Chicago's #1 Luxury Real Estate Agent
Carrie McCormick
Real estate is my passion, and I have redefined how luxury homes are sold by treating every property as a work of art. As a leading Chicago luxury real estate expert, I believe exceptional homes deserve elevated, modern marketing that reflects how today’s sophisticated buyers search, evaluate, and make decisions. Each listing is supported by custom branding, bespoke property websites, cinematic film, architectural photography, strategic press, and curated events that showcase the lifestyle, emotion, and story behind the home. Backed by my affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate, my clients benefit from unparalleled global exposure to affluent buyers across more than 45 countries. Selling a home is deeply personal, and my role is to guide you through a smooth, strategic process while creating demand, driving urgency, and delivering faster sales with stronger net proceeds. Every home has a story and I bring it to life.

Carrie was instrumental in the sale of our Lincoln Park home. She was able to achieve the sale on the private market thanks to her solid marketing plan, her network, and her overall knowledge of the market, even in these challenging macroeconomic times. Carrie was by our side us every step of the way, which resulted in a seamless transaction. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the result -- thank you!S&C
LEARN MORE ABOUT CHICAGO CO-OPS
Carrie and Mark explain what a co-op is, how it works, and if it’s the right fit for you. Unlike a traditional real estate purchase, you don’t buy the property itself—you buy shares in the co-op association, a corporation of the building’s residents. The corporation owns the interior, exterior, and common areas, while your shares give you exclusive rights to your living space.
