After over 20 years in the industry, broker Joan Burny says there’s nothing she hasn’t seen before, so nothing can throw her off track. Specializing in Chicago’s northwest suburbs, Burny’s ability to navigate this unusual market has led to her best year ever.

After working in marketing and sales with larger companies and having her children, Burny began her second career in real estate. Her ability to teach and lead her clients creates the best possible experience for everyone involved. Whether her clients are first-time buyers, move-up buyers or looking for something smaller, Burny has the expertise and ability to get them into the perfect home.

Burny earned the Road to Rolex award from @properties in 2021 and has won overall-sales awards from the company every year for the past eight years. She was also recognized in the top 5% of Realtors by the North Shore-Barrington Association of Realtors.

Honesty and transparency are paramount to Burny’s success with clients, but she sums up her client-relations philosophy with three words: Passion, integrity and service. “I am committed and professional with all my clients and only want what’s best for them,” she says. “They like my extensive knowledge of the business, the fact that I am always there for them, and I go the extra mile. I make the experience of buying or selling as easy as possible.”

When not at work, Burny spends time with her grandchildren and enjoys hobbies like swimming, golfing and reading.
