A longtime Chicago resident, Kristi Roque has called Edison Park home since 2009. Her roots run deep in the community, where she’s raised her three sons and now serves her neighborhood as an elected board member for the Edison Park Chamber of Commerce. Roque’s path to real estate was sparked by a desire to build a career that balanced her love of homes, people and flexibility. A former Chicago Public Schools high school teacher and counselor, she brings empathy, intuition and strong communication to every client relationship.

Roque, an 18-year industry veteran, offers clients a professional style that is fun and approachable, while being highly structured and informative. Known for her honesty, responsiveness and ability to guide without pressure, she provides a steady hand in what can often be an emotional and complex process. Whether working with first-time buyers, city workers, step-up families or empty nesters ready to downsize, she takes the time to understand her clients’ needs and goals. Most of her business comes through referrals and long-standing connections — underscoring the relationships she builds and the trust she earns.

Now recognized as a Five Star Legend, Roque is a 15-year Chicago Magazine Five Star Agent Award winner. She is a consistent Founder’s Club honoree at Baird & Warner and has been named a Top Producer by the Chicago Association of Realtors and a Top 5% Nationwide Agent by HomeSnap.

Roque loves travel, cooking and all things ‘80s. The mom of three boys is married to a Chicago police officer and is passionate about serving first responders and their families. Says Roque, “It doesn’t matter to me if your path is short and straight, or long and winding. Each person’s experience is their own. I will honor that and be with you along your path, whatever it looks like.”
