Thanks to Aaron for helping me set up tours of condos, FaceTiming, texts and lots of calls all from Florida. Aaron helped me make my move from FL possible. It wasn't easy and we hit about every road block possible! From lender issues to seller issues, Aaron was helpful in every hurdle! When I felt like giving up and sick of the waiting game on getting a "mortgage" Aaron was right there not letting me give up on my dream. I am now an owner of an amazing condo in the Gold Coast with one of the best views in the city! If you want a realtor whose not pushy, professional and really knows the city contact Aaron Gill! read more

So I just got a job and had to get an Apartment in Chicago when I was there for only 24 hours. My mom and I looked on Apartments.com and Aaron responded right away. We sent him places we were looking at and he was able to set up appointment and found apartments that he thought I would like. He drove us around and explained the city to us as we passed by places. He ended up showing me the apartment I got.. and it's walking distance to work and dt nightlife! Epoch is AMAZING!!!!! If you are new to the area or just need a new place defiantly give them a call. If you want to get overwhelmed or stuck at a crappy apartment go ahead and do it yourself. BUT if you want an amazing apartment, someone who will keep your wishes in mind, look out for you and feel like your on house hunter... give them a call! you won't regret it! read more

As an Australian relocating to Chicago nearly 12 months ago, I was beyond grateful to have met Stephanie on my first day of house hunting. Within 20 mins she had a complete understanding of my wants and needs and was able to point me in the right direction to my new apartment. My new apartment is perfection and I'm so happy Stephanie took me there. I was so impressed by Stephanie's knowledge, patience and passion for the real estate industry in Chicago - she is more than just a broker, she is an industry Guru! I would highly recommend Epoch to all new (and old!) comers to Chicago as there is no-one who knows Chicago real estate better. read more

It was great working with Aaron. I was in a time crunch, and Aaron took the time to understand my needs and showed me a few places that ticked all my boxes. I wasn't sure if I would have time for a second round of showings on a different day, but thanks to Aaron it wasn't needed. He took me to 4 different apartments, and at the end of the day I was left with a happy headache of trying to choose between two very good options. Once I finalized the apartment, I had to do the application/screening process online while I was out of the country, and Aaron helped co-ordinate things really well with the leasing manager. Overall, he took great care to understand exactly what I was looking for, and I highly recommend his services to anyone that's looking for a place in Chicago. Bottom line - Just mention your budget, your must-haves, and a few neighborhoods of interest, and let Aaron take care of the rest! read more

Aaron was a great broker and really helped streamline the process to get us into an apartment that we love.

When my friend referred me to Regina at Epoch I was in distrust of real estate agencies. Regina took me by surprise when she showed up promptly on a last-minute notice with genuine kindness, no-bullshit professionalism, and vibrant energy. The moment I saw her my distrust started withering away. As I worked with Regina, she personally walked me around many neighborhoods, proactively set up appointments with property management companies, and really took care and consideration to understand what I was looking for. Most importantly, Regina truly had my best interest at heart, and offered honest opinions regardless of her own personal interest. I had a better experience than I could have ever asked for with Regina, and she'll be my go-to girl whenever I consider moving or buying a property in Chicago. read more

If You are in Search of a home this is definitely the company you want to use. Ryan was a guiding light for my home search. The original apartment I wanted was taken off the market and Ryan already had great suggestions to keep my search moving forward. I eventually found a unit from his suggestions. He immediately did a tour and was a liaison between myself and the apartment's leasing staff. I was so busy with work but I was able to save time and take advantage of the renting specials because of Ryan's quick responses to my questions. The service was flawless. I would definitely recommend. read more

Stephanie is the best at what she does. She will find you the perfect apartment and make you feel at home. One of the few brokers in town that truly makes you feel that she has only your best interests in mind. read more

Stephanie knows this city in and out! She's extremely passionate about Chicago real estate and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. Stephanie really invests the time to get to know her clients, understand their needs and make recommendations. I moved to Chicago on a whim for my job and I didn't know a single person. Stephanie helped me find my apartment which has led to many friendships and created many memories. I highly recommend working with her to find your next apartment! read more

Stephanie is nothing short of amazing! She builds real relationships with her clients and always listens to needs, wants and price points when sending rental and buying options. I've had the pleasure of acquiring her services this year and she was very expeditious with responses and confident that we would find a place I loved. I highly recommend her to any one in the market who wants professionalism along with a genuine care for your needs and wants. read more

Let me attempt to paint a picture: I was in the most stressful time of my life, wrapping up 2017 by moving nearly 1200 miles away, within less than a month's notice... to continue my career. I was moving to downtown Chicago... A city (in my eyes): 1) Full of traffic beyond imagination to a suburban Texan (Side note: parallel parking to me translates to parking somewhere else); 2) Across the nation away from the comfort of my family, my friends, my home and my therapy cat that I can't even consider being apart from; 3) Where I knew no more than maybe two people; 4) That I would call home for an unknown number of months; 5) Where safety and sense of direction was a concern, but walking in the same direction as the wind seemed the most logical route to any destination; 7) Where getting a cab or driving was going to be a daily coin toss depending on my level of confidence and inches of snow that morning; 8) That I would call home in December... what a wonderful warm invite to this arctic tundra. Stress relief quickly became ignoring reality. Searches and phone calls were leaving me more confused than before; I didn't know who to ask, what to ask, who to trust for a valid and accurate professional opinion, what direction West loop was in this maze, and resorted to the Willis tower being my only landmark for orientation. I could not take this chance and decided to play it safe by remaining in my comfort zone of Texas... possibly ending my career. However, it was a sudden surge of strength from one reason only, that encouraged me to make the leap of faith. A reason that took under two minutes of my time. A reason that immediately captivated me and mirrored elegance that was built within the company's structure, core and foundation. A reason that let me feel the personal connection through vision alone. A reason that portrayed my thoughts through simplicity, yet allured me with its skill. A reason that resonated closely with my trepidations, yet provided a sense of grace, comfort and support that I was looking for. All. Under. Two. Minutes. Let these 2 minutes also change your life, like it did mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2xTpFwCEfM I immediately went to https://www.liveyourepoch.com/ and contacted the number on it. I had all my questions (areas, living spaces, safety, traffic, tips, even the best dog care for a cat owner... you name it) answered over the phone within a few hours from the CEO of the company himself, Aaron Gill. I really valued how he prioritized my questions regarding Chicago and addressed my concerns before getting to any specifics regarding my move! Quicker than I could book a flight to go visit apartments, I had great options at my fingertips from Aaron with ALL my must haves (heated garage, cat friendly carpet and wood floors, large windows, quiet environment, gym accessible from indoors, a specific view, washer and dryer within the unit, walking distance to certain types of stores, under 2 miles to Navy Pier and Millennium Park, a walk-in closet of a certain size at the minimum, and more) in area that was safe and possibly within my narrow price range. Within less than two weeks of time, Aaron found me a unit, below my budget, with more than my wish list, and pictures available of the actual unit I would move into. I moved to Chicago without visiting the city or seeing my apartment, as I had full confidence in the skill and individualized attention that EPOCH offered. I can not express how much at home I feel in my comfortable unit in a city that was completely foreign to me a month ago. The personal connection this company makes with a client is unparalleled, and the prompt replies, specific answers, attention to details, and literally being two steps ahead (a fitting welcome to Chicago and the hustle) were all bonuses! Not only did I feel EPOCH was a great real estate company, but also a company centered around positive vibes. EPOCH made it very clear that no matter the height of the high-rise, or the difficulty of the task, the company would bring success by taking the stairs over an elevator, if it meant making the client's dream home a reality. And most of all, this company's personal and pure approach truly values happiness and healthy lifestyles in a living space conducive to each client. If I had to describe the company EPOCH one word? Just like it sounds... Epic. EPIC. EPIC!!! read more

Stephanie is by far my #1 recommendation for a broker in Chicago. I was moving from Los Angeles to Chicago and from the beginning, about 4 months out from my move (even though it was way too early to begin searching for apartments), Stephanie took the time to discuss my needs and wants in a place. She then sent me some options which all fit within my parameters. I was working with a couple of other brokers at the time who kept sending me options that were so far off my list they didn't make sense! She then later followed up about a month before and proceeded to plan multiple showings. She even went on two showings by herself and took videos of the places for me when I couldn't attend! She tirelessly searched for us and we finally found an amazing spot! Overall, we loved her transparency, willingness to help and no nonsense attitude! You're in amazing hands with this boss! read more

After crashing on a friend's couch for 2 weeks before landing a job here in Chicago, I was in desperate need to find a place to live that: 1. Fit my budget 2. Was located close to my job and public transportation 3. And was in an area that I could grow into It was very stressful and chaotic as I was trying to transition from Cleveland to Chicago without virtually a single contact, and not having anyone to help me navigate or give me any sense of "what's what" in the city. That's when I met Stephanie, she came right in and gave me a sense of relief and security that I would be able to find a place to live and move in all before starting at my new job, which was rapidly approaching. She picked up on the first call, and instantly began working on my behalf, not even 2 hours later she was ready to meet, had multiple locations ready for me to tour, within my budget, and in great neighborhoods. She was able to meet me that very day and tour some places. Her timing couldn't have been more perfect. She found me an apt, on the penthouse floor of a new building, at the same pricing as the regular units. Needless to say I was absolutely thrilled about the building, the location, and all the amenities near by. Prompt, polite, and professional. Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with, and if you meet her in person you will understand right away that she is super passionate about making sure you find the spot that fits you best. I can't say enough good things about my experience, really felt like a warm welcome to Chicago. Thank you Stephanie and the team at Epoch! read more

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! I reached out to her about a certain listing and in less than 12 hours we were talking on the phone. She is very responsive and truly listens to your wants. Within 24 hours she had listings for me and hit everything we wanted on the head. Stephanie is so helpful and made the whole experience of us looking for our first apartment so easy and fun. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone. Thank you Steph!!! read more

I was living in Florida and was moving to Chicago within the month and needed to find an apartment. I contacted many real estate services and Aaron at Epoch was the first to get back to me over the phone- not email (like the other people). He asked me a ton of questions to try to find the perfect place for me, unlike the other agents that got back to me. All the other agents would just send me a list that they have without looking at my "requirements" or giving me any other details than the 3 pictures that most of their listings had. Aaron was nothing like that. He would give me his real opinion of the neighborhoods and anything he knew that only a person living in Chicago would know. He wasn't just trying to get a sale. He was being very honest with me which was what I appreciated the most. He was also more than willing to work around my work schedule to talk and help me find a place. It was about 7pm when we were on the phone and he found the PERFECT place! I thought he was messing with me because it was just SPOT ON with what I was hoping for. No other person would have found this place and gotten me such a KILLER deal! There were also only 3 apartments left so the decision had to be made quick! He said that first thing the following morning he was going to the apartment and do a facetime to show it to me. It was just amazing. He was so helpful and fast paced. He also helped me with a ton of random questions I had about living downtown Chicago that I was embarrassed of asking but he made me feel very comfortable and made my move feel less stressful. I would recommend him and his company in a heart beat to anyone moving here. If it hadn't been for him, I know for a fact I would not be loving the apartment I would have ended up at. I love my apartment and I would have never found it if it wasn't for him! So thank you! read more

Aaron was fantastic! He kept great communication and was able to help me find a unit that was no where to be found online. I was in a major time crunch and he took the initiative to tour the apartment and send real time photos/video to me. I would completely work with him again - thank you! read more

I had the best experience working with Stephanie! She helped me find exactly what I needed ASAP. She treated me like family and felt she had my best interests at heart! read more

It took one visit to Chi-town to fall instantly in love with the city. Currently living in LA and my lease was about to end I decided to make the move to Chicago and start an exciting new chapter in my life. As I knew nothing about where to even start looking for an apartment, a friend of mine put me in touch with Stephanie. Not only did Stephanie personally call me the minute she heard I wanted to move, but she asked me everything that I was looking and wanting for my new apartment. Stephanie was so passionate and so quick about sending me different options, quotes, and within two days she found me the perfect building with exactly everything I was looking for. She was in constant communication with me throughout the application process and always offered a helping hand. Her passion for what she does pours through her work as well as her love for the city that she lives in. I couldn't have done this move without her help and would recommend her to everyone looking to move to the Chicago area! read more

My roommate and I were looking to move from Wicker Park closer to downtown Chicago. Aaron was so accommodating and really made sure our best interests were a priority. He made the process of finding a great apartment easy. He was knowledgeable about the space and overall great to work with. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. read more

Stephanie made home hunting a fun and fulfilling experience. She quite obviously knows her stuff, is super patient (I lost count of how many times I asked her to show me the same apts over and over again!), and radiates a love for what she does that can only bring a smile to your face. The next time I move, she'll be the person I call. read more

I worked with Malcolm, and he was fantastic. I was moving 9 hours from home with no real knowledge of Chicago. He showed me a wide range of options (pricing, amenities, floor plans), so it allowed me to compare each one easier. I don't think I really knew what I was looking for until we sat down and discussed each one and what I actually wanted out of an apartment. He also took pictures of the apartments while we were viewing and sent the pictures to me (so helpful because I forgot to take some photos). He followed up promptly and overall just listened to my back-and-forth between complexes as well as made his own calls to the apartments for me. I am so pleased with the options he chose to show me, and I'll definitely work with Epoch again if I'm ever in search of a new home. read more

it was a pleasure to meet with Aaron and find an apartment just an hour.
