Connie Engel
773.251.3837Your strategic advocate for Chicago home selling and buying, with a specialty in multi-generational solutions.
My professional career began with almost a decade as a litigation attorney, an experience that fundamentally shaped my skills as a strategic negotiator who will fight to protect your interests. With over 25 years in real estate, $350 million in career sales*, and more than 800 clients** successfully guided, I provide the data-driven knowledge you need to make powerful financial decisions.
A Personal Approach to Complex Needs
Navigating the housing market can be stressful in the best of times and can seem overwhelming when caring for both adult children and aging parents. This is a challenge I understand personally and is why I have dedicated part of my practice to creating smart, multi-generational real estate solutions. Whether you are helping an adult child become a first-time home buyer, guiding aging parents through a downsize, or exploring options to co-habitat while maintaining independence, I provide informed guidance based on my own journey and deep research. To better serve this community, I have earned the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) designation.
Deep Chicago Expertise, City & Suburbs
I combine this background with an intimate knowledge of Chicago, splitting my time between my East Lincoln Park and North Center offices. I specialize in neighborhoods including Irving Park, Ravenswood, Avondale, Lincoln Square, North Center, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, West Loop, South Loop, and River North. From city to collar suburbs, I have you covered. My deep community involvement means I can connect you with the best local services and offer an insider's perspective. For suburban moves, I provide trusted referrals through my strong professional network.
How I Deliver Results
As a top broker with @properties, I leverage cutting-edge technology and my extensive network to give buyers access to both on- and off-market properties. For sellers, I deliver phased strategic marketing and precise pricing to achieve top market value swiftly. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my professional standing, including the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS®) and Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) designations, over a decade serving on the Chicago Association of REALTORS® Professional Standards Committee, and my role as a board member for @Gives Back.
Let's Begin Your Journey
If you are thinking about buying or selling, we can start with a discrete, confidential conversation (makes me think we are trying to hid something. What about "…we can start with a casual yet confidential conversation to give you some insights to decide your best next steps".) I offer complimentary market analysis reports for sellers and personalized buyer consultation sessions tailored to your specific needs.
