Power couple Carla and Jimmie Walker are 25-year veterans serving a wide range of clients across Chicago. But their connections do not stop there. Being a part of an elite society of top producers for many years, their reach includes California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and New York, to name a few. And, whether it’s a first-time buyer, renter, home-seller or investor, they have the resources and network to complete the transaction.
During their combined years in the industry, they have amassed an impressive array of accolades, including being listed in Chicago Agent Magazine four times recently, Top Agent Magazine and other publications. Carla holds a managing broker’s license, and both hold several specialized real estate certifications.
What makes them successful is their ability to educate and promote their client’s interest first and foremost. Listening is a skill that they feel is instrumental to a better outcome. As Carla says: “In real estate, if you cannot hear what your clients are saying and understand what is important to them, they won’t be your clients for long.”
The personalities of this dynamic duo complement each other beautifully. They can both shift easily to handle listings, showings, inspections and providing resources to their clients. Jim is patient and kind, and can solve almost any problem, big or small. Carla is skilled at marketing, and enjoys educating her clients on the market, to help set expectations.” We truly listen. We want to provide as streamlined and stress-free an experience as possible,” says Carla. However, it is the respect of other agents that makes the Walkers stand out. “We respect our peers. “We are not in competition with anyone,” Carla emphasizes. “We all need each other, and to work together to provide the best service to our individual clients.”
During their off hours, they love travelling together and visiting friends. Carla is deeply involved in philanthropy. She is actively involved in her Gold Coast community and is serving a second term as first-vice president of Gold Coast Neighbors and has served as president of the House of the Good Shepherd Women’s Board. Jimmie likes to golf, read and spend time with friends and family.
