Thank you for visiting my page! I am Dennis Maakestad, a Realtor with Century 21 Affiliated in DeKalb, IL. I've been a Realtor in DeKalb County since 1980 and hope I can put my years of experience to work for you!! A bit of my history: I grew up in Dixon, IL and then came to DeKalb to attend NIU. After graduating from NIU with a business degree in 1973, I knew in my heart that I really wanted to teach so I returned to NIU and did some graduate work in education along with my student teaching. In 1974 I earned my teaching certification from the state of Illinois and was hired to teach in the middle grades at Kings, IL. I loved teaching, but felt a need to supplement my income and have a good job for the summer months so I took real estate classes and became licensed as a Realtor in 1980. Since 1980, I've worked with hundreds of buyers and sellers. I've also invested in income properties in DeKalb and Sycamore and found that to be another way to supplement my income. Both teaching and real estate have been very rewarding careers and I feel I did both well for many years. I retired from teaching in 2007 and am now devoted to real estate full time. For many years I've been active in the DeKalb community with my church and the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. I've worked locally and also traveled in the U.S. and around the world to help build Habitat homes. I'm currently on the board of directors for Barb City Manor. I am proud to be a member of the Century 21 Affiliated team. We are among the most successful real estate offices in DeKalb County. In 2008, my first full time year in real estate, I was the Number 2 agent in our Century 21 Affiliated company of over twenty agents. In the years since then I've consistently been a top producer, being #1 in 2013 and 2016. I have been a multi million dollar producer for many years. I have many happy clients to thank for that success! Over the years I have built a client base of satisfied customers who provide me with referrals and call-backs each year. Whether you're looking to sell or to buy real estate, I hope I'll be able to add you as another satisfied client this year. With Century 21 I belong to a huge network of professionals who take pride in what they do and specialize in providing a variety of superior real estate services to local communities around the world. Understanding your personal goals and needs is at the heart of my dedication to you. I look forward to discussing your real estate needs with you.

Dennis was my 4th Grade teacher so he made it very easy for me to learn how to buy my first house. Buying a house can and could be very stressful but Dennis was there every step of the way every curve ball for every anxious feeling I had about any situation. Dennis has been the most helpful realestate agent i think I will ever work with. Its been a real pleasure doing buisness with Dennis!

It was very important to us that we find an agent that was knowledgeable about the market, experienced, and would be honest with us. From our very first interaction, Dennis impressed us on all these counts. July 2021
His marketing was top-notch, with amazing pictures and the perfect write-up. I think a testament to this is the slew of interest and showing appointments we had within the first hour of it being on the market. We had multiple offers in the first 12 hours, and we sold for well above asking. The sale process was smooth and seamless all the way through closing.
Dennis was so friendly and kind, courteous, and very timely. We appreciate how available he was to help us with our crazy schedule.
So happy with the way the sale went! We would highly recommend Dennis to anyone looking for a fantastic realtor!!

We knew we would be moving back to Wisconsin after my retirement, so my wife and I had been looking at local realtors and their presence in DeKalb and their listing/sales statuses for a couple of years. Dennis always seeming to be leading the "pack", plus we both belong to the same church. With all of the factors involved, it was very clear that Dennis should be our realtor!August 2019
Dennis went "all-out" in order to have our home sell quickly, and at a fair market value. The use of a "staging" person we feel was critical to the sale in 11 days after going active. Dennis did everything correctly, and was clearly a professional realtor with high morals. His knowledge of the market area was of great help to list and sell the home for maximum price. He fully explained all aspects involved in the listing and selling of our home. We enjoyed the business relationship that developed between the three of us, and will recommend Dennis to others in need of a realtor.
My wife and I believe that there isn't a better person/realtor within the realtor "world"!
Dennis Maakestad was excellent in every aspect! We couldn't have been happier with the whole process from our first visit with Dennis, to the closing on the sale of our home. Everything went so fast and smooth - which was not by accident - Dennis handled all of the details without errors or omissions.

This is my second time using Dennis. I used him to purchase a home 4 years and now to sell that home. From start to finish Dennis was excellent to work with. He provided us with a home decorator to give suggestions on things to improve before we listed. We took that advise and after only a few days on the market we had multiple offers. Throughout the rest of process and all the way through closing Dennis kept up informed and was easy to work with.

To be able to sell property in 2 weeks is a rarity in my lifetime and selling for more than purchase price is phenomenal. Dennis went above and beyond helping to get rid of some furniture we no longer had use or space for. When the first offer came and it was way too low, we were encouraged to hold out for a better offer. We had more traffic through the townhouse in 2 weeks than I've ever had trying to sell any home before.July 2018
Quick and easy with a cash closing. Dennis had good suggestions for improvements to be considered wth the property and an attorney for closing.
I would highly recommend Dennis to assist with sale or purchase.

Dennis is always on top of his "game". He is quick to respond to emails and texts. I felt we were dealing with somewhat of an unpleasant buyer, yet he remained calm and extremely helpful in helping us to follow this sale down to the last day, doing many things on his own to help in the completion of the sale. I would recommend Dennis anytime, to anyone. He even went to the property himself the night before, due to text messages from the perspective buyer, and arranged and paid for an issue that he thought was important to the complete the sale. Very seasoned, patient, and generous. Thanks Dennis. One down, one to go. He is a great asset to Century 21.

He also brought over printed marketing plans and very helpful information about listing with him and was mindful of our time during that first meeting. After listing, I had an offer in ONE day!! Dennis was also invaluable when it came to taking care of inspection items. We would not have been able to close on time without his hard work helping to address inspection items.

I knew from the beginning that the sale of my property would require finding the buyer who would appreciate the unique aspects of it. House size, location, attached business, and a historical building focused the interest down to a select demographic. I anticipated a long wait for the right buyer. If ever there was a person created to be a strong and steady rock to stand on during a time like this, it would be Dennis Maakestad. I always felt connected to his abilities to get the job done. He did everything, even expanding his advertising territory, to find that right person. A large part of this process was the education I received from Dennis. In a very gentle manner, and using many comparing properties as examples, I learned that what your property is appraised for doesn't necessarily line up with what the local market is willing to pay for it. There was nothing Dennis could have changed about that, but he was essential to contributing to my acceptance of that. September 2017
I know this is not the typical (we sold the house three days for over the asking price) testimonial. This is a testimonial written after a long journey, where you back and are grateful for the person who walked every step of the way with you. From the heart, thank you Dennis.

Dennis Maakestad was very patient, and really helped my wife and myself through the home buying process. He was always attentive to answer any questions we might have, which really helped us as first time home buyers. I would highly recommend Dennis as a realtor to others, especially given his knowledge of the DeKalb-Sycamore real estate market. By the time we finally made an offer on a house, we felt very comfortable that we made a good decision and were paying fair market value for the property.August 2017
Dennis was a joy to work with, and took a great deal of his own personal time to help us and make sure we got into the right house. He in fact responded to a phone call and got a house tour scheduled for us while he was on holiday! He was also very gracious and patient with us, especially since it took a little while for us to find the right house.

I was not disappointed, and often quite surprised, by all that he did! His recommendations for some presentation changes were spot-on. He even went way out of his way to help with removing some large items I needed to get rid of but had no place to store. A+ service!

We contacted Dennis Maakestad about one house we were interested in that he happened to be selling. We provided him with a list of 5-6 places and he let us know he would be more then happy to show us all of the houses on our list and had such a flexible schedule. That is when we knew Dennis would be our guy.July 2016
Dennis was extremely knowledgable and was able to give us tons of information on each step of the process. He would tell us what was going on and then break it down in a way that was easy for us to understand. He was extremely patient and kind and had our best interest at heart.
Dennis was beyond perfect when it came to buying a house. We went into this knowing nothing and he made sure that we knew exactly what we were doing each step of the way. He was incredibly friendly and so easy to trust. He is truly an amazing person and he does his job so much better then anybody else I've heard of. He made this process extremely easy and you can tell he genuinely enjoys his job.
Overall, Dennis was the best person for the job. He made buying our house incredibly pleasurable and made sure we knew exactly what was going on at all times. He always got back to us right away and his schedule was so flexible that we were always able to meet up whenever it was convenient for us. He went above and beyond any expectation and I have so much faith that as long as he is around he is the only broker that I will be buying/selling from. Dennis made this entire process so easy and it really felt like he was just as excited as we were. His job is not just a job to him. You could tell he cared about us as people and he was so happy for us. He has made our dreams come true and so quickly at that. Dennis Maakestad is your go to guy.

What more can I say. Dennis is a fantastic gentleman!September 2015
It was very easy and took no time deciding where to go and to select the Century 21 broker for selling my house. My son asked me if I knew any Realtors in DeKalb and I immediately told him about Dennis. So Dennis sold my sons house several years ago, and in June this year he sold my house in record time! Only 10 days on the market! Not only is Dennis personable and courteous but he definitely went over and above his job description on both sales. He was so helpful in so many ways dealing with so many unexpected things that arose on both sales. If there were things needing repair, painting, etc., he was able to supply names to contact to do the work, and even did some things himself. I would highly recommend Dennis to anyone knowing they would be receiving the best possible service available. I have known Dennis for many years and he is the BEST! I do miss seeing him in Church and he is a very strong and dedicated Christian. I could go on an on about all the community work and so many committees he is on, therefore his personality really shines through also at Century21. Need a Realtor? Call Dennis Maakestad.
I was just very pleased and so surprised at how fast my house was sold.. Dennis gave me a lot of good tips on what to do inside the house to make it more eye appealing He did an excellent job on the 2 or3 house showings that were done, and then bingo; Sold.
Absolutely Fantastic.Dennis found ways to discard and get rid of many things I could never have done without his help. I would very highly recommend him to anyone knowing that I was sending them to a very honest and professional broker. His years of experience are full of little tips to help on selling your house.

Being a first time home buyer is quite a frightening experience. Start to finish Dennis Maakestad was top notch in helping me along the way. He was very knowledgeable when it came to looking at the actually home, and even more so when it came time for closing. Even through some bumps with the finance company we both made it out alive.

Dennis's attention to detail for my wants and needs in a home were never overlooked. He was professional and understanding of my concerns and worked diligently with me and the selling agent to make sure the sale went through as smoothly as possible. Other buyers/sellers would be lucky to be represented by Mr. Maakestad, because I know they will not be pushed into something they do not want and will always get the full disclosure, regardless.

Dennis was more than we could have asked for in a realtor. He went above the call and really made us feel at home in our new town. He made the selling process so easy. He was on top of all that needed to be completed. I have made recommendations to use him as a realtor and would continue to do so if I know anyone moving to the DeKalb area.
