Jameson Sotheby’s International Real Estate
Sherri Hoke is making big waves in Chicago real estate. Hoke works with all types of clients throughout the city. From investors to luxury buyers to individuals and families setting out to buy their first home, what’s most important to her is finding the right property for her clients’ needs. “My goal is to be a total real estate resource for multiple generations of the families I serve,” she tells us. Hoke adds that she considers every referral her most important achievement. “It shows that my clients feel confident referring me to their friends and family.”
After a career in the entertainment industry in New York and Los Angeles, Hoke and her family moved back to their hometown to be closer to family. Having a few rehabs and successful investment properties under her belt, and finding she had a knack for identifying strong potential in real estate, she knew pursuing a career in real estate would be the best fit. Hoke even follows the real estate market in Los Angeles and New York, explaining that those cities often serve as a bellwether for what’s to come to Chicago. “I am constantly reading, exploring and learning about the industry, market developments, neighborhoods and even the food scene, which is often a driving force of what will be the hottest-selling neighborhoods of tomorrow,” she says. “I try to be a complete resource to clients, directing them to design and construction resources, school resources, nanny resources and so on.”
She began her career at Baird & Warner’s Gold Coast office where she earned Rookie of the Year and credits her mentors’ guidance with her early success. She has earnest top producer recognition for the last five years and hopes to continue the trajectory. Hoke says that her young daughters are the inspiration behind all that she does, and that she constantly strives to set an example for them in all aspects of her life. “They see that with consistency and expertise, I can help guide people through difficult decisions. And most importantly, they have learned about work ethic, earning success, and that it is essential to constantly learn and evolve.”
