Layne Zagorin

Real estate isn’t just about properties—it’s about people. As a Licensed Broker at Compass Real Estate, I bring a client-first mindset, strategic marketing expertise, and deep knowledge of Chicago’s most coveted neighborhoods, including Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, and the Near North Side.

I began my career in healthcare and nonprofit leadership after earning my MBA in Marketing and Management(following a BS in Genetics from UW-Madison). But it was during the search for my own home that I discovered a passion for real estate—specifically, for helping people find the place that fits their lives, values, and dreams.

Formerly with @properties and now proud to be part of the Alex Stoykov Group at Compass, I leverage innovative tools and a collaborative team environment to deliver exceptional results. Whether managing the sale of a luxury penthouse, guiding first-time buyers, or advising on new construction, I bring project management precision and heartfelt care to every transaction.

I specialize in condominiums, single-family homes, co-ops, townhomes, and new development, and I pride myself on streamlining complex processes with clarity and calm. My goal? To save clients time, exceed expectations, and make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me on the board of JNF-USA and Rice Children & Family Center, enjoying life in Lincoln Park with my husband and two daughters, or squeezing in a workout between school pick-ups.
