Jim Abbott - Baird & Warner Real Estate

Jim Abbott - Baird & Warner Real Estate Born and raised in Chicago, I could not think of anywhere I would rather call home! Please feel free to contact me. I am here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Jim Abbott – Founder of The Abbott Group & Trusted Real Estate Expert
With a passion for real estate and a commitment to excellence, Jim Abbott is a highly accomplished REALTOR® and the founder of The Abbott Group, known for its outstanding service. I've had a fascination with Real Estate since I was a kid and feel fortunate that I get to do what I love in my favorite city in the world! That passion, honesty, communication, twenty years sales experience, and an expert at negotiations make Real Estate a perfect fit for me. Moving can be a very stressful experience having gone through it myself twelve times! As a buyer, nothing beats that feeling of closing on your new home and getting possession of those keys. As a seller, being able to sell your house quickly and start a new chapter is just as exciting. I will be there the entire way for you, anticipating your needs, guiding you through the process, and negotiating a great deal. Having lived and worked in Chicago and the North Shore I am very knowledgeable about many neighborhoods and am an expert in staging and design. I would love to help you find your dream home, and if you'd like, even offer design ideas. If you are selling I can offer staging advice so that your home shows at its best commanding top dollar and the attention it deserves. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, Illinois Association of Realtors, and the Chicago Association of Realtors. I would love to meet with you and earn your business. Best,

Jim Abbott

From sizzling tacos on Southport to classic cars cruising Ogden, we’re soaking up every last drop of summer this weekend.

I’m planning to hit the art stalls in the West Loop, grab a taco flight in Lakeview, and still make time to cheer on families at a Back-to-School Bash.

What’s on your must-do list?

Drop your picks below and let’s compare notes.

If you’re ready to explore a new neighborhood, send me a DM and we’ll start the search together.

As a local resident, I have watched West Loops first hand the past 30 years. West Loop/Fulton Market is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. I am now addicted to Prince Street Pizza on Randolph.

We never miss the thrill of jets carving arcs above Lake Michigan, and this year’s Air & Water Show on August 15–16 is shaping up to be a stunner.

If you’re staking out North Avenue Beach or booking a rooftop, count on crowds two million strong—so plan breakfast-early arrivals.

Our team loves pairing clients with lakefront homes that double as year-round VIP seats to events like this.

🏡 Exciting times in the Chicagoland real estate market!

In June, we saw a remarkable 3.9% increase in home sales, with nearly 10,000 properties changing hands.

However, the inventory is tightening, dropping by 14.4% year-over-year to just under 15,000 homes.

This imbalance between demand and supply is pushing the median sales price up by 4.6%, now sitting at $407,000.

As we move into the summer months, experts predict a continued rise in prices, with an expected 8% increase in the coming months.

If you're considering buying or selling, now is the time to act!

Let's connect and navigate this dynamic market together.📈💼
