Paul Blackburn - Vice President of Brokerage Services Paul Blackburn - Designated Managing Broker, From there, I moved into selling real estate for the next 13 years.

I support and motivate real estate brokers and work tirelessly to ensure they are on the path to success; however they choose to define success. As the Designated Managing Broker of the Goose Island & North Center offices I have the opportunity to work with brokers of all experience levels and skill sets. I develop relationships with each one of our brokers so I can better understand h

ow myself along with can continue to better support the dreams and goals of all our Realtors. My experience in real estate started in college when I founded a development company that worked on single family rehabs and condo conversions in Chicago and its suburbs. I have been interviewed by Fox News Chicago, The Chicago Tribune, and Crain's Chicago Business regarding Chicago's luxury sales & leasing market. I've served as an expert witness in the Cook County Circuit Court regarding residential & commercial property values. I have also served as a consultant for government agencies regarding real estate fraud in the great Chicagoland area. When I am not supporting one of our brokers you can find me cooking in the kitchen or traveling the world, preferably via cruise ship, all while enjoying great cocktails and even better wine.

Somehow I got talked into officiating a wedding... and honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted to spend Memorial Day weekend any other way.

Celebrating Kathryn & Peter at Esperanza was incredible. Amazing friends, amazing food, plenty of cocktails, and one of the most beautiful settings I’ve ever seen.

Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and Peter keeping Kathryn calm. 🍸❤️

Hmmmm….how about that? I’m just going to leave this right here. Swipe to check out a few other neighborhoods….

Had a great time speaking at the Appraisal Institute Chicago Chapter’s annual “Conditions of the Chicago Real Estate Market” event at DePaul University alongside such a strong group of industry leaders.

And apparently the event stuck with a few people 😂 — I was leaving the casino around 12:30am Saturday when someone stopped me and said, “Are you Paul? You spoke at my appraisal seminar last week… you were the highlight of the class!”

Not going to lie, that one made my night. Grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a fun and insightful event. 🏙️👏

What if I told you, you could grow your business with a simple ask? Seven years ago I started a simple challenge with my team. We’ve now launched that challenge to 3,500 agents company wide. The power to grow more inventory and to provide more opportunities for your clients lies within your network!

The premise is simple. Use your phone for what it was meant for: deepening relationships with those around you and make a simple ask.
