Team Leader of the LAKE Group at @properties

Lance Kirshner started his real estate career fresh out of college, having acquired his real estate sales license while simultaneously obtaining his business degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and he hasn’t stopped working to fine-tune his process in the 15 years since.

Eventually, he founded the LAKE Group, a real estate team that has shown consistently strong sales, thanks to a flourishing referral business bolstered by its concierge-level real estate services. While Kirshner has been pursuing his goal of perfection in the real estate transaction, he’s simultaneously worked to build strong working relationships within the real estate community with colleagues from both @properties and those from other brokerages.

“Being named Chicago Agent magazine’s city MVP is incredibly gratifying. Having been entrenched in the Chicago real estate market for 15 years, I have put tremendous effort into developing my brokerage business. It has been my commitment to building, fostering, and maintaining meaningful relationships with both my clients and colleagues that has elevated me to this position today,” Kirshner said.
