Denise Salazar inherited her parents’ passion for real estate and now shares it with her own clients. Salazar, a chief executive broker, works in the greater Chicagoland area, including downtown and the surrounding suburbs. She has particular expertise with Lake Point Tower and acquired the building’s top luxury listing in the past year.

With a background in interior design, Salazar offers her clients a full array of services, including construction, renovation design and management, interior decorating, staging, and consulting. She also brings two marketing giants to the table: Coldwell Banker and her family’s marketing firm. Salazar offers clients a very exclusive and customizable marketing strategy to deliver the best results. She is also able to connect her clients with platforms and customized collateral to best represent their interests and needs.

“I treat each and every client like they are my biggest client,” says Salazar. “This is the secret to my ever-growing business. I focus on my clients’ needs and deliver. They feel like they’re my only client.”

Focusing on property investors as well as luxury buyers and sellers, Salazar prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing quality.

“These are extremely busy individuals who don’t like to waste time,” she says, explaining that many of her clients are doctors, business owners, professional athletes and entrepreneurs.

This year, Coldwell Banker’s International Sterling Society ranked Salazar among the top 25 percent of individual agents nationwide. She is a member of the Chicago Association of Realtors.
