Laura Lando, Real Estate Advisor with the Lake Group, Compass

Laura has been an accomplished real estate professional since 2005. She is well-versed in all of Chicago's downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, as well as the north and west suburbs. She specializes in assisting buyers with condominium and single-family home purchases, as well as investment properties. Laura utilizes her vast network to access off-market and coming soon listings, which can be a huge advantage to buyers in a competitive market. She also spends a lot of her time working with sellers, providing the most current market data and knowledge of Chicago's neighborhoods to accurately price and market their home for the best possible return. She is a pro at targeting potential buyers through digital advertising in order to increase activity for listings. Laura also has a passion for interior design and decor, which helps her advise sellers on home staging and simple updates they can do to in order to attract the largest pool of buyers for their property. Laura's number one goal is to provide her clients with excellent customer service and to make them feel comfortable throughout the buying and selling process, knowing that it is often one of the largest financial decisions her clients will make in their lifetime. She is dedicated to making sure her clients are well informed, treating each transaction as if it were her own investment. She does not view real estate as a one-time transaction; rather, it's about creating a long-term, trustworthy relationship with each client. Long after the transaction is complete, Laura keeps in touch with her clients and remains their resource for "all things real estate" (contractor/vendor referrals, current market analysis, etc). This approach is why Laura has earned such a strong referral business over the years. She is always in tune with the ever-changing market and uses that knowledge to guide and inform her clients. Laura continues to sharpen her real estate knowledge through continuing education courses and acquiring new credentials, such as Certified Negotiation Expert and Accredited Buyer Representative. Laura has worked with the LAKE Group since 2012, where her business has continued to grow year after year. The Lake Group is a results-driven and detail-oriented team known for their concierge-level real estate services. They are consistently a top-producing team within the top 1% of realtors in Chicago, most recently grossing over $43 million in 2019, $47 million in 2020, and $74 million in 2021.
