Baird & Warner is Illinois’ largest family-owned independent real estate services company, with a mission to make real estate easier — and BairdWarner.com is central to that goal. Over the past several years, the company has built BairdWarner.com into the most robust and easy-to-use resource for homebuyers and sellers, and their agents. Consumers have access to a suite of free tools that help them no matter what stage of the real estate journey they’re on — whether looking for the right agent, interested in a free home valuation, searching for their dream home or familiarizing themselves with communities across Chicagoland.

“We believe real estate should be easier,” said Jennifer Alter Warden, chief operating officer and executive vice president at Baird & Warner. “It’s a simple strategy, and our website is at its core. We’ve done everything in our power to make BairdWarner.com a place where both our agents and our clients have an experience that stands out — both for its breadth, as well as its ease of use.”
