same in each direction, and neither is the advice. Choose the one you are actually in.
Find the right block
Price is set by the street as much as the house. Erik walks the blocks with you and tells you what a listing is really sitting on before you write anything.
- What a block is worth, from sales he has seen rather than looked up
- Inspection read in full, with the items that actually matter flagged
- Offer terms and contingencies negotiated by the broker himself
Price it on evidence
A valuation is a position you have to defend at appraisal. Erik builds yours from comparable sales on comparable streets, then shows you the working.
- A number supported by comparables, not an optimistic round figure
- An ordered list of what to fix, what to leave and what buyers notice
- Showings run by Erik, with buyer feedback relayed to you directly

Where Erik works
Seven markets. Different houses.
A Victorian in Riverside, a Prairie foursquare in Oak Park and a brick bungalow in Berwyn are three different purchases. Point at a name to see it.
- Oak Park Prairie School and Victorian stock, a walkable centre and the Green Line into the Loop.
- River Forest Larger lots, heavier tree canopy, the quietest of the seven markets.
- Riverside A planned landscape of curving streets. Erik’s own office is here.
- Berwyn Chicago bungalows, block after block, and the most house per dollar of the seven.
- North Riverside Small, central and close to the Harlem Avenue corridor.
- Elmhurst Further west along the line, with a larger downtown of its own.
- Chicago The city itself, where the Green and Blue lines end up.
In their own words
One client, one review, unedited

What the work consists of
A sale is a long run of decisions.
Most are made before anyone signs anything, and most are where a sale is won or quietly lost. These are the six Erik runs himself.
Six stages, one broker
Pricing from comparables
A number you can defend at appraisal, built from sales on comparable streets rather than an optimistic round figure.
Preparing the house
An ordered list of what to fix, what to leave and what a buyer will notice in the first ten seconds.
Photography and listing copy
Professional images and a description written for the specific house, not assembled from a template.
Showings and feedback
Erik runs them. What buyers say at the door is relayed to you directly and acted on while it still matters.
Offer and negotiation
Terms, timing and contingencies read in full, then negotiated by the person who has been in the house.
Inspection to closing
Attorney review, inspection responses, appraisal and the walkthrough, tracked through to the closing table.

The next step
Start with a conversation.
No pitch and no obligation. Tell Erik what you are considering and he will tell you plainly what he thinks, whether or not there is a sale in it.
Or send it in writing
Tell him what you are working on
A few lines about the house, the town or the timing is enough. Erik answers these himself.
Seven towns. One broker. Still here.
Erik Stegemann owns Cloud Nine Realty Group and carries every file himself, across the western suburbs and the city.
