When it looked like the market was finally bouncing back from the recession of 2008, Caitlin McLain figured it was the perfect time to realize her dream of becoming an agent. Now with a decade of professional know-how and valuable personal experience in the industry, she is proud of her ability to provide superior service to her clients.

Known for her responsiveness and sense of humor, McLain has a knack for helping homeowners utilize the equity in their current residence to purchase their dream home. She walks clients through every step of the contract process in advance, ensuring they are equipped to close confidently. “I am proud to say that all of my clients get my full attention,” shares the western Chicago native. A caring professional, she prioritizes the needs of those she serves. A self-described straight shooter, she values open, trust-based communication with her largely repeat and referral-based clientele. Further describing her style, McLain notes, “I am always honest, listen to my gut and make all my decisions with integrity. I love to laugh and crack jokes . . . buying and selling is stressful enough.”

Though McLain has earned many awards throughout her career, she is the most proud of her MLS ranking among the top 1% for volume of sales closed in 2022. She also attained her firm’s highest tier, Founders Club, and ranked among the MLS’s top 2% for number of transactions closed — each for the second year in a row.

The busy mom of two boys enjoys spending time at home with her family or walking one of her two dogs. She enjoys volunteering with Little Friends, Inc. – an organization that provides assistance to autistic individuals and their families – a cause close to her heart since her older son’s diagnosis of autism at age 3. When she does have some free time, you can catch her relaxing with a glass of wine while watching classic British murder mysteries.
