Larissa Brodsky – Chicago Luxury Real Estate Specialist | Certified International Property Expert

Global Insight. Local Excellence. Unmatched Luxury Representation.

As a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), Larissa Brodsky bridges continents and cultures, guiding discerning clients through Chicago’s luxury real estate market with precision and care. Fluent in English and Russian, she draws on her multinational background—having lived in Russia, Germany, Latvia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine—to provide seamless service for international buyers and sellers. Her expertise in cross-border transactions ensures confidence at every step, from initial search to closing.

A Chicagoan since 1990, Larissa pairs her analytical mastery—a master’s degree from DePaul University and a bachelor’s in applied mathematics—with an intuitive sense of design and lifestyle. Before real estate, she spent 16 years as a technology consultant, designing data-driven solutions for Fortune 500 clients. Today, she applies that same strategic insight to curate exceptional properties, whether a sky-high Streeterville penthouse or a historic Lincoln Park masterpiece.

Specializing in Chicago’s most prestigious enclaves—including Streeterville, Gold Coast, West Loop, Lincoln Park, and Bucktown/Wicker Park—Larissa is a trusted advisor in the luxury market. A Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), she advocates with tenacity and creativity to secure the best terms for her clients.

Beyond real estate, Larissa is a devotee of fine art, opera, and classical music, passions that inform her discerning eye for architecture and aesthetics. A proud Streeterville resident (with past homes in Evanston and Lakeview), she savors the city’s vibrant culture alongside her English Cocker Spaniel, Alfie.

Whether representing global investors, relocating families, or luxury buyers, Larissa delivers white-glove service grounded in market expertise and genuine connection.
