Orland Park resident Elizabeth Ziaja, a Realtor with Baird & Warner, has made her home and community in the same area where she focused on serving clients. Raising kids alongside the people she now works with on the buying and selling side, Ziaja sees her hometown pride show through in everything she does.

“I was previously a loan processor for five years, so I completely understand the complexity of financing and mortgage processing,” she says. “This knowledge is very helpful in guiding my clients every step of the way to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. Clients describe me as trustworthy, responsive and available, and friendly.” In only her second year in business, Ziaja navigated the pandemic restrictions with creative drive, managing to homeschool her kids while landing in Baird & Warner’s President’s Club — the top 15% of producers companywide.

A member of the National Association of Realtors and Illinois Association of Realtors, Ziaja racks up five-star Google reviews by providing true friendship and guidance during and after the sale, making her a go-to resource for clients and a beacon for referrals. “I always try to learn as much as I can about who my clients are and what their needs are,” she explains.

Flexible on scheduling, Ziaja meets her clients’ schedules and makes it easy for them to tour properties and write offers — working weekends and evenings as needed to get the job done. “My clients need me the most in those moments, and I’m always there for them,” she says. Ziaja is an Accredited Buyer’s Representative, Pricing Strategy Advisor and Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource, among her other honors and specializations.

“I’m persistent in pursuing my clients’ best interests above all else,” she says proudly. “I’m not here to convert them into closed deals, but into true friends.” Treating clients like friends and family, Ziaja is paving the way to referrals and strong relationships — with great sales along the way.
