    About Lauren Shimmon

    Lauren is a Chicagoland native and has experience in the Chicago real estate market since 2005. She has lived in several of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods over the years and currently calls River North home. Lauren's top priority is to provide her clients with superior market knowledge, care and attention throughout the home buying and selling process. Unlike most Brokers, Lauren hopped into real estate right after college obtaining her real estate broker's license while still earning her Bachelors Degree at the University of Illinois. There, she was a member of the Women's Track & Field Team and found the fast paced world of real estate was a perfect fit for hardworking and competitive nature. And she wasn't wrong - her hard work and passion for real estate was a perfect match and she has since earned numerous Top Producer awards over the years. As a seasoned agent, she has a keen understanding of pricing her client's property to sell averaging a sales price of 99.56% of asking price. Conversely, she has learned to really listen to her clients needs when purchasing which helps to achieve the ultimate goal of finding a perfect property and negotiate the best possible deal. Lauren is excited to combine her knowledge, passion and earnestness with exceptional and innovative marketing and customer care to continue providing the best experience for her clients - both buyers and sellers. She loves to meet new people and believes that it is important for everyone to have fun while engaging with clients to realize their real estate goals.

    Lauren and Kyle were fantastic! This was my first home sale and they helped me through the entire process with confidence, ease, and general friendliness. Their communication was excellent and I truly can't think of a thing they could have done better. I will use them again myself and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

    I had little experience with real estate and no friends in the industry, so I truly feel lucky to have found Lauren and her partner/brother Kyle. I reached out to a few companies specializing in properties in Lakeview, Chicago, and Lauren was the first to respond. She quickly scheduled a meeting, listened carefully to my wants and needs, and gave me clear, thoughtful advice on how to move forward while explaining all the nuances of the process. Throughout the entire sale, she guided me with professionalism and courtesyaEUR"from recommending touch-ups to preparing for the photoshoot. The 3D staging photos were so good I almost wanted to keep my place! Lauren kept me updated with detailed reports and follow-ups on all showings and interested offers. Thanks to her expertise, I received multiple offers within weeks, sold above asking price, and closed within two months. She and Kyle were professional, knowledgeable, and always had my best interest at heart. They masterfully handled all the dealings with the association, title companies, and lawyersaEUR"making my part as simple as reading and signing documents. Overall, it was a very smooth, pleasant, and successful experience. I highly recommend Lauren and Kyle to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago.

    Lauren was incredible to work with as we were looking for a condo in Chicago. We were so lucky to have a friend recommend her to us, as we are new to the city and had no idea where to start. Lauren made sure she understood exactly what our needs were and was patient and reassuring as she expertly helped us navigate our search for just the right Chicago condo. Throughout the closing process, Lauren put together the best team of professionals that promoted and protected our best interests. Even after the closing, Lauren has kept in touch and helps with recommendations on service professionals or whatever we need. We can not recommend Lauren highly enough. The best!
