Who I Am

Vicki Deane is the greatest!!! She staged our home beautifully!! The listing photos and videos showed the house and gardens to their best advantage. She was market-savvy and priced our home in the "sweet spot" allowing us to get a full-price offer in just four days. Vicki was a calm, guiding presence throughout the process. Her speedy responses and sage advice gave us confidence and reassurance as she helped us navigate all the stresses of selling and moving. We are grateful for her professionalism, creativity, and expertise!! Many, many thanks!!! Kevin and Linda O'Neill Linda O'Neill

We've worked with Vicki Deane twice now - the first time she represented the sellers and while we were the buyers, we were so impressed with her responsiveness, fairness, and ability to work through things to a positive result, we hired to then represent us as buyers. She helped us navigate some uncharted real estate territory and ultimately helped us find the perfect house. We highly recommend working with Vicki, whichever end of the transaction you're on. C G

We were looking for a particular home in a particular location. The search took years. Vicki was with us the whole way -- always positive and encouraging, but never pushy. We finally found a great home in a perfect location -- thanks to Vicki. She is a great realtor and a delightful person. We highly recommend her. Jan Miller

It is a pleasure to be able to recommend Vicki Deane, who we feel is an exceptional real estate broker. We were fortunate to have worked with Vicki over this past spring as we looked to purchase our first home in Illinois. As a family moving from California to Geneva, it was key in our home search that we had an experienced, honest and professional real estate broker to guide us through our purchase. Vicki has impeccable work ethic, honesty and is someone who possesses a sincere desire to deliver exactly what her clients are searching for. Vicki worked with us months before we were actively searching the market. She met with us to discuss our budget and to develop a clear understanding of what we were looking for in a home. While we waited for our house to sell in California, Vicki even helped our parents, who were also new to the area, find a perfect rental for their move to St. Charles. Once our California home sold, Vicki was prepared and ready to show us properties that fit our needs. Through Vicki’s experience and networking within the market, she positioned us to be the first to visit and make an offer on our dream home. I would recommend Vicki to friends and family and truly feel fortunate to have had her by our side during this process. Most sincerely, R/A Walton

We had an amazing experience working with Vicki as our realtor! From start to finish, she made the process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Vicki walked us through every step, ensuring we were informed and confident in our decisions. She was transparent, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. What truly set Vicki apart was her ability to anticipate our needs. She provided fantastic recommendations for companies to handle immediate renovations and other services, which made transitioning into our new home seamless. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients were evident throughout the entire process. We can’t recommend Vicki enough—if you’re looking for someone to guide you through buying or selling a home with ease, she’s the one to call! Brad Kuhter

Vicki was amazing in help us find our first home! She is patient and really listened to what we wanted. If you are looking for a realtor, she is it! Holly

Vicki is fantastic! Couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. She treats you like one of her own. She’s honest and very caring. Will be recommending Vicki to everyone I come across that’s looking for the best realtor there is. Thanks for everything, Vicki!! Carl

We had the pleasure of working with Vicki for our first home purchase. Not only was she attentive to our wants/needs, but she also got us to expand our comfort zone a little bit and find our forever home. Anyone who gets the chance to work with Vicki is lucky, as she will provide top notch service and support! Joshua Donn

Vicki understood the needs I had to sell quickly and we cleaned and staged being listed for 3 day and an open house we got 6 offers, with 4 offers over list price. Every step of the selling process was laid out and I knew what to expect. I would recommend Vicki to anyone. Brian Torrence

Downsizing and selling a house is a process, and having a knowledgeable person like Vicki Deane to guide you through the journey is invaluable. Vicki and I began working together two years before I actually moved. She helped me map out the trip so that I could avoid some pitfalls. Her ability to read and interpret the market set me on the right course. Having a travel companion who knows what you are experiencing is priceless. I strongly recommend Vicki as that trustworthy guide and companion for downsizing and selling your house. Jean Pierce

If you're looking for a smooth home buying experience, look no further. Vicki Dean and her team were amazing to work with. She explained every step and made a stressful experience really enjoyable. Her team was dedicated throughout the process and fought to the very end to get us the best rate we could get. Christina Harrington

Vicki took time to genuinely learn about our family, our lifestyle and our aspirations for years to come. By engaging these conversations we felt confident with this major decision. Looking back, we wish we could have done more business with her. Through the search, offering, negotiations and beyond she’s offered enough space for us to make a decision and insight when asked. Selfishly, we closed on a home in her community and have come to find her as a friend. Thank you. Jared Fedota

On October 17, I contracted to buy a house in Michigan. I promptly signed up with Vicki to list and sell my house in St. Charles, but worried I was starting too late to sell it before the winter lull. Vicki got it done. She advised me how best to stage the house; recommended a price that was aggressive, but not overly so; and held open houses three straight weekends. Within five weeks of listing, I had a reasonable offer, which she negotiated into a better one. I moved into my new house before all of my buyers' inspection issues had been addressed, but Vicki stepped up. She found contractors; let them into the house; and oversaw their work. Finally, she shot over to the house and solved the problem when my buyers had a melt-down during their closing day inspection. Thanks to Vicki, I got a quick sale and good price with relatively little stress. Plus, she’s a nice person and fun to work with. I recommend her highly. David Hicks

Vicky Deanne has represented us as both buyers and sellers in three separate transactions. From start to finish we felt we were in the hands of a true professional who put our interest first. We would highly recommend Vicky and will certainly use her for any future real estate dealings. Kavin Johnson

Vicki was absolutely terrific. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable. She helped us both sell our house and buy a new house, and thanks to her both experiences were terrific. Dave B

An excellent experience. I would gladly have Vicki represent me as a broker again! Angela Cameron

Vicki was very attentive throughout the process, giving good suggestions and direction. She delivered exactly what she told us would happen regarding showings and offers. We are closing for a number well above our list price due in no small part to Vicki managing our sale. Richard N

I highly recommend using Vicki to buy or sell your home. We have done both with her, and she’s been fantastic both times. She’s a strong negotiator, happy to go to bat for you & not afraid to lend a hand when things get tough. We recently sold a home with her and moved out of state after the inspection was completed. When our sale went from smooth to more complex with some repairs needed & appraisal issues, Vicki jumped right in to help coordinate repairs, sell furniture for us & even sweep the floors for the final walkthrough. Vicki will be there for you from start to finish and give you all the support she can to help your home sell quickly & for the best price. She helped with suggestions, a stager and checked in on us along the way. Hire Vicki; you won’t be disappointed. Becka

"Vicki was amazing to work with throughout the process. Her expertise and guidance was invaluable. I always felt well informed and in control. Vicki’s knowledge of the area and history of neighborhoods and homes was very helpful." wbarthel 2020

"Vicki was recommended to me by a neighbor, after I had already interviewed three other area realtors. It was a good recommendation as we clicked immediately and the rest is history. Vicki quickly & professionally marketed my home and had it under contract within just 9 days." jhoekstra 2020

"Best decision we made. Vicki helped us through the entire process of preparing our home, marketing, negotiating, selling, moving and closing. After being in our home 32 years, Vicki kindly and sensitively kept us on track to sell quickly and profitably. Her advice and personal service were exceptional. Then she found us a great rental. Even when the world turned upside down during the Covid crisis Vicki never missed a step. Vicki Deane is the only Real Estate Professional I would recommend." brown 2020

"Vicki helped us prep for an upcoming home sale and she was fantastic! I would highly recommend contacting her well before you sell. She can provide amazing expertise before as well as during your sale." anderson 2019

Vicki was a fantastic recommendation to us from our mortgage broker. From the first meeting with Vicki, we felt comfortable with her and got along great. As first time home buyers, we needed a true expert that could help us through the entire process and Vicki is just that. She is warm and thoughtful and found us a great house! We would love to work with her again in the future if and when the time comes. Andrew O

Our experience with Vicki Deane was excellent from start to finish! Vicki is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the whole real estate process. Communication is important to us and Vicki goes above and beyond! We had a very short time to find a new house and Vicki was dedicated to help us find the new place we would call home! Harry Steven Meliotes

It is very clear that Vicki loves what she does - she is truly committed to her clients wants and needs. She establishes and maintains a trusting partnership, and is by your side during the entire process of buying a home. She puts you at ease with her incredible knowledge of the market and industry. A true professional that I highly recommend! Tracy M

Vicki was outstanding. Great support to get our home ready to show and great insight on pricing that resulted in us getting top dollar and a quick sale. Bruce Crown

I've worked with Vicki on numerous real estate purchases and I highly recommend her services. She truly focuses on offering a level of customer service you rarely see in a highly transnational environment. She is an exceptional option for individuals or families looking to buy or sell real estate! Phil B

Have used Vicki on numerous occasions and will continue to do so in the future. Wonderful at negotiations and communication. She really helped turn our dreams into a reality! Breanne M

Vicki was fantastic! She put us in our dream home. She helped with every step of the way, highly recommended! Aaron V

Vicki worked exceptionally hard to sell our house and did a fantastic job both staging it as well as walking though the sale. I'd HIGHLY recommend Vicki to anyone selling or even considering selling their home. Eric A

Vicki made selling our home easy. She was by our side the entire time. Vicki makes sure your house is ready for the market to get the best value! She will put in countless hours personally helping to make the process of selling and buying stress free. Additionally and most importantly, Vicki is honest. If you are looking to buy or sell, I would highly recommend Vicki Deane! Cindy G

With so many realtors to choose from, you want to make certain that you are dealing with someone who is knowledgeable, reputable and willing to take to understand your needs and deliver the service that you need. Whether you are buying a new home or looking to sell the one you currently have, you cannot go wrong working with Vicki Deane at Baird and Warner. She is a pleasure to work with and a true professional. Don;t try to do it yourself, call Vicki today. I highly recommend. David D

"Vicki was amazing! She helped us through having to sell our house twice! She even brings in a stagger to help you set up your house so that it sells quickly and for the most money! She is current and knowledgeable about housing prices and knows how to negotiate so that you get your home. She helped us get our dream house when there were 4 other offers! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!"heather8519700 Thompson Ave, North Aurora, IL 60542 Heather C

Recommended Vicki to some friends who were looking to sell their home. She took the time to sit down with them and get their home ready for market while also helping them to find a new home. They have had nothing but good things to say about the experience and Vicki. She is who I would want to sell my home. Wade Thompson

As senior citizens ready to downsize, the thought of selling our home after 26 years seemed like an overwhelming task, and we quickly learned that we were ill-prepared. Fortunately, we found ourselves in very good hands with Vicki Deane, our Baird & Warner realtor. Not only is her knowledge about the market and the selling process extensive, her network is extraordinary. Her recommendations for staging, legal advice, inspections, remediation experts, movers, and financing experts meant that we could focus on the challenge of packing. At the same time, she worked tirelessly to help us find a new home that not only exceeded all our expectations but that closed ahead of our target deadline. She is a true professional with an enthusiasm for her work that is both infectious and sincere. Vicki was so much more than our realtor; she became a very special friend that we highly recommend without hesitation. The Russell's 2018 The Russell's

"From start to finish of our home buying process Vicki was outstanding! She was always available with questions we had and we constantly added on homes to tour and she was so accommodating even adding on homes for us to view the day of our site visits. She would point out things in the home we didn’t notice and make recommendations on the area or the layout or the lot size, etc as she was so knowledgeable about everything and would be able to tell walking in if it was or wasn’t a good fit for us. I can’t say enough great things about our time with her! She became like family and even though she found us our house and we just moved in, we actually miss our site tours with her! :)" K McNamara 8/2018 Kim Mac Namara

For the past year, I have had the distinct pleasure to get to know and work with Vicki Deane. Vicki is among the best residential real estate brokers in the greater Fox Valley region. I have been impressed with her knowledge of the market, her skill in helping her clients showcase their homes, and her approach to working with her clients. Vicki is knowledgeable, personable, tenacious, flexible and does what she says she will do. When looking to buy or sell your home, you are in great hands with Vicki Deane! Michael Shoultz

"Vicki is an excellent broker. I would refer her to anyone! She sold our home SO fast and helped us find the perfect home for our growing family. She is very knowledgeable about the market and her skills and passion for real estate are apparent. She demonstrates the utmost respect for her clients as evidenced by her genuineness and honesty. We couldn't have imagined going through this stressful process without her."3016 Langston Cir, St Charles, IL 60175 M Harms

"We had a serendipitous introduction to Vicki while we started our search in Geneva, IL at a great local deli (Deane's Deli). Within a few minutes my fiance and myself were convinced that Vicki was the person we wanted to work with to buy our first home. Vicki was extremely knowledgeable about the local neighborhoods and steered us in the correct direction from the get go. She was very patient throughout the process, understanding our needs of a growing family, lifestyle and financial budget. She was an absolute joy to visit the different potential places in Geneva, St. Charles and Batavia, provided mature insight for the family, was never pushy and was always very kind and responsive. The thing we really appreciate in Vicki is that she prevented us from buying estate that were not in good locations or might not have had great resale when and if we decided to do so. Thanks Vicki! She was reasonable in negotiating fair values and ensured that we did not get into unwanted bidding wars, making the process amicable and smooth. At times, she advocated against our offer price, to prevent loss of important deals for amounts that might end up being negligible in the long run. I think this is the fine balance a realtor has to play to understand the family's standing, opportunity and hold potential. We eventually locked into a house we love and fits our needs perfectly. We highly recommend Vicki Deane!"TilakJain748 Tanager Ln, Geneva, IL 60134 N/A

"Looking for someone to give you an honest opinion as to what needs to be done to sell and what price to sell it at? Vicki fills both those requirements. She is passionate and seems to have an unending amount of energy to dedicate to the sale of your house."Flippin Wille1306 W Illinois Ave, Aurora, IL 60506 N/A

"Vicki was amazing from the very beginning until after we bought our first home and moved in. She sat down with us and helped narrow down what areas we were interested in. She was able to pull homes that fit our needs and had home tours scheduled quickly. She was very knowledgeable of the area and similar homes that had sold. Once we found our perfect house, Vicki walked us through every step and was always available to answer questions. We were extremely happy with our experience working with Vicki and would highly recommend her!"user960463317 Brian St, Sycamore, IL 60178 N/A

Vicki truly helped walk us through the very daunting task of moving - while listening to our needs & keeping them in mind every step of the way. She provided lots of choices - and insights - that helped us zero in on our top priorities. So very patient, never pushy, always taking the time to answer every question we had - and there were many! Vicki stayed in touch with us all the time - by phone, text or email. Speedy replies every time, and always available to us. Vicki carefully explained the entire process to us, making sure we understood each step, and kept us motivated & encouraged. And we always felt like she was looking out for us, keeping our best interests at heart. We were lucky enough to have made our move in the time frame we'd hoped for, too. Thanks to Vicki Deane! It's really hard to imagine having done this without her!! Cathy Perillo

Vicki was excellent and professional. She was honest in bringing information to us and was a good communicator. We felt that she provided good coverage of our property to potential buyers. However, the sales process as it exists is seriously flawed. Our agent was not able to participate in the sale of the house. Agents from other companies and from different towns showed our home when they knew nothing about the home nor the Geneva community. We found out too late in the process that at least one buyer bid on our home and was not pre-qualified by their lending institution. This should have been cleared by their broker. This was bad enough, but the process that the banking community uses to appraise property should be investigated by the State of Illinois Attorney General. We received an appraisal from one lender and another appraisal from a second. These appraisals were $21,000 apart. Unfortunately, we were forced to accept the lower of the two appraisals or put our property back on the market. This was after we had already purchased property elsewhere. Your industry is seriously suspect from an ethical perspective and I urge you to take these practices up with your industry associations before the government does it for you. Karen Hattan

Vicki was a great realtor!! She was so patient with us in our long search for our first home. We made offers on a short sale and regular sale that both didn't work out. Vicki was so helpful in guiding us through making an offer on both houses and helping us continue the search when each offer fell through. Vicki worked with us for 5 months before we found a home, but it was all worth it! She helped us find an absolutely perfect house for us! Third time was the charm! Vicki is patient, quick to respond, kind, and invested! Becka Butler Becka Butler

Working with Vicki was like working with your best friend! She was patient and understanding, but honest and professional. Vicki set a realistic plan that met our needs and made the entire listing process a delight! If personalized attention is what you crave, working with Vicki is a must do.

I can't say enough nice things about Vicki Deane and her team at Baird Warner. Without them I would still be looking for a home. Since I was a first time home buyer they helped me to make sure all the red flags that could stop me from buying a house were eliminated. I had a pretty long wish list of must haves that could not be compromised and the homes they showed me hit the nail on the head. Thanks again to the multitude of services available under one roof closing was quick and painless. I would recommend Vicki and Baird Warner to anyone buying/selling a home they simply are the best. Sincerely M. Dant M. Dant

I know that when the time comes to sell our home, Vicki Deane will be the person we go to. I recently asked Vicki to help me with a project in my home. I went to Vicki because she has such wonderful taste and a very creative eye. Vicki really listens to what you want and gets a sense of what you are trying to achieve. One of the best things about Vicki is that she gets as excited about your new project as you are. She is one of the most hard working and enthusiastic people I know. Laura Wenokur

The point I am trying to make is that Vicki is not just another person selling a house. Not only has she lived in the Fox Valley region for many years, and not only has she been active in the community, but Vicki understands a good house, and a good buy, when she sees one. About two years ago, I decided to gut and re-do 3 bathrooms in my home. I am a working husband with an ill wife. I needed assistance with 3 different design ideas. I needed assistance in knowing what would work. What is available. Tile, sinks, vanities, showers, flooring, tile, paint, even accessories together. Vicki ended up doing for me was to bring, to the home, several different design ideas for me to ultimately choose. She did all the footwork. And then, once I chose the builder, Vicki took it a step further and became the liason between the general contractor, the labor force, and me. She understood costs. What is too expensive or what is not good enough. What would fit. What would work. Not only did she measure and calculate, but she got her hands dirty and did some of the actual work. And the whole time, she did this with a smile on her face and no stress. NJ Knights NJ Knights
