One quote can sum up North Side expert Alice Berger’s career outlook in the booming Chicago real estate industry: “I love my job.”

Berger sold over $25 million of real estate this year and is consistently ranked as a top producer with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate and CAR. She says she prides herself on guiding her clients through the buying and selling process making it seamless. Her attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, knowledge of Chicago, expertise in construction and real care for her clients help her stand out from the competition.

Berger grew up in Rogers Park and then moved to Highland Park in the eighth grade. Married to a developer/general contractor, she’s lived in many neighborhoods throughout Chicago and considers herself an expert on the city. Before joining @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, Berger worked for an employment search firm. She loved the interactions and relationships she built with her clients and brings that same focus into her work in real estate.

Berger’s clients say she never pushes people into buying, but really listens and thinks about what is important to them. They say she always has their best interest at heart. She also has an excellent reputation for connecting her clients with contractors and tradespeople after closing. Berger’s mostly referral-based business allows the business to grow while she maintains close personal relationships with her clients. I truly care about each and every one of my clients. I give each client my full attention,” she says, “I treat every transaction I am involved in like it is my own sale or purchase.”
