My wife and I met Stephanie and Beth at an open house a few years ago. I had already been looking to ditch my agent at the time, mostly because he was not listening to me and he was pushing us towards a decision that he would make, not necessarily a choice we wanted. (We moved from the city to North Shore-a big decision for us as we've been downtown for over a decade, and still love it). Then we ran into Steph/Beth at another subsequent open house. I'd had enough with my old agent's pushy/slime-y salesmanship and we had built a quick and comfortable rapport with Beth/Steph. The decision was clear, for buying in the North Shore, we would begin a working relationship with Beth/Steph. Over the course of two years, they graciously guided us through searching, knowing the whole time we may not end up pulling the trigger for a long time. That didn't matter to them, they weren't hunting for a deal. They were fighting for our best interests, which I love. Never pushy, always helpful and always patient. In my experience, you don't often see that with realtors. You often get the hard sell, desperation mode style of pitching a deal. That hard sell and aggressive tactics tells me as a customer that they don't really care about the client, they just care about their commission. Stephanie and Beth are the polar opposite and we consider ourselves lucky to have had a few chance run ins that turned into a fruitful working relationship. Win-Win through and through. No matter what end of a real estate transaction you're on, Beth and Stephanie have all my praise and confidence in stewarding a client from start to finish. read more

I was recently commissioned by Highland Park Realtor, Beth Alberts to assist with a home staging project for one of her listings. A rather large home with lots of stuff to shuffle about, I was completely impressed by Beth's ability to quickly identify the strengths and weaknesses of the home and determine what needed to be accomplished prior to getting it on the market. Completely hands-on with obvious design sense, she gave great direction and even brought in loads of throw pillows and artwork from her own home to see her vision through. Though I haven't worked with Beth personally on the sale or purchase of a home, I would highly recommend her services. She works fast, has the utmost respect for her clients and thorough knowledge for what a buyer would want to see. Beth is willing to go above and beyond to get the job done. And, here's the proof, because she just announced the house went under contract with multiple offers in only seven days! read more

My husband was transferred out-of-state and Beth sold our house in record time. During a Chicago winter. At a great price (i.e. we made money) What else is there? Hire Beth. No, seriously. Hire Beth. read more

Words can barely do justice to truly explain the pot of gold we found in Beth and Steph through Alberts + Maletsky Real Estate, but I can sure try! The strong reviews that we saw online attracted us to Alberts + Maletsky Real Estate, and we now can wholeheartedly agree with each glowing review that we read. From the moment we reached out to start the house search, Beth and Steph were so responsive. They were willing to meet, connect on the phone or via email almost 24/7 and always were so quick to respond. As first time home buyers there was so much that we didn't know, and Beth and Steph were so through in explaining things to us and answering the hundreds of questions that we had. Their knowledge of the market and of Highland Park really shined through as they always gave tremendous advice that was realistic, honest, and reliable. We quickly realized how trustworthy they both are personally and professionally. Beth and Steph were never pushy or overbearing. In fact, they made us feel so comfortable throughout the process it was almost as if they quickly turned from real estate agents to acquaintances to friends. Beth and Steph were patient with us and took time to walk through 24 houses with us before we found the right one. They walked us through each step of the process up to closing, and as now home owners, we are still reaching out to them with questions and they are still as responsive and reliable as ever. We are the lucky ones to have found such an amazing team of woman who are so dedicated to their job, have passion for their work, and are so genuine along the way. We can't recommend Alberts + Maletsky Real Estate enough! read more

My husband and I have worked with Beth for years! She helped us find our first home in Highland Park, then helped us sell it later when we needed more space. She's patient and always prompt with her answers when we needed them. Thanks again for all your help. We'll definitely reach out if we're looking for a home in the northshore area again :) read more

We are new to the area and found Alberts and Maletsky because of their great online reviews, so it wanted to pay it forward. We had a fantastic experience and I would recommend them to anyone, particularly young families, as both women not only know area real estate like the back of their hands, they are also very active in the community and can do anything from tell you the pros and cons of a particular house and area to recommend an excellent pediatrician! My husband and I fell in love with a particular house early on and to their credit Beth and Stephanie discouraged us from making an offer until we had seen more of what was out there. It would have been easier for them to encourage us to buy right away and take the easy money, but they went out of their way to ensure that we would have confidence in our choice and love our house for many years to come. read more

Incredible find. Beth and Stephanie were amazing to work with, I found them randomly online from all the great reviews and there was no doubt after our first conversation how right everyone was. They were personable, available 24/7 and helped us navigate the entire north shore and find something that fit us perfectly. I can not say enough- no matter your need it was a comfortable, easy relationship with no pressure and all support. They knew of things before they came on the market and when our first home fell through Beth had bookings that same day before I even asked her so I didn't have to panic. Also had great resources once we got here for local handyman, utilities, and lawyers for all needs... CALL THEM! Lifelong realtors. read more

Beth and Stephanie helped to make the sale of our home so easy. From helping us decide what improvements to make prior to listing, to the final closing, they provided exemplary service and attention to detail. Their professionalism and caring were evident in all they did. We are so very grateful. Thanks Beth and Stephanie! read more

Hands down the best one-two punch on the Northshore! This winning combo went the extra mile providing world-class customer service in our very difficult and unusual closing. Alberts and Maletsky answered every text, email, and phone call within minutes. We are repeat clients and highly recommend their services. read more

Stephanie and Beth are so wonderful to work with, we can't say enough about them! Steph found us an amazing house and was there for us every step of the way throughout the buying process. I have worked with other agents in the city and none of them came close to Stephanie! read more

This team is dedicated and selfless and was beyond gracious in helping us through the ups and downs. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough great things about Beth - I loved how responsive she was and also how willing she was to give us our space when it was needed. When push came to shove and we finally found a house that we wanted to put an offer in on, she conducted comprehensive research and came up with a very aggressive first offer. Then, throughout negotiation, she took a hard line on the number and the end result was a great price for us. More than anything, she was a great sounding board and understood what we were looking for throughout the process. We could not have been more pleased and would recommend her again and again! read more
