As a Lake Forest and North Shore luxury home specialist, Christine Ashmore

creates real estate success for her clients!

 

My goal is for clients to be truly thrilled with their home buying or selling experience. For sellers, I will effectively market their home for a quick sale, as well as educate them on the best scenario for success in terms of market conditions. For buyers, it is my job to help them make a well-informed, well-planned purchase. Helping clients achieve their goals on either side of the real estate transaction is truly rewarding to me, and I am honored to be a part of the process.

Connecting with people is very important.  Christine enjoys bringing people together.

Her life's dream movie (not starring Julia Roberts) would be entitled, Eat Tour Enjoy!

A longtime resident of Lake Forest and the North Shore, Christine enjoys quality family time with her husband and three active teenaged children, biking, skiing, and staying fit. She enjoys long walks with her dog, Bailey, through the Lake Forest Open Lands.  The experience renews her soul every time.  She loves nature and being close to it.
