With over two decades of experience, Amy Avakian has built a thriving career in real estate, following an inspiring transition from the finance industry in downtown Chicago.

Avakian and her husband relocated to the Western suburbs, the place where she was born and raised, to raise their children. Since then, she has continued to help clients navigate the homebuying and selling process, serving as a trusted real estate broker with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate . “I am deeply involved in my community—supporting local schools, social clubs and charitable organizations,” says Avakian. “I take pride in helping clients find their perfect home and in welcoming new families to the Western suburbs.”

She understands the importance of having a local expert by your side during any real estate transaction. “Having a knowledgeable agent is invaluable, not only during the process but long after the sale is complete,” she explains. “As your agent, neighbor and friend, I provide valuable insight before, during and after the sale.”

Known for her approachable nature and sense of humor, Avakian also brings a sharp business acumen to her work. Her background in finance gives her a unique advantage when it comes to negotiating the best possible deal and explaining the financial intricacies of a home sale. “My focus is always on customer satisfaction and making the homebuying or selling process seamless,” she says.

Clients appreciate her dedication to open communication and her hands-on approach, offering everything from staging assistance to recommending trusted vendors for home improvement or design projects.

Outside of her real estate career, Avakian is a village trustee and helps run “Safety Village,” a summer program that teaches life-saving skills to young children.
