Clients ranging from luxury buyers and sellers to first-time homebuyers and investors count on Ali Lerner’s expert assistance. For nearly six years, she’s been serving Chicago North Shore and its suburbs. Although she primarily handles single-family homes, she’s well-versed when it comes to townhomes and condos.

In 2021, Lerner sold nearly $15 million in real estate. Her dedication landed her on the cover of Chicago Top Agent Magazine and won her recognition as a featured agent in North Shore Real Producers Magazine. She’s also been nominated as a Chicago Five Star Professional in 2021 and 2022, and Tycoon Success magazine named her one of the 10 Most Admired Real Estate Experts to Follow in 2022.

While Lerner values professionalism, she realizes that it’s equally important to make transactions fun and stress-free for her clients. She takes time to understand their goals. “I answer all questions honestly about their particular home and what they can expect in the current housing market,” she says “This helps me create a unique, personalized marketing strategy that produces favorable results.” Her clients marvel at her in-depth market knowledge and lightning-fast responses to their communications. “I’m highly resourceful in finding places that aren’t even on the market yet. I’ve even had some success in writing handwritten letters to specific homeowners in areas and homes my buyers identify as what they’re looking for,” she says. “Hearing people tell me that they don’t know what they’d do without me really tugs my heartstrings.”

Lerner believes her caring nature and thirst for knowledge differentiate her “My hunger for learning and staying on the cusp of the latest tools and technology in the industry really helps set me apart,” she says. “I also believe that genuine kindness and integrity cannot be faked.”
