As a bilingual, technology-driven, proactive and learning-based agent, Leda Quiaro uses her knowledge of the market to help her clients navigate the world of Chicago real estate.
Quiaro decided to invest in her first house right out of college. What started as a journey to find her starter home quickly developed into a lifelong passion. She decided to pursue real estate as a career, then earned a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in real estate to deepen her knowledge of the industry.
Before entering real estate, Quiaro worked in information technology, which helped her effectively leverage new technologies. She has been using her IT experience to help drive and adapt her business and client experience to greater heights.
Quiaro’s adaptability and resilience helped her increase her sales volume and gross commission income this past year, while still maintaining personalized care for her clients. This has earned her the Top 1% Sales Volume Award from The Mainstreet Organization of Realtors. “I take my time to understand my clients’ needs and help find the right home for them,” Quiaro says, adding that she prefers to build long-lasting client relationships. “I really get involved in the process and help them feel as comfortable as possible.”
Quiaro and her team, including her husband, a transaction coordinator and a buyers’ agent, take a client-centered approach to the industry. “Having a team allows me to provide personalized service to clients,” she explains. “A team that can focus on their specific needs and schedules can result in a more positive experience for the client.”
What is Quiaro’s greatest personal accomplishment? That’s easy, she says: “My family and community involvement.” Last year, she adds, her sons won the state football championship in their division and her oldest child participated in a national football tournament.
Quiaro is a member of The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals and the Delta Mu Delta International Honors Society. Last year, she was honored as one of NAHREP’s Top 250 Latino Agents.
