Elizabeth Bryant

For over 30 years, I have worked in Lake County real estate along Chicago's North Shore helping clients and corporate relocation transferees buy, sell, stage and improve their homes. Much of my work with Sellers is during the weeks and months long before the first showing. In addition to reviewing comparable home sales history, I help clients see their home from a buyers point of view. I am fairly hands-on as we rearrange furniture and accessorize, often without spending money. The Before & After photos are amazing. I also advise on what items to store or toss, and refer contacts for repairs, painting, carpeting and house cleaning. Depending on how long a seller has lived in a home, several visits may be made and the “to do” list is re-prioritized.

My goal with Buyers has always been to make a “Smart Buy”. To find a home with a good location that needs little work but offers the best resale. Over the last few years, my transferees with Abbott Labs or AbbVie have been even quicker to make improvements and repairs, sometimes before they move in, so they can enjoy the changes sooner.

Awards:

Starting in 1994, I earned several sales awards while with CENTURY 21® Kreuser & Seiler including the ultimate CENTURY 21® Centurion award, the corporate equivalent to the Emmy or Oscar which I earned almost every year. But I am just as proud to have earned several of our top customer service awards. My office merged with Baird & Warner in 2017. BW is one of the oldest family owned real estate companies in Chicago and is a top selling company with 29 local area offices. I consistently rank in the top 1% of local real estate agents and look forward to helping you.

Education:

In June 2006, I finished my MBA at Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, during which I elected to take three of the international trips offered to Europe, Asia and Brazil with an emphasis in International Marketing. We competed in teams not unlike the television show, "The Apprentice", solving real business problems for real companies overseas. The experience was unbelievable and took us to London, Berlin, Warsaw, Cambridge, Beijing, Bangkok, Rio & Sao Paulo.

Comments:

I think I am lucky in that I am one of those people who get to do what they love for a living. I enjoy working with people, solving problems, doing research and playing detective. A decade in advertising and sales has prepared me to do a better job at marketing and negotiating for my clients. My passion for home, garden and architecture helps me see better ways to stage homes to show their best. My experiences from moving twelve times with two children and living in six states has given me first-hand knowledge of the stresses and challenges families face when uprooting their lives.

I look forward to helping you buy or sell and walking you through a stress-free closing. I have helped some families in as many as five transactions. I know what I am doing and do it more than full-time and will personally handle your closing from start to finish.
