Blake Galler

Baird & Warner - Evanston

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
Hi, I'm Blake Galler, the Realtor behind Broker Blake at Baird & Warner in Evanston, Illinois.

I've been helping buyers and sellers navigate the Chicagoland real estate market since 2015, with over $48 million in career sales and recognition among the top 4% of Coldwell Banker-affiliated agents worldwide through its International President's Circle award.

My business takes me throughout Evanston, Chicago, the North Shore, and surrounding suburbs. From Lincoln Park, Lake View, Bucktown, and Logan Square to Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Highland Park, I've helped clients with everything from their first condo to luxury homes, investment properties, and complex transactions that require a little extra creativity.

What I love most about real estate is that no two clients, homes, or situations are alike. I take the time to understand what matters to you, whether that's finding the perfect neighborhood, maximizing the value of a home you've loved for years, or simply making sure you're making a smart financial decision.

For buyers, I'm incredibly hands-on. I'll help you understand pricing, identify potential issues, evaluate opportunities, and navigate negotiations with confidence. I'm not afraid to tell you when I think a home isn't right, even if it means starting the search all over again. I'd much rather you love your decision years from now than feel pressured into making one today.

For sellers, I believe preparation and positioning make all the difference. From thoughtful pricing and marketing to managing showings, evaluating offers, and navigating inspections, I approach every detail with the goal of protecting your interests and achieving the strongest possible outcome.

My clients often describe me as knowledgeable, patient, honest, and exceptionally communicative. I take that seriously. You'll work directly with me throughout the process, and you'll always know where things stand. I'm also a strong believer in giving straightforward advice, even when it isn't necessarily what someone wants to hear.

As an LGBTQ+ Realtor, I'm especially proud to provide an inclusive, welcoming experience for clients of all backgrounds. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely represented when making such an important decision.

A little about me outside of real estate: I have a background in opera and magic, love traveling, and genuinely enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories. I think that curiosity and appreciation for people carry over into how I approach my work.

At the end of the day, real estate is about relationships, not just transactions. I want you to feel like you have someone knowledgeable in your corner who genuinely cares about the outcome.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling your fifth, or just exploring what's next, I'd love the opportunity to help!

Blake is an exceptional talent. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in our home search. Blake’s knowledge of the market is excellent. He knew the neighborhoods, the pricing trends, and what to watch for in each property, and he explained everything in a way that made us feel informed and confident in our decisions.

He was also incredibly patient. We had plenty of questions and took our time, and he never made us feel rushed or like we were asking too much. He let us move at our own pace while keeping the process on track.

What really set Blake apart is how he partnered with us. He was supportive and always in our corner, and he was just as willing to give us a gentle push when he knew we needed one. Those nudges came at exactly the right moments and made a real difference in the outcome.

Blake is one of the best realtors we’ve worked with, not to mention a lovely human being, and we would absolutely work with him again. We recommend him without hesitation.

I can't recommend Blake enough. My wife and I were relocating to Chicago and needed to find a place quickly. We didn't know the city well, and within a few days Blake found us a great home. If you need an agent who knows Chicago, look no further. He won't steer you wrong.

AMAZING realtor. So knowledgeable, helpful, and always willing to chat through questions and walk through the best next step. He's truly looking out for his clients not just trying to make a sale. Couldn't recommend more highly!

We had a fantastic experience working with Blake! We moved to Chicago earlier this year in the middle of winter, when inventory was limited. When we found a place we loved, Blake went above and beyond to make it happen, and we couldn’t be happier with where we live now.

Blake is friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly communicative. He kept us informed throughout the process and made us feel supported every step of the way. He’s also clearly well connected in Chicago’s real estate community, with relationships and local knowledge that made a real difference in our search.

We’re so grateful for the personal effort he put into helping us get the place we wanted and will definitely be using him again in the future. We highly recommend Blake to anyone looking for a home in the Chicago area!
