Before joining the real estate industry, Lina Shah studied law, specializing in title and conveyancing work in England. She then joined the diamond business in Chicago. Real estate wasn’t part of her career plan until her husband, whose family had been in the real estate business overseas, encouraged her to pursue it as a full-time career. She found real estate to be an excellent fit given her legal background, experience in sales and marketing, hard work ethic and natural ability to connect with people.

Shah began her real estate career during the 2008 economic downturn, which, in her words, was “the best way to start.” Since then, she’s found her niche selling luxury properties in Oak Brook and the surrounding areas. A resident of Oak Brook since 2002, she is deeply rooted in her community and participates in local organizations. She is also familiar with the northwestern suburbs, where she lived for 17 years, as well as the western suburbs and several other Chicago neighborhoods where she has lived and worked.

Shah has received numerous top honors from Coldwell Banker. A member of the International Society of Excellence and Global Luxury Division, she is a recipient of the Premier, Elite and Diamond Society awards. She is a leading agent in Chicagoland and the top agent in Oak Brook. Recognized in Chicago magazine’s “Best of the Best” list, she has also appeared as part of the Asian Real Estate Association of America’s A-List. She is a consistent recipient of Mainstreet Realtors’ Residential Platinum Award.

Given her local, national and global connections, Shah applies both local knowledge and a global perspective to her work. An expert in all matters of real estate, she offers unparalleled guidance at every step of the buying or selling process. She truly goes the extra mile for her clients.
