Claudia Merghes is excited to work with @properties | Christie's International Real Estate, where she will continue to offer the same curated, exemplary service to her clients, and expertly help buyers and sellers realize their real-estate goals.

The key to every successful transaction, is clear communication, proper financial planning and understanding what is a good investment. With a background spanning 18 years of purchasing investment properties and managing rental properties, I have developed a keen sense of what to look for in a home, and work with you to spot an incredible investment opportunity, or spot potential issues before they arise when buying or selling. I truly listen to the wants and needs of my clients. As buying or selling a home is one of the most financially significant and life-altering experiences, I want to ensure that the process is not only as stress-free as possible, but also that you are not forced into something that you will not be thrilled with.

I am energetic, friendly, and determined by nature, and I approach real-estate with these same qualities. I want you to feel at ease knowing that you can comfortably tell me what you like, don't like and are looking for and know I will do everything in my power to see you succeed. I will help you make well-informed decisions based on in-depth market analysis and on-the-ground observation. Additionally, I am a shrewd negotiator, which is invaluable when coming to terms and securing a deal, especially in multiple-offer situations.

I specialize in the village of Lincolnwood, where I currently live, as well as help clients in Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, and the North Suburbs.  I am extremely familiar with the schools and many neighborhoods around Chicagoland, and I can impart first-hand insight into the ins and outs of each city and help you find the perfect place for you and your family.

I grew up in Romania, where I spent my first 3 years of college before moving to Chicago and graduating from The University of Illinois at Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Science in Finance degree. I am Trilingual, speaking Romanian, Hungarian and English. Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time outdoors, volunteering and exploring all Chicagoland has to offer with my husband and two children.
