Whether it’s helping first-time buyers navigate unfamiliar territory or advising sophisticated sellers on how to maximize value, Amy Avakian makes the process feel both seamless and empowering. “I deliver my deep knowledge of the local market, an eye for smart pricing and experience in staging,” she says. “I also bring a calm, solutions-driven presence to every transaction.”
A broker with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, Avakian and her husband relocated 22 years ago to the western suburbs, where she grew up. “I take pride in helping clients find their perfect home and welcoming new families to the western suburbs,” she says. Before settling back in her hometown, she worked in the financial industry in downtown Chicago, which gives her a unique advantage when it comes to negotiating the best possible deals and explaining the financial intricacies of a home sale. “My focus is always on customer satisfaction and making the home buying or selling process seamless,” she insists. “I also remain a reliable, local resource for home updates and trusted vendor recommendations long after the sale is complete.”
Currently ranked among the top 10 brokers in Western Springs and the top 5% of Chicagoland agents by Midwest Real Estate Data, Avakian has earned a reputation for pairing expert-level strategies with a personal, client-first approach. “It’s important to listen carefully and communicate clearly to clients,” she says. “I guide my buyers and sellers with a balance of data-backed strategy and thoughtful, personalized service.” Serving as a village trustee in Western Springs, she is also a longtime volunteer with Safety Village, a summer program that teaches lifesaving skills to young children in town.
During her free time, Avakian enjoys spending time with her three children, playing paddle tennis and visiting local events, shops and restaurants.
