Gabe Derman - Realtor

JUST SOLD | 6535 Bosworth Ave

This Rogers Park multi-unit is an excellent example of how to leverage the “house hacking” strategy. It’s a 3-unit building, full of original woodwork and vintage character.

By owner-occupying one unit, the buyers are able to live in a home they love while generating more than $4,300/mo in rent. This income significantly offsets their mortgage, allowing them to build equity in an appreciating asset. This is a win now and a win for the future.

JUST SOLD | 1812 Oakton St

If you’ve been following the real estate market you know that the last 12 months have been incredibly tough for buyers. My client wrote on several homes and, like many, she faced the challenge of losing out in multiple-offers.

After getting under contract on a home earlier this year, she ultimately had to walk away when the seller was unable to deliver on the agreed-upon terms. It was a tough pivot, but it turned out for the best. Just one week later, we found 1812 Oakton. 🏠🌳

This beautifully maintained townhome has that quintessential Southwest Evanston charm. Due to the high demand, we moved quickly to beat out multiple offers. The transaction couldn’t have been smoother, closing in just 21 days 🤝🔑. She is already underway with updates to truly make the space her own and I couldn’t be happier for her. There is nobody more deserving!

Success in this market takes a plan, resilience, and the willingness to move fast when the right opportunity presents itself.

“As first-time homebuyers, Gabe was extremely helpful. He patiently explained the whole home buying process multiple times and was always available to answer any questions we had. We were very lucky to work with him and were able to find our dream house.”

The first-time home buying journey is often a mix of excitement and nerves. While it can be stressful at times, overall, the process should be an enjoyable one. There is nothing like seeing clients go from their first consultation to holding the keys to a home they love! 🔑🏡

“Gabe is by far the best realtor I’ve worked with. I’ve bought and sold several homes and have never been particular about choosing a realtor but now know what I was missing. Gabe was referred to me and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. He was professional, honest, courteous, and knowledgeable. He helped make a very stressful process manageable. I highly recommend Gabe and Sotheby’s.”
