Plain and simply put, the Ellerbrake Group has been nothing short of amazing to work with — both previously helping our parents purchase their home in O Fallon, and more recently selling our home in Nolin Creek Estates. As a first-time seller, Steve walked us through the entire process, and even during COVID-19 spent hours answering our questions and giving us advice for how to prepare the house for sale over FaceTime. Steve is honest and extremely knowledgeable of both the area and real estate due to his construction background and deep ties to the O Fallon community. For us, if we ever buy or sell a home again in the Metro East — the Ellerbrake Group will be our first call!

When I decided to sell my home I began researching realtors in the local area who were established, knowledgeable in local market and top producers, I narrowed it down to two and chose Stephen Ellerbrake. I needed someone who understood the time sensitivity of my need to relocate, was willing to work through the hurdles of the COVID-19 pandemic, honest and transparent to what it would take to sell my home but most importantly a real estate "shark". I found that in the Ellerbrake Team, particularly working with Stephen who lived up to and exceeded every expectation from start to finish and didn't "disappear" once I signed with him. *Stephen had showings scheduled before my home was on the market! *In less than 4hrs of those showings I had offers one of which was accepted.
Throughout the process, Stephen was professional, attentive, honest, and always readily available. His office runs like a well oiled machine, communication is frequent as well as guidance. Thank you Ellerbrake Group of RE/MAX preferred for your outstanding service of America's Heroes and their families.

Great realtor and great team. They really know their stuff and they made the selling process really easy for us. Whatever came up Steve and the team handled it. They really do a great job of communication and coordinating things. There's a lot of moving parts when you're buying or selling and Steve and the team walk you through and explain everything. I would highly recommend Steve and the team to anyone buying or selling a home especially in the O'fallon, Il area. Great team and great guy!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Steve Ellerbrake of Kelly Ellerbrake Re/Max Realty. I turned to him to sell a condo in O’Fallon IL. I had listed this property several times in the past without much interest or activity. Steve and his team activity promoted this property across the wide spectrum of Real Estate websites which resulted in hundred of views and the eventual sale. He and his team marketed this property as if it was a high value listing and didn’t let the relative value of the property limit their marketing activities. Since I reside in California, I never had the opportunity to personally meet with Steve, but he handled the entire transaction as if I was a next door neighbor.

Selling a home in the Metro East can be hard. The Ellerbrake Team delivers. Market intelligence, staging advice, quality photography, and internet savvy combine with the RE/MAX platform to assure that the house is presented at its best to the largest audience possible.

Area agents recognize Ellerbrake listings as quality listings. Better agents show your home to better buyers.

We listed our house for over two years without success. Steve Ellerbrake reached out to us, we made a few minor changes, and he had the house under contract in less than 45 days. Same house. Same market. The difference was the comprehensive professional marketing effort.

As a military family, having bought and sold multiple houses, moving is stressfull enough that having the right realtor becomes priority one. We filled that componant masterfully by using the 'Kelly Ellerbrake Team'.

It's not the big things that drive you crazy, but the little nit-picking items that, as a seller or buyer, one doesn't even know about that will killl you. Example: As if HOAs rules and regulations aren't hard enough to wade thru, one missunderstanding can kill a closing. Kelly's team was so thorough that even our HOA office was forced to realize they had a problem in their system. This one incident would have been disastrous if it hadn't been discovered before we sat down to close.

Also, whether buying or selling, the bottom line will stay with you forever and the team guided us to make quality decisions that put extra money in our pocket. The trust established made us contact the team when we were ready to buy our new home at our new location. They interviewed realtors in our area and gave us a list of the ones they felt fitted our needs. We then interviewed three and chose the one we flelt the best with. This turned out to again be a lifesaver. We will always continue to use this referral connection with the team!

We obviously highly recommend the 'Kelly Ellerbrake Team'.

The Kelly Ellerbrake team is an outstanding realty team. We recently switched to their service simply because we felt so reassured and confident when talking to them about the sale of our home. Mr. Ellerbrake has been an invaluable resource in helping us with this phase of our lives. Mr. Gutierrez's photos are truly professional and well-done. We highly recommend them!
