Native Chicagoan Kim Kerbis has been an award-winning, top-producing real estate agent in the city for over 25 years. She brings both a high touch and a high-tech approach to working with clients, 99% of whom are past clients or referrals. “I work with buyers and sellers and do a touch of leasing as well,” says Kerbis. “I think it is important to see the whole market, not just a small part of it. Even though the market can be segmented, it all works together as a cohesive whole. I’m always educating myself and asking questions to see how local, national and international events put pressure on different aspects of the market.”

In addition to being a Chicago Association of Realtors top producer, Kerbis has been included on Chicago Agent’s Who’s Who list since 2016, and was voted the magazine’s Managing Broker of the Year (city) in 2019; was ranked as one of Chicago’s most influential residential real estate brokers by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2018; was  the top-producing individual agent in the @properties Christie’s International Real Estate Lakeview office in 2016; and has appeared on WBEZ and been a go-to resource for local and national news outlets, including Crain’s, Chicago magazine, Curbed Chicago and the Chicago Tribune. She is also renowned for “kerb appeal – working with buyers,” a course she teaches to @properties Christie’s International Real Estate agents.

Kerbis chairs the Chicago Association of REALTORS’s Forms & Contracts Committee and serves on CAR’s and Illinois REALTORS’ Professional Standards committees. She also recently served on CAR’s board of directors. She sits on the board of trustees for the Francis W. Parker School and the board of directors of the Chicago Women in Architecture Foundation. “I was recently named an @properties brand ambassador,” she adds. “Everything I do, whether on behalf of my clients or for the profession or for the organizations I serve, reflect my belief system: ‘Everything to help, and nothing to hinder.’”
