No two clients have the same story to tell. That’s why Evelyn Fred, a broker with Baird & Warner, believes her positive attitude, contagious energy and diverse work experience have led her to where she is today.

Fred has built a loyal clientele by demonstrating perseverance, integrity, honesty and the highest level of customer service. From first-time homebuyers to experienced investors, she oversees every stage of the process and stays engaged with her clients long after a deal has closed.

Clients have commented that Fred looks out for them like family members. She brings a whole team of experts to the table from mortgage consultants and lawyers to home inspectors, and is truly dedicated to providing honest and educated feedback to serve her clients’ best interests. Because Fred takes the time to educate and inform, the majority of her business comes from repeat customers and referrals from appreciative clients.

Fred’s combination of market knowledge, dedication and commitment to keeping all parties informed creates a sense of client ease and confidence. Through the use of cutting-edge technology, research and negotiation, Fred creates solutions to get her clients what they want at the best value. “My background in working with a very diverse group of business owners has really helped me to understand and appreciate my clients’ perspective,” she says.

Fred enjoys working with a variety of clients in the real estate industry with a special focus on sellers. Challenges in her own personal life — such as battling cancer and having a double mastectomy — led her to develop a unique sense of strength both inside and outside of the workplace. She recently earned the distinction of Member of the Year for both the Illinois and Chicago networks of the Women’s Council of Realtors.

Fred is a member of the Women’s Council of Realtors, the Chicago Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors, and she is also involved in the Cancer Fighters Network. Outside of work, Fred enjoys fine dining, traveling, relaxing by a Caribbean beach or pool, and expanding her horizons in every aspect of her life.
