RealTrends Verified Me Among The Top Real Estate Agents In Chicago

by Laura Shulman

My Awards and Accomplishments

I'm a Principal Agent with Redfin in the Chicago metro area, and in 2025 I was named a RealTrends top agent by volume and by sides — meaning total transactions closed. I also hold Gold Tier status at Redfin.

Over my career, I've closed 216 homes totaling $87 million in sales volume. I work across the north suburbs, including Palatine, Schaumburg, Northbrook, and Barrington, among others. My highest single sale reached $1,680,000.

Why Steady Results Build Client Confidence

Closing 216 transactions and $87 million in a market where the median home price is $393,614 and 41.5% of homes sell above list price shows consistent performance. With only 2.9 months of supply across the metro, my background in market research and firsthand experience as both a buyer and seller help clients make confident decisions.

My Largest Transactions

Five of my top transactions by sale price include 38W507 Fairway Dr, St Charles for $1,680,000 (2025), 941 S Benton St, Palatine for $1,075,000 (2025), 1509 Algonquin Dr, Schaumburg for $1,050,001 (2023), 4019 Crestwood Dr, Northbrook for $1,025,000 (2026), and 130 Carriage Trl, Barrington for $940,000 (2026).

Why I Love Being a Real Estate Agent

Real estate is more than a business to me. It's about helping people fulfill their real estate dreams. The largest investment most people make is buying a home, and with my experience in market research and firsthand knowledge of the process, I understand that journey from beginning to end. I'll walk with you every step of the way.
