Lifelong Chicagoan. Compass Broker. Former Social Worker of 20 years. Every stage of life, every kind of move. pop.store/staciyesner I do not take that lightly.
(1)

I help people buy, sell, and move forward at every stage of life, from first time buyers to families ready to rightsize. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. I grew up in Des Plaines, went to school at the University of Kansas where I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Human Development, and came back to Chicago for graduate school. I have two master's degrees, one in Social Work from UIC and one in Educational Leadership from Chicago State University. I am also a licensed clinical social worker. I spent 20 years as a school social worker and special education administrator working across Buffalo Grove, Burbank, Maywood, and Cicero before making the move to real estate in 2015. I brought everything from that career with me. After graduate school I lived in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and Logan Square. I have owned, rented, rehabbed, and sold property. I served on my condo board for years. I have worked in new construction. I know this city and its suburbs from the inside out, not just professionally but personally. I work with renters, first time buyers, people relocating to Chicagoland from anywhere in the world, families upsizing, and people ready to rightsize after decades in the same home. I hold the ABR designation as an Accredited Buyer's Representative, the SRES designation as a Senior Real Estate Specialist, and the CSA designation as a Certified Senior Advisor. Those are not just letters. They represent a real investment in understanding the people I work with at every stage of life. I work at Compass as a solo broker and am a member of Compass Plus, a specialized division of Compass dedicated to helping seniors navigate their next chapter. When you hire me, you get me. I am patient, calm, and steady in stressful situations. That is not a sales pitch. It is just what 20 years in social work looks like in practice. I volunteer at Gilda's Club Chicago and am a former board member of Esperanza Community Services. I am also part of Compass Cares Chicago. Giving back to this city is not something I do on the side. It is part of who I am. Outside of work I am a lifelong Cubs fan, a proud Jayhawk, a Pilates regular, a cook, a traveler, and a dog mom who misses Wrigley every day. If you are looking for someone who will show up for you, ask the right questions, and help you figure out what you actually need, I would love to connect.

Sometimes you do not have to go far to feel like you got away.

These three towns are close and walkable, and each one turns a Saturday into a small trip.

Oak Park is the architecture stop, with Wright’s home and studio, the Unity Temple, and historic homes lining the streets.

La Grange is the downtown stop, with coffee, bookstores, and lunch spots worth lingering over.

Riverside is the river town. Olmsted laid it out as a leafy village, and the river runs right through town.

They are not perfect, and they are not for everyone. But if you want space and charm and a slower pace, and you are not ready to give up the city, they are worth a Saturday.

Which one feels like home?

Most families start with the stairs. That makes sense. But the answer isn’t always a new house. Sometimes it’s a new way of using the one she has.

That first floor office? It can become a bedroom. The basement laundry? It might fit in a main floor closet. A tub can become a walk in shower. A house that worked one way for 40 years can work a different way for the next 10.

So yes, check the bedroom, the laundry, and the bathroom. That’s the easy part.

Then sit down with her and ask how she’s doing with all of this. Not what she’s going to do. How she’s doing.

Sometimes the answer is she can stay with a few changes. Sometimes it’s time to look at options.

Either way, she belongs in the conversation from the very start.

If this is your vibe, you are in the right place.

Every neighborhood here feels a little different, and the fun part is finding yours. That is the honest truth about Chicago: the food spoils you, the L carries you, winter is real, and the taxes need someone who knows the numbers block by block.

People ask me if it is worth it. Chicago rewards people who want a real city with real seasons and real neighbors. I say yes, with the whole honest list attached.

Thinking about moving to Chicago? Comment GUIDE and I will help you find the one that fits.

October had range.

It started with Pilates, a night out with a friend, and a cozy latte. Then Menopause the Musical, and a t-shirt that made me laugh out loud.

A riverwalk with a friend. Showings. A slice of anniversary carrot cake. Dinner at RPM.

Foggy morning drives through the suburbs. And a stranger’s note on my windshield. Someone bumped my license plate and left a handwritten apology with their number. No damage done, proof that good people still exist.

Then the “I voted” sticker, on October 19. Your turn, election day is November 3.

A mural spotted from the car window. Museum afternoons and Anne Frank banners. Fall color by the lake. Sunsets that stopped me in the parking lot. A show under purple lights with a friend.

And a bumper sticker in a parking garage that made me laugh and will not be repeated here. Plus one very over-the-top cookie crumble mocha to end the month.

November, your turn.

A fall morning in Naperville.

Leaves on the walk, sun on the pond out back, and inside, room to spread out. A two-story great room with a fireplace, a kitchen made for gathering, and a primary suite with space to breathe.

Open house today from 11 to 1, rain or shine. Comment INFO and I will send you the details.

Sunday, the clocks fall back and we all get an extra hour. Mine usually disappears on the couch, if I am not working.

This year I am trying something different. One hour, a few small things around the house, before winter really settles in. Nothing big, just the stuff that is easy to forget until it matters.

Swipe through, save it for Sunday, and tell me which one you are tackling first.
