Before becoming a real estate broker, Tim Sacks worked in technology sales during the recession — a role that often left him unable to advocate fully for clients. That disconnect motivated him to pivot to real estate, which allowed him to work directly for his customers. Influenced by his mother’s success as a property owner and renovator, he saw real estate as a path to help others experience the pride and stability of homeownership.
Over the past 12 years, Sacks has built a referral-based business rooted in responsiveness, empathy and preparation. Focusing primarily on first-time buyers and small multifamily investors, he works across neighborhoods such as Lakeview, North Center, Lincoln Square, Skokie and the northwest suburbs. He brings a consultative style to every transaction, combining deep listening with a calm, adaptable presence that helps clients stay grounded in stressful moments. Clients consistently cite his quick communication and respectful approach to their time and concerns.
Sacks has received multiple sales production awards, including top-producing team honors from the Chicago Association of REALTORS®. In 2023, he was named a top producer at Fulton Grace, and in 2024, he returned to
@properties Christie’s International Real Estate to continue his work independently.
Sacks is an active volunteer for the Chicago Marathon and a supporter of Alex’s Lemonade Stand, inspired by a young relative’s leukemia, which is now in remission. In addition, he regularly volunteers at local school events and neighborhood festivals.
Outside of work, Sacks and his partner, Evelyn, enjoy kayaking, attending live ’90s concerts and playing pickleball and tennis. He happily devotes much of his time to raising three teenage boys and exploring the city with his family.
