Her expert knowledge of the business of real estate and the Streeterville neighborhood make her an invaluable asset to anyone thinking about real estate in the Streeterville neighborhood.

Katrina traveled a varied career path before landing at Streeterville Properties. She worked for three years at Warner Brothers Television on a major syndicated talk show while obtaining a very strong work ethic and lots of great stories! She made the jump from television to real estate in 2000 as property manager of a landmark commercial building in the Chicago Loop. The owner of the company shared his passion for the real estate business. He encouraged her to pursue her broker’s license. Katrina was inspired and obtained her Illinois Real Estate Broker’s License in 2004 and soon found a home at Streeterville Properties as its first broker associate.
Katrina possesses a genuine compassion for people and her strong character, competence, and the level of commitment she provides make her a valuable asset to her clients. “It is extremely important to me and I work hard to earn the trust and confidence of my clients. I especially enjoy negotiating on behalf of my clients to get the best price on their sale or purchase. I want them to feel like they’ve achieved the best outcome and I’m genuinely excited for them!”
Her clients describe her as being energetic and fun to work with, making the home buying and selling process more enjoyable and less stressful. “Experience has taught me that buying and selling real estate is not just a business transaction. It can be an emotional experience, and it's certainly one of the biggest financial investments most of us will make in our lifetime," she says. "That's why I commit to my clients for the long-term, and my goal is to serve as a resource and friend long after the closing."
“I serve on the Professional Board for PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving). I am a huge animal lover so I particularly enjoy helping fellow pet owners with the challenge of finding the pet friendly home of their dreams! I am also an active member and volunteer with SOAR (Streeterville Organization of Active Residents) and for the last two years I have been on the committee and served as Co-Chair of the successful BluePrints Fundraiser which honors Chicago architecture while raising money for SOAR. I believe that giving back and community service are very important and have a direct impact on our quality of life.”
“When I have rare down time I love spending it with my dog Quincy, travel, dining at Chicago's fine restaurants with friends and enjoying the city. I love helping people discover Chicago, Streeterville and all they have to offer so if you have any questions about the area or the Streeterville condo market you are welcome to stop by the office, send me an e-mail or give me a call! I look forward to working with you.”
“I love my new home! Thank you for listening to me, and finding exactly what I wanted!”

Lynn grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago. After graduating from the University of Illinois, she spent a few years in Los Angeles working in design. Missing the lively urban neighborhoods that define Chicago, Lynn returned to her hometown in 2001 to begin a career in residential lending. This career choice was perfect for her, as it allowed her to connect with her community and help others. Several years later, Lynn decided to expand her role in the real estate industry and become a Realtor with Streeterville Properties.
Customer satisfaction is paramount to Lynn. Real estate is usually one of the biggest investments a person makes and Lynn works diligently to understand her clients' needs needs. She facilitates each step of the transaction and negotiates to get the deal done efficiently, effortlessly and in her clients' best interests. It is her goal to be her clients' professional advisor, educator and true advocate.
Lynn's clients have described her as,
"By far and away the most competent and customer focused individual who played a role in our transaction. Lynn returned calls promptly and was proactive in letting us know where we stood. Given the unavoidable stress of purchasing a new home, it was reassuring to know that we were in such capable hands."
When asked how she would describe the nature of her job, Lynn simply states, "to negotiate the best deal, have a smooth transaction and hopefully have some fun along the way!" In her spare time, Lynn enjoys the sights and sounds of Chicago and long walks with her dog Linus.
Nikki has lived in the Streeterville area for over twelve years with her husband, Tony and their cherished little dog, KATO. Because of her love and concern for animals Nikki is involved with Chicago PAWS hoping to help find homes for the unwanted animals.
Hailing from a family of bankers, Nikki has enjoyed a successful career as a mortgage banker for over sixteen years. Nikki says, "There is nothing quite like the feeling of being a part in making the American dream come true.. home ownership! Streeterville is such a charming, unique neighborhood here in Chicago with absolutely everything at your fingertips. This is just one of the reasons I've decided to make Streeterville the main focus of my real estate career."
Nikki and her family are passionate sailors and she has served on the Chicago Yacht Race Committee for the past six years. Her Father's sailboat, Thirsty Tiger, has won the Chicago to Mackinac Island sailboat race twice overall and we've just enjoyed the 100th Anniversary of the Chicago Mac race this year in July!
