You need a local expert who truly understands the market, lives in the community, and has your best interests at heart. Meet Helen Oliveri, the broker-owner of Helen Oliveri Real Estate, who has been helping families navigate the Lake County real estate market since 2003. Deep Roots in Lake County, Illinois Helen isn't just another Chicago-area real estate agent who happens to work in Lake County. She has raised her children here, built her homes here, and can personally vouch for the peace and tranquility that Lake County offers with its open land, panoramic views, and beautiful lakes. This authentic connection to the community gives her an unmatched advantage when helping clients understand not just the properties but the lifestyle they're buying into. "I wanted to be in an industry where I could help people," Helen explains. "Lake County is where I've built my life, and I love sharing what makes this area so special with families looking to call it home." Unmatched Expertise in Luxury Homes and Golf Course Communities With almost $1 Billion in sales volume and over 3,000 transactions, Helen has established herself as the go-to expert for luxury real estate and golf course community homes throughout Lake County and the greater Chicago suburbs. Her specialization includes: o Luxury Single-Family Homes o Waterfront estates along Lake County's pristine lakes o Equestrian properties with extensive acreage o Custom-built mansions with unique architectural features o High-end homes in exclusive neighborhoods Golf Course Community Properties Helen's expertise in golf course communities is unparalleled in the Lake County market.

"I educate my clients about every expense so they can make informed decisions and never become house-poor." The Helen Oliveri Difference: Independent Broker Advantage As an independent broker, Helen offers something the big franchise offices cannot provide: personal accountability and lightning-fast decision-making. "Time kills all deals," she says. "Being independent gives me the ability to let my clients be first and fast without waiting for corporate approval." What Sets Helen Apart o Personal Service: You're working directly with the broker-owner, not just another agent in a large franchise o In-House Everything: Photography, marketing, and all services are handled internally for quality control o Local Market Mastery: Unmatched knowledge of HOA structures, local regulations, and community specifics o Relationship-Focused: Building lasting connections that span generations of families Solving Complex Real Estate Challenges Helen's 20+ years of experience have taught her how to navigate the unique challenges of the Lake County luxury market. Pricing Custom Properties "Finding comparables for luxury homes is challenging because most are custom builds," Helen explains. "You cannot just use square footage when homes have completely different finishes and features. I leverage my deep market knowledge to help sellers price strategically." Jurisdictional Knowledge Helen knows which Lake County municipalities allow fences, which permit only in-ground pools, and where detached buildings are prohibited. This is crucial information for luxury buyers planning property customizations. Market Education She helps clients understand that national real estate trends do not reflect hyper-local Lake County conditions, ensuring they make decisions based on accurate, relevant market data. Community Connection and Giving Back Helen's commitment to Lake County extends far beyond real estate transactions. She actively supports: o Local school fundraisers and events o Park district sports teams o Community events at her office including free pumpkin pie giveaways, food trucks, and ice cream socials o Spirit walks and local charity initiatives "The community treats my organization very well, and people come out to celebrate and support us at every event," Helen shares.
