Before selling real estate, Lyn Flannery was marketing director of a start-up business, and part of the management team that led its Initial Public Offering. As an award-winning broker associate with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, she takes homes “public,” ensuring that sellers receive the highest value. For buyers, she treats every purchase as a long-term investment, exercising her fiduciary duty to protect them.
The opportunity to build lasting relationships with families and make a meaningful difference during important transitions in their lives inspired her to pursue a career in real estate 23 years ago. She and her husband Jim, who has over 30 years of executive marketing, data analytics, and branding experience, work as a team. She focuses on negotiations, relationships, and transaction management, and he develops pricing strategy, marketing, and data-driven insights.
“We combine traditional relationship-based real estate with sophisticated marketing, maximizing every listing’s exposure while maintaining a strong personal connection with our clients,” she says.
The team assists luxury buyers and sellers, who value their time and appreciate a consultative approach, in the North Shore and Chicago’s upscale neighborhoods. Responsive and detail-oriented, they focus on achieving the best possible outcome for clients — not simply completing a transaction.
Having lived and worked on the North Shore for more than 30 years, Flannery knows the neighborhoods, schools, local market trends, and subtle differences that often influence home values.
“We believe buying or selling a home should never feel transactional,” she says. “Our clients receive thoughtful advice, sophisticated marketing, and personalized attention from two experienced professionals who genuinely care about their success.”
The Flannery’s have been married for 35 years and have three adult sons. They say balancing a successful real estate career while building lasting relationships with clients and maintaining a strong family has been a dream come true.
