In the luxury market, Suzanne Gignilliat has been a top seller since day one. When you hire Suzanne, you get an award-winning, discreet, patient, tenacious realtor with a true passion for helping her clients find the property of their dreams in Chicago's North Side neighborhoods. With over 30 years of experience and a clientele full of referrals and repeat customers, Suzanne is the best of the best. Whether it's a condo purchase or a multi-million-dollar home sale, she's the calm in the emotional business of buying or selling a home.

When you choose to work with Suzanne, you are choosing a realtor who is present, engaged and involved with both buyers and sellers. Clients work with her and a group of highly experienced, trusted associates, trained by Suzanne throughout the years, that bring their own expertise, personality, and characteristics to the table to create the smoothest transaction possible each time. She won't pass you off to a revolving door of junior agents to show your home, rather, she collaborates with her associates to ensure that behind each and every listing, there is the highest level of expertise, no matter the neighborhood. From marketing and processing through the final administration tasks, her full-time administrative staff goes above and beyond to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Although specializing in high-end properties in the Near North Side, Suzanne and her associate's client base is as diverse as the properties they represent - spanning throughout Chicago's culturally rich, welcoming neighborhoods. Looking to buy or sell outside of the city limits? Not a problem! Suzanne has access to referral networks through @properties and Christie's, allowing her to help you buy or sell a home anywhere.

Whether you are a first-time home buyer, looking for a rental, condo, co-op, loft or townhome or you are ready to buy the single-family home of your dreams or pursue a new construction project - Suzanne and her associates will help you find exactly what you are looking for.

Intelligent but approachable, thoughtful and candid, respectful and available, Suzanne lives the Lincoln Park life she sells. She understands historic homes and landmarking and will work side by side with you to make sure your home is presented in the best light.

An urbanite through and through, Suzanne lives with her family on a beautiful tree-lined street in Lincoln Park. She loves architecture, design, and cities - especially Chicago, where she has lived her entire adult life since moving from her suburban, childhood home in Oak Park. Receiving her undergraduate degree from Yale University and masters degree from Northwestern University, Suzanne began her professional career in advertising before finding her love and passion for real estate.

Apart from real estate, Suzanne is an avid participant in her community. She is an engaged Trustee at the Latin School of Chicago, chairing major fundraisers and initiatives, and is on Chicago Yale Club Foundation's Board of Directors. Suzanne engages frequently in local politics and enjoys the many cultural offerings Chicago has to offer, like the Chicago Symphony, Hubbard Street Dance, Steppenwolf, and the Blackhawks. She loves to read and discuss books, and she is a marvelous cook, happiest when entertaining friends and families.

Don't be fooled by her low-key, gracious manner. When it comes to closing a deal, there is a reason Suzanne's associates call her "The Velvet Hammer."
