You don’t always discover what you’re meant to do in life, but real estate pro Grace Pawlikowski has indeed found her calling. The 16-year veteran of the business has built a loyal client base at RE/MAX 10 through honesty, reliability, negotiating skills and market knowledge. Relationships with lenders, home inspectors, attorneys, contractors, and loan officers are also central to her success.

Pawlikowski specializes in new-constructions, luxury homes and investment properties. She works her magic for first-time homebuyers and lends her expertise to transactions involving town homes, multiunit dwellings, land and mixed/commercial buildings. Her bailiwick is Chicago’s southwestern suburbs. As a longtime Lemont resident, she has the ins and outs of all the southwestern suburbs at her fingertips.

Helping clients make their best real estate choices is Pawlikowski’s raison d’etre. After the transaction dust settles, she has remained friends with many of her clients. Her credo: “It doesn’t matter whether you are a pharmacy technician [her previous role] or a real estate broker. The interest of a client always comes first. And I will do whatever it takes to get the job done.” Her state-of-the-art marketing presentation features a savvy mix of professional photography, 3D visuals and aerial drone photos. She also provides a virtual tour, free market analysis and complementary consultation services.

Pawlikowski is an Accredited Buyer’s Representative, Certified Negotiation Expert, Broker Price Opinion Resource, e-PRO and top producer. Her real estate skills have not gone unnoticed: She received the 2021 Chicago Five Star Real Estate Award; she earned 100% Club-2021 and Executive Club-2020 awards from RE/MAX and RE/MAX 10’s 2021 Realtors on the Rise recognition; and she accrued multiple Chicago Association of Realtors Top Producer awards from Home Market Realty and a citation from Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Pawlikowski is charity oriented and donates part of her commissions to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital.

Pawlikowski is a bilingual native of Poland. Married and a mother of three, she enjoys reading, nature walks, travel and … kickboxing. Most of all, she is “proud of being able to empower people who never thought they could own a home.”
