Since entering the industry in 2019, Lina Lee has quickly made a name for herself in Chicago real estate. Now, she’s affiliated with Vesta Preferred Realty.

Her first year as an agent, Lee was named Rookie of the Year by the Chicago Association of REALTORS® (CAR) and went on to be honored as a top producer by the association in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, she was named among RealTrends’ list of America’s Best Real Estate Professionals and, most recently, was part of the Lux Home Chicago team at @properties Christie’s International Real Estate.

Before beginning in real estate, Lee earned a marketing degree from Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business and spent years studying in Rome and Beijing. Born in Seoul, Korea, she is multilingual and speaks Korean, Mandarin and Italian, all in addition to English. She cites that international experience as having broadened her perspective, helping her to connect with people from different backgrounds.

Now, at Vesta Preferred Realty, she looks forward to working with her new colleagues. “Having the opportunity to help others achieve their real estate goals has always remained a privilege that I am incredibly grateful for,” Lee said. “I am very honored to have been selected to join their team!”

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Lina to the Vesta Team,” Vesta Preferred Realty Managing Broker Grigory Pekarsky said. “Her persistent drive to be the best version of herself and offer world class service to her clients aligns perfectly with our core principles here at Vesta.”
