For more than 15 years, Susan Panozzo has been helping clients navigate Chicago’s residential real estate market with a combination of local knowledge, strategic insight and straightforward advice. Working with buyers, sellers and investors throughout Chicagoland, she has built a business rooted in long-term relationships, trusted referrals and a reputation for helping clients see opportunities other agents might miss.
A real estate broker with Compass and a selling partner with Busby Group, Panozzo is an Illinois native and a proud West Town resident. Deeply connected to the communities she serves, she has a client base extending well beyond Chicago, including investors from Europe and Australia who rely on her ability to translate local market dynamics into sound real estate decisions. “Whether helping a family find the right neighborhood or guiding an investor through an acquisition, I bring the same thoughtful, analytical approach to every transaction,” she says.
Recognized as a top producer by the Chicago Association of REALTORS® since 2015, Panozzo is particularly skilled at evaluating neighborhood-level trends and identifying areas positioned for growth. Clients often describe her as steady, responsive and exceptionally knowledgeable. Known for simplifying complex decisions and anticipating challenges before they arise, she keeps transactions moving forward with confidence. “While real estate can be one of life’s most significant financial decisions, I believe the process should feel transparent, manageable and even enjoyable,” she shares.
Outside of real estate, Panozzo enjoys traveling and is an active supporter of the Special Olympics, where she has led record-setting fundraising efforts through the annual Polar Plunge.
