Well as they say do you believe in miracles that’s what Tracy pulled off. She stuck with me through thick and thin what seems like an impossible task to sell a property, but I wouldn’t ask anyone else but her. She definitely knows what she’s doing and she’s such a kind and compassionate person. I’m glad I got to know her and her staff. Thank you so much for everything, Dominick Cuomo - rick bargerJennifer Justus is absolutely incredible! She helped us find the perfect house. I would strongly recommend her and will use her again in the future!
- Teri MeyerA huge thank you to Tracy and her staff. Tracy helped us not only purchase a home but also sell a home, and all within two months. Tracy is very knowledgeable, kind, passionate and compassionate. She was incredibly responsive with our thousand questions and kept us calm and focused during this stressful time. I highly recommend working with her Tracy, she is truly a beautiful person inside and out!

We used Tracy and Stellar Results Realty to sell my 90 year old mom's home in McHenry this past fall and we could not be any happier with how the entire process went. We interviewed several real estate agents but were blown away by all of the time and effort that was put into their listing presentation. Tracy showed us many comparable homes in her area and pointed out pros and cons compared to my mom's place. We listed the house for more than we had hoped for and received more than our asking price. That shows that Tracy definitely knew the market that my mom's house was in and guided us appropriately. We had a small bump in the process due to a buyer backing out for personal reasons and Tracy and Stellar Results Realty handled that issue quickly and got our home back on the market and resold above asking price in less than a week. We moved my mom out of state so we needed Tracy's help with certain details that we could not be there to take care and Tracy stepped up and helped 110%. We received weekly status updates regarding the entire process and our questions were always answered promptly. We HIGHLY recommend using Tracy and Stellar Results Realty if you are thinking of selling or buying in the Fox Lake, McHenry area. Sincerely,Kim and Evelyn - cpiggott07I would recommend Tracy to anyone selling or buying a home. She helped us do both and I feel so lucky we met at an open house. She made both processes as smooth as possible. There were some unexpected circumstances in the selling of our house but she kept laser-focused. I'm not sure how she did it but the entire time I felt like I was her only client. She always made time for me. She's extremely knowledgeable, endlessly helpful, and just an all-around great person to work with.
- vs9zhq4vv2Just the best! Tracy Stella was truly godsend I was informed with every detail but yet not overwhelmed. She is honest straightforward with an sense of humor. My home was bought within three months of me meeting Tracy. I would often forget that she has other clients due to feeling like I was the only one. Thank you for great service!
- kristenstepanekTracy was extremely helpful when my boyfriend and I were buying our first house. She could always answer any questions we had and was available whenever we needed. She went above and beyond for us. We definitely recommend Tracy and Sam to anyone looking to buy or sell!
- rsaudette4We decided to sell our home this spring, and a friend provided us with Tracy's contact information. She responded to us very quickly and prepared a comprehensive marketing plan for our home sale. We'd lived in our home for almost 30 years and didn't know what to expect, but Tracy explained the process and made us feel at ease. She and a colleague also staged our home for sale which really helped us maximize its potential. This included sending us referals for tradesmen (repairs) as well as decorating suggestions that made our home look beautiful! Her contacts for photos and videography did an excellant job as well. Because of her hard work, the house sold in a few days, with multiple offers and well over asking price! Tracy updated us each week on the progress of the sale, right up through the closing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with a Realtor!
