"Lacie is an incredible agent! The condo we wanted had only been on the market for four hours, and it was a hot deal so we knew we had to act quickly in this crazy Chicago market. Lacie was able to get us in on an exclusive tour right away, 5 hours prior to the showing, and also was able to write up multiple offers for us all on the same day. She negotiated hard and helped us win our dream starter home. She worked seamlessly with our lender and made the closing process clear and easy for us. We closed quickly and have been incredibly happy with our purchase. We can’t wait to have her as a selling agent on our other property. My fiancé and I highly recommend Lacie to anyone who is looking for beautiful properties in downtown Chicago. She has an eye for gorgeous properties and will negotiate hard for her clients. A++!!"
"Lacie was awesome. She took the time to set up multiple showings in one day to maximize the time we were in the city. She was patient and helped us narrow down our preferences until we found a great property worth our investment. She stood firm on our offer allowing us to get nearly our asking price and adding furniture, a parking space and a credit for minor repairs. We highly recommend!"

About Lacie
Lacie Defraties started her real estate career in 2021 with a deep-rooted passion for serving the people of Chicago. A Chicagoland native, former DePaul cheerleader, and Division I athlete, Lacie’s love for the city blossomed while living downtown, where she developed a keen eye for community growth and urban development.
After earning her degree from Indiana University, Lacie expanded her horizons living in both Arizona and California before returning home to Chicago. It was here that she seamlessly merged her strengths in networking, client relations, and real estate, building a business that spans from leasing to luxury sales, affordable condo purchases to multi-million dollar homes. No matter the price point, Lacie believes everyone deserves to feel proud of where they live, and she’s dedicated to making that happen.
In addition to sales, Lacie has a strong background in luxury property management. She’s overseen more than $100 million in real estate throughout River North, Gold Coast, and Lincoln Park, working closely with HOA boards, engineers, and maintenance teams. From high-end condo operations to complex budgeting and building projects, she brings unmatched value and insight to homeowners and investors alike.
With a long-standing career in hospitality, Lacie is known for her approachable demeanor, upfront communication style, and laser-focused ability to meet her clients’ needs. Her authenticity and confidence make her a powerful negotiator and an agent clients truly enjoy working with, no one is too blunt or too shy for her to connect with.
As a condo owner herself, she brings hands-on experience to every deal. And as a true Chicagoan who ditched her car, she explores the city on foot and Divvy, getting to know each neighborhood block by block. Her firsthand knowledge helps clients find homes that fit not just their budget, but their lifestyle, from the perfect gym to the ideal coffee shop or dog park.
When she’s not working, you’ll find Lacie taking oil painting and sculpting classes at Palette & Chisel, biking along the lakefront, or exploring new restaurants with friends. But her favorite company of all? Her beloved cat, Nala, who keeps her grounded, cozy, and inspired every day.
To Lacie, real estate is more than a career, it’s a calling to connect people to spaces that elevate their lives.
