Barbara Laken

I am a dedicated, full-time, full-service professional with over a decade of experience selling real estate in the Chicagoland area. I have raised a family here and currently share a vintage apartment with my husband Glenn and two puppies in Lincoln Park. Off hours, you can find me running the network of trails that trace Chicago’s lake-front and public lands – where wild nature effortlessly co-exists beside the glittering city skyline. It is a breathtaking reminder of the diverse beauty that defines our city by the lake.

The place we call home – where we celebrate, plan for the future, laugh, live, love – is as close a reflection of our true selves in all their varied forms as the friends we choose and the clothes we wear. Given the personal significance of where we live, it’s little wonder a transaction to buy or sell a home or condo - even under the best circumstances - can be unexpectedly fraught.

The decision to buy or sell a personal residence is a major financial transaction, involving a series of steps that can be complicated, confusing, and emotionally exhausting. That’s why it’s important to have an experienced real estate professional by your side during every stage of the process, providing you with expert advice, helping you make informed decisions and protecting your interests.
